Abstract:
      Jujube witches' broom (JWB) is a destructive disease caused by phytoplasma , that happened almost in every cultural regions at home and abroad , bringing large economic loss. The ribosomal protein (p) gene is cloned by polymerase chain reaction from the samples of JWB which were collected from Shaanxi, Ningxia and Gansu. After se-quenced, it is found that p gene is 1199 bp, which included partial rps19, rpl22 and rps3. rpl22 and rps3 coded 129 and 252 amino acids respectively, and these two genes are not overlapped . The homologic analysis shows that pathogens from Shaanxi, Ningxia and Gansu are same; and it is similar in character among JWB, cherry lethal yellows and peach yellows isolate PY-In phytoplasmas . This study reports rp sequences of JWB phytoplasmas for the first time and identi-fies that JWB phytoplasma belongs to 16S rV-B, which can provide theory basis for research of the functional sec system of JWB phytoplasma.
