植原体是植物病原细菌，引起许多疾病。本研究表明，植原体抗原膜蛋白（phytoplasma antigenic membrane protein，EMPG）具有很强的正选择性。对于我们测试的所有方法，非同义替换与同义替换的比率> 1。明确的积极选择意味着一个重要的生物学作用，宿主细菌的相互作用。
Phytoplasmas are plant-pathogenic bacteria that cause numerous diseases. This study shows a strong positive selection on the phytoplasma antigenic membrane protein (Amp). The ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions was > 1 with all the methods we tested. The clear positive selections imply an important biological role for Amp in host-bacterium interactions.
