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

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

Several economically relevant phytoplasma-associated diseases are described together
with an update of phytoplasma taxonomy and major biological and molecular features of …

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 …

Phylum Firmicutes (low‐G+ C, Gram‐positive eubacteria); Class Mollicutes; Candidatus …

Numerous yellows-type diseases of plants have been associated with wall-less prokaryote
pathogens–phytoplasmas over the last 40 years. These pathogens are not grown in axenic …

Phytoplasmas classified in group 16SrXII infect a wide range of plants and are transmitted
by polyphagous planthoppers of the family Cixiidae. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence …

A summary of the research carried out on phytoplasma-associated diseases 50 years after
their discovery is presented. The great majority of this research was devoted to classification …

Phytoplasmas are cell wall-less bacteria that cause numerous plant diseases. As no
