The peculiarities of adaptation of mycoplasmas (class Mollicutes) to stressors, which ensure the sur vival of the smallest, devoid of the cell wall prokaryotes under various environmental conditions, are of great interest for basic and applied studies associated with determination of the moleculargenetic basis of for mation and evolution of the parasitehost system as well as the methods for its control [1, 2]. Mycoplasma gallisepticum is a unique example of mycoplasmas as organisms capable of adaptations [3, 4]. This myco plasma, known as a causative agent of avian diseases and a contaminant of viral vaccines created on the basis of chick embryos [5], also occurs in plants [6]. However, data on studying M. gallisepticum phyto pathogenicity are missing in the literature.
