Geographic Distribution, Genetic Variability and Biological Properties of Rice Orange Leaf Phytoplasma in Southeast Asia [PDF]
Rice orange leaf phytoplasma (ROLP) causes clear orange to yellowish leaf discoloration and severe stunting in rice seedlings. The ecological and biological characteristics of ROLP are largely unknown because the disease has not widely caused serious ...

Reemerging Rice Orange Leaf Phytoplasma with Varying Symptoms Expressions and Its Transmission by a New Leafhopper Vector—Nephotettix virescens Distant [PDF]
Rice orange leaf phytoplasma (ROLP) belongs to the “Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris” 16SrI-B subgroup, which is solely transmitted by the zigzag-striped leafhopper (Recilia dorsalis Motchulsky) and the green leafhopper (Nephotettix cincticeps Uhler ...

The Antigenic Membrane Protein (Amp) of Rice Orange Leaf Phytoplasma Suppresses Host Defenses and Is Involved in Pathogenicity [PDF]
Phytoplasmas are uncultivable, phloem-limited, phytopathogenic bacteria that represent a major threat to agriculture worldwide. Phytoplasma membrane proteins are in direct contact with hosts and presumably play a crucial role in phytoplasma spread within the plant as well as by the insect vector.

Development of a Specific Polymerase Chain Reaction System for the Detection of Rice Orange Leaf Phytoplasma [PDF]
Rice orange leaf disease (ROLD), caused by rice orange leaf phytoplasma (ROLP), is transmitted by leafhopper vectors Recilia dorsalis and Nephotettix cinticeps. ROLD severely devastates rice production in Asia. Accurate detection of the pathogen is important for disease management.

Occurrence and Identification of a New Vector of Rice Orange Leaf Phytoplasma in South China [PDF]
Rice orange leaf disease (ROLD) is caused by rice orange leaf phytoplasma (ROLP) and occurs sporadically in rice-growing areas in countries of eastern and southeastern Asia. ROLD caused severe damage to rice production in South China in the 1980s. Although its impact subsequently declined in South China, it has reemerged as a serious threat recently ...
