Supplementary Fig. S1. Position of the degenerate primers represented by dashed boxes on the alignment of ribosomal protein (rp) genes covering the 3′ end of the rplB (rpl2) gene (bases 1–56), the entire rpsS (rps19) gene (bases 180–462) and the 5′ end of the rplV (rpl22) gene (bases 492–732).
Supplementary Fig. S2. Analysis of putative restriction sites in rp operon sequences [1.2 kb; contains rplV (rpl22) and rpsC (rps3) genes] amplified with primer pair rpF1C/rp(I)R1A from representative phytoplasma strains in the clover proliferation phytoplasma group (16SrVI).
Supplementary Fig. S3. Analysis of putative restriction sites in rp operon sequences [1.2 kb; contains rplV (rpl22) and rpsC (rps3) genes] amplified with primer pair rpF1C/rp(I)R1A from representative phytoplasma strains in the apple proliferation phytoplasma group (16SrX).
