Certain obligate parasites induce complex and substantial phenotypic changes in their hosts
in ways that favor their transmission to other trophic levels. However, the mechanisms …

Phytoplasmas are phloem‐restricted plant‐pathogenic bacteria transmitted by insects. They
cause diseases in a wide range of host plants, resulting in significant economic and …

Jujube witches' broom (JWB) phytoplasmas parasitize the sieve tubes of diseased phloem
and cause an excessive proliferation of axillary shoots from dormant lateral buds to favour …

Abstract Main conclusion Emblematic Vachellia spp. naturally exposed to hyper-arid
conditions, intensive grazing, and parasitism maintain a high nitrogen content and functional …

A survey assessed cucumber phyllody disease incidence in Chikkaballapura, Bengaluru

Phytoplasmas are cell wall-less, phloem-limited, and insect vectors transmitted prokaryotes
responsible for economically significant diseases on many different crops in the world. Their …

The propagation materials infected with phytoplasmas, such as rootstocks and other types of
grafting materials used as scions play an important role in the dissemination of phytoplasma …

Multi-trophic parasites often modulate host behaviors and development to attract other hosts.
However, whether these modulations are controlled by specific parasite genes and are …

Previous studies showed that environmental factors like temperature affected symptom
development and phytoplasma concentration within the plant tissues. However, no study …
