Abstract
Little leaf and yellowing symptoms associated with phytoplasma disease were observed in Pyracantha angustifolia in Turkey. Amplification (through nested PCR) and virtual restriction fragment length polymorphism (V-RFLP) confirmed the presence of phytoplasma in the symptomatic plants the phylogeny based on the R16F2n/R2 sequences of the P. angustifolia phytoplasma was established and the sequence analysis showed that the isolate had 98.7% similarity to ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma australasia’, a member of the 16SrII-D subgroup. This is the first world report of a phytoplasma in P. angustifolia and its first identification in the Republic of Türkiye.
