“…Phytoplasmas are known to cause considerable losses in ornamentals including Celosia argentea (cockscomb) (Tanne et al., 2000), Tagetes patula and T. erecta (tagetes) (Kaminska et al., 1996; Loi et al., 1998; Wang and Hiruki, 2001), Asclepias curassavica (milkweed) (Griffiths et al., 1994), Gomphocarpus physocarpus (swan plant) (d'Aquilio et al., 2002), Limonium sinuatum (statice) (Kaminska et al., 1999; Shiomi et al., 1999) and Tanacetum partenium (Tanacetum) (Barros et al., 1998; Wang and Hiruki, 2001). However, little is known about phytoplasma diseases of ornamental plants in Iran.…”

During field surveys in 2004, ornamental and weed plants showing symptoms resembling those caused by phytoplasmas were observed in Mahallat (central Iran). These plants were examined for phytoplasma infections by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays using universal phytoplasma primers directed to ribosomal DNA (rDNA). All affected plants gave positive results. The detected phytoplasmas were characterized and differentiated through restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequence analysis of PCR-amplified rDNA. The phytoplasmas detected in diseased Asclepias curassavica and Celosia argentea were identified as members of clover proliferation phytoplasma group (16SrVI group) whereas those from the remaining plants examined proved to be members of aster yellow phytoplasma group (16SrI group) (ÔCandidatus Phytoplasma asterisÕ). In particular, following digestion with AluI, HaeIII and HhaI endonucleases, the phytoplasma detected in Limonium sinuatum showed restriction profiles identical to subgroup 16SrI-C; phytoplasmas from Gomphocarpus physocarpus, Tanatacetum partenium, Lactuca serriola, Tagetes patula and Coreopsis lanceolata had the same restriction profiles as subgroup 16SrI-B whereas Catharanthus roseus-and Rudbeckia hirta-infecting phytoplasmas showed restriction patterns of subgroup 16SrI-A. This is the first report on the occurrence of phytoplasma diseases of ornamental plants in Iran.

“…These symptoms include virescence, phyllody, proliferation of auxiliary shoots resulting in witches' broom, sterility of fl owers, compact growth at the end of stems, yellowing, phloem necrosis, and dieback of branches in woody plants (Mc Coy et al 1989 ;Bertaccini 2007 ). Phytoplasmas are known to cause considerable losses in ornamentals including Asclepias curassavica (Griffi ths et al 1994 ), Tanacetum parthenium (Barros et al 1998 ), Limonium sinuatum (Kaminska et al 1999 ;Shiomi et al 1999 ), Tagetes patula and T. erecta (Wang and Hiruki 2001 ), and Gomphocarpus physocarpus (d'Aquillo et al 2002 ).…”

“…A review of the literature revealed that phytoplasma infections are known from only a few species within the Plumbaginaceae: L. sinuatum in Korea (Hahm et al, 1998), Japan (Shiomi et al, 1999), Poland (Kaminska et al, 1999), and Lithuana (Valiunas et al, 2001), and Goniolimon tataricum (syns. Limonium tataricum) in Canada (Chang et al, 1996).…”

Yellows diseases in ornamental crops have become more common in Israel, and phytoplasmas have been detected in several crops. Recently, symptoms typical of a phytoplasma infection were observed on a large number of Limonium hybrids grown in commercial fields in Israel. Examination of samples from diseased plants by electron microscopy revealed the presence of pleiomorphic membrane-bound bodies in the phloem cells. Diseased plants were additionally analyzed by PCR using universal and nested primers and revealed upon sequencing products of 1143, 788 and 722 bp (Li-IL, Li-b2-IL, Li-v3-IL, respectively). Analysis of the PCR products, associated with infected Limonium, clustered within two major groups of phytoplasmas (16SrV and 16SrIX), elm yellows and almond witches broom. This is the first published record of these phytoplasmas in Israel.
