Abstract
Rose is severely affected by phytoplasma diseases, causing significant loss in flower quality. A valid control strategy is not yet available for managing phytoplasma diseases in roses. The present study aimed to obtain phytoplasma-free rose plants using antibiotics. In this study, phytoplasma-associated rose cultivar ‘Dr. M. S. Randhawa’ exhibiting phyllody and flower malformation symptoms was used to study the effect of three antibiotics namely, oxytetracycline, streptomycin and erythromycin A
