Abstract
Abstract Mycoplasma sp., isolated from sandalwood (Santalum album L.) with spike disease, infected Stachytarpheta jamaicensis and sandalwood test plants causing abnormal leaf development. Six month old sandalwood seedlings died after a single inoculation but S. jamaicensis, inoculated first at the 2 leaf stage, reverted to normal after 5–6 months if inoculations were not repeated until the plants died. This reversion is attributed to inhibition of multiplication of the Mycoplasma sp. in S. jamaicensis due to host specificity. Toxins extracted from spiked sandalwood and inoculated in the two test species did not produce any symptom or leaf abnormality.
