| Abstract:
The susceptibility and sensitiveness of 12 Prunus species to European stone fruit yellows phytoplasma were studied under controlled conditions by using vector and graft transmission methods. The capability of the different species to host the vector was also considered. The results obtained showed that: P. armeniaca, P. cerasifera, P. domestica, P. persica, P. salicina and P. spinosa can be considered as common and natural hosts of ESFY phytoplasma; P. avium and P. mahaleb can be considered as not common natural hosts of ESFY phytoplasma; P. laurocerasus and P. padus can be considered as experimental hosts of ESFY phytoplasma; P. amygdalus and P. tomentosa can be considered as potential common and natural hosts. | |
