“…Phytoplasmas are cell wall‐free bacteria in the class Mollicutes , restricted to the phloem sieve tubes, transmitted by leafhoppers, planthoppers or psyllids and frequently reported as infecting several plant species worldwide (Bertaccini & Duduk, 2009). Amongst other problems caused, phytoplasma infections in aromatic plants lead to poor plant growth and decreased quality of products (Rao et al, 2018). This work aimed to identify the phytoplasmas associated with a Daphne mucronata phyllody disease detected during surveys performed in western provinces of Iran.…”

During surveys from 2017 to 2018, a phyllody disease was observed in Daphne mucronata plants located in Lordegan and Ahmadliveh areas in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province (west of Iran). The main symptoms were yellowing, little leaf, phyllody and flower sterility. Total DNA was extracted from midrib tissue of fresh leaves from 30 symptomatic and five asymptomatic plants. DNA samples were subjected to nested PCR, using primer pairs P1/P7 and R16F2n/R16R2. PCR amplicons of 1.8 and 1.25 kb, respectively, were obtained from all samples from symptomatic plants whilst no amplification was observed in samples from asymptomatic plants. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of R16F2n/R16R2 amplicons using MseI,
