Development of a Specific Nested PCR Assay for the Detection of 16SrI Group Phytoplasmas Associated with Sisal Purple Leafroll Disease in Sisal Plants and Mealybugs

Sisal purple leafroll disease (SPLD) is currently the most destructive disease affecting sisal in China, yet its aetiology remains unclear. In our previous research, it was verified to be associated with phytoplasmas, and nested PCR based on the 16S rRNA gene using universal primers R16mF2/R16mR1 fo...
