| Abstract:
Phytoplasmas were detected in apricots (Prunus armeniaca), peaches (Prunus persica), plums (Prunus domestica), plum hybrid (Prunus salicina x cerasifera), sweet cherries (Cerasus avium), sour cherries (Cerasus vulgaris), almond hybrid (Prunus amygdalus x persica) and Prunus cerasifera. A predominant phytoplasma associated with diseases of apricots, peaches and plums was identified as European stone fruit phytoplasma (= apricot chlorotic leaf roll phytoplasma). Sweet cherries and sour cherries were affected mainly by aster yellows (AY) phytoplasma. Furthermore, the obtained results can also provide the evidence of the presence of apple proliferation phytoplasma and pear decline phytoplasma (= peach yellow leaf roll phytoplasma) in inspected orchards within the Czech Republic. | |
