Journal ArticleDOI
Amplification of 16S rRNA genes from culturable and nonculturable mollicutes
Sujun Deng,Chuji Hiruki +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest the possibility that 16S rRNA genes of culturable and nonculturable Mollsicutes can be amplified for detection and for a phylogenetic study using crude Mollicutes DNA preparations under appropriately controlled thermocycling conditions.

'Candidatus Phytoplasma', a taxon for the wall-less, non-helical prokaryotes that colonize plant phloem and insects
Giuseppe Firrao,M. Andersen,Assunta Bertaccini,E. Boudon,Joseph M. Bové,X. Daire,Robert E. Davis,J. Fletcher,Monique Garnier,Karen S. Gibb,Dawn E. Gundersen-Rindal,Nigel A. Harrison,Chuji Hiruki,B.

TL;DR: The trivial name 'phytoplasma' has been adopted to collectively name wall-less, non-helical prokaryotes that colonize plant phloem and insects, which were formerly known as mycoplasma-like organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytoplasma-specific PCR primers based on sequences of the 16S-23S rRNA spacer region.
Christine D. Smart,B Schneider,C L Blomquist,L J Guerra,N A Harrison,U. Ahrens,K. H. Lorenz,E Seemüller,Bruce C. Kirkpatrick +8 more
TL;DR: In order to develop a diagnostic tool to identify phytoplasmas and classify them according to their phylogenetic group, the sequence diversity of the 16S-23S intergenic spacer regions (SRs) of phy toplasmas was taken advantage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytoplasmas: bacteria that manipulate plants and insects
Saskia A. Hogenhout,Saskia A. Hogenhout,Kenro Oshima,El-Desouky Ammar,Shigeyuki Kakizawa,Heather N. Kingdom,Shigetou Namba +6 more
TL;DR: Phytoplasma can increase fecundity and survival of insect vectors, and may influence flight behaviour and plant host preference of their insect hosts, but generally do not negatively affect the fitness of their major insect vectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genus and species- specific identification of mycoplasmas by 16s rrna amplification
F.J.M. van Kuppeveld,J. T. M. Van Der Logt,A.F. Angulo,M.J. van Zoest,W.G.V. Quint,Hubert G. M. Niesters,Jochem M. D. Galama,Willem J. G. Melchers +7 more
TL;DR: Systematic computer alignment of mycoplasmal 16S rRNA sequences allowed the identification of variable regions with both genus- and species-specific sequences, and Mycoplasma collis proved to be species specific in the polymerase chain reaction.

Mycoplasma- or PLT Group-like Microorganisms Found in the Phloem Elements of Plants Infected with Mulberry Dwarf, Potato Witches' Broom, Aster Yellows, or Paulownia Witches' Broom
TL;DR: It is suggested that the Mycoplasma-like organism described above may be the causal agent of mulberry dwarf disease, although further experiments are necessary for an undisputed proof of etiology and taxonomy.

Journal ArticleDOI
Suppressive Effects of Antibiotics of Tetracycline Group on Symptom Development of Mulberry Dwarf Disease
TL;DR: Results may indicate that mulberry dwarf disease is caused by an agent whose multiplication is inhibited by an antibiotic such as chlortetracycline and tetracy Cline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning and Detection of DNA from a Nonculturable Plant Pathogenic Mycoplasma-like Organism.
TL;DR: DNA isolated from extracts of insects infected with the Western X-disease MLO was cloned in Escherichia coli to provide both a sensitive diagnostic tool and a basis for genetically differentiating MLOs.
