In August 2010 potato plants expressing symptoms of phytoplasma infection were collected from three localities in Vojvodina province of Serbia and analyzed for phytoplasma presence. Phytoplasma detection was performed by PCR/RFLP analyzes of 16S rRNA gene and by stolbur-specific PCR amplification with Stol11 primers. Stolbur phytoplasma was detected in all symptomatic potato plants analyzed. This is the first report of molecular detection of stolbur phytoplasma infecting potato in Serbia.
