Detection and Identification of an Elm Yellows Group Phytoplasma Associated with Camellia in China

In 2012, yellowing of camellias was observed in Tai'an in Shandong province, China. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed phytoplasma in the phloem sieve tube elements of symptomatic plants. A specific fragment of phytoplasma 16S rRNA gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using the universal phytoplasma primers P1/P7 followed by R16F2n/R16R2. Sequence and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analyses allowed us to classify the detected phytoplasma into the elm yellows (EY) group (16SrV), subgroup 16SrV‐B. Sequence analyses of the ribosomal protein (rp) gene confirmed a close relationship with phytoplasmas belonging to the rpV‐C subgroup. Thus, the phytoplasma associated with yellows disease in camellia, designated as ‘CY’, is a member of the 16SrV‐B subgroup. This is the first report of phytoplasma associated with camellia.

Detection and Identification of Group 16SrVI Phytoplasma in Willows in China

In 2010 and 2011, willow proliferation disease was observed in Erdos, Inner Mongolia, China. The phytoplasma‐specific 16S rRNA gene fragment of 1.2 kb was amplified by a nested PCR with universal primer pair P1/P7 followed by R16F2n/R2. Phylogenetic and virtual RFLP analyses revealed that the phytoplasma associated with willow proliferation was a member of subgroup 16SrVI‐A. The field survey indicated that the incidence of willow proliferation in Erdos was approximately 36.84%. To our knowledge, this is the first record of group 16SrVI phytoplasma infecting willow in China.     

Molecular Characterization of Aster Yellows Phytoplasma Associated with Valerian and Sowthistle Plants by PCR–RFLP Analyses

In Alberta, Canada, valerian grown for medicinal purposes and sowthistle, a common weed, showed typical aster yellows symptoms. Molecular diagnosis was made using a universal primer pair (P1 / P7) designed to amplify the entire 16S rRNA gene and the 16 / 23S intergenic spacer region in a direct polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. This primer pair amplified the DNA samples from valerian and sowthistle and reference controls (AY‐27, CP, PWB, AY of canola, LWB). They produced the expected PCR products of 1.8 kb, which were diluted and used as templates in a nested PCR. Two primer pairs R16F2n / R2 and P3 / P7 amplified the DNA templates giving PCR products of 1.2 and 0.32 kb, respectively. No PCR product was obtained with either set of primers and DNA isolated from healthy plants. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was used to analyse the partial 16S rDNA sequences (1.2 kb) of all phytoplasma DNA samples after restriction with four endonucleases (AluI, HhaI, MseI and RsaI). The restriction patterns of these strains were found to be identical with the RFLP pattern of the AY phytoplasma reference control (AY‐27 strain). Based on the RFLP data, the two strains are members of subgroup A of the AY 16Sr1 group. We report here the first molecular study on the association of AY phytoplasmas with valerian and sowthistle plants.     

Molecular characterization of ‘Clover proliferation’ phytoplasma subgroup-D (16SrVI-D) associated with vegetables crops in India

Nine vegetable plants species exhibiting phytoplasma suspected symptoms of white/purple leaf, little leaf, flat stem, witches’ broom, phyllody and leaf yellowing were observed in experimental fields at Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi from December 2015 to July 2016. Total DNA extracted from the three healthy and three symptomatic leaves of all the nine vegetables were subjected to PCR assays using phytoplasma specific primers P1/P7 followed by R16F2n/R16R2 and 3Far/3Rev to amplify the 16S rDNA fragments. No amplifications of DNA were observed in first round PCR assays with primer pair P1/P7 from any of the symptomatic samples. However, phytoplasma DNA specific fragments of ~ 1.3 kb were amplified from Apium graveolens L. (two isolates), Brassica oleracea vr. capitata L. (one isolate) and Solanum melongena L. (one isolate) by using 3Far/3Rev primer pair and 1.2 kb fragment was amplified from Lactuca sativa L. (one isolate) by using R16F2n/R16R2 primer pair. No DNA amplification was seen in other symptomatic vegetable samples of tomato, carrot, cucurbit, bitter gourd and Amaranthus species utilizing either P1/P7 primer pair followed by 3Far/3Rev or R16F2n/R16R2 primer pairs. Out of three leafhopper species collected from the symptomatic vegetable fields, only Hishimonus phycitis was found positive for association of phytoplasma. No DNA amplifications were observed in healthy plant samples and insects collected from non-symptomatic fields. Comparative sequence comparison analyses of 16S rDNA of positive found vegetable phytoplasma strains revealed 100% sequence identities among each other and with phytoplasma strains of ‘clover proliferation’ (16SrVI) group. Phytoplasma sequences, virtual RFLPs and phylogenetic analyses of 16S rDNA sequence comparison confirmed the identification of 16SrVI subgroup D strain of phytoplasmas in four vegetables and one leafhopper (HP) species. Further virtual RFLP analysis of 16S rDNA sequence of the vegetables phytoplasma strains confirmed their taxonomic classification with strains of ‘clover proliferation’ subgroup D. Since, H. phycitis feeding on symptomatic vegetable species in the study was also tested positive for the 16SrVI phytoplasma subgroup-D as of vegetables; it may act as potent natural reservoir of 16SrVI-D subgroup of phytoplasmas infecting vegetable and other important agricultural crops.     

