Pathogenicity, Electrophoretic Characterisation and In planta Detection of the Cocoyam Root Rot Disease Pathogen, Pythium myriotylum

Cocoyam (Xanthosoma sagittifolium), an important staple food crop for many people in the tropics and subtropics, suffers great losses from a root rot disease which is most probably caused by Pythium myriotylum, although it has been claimed that a complex of three root pathogens is needed to cause the disease. In this study, we compared two Pythium isolates from diseased cocoyam roots, CRPm and Bokwai, with other putative P. myriotylum isolates from culture collections and from Cameroonian soil, with respect to host range and isozyme patterns. Pathogenicity was tested on tomato, bean, cowpea, tobacco and cocoyam. CRPm and Bokwai were only pathogenic to tobacco and cocoyam. On cocoyam, these isolates caused typical symptoms within 48h on 100% of the inoculated plantlets. Only two other isolates of P. myriotylum from culture collections were moderately to weakly pathogenic to cocoyam. Isolates of P. myriotylum were very variable in their pathogenicity to bean, cowpea, tomato and tobacco. Isozyme patterns of - and -esterases were used to differentiate CRPm and Bokwai from all other isolates. Unlike the other P. myriotylum strains, cocoyam isolates were unable to grow at 37°C. Malate dehydrogenase isozyme bands originating from CRPm were consistently detected in CRPm-infected cocoyam roots grown in vitro and in vivo. These findings indicate that CRPm can penetrate cocoyam roots and cause disease in the absence of other root pathogens. This study also indicates that P. myriotylum from cocoyam developed a certain degree of host specialisation.     

Root and crown rot of strawberry caused by Pythium helicoides and its distribution in strawberry production areas of Japan

Pythium species were isolated from seedlings of strawberry with root and crown rot. The isolates were identified as P. helicoides on the basis of morphological characteristics and sequences of the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer regions. In pathogenicity tests, the isolates caused root and crown rot similar to the original disease symptoms. Multiplex PCR was used to survey pathogen occurrence in strawberry production areas of Japan. Pythium helicoides was detected in 11 of 82 fields. The pathogen is distributed over six prefectures.     

Pathogenicity of plant and soil isolates of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Phytophthora parasitica</Emphasis> on tomato and pepper

Crown and root rot of tomato and sweet pepper can be caused by Phytophthora parasitica. In this work, 23 P. parasitica isolates from diseased pepper or tomato plants as well as 54 isolates from 23 monocrop tomato soils (from Spain and Chile) and one from a pepper soil were studied for their host–pathogen response. Results show significant host specificity for the isolates from tomato plants and tomato soils (63 of 64 isolates were unable to cause disease in pepper). None of the pepper plant/soil isolates showed pathogenicity on tomato, and only four of 14 reproduced their pathogenicity on pepper. Only one tomato isolate was pathogenic to both Solanaceae species. Two different inoculation protocols were evaluated (substrate irrigation and stem cutting). All isolates which expressed pathogenicity when stem inoculated also did it when root inoculated, but not vice-versa. Therefore, the recommended test protocol for tomato and pepper breeding programmes is that based on root inoculation by irrigation.     

Detection and Identification of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Phytophthora</Emphasis> Species in Southern Italy by RFLP and Sequence Analysis of PCR-amplified Nuclear Ribosomal DNA

In four neighbouring regions of southern Italy, Basilicata, Campania, Apulia and Calabria, pepper and zucchini plants showing Phytophthora blight symptoms, tomato plants with either late blight or buckeye rot symptoms, plants of strawberry showing crown rot symptoms and declining clementine trees with root and fruit rot were examined for Phytophthora infections by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, using primers directed to nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) repeat sequences. All diseased plants and trees examined tested positive. The detected fungal-like organisms were differentiated and characterized on the basis of primer specificity as well as through extensive restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequence analysis of PCR-amplified rDNA. Phytophthora capsici was identified in diseased pepper and zucchini plants, P. infestans was identified in tomato with late blight symptoms whereas buckeye rot-affected tomatoes and diseased strawberry plants proved to be infected by P. nicotianae and P. cactorum, respectively. Declining clementine trees were infected with P. citrophthora and P. nicotianae in about the same proportion. Also, thirty-one pure culture-maintained isolates of Phytophthora which had previously been identified in southern Italy by traditional methods but were never examined molecularly, were examined by RFLP and sequence analysis of PCR-amplified nuclear rDNA. Among these, an isolate from gerbera which had previously been identified by traditional methods only at genus level, was assigned to P. tentaculata. For the remaining pure culture-maintained isolates examined, the molecular identification data obtained corresponded with those delineated by traditional methods. Most of the diseases examined were already known to occur in southern Italy but the pathogens were molecularly detected and fully characterized at nuclear rDNA repeat level only from other geographic areas, very often outside Italy. A new disease to southern Italy was the Phytophthora blight of zucchini. This is also the first report on the presence and molecular identification of P. tentaculata from Italy.     

