The occurrence of phytoplasmas, Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Potato virus Y (PVY) disease complex was studied in Xanthosoma plants in Assam, India. Through PCR analysis the disease complex was detected. Total DNA and RNA were extracted following standard protocols with some modifications. PCR analysis was done with primer specific annealing temperature. This is the first report that phytoplasmas are associated with CMV and PVY in Xanthosoma plants.
