Abstract:
In this introductory chapter, we provide an overview of phytoplasma biology and outline the historical milestones that shaped the field, from their first discovery to their current taxonomic status. We also highlight how this third edition of "Phytoplasmas: Methods and Protocols" differs from previous volumes, reflecting both the adoption of new molecular and sequencing technologies and the revival of classical approaches. Taken together, these developments illustrate the evolving trajectory of phytoplasma research and set the stage for the detailed protocols presented in the following chapters.
