Abstract
Abstract An attempt was made to characterize the Phytoplasma in suspected cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) samples showing symptoms consisting of bud proliferation and stunting at Experimental Farm, ICAR-NBPGR, New Delhi during Kharif 2020. Associated phytoplasma was characterized based on sequence analysis of target 16S rDNA fragments of 1247 bp amplified from symptomatic samples of cowpea by nested-polymerase chain reaction assay using universal phytoplasma specific primers pairs (P1/P7 a
