Abstract;In 2003 and 2004 years, brown spot symptoms were observed on tea leaves in tea fields in Kagoshima prefecture, mainly after typhoons. A severe incidence caused leaf fall and bud blight. A bacterium that formed a white, circular colony on King's B medium, was always isolated from lesions, and leaf symptoms of tea were reproduced after inoculation with this bacterium. Based on its bacteriological characteristics, pathogenicity on tea leaves and a 16S rRNA sequence analysis, the bacterium was identified as Acidovorax valerianellae Gardan, Stead, Dauga and Gillis 2003. This is the first report of bacterial spot of tea caused by Acidovorax valerianellae in Japan. (author abst.)
