As phytoplasmas are discovered at an ever-increasing pace in emerging and re-emerging plant diseases worldwide, the scheme for classification of phytoplasmas into 16S rRNA gene RFLP (16Sr) groups and subgroups is experiencing an ongoing rapid expansion. Improper delineation or designation of new groups and subgroups can open potential conflicts in classifying newly identified phytoplasma strains. To maintain the integrity of the classification scheme, criteria for the delineation of new groups and subgroups must be followed, and proper registration should be required to track established groups and subgroups.
随着植原体在全球新出现和再度出现的植物病害中被发现的速度不断加快，将植原体分类为16S rRNA基因RFLP（16Sr）组和亚组的分类体系正在迅速扩展。新组和亚组的划分或指定不当可能会在对新鉴定的植原体菌株进行分类时引发潜在冲突。为了维护分类体系的完整性，必须遵循划分新组和亚组的标准，并且应该要求进行适当登记以追踪已确立的组和亚组。
