Accelerating Complete Phytoplasma Genome Assembly by Immunoprecipitation-Based Enrichment and MinION-Based DNA Sequencing for Comparative Analyses.

Phytoplasmas are uncultivated plant-pathogenic bacteria with agricultural importance. Those belonging to the 16SrII group, represented by ' P. aurantifolia', have a wide range of plant hosts and cause significant yield losses in valuable crops, such as pear, sweet potato, peanut, and soybean.

Detection, Identification, and Molecular Characterization of a 16SrII-V Subgroup Phytoplasma Associated with .

Viviani, commonly known as curl-leaved tobacco, is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to Solanaceae family. This plant is native to Mexico, South America, and parts of the Caribbean and has been reported to be present in Taiwan since 2006. In March 2021, Viviani, found in Yunlin County, Taiwan, was observed to have phyllody, virescence, and witches'-broom, which is consistent with the disease symptoms caused by phytoplasma infection.

Identification of 16SrII-V Phytoplasma Associated with Mungbean Phyllody Disease in Taiwan.

Mungbean ( (L.) R. Wilczek), an important legume crop in Asia, is primarily cultivated in the central-southern region of western Taiwan.
