Phytoplasmas can cause serious and devastating problems for crop plants, especially in developing countries. <i>In Phytoplasmas: Methods and Protocols</i> experts in the field cover topics pertinent to scientists intending to develop a research program on phytoplasmas. The volume opens with an introductory chapter on the importance of phytoplasma diseases, followed by methods for detection and diagnosis as well as techniques for separating and classifying the phytoplasmas into their different taxonomic groups and subgroups. The final chapters cover methods for separating phytoplasma genomic and plasmid DNA from plant DNA for whole genome sequencing. Written in the successful <i>Methods in Molecular Biology(TM)</i> series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.</p><p> </p><p>Authoritative and easily accessible, <i>Phytoplasmas: Methods and Protocols</i> serves as an ideal guide to plant pathologists and molecular biologists aiming to set up a diagnostics facility for identifying the presence of these pathogens in plants or their insect vectors.</p>
