摘要
A fraction enriched with mycoplasmalike organism (MLO) was prepared from midrib and petiole tissues of periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) plants affected by clover proliferation (CP). DNA isolated from the MLO-enriched extract was digested with both EcoRI and HindIII restriction endonucleases, ligated with plasmid pUC19, and cloned in E. coli DH5a. A recombinant plasmid containing 2.99 kb of CP MLO DNA segment was either radioactively or biotinylate labeled. The labeled cloned DNA probe hybridized with DNA isolated from CP MLO-infected periwinkle plants but not with DNA extracted from healthy periwinkle plants. At least 2 ng of total nucleic acids from periwinkle plants are needed to detect CP MLO with biotinylated DNA probe. Dot-blot hybridization detected CP MLO DNA 2 weeks in advance of symptom development and showed that CP MLO reached the highest concentration in the periwinkle plants 7 weeks after graft-transmission. The probe also cross- hybridized to nucleic acids from potato witches'-broom (PWB) MLO-infected periwinkle but did not cross-hybridize to nucleic acids from western aster yellows (AY-27) MLO-infected periwinkle or clover phyllody (CPD) MLO-infected clover.
