Phytoplasmas, the causal agents of numerous plant diseases, are insect-vector-transmitted,
cell-wall-less bacteria descended from ancestral low-G+ C-content Gram-positive bacteria in …

Phytoplasmas are cell wall-less bacteria that cause numerous plant diseases. As no
phytoplasma has been cultured in cell-free medium, phytoplasmas cannot be differentiated …

Phytoplasma phylogenetics has focused primarily on sequences of the non-coding 16S
rRNA gene and the 16S–23S rRNA intergenic spacer region (16–23S ISR), and primers that …

Control of grapevine virus and phytoplasma diseases is currently based on prophylactic
measures and cultural practices. Certification programs aim to avoid the introduction of …

Vineyards of southern France and northern Italy are affected by the flavescence dorée (FD)
phytoplasma, a quarantine pathogen transmitted by the leafhopper of Nearctic origin …

This chapter focuses on recent advances in 16S rRNA gene-based phytoplasma
differentiation, classification and taxonomy. As more phytoplasma genome information …

Background Phytoplasmas are bacteria without cell walls from the class Mollicutes. They are
obligate intracellular plant pathogens which cause diseases in hundreds of economically …

Recent studies have suggested that bedrock groundwater can exert considerable influence
on runoff generation, water chemistry, and the occurrence of landslides in headwater …

A rapid DNA extraction and loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) procedure was
developed and evaluated for the detection of two specific groups of phytoplasmas from …

A study to investigate the association of phytoplasmas with papaya dieback and citrus
decline syndromes in Ethiopia was carried out between July 2009 and February 2010, with …
