Solution(By Examveda Team)

The diseases caused by Mycoplasma-like organisms (MLO) are Brinjal little leaf, Rice yellow dwarf, and Sugarcane grassy shoot.
Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria that, like the other members of the class Mollicutes, lack a cell wall around their cell membranes.
This characteristic makes them naturally resistant to antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis. They can be parasitic or saprotrophic and causes different diseases in plants as well as humans.
