Candidatus Phytoplasma sp. TWB_XP isolate:TWB_XP Genome sequencing
The earliest discovery of Candidatus Phytoplasma Trema was in Xinping County, Yunnan Province, China in 2018. The research group identified the pathogen as a phytoplasma through 16SrRNA analysis, which caused Trema levigata to exhibit symptoms of witches' broom. Therefore, the research group assembled the draft genome of Candidatus Phytoplasma Trema using a metagenomic separation method.
