First report of a phytoplasma associated with Spondias purpurea (Jocote de Corona) in El Salvador

Abstract: A new disease of the fruit tree Jocote de Corona (Spondias purpurea L.) was observed in El Salvador, Central America. The symptoms included small chlorotic leaves, highly proliferating shoots, and shortened internodes. Absence of sweet pulp in fruits made them inedible, causing considerable yield losses for farmers. The disease etiology was investigated using polymerase chain reaction with phytoplasma-specific primers, sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis. We obtained no amplification products from symptomles… Show more

“…A nivel mundial, más de 900 millones de ha de tierras arables están afectadas por sales (Meena et al 2019, Bello et al 2021) y reducen la productividad al 8% (Meena et al 2019), en 2019 existían 265.09 millones de hectáreas irrigadas (FAO 2021) y cerca del 10% de esa superficie está saturada de sal; en las regiones áridas y semiáridas es cercano al 25%, lo que impacta en la seguridad alimentaria (FAO 2002), ya que la salinidad es el factor abiótico principal que afecta a los cultivos (Parada et al 2006), incrementa la conductividad eléctrica, empobrece la estructura del suelo, baja densidad aparente y el potencial hídrico (El hasini et al 2020, Mukhopadhyay et al 2021, reduce la absorción de Nitrógeno, Fósforo y Potasio (Ibrahim, Osman y Mohamed 2019). El azufre elemental (S • ) ha sido utilizado para disminuir el pH (Miyamoto 2020), recuperar y mejorar suelos salinos y alcalinos con problemas de estructura, aireación y permeabilidad.…”
