Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays were used to detect phytoplasmas in Canary Island date (Phoenix canariensis) palms displaying symptoms similar to lethal yellowing (LY) disease in Corpus Christi, TX. An rDNA product (1.8 kb) was amplified consistently from 10 of 11 palms by PCR employing phytoplasma universal rRNA primer pair P1/P7. Also, AluI endonu-clease digests and sequencing of P1/P7 products revealed that nontarget Bacillus megaterium-related rDNA sequences of similar size were co… Expand
