Abstract
A disease of eggplant (Solanum melongena) associated with a mycoplasma‐like organism (MLO) was found in the Federal District, Brazil. Symptoms were characterized by teratological changes in the flowering structure, reduction and malformation of leaves, proliferation of lateral buds, and an overall plant stunting. Evidence for the association between MLO infection and disease symptoms was obtained through graft‐transmission experiments and electron microscopy. This is the first record of an eggplant disease associated with MLOs in Brazil.
