Abstract excerpt
Poinsettia branch-inducing phytoplasma (PoiBI) is a phytopathogenic bacterium that infects poinsettia, and is associated with the free-branching morphotype (characterized by many axillary shoots and flowers) of many commercially grown poinsettias. The major membrane proteins of phytoplasmas are classified into three general types, that is, immunodominant membrane protein (Imp), immunodominant membrane protein A...
