‘ Candidatus  Phytoplasma solani’ is the causal agent of Bois noir (BN) in grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It is usually detected in leaves, where typical disease symptoms are seen. However, little information is available on the presence of this phytoplasma in grapevine roots. Here, we investigated ‘ Ca . P. solani’ in roots collected from 28 symptomatic, 27 recovered and eight asymptomatic grapevine plants. Protocols based on high-resolution melting (HRM) combined with real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR-HRM) and nested-qPCR-HRM were developed to identify ‘ Ca . P. solani’  tuf -type variants with single nucleotide polymorphisms. In all, 21.4% of roots from symptomatic plants were positive to ‘ Ca . P. solani’ using qPCR-HRM, and 60.7% with nested-qPCR HRM. Also, 7.4% of roots from recovered plants were positive using qPCR-HRM, which reached 44.4% using nested-qPCR HRM. These analyses identified  tuf -type b1 on 88.2% of the positive samples from symptomatic grapevines, and 66.6% from recovered grapevines, with all other samples identified as  tuf -type a. This study reports the presence of ‘ Ca . P. solani’ in the roots of both symptomatic and recovered grapevines. These qPCR-HRM and nested-qPCR-HRM protocols can be applied to increase the sensitivity of detection of, and to simplify and speed up the screening for, ‘ Ca . P. solani’  tuf -types.
