Phytoplasmas are obligate pathogens and thus they can be studied only in association with their plants or insect hosts. In this chapter, we present protocols for rearing some phytoplasma insect vectors, to obtain infected insects and plants under controlled environmental conditions. We focus on Euscelidius variegatus and Macrosteles quadripunctulatus that can infect Arabidopsis thaliana, and Scaphoideus titanus, that can infect grapevine.

Abstract
Phytoplasmas are obligate pathogens and thus they can be studied only in association with their plants or insect hosts. In this chapter, we present protocols for rearing some phytoplasma insect vectors, to obtain infected insects and plants under controlled environmental conditions. We focus on Euscelidius variegatus and Macrosteles quadripunctulatus that can infect Arabidopsis thaliana, and Scaphoideus titanus, that can infect grapevine.File in questo prodotto:
