Sequence comparisons of plasmids pBJS-O of Spiroplasma citri and pSKU146 of S. kunkelii: implications for plasmid evolution [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2005
Background Spiroplasma citri BR3-3X and S. kunkelii CR2-3X cause serious diseases worldwide on citrus and maize species, respectively. S. citri BR3-3X harbors a plasmid, pBJS-Original (pBJS-O), that encodes the spiroplasma adhesion related protein 1 ...

An Analysis of the Genomic Variability of the Phytopathogenic Mollicute Spiroplasma kunkelii [PDF]

open access: yesPhytopathology®, 2013
Corn stunt disease has become a factor limiting maize production in some areas of the Americas in recent years. Although resistant maize genotypes have been developed in the past, this resistance has been unstable over time or in some geographical locations. To better understand disease components that could affect the stability of host resistance, we

A genome sequence survey of the mollicute corn stunt spiroplasmaSpiroplasma kunkelii [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 2002
The mollicute corn stunt spiroplasma (Spiroplasma kunkelii) is a leafhopper-transmitted pathogen of maize. Sequencing of the approximately 1.6-Mb genome of S. kunkelii was initiated to aid understanding the genetic basis of spiroplasma interactions with their plant and leafhopper hosts.

Phylogenetic positions of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris' and Spiroplasma kunkelii as inferred from multiple sets of concatenated core housekeeping proteins [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2005
Phytopathogenic mollicutes, which include spiroplasmas and phytoplasmas, are cell wall-less bacteria that parasitize plant hosts and insect vectors. Knowledge of the evolution of these agents is important in understanding their biology. The availability of the first complete phytoplasma and several partial spiroplasma and phytoplasma genome sequences ...

Characterization of a Novel Adhesin-like Gene and Design of a Real-Time PCR for Rapid, Sensitive, and Specific Detection of Spiroplasma kunkelii [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Disease, 2006
Spiroplasma kunkelii, a cell wall-less bacterium, is the causal agent of corn stunt disease. The pathogen is restricted to phloem sieve cells of infected plants and is transmitted by phloem-feeding leafhoppers. Since symptoms of corn stunt disease may not appear until close to flowering time, early detection of the pathogen in disease-transmitting ...

When Does Fungicide Use Pay Off in Maize? Evidence From Low Foliar Disease Pressure Environments in Southern Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Foliar fungicides are widely used in maize production in southern Brazil, yet their economic justification under low disease pressure remains uncertain. We synthesised yield and economic responses to a fungicide programme using a random‐effects meta‐analytic approach based on 19 multi‐environment trials conducted across the first and second ...
