Abstract
Phytoplasmas were detected by nested and real time PCR from wilted cooking banana plants in Solomon Islands close to the border with Papua New Guinea (PNG). These phytoplasmas and two similar phytoplasmas found adjacent in PNG formed a group from the Solomon Island archipelago indistinguishable from each other by sequence analysis. These and similar phytoplasmas from the island of New Guinea were most closely related to phytoplasmas in the16SrXXII-A group.
