Abstracts |
The tolerance increase to the disease caused by 'Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum' in Japanese plum (Prunus salicina) after mycorrhizal inoculation has been evaluated. Results showed that after one-year growth, non-mycorrhizal European stone fruit yellows-inoculated plants, were negatively affected by the disease infection. In non-mycorrhizal and phytoplasma inoculated plants the percentage of premature death was 30%, whereas all the mycorrhizal plants inoculated with 'Ca. P. prunorum' survived. The shoot length of mycorrhizal European stone fruit yellows-inoculated plants did not differ from the values recorded for healthy non mycorrizal plants, indicating that early mycorrhizal inoculation increases tolerance to European stone fruit yellows disease in one-year old Prunus salicina cv Angeleno grafted on GF-677 rootstock. |
