Summary Flowering cherry ( P runus serrulata ) trees showing symptoms of excessive axillary growth, stunting, short internodes and decline were observed in Y antai C ity, S handong province, C hina. The samples with the flowering cherry decline were designated as F c D ‐ YT phytoplasma. Sequencing results, restriction fragment length polymorphism ( RFLP ) and phylogenetic analysis of sequences from the 1248‐bp R 16 F 2n⁄ R 16 R 2 products and partial ribosomal protein operon genes revealed the F c D ‐ YT phytoplasma as a member of subgroup 16 S r V ‐ B , rp V ‐ C . Two RFLP patterns were observed in recombinant colonies from the cloned 16 S r DNA gene with endonucleases H pa II and M se I . To our knowledge, this is the first report of 16 S r V group phytoplasma declining flowering cherry trees in China.
