Abstract in Portuguese
Sintomas típicos de infecção por fitoplasmas foram encontrados em plantas de gergelim cultivadas comercialmente. Estes sintomas se caracterizavam pela intensa proliferação de ramos, presença abundante de folhas levemente cloróticas e de tamanho menor que as normais, além de pétalas de coloração verde. A partir de plantas afetadas foi extraído o DNA total, o qual foi usado em reações de duplo PCR, visando detectar fitoplasmas nos tecidos vegetais. Fragmentos genômicos de 1,2 Kb da região do 16S rDNA foram amplificados demonstrando a constante associação entre fitoplasmas e plantas doentes. Através de duplo PCR usando primers específicos, foi identificado um fitoplasma pertencente ao grupo 16SrI em todas as amostras sintomáticas analisadas. Com base no sequenciamento desta região genômica e na digestão in sílico, as análises virtuais de RFLP revelaram que um dos fitoplasmas presentes nas amostras de gergelim era afiliado ao subgrupo 16SrI-B. No entanto, os padrões de restrição apresentados pelo outro fitoplasma mostraram que o mesmo era distinto dos demais representantes dos subgrupos que constituem o grupo 16SrI. Os valores calculados de coeficientes de similaridade e os mapas putativos de restrição confirmaram os resultados da análise de RFLP, indicando que este fitoplasma era representante de um novo subgrupo. A árvore filogenética, construída a partir das sequências nucleotídicas do 16S rDNA de diversos fitoplasmas evidenciou que este novo fitoplasma emergia de um ramo distinto, considerando as ramificações dentro do grupo 16SrI. A filodia do gergelim foi anteriormente relatada em vários países, sendo associada com fitoplasmas dos grupos 16SrI, 16SrII e 16SrVI. O presente trabalho revelou a ocorrência de dois fitoplasmas associados à filodia, sendo um deles pertencente ao subgrupo 16SrI-B e outro caracterizado como representante de um novo subgrupo, aqui denominado 16SrI-X.

Abstract in English
Typical symptoms commonly induced by phytoplasmas were found in sesame plants grown in commercial fields. These symptoms were characterized by shoot proliferation, leaves of reduced size exhibiting light chlorosis, and green petals. Total DNA extracts were obtained from diseased plants and used as template in nested PCR, in order to detect phytoplasmas in the tissues of the hosts. Genomic fragments of 1.2 kb corresponding to the 16S rDNA region were amplified demonstrating the association of phytoplasmas and diseased plants. Using nested PCR with specific primers, a phytoplasma belonging to group 16SrI was identified in all symptomatic samples. Based on the sequencing of 16S rDNA and in silico digestion, the virtual RFLP analysis allowed identify the presence of a phytoplasma affiliated with the subgroup 16SrI-B. This analysis also revealed a second phytoplasma distinct of all representatives of the subgroups within the group 16SrI. Similarity coefficients values and analysis of putative restriction sites confirmed the results obtained from virtual RFLP analysis indicating that this phytoplasma was representative of a new subgroup. A phylogenetic tree generated by the 16S rDNA sequences belonging to diverse phytoplasmas evidenced that this new phytoplasma emerged from a distinct branch, within of the 16SrI group. The sesame phyllody was previously reported in various countries in association with phytoplasmas belonging to 16SrI, 16SrII, and 16SrVI groups. The present study revealed the association of the phyllody with a phytoplasma affiliated with 16SrI-B and a phytoplasma representative of a new subgroup here named 16SrI-X.
