Detection and identification of phytoplasma DNA in symptomatic mushrooms of the genusRamaria(O. Gomphales)

[摘要] Using polymerase chain reaction assays with specific primers for amplifying phytoplasma 16S rDNA, the presence of phytoplasmas inRamariabasidiomes with abnormal development has been detected for the first time in fungi. Phytoplasmas have not been detected in asymptomatic basidiomes. Sequence analyses based on parsimony and maximum likelihood place the phytoplasma in the Stolbur group.
