This study presents the first complete genome of a group 16SrVIII phytoplasma, revealing the significant role of mobile units in genome size variation and evolution.

The paper analyzes genome diversity in Agrobacterium tumefaciens to study the evolution of secretion systems and virulence plasmids, revealing gene losses, horizontal transfers, and modularity in molecular evolution.

This study analyzes the genetic diversity of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. fastidiosa in Taiwan, finding it was recently introduced from the US and shows genetic diversity through recombination, but no recombination with the endemic species.

The paper reports the complete genome sequence of Xylella taiwanensis and compares its virulence gene content with Xylella fastidiosa to understand evolutionary relationships and virulence mechanisms.

This paper refines the classification of 16SrI phytoplasmas using genome analysis, identifies molecular markers for species distinction, and highlights challenges in genome assembly and recombination.
