First Report of Phytoplasma Infection in Olive Trees (Olea Europea L.)
In the Sarca valley (Trento, north Italy) the presence of olive trees (Olea Europea L.) with yellow symptoms in a few branches was observed. Some leaves showed diffuse chlorotic mottling affecting almost all the blade, while others showed mottling with green and yellow areas: leaf deformation was also sometimes present. Phytoplasmas were only detected in olive trees with yellow leaves by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and subsequent restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. The results obtained suggested a high similarity between this phytoplasma and the elm yellows phytoplasma. This is the first time that a phytoplasma has been reported in the genus Ole
Occurrence of Phytoplasma Infection in European Plums (Prunus domestica)
Phytoplasmas were constantly detected by the DAPI technique and by PCR amplification of DNA from European plums (Prunus domestica) cv ‘Susina di Dro’ with symptoms similar to those reported for Japanese plum leptonecrosis. These symptoms included upward rolling of the leaves, which also became bronzed-reddish, thick and brittle, growth of normally dormant axillary buds, off-scason growth during November January and phloem necrosis. Trees with symptoms showed progressive decline. RFLP analysis, revealed that the phytoplasma isolated from the affected plum trees is closely related to the other phytoplasmas present in Prunus species in Europe and can be included in the apple proliferation cluster. Although Japanese plum leptonecrosis is common in Europe. this is the first report of a wide-spread phytoplasma-induced decline in a cultivar of European plu
