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

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,
