In July 2021, plums were found to be covered with unfamiliar yellow mycelia on the plum trees and on the ground in the campus of Northeast Agricultural University in Harbin. The symptoms on the fruit were initially manifested as white mycelium and water damage, then the mycelium turned yellow and the water immersion area expanded rapidly. Finally, the whole fruit is covered by yellow, dense mycelium, so that the flesh becomes soft rot, and fall off, causing about 3~5% economic loss (Fig. 1A, B). The thirty diseased fruits were collected, and the tissue (5 × 5 mm) was cut from the diseased fruits, and then surface sterilized with 75% alcohol for 30 s, soaked in 3% sodium hypochlorite for 5 min, washed with sterile distilled water for 3 times, and inoculated on potato dextrose agar (PDA) and malt extract agar (MEA) at 28 °C. Strains growing around the tissues from samples were subcultured on PDA, and 3 strains (DNMI01, DNMI02 and DNMI03) were obtained using the single-spore isolation method. On PDA, the hyphae were light yellow in the early stage, and became golden yellow in the later stage. The edge of the colony was fan-shaped, and the growth rate was extremely fast for 3 days to reach a full dish (Fig. 1G). On MEA, the mycelium was light yellow at the initial stage, and became grayish black in the later stage. The colony grew irregularly and grew slowly (Fig. 1H). Sporangiospores have two shapes, yellow, aseptate, globose or subglobose 7.7 to 14.1 × 8.5 to 13.9 μm (n=30), oval 2.5 to 6.4 × 6.2 to 12.0 μm (n=30, Fig. 1C). Columellae frequently pyriform, oval, colorless or yellowish, and 31.5 to 53.7 μm × 50.6 to 83.2 μm (n=30, Fig. 1D, E). Sporangia globose or subglobose, yellow, wall echinulate, and 55.3 to 109.1 × 67.9 to 123.5 μm (n=30, Fig. 1F) (Santiago et al. 2013). Acetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide method was used to extract DNA from 3-day-old. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 28S rRNA partial gene sequences were amplified by primers ITS1 / ITS4 (White et al. 1990) and LR0R / LR5 (O'Donnell 1993), respectively. The sequences obtained by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were sequenced and the sequences were deposited in GenBank with accession numbers ITS, OR136169-OR136171, and LSU, OR136179-OR136181. BLAST analysis of these sequences showed 96.13%-96.48% similarity to Mucor inaequisporus culture CBS255.36 (JN206177.1), 99.28%-99.58% to culture CBS255.36 (MH867301.1), respectively (Walther et al. 2013). Phylogenetic analysis by maximum likelihood method (MEGA7.0) generated based on the ITS, LSU sequences indicated that the strains formed a supported clade to the related M. inaequisporus type sequences.

Crop losses have reached 100% in highly susceptible cultivars. In the southeastern United States, management of this disease has predominantly relied on broad-spectrum fungicide programs targeting several summer diseases of apples. To improve control of GLS and bitter rot, field experiments to evaluate the efficacy of multi- and single-site fungicides were conducted over multiple years in a 'Gala' research orchard located in Mills River, NC from 2017-2019. Fungicides representing different modes of action were applied in a non-rotational program from petal fall until the immediate pre-harvest period to assess their efficacy in reducing GLS incidence, shoot defoliation due to GLS, and pre-and post-harvest bitter rot. Of the fungicides evaluated, Captan 80WDG (a.i. captan), Merivon (a.i. fluxapyroxad and pyraclostrobin), Cabrio (a.i. pyraclostrobin), and Aprovia (a.i. benzovindiflupyr), provided good to excellent control against disease caused by Colletotrichum chrysophilum. In these programs, the incidence of GLS, expressed as relative area under the disease progress curve (rAUDPC), ranged from 4.6 to 43.8 in the Captan 80WDG (2019) and the Aprovia (2017) programs, respectively. The incidence of bitter rot at harvest in these programs from 2017-2019 ranged from 0.0% to 45.3% in the 2018 and 2017 Captan 80WDG programs, respectively.

Shoot defoliation due to GLS followed a similar trend across the evaluated fungicide programs. In addition to non-rotational fungicide programs, the effect of carrier water pH for applications of captan was evaluated for bitter rot control in Virginia and NC. No differences in captan efficacy were observed at either location.

