Abstract:
Phytoplasmas for which 16S rDNA sequences are available have been classified into 20 major phylogenetic groups or subclades. Further phytoplasmas have been assigned to these groups, according to other molecular data such as RFLP analysis of PCR-amplified ribosomal DNA, nucleic acid hybridization, and serological comparison. A total of 75 phytoplasmas were distinguishable among the molecularly characterized phytopathogenic mollicutes.
