Aster yellows disease survey in Saskatchewan, Canada, 2001-2006
Phytoplasmas are wall-less prokaryotes belonging to the class Mollicutes. The organisms are obligate parasites and are transmitted by phloem feeding insects, mainly leafhoppers. Aster Yellows (AY) disease in canola is associated with the Since the AY epidemic in canola crops in 2000, AY disease surveys have been conducted annually in oilseed, cereal, and pea crops throughout Saskatchewan, Canada. In 2000, AY disease incidence reached 12% in canola crops; a few fields in northern Saskatchewan had 30-45% infected plants. In 2001-2005, AY incidence in canola declined to less than 1%. In 2006, 19 canola fields, 20 cereal fields, four pea fields and two flax fields were surveyed to estimate AY incidence. Plants and populations of M. fascifrons were sampled to investigate the presence and identity of phytoplasmas using PCR technology and DNA sequencing.Results of the 2001-2006 surveys are presented.
