This study is the first report on the presence and molecular characterization of phytoplasmas in Kosovar vineyards, with the phytoplasmas belonging to the 16SrXII group and showing similarity to 'Candidatus Phytoplasma solani'. It is recommended that testing for phytoplasma be included in the certification program for grapevine in Kosovo.
A search for phytoplasma-associated diseases was conducted for the first time in the main grapevine-growing localities of the Dukagjini plain in Kosovo. A total of 144 samples were collected from grapevine cultivars displaying leaf yellowing, reddening, discolouration and irregular wood ripening, and analysed using nested and quantitative PCR assays. These assays showed that 35.4% of samples belonging to eight cultivars were positive to the presence of phytoplasmas in the 16SrXII group. The 16S rDNA phytoplasma sequences obtained from 15 samples shared identity greater than 99.5% with 'Candidatus Phytoplasma solani'. Sequence analysis of the tuf gene showed that the strains found in Kosovar grapevines are in the tuf-type b1 group, sharing 99.6% to 99.8% identity with 'Ca. P. solani'-related strains associated with the bois noir grapevine disease in many European countries; the secY gene sequences, on the other hand, shared 100% identity with 'Ca. P. solani' strains from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia and Turkey. This study constitutes the first report on the presence and molecular characterization of phytoplasmas in Kosovar vineyards. Based on these results, it is recommended that testing for phytoplasma be included in the certification program for grapevine in Kosovo.
