On the Trail of Stubborn Bacterial Yellowing Diseases [PDF]
MicroorganismsThis retrospective review traces personal encounters along the complex path of plant yellowing diseases—graft-transmissible disorders historically attributed to elusive viruses, but later linked to phloem-invading, wall-less bacteria known as Mollicutes.

Structural insights into the molecular mechanism of phytoplasma immunodominant membrane protein [PDF]
IUCrJImmunodominant membrane protein (IMP) is a prevalent membrane protein in phytoplasma and has been confirmed to be an F-actin-binding protein. However, the intricate molecular mechanisms that govern the function of IMP require further elucidation. In this

Target degradation specificity of phytoplasma effector phyllogen is regulated by the recruitment of host proteasome shuttle protein. [PDF]
Mol Plant PatholPhyllogen‐mediated degradation specificity for MADS transcription factors (MTFs) is controlled by two steps: MTF‐binding affinity and recruitment of proteasome shuttle protein (this study, red arrow). Abstract Phytoplasmas infect a wide variety of plants and can cause distinctive symptoms including the conversion of floral organs into leaf‐like organs,
