Abstract
Abstract Syndrome ‘basses richesses’ (SBR) disease in sugar beet caused by two phloem-limited pathogens, 'Candidatus Arsenophonus phytopathogenicus' and 'Candidatus Phytoplasma solani' is a fastspreading disease in Central Europe. The planthopper vector, Pentastiridius leporinus (Cixiidae), has recently expanded its host range to potato in Germany. However, the genetic diversity of 'Ca P. solani' in potato and possible association to SBR phytoplasma is unknown. In this study we charachte
