'Candidatus Phytoplasma solani', a novel taxon associated with stolbur- and bois noir-related diseases of plants.
Fabio Quaglino,Yan Zhao,Paola Casati,D. Bulgari,Piero Attilio Bianco,Wei Wei,Robert E. Davis +6 more
TL;DR: Based on distinct molecular and biological properties, stolbur- and bois noir-associated strains are proposed to represent a novel species level taxon, 'Ca.

The i PhyClassifier, an Interactive Online Tool for Phytoplasma Classification and Taxonomic Assignment
TL;DR: The iPhyClassifier is an internet-based research tool for quick identification and classification of diverse phytoplasmas and simulates laboratory restriction enzyme digestions and subsequent gel electrophoresis and generates virtual restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns.

A new phytoplasma associated with little leaf disease in azalea: Multilocus sequence characterization reveals a distinct lineage within the aster yellows phytoplasma group
Wei Wei,Wei Wei,Hong Cai,Yi Jiang,Ing-Ming Lee,Robert E. Davis,Yang Ding,Enping Yuan,Hairu Chen,Yan Zhao +9 more
TL;DR: Results from restriction fragment length polymorphism, phylogenetic and comparative structural analyses of multiple genetic loci containing 16S rRNA, rpsS, rplV, rPSC and secY genes indicated that the AzLL phytoplasma represented a distinct, new 16SR subgroup lineage, designated as 16SrI-T, in the aster yellows phy toplasma group.

Salicylic acid-mediated elicitation of tomato defence against infection by potato purple top phytoplasma
TL;DR: Investigation of whether exogenous application of salicylic acid on healthy tomato seedlings would enhance the plants' defence against a subsequent potato purple top (PPT) phytoplasma infection showed that a twice-applied SA pretreatment significantly decreased the rate of PPT phy toplasmal infection and reduced disease symptoms.

Identification of two new phylogenetically distant phytoplasmas from Senna surattensis plants exhibiting stem fasciation and shoot proliferation symptoms
TL;DR: This is the first report that sunshine tree is a natural host of two evolutionarily divergent phytoplasmas and the first reports that a ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma australiense’-related strain is present in China, and signals a significant expansion of both geographical distribution and host range of 16SrXII and 16SRV phy toplasmas.
