Geographical and Temporal Diversity of '<i>Candidatus</i> Phytoplasma solani' in Wine-Growing Regions in Slovenia and Austria.

ABSTRACT: As the causal agent of the grapevine yellows disease Bois noir, 'Candidatus Phytoplasma solani' has a major economic impact on grapevines. To improve the control of Bois noir, it is critical to understand the very complex epidemiological cycles that involve the multiple "Ca. P. solani" host plants and insect vectors, of which Hyalesthes obsoletus is the most important. In the present study, multiple genotyping of the tuf, secY, stamp, and vmp1 genes was performed. This involved archived grapevine samples that were collected during an official survey of grapevine yellows throughout the wine-growing regions of Slovenia (from 2003 to 2016), plus samples from Austrian grapevines, stinging nettle, field bindweed, and insect samples (collected from 2012
