Complete genome sequence of Lettuce Witches’-Broom phytoplasma isolate LWB: a 16SrIII-X subgroup with expanding relevance in South America
(Springer, 2026-01-03)Phytoplasmas are non-cultivable, cell wall-less bacteria associated with a wide range of plant diseases worldwide and are transmitted by phloem-feeding insect vectors (Lee et al. 2000; Bertaccini et al. 2022). Traditionally, ... -
Genetic Diversity in Phytoplasmas from X-Disease Group Based in Analysis of idpA and imp Genes
(MDPI, 2025-05-21)Phytoplasmas of the X-disease group (16SrIII) are economically significant pathogens in South America, causing severe crop losses. Traditional classification based on the 16S rRNA gene has limitations in resolving closely ... -
Genetic diversity of 16SrIII group phytoplasmas in Argentina. Predominance of subgroups 16SrIII-J and B and two new subgroups 16SrIII-W and X
(Springer, 2013-12)Twelve Argentinean 16SrIII (X-disease)-group phytoplasma strains were analyzed. Ten of them, detected in daisy (Bellis perennis), garlic (Allium sativum), ‘lagaña de perro’ (Caesalpinia gilliesii), periwinkle (Catharanthus ... -
Identification and molecular characterization of a phytoplasma associated with sunflower in Argentina
(Springer, 2014-04)Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) plants showing capitulum with virescence, phyllody and flower malformation, shortened internodes and abnormal branches were found in a field in Pedro Luro (Buenos Aires province, Argentina). ... -
Molecular characterization of effector protein SAP54 in Bellis virescence phytoplasma (16SrIII-J)
(Springer, 2019-06-03)Phytoplasmas are wall-less bacteria with a parasitic lifestyle responsible for numerous plant diseases worldwide. Since the introduction of next generation sequencing technologies, genome wide studies of these pathogens ...
