Ribosomal protein gene-based phylogeny for finer differentiation and classification of phytoplasmas.
TLDR
The phylogenetic relationships among phy toplasmas were generally in agreement with those obtained on the basis of the 16S rRNA gene in the present and previous works, however, the rp gene-based phylogeny allowed for finer resolution of distinct lineages within the phytoplasma 16Sr groups.

TLDR
The possibility to design specific primers for highly conserved genes such as 16S ribosomal gene together with the use of molecular probes randomly cloned from phytoplasma genome, allowed discriminating and molecularly classifying them.

'Candidatus Phytoplasma', a taxon for the wall-less, non-helical prokaryotes that colonize plant phloem and insects.
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.…

Phytoplasma: ecology and genomic diversity.
TLDR
Genomic diversity of phytoplasma groups appears to be correlated with their sharing common insect vectors, host plants, or both in nature.

TLDR
Phytoplasma identification by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR)/restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analyses on 275 grapevine samples and on batches of Scaphoideus titanus found a specific primer construction successfully employed for detection of both FD types in grapevine by direct PCR.

Detection of multiple phytoplasmas in perennial fruit trees with decline symptoms in Italy
TLDR
Investigation of etiologies of diseases associated with pear decline, plum leptonecrosis, nectarine chlorotic leaf roll, and apricot fruit crops grown in northern Italy revealed that two to four distinct types of phytoplasmas affiliated with phy toplasmas 16S rRNA group I, group III, group IV, group V, and group V were associated with most diseases.

Characterization of a Phytoplasma Associated with Frogskin Disease in Cassava.
TLDR
The first molecular identification of a phytoplasma associated with CFSD in cassava in Colombia is identified by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequence analyses of amplified rDNA products, and results were corroborated by PCRs employing group 16SrIII-specific rRNA gene or ribosomal protein (rp) gene primers.
