Phytoplasmas are bacteria lacking cell wall that are located in the phloem of plants and in the hemolymph of insect vectors. The phytoplasma classification scheme is based on PCR/RFLP analyses of 16S rDNA: a reliable tool for the differentiation that has become the most comprehensive and widely accepted classification system. On the other hand, the \u2018Candidatus Phytoplasma\u2019 species description, recently under adoption, refers to 16S rRNA gene sequence with a threshold <97.5% similarity to that of any previously described \u2018Ca. Phytoplasma\u2019 species. However because of the highly conserved nature of the 16S rDNA, many biologically or ecologically distinct phytoplasma strains, which may warrant designation of a new taxon ...
