Tasks of Working Group 4 "Phytoplasma/host interactions" The main objective of working group 4 (WG4) "Phytoplasma/host interactions" is to collect current and future genome sequence/molecular information from phytoplasmas and their hosts and to provide this information to the (phytoplasma) community in a format that is understandable to non molecular biologists so that the available information can be used in management strategies. More specifically, WG4 was assigned the following tasks: 1. Integrate genomics and bioinformatics information into a single website to allow password-protected access for all members of this Action 2. Identify model systems in which to co-ordinate effort and research funding to enhance understanding of phytoplasma/host interactions 3. Establish a link between phytoplasma genomics achievements and insect vector transmission 4. Co-ordinate research activities on the molecular basis of phytoplasma diseases in plants and insects.
Phytoplasma genome sequence information can be found on the following web sites: http://cbi.labri.fr/outils/molligen/ http://www.jic.ac.uk/staff/saskia-hogenhout/genome.htm NCBI accession numbers of phytoplasma chromosomes: Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris, Onion Yellows phytoplasma strain M (OY-M): NC_005303 Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris, Aster Yellows phytoplasma strain Witches' Broom (AY-WB): NC_007716 Candidatus Phytoplasma mali, Apple Proliferation Phytoplasma (AP): NC_011047 Candidatus Phytoplasma australiense, Australian Grapevine Yellows (AUSGY):NC_010544
