| host plant determines the phytoplasma transmission competence of empoasca decipiens (hemiptera: cicadellidae). | phytoplasmas are phloem-restricted plant pathogens transmitted by leafhoppers, planthoppers, and psyllids (hemiptera). most known phytoplasma vectors belong to the cicadellidae, but many are still unknown. within this family, empoasca spp. (typhlocybinae) have tested positive for the presence of some phytoplasmas, and phytoplasma transmission has been proven for one species. the aim of this work was to investigate the ability of empoasca decipiens paoli in transmitting chrysanthemum yellows phyt ... | 2011 | 21510180 |
