Development of a specific assay using RISA for detection of the bacterial agent of 'basses richesses' syndrome of sugar beet and confirmation of a Pentastiridius sp. (Fulgoromopha, Cixiidae) as the economic vector

International audience; A technique for the specific diagnosis in insects of SBRp (the γ-3 proteobacterium associated with the syndrome ‘basses richesses’ (SBR) of sugar beet crops in eastern France), using the RISA (rDNA intergenic spacer analysis) technique, was developed. PCR using the Alb1/Oliv1 primer pair specifically amplified a 16S-ITS region of SBRp and produced a characteristic DNA fingerprint. This PCR assay did not detect other closely related organisms, including the Arsenophonus endosymbiont of Diaphorina citri, the secondary endosymbiont of Glycaspis brimblecombei, or ‘Candidatus Phlomobacter fragariae’, a related phytopathogenic γ-3 proteobacterium. Six different ribosomal o…
