Isolation of phytoplasmas associated to frogskin disease in cassava
Revista U.D.C.A Actualidad & Divulgación Científica, 2019 Frogskin is the most limiting disease of cassava crops in Colombia, causing losses in production up to 90%. Since this disease was associatated with 16SrIII phytoplasma presence, a study was carried out to isolate this phytoplasma using liquid and solid ...

Phytoplasma-Triggered Ca2+ Influx Is Involved in Sieve-Tube Blockage
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2013 Phytoplasmas are obligate, phloem-restricted phytopathogens that are disseminated by phloem-sap-sucking insects. Phytoplasma infection severely impairs assimilate translocation in host plants and might be responsible for massive changes in phloem ...
