Toxigenicity and pathogenicity of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Fusarium poae</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Fusarium avenaceum</Emphasis> on wheat

In a field experiment between 2004 and 2006, 14 winter wheat varieties were inoculated with either a mixture of three isolates of F. poae or a mixture of three isolates of F. avenaceum. In a subsequent climate chamber experiment, the wheat variety Apogee was inoculated with individual single conidium isolates derived from the original poly conidium isolates used in the field. Disease symptoms on wheat heads were visually assessed, and the yield as well as the fungal incidence on harvested grains (field only) was determined. Furthermore, grains were analysed using LC-MS/MS to determine the content of Fusarium mycotoxins. In samples from field and climate chamber experiments, 60 to 4,860 μg kg⁻¹ nivalenol and 2,400 to 17,000 μg kg⁻¹ moniliformin were detected in grains infected with F. poae and F. avenaceum, respectively. Overall, isolate mixtures and individual isolates of F. avenaceum proved to be more pathogenic than those of F. poae, leading to a higher disease level, yield reductions up to 25%, and greater toxin contamination. For F. poae, all variables except for yield were strongly influenced by variety (field) and by isolate (climate chamber). For F. avenaceum, variety had a strong effect on all variables, but isolate effects on visual disease were not reflected in toxin production. Correlations between visual symptoms, fungal incidence, and toxin accumulation in grains are discussed.     

Vegetative compatibility groups in Colletotrichum coccodes from Turkey and their aggressiveness to potato

Black dot, caused by Colletotrichum coccodes, is a common disease of potato in Turkey, affecting tuber quality and yield. The objectives of the current study were to characterize vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) of C. coccodes isolates from three regions in Turkey, and to assess the correlation between VCGs and aggressiveness of isolates on potato. A total of 147 C. coccodes isolates were recovered from plants showing typical black dot symptoms on stolons, roots and stems. The frequency of nitrate non‐utilizing (nit) nit1/nit3 and NitM phenotypes were 79% and 21%, respectively. Complementation between nit mutants of the isolates and eight European/Israeli EU/I‐VCG tester isolates was used to characterize the VCGs. Amongst the tested isolates, 33.3% were assigned to EU/I‐VCG6, 21.8% to EU/I‐VCG8, 15.7% to EU/I‐VCG4. EU/I‐VCG1, EU/I‐VCG3, EU/I‐VCG5 and EU/I‐VCG7 were classified at 1.4%, 3.4%, 4.8% and 5.4%, frequency, respectively. No isolate was assigned to EU/I‐VCG2 group, while 21 isolates (14.3%) were not assigned to any of the EU/I‐VCGs. The pathogenicity tests indicated significant differences in aggressiveness of the isolates with respect to sclerotia density on potato tissues. The highest densities of sclerotia on roots and crown were obtained with EU/I‐VCG6 isolates and the lowest with EU/I‐VCG1, EU/I‐VCG3 and EU/I‐VCG5 isolates. The results demonstrate that there is significant VCG diversity among C. coccodes isolates from potato plants in Turkey.     

Genetic analysis and PCR-based identification of major <Emphasis Type="Italic">Fusarium</Emphasis> species causing head blight on wheat in Japan

Identifying the Fusarium species cause Fusarium head blight (FHB) and produces mycotoxins in wheat and other cereal is difficult and time consuming because of confusing phenotypic classification systems. In Japan, the F. graminearum complex, F. culmorum, F. avenaceum, and Microdochium nivale predominantly cause FHB. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 5.8S of rDNA, a partial sequence of β-tubulin and mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) genes of the four species were PCR-amplified and analyzed. On the basis of the ITS, β-tubulin and cytb sequences, F. avenaceum and M. nivale are distinct from the F. graminearum complex and F. culmorum, whereas the F. graminearum complex is closely related to F. culmorum. Moreover, thiophanate–methyl-resistant isolates of the F. graminearum complex and F. culmorum did not have an amino acid substitution at amino acid codon 198 or 200 of β-tubulin. In contrast, very highly or highly thiophanate–methyl-resistant isolates of M. nivale had Glu (GAG) substituted with Ala (GCG) or Lys (AAG) at codon 198, respectively. The allele-specific PCR assay was used to identify the F. graminearum complex and F. culmorum, and these Fusarium species could be distinguished rapidly.     

