摘要
In March 2011, witches%26apos; brooms comprising many small shoots were observed on desert rose plants. Adenium obesum, in PyinOoLwin, Myanmar. The causal agent of the symptomatic leaves was diagnosed as a phytoplasma by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. Sequence analysis of the PCR product (1.8 kbp) showed the closest phylogenic relationships with members of the peanut witches%26apos; broom phytoplasma group. Additionally, phylogenetic analyses revealed the phytoplasma is a member of %26apos;Candidams Phytoplasma aurantifolia%26apos;. This is the first report of desert rose plant as a new host for %26apos;Ca. P. aurantifolia%26apos;.
