摘要
Plum plants (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh) with small and rolled leaves resembling symptoms of phytoplasma infection were observed during 2008 and 2009 in the ornamental garden of Northwest A&F University (Republic of China). Nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using a combination of phytoplasma-specific universal primer pairs (R16F2m/R16R1m-R16F2n/R16R2) amplified 16S rDNA with the expected size (1.2 kb) from all samples of symptomatic plum plants. Sequencing results and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the 1248 bp R16F2n/R16R2 products showed that the phytoplasma belongs to group 16SrV. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the phytoplasma had a close relation to JWB phytoplasma. This is, we believe, the first report of elm yellows phytoplasma infecting plum plants in China.
