Reverse zombification: suppressor mutagenesis of plants overexpressing phytoplasma effector proteins to identify host factors of disease phenotype

Many microbes communicate with plants and animals in intricate ways, which may cause severe diseases. Phytoplasmas are a good case in point. They are cell wall-less eubacteria that obligatory parasitize and replicate in two very different hosts, plants...
