Abstract:Phytoplasmas are a group of plant prokaryotic pathogens distributed worldwide. To comprehensively reveal the diversity of the pathogens and the diseases they cause on Hainan, a tropical island with abundant biodiversity in China, a survey of phytoplasmal diseases was performed from 2009 to 2022. Herein, molecular identification and genetic analysis were conducted based on the conserved genes of phytoplasmas. The results indicated that phytoplasmas could be detected in 138 samples from 18 host plants among 215 … Show more
