RESUMO

Phytoplasmas are a group of plant prokaryotic pathogens distributed worldwide. To comprehensively reveal the diversity of the pathogens and the diseases they cause on Hainan, a tropical island with abundant biodiversity in China, a survey of phytoplasmal diseases was performed from 2009 to 2022. Herein, molecular identification and genetic analysis were conducted based on the conserved genes of phytoplasmas. The results indicated that phytoplasmas could be detected in 138 samples from 18 host plants among 215 samples suspected to be infected by the pathogens. The phytoplasma strains from 27 diseased samples of 4 host plants belonged to the 16SrI group and the strains from 111 samples of 14 hosts belonged to the 16SrII group. Among them, 12 plants, including important tropical cash crops such as Phoenix dactylifera, cassava, sugarcane, and Piper nigrum, were first identified as hosts of phytoplasmas on Hainan Island. Based on BLAST and iPhyClassifier analyses, seven novel 16Sr subgroups were proposed to describe the relevant phytoplasma strains, comprising the 16SrI-AP, 16SrI-AQ, and 16SrI-AR subgroups within the 16SrI group and the 16SrII-Y, 16SrII-Z, 16SrII-AB, and 16SrII-AC subgroups within the 16SrII group. Genetic variation and phylogenetic analysis indicated that the phytoplasma strains identified in this study and those reported previously on Hainan Island mainly belong to four 16Sr groups (including I, II, V, and XXXII) and could infect 44 host plants, among which the 16SrI and 16SrII groups were the prevalent 16Sr groups associated with 43 host plant species. The diversity of host plants infected by the phytoplasmas made it difficult to monitor and control their related diseases. Therefore, strengthening inspection and quarantine during the introduction and transit of the related phytoplasmal host crops would effectively curb the spread and prevalence of the phytoplasmas and their related lethal diseases.

RESUMO

The cucurbit vegetable chieh-qua (Benincasa hispida var. chieh-qua How) is an important crop in South China and southeast Asian countries. Viral diseases cause substantial loss of chieh-qua yield. To identify the viruses that affect chieh-qua in China, ribosomal RNA-depleted total RNA sequencing was performed using chieh-qua leaf samples with typical viral symptoms. The virome of chieh-qua comprises four known viruses (melon yellow spot virus (MYSV), cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV), papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) and watermelon silver mottle virus (WSMoV) and two novel viruses: cucurbit chlorotic virus (CuCV) in the genus Crinivirus and chieh-qua endornavirus (CqEV) in the genus Alphaendornavirus. The complete genomes of the two novel viruses in chieh-qua and three other isolates of CuCV in pumpkin, watermelon and cucumber were determined and the recombination signals of pumpkin and watermelon isolates of CuCV were detected. A reverse transcriptase PCR indicated that the dominant viruses of chieh-qua in Hainan are MYSV (66.67%) and CCYV (55.56%), followed by CuCV (27.41%), WSMoV (7.41%), cucumber mosaic virus (8.15%), zucchini yellow mosaic virus (6.67%), PRSV (6.67%) and CqEV (35.56%). Our findings support diagnostic and prevalence studies of viruses infecting chieh-qua in China, enabling sustainable control strategies for cucurbit viruses worldwide.

RESUMO

Colletotrichum siamense was demonstrated as the dominant species among Colletotrichum spp. that infected rubber tree, areca palm, and coffee in Hainan, China. However, the extent of genetic differentiation within the species C. siamense in relation to geographical regions and host species is not known. In this study, 112 C. siamense isolates were genotyped with 12 microsatellite markers. In total, there were 99 multilocus genotypes. Results from permutational multivariate analysis of variance and analysis of molecular variance indicated that there was no significant genetic differentiation between fungal populations with respect to host, location (county), and year. Discriminant analysis of principal components and STRUCTURE analysis showed that C. siamense isolates grouped into three clusters; further analysis confirmed that there were significant (P < 0.001) genetic differences among the three clusters. However, each cluster had isolates from different hosts, counties, or years, supporting the lack of genetic differentiation with respect to host, county, and year. Statistical analyses of allelic associations indicated some evidence for recombination within the populations defined on the basis of host or county. The present findings provide insights into the genetic structure of C. siamense on the three perennial host species in Hainan and suggest that the disease on these three crops can be effectively considered as one disease and, hence, needs to be controlled simultaneously in mixed plantations.

