Abstract
The use of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma’ as provisional taxon is helping both epidemiological studies and quarantine rules settling. A focused search in database evidences discrepancies and problems for strains enclosed in ‘Ca. P. aurantifolia’ and ‘Ca. P. australasia’ that share very often the same geographic distribution in Asian and Australian countries. An improved differentiation based on multigene approach could be useful to a more clear distiction of these phytoplasma strains.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
