Abstract
Zinnia elegans plants showing symptoms of phyllody, virescence, witches’ broom, little leaf and yellowing were observed in Bandar Abbas, Hormozgan Province, Iran. Analysis showed that the phytoplasma shares a 99% sequence identity with “Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifolia” and is a strain related to this species. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of the occurrence of a 16SrII phytoplasma infecting Zinnia elegans flowers.
