摘要

Stolbur group phytoplasmas were detected in symptomatic hibiscus plants from Brazil showing witches' broom symptoms while in other symptomatic samples of the same locations Candidatus Phytoplasma brasiliense' was identified. This finding confirms that diverse phytoplasmas can be associated with this disease in hibiscus. This is the first report of identification of a 16SrXII phytoplasma in this genus worldwide.
