'Candidatus Phytoplasma cirsii', a novel taxon from creeping thistle [Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop].

Researchers confirmed the presence of phytoplasma infection in creeping thistle and dahlia plants using standard PCR and RFLP analysis. Genetic analysis revealed that the detected phytoplasma strains belong to the new 16SrXI-E subgroup and represent a novel taxon proposed as 'Candidatus Phytoplasma cirsii'. These strains are unique in their host range and geographical distribution, only infecting dicotyledonous plants in Europe. The study concludes that these phytoplasma strains are a discrete and specific group different from their closest relatives.
