geminivirus-related extrachromosomal dnas of the x-clade phytoplasmas share high sequence similarity.	southern blot hybridization analysis revealed that the extrachromosomal dnas (ec-dnas) associated with vaccinium witches' broom (vac) and walnut witches' broom phytoplasmas and various strains of the italian clover phyllody phytoplasma (icph) were highly homologous among themselves but distinct from ec-dnas of aster yellows related phytoplasmas occurring in the same insect and plant hosts and collected at the same site as the icph strains. the ec-dnas of various strains of the icph differed sign ...	1999	10411272
molecular characterization of phytoplasmas in lilies with fasciation in the czech republic.	lilium spp. with symptoms of severe fasciation were observed in southern and central bohemia during the period 1999-2003. nucleic acids extracted from symptomatic and asymptomatic plants were used in nested-pcr assays with primers amplifying 16s-23s rrna sequences specific for phytoplasmas. the subsequent nested-pcr with phytoplasma group-specific primers followed by rflp analyses and the 16s ribosomal gene sequencing, allowed classification of the detected phytoplasmas in the aster yellows grou ...	2005	15979819
genome drafts of four phytoplasma strains of the ribosomal group 16sriii.	by applying a coverage-based read selection and filtration through a healthy plant dataset, and a post-assembly contig selection based on homology and linkage, genome sequence drafts were obtained for four phytoplasma strains belonging to the 16sriii group (x disease clade), namely vaccinium witches' broom phytoplasma (647 754 nt in 272 contigs), italian clover phyllody phytoplasma strain ma (597 245 nt in 197 contigs), poinsettia branch-inducing phytoplasma strain jr1 (631 440 nt in 185 contigs ...	2012	22936033
