^a‘Ca. L. asiaticus’-infected greenhouse grown yuzu (Sorce-R2) used as an inoculum source for psyllid transmission of the pathogen.

^bSame number between the psyllid as vector and the recipient plant was one-to-one correspondence, respectively.

^cAnterior part (including head and prothorax) of each psyllid individual after acquisition feeding on source-R2 plant and inoculation feeding on recipient yuzu seedling.

^dPosterior part (including mesothorax, metathorax, and abdomen) of each psyllid individual after acquisition feeding on source-R2 plant and inoculation feeding on recipient yuzu seedling.

^eRecipient plants that became infected upon psyllid transmission of the bacterium from the source Sorce-R2 plant.
