Abstract
Huanglongbing (HLB) is a citrus infectious disease caused by ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’ spp. Recently, it has begun to spread rapidly worldwide, causing significant losses to the citrus industry. Early diagnosis of HLB relies on quantitative real-time PCR assays. However, the PCR inhibitors found in the nucleic acid extracted from plant materials pose challenges for PCR assays because they may result in false-negative results. Internal standard (IS) can be introduced to establish a single-tube d

Molecular Identification of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma malaysianum’-Related Strains Associated with Areca catechu Palm Yellow Leaf Disease and Phylogenetic Diversity of the Phytoplasmas Within the 16SrXXXII Group

Abstract
Areca catechu palm is an important cash plant in Hainan Island of China and also in the tropical regions of the world. A. catechu palm yellow leaf (AcYL) disease caused by phytoplasmas is a devastating disease for plant production. In the study, the phytoplasmas associated with the AcYL disease were identified and characterized based on their conserved genes, and genetic variation and phylogenetic relationship of the phytoplasma strains in the 16SrXXXII group were demonstrated. The results indi
