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, a large group of plant-pathogenic, phloem-inhabiting bacteria were
discovered by Japanese scientists in 1967. They are transmitted from plant to plant by …
