The genus 'Candidatus Phytoplasma'was proposed to accommodate cell wall-less bacteria
that are molecularly and biochemically incompletely characterized, and colonize plant …

Phytoplasma taxonomy has been a topic of discussion for the last two and half decades.
Since the Japanese scientists discovered the phytoplasma bodies in 1967, the phytoplasma …

Within the 16SrII phytoplasma group, subgroups A–X have been classified based on
restriction fragment length polymorphism of their 16S rRNA gene, and two species have …

Phytoplasmas are insect-transmitted plant pathogens that cause substantial losses in
