The sweet potatoes infected with witches'-broom disease were collected in the growing fields in Jeon-bug area, Korea. As a possible control plant, Ipomoea batatas L.var. Suwon 147 was selected. The pathogen was identified by various methods ; such as mechanical transmission, antibiotic reactions and electron microscopy. In the results attained the author believed the pathogen of the sweet potato infected with witches' broom to be a mycoplasma-like organism. the results are as follows : 1. Mycoplasma-like bodies were occurred in the phloem region of the sweet potatoes infected with witches'-broom and its particles were sized in the range of about 200-2,500m.mu.. The membrane of the pathogen was observed to be made of an unit. 2. Responsibilities to the antibiotices were sensitive in case of tetracycline and terramycin, and root dipping method showed remarkable than foliage spray. 3. The infection was developed by the grafting transmission but by the insects, Myzus persicae and Cicadella viridis. 4. rosette, witches'-broom, stunt, yellowish, mosaic and necrosis were observed as the symptomps of the disease.

전북지방에 만연되고 있는 고구마 위축병에 관한 병원성 검정에 따른 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 본고구마 위축병의 병원은 mycoplasma-like organism(또는 PPLO)으로서 그 형태는 타원형이며 크기는 200~2500범위이다. 2.항생물질 효과는 oxytetracycline이 가장 효과적이다. 3.전자현미경 관찰 결과 mycoplasma-like bodies 는 엽맥 관세포 속에 밀집되여 있고, 항생물질에 의해 모구조의 파괴현상이 나타난다. 4. 감염경로는 접목전염만이 되고, 즙액전염, 곤충전염에서는 감염이 되지 않았다.
