“…Only two genes involved in photosynthesis, cytochrome b599, an important component of photosystem II, and photosystem II reaction center I protein, were highly influenced by phytoplasma infection in cranberry. Phytoplasma infection causes an inhibition of the entire electron transport chain in photosystem II in grape leaves (Bertamini and Nedunchezhian, 2001), significantly depresses photosystem I activity in Paulownia leaves (Mou et al, 2013), and downregulates the genes associated with the electron transport chain, such as ferredoxin, photosystem I, and photosystem II, in jujube (Wang et al, 2018). The grana and stroma lamellae, structures of chloroplasts, were destroyed, and original lamellae were formed in the infected jujube leaves (Xue et al, 2018).…”
