2014-09-01
Abstract excerpt
Phytoplasma‐like symptoms were detected in date palm trees (Phoenix dactylifera L.) in Al‐Giza Governorate in Egypt. Symptoms varied from leaf chlorotic streaks, stunting and marked reduction in fruit and stalk sizes. Direct and nested PCR of symptomatic samples using P1/P7 and R16F2n/R16R2n primers, respectively, of the 16S rRNA gene, resulted in a DNA amplification product of c. 1.3 kbp. Symptomless samples coll...
