First Report of ' Phytoplasma trifolii'-Related Strain Associated with Vaccinium Reddish Witches'-Broom Disease of European Blueberry in Lithuania.

European blueberries ( L.) can be found across the Northern Hemisphere, particularly in cool, temperate forests. These shrubs produce dark blue berries that are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and anthocyanins making them valuable for both human consumption and food supplements.

Differential Symptomology, Susceptibility, and Titer Dynamics Manifested by Phytoplasma-Infected Periwinkle and Tomato Plants.

Phytoplasmas are intracellular pathogenic bacteria that infect a wide range of plant species, including agriculturally important crops and ornamental trees. However, our understanding of the relationship between symptom severity, disease progression, and phytoplasma concentration remains limited due to the inability to inoculate phytoplasmas mechanically into new plant hosts. The present study investigated phytoplasma titer dynamics and symptom development in periwinkle and tomato, both infected with the same potato purple top (PPT) phytoplasma strain using a small seedling grafting approach.

First Report of Lingonberry Stunted Yellows Disease of L. associated with ' Phytoplasma trifolii'-Related Phytoplasma Strain in Lithuania.

Lingonberries (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) are low-growing, evergreen shrubs of cooler, northern regions of North America and Europe. These plants produce berries that are unique in flavor, bear high economic significance, and play a vital role in maintaining the diversity of the northern ecosystems (Kowalska, 2021).
