Has anyone yet been able to locate phytoplasma profiles in Myndus crudus tissues by electron microsocopy of thin sections?
In the conference book “Lethal Yellowing: Research and Practical aspects” edited by C.Oropeza, F.W.Howard and G.R.Ashburner (pages 88-89) it is stated that pathogen-specific PCR readily detected the Lethal Yellowing agent in 36 of 94 Myndus crudus planthoppers collected solely from the foliage of a non-bearing Atlantic Tall coconut palm, with mid-stage foliar yellowing symptoms.
