This test checked jujube witches'-broom disease, sumac witches'-broom disease, paulonia witches'- broom disease, and mulberry dwarf disease whether or not they were infected by phytoplasma, using universal and specific primers. Upon treatment of DNA amplified by PCR of phytoplasma with Alu I , Hpa II and Sat I restricted enzymes, distinction of phytoplasmas was possible. Particularly, phytoplasma of each host was distinguishable by treatment of Hpa II restricted enzyme. Meanwhile, analysis of restricted enzymes of jujube witches'-broom disease showed a higher infectivity of phytoplasmas of two origins. There were a lot of relations between jujube witches'-broom disease and sumac witches'-broom disease, and between paulonia witches'-broom disease and mulberry dwarf disease.

Witches' broom symptoms were firstly found on tubers of Solanum tuberosum cv, Deijima, showing dense growth of spindly sprouts in Cheju province, Korea. Plantlets from the diseased plants also produced the typical witches' broom symptoms, having densely-growing small leaves when they became adult plants. At the later stages the diseased leaves were blightened. Presence of phytoplasma in plant tissues was confirmed by DAPI-staining fluorescence microscopy and electron microscopy, exhibiting its localization in sieve tubes of stem, petiole, and midrib. This is the first report of potato witches' broom in Korea.

The Symptoms of witches' broom disease caused by phytoplasma including general stunting and yellowing, were observed in leafy lespedeza (Lespedeza cyrtobotrya M.) on Doam-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, in 2006. Based on the sequence analysis of PCR-amplified 16S ribosomal DNA and 16S-23S spacer region DNA products using universal phytoplasma primers, the phytoplasma associated with leafy lespedeza witches' broom (LLWB) disease was identified as a member of Candidatus Pytoplasma trifolii. It was most closely related to alsike clover proliferation phytoplasma (99.8% similarity, accession no. AY390261), Candidatus Pytoplasma trifolii strain. RFLP patterns generated with AluI, HpaII clearly differentiated LLWB phytoplasma from the referenced phytoplasma strains, water dropwort witches' broom, mulberry dwarf, glehni aster yellow dwarf and jujube witches' broom. This paper is the first report on Candidatus Phytoplasma trifolii in leafy lespedeza identified at a molecular level.

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.

In order to diagnose and differentiate jujube witches' broom (JWB) phytoplasma rapidly, oligonucleotide primer pair, 16Sr(V) F/R, for polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) was designed on the basis of 16S rRNA sequences of JWB phytoplasma. The PCR employing phytoplasma universal primer pair P1/P7 consistently amplified DNA in all tested phytoplasma isolates. But no phytoplasma DNA was detected from healthy jujube seedlings. The nested PCR, the primer pair 16S(V) F/R, about 460 bp fragment, amplified DNA in all tested JWB and related phytoplasmas including ligustrum witches' broom phytoplasma of the 16S rRNA group V, but no DNA amplification was detected from other phytoplasma strains such as groups 16SrI (Aster yellows) and 16SrXII (Stolbur group) in which mulberry dwarf phytoplasma and chrysanthemum witches' broom phytoplasma belong to, respectively. The same results were obtained from both Korean and Chinese isolates of JWB phytoplasma. Nested-PCR using phytoplasma universal primer pair P1/P7 and 16SrV group-specific primer pair 16S(V) F/R could detect group V phytoplasmas rapidly and easily, in particular JWB phytoplasma.

Infection rate of witches'-broom disease (WB) was observed yearly in transplanted jujube seedlings for 7 years. Seedlings of‘Hongan’grafted either on the rootstock from seed (RS) or on the rootstock from rooting (RR) were planted in separate farms. Occurrence of the disease was determined 4 years after transplanting with the witches'-broom symptom. Only 1 seedling of RS was infected with WB, while 56 seedlings of RR showed WB. Yearly infection rates of WB were observed in several varieties of jujube including‘Boeun’,‘Keumsung’,‘Moodeung’,‘Bokjo’,‘Koori’(10 trees for each in Cheongjoo), and‘Hongan’(165 trees in Boeun). In most varieties, WB first appeared in the third year from transplanting, and in the seventh year, more than 80% of the total tree showed WB. The yearly infection rate of newly infected trees was almost. stable during the first years. However, the ratio sharply increased from the sixth year. The accumulated infection rate of WB increased double, year by year from the third to seventh year. Between Cheongjoo and Boeun, no difference in infection rates was found.

