Abstract excerpt
Imp is a gene coding for the immunodominant membrane protein Imp that is supposed to be involved in host-pathogen interactions. It was identified in some 'Candidatus Phytoplasma' species and showed a considerable sequence variability. For this characteristic it can be exploited to complement conventional phytoplasma classification based on the conserved 16S rRNA gene, enhancing the differentiation of closely...
