Sugarcane white leaf phytoplasma (white leaf disease) in sugarcane crops is caused by a phytoplasma transmitted by leafhopper vectors. White leaf disease (WLD) occurs predominantly in some Asian countries and is a devastating global threat to sugarca...

Sugarcane white leaf (SCWL) disease, caused by Candidatus Phytoplasma sacchari, results in the most damage to sugarcane plantations. Some SCWL canes can grow unnoticed through the maturation phase, subsequently resulting in an overall low sugar yield...

White leaf disease (WLD) is an economically significant disease in the sugarcane industry. This work applied remote sensing techniques based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and deep learning (DL) to detect WLD in sugarcane fields at the Gal-Oya Pl...

The bacterial genus Wolbachia induces reproductive abnormalities in its insect host, including cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), which causes embryonic death in the crossing of infected males and uninfected females. Hence, Wolbachia-based strategies...

Phytoplasmas are associated with many plant diseases. In palms, lethal bronzing disease, Texas Phoenix palm decline, and coconut lethal yellowing decline are some of them. In Sri Lanka, coconut leaf wilt decline has been reported in the Weligama area...

Sugarcane white leaf (SCWL) disease, caused by Candidatus Phytoplasma sacchari, poses a significant threat to sugarcane cultivation. An obligate parasite, phytoplasma is difficult to culture in laboratory conditions, making the isolation of its DNA f...
