Target degradation specificity of phytoplasma effector phyllogen is regulated by the recruitment of host proteasome shuttle protein. [PDF]
Phyllogen‐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,

A high mortality of coconut palms was observed in the coastal areas of Equatorial Guinea. Molecular analyses on 16S rRNA and secA genes detected ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma palmicola’ subgroup 16SrXXII‐A. Strict monitoring and surveillance procedures for early detection of the pathogen are strongly recommended to reduce its impact and further spread in the