(Asparagaceae) is a perennial flowering herbaceous plant native to China, and widely cultivated as ornamental plant in South China. During May 2024, an anthracnose was observed on approximately 70% of O. bodinieri in a farm at Mazhang, Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province (22°6'14.7''N,110°27'26.8''E). The symptoms appeared first as small spots with irregular yellow or brown halos, subsequently, the lesions darkened and expanded, covering the leaves. Twenty four plants infected with the disease were sampled, and the pathogen was isolated from sixteen of the plants. Disease tissues (5×5mm) were surface disinfected with 75% ethanol and 3% hydrogen peroxide, rinsed with sterilized distilled water three times, and placed onto potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium containing 50 mg/L of penicillin. The plates were incubated in the dark at 28°C for 3 days. Isolates obtained by transferring the hyphal tips onto fresh PDA were further cultured by single spore dilution method (Choi et al. 1999). Colonies with dense, cottony aerial mycelia were initially white and became grey after 8 days. Conidia were hyaline, one-celled, guttulate, oblong with rounded ends, 13.2 to 17.9 µm × 3.8 to 5.7 µm (n=50). Appressoria formed from mycelia were dark brown, mostly irregular lobes and becoming complex with age, 12.9 to 15.6µm × 7.8 to 11.9 µm (n=50). Setae were absent. Morphological and cultural characteristics were identical to Colletotrichum siamense. To further identify, internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, B-tubulin (tub), glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gapdh), chitin synthase (chs), actin (act) and calmodulin (cal) genes of isolate YJ8-2 and YJ1-3 were amplified and sequenced with the primer pairs of ITS1/ITS4 (White et al. 1990), TUB-2Fd/4Rd, GAPDH-F/R, CHS-345R/79F, ACT-Rd/512F, CAL-CL1C/CL2C respectively (Weir et al. 2012).

BLAST research showed the sequences of YJ8-2 and YJ1-3 had above 98% identity with C. siamense ex-type ICMP: 18578 (ITS: JX010171 (548/548 100%) and (545/546 99%); GAPDH:JX009924 (271/277 98%) and (260/266 98%); CAL:JX009714 (720/728 99%) and (726/731 99%); TUB: JX010404 (479/485 99%) and (466/467 99%); CHS:JX009865 (294/299 98%) and (254/256 99%); ACT:JX009518 (268/271 99%) and (270/271 99%)). A phylogenetic tree based on concatenated sequences of the six genes using maximum-likelihood method revealed that isolate YJ1-3 and YJ8-2 clustered in the same clade with C. siamense. To confirm pathogenicity, five healthy leaves of one-year-old O. bodinieri in the field were wiped with 75% ethanol and sterile water, wounded with a sterile needle.

In May 2021 and 2022, a stem and leaf rot disease in C. kwangsiensi was observed in Qinzhou and Nanning, Guangxi Province, with an incidence of approximately 15% across the survey area (0.5 ha). Initial symptoms included brown, water-soaked lesions on tender leaves, which progressed to involve entire leaves and stems, ultimately causing the plant to turn yellow, soft, and slimy, leading to plant death. To identify the pathogen, 29 Curvularia-like strains were obtained from six symptomatic plants using tissue isolation methods and single-spore purification (Zhang et al., 2013). The fungus was consistently isolated from all six plants. Five isolates were selected for further investigation. On potato dextrose agar (PDA), colonies were sparse and grey. On oatmeal agar (OA), colonies were cottony, with a green fruiting zone and a pale grey aging zone. On malt extract agar (MEA), colonies exhibited irregular edges with a raised whitish zone. Conidia were induced on water agar (WA). Conidiophores were erect, short, septate, unbranched, and measured 11.5~35 × 2.7~4.9 μm (n = 50). Conidiogenous cells proliferated terminally, sympodially, were slightly verruculose to smooth-walled, light brown, and measured 3.2~12.0 × 2.5~5.3 μm (n = 40). Conidia were straight or clavate, seldom curved at the third cell from the base, mostly three-septate, and occasionally two-septate, olivaceous brown, and measured 11.0~27.9 × 4.5~11.0 μm (n = 70).

