Molecular Variability and Host Distribution of 'Candidatus Phytoplasma solani' Strains from Different Geographic Origins.

ABSTRACT: The knowledge of phytoplasma genetic variability is a tool to study their epidemiology and to implement an effective monitoring and management of their associated diseases. 'Candidatus Phytoplasma solani' is associated with "bois noir" disease in grapevines, and yellowing and decline symptoms in many plant species, causing serious damages during the epidemic outbreaks. The epidemiology of the diseases associated with this phytoplasma is complex and related to numerous factors, such as interactions of the host plant and insect vectors and spreading through infected plant propagation material. The genetic variability of 'Ca. P. solani' strains in different host species and in different geographic areas during the last two decades was studied by RFLP analyses coupled with sequencing on vmp1,
