A Cressa cretica witches’ broom disease was observed in Ardakan (Yazd province, Iran) during 2018-2021. Total DNAs extracted from eighteen symptomatic and four asymptomatic plants were subjected to nested PCR assays using primers amplifying the phytoplasma 16S ribosomal DNA. Expected length of PCR amplification products was detected in all symptomatic plant samples but not in those asymptomatic. RFLP analysis of the R16F2n/R16R2 amplicons showed mixed infection of phytoplasmas enclosed in 16SrXXIX and 16SrI groups.

Abstract
A Cressa cretica witches’ broom disease was observed in Ardakan (Yazd province, Iran) during 2018-2021. Total DNAs extracted from eighteen symptomatic and four asymptomatic plants were subjected to nested PCR assays using primers amplifying the phytoplasma 16S ribosomal DNA. Expected length of PCR amplification products was detected in all symptomatic plant samples but not in those asymptomatic. RFLP analysis of the R16F2n/R16R2 amplicons showed mixed infection of phytoplasmas enclosed in 16SrXXIX and 16SrI groups.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
