Detection of mycoplasmalike organisms in declining oaks by polymerase chain reaction

摘要

AbstractBy polymerase chain reaction, mycoplasmalike organisms (MLOs) were detected in several declining trees ofQuercus robursampled at two locations of Germany. The MLOs associated with declining oaks were, within the 16S rDNA studied, genetically uniform and closely related to the MLOs associated with European stone fruit yellows and apple proliferation.
