Phloem elements of little leaf infected aubergine plants were separated from other cell types by partial digestion of plant tissue with macerating enzymes and viewed by fluorescence microscopy after staining with the fluorochrome, 4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). The isolated phloem elements from infected plants showed typical fluorescence indicating the presence of the causal phytoplasma. No such specific fluorescence was observed in healthy phloem tissues.
