Article Synopsis
- - Phytoplasmas are bacteria without cell walls that cause abnormal plant growth and diseases, leading to significant economic losses, largely because they rely on nutrients from host plants due to gene loss during evolution.
- - This study used metabolomics to analyze changes in sweet cherry trees infected with SCV phytoplasma, identifying 676 metabolites, with 187 showing significant alterations, primarily in carbohydrates, fatty acids/lipids, amino acids, and flavonoids.
- - The research indicated that phytoplasma infection enhances certain metabolic pathways in plants, aiding in nutrient acquisition and energy production, thus revealing how phytoplasmas reprogram host plant metabolism for their own benefits.
