Abstract
Commercial cultivation of American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) suffers from ginseng replant disease (GRD) when planted in a former ginseng garden. GRD typically manifests as a severe root rot due to the fungus Ilyonectria mors-panacis (A.A. Hildebr.) A. Cabral & Crous. Ginsenosides released to the soil by ginseng are thought to contribute to GRD mainly through the alteration of soil microbial communities. However, ginsenosides do not persist in ginseng garden soil post-harvest, suggesting that they are not direct contributors during GRD. Instead, ginsenosides can alter the virulence of Ilyonectria spp., specifically I. rufa A. Cabral & Crous, toward ginseng roots when pre-exposed to ginsenosides in vitro. Although I. rufa infection has not been previously implicated in GRD, a similar mechanism may occur in I. mors-panacis, thereby suggesting that ginsenosides may contribute to establishing the GRD state. Additionally, while various Ilyonectria isolates were able to metabolise select ginsenosides, this did not correlate with virulence.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Phytopathology publishes original and review articles on all scientific aspects of applied phytopathology in agricultural and horticultural crops. Preference is given to contributions improving our understanding of the biotic and abiotic determinants of plant diseases, including epidemics and damage potential, as a basis for innovative disease management, modelling and forecasting. This includes practical aspects and the development of methods for disease diagnosis as well as infection bioassays.
Studies at the population, organism, physiological, biochemical and molecular genetic level are welcome. The journal scope comprises the pathology and epidemiology of plant diseases caused by microbial pathogens, viruses and nematodes.
Accepted papers should advance our conceptual knowledge of plant diseases, rather than presenting descriptive or screening data unrelated to phytopathological mechanisms or functions. Results from unrepeated experimental conditions or data with no or inappropriate statistical processing will not be considered. Authors are encouraged to look at past issues to ensure adherence to the standards of the journal.
