Jujube Witches' Broom Phytoplasma Effectors SJP1/2 Manipulate the ZjTCP2-ZjTCP1 Cascade to Repress Leaf Cell Proliferation in Jujube. [PDF]
Mol Plant PatholSJP1 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 (
