“…For example, Tagetes patula , Gomphocarpus physocarpus , Tanacetum partenium , Rudbeckia hirta , Cereopsis lanceolate , Gaillardia, and China aster have been identified to be the hosts of the16SrI phytoplasma group [ 175 ]. Five host plant species were identified to be associated with 16SrVI, including Juniperus procumbens , Salix babylonica , Salix alba , Cota tinctoria , and Celosia argenta [ 176 , 177 , 178 ]. Other host plants, like Chrysanthemum morifolium , Robinia pseudoacacia , and Salix alba , are associated with 16SrIX [ 179 ].…”

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.
