Phytoplasma-Triggered Ca2+ Influx Is Involved in Sieve-Tube Blockage

Phytoplasmas are obligate, phloem-restricted phytopathogens that are disseminated by phloem-sap-sucking insects. Phytoplasma infection severely impairs assimilate translocation in host plants and might be responsible for massive changes in phloem physiology. Methods to study phytoplasma- induced cha...
