摘要

Coconut lethal diseases such as Cape St. Paul wilt in Ghana, Awka disease in Nigeria and coconut lethal disease in Tanzania, Kenya and Mozambique have killed tens of millions of palms and caused severe economic hardship to poor people who depend directly on the coconut palm for their livelihood. These diseases are caused by phytoplasmas, non-culturable obligate pathogens that colonise the phloem sieve elements of the palm vascular bundles. Using the polymerase chain reaction the 16S rRNA genes and the 16S-23S spacer regions of phytoplasmas associated with these lethal coconut diseases in Africa were amplified. Following sequencing of the rDNA products two primers were designed which were specific for the diseases found in either east or west Africa.Neither of these primers, when paired with a universal primer, produced PCR amplification products from healthy coconut DNA, infected coconut DNA from the Caribbean or DNA from a variety of periwinkle-maintained phytoplasmas. Sequence analysis of the coconut 16S rDNA has shown that the phytoplasmas found in west Africa have greater than 99% similarity, while the similarity between the phytoplasmas of east and west Africa was 953%. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that these coconut phytoplasmas form a primary cluster within the phytoplasma clade and that the pathogen causing the diseases in west Africa formed a new sub-clade within this cluster.
