A Sida sp. Is a New Host for "Candidatus Phytoplasma brasiliense" in Brazil

Sida is a genus of flowering herbs in the family Malvaceae, which includes several species that are weeds in Brazil. Plants of a Sida sp. exhibiting symptoms characterized by stunting, chlorosis, small leaves, and witches'-broom, indicative of infection by phytoplasmas, were found in a field pr...

520 |a Sida is a genus of flowering herbs in the family Malvaceae, which includes several species that are weeds in Brazil. Plants of a Sida sp. exhibiting symptoms characterized by stunting, chlorosis, small leaves, and witches'-broom, indicative of infection by phytoplasmas, were found in a field previously cultivated with tomato, located in the region of Campinas, State of São Paulo, in December 2008. To demonstrate the presence of phytoplasmas in diseased tissues, DNA was extracted from shoots and leaves from three symptomatic and eight asymptomatic plants. Nested PCR was performed using primers P1/Tint followed by primer pair R16F2n/R16R2 (1). DNA fragments of 1.2 kb, corresponding to 16S rDNA, were amplified only for DNA from two symptomatic samples. Phytoplasma identification was initially carried out by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis through digesting the PCR products with the restriction enzymes AluI, HhaI, HaeIII, HpaII, MseI, and RsaI. The two phytoplasma isolates found to be infecting a Sida sp. showed identical RFLP patterns, which were indistinguishable from the phytoplasma previously reported in association with hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) witches'-broom in Brazil (2). Nucleotide sequence alignment revealed that 16S rDNA of both phytoplasma isolates found in a Sida sp. (GenBank Accession No. HQ230579) shared 99.9% sequence similarity with 16S rDNA from hibiscus witches'-broom phytoplasma (HibWB) (GenBank Accession No. AF147708). HibWB is the representative of the 16SrXV group and it was proposed as a putative species nominated "Candidatus Phytoplasma brasiliense" (2). The disease is frequently observed in hibiscus plants used as ornamentals in the states of São Paulo (4) and Rio de Janeiro (2). "Ca. Phytoplasma brasiliense" has only been reported in Brazil to be infecting hibiscus (2,4) and periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) (3). The presence of a phytoplasma belonging to group 16SrXV in a Sida sp. expands its natural host range. The role of this weed as a potential source of inoculum for crops should be investigated.
