Abstract
Fluorescence microscopy and PCR as well as graft transmission experime nts were employed to examine the persistence of the European stone fru it phytoplasma in the stem of various Prunus taxa during the dormant s eason. Both approaches revealed that the phytoplasma pathogen persists in the aerial parts of the trees in all stone fruit taxa examined.
