Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum is associated with the quarantine phytoplasma European stone fruit yellows (ESFY)disease that generally induces yellows, tree decline or die-back and vegetative disorders with typical symptoms such as an early bud break and leaf rolling on most of wild and cultivated Prunus species. Ca. Phytoplasma prunorum causes substantial economic loss due to the decline and death of the infected trees; in order to riduce ESFY spreading, a specific, sensitive molecular diagnostic method is needed to early identify and then remove infected plants. A rapid, sensitive, and reliable diagnostic method based on Spot Real-Time Reverse Transcription-PCR Taqman assay has been developed for Ca. P. prunorum detection and relative quantification.

Abstract

Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum is associated with the quarantine phytoplasma European stone fruit yellows (ESFY)disease that generally induces yellows, tree decline or die-back and vegetative disorders with typical symptoms such as an early bud break and leaf rolling on most of wild and cultivated Prunus species. Ca. Phytoplasma prunorum causes substantial economic loss due to the decline and death of the infected trees; in order to riduce ESFY spreading, a specific, sensitive molecular diagnostic method is needed to early identify and then remove infected plants. A rapid, sensitive, and reliable diagnostic method based on Spot Real-Time Reverse Transcription-PCR Taqman assay has been developed for Ca. P. prunorum detection and relative quantification.
