Abstract

Melia azedarach var. japonica trees with leaf yellowing, small leaves and witches' broom were observed for the first time in Korea. A phytoplasma from the symptomatic leaves was identified based on the 16Sr DNA sequence as a member of aster yellows group, ribosomal subgroup 16SrI-B. Sequence analyses of more variable regions such as 16S-23S intergenic spacer region, secY gene, ribosomal protein (rp) operon and tuf gene showed 99.5-100% nucleotide identity to several GenBank sequences of group 16SrI phytoplasmas. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the Melia azedarach witches' broom phytoplasma belongs to aster yellows group.
