During a survey carried out in Serbia in black poplar trees typical symptoms of phytoplasma presence were observed: yellowing and undersize of the leaves, witches broom and decline. Survey for phytoplasma presence in Belgrade and in its surrounding al-low to identify phytoplasmas belonging to ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris’ group, in particular to two 16SrI subgroups 16SrI-P and 16SrI-A.

Abstract
During a survey carried out in Serbia in black poplar trees typical symptoms of phytoplasma presence were observed: yellowing and undersize of the leaves, witches broom and decline. Survey for phytoplasma presence in Belgrade and in its surrounding al-low to identify phytoplasmas belonging to ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris’ group, in particular to two 16SrI subgroups 16SrI-P and 16SrI-A. Blast search of obtained strain in subgroup 16SrI-P of the 16SrDNA sequence showed 100% homology with aster yellows phytoplasma strain from poplar from Croatia.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
