Abstract excerpt
Flavescence dorée (FD) is a severe grapevine disease associated with FD phytoplasmas (FDp), mainly transmitted by the insect vector Scaphoideus titanus and occurring also in symptomless reservoir plants. This study assessed the genetic variability of putative effector-coding genes (hp) in FDp and FDp-related strains from Northern Italy, assigned to epidemic (M54, M38, M50, M51) and non-epidemic (M39, M43, M78)...
