Abstract
Sugarcane white leaf (SCWL) phytoplasma was identified from sugarcane varieties in fields of Lincang and Baoshan, and imported sugarcane varieties from Myanmar, Philippines and Thailand in quarantine glasshouse at Yunnan Province, China. The associated phytoplasmas were characterized as strains of 16SrXI group by using MLOX/MLOY and P1/P2 primer pairs, 16Sr sequence identity and phylogenetic relationships.
