Professor Jun-Yi Yang and his team found that important crops, including pea and cockscomb, as well as weeds such as parthenium weed and false daisy, can serve as hosts for infection by 16SrII-V phytoplasmas. These findings provide a basis for derived applications in modifying orchid floral morphology. The results were published in Plant Disease (Liao et al., 2023) and New Disease Reports (Mejia et al., 2023).
