Phytoplasma infection-induced floral reversions that affect reproductive growth in plants. (A,B), virescence (A) and phyllody (B) in periwinkles. (C,D), big bud (C) and phyllody (D) symptoms in tomato plants. (E), phyllody symptoms in strawberry plants. This particular phyllody occurred in the infected carpel, also called carpel phylloid. (F), cauliflower-like inflorescence (CLI) in phytoplasma-infected tomato plants. Such inflorescence fails to produce normal flowers and set fruits. (G), multiple symptoms (virescence, phyllody, and big bud) occurred in the same periwinkle plant. Note: (E) is attributed to [23].
