Abstract
Sunhemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) is a tropical leguminous crop valued for its multifaceted utility in fiber production, green manuring, and as a raw material in the manufacture of paper and rope. One of the major biotic stresses affecting sunhemp is phyllody disease, caused by a phytoplasma, specifically belonging to the “Candidatus Phytoplasma” spp. These are obligate intracellular pathogens classified under the class Mollicutes, and are primarily transmitted by sap-sucking insect vectors such as

Evaluation of Candidatus Xenohaliotis californiensis (CXc) and its associated phage pCXc in black abalone of Baja California, Mexico

Names
Ca. Xenohaliotis californiensis
Abstract
Black abalone Haliotis cracherodii from California, USA, and Baja California, Mexico, have faced massive population declines for more than 30 yr. The main factors contributing to these declines have been overfishing, pollution, climate change, and lethal diseases, such as withering syndrome, caused by the intracellular bacterium Candidatus Xenohaliotis californiensis (CXc). In recent years, the presence of an associated bacteriophage, pCXc, infecting CXc was detected and reported in some abalone

Abstract
AbstractBACKGROUNDAutophagy is a conserved mechanism by which eukaryotic organisms defend against pathogen infection. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of autophagy in the interactions of insect vectors with the phloem‐limited bacterial pathogen remain unclear. The citrus Huanglongbing (HLB)‐associated pathogen ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas) seriously endangers development of the citrus industry. It spreads via Diaphorina citri in a persistent and propagative mann

Abstract
ABSTRACTSesame phyllody, a destructive disease caused by phytoplasma infection, induces severe morphological abnormalities, including floral virescence, phyllody, witches' broom, leaf deformation, and stunted growth. This study aimed to characterize phytoplasma isolates from diverse regions of India, identifying them as Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris (16Sr‐I), Candidatus Phytoplasma citri (16Sr‐II), and Candidatus Phytoplasma australasia (16Sr‐II). Whole‐genome sequencing of Candidatus Phytoplas

First Detection of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma australasia’ in Robinia pseudoacacia: Molecular Characterization and Tissue-Specific Distribution

Abstract
Candidatus phytoplasma affects a wide range of host plants. In recent years, the severity and distribution of the disease have increase many fold. The present study isolated the pathogen from leaves (chlorosis), dried branches, and the other tissues of the infected tree. Acacia trees (n=15) showing severe yellowing and desiccation in the landscape areas of Şanlıurfa province were sampled from the buds (V-shaped) in three different parts of the branches, backward from the top of the branches duri

In silico approaches for consensus primer design and validation towards development of rapid diagnostics against the Candidatus Liberibacter species

Abstract
Citrus greening or Huanglongbing (HLB) is a rapidly spreading disease caused by Candidatus Liberibacter species, which inhabit the phloem of citrus plants. It is primarily transmitted by psyllid insects. Managing HLB is challenging due to the bacterium's phloem-restricted nature, making diagnosis and treatment with antimicrobials difficult. Here in the present study, the bacterial consensus sequences were used for the primer design with In silico approaches and validated by PCR. The study was ca