云南葡萄产区葡萄炭疽病病原鉴定及致病力分析

为了明确引起云南葡萄产区炭疽病的病原种类,利用形态鉴定和特异性引物分子检测相结合的方法对从云南省主要葡萄产区采集的60株炭疽病菌菌株进行了鉴定。葡萄炭疽病菌菌株的菌落形态和生长速率与对照菌株尖孢炭疽菌Colletotrichum acutatum差异不明显,但其分生孢子大小显著小于尖孢炭疽菌,附着胞深褐色,球形或不规则形。胶孢炭疽菌Colletotrichum gloeosporioides特异性引物CgInt/ITS4从供试葡萄炭疽病菌菌株基因组DNA中扩增出1条约500 bp的特异性条带,而尖孢炭疽菌特异性引物CaInt2/ITS4对葡萄炭疽病菌无扩增条带。研究表明,引起云南葡萄主产区炭疽病的病原为胶孢炭疽菌;供试胶孢炭疽菌对红提葡萄均有致病力,但菌株致病力差异较大,对番茄和草莓存在交叉侵染的能力,且对多菌灵的敏感性较尖孢炭疽菌高。     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Pythium</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Phytophthora</Emphasis> species associated with root and stem rots of kalanchoe

Pythium and Phytophthora species were isolated from kalanchoe plants with root and stem rots. Phytophthora isolates were identified as Phytophthora nicotianae on the basis of morphological characteristics and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the rDNA-internal transcribed spacer regions. Similarly, the Pythium isolates were identified as Pythium myriotylum and Pythium helicoides. In pathogenicity tests, isolates of the three species caused root and stem rots. Disease severity caused by the Pythium spp. and Ph. nicotianae was the greatest at 35°–40°C and 30°–40°C, respectively. Ph. nicotianae induced stem rot at two different relative humidities (60% and >95%) at 30°C. P. myriotylum and P. helicoides caused root and stem rots at high humidity (>95%), but only root rot at low humidity (60%).     

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici races and their genetic discrimination by molecular markers in West Mediterranean region of Turkey

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (FOL) races and F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis lycopersici (FORL), the causal agents of root rot and crown rot diseases, respectively, cause serious economic losses in tomato greenhouses where production is intensive in the West Mediterranean region of Turkey. The isolates were collected from West Mediterranean region of Turkey and were characterized by specific primers based on three races (r1, r2, r3), besides pathogenicity tests in in vivo conditions Additionally, a scheme was developed using newly tested ISSR and SRAP markers to a genotyping database and to determine the possible origin of these pathogens. The present study provided new information on these pathogens based on their races and their dominant existence in this region that has not been reported before. Genetic diversity detected in the same races of the pathogen may be associated with difficulties in controlling the pathogen and a possible resistance formation effort exerted by the pathogen to chemicals used in plant protection in tomato greenhouses. Molecular analyses indicated genetic diversity in pathogen isolates identified as r3, r2 and FORL, which may be associated with abiotic stress to which the pathogens were exposed.     

Root and stem rot of chrysanthemum caused by five <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pythium</Emphasis> species in Japan

Root and stem rot with wilt of above ground parts of cultivated chrysanthemums was first found in Ibaraki, Toyama and Kagawa prefectures, Japan in 2002 and 2003. Pythium species were isolated from the diseased tissues and identified as P. dissotocum, P. oedochilum, P. sylvaticum, P. ultimum var. ultimum and asexual strains of P. helicoides based on their morphologies and sequences of rDNA-ITS region. All the Pythium species were strongly pathogenic to chrysanthemums in pot conditions and were reisolated from the inoculated plants. Because Pythium root and stem rot of chrysanthemum has never been reported in Japan, we propose that this is a new disease that can be caused by the five Pythium species.     

Root Rot of Miniature Roses Caused by Pythium helicoides

Miniature roses growing in an ebb-and-flow watering system developed dieback during the summer growing season of 1996 in Gifu Prefecture. The main diagnostic symptoms were chlorosis of leaf followed by blight, and a brown, water-soaked root rot followed by dieback. Pythium isolates were recovered from the rotted root. The isolates form proliferous ellipsoidal papillate sporangia, spherical smooth oogonia, elongate antheridia, and aplerotic oospores. The optimum temperature for hyphal growth was 35°C with a growth rate of 34 mm/24 hr. Optimum temperature of zoospore formation (25-30°C) was lower than that of mycelial growth, and zoospores were produced even at 10°C. The isolates were identified as P. helicoides on the basis of these characteristics. In pathogenicity tests disease severity was highest at the highest tested temperature (35°C) at which the disease naturally occurred in summer. Four days after inoculation, the leaves turned yellow and the roots had a water-soaked rot, followed by leaf blight and root dieback after 7 days. The disease transmission test showed that diseased plants were found throughout the bench after 10 days. Received 4 July 2001/ Accepted in revised form 10 October 2001