In September 2023, powdery mildew was observed on H. trionum leaves in the cotton experimental field (0.133 ha) at Shihezi University, with the surfaces of the leaves covered with white powder. The mildly infected leaves displayed chlorosis, while those with severe infections exhibited senescence. In the field, we conducted a five-point sampling method across five 1 m² plots, examining a total of 100 weeds, of which 96% displayed these symptoms. Morphological analysis revealed conidiophores measuring 40.2-160.8 × 3.3-10 µm (without conidia), with a mean dimension of 80 × 9.2 µm, arising from the upper surface of hyphal mother cells or laterally, typically towards one end of the cell. Foot-cells were straight or curved, measuring 28.8-92.4 × 7.8-10.9 µm (mean 66 × 9.6 µm), followed by 2-4(-5) shorter cells, with the basal septum usually located at the junction with the supporting hypha. Conidia were transparent, cylindrical to nearly rectangular, with dimensions of 18.2-36.2 × 10.8-15.6 µm, consistent with the characteristics of Golovinomyces tabaci (Qiu et al., 2020). To confirm the morphological identification, the total genomic DNA of the representative strain GT-SHZ was extracted using the CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle. 1990). The ITS, 28S rDNA, and TUB2 sequences were amplified with the specific primers ITS5/ITS4(White et al., 1990), LSU1/LSU2 (Scholin et al., 1994), and TubF1/TubR1(Qiu et al., 2020), respectively. After TA cloning and sequencing, vector sequences were removed, and the sequences of the ITS, 28S rDNA, and TUB2 were deposited in GenBank under accession numbers PQ571799, PQ572139, and PQ586974, respectively. BLAST analysis indicated that the ITS, 28S rDNA, and TUB2 sequences of GT-SHZ were 100%, 98.58%, and 99.5% identical to ITS (MK937796.1), 28S rDNA (AB430816.1), and TUB2 (ON645928.1) of G. tabaci, respectively. A combined phylogenetic analysis of ITS, 28S rDNA, and TUB2 confirmed that the GT-SHZ clustered with G. tabaci. To assess the pathogenicity of the GT-SHZ, conidia collected from H. trionum leaves infected with GT-SHZ were formulated into a spore suspension (1 × 107 spores/mL) and sprayed onto the leaf surfaces of six healthy plants, with six non-inoculated plants as controls. Both groups were placed in two growth chambers with consistent environmental conditions (25°C temperature and 60% humidity). Twelve days post-inoculation, a large amount of white powder appeared on the leaves of the inoculated plants, while the controls remained healthy. The morphological characteristics and the nucleotide sequences of the ITS, 28S rDNA, and TUB2 from the fungus collected on the inoculated leaves are consistent with the GT-SHZ. Two pathogenicity tests obtained similar results, identifying G. tabaci as the pathogen causing powdery mildew on H. trionum. This pathogen has been reported on ","PeriodicalId":20063,"journal":{"name":"Plant disease","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143414934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In August 2024, a foliar disease was observed on sicklepod throughout cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) plots in a nine-acre field at EV-Smith Plant Breeding Unit in Tallassee, Alabama (32.4967° N, 85.8905° W), U.S. The symptoms were round to irregular, 3 to 9 mm, brown to dark-brown lesions with alternating concentric rings, surrounded by a pale-yellow halo. The estimated disease incidence was 40%. Four symptomatic plants were sampled from different locations across the field for pathogen isolation. The leaves with lesions were surface sterilized by soaking in 1 % NaClO for 1 min, followed by 70 % ethanol for 1 min, and rinsed twice in sterile distilled water for 30 seconds. The lesions were excised and plated on V8 agar amended with 0.5 mL of lactic acid per 500 mL of medium. The plates were incubated at 22 °C under a 12-h light/dark cycle for ten days. Six fungal isolates with identical morphologies were obtained. During incubation, colonies developed gray aerial mycelium, turning dark gray to brown with age. The conidiophores were unbranched, erect or slightly curved, elongated, and brown, appearing singly or in clusters, with 3 to 14 pseudosepta. Conidia were obclavate to cylindrical to slightly curved, and multinucleate, containing 3 to 12 septa. Conidia were 50 to 193 µm in length and 5 to 14 µm in width. For molecular identification of pathogen, isolate SP1 was selected, and DNA was extracted from 100 mg of 10-day-old mycelium using the EZNA Fungal DNA Mini Kit (Omega Bio-tek, GA). Three regions, internal transcribed spacer (ITS; White et al. 1990), actin-encoding locus (act1; Carbine & Kohn, 1999), and hypervariable loci (ga4; Dixon et al. 2009) were used to confirm SP1 isolate. The sequences of ITS (PQ536090) and act1 (PQ876357) shared 100% identity, and 94.7% and 99.3% homology with ITS (ON316921) and act1 (MF320391), respectively. The ga4 sequence (PQ876356) shared 98% identity and 98.09% coverage with C. cassiicola (MH605239) in GenBank. For pathogenicity test, a conidial suspension of isolate SP1 (40,000 spores/mL) was sprayed onto sicklepod plants at the two-true-leaf stage in the greenhouse. Six plants were inoculated with the conidial suspension, while three additional plants were sprayed with sterile distilled water to serve as controls. Control and inoculated plants were transferred to a mist chamber constructed with PVC pipe (dimensions: 4 m × 4 m × 8 m) and enclosed with a transparent plastic sheet. The plants were arranged in a completely randomized design inside the chamber, and a mist system operated for 2 seconds every 10 minutes over three days to maintain humidity above 80%.