Molecular and microscopical detection of aster yellows phytoplasma associated with infected parsnip

Typical phytoplasma yellows symptoms were observed in parsnip (Pastinaca sativa L.) plants grown around Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Examination of ultrathin sections of leaf midribs by electron microscopy revealed numerous phytoplasma bodies localized in the phloem cells. DNA extracted from the infected leaves was amplified with a 16S rDNA universal primer pair P1/P6 giving the expected PCR product of 1.5 kb. The phytoplasma was confirmed as a member of the aster yellows (AY) group by amplification with the specific primer pair R16(1)/F1/R1 that was designed on the basis of AY phytoplasma 16S rDNA sequences. In the nested PCR assays, the expected DNA fragment of 1.1 kb was amplified with this specific primer set. Similar restriction patterns were found for the 1.1 kb PCR products of the phytoplasma isolated from parsnip and an AY phytoplasma control after digestion with restriction endonucleases AluI, HhaI, KpnI and RsaI. This is the first reported observation of aster yellows in parsnip in Canada.     

Aster Yellows Subgroup 16SrI‐C Phytoplasma in Rhododendron hybridum

Symptoms of unknown aetiology on Rhododendron hybridum cv. Cunningham's White were observed in the Czech Republic in 2010. The infected plant had malformed leaves, with irregular shaped edges, mosaic, leaf tip necrosis and multiple axillary shoots with smaller leaves. Transmission electron microscopy showed phytoplasma‐like bodies in phloem cells of the symptomatic plant. Phytoplasma presence was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction using phytoplasma‐specific, universal and group‐specific primer pairs. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of 16S rDNA enabled classification of the detected phytoplasma into the aster yellows subgroup I‐C. Sequence analysis of the 16S‐23S ribosomal operon of the amplified phytoplasma genome from the infected rhododendron plant (1724 bp) confirmed the closest relationship with the Czech Echinacea purpurea phyllody phytoplasma. These data suggest Rhododendron hybridum is a new host for the aster yellows phytoplasma subgroup 16SrI‐C in the Czech Republic and worldwide.     

Characterisation and phylogeny of a phytoplasma inducing sandal spike disease in sandal (Santalum album)

Sandal (Santalum album) is an industrially important forest species in India, where it is devastated by sandal spike (SAS) disease. Diseased S. album trees show characteristic witches’ broom symptoms suspected to be caused by phytoplasma. Since the first report of occurrence of this disease at the end of 19th century, studies mainly have been carried out to detect SAS phytoplasma through various approaches. The causative agent, however, has remained poorly characterised at a molecular level. The present investigation was aimed to characterise the pathogen at this level. In nested PCR, a 1.4‐kb 16S rDNA fragment was amplified and analysed by restriction fragment length polymorphism using 17 restriction enzymes. The patterns were identical to those of strains AY1 and APh of the aster yellows subgroup 16SrI‐B, except for BfaI, which gave a different pattern. After cloning and sequencing, a phylogenetic analysis revealed the closest relationship to aster yellows subgroup 16SrI‐B members. Nucleotide sequence identity ranged from 99.2% to 99.5% with this subgroup. On the basis of these results, the SAS phytoplasma was classified as a member of subgroup 16SrI‐B.

Multilocus genotyping of a ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifolia’‐related strain associated with cauliflower phyllody disease in China

A new cauliflower disease characterised by the formation of leaf‐like inflorescences and malformed flowers occurred in a seed production field located in Yunnan, a southwest province of China. Detection of phytoplasma‐characteristic 16S rRNA gene sequences in DNA samples from diseased plants linked the cauliflower disease to phytoplasmal infection. Results from phylogenetic and virtual restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the cauliflower‐infecting agent is a ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifolia’‐related strain and is a new member of the peanut witches'‐broom phytoplasma group, subgroup A (16SrII‐A). Multilocus genotyping showed close genetic relationship between this cauliflower phytoplasma and a broad host range phytoplasma lineage found only in East Asia thus far. Molecular markers present in the secY and rp loci distinguished this phytoplasma from other members of the subgroup 16SrII‐A.
