In our continuous surveys of bamboo plantations, we observed diseased Henon bamboos with typical HBWB
symptoms on farms in Jeonnam and Gyeoungnam provinces (Fig. 3). The farms produced the same bamboo cultivars
that were grown in Yeoungyang, and these bamboos also had severe symptoms: prominent leaf yellowing and
regrowth of weak shoots with smaller leaves. Severe infection resulted in the production of thin and wiry shoots.
