Names
Ca. Phytoplasma solani
Abstract
A survey carried out in Georgian vineyards, located in the Khaketi region, in September 2013, showed the presence of vines of the cultivar Chardonnay with typical grapevine yellows (GY) symptoms including leaf discoloration and curling, berry shriveling, and irregular maturation of wood. In the same vineyards, bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) plants showing shoot proliferation and leaf yellowing were found, suggesting the involvement of phytoplasmas in the disease etiology. Total DNA was extr

Abstract
During a survey carried out in Jordanian vineyards in August and October 2012, grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) plants showing typical grapevine yellows (GY) disease symptoms, including leaf discoloration and curling, berry shriveling, and irregular maturation of wood, were observed. In the same vineyards, bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) plants showing stunting and leaf chromatic alteration were found, suggesting the involvement of phytoplasmas in the disease etiology. Using a CTAB method, tota

Abstract
Phytoplasmas classified in group 16SrXII infect a wide range of plants and are transmitted by polyphagous planthoppers of the family Cixiidae. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence identity and biological properties, group 16SrXII encompasses several species, including ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma australiense ’, ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma japonicum ’ and ‘Candidatus
