Abstract
In this study, phytoplasmas associated with coconut lethal yellowing disease in Mozambique were characterized. For phylogenetic analysis the 16S rRNA genes were sequenced. Apart from ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma palmicola’ 16SrXXII-A, phylogenetic analysis revealed the presence of a double infection of ‘Ca. P. palmicola’ and a ‘Ca. P. pini’-related phytoplasmas. The second strain potentially represents a novel ‘Candidatus species’ and is closely related to ‘Ca. P. pini’.
