“…Several phytoplasma groups threaten Prunus production. The strains of the 16SrI-B, 16SrII (subgroup II-B, II-C), 16SrVI (subgroup VI-A and VI-D), 16SrIX (IX-B, IX-C, IX-D), 16SrX-F, and 16SrXII-A are the major phytoplasma groups causing economic losses in Prunus species in the Middle East [ 66 , 67 , 68 ].…”

“…It has been found that all stone fruit trees were only associated with 16SrIX-B in Lebanon and Iran, although phytoplasmas belonging to the 16SrIX-C group are also known to be associated with wild plant species in Lebanon [ 74 ]. Abbasi, Hasanzadeh, Zamharir and Tohidfar [ 66 ] revealed that, in Iran, sweet orange can be infected by the 16SrIX-B phytoplasma. In addition, further studies revealed that the natural hosts of this strain in Iran include peach, apricot, nectarine, wild almond, Smalix aspera , and Anthemis spp.…”

“…Other citrus species, like grapefruit, citron, limequat, Citrus macrophylla , C. limonia , C. jambhiri , and, especially, Bakraee, have been reported as hosts of the WBDL phytoplasma in Iran [ 66 , 115 , 116 ]. In Oman and the UAE, WBDL also infects Palestine sweet lime, citron, Citrus macrophylla , and sweet limetta [ 117 ].…”

Phytoplasmas that are associated with fruit crops, vegetables, cereal and oilseed crops, trees, ornamental, and weeds are increasing at an alarming rate in the Middle East. Up to now, fourteen 16Sr groups of phytoplasma have been identified in association with more than 164 plant species in this region. Peanut witches’ broom phytoplasma strains (16SrII) are the prevalent group, especially in the south of Iran and Gulf states, and have been found to be associated with 81 host plant species. In addition, phytoplasmas belonging to the 16SrVI, 16SrIX, and 16SrXII groups have been frequently reported from a wide range of crops. On the other hand, phytoplasmas belonging to 16SrIV, 16SrV, 16SrX, 16SrXI, 16SrXIV, and 16SrXXIX groups have limited geographical distribution and host range. Twenty-two insect vectors have been reported as putative phytoplasma vectors in the Middle East, of which Orosius albicinctus can transmit diverse phytoplasma strains. Almond witches’ broom, tomato big bud, lime witches’ broom, and alfalfa witches’ broom are known as the most destructive diseases. The review summarizes phytoplasma diseases in the Middle East, with specific emphasis on the occurrence, host range, and transmission of the most common phytoplasma groups.
