title: Fluorescence in situ hybridization for phytoplasma and endophytic bacteria localization in plant tissues.
abstract: In the present study, we developed a rapid and efficient fluorescence in situ hybridization assay (FISH) in non-embedded tissues of the model plant Catharanthus roseus for co-localizing phytoplasmas and endophytic bacteria, opening new perspectives for studying the interaction between these microorganisms.
