Abstract

Recent Developments in Plant Mycoplasma Research like organisms associated with diseased plants belong to diverse groups. Some may ultimately prove to have close J.W. Bowyer affinities with the 'classical' mycoplasmas, but it is already Department of Plant Pathology and Agricultural Entomology, evident that others belong to previously unrecognized Un iversity of Sydney groups, for which new taxa are required. Their etiological roles in plant disease have yet to be confirmed. Although the evidence that Spiroplasma citri is plant-pathogenic seems There are now several hundred papers reporting the unequivocal, the organism has yet to be shown to be association of mycoplasma-like organisms with approx­ pathogenic for its natural host. imately sixty plant diseases, which were attributed prior to 1967 to virus infection. Some thirty papers deal with culture in vitro of mycoplasmas from diseased plants, but substantial evidence for the organisms' etiological roles References is generally lacking. In the case of stubborn and little leaf diseases of citrus, a mycoplasma-like organism has been Allen, T.e.