Heteroduplex mobility assay (HMA) and single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analyses combined with PCR were developed for genetic differentiation of various phytoplasma isolates. In the HMA and SSCP analyses, differences in the mobility shifts and the SSCP band patterns identified three distinct types of phyto-plasmas: Type Ⅰ, jujube witches'-broom (JWB) and ligustrum witches'-broom (LiWB); Type Ⅱ, mulberry dwarf（MD) and sumac witches'-broom (SuWB); and Type Ⅲ, paulownia witches'-broom (PaWB). Results of the sequence analyses revealed that phytoplasmas of JWB and MD had 100％ homology with LiWB and SuWB, respectively. On the other hand, PaWB phyto-plasma had 97.8% homology with MD phytoplasma. The PCR-HMA and SSCP techniques were very useful in determining variations in sequence among several isolates of phytoplasmas. Furthermore, the methods were rapid, economical, highly sensitive, and easy to handle with the gels.

Paulowina witches'-broom mycoplasma-like organism (PWB-MLO) was transmitted experimentally to periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus L.) plant by tobacco leaf bug (Cyrtopeltis tenuis Reuter). Adults of the leaf bugs were allowed to feed on the witch's-broom infected paulownia (Paulownia tomentoas Steud.) trees for three weeks to insure the acquisition of PWB-MLO and then transferred to healthy seedlings of periwinkle and paulownia plants. In 25∼35 days after transfer of the viruliferous leaf bugs, six out of the ten periwinkle plants showed‘little-leaf’symptoms, while the paulowina seedlings remained symptomless. Presence of MLO in the infected periwinkle tissue was diagnosed by fluorescence microscopy and MLO particles were observed under electron microscope, confirming the transmission of PWB-MLO to periwinkle.

우리나라에서 화훼류에 7종류의 파이토플라스마병이 발생하였다. 국화의 Ph-ch1과 Ph-ch2, 나리의 Ph-lily, 페튜니아의 petunia flat stem(PFS-K), 포인세티아의 poinsettia branch inducing(PoiBI-K), 스타티스의 statis witches' broom (SWB-K)과 아잘레아의 azalea witches broom(AWB) 등이다. 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열을 기본으로 화훼류 파이토플라스마를 분류한 결과 우리나라에는 aster yellow(AY), stolbur와 X-disease 순으로 많이 발생하였다. 파이토플라스마의 특징적인 병징 가운데 하나인 대화증상은 단자엽 식물인 나리와 페튜니아, 포인세티아와 같은 쌍자엽식물에서 모두 발생하였다. 또한 대화증상은 stolbur 그룹의 Ph-lily, AY 그룹의 petunia PFS-K와 X-disease의 포인세티아 PoiBI-K에서 모두 나타났다. 이 결과는 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열에 기초를 둔 파이토플라스마 분류와 증상과는 일관성있게 일치하지 않는다는 것을 알 수 있다. 우리나라 화훼류에서 발생한 7종의 파이토플라스마를 대추나무빗자루, 오동나무빗자루, 묏대추나무빗자루, 뽕나무 오갈 및 모감주나무파이토플라스마 등 5종의 수목 파이 토플라스마와 16S rRNA 유전자의 염기서열을 비교한 결과 88.5-99.9%의 매우 높은 상동성을 나타내었다. 특히 뽕나무오갈병 파이토플라스마는 PoiBI-K를 제외한 6종의 화훼류 파이토플라스마와 96.3-99.9% 가장 높은 상동성을 나타내었다. 이 결과로 우리나라 화훼류에 발생한 파이토플라스마병은 매개충을 통하여 수목으로부터 전염되었을 것으로 추정되었다.
