Simple Summary Phytoplasmas are vector-borne and graft-transmissible bacteria that cause
various plant diseases, leading to severe economic losses. Since phytoplasmas cannot be …

Abstract Phytoplasmas (genus 'Candidatus Phytoplasma') are plant pathogenic bacteria that
reside intracellularly within the plant phloem. Phytoplasmas induce a wide range of unique …

Background JWB phytoplasma is a kind of insect-transmitted and uncultivable bacterial plant
pathogen causeing a destructive Jujube disease. To date, no genome information about …

Phytoplasmas are obligate cell wall-less prokaryotic bacteria that primarily multiply in plant
phloem tissue. Jujube witches' broom (JWB) associated with phytoplasma is a destructive …

Flower malformation represented by phyllody is a common symptom of phytoplasma
infection induced by a novel family of phytoplasma effectors called phyllogens. Despite the …

Bacteria of the genus 'Candidatus Phytoplasma'are uncultivated intracellular plant
pathogens transmitted by phloem-feeding insects. They have small genomes lacking genes …

Sugarcane Grassy Shoot (SCGS) disease is known to be related to Rice Yellow Dwarf
(RYD) phytoplasmas (16SrXI-B group) which are found predominantly in sugarcane growing …

Phytoplasmas are important prokaryotic pathogenic bacteria without cell walls, which were
formerly known as mycoplasma-like organisms, and belong to the Mollicutes class …

Obtaining complete phytoplasma genomes is difficult due to the lack of a culture system for
these bacteria. To improve genome assembly, a non-ionic, low-and iso-osmotic iodixanol …

Sugarcane is one of the important commercial cash crops grown widely for sugar
production. Red rot, smut, wilt, grassy shoot and yellow leaf are the major diseases of …
