摘要：

Phytoplasmas causing a severe decline of three tree species, i.e., Rhus javanica, Hovenia tomentella and Zizyphus jujuba, in Japan were examined for their transmissibility by a leafhopper species Hishimonus sellatus, and for their phylogenetic relatedness. By H. sellatus, Rhus yellows (RhY) phytoplasma was transmissible to white clover and periwinkle seedlings, causing typical symptoms in these plants. Jujube witches' broom (JWB) phytoplasma was also transferred to the host plant, Z. jujuba, by the leafhopper. Because JWB phytoplasma was transmitted to Hovenia tomentella and caused the same symptoms as Hovenia witches' broom (HWB), JWB phytoplasma may be very closely related to HWB phytoplasma. RFLP analysis of the PCR products of 16S rDNA revealed that RhY phytoplasma belongs to the Aster yellows (AY) group, and JWB and HWB phytoplasmas belong to a different group (possibly Elm yellows group). Thus, we found that one species of leafhopper can carry phylogenetically distant phytoplasmas.
