The state of Zacatecas is the main producer of garlic in Mexico. Recently, it was reported the presence of Candidatus Phytoplasma trifolii in this region affecting garlic plants that showed symptoms such as dwarfism, bright leaves and little or no differentiation of teeth, which are known as ‘waxed’ garlic. Considering that there is no information about the impact of this symptomatology on garlic plants, the purpose of this work was to determine its effect on vegetative characteristics of plants of four garlic genotypes (Tigre, Platero, Enc-4 and CH-6). ‘Waxing’ in garlic plants was found to be associated with consistent losses in plant height and leaf length and, to a lesser extent, in the weight of leaf and pseudostem. The rest of the variables showed erratic behavior between genotypes and sampling dates.
