Resumen
En Sudamérica se han detectado y caracterizado fitoplasmas de diferentes grupos 16Sr. Entre éstos, se detectaron fitoplasmas del grupo 16Sr VII (ash yellows) infec- tando diferentes especies de plantas herbáceas. En Brasil, se reportaron los aislamientos EriWB y RPWB infectando Erigeron sp. y Catharanthus roseus, los que fueron asignados al nuevo subgrupo 16Sr VII-B. En la Argentina, el subgrupo 16Sr VII-C fue creado para incluir al fitoplasma ArAWB que infecta alfalfa (Medicago sativa). Nuevos aislamientos de fitoplasmas del grupo 16Sr VII se han detectado en Artemisia annua y Conyza bonariensis en la Argentina, mostrando típicos síntomas de "escoba de bruja". El objetivo de este trabajo fue caracterizar molecularmente a estos aislamientos para clasificarlos y asociarlos a los fitoplasmas más relacionados. Se analizaron patrones de restricción (PCR-RFLP) del gen 16S de ARNr y se obtuvieron secuencias de tres aislamientos para realizar un análisis cladístico y poder determinar la similitud con otros fitoplasmas. Idénticos patrones de PCR-RFLP, la alta similitud de secuencias (99,9%) y el agrupamiento cladístico resultante asociaron a estos fitoplasmas presentes en malezas en Argentina (ArtWB), al subgrupo 16Sr VII-B. Estos aislamientos representan aislamientos geográficos del fitoplasma EriWB. Este trabajo revela la amplia distribución geográfica de los fitoplasmas del subgrupo 16Sr VII-B y su capacidad de infectar diferentes hospedantes
In South America, plants infecting phytoplasmas from different 16Sr groups have been detected and characterized. Among them, 16Sr VII (ash yellows) phytoplasmas have been detected in herbaceous plants. In Brazil, EriWB and RPWB isolates infecting Erigeron sp. and Catharanthus roseus have been assigned to a new 16Sr VII-B subgroup. In Argentina, 16Sr VII subgroup C was created to enclose the ArAWB phytoplasma which infects alfalfa (Medicago sativa) plants. Recently, new isolates from the 16Sr VII group phytoplasmas have been detected in Artemisia annua and Conyza bonariensis showing typical witches' broom symptoms. The aim of this work was to perform a molecular characterization of these isolates in order to classify them and associate them to their closest relatives. A restriction analysis on PCR fragments (PCR-RFLP) from the 16S rRNA gene was performed. Sequences of three isolates were obtained to perform a cladistic analysis and to reveal their similarity to other phytoplasmas. Identical PCR-RFLP patterns, high sequence similarity (99.9%) and the cladistic grouping associated the new phytoplasma isolates infecting weeds in Argentina with the 16Sr VII-B subgroup. ArtWB strains represent geographic isolates of the EriWB phytoplasma. This work reveals the wide distribution of 16Sr VII-B phytoplasmas and their capability to infect different host plants.
