Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Affected C. palmata plants yellowed progressively and died within weeks.
- Observation Annual losses around Kalkini were estimated at 10% of the naturalized C. palmata population.
- Observation Symptomatic C. palmata samples were positive with universal phytoplasma PCR primers and negative with LY-specific primers.
- Observation Symptomless C. palmata plants produced no PCR products with these primers.
- Observation RFLP patterns did not differ among phytoplasma isolates from five C. palmata plants.
- Method / resource RFLP patterns differentiated the CPY phytoplasma from LY and other characterized phytoplasmas.
- Observation Phylogenetic analysis placed CPY and LY strains in the same phytoplasma subclade.