RESUMO

Genus Colletotrichum is one of the most important genera of plant-pathogenic fungi affecting numerous species, particularly tropical and subtropical crops and fruit trees. In this study, 43 Colletotrichum strains were isolated from areca palm leaves with anthracnose symptoms in 11 areca palm plantations in eight counties of Hainan, China. Based on the morphology, phylogenetic analysis of six loci (internal transcribed spacer, actin, chitin synthase 1, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, ß-tubulin, and mating type locus MAT1-2), and pathogenicity tests, eight Colletotrichum species were distinguished, comprising five previously known species (C. cordylinicola, C. fructicola, C. gloeosporioides, C. siamense, and C. tropicale), one unidentified Colletotrichum species, a new species (C. arecicola) in the gloeosporioides species complex, and C. karstii in the boninense species complex. C. siamense was the most common species found in areca palm in Hainan, followed by C. arecicola. Pathogenicity tests showed that all eight species could cause anthracnose symptoms on areca palm leaves using a wound inoculation method and that the isolates from the gloeosporioides species complex caused larger lesions than the isolates from the boninense species complex. Further research is needed to understand the epidemiology of these pathogenic species on areca palm in order to develop management strategies.

RESUMO

Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and C. acutatum have been reported to be causal agents of anthracnose disease of rubber tree. Recent investigations have shown that both C. gloeosporioides and C. acutatum are species complexes. The identities of Colletotrichum species causing anthracnose disease of rubber tree in Hainan, China, are unknown. In this study, 106 isolates obtained from rubber tree with symptoms of anthracnose were collected from 12 counties of Hainan and identified at the species complex level based on the ITS sequences and colony morphologies. Seventy-four isolates were identified as C. gloeosporioides species complex and the other 32 isolates as C. acutatum species complex. Forty-two isolates were selected for further multilocus phylogenetic analyses in order to identify the isolates to the species level. Twenty-six isolates from the C. gloeosporioides species complex were characterized for partial sequences of seven gene regions (ACT, TUB2, CHS-1, GAPDH, ITS, ApMat, and GS), and the other 16 isolates from the C. acutatum species complex for five gene regions (ACT, TUB2, CHS-1, GAPDH, and ITS). Three species were identified: C. siamense and C. fructicola from the C. gloeosporioides species complex, and a new species C. wanningense from the C. acutatum species complex. Artificial inoculation of rubber tree leaves confirmed the pathogenicity of the three species. The present study improves the understanding of species causing anthracnose on rubber tree and provides useful information for the effective control of the disease.

RESUMO

Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and C. acutatum species complexes are causal agents of Colletotrichum leaf disease (CLD) of rubber trees worldwide. To determine the geographic distribution of Colletotrichum species complexes associated with CLD of rubber trees in Hainan, China, and their sensitivity to fungicides used in the region, a total of 275 Colletotrichum isolates were collected from 52 rubber tree plantations in 11 counties. These isolates were identified based jointly on morphological characteristics and PCR-based methodology. Of these isolates, 78 and 22% belonged to the C. gloeosporioides species complex (CGSC) and the C. acutatum complex (CASC), respectively. The incidence of CGSC isolates was greater than the CASC in all counties sampled. The incidence of CASC isolates appeared to be lower in the western and central south of Hainan than in other regions. There was no association in their presence at a given plantation between the two species complexes. The in vitro sensitivity of these two species complexes to carbendazim, chlorothalonil, and four demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides (difenoconazole, propiconazole, myclobutanil, and prochloraz) was determined. Carbendazim was effective against CGSC but not against CASC with mean ED50 values of 0.176 and 2.182 µg/ml, respectively. CASC isolates were more sensitive to difenoconazole, propiconazole, and myclobutanil (mean ED50 values of 0.177, 0.129, and 1.424 µg/ml, respectively) than CGSC isolates (mean ED50 values of 0.710, 0.348, and 3.496 µg/ml, respectively). Mean ED50 values of CGSC against chlorothalonil and prochloraz were 173.341 and 0.035 µg/ml, respectively; corresponding values for CASC were 151.441 and 0.040 µg/ml. These results suggest that prochloraz, propiconazole, and difenoconazole are effective against both species complexes.

RESUMO

Papaya is an important fruit crop cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. Papaya little leaf (PLL) disease was observed in China. The phytoplasma 16S rRNA gene was detected from symptomatic papaya trees via PCR using phytoplasma universal primers P1/P7 followed by R16F2n/R16R2. No amplification products were obtained from templates of asymptomatic papaya trees. These results indicated a direct association between phytoplasma infection and PLL disease. Comparative and phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the papaya-infecting phytoplasmas under study belonged to the peanut witches' broom phytoplasma group (16SrII). Genotyping through use of computer-simulated RFLP analysis of 16S rRNA genes and coefficients of RFLP pattern similarities (0.97) reveal that the PLL phytoplasma was placed in a new subgroup. In this article, we describe the molecular characterization of a new phytoplasma associated with PLL disease and propose that the PLL phytoplasma be considered as a novel subgroup, 16SrII-U.
