Potential mobile units drive the horizontal transfer of phytoplasma effector phyllogen genes

Potential mobile units drive the horizontal transfer of phytoplasma effector phyllogen genes

Phytoplasmas are obligate intracellular plant pathogenic bacteria that can induce phyllody, which is a type of abnormal floral organ development. Phytoplasmas possess phyllogens, which are effector proteins that cause phyllody in plants. Phylogenetic comparisons of phyllogen and 16S rRNA genes have...
