A disease caused by a virus, resulting in yellowing and discoloration of plant veins.

Bacteria that convert nitrogen in the environment into usable forms for plants.

Mycoplasma are bacteria lacking cell walls, while Phytoplasma are bacteria lacking cell walls and a complex internal structure which is intracellular parasites or symbionts.

Localized infections are restricted to a specific area, while systemic infections affect the whole body.
