A new phytoplasma was identified in naturally infected blackberry plants exhibiting witches’ broom symptoms in Portugal. The 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that it is related to ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma rubi’ (16SrV-E ribosomal subgroup) and RFLP analysis revealed a unique profile following MseI endonuclease digestion of R16F2n/R2 amplicons that distinguished it from the strains belonging to previously established […]
