| Abstract: | In 1998, rhus (Rhus javanica L.) yellows (RhY), caused by phytoplasma, was found in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. In vector transmission tests, Hishimonus sellatus acquired RhY phytoplasma from diseased R. javanica and transmitted it to healthy R. javanica. Twenty-two species of herbaceous plants in 10 families were infected with RhY phytoplasma by H. sellatus. The host range and main symptoms on test plants of RhY phytoplasma differed from those of Macrosteles striifrons-transmitted phytoplasmas, which belong to the same 16Sr I group phytoplasma.
