This study investigated DSE-mediated disease suppression through complementary pathogen-directed antagonism and host defence responses using integrated in vitro and greenhouse experiments. Four isolates, <i>Hyaloscypha variabilis</i> J1PC1 and LtVB3, and <i>Cladophialophora chaetospira</i> M4006 and SK51, consistently suppressed disease across successive evaluations. Mechanistic analyses showed that extracellular metabolites inhibited pathogen growth, while the selected isolates reduced oxalic acid production and disrupted the sclerotial life cycle by suppressing germination, promoting decomposition and delaying new sclerotial formation. Under greenhouse conditions, the four isolates delayed symptom development by 4–7 days and reduced disease severity by 73.3%–82.8% relative to the non-treated control. Their efficacy was further confirmed in a greenhouse validation experiment, in which all four isolates significantly reduced disease progress, with mean AUDPC values of 103.1–173.9 compared with 306.2 in the pathogen-only control. All four isolates colonised tomato roots, with colonisation further confirmed by qPCR for J1PC1 and M4006. DSE inoculation also enhanced phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity following pathogen challenge, particularly in J1PC1- and M4006-treated plants. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that DSE-mediated suppression of tomato southern blight involves complementary mechanisms affecting pathogen growth, survival and oxalic acid production while enhancing host defence responses, highlighting selected DSE isolates as promising biological control agents.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":16843,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Phytopathology","volume":"174 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149146378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While observing thin sections of infected major leaf veins of pecan (<i>Carya illinoinensis</i>) cultivars ‘Desirable’ and ‘Wichita’, isolated necrotic/oxidized cells deep within the ground tissue were routinely observed. Various staining methods including chlorazol black E/trypan blue, thionin/orange G and trypan blue-only, as well as fluorescent imaging with a wheat germ agglutinin fluorophore conjugate were performed to show vertical growth of infection hyphae through the ground tissue of major veins underlying pecan scab lesions. Subepidermal infection hyphae were also observed in scab lesions on ‘Cape Fear’ and ‘Pawnee’ pecan cultivars, although further molecular investigation will be required to definitively answer if the subepidermal hyphae observed are indeed <i>V. effusa</i>. The modified trypan blue staining method developed for this research has several benefits over staining methods currently used including eliminating the need for an autoclave and the use of the clearing agent chloral hydrate, which is classified as a controlled substance. It also reduces histological processing time from days to under an hour. Vertical growth of the hyphae through veins was often limited only by the presence of the vascular bundle; however, ‘Desirable’ appeared to arrest the spread of hyphae via lignification of parenchyma ground tissue.
