Nucleic acid extracted from midribs of samples collected from three jujube varieties （＂Suanzao＂, ＂Lajiaozao＂ and ＂Langzao＂） from symptomatic and asymptomatic shoots were tested by random amplified polymorphic DNA analyses. Using 13 different 10 and 11-bp random primers the amplification of jujube DNA was achieved from all the samples; AMI4 primer provided amplification of specific DNA fragments of about 400 bp, only from samples collected from symptomatic plants. No genetic variations in these varieties were identified using the other 11 arbitrary primers; only with primer AL07 it was possible to differentiate ＂Langzao＂ from the other two varieties tested. All the experiments were repeated 2 times and the results were consistent. Compared with PCR analyses with phytoplasma-specific primers, RAPD techniques resulted to be an alternative rapid and sensitive method for detecting jujube phytoplasmas presence in different jujube varieties.展开更多

The distribution and year_round concentration variation of JWB phytoplasma were studied under fluorescence microscope using DAPI. The results showed that phytoplasma might exist in the sieve tubes of all organs, phytoplasma contents varied with organs, sides of organs and growing seasons, phytoplasma usually existed in the roots of the same direction with diseased branches. The uneven_distribution could be observed much often in lightly diseased trees than in seriously diseased one. In roots, the content of phytoplasma was highest in May, relatively low in June, July and August, and lowest in December to March. In branches, the content of phytoplasma increased gradually with the rising of the temperature after bud sprouting in April and May, then increased dramatically and reached peak in July and August, thereafter decreased in autumn. From December to February, there was still a large amount of phytoplasma in diseased branches. The content of phytoplasma in branches kept higher than in roots throughout a year.展开更多
