Fig. 1. — Maize bushy stunt phytoplasma (MBSP) induced diverse morphological changes in maize plants. (A) Infected plants demonstrate lateral branching and ear proliferation. (B) Plant stunting is a common symptom in infected maize (MBSP-infected plant on the right, non-inoculated control on the left). (C) Leaf rip (marginal tearing indicated by the white arrow). (D) Infected leaves curl (twist) and develop necrotic tissue at the tip. (E) Young leaves remain closed in the whorl and do not fully expand. (F) Young leaves (arrow) at the plant tip show characteristic chlorosis which is usually absent in older basipetal leaves. (G) Leaf reddening. (H) Leaf yellowing. (I) Necrotic lesions on the leaf blade. Pictures were taken 3 weeks after the inoculation with MBSP.
