Stunting and flower buds deficiency of Lilium sp.: a new phytoplasma associated disease

Acta Physiologiae Plantarum Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The presence of phytoplasmas in Lilium sp. showing severely stunted growth, leaf malformation and flower buds deficiency was demonstrated for the first time using polymerase chain reaction assays with primers amplifying phytoplasma 16S rDNA regions. These phytoplasmas were found in leaves as well as roots and bulb scales of symptomatic and CMV and/or LSV affected and asymptomatic virus-free lilies.
