Abstract
ABSTRACT The complete genome of “ Candidatus Phytoplasma solani” GOE was obtained from the infected vector Pentastiridius leporinus by single-molecule real-time sequencing. This 16SrXII-P phytoplasma is associated with the economically important sugar beet disease “syndrome basses richesses.” The genome sequence is an essential resource for diagnosis and understanding pathogen–host interact

Divergence within the Taxon ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris’ Confirmed by Comparative Genome Analysis of Carrot Strains

Abstract
Phytoplasmas are linked to diseases in hundreds of economically important crops, including carrots. In carrots, phytoplasmosis is associated with leaf chlorosis and necrosis, coupled with inhibited root system development, ultimately leading to significant economic losses. During a field study conducted in Baden-Württemberg (Germany), two strains of the provisional taxon ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris’ were identified within a carrot plot. For further analysis, strains M8 and M33 underwent shot
