abstract = {Yellow midribs of sugarcane leaves are a typical symptom of Leaf yellows which was
found in Africa, Cuba and India, caused by Western-X disease phytoplasma. Yellow
midrib symptoms were found in sugarcane in Thailand, too. Leaves with yellow midrib
symptoms were collected in plantations in Northeast, Southeast and Central Thailand
and tested for phytoplasma. The symptomatic leaves and often also non-symptomatic,
green leaves of sugarcane from all three regions contained phytoplasma of the
Sugarcane white leaf phytoplasma type, which is a member of the Rice yellow dwarf
group. No Western-X disease phytoplasma was found in the samples. It is concluded
that yellow midrib symptoms in Thailand sugarcane are not caused by the Leaf yellows
phytoplasma, but are an early symptomatic stage of White leaf phytoplasma. White leaf
phytoplasma is not only confined to the Northeast of Thailand from where it had been
previously reported, but is also prevalent in the other sugarcane regions in Thailand,
which calls for a simple, rigorous identification of infected seed cane to eradicate the
disease.}