Genetic variation in Fusarium avenaceum causing root rot on field pea

Isolates of Fusarium spp. were recovered from the roots of field pea (Pisum sativum) collected from 15 commercial fields in Alberta, Canada. Most of the isolates (75 out of 96) were identified as F. avenaceum, based on morphology, phylogeny and species‐specific PCR amplification. Molecular differences in the F. avenaceum isolates were detected based on putative mating type, and on ITS and CPN60 sequences. MAT‐1 and MAT‐2 were equally distributed among the isolates. Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS and CPN60 sequences clustered most of the F. avenaceum isolates into a single group. In some cases, isolates with low aggressiveness clustered together in additional groups. There was no correlation between phylogenetic profile and either mating type or geographic origin. This population of F. avenaceum has a low level of genetic variation and consists of isolates derived from the two mating types. Isolates with low aggressiveness are also retained in the population.     

Studies on in vitro Growth and Pathogenicity of European Fusarium Fungi

The effect of temperature on the in vitro growth rates and pathogenicity of a European Fusarium collection consisting of isolates of Fusarium graminearum, F. culmorum, F. avenaceum, F. poae and Microdochium nivale was examined. Irrespective of geographic origin, the optimum temperature for the growth of F. graminearum, F. culmorum and F. poae was 25 °C, while that for F. avenaceum and M. nivale was 20 °C. In general, the growth rates of F. graminearum, F. culmorum and F. poae increased between 10 and 25 °C and those of F. avenaceum and M. nivale increased between 10 and 20 °C. Pathogenicity tests were carried out by examining the effect of the five species on the in vitro coleoptile growth rate of wheat seedlings (cv. Falstaff). Irrespective of geographic origin, the temperature at which F. avenaceum, F. culmorum and F. graminearum caused the greatest retardation in coleoptile growth ranges 20–25 °C (>89.3% reduction), whilst for F. poae and M. nivale it was 10–15 °C (>45.6% retardation), relative to uninoculated control seedlings. In general, F. culmorum and F. graminearum were the most pathogenic of the five species, causing at least a 69% reduction in coleoptile growth at 10, 15, 20 and 25 °C. General linear model analysis (GLIM) showed that species accounted for 51.3–63.4% of the variation in isolate growth and from 19.5% to 44.3% of the variation in in vitro pathogenicity. Country of origin contributed from 22.6% to 51.9% to growth rate variation and from 0.73% to 7.61% to pathogenicity variation. The only significant correlation between in vitro growth and pathogenicity was that observed for M. nivale at 15 °C (r = -0.803, P < 0.05).     

Transmission of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Colletotrichum coccodes via</Emphasis> tomato seeds

Anthracnose of tomato caused by Colletotrichum coccodes is a devastating disease of ripe fruits. This pathogen may also infect tomato roots, stems and leaves. In the present study, C. coccodes is shown to be capable of contaminating seeds collected from artificially inoculated tomato fruits. Seedlings germinating from these infected seeds exhibited disease symptoms and therefore may transmit the pathogen to the next crop. The proportion of infected seeds ranged between 20% and 63% in all C. coccodes isolates tested and correlated with the aggressiveness of the isolates to tomato fruits. Fungicidal treatment of the collected seeds reduced, but did not eliminate, seed infection. A transgenic C. coccodes isolate expressing green fluorescent protein was used to visualize the pathogen. Mycelium was observed both on surfaces of the seed coat and within 1% of the embryos.     

Ribosomal DNA Sequence Comparisons of Colletotrichum Graminicola from Turfgrasses and other Hosts

The 5.8S ribosomal gene and the flanking internal transcribed spacers (ITS) 1 and 2 from Colletotrichum graminicola isolates causing anthracnose disease of Agrostis palustris and Poa species were sequenced. Although bootstrap support was not high, two major groups were observed with both UPGMA and parsimony algorithms, one containing isolates from A. palustris and another with isolates from Poa spp. The ITS sequences were also compared with those of isolates of C. graminicola and C. sublineolum from Sorghum spp., Zea mays and Rottboellia cochinchinesis as well as other Colletotrichum species. Except for one isolate from P. annua in Texas, the ITS1 and ITS2 sequences of turfgrass isolates always grouped separately from C. graminicola or C. sublineolum from non-turfgrass hosts with high bootstrap support. ITS sequences of the turfgrass isolates were more similar to those of other species of Colletotrichum, such as C. coccodes and C. dematium, than they were to C. graminicola isolates from other hosts. Turfgrass isolates have ITS sequences which are not identical to those of isolates from Zea mays and Sorghum species demonstrating diversity among fungi conventionally classified as C. graminicola.