To effectively manage avocado branch canker, it is imperative to identify the causal fungal species accurately and understand their biology and pathogenic potential. Over 500 fungal isolates were collected from symptomatic branches of avocados showing a general decline, including cankers and dieback of arms and twigs across several California orchards (n=23). Seventy-one representative isolates were selected for detailed analysis based on location, tissue type, colony morphology, and spore characteristics. Multi-locus phylogenetic analysis identified four Botryosphaeriaceae species: <i>Neofusicoccum luteum</i> (most prevalent, 66 isolates), <i>Lasiodiplodia theobromae</i> (3 isolates), <i>Botryosphaeria dothidea</i> (1 isolate), and <i>Neofusicoccum australe</i> (1 isolate). Pathogenicity tests revealed significant variability in aggressiveness, with <i>L. theobromae</i> (26.3 ± 3.77 mm) and <i>N. luteum</i> (23.6 ± 0.87 mm) causing the largest lesions. Additionally, a sporulation trial on an <i>N. australe</i> isolate revealed that acidified potato dextrose agar amended with sterilized pine needles at 22°C under constant light optimized its sporulation. In vitro fungicide assays identified fluazinam as the most effective fungicide across the species exhibiting the lowest EC<sub>50</sub> values. Metconazole and propiconazole also exhibited low EC<sub>50</sub>, while azoxystrobin and boscalid showed the highest. Furthermore, <i>L. theobromae</i> showed reduced sensitivity to azoxystrobin (18.711 μg/mL), cyproconazole (6.381 μg/mL), flutriafol (4.151 μg/mL), and pyraclostrobin (5.477 μg/mL).

In June 2022, a serious bark cracking disease was observed on jackfruit in the 2400-acre orchards of Hekou, Yunnan (E103°52'39″ N22°34'14″). The disease mainly harms tree trunks and branches. The incidence rates were about 90% and the mortality rate of plants reached up to 50%. Symptoms initially appeared as small watered-spots with gumming. Subsequently the bark rotted and cracked, the xylem gradually turned brown (Figure 1). Ultimately, the upper branches of infected parts withered and died. Small 5×5 mm segments of infected tissue from 50 randomly selected trunk with typical symptoms were surface sterilized with 75% alcohol solution and 3% hydrogen peroxide solution respectively, rinsed three times with sterile water, and placed onto PDA medium with 50mg/L of penicillin. The plates were kept at 25 to 28 ℃ in the dark. Fusarium-like colonies were consistently isolated on potato dextrose agar (PDA) and 15 monoconidial isolates were obtained. On PDA, colonies exhibited white and fluffy aerial mycelia. Main hyphae are up to 5.5 µm wide. The microconidia were hyaline, falcate, measuring 4.50-9.00×2.30-4.00 µm (av.6.50×3.15 µm, n=50). Macroconidia with septation were 9.00-11.50×3.05-5.25 µm (av.10.50×4.15 µm, n=50) with foot-shaped basal cells, tapering to hooked apical cells (Figure 2). These morphological characterizations were similar to Fusarium sp. (Sun et al, 2018). For further identification, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, RNA polymerase II subunit (RPB2) and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1) genes sequence of isolate BLM1 and BLM2 were amplified and sequenced with primer pairs of ITS1/ITS4, RPB2-5F2/RPB2-7CR, EF-1/EF-728R respectively (Weir et al, 2012), The sequences were submitted to GenBank (ITS: PQ394640 and PQ394641, RPB2: PQ416997 and PQ416998, TEF: PQ416999 and PQ417000). Blast results showed the sequences of BLM1 and BLM2 had high identity to these of Neocosmospora pseudensiformis (Anamorp: Fusarium pseudensiformis) ex-type CBS 125729 (NRRL 46517) (ITS: 548/553(99%); TEF: 456/466(98%); RPB2: 823/823(100%)) (Sandoval-Denis, et al 2019). Polyphasic identification showed above 98% sequence similarity to N. pseudensiformis CBS 125729, CBS 130.78, NRRL22354, LC13838 (https://www.fusarium.org/Poly%20ID%20Fusarium). Phylogenetic analysis using MEGA 7 based on the combined ITS-TEF-RPB2 sequence data, employing the maximum likelihood (ML) method for the multi-locus dataset, showed that BLM1 and BLM2 clustered with F. pseudensiformis (Figure 3). Two five-year-old healthy Jackfruit trees and ten one-year-old seedlings were used for a pathogenicity test. Three plants were inoculated with PDA medium or with sterile water as an experimental control.
