FIGURE 1 A, Bright lemon-green foliar symptoms on Johnson grass (black arrow heads) on the side of a road in Moore County, TX. B, Associated interveinal chlorosis (red arrow heads) on Johnson grass; C, on young seedling corn plants (back arrow heads) at the edge of a corn field; and D, on maturing field sorghum plants. E, Maturing field corn plants at the reproductive stage of growth showing interveinal chlorosis. F, Close-up view of young sorghum plants with interveinal chlorosis and G, stunted corn plants (white arrow head) next to non-symptomatic plants. H, A patch of stunted sorghum plants (white arrow heads) with no panicle surrounded by non-symptomatic sorghum plants. I, Close-up image of mature sorghum plants with underdeveloped and shriveled panicles (white arrow heads).
