Title: Witches'Broom of <i>Sarothamnus scoparius</i>: A New Disease Associated with a Phytoplasma Related to the Spartium Witches'Broom Agent
Abstract: Abstract In southern and central Italy, a witches’broom and decline disease of Sarothamnus scoparius has been observed. In affected plants, phytoplasmas were detected by PCR amplification of ribosomal DNA. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of PCR‐amplified DNA revealed that the diseased plants were infected by a phytoplasma that is closely related to the spartium witches’broom phytoplasma, a member of the apple proliferation group.
