Phytoplasmas are a diverse group of obligate intracellular bacterial parasites, and diseases associated with these bacteria are among the most important problems affecting agriculture worldwide. However, most knowledge of the diversity and ecology of phytoplasmas and their hosts has been accumulated through studies of phytoplasma disease epidemiology ...

Plant apocarotenoids: from retrograde signaling to interspecific communication
Summary Carotenoids are isoprenoid compounds synthesized by all photosynthetic and some non‐photosynthetic organisms. They are essential for photosynthesis and contribute to many other aspects of a plant's life. The oxidative breakdown of carotenoids gives rise to the formation of a diverse family of essential metabolites called apocarotenoids.

The pathogenic effector PHYL1<sub>JWB</sub> interacts with ZjCURT1A to mediate jujube witches' broom-induced photosynthesis impairment of jujube trees. [PDF]
SUMMARY Photosynthesis impairment and the accompanying leaf yellowing represent a prominent and physiologically critical symptom of phytoplasma infection. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified the Jujube Witches' Broom pathogenic effector PHYL1JWB, which was previously reported to induce ...
