Abstract

A phytoplasma has been detected in a formerly undescribed white leaf disease of Dichanthium annulatum (Kleberg's bluestem) in India. By sequence and phylogenetic analyses of polymerase chain reaction-amplified rDNA sequences, the detected phytoplasma proved to be closely related to Bermuda grass white leaf agent ('Candidatus Phytoplasma cynodontis') which is a member of the 16SrXIV group. © 2009 Australasian Plant Pathology Society.
