Abstract

Two experiments were carried out to study simultaneous transmission of phytoplasmas and spiroplasmas by the leafhopper Dalbulus maidis from double infected popcorn-plants. The double infection was obtained through only one leafhopper from field per plant. The results indicated variability among isolates and combinations of phytoplasmas and spiroplasmas for transmission by D. maidis and maize leaf symptoms expression.
