Abstract

Elaeocarpus sylvestris var. ellipticus was a dominant tree species in Mt. Shiroyama (castle mountain) in the Tokushima Central Park until 1970s, however, most of the E. sylvestris trees have died. In this study we investigated whether the death has been caused by Elaeocarpus yellows. Results of nested PCR revealed that DNA of phytoplasma, the pathogen of Elaeocarpus yellows, was found in all E. sylvestris trees in Mt. Shiroyama and about 80% E. sylvestris trees in the Tokushima Central Park. Results of PCR-RFLP showed that the all the trees had the same DNA type of phytoplasma, and it was identical to the one that had been found in Japan. These results indicated that the recent decrease of E. sylvestris in Mt. Shiroyama is due to Elaeocarpus yellows.
