First report of 16SrII–A phytoplasma associated with witches’ broom in Heliotropium arboreum (Blanco) Mabb. from Xisha Islands, with Halticus minutus as a putative vector [PDF]
Heliotropium arboreum (Blanco) Mabb. (syn. Tournefortia argentea), a key pioneer plant in tropical coastal ecosystems, plays a vital role in stabilizing coral islands. In China’s Xisha Islands, H.

Current Research Trends and Prospects for Yield and Quality Improvement in Sesame, an Important Oilseed Crop [PDF]
Climate change is shifting agricultural production, which could impact the economic and cultural contexts of the oilseed industry, including sesame. Environmental threats (biotic and abiotic stresses) affect sesame production and thus yield (especially ...

On the Trail of Stubborn Bacterial Yellowing Diseases [PDF]
This 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.

Phyllody Phytoplasma infecting Sesame (Sesamum indicum) in Myanmar [PDF]
Phyllody symptoms in sesame plants consisting of green leaf-like floral organs were collected from Yezin area, NayPyiTaw Division, Myanmar in January, 2010 and the etiological agent was investigated. By using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), phytoplasma was detected from the symptoms and termed sesame phyllody phytoplasma (SP-MYAN).

Induced plant resistance as a pest management tactic on piercing sucking insects of sesame crop [PDF]
Sesame, Sesamum indicum L. is the most oil seed crop of the world and also a major oil seed crop of Egypt. One of the major constraints in its production the damage caused by insect pests, particularly sucking insects which suck the cell sap from leaves,

Jujube Witches' Broom Phytoplasma Effectors SJP1/2 Manipulate the ZjTCP2-ZjTCP1 Cascade to Repress Leaf Cell Proliferation in Jujube. [PDF]
SJP1 and SJP2, two effectors secreted by JWB phytoplasmas, inhibit jujube leaf cell proliferation through manipulating a cascade involving ZjTCP2 and ZjTCP1, two TCP transcription factors from distinct subfamilies. ABSTRACT Leaf development into the final size is spatiotemporally regulated by cell proliferation and expansion. The jujube witches' broom (

Molecular Mechanism of ZjWRKY40-zju-miR157 Module Regulating Phytoplasma Tolerance in Jujube. [PDF]
SJP4JWB regulated the ZjWRKY40‐zju‐miR157 module to modulate the differential phytoplasma tolerance between phytoplasma‐susceptible genotype Fu and phytoplasma‐tolerant genotype T13. ABSTRACT Phytoplasma (‘Candidatus Phytoplasma’), a bacterial pathogen, is a significant plant health concern worldwide, resulting in substantial economic losses. In jujube
