Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex Adr. Juss) Müll. Arg.) is used for the extraction of natural rubber and is an economically and socially important estate crop commodity in many Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, China and several countries in Africa (Pu et al, 2007). Xishuangbanna City and Wenshan City are the main rubber cultivation areas in Yunnan Province, China. In November 2012, rubber tree showing typical wilt symptoms (Fig. 1 A) and vascular stains (Fig. 1 B) were found in Mengla County, Xishuangbanna City. This disease was destructive in these trees and plant wilt death rate reached 5%. The diseased wood pieces (0.5cm long) from trunk of rubber was surface disinfected with 75% ethanol for 30s and 0.1% mercuric chloride (HgCl2) for 2min, rinsed three times with sterile distilled water, plated onto malt extract agar medium (MEA), and incubated at 28℃. After 7 days, fungal-like filaments were growing from the diseased trunk. Six cultures from 6 rubber trunkratocystis fimbriata previously in Brazil (Valdetaro et al. 2015), and wilt by Ch. thielavioides was not reported. The asexual states of most species in Ceratocystis are "chalara" or "thielaviopsis" (de Beer et al. 2014). To our knowledge, this is the first report of this fungus causing wilt of rubber in China. The spread of this disease may pose a threat to rubber production in China.Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) is the etiological agent of kiwifruit canker disease, causing severe economic losses in kiwifruit production areas around the world. Rapid diagnosis, understanding of bacterial virulence and rate of infection in kiwifruit cultivars is important in applying effective measures of disease control. learn more Psa load in kiwifruit is currently determined by a labor-intense colony counting method with no high-throughput and specific quantification method being validated. In this work we used three alternative Psa quantification methods in two infected kiwifruit cultivars start of growth time, quantitative qPCR (qPCR), and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR). Method performance in each case was compared to the colony counting method. Methods were validated using calibration curves obtained with serial dilutions of Psa3 inoculum and standard growth curves obtained from kiwifruit samples infected with Psa3 inoculum. All three alternative methods showed high correlation (r > 0.85) with the colony counting method. qPCR and ddPCR were very specific, sensitive (5 × 102 CFU/cm2), highly correlated to each other (r = 0.955) and flexible allowing for sample storage. The inclusion of a kiwifruit biomass marker increased the methods' accuracy. The qPCR method was efficient and allowed for high-throughput processing and the ddPCR method showed highly accurate results but was more expensive and time consuming. While not ideal for high-throughput processing, ddPCR was useful in developing accurate standard curves for the qPCR method. The combination of the two methods is high-throughput, specific for Psa3 quantification and useful for research studies e.g. disease phenotyping and host-pathogen interactions.Chinese quince (Pseudocydonia sinensis (Thouin) CK Schneid.), a deciduous tree in the family Rosaceae, is native to China, Japan, and South Korea; the fruit is known as mogwa in South Korea. The ripened yellow fruit has been used as a traditional therapeutic for respiratory ailments and as an additive in health products such as syrups, tea, and candies (Sawai et al. 2008). From May to August 2020, Chinese quince trees showing symptoms of brown spots were observed on the Kyungpook National University premises, Daegu, South Korea, with an incidence of 30%-40%. The disease first appeared as small, round, yellow specks on the fruits, which necrotized over time and gradually enlarged to 0.7-2.7 cm in diameter. To isolate the pathogen, symptomatic tissues obtained from disease fruit were surface sterilized for 1 min with 70% ethanol, rinsed in sterile distilled water, and plated onto potato dextrose agar (PDA). The inoculated plates were incubated at 25°C for 7 days. Successively, pure cultures were obtained by tragy of the fungus re-isolated from the inoculated fruit was the same as that of D. rubi-ulmifolii. The phylogeny, together with the morphological identification and inoculation results, confirmed the identity of the fungus as D. rubi-ulmifolii (Ariyawansa et al. 2014). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of D. rubi-ulmifolii causing brown spot in Chinese quince.Grapevine downy mildew (GDM) is one of the most serious diseases of grapevines. Limitations for the use of copper-based products in organic agriculture according to EU Regulation EU/2002/473 and the later EU Commission Implementing Regulation 2018/1981 has promoted a search for alternatives. This 5-year field trial evaluated the effectiveness against GDM of several strategies using different chitosan-based formulations and application rates in comparison with other natural compounds, with these applied individually or with copper hydroxide. Trials were run in commercial vineyards, with different environmental conditions and grapevine cultivars. For the natural compounds applied as individual treatments, a 0.5%/0.8% chitosan formulation provided the best protection against GDM, with the other compounds and formulations less effective. When copper hydroxide use was halved by combination with these natural compounds according to three different strategies, GDM incidence, severity and McKinney Index were reduced, in particular for copper hydroxide applied in combinations with the 0.5%/0.8% chitosan formulation, rather than with a mixture of laminarin and Saccharomyces spp. extract. The 0.5%/0.8% chitosan formulation alone and with copper hydroxide provided good protection against GDM for both high-pressure and low-pressure disease seasons. Chitosan thus represents a good alternative to copper formulations for control of GDM for both organic and integrated disease management.Multiple Colletotrichum species have been found to be responsible for strawberry anthracnose, and prevalence of each species seems to vary by regions and/or host tissues. In this study, a total of 200 Colletotrichum isolates were obtained from different strawberry cultivars displaying anthracnose symptoms in the Mid-Atlantic fields. Analysis of g3pdh, tub2, and/or ITS sequences revealed four Colletotrichum species, including C. nymphaeae, C. fioriniae, C. siamense, and C. lineola. C. nymphaeae was the predominant species, representing 90% of all isolates collected. This species was found from all strawberry organs/tissues examined, whereas C. siamense and C. fioriniae were limited to the crown and fruit, respectively. Further, all Colletotrichum isolates were screened for resistance to azoxystrobin in vitro, and all C. siamense isolates were additionally screened for resistance to thiophanate-methyl. link2 The overall frequency of resistance to azoxystrobin and thiophanate-methyl was 48.0 % and 67.0 %, respectively. G143A in the cytochrome b gene (cyt b) was found in all C. nymphaeae and C. siamense isolates with high level of resistance, with EC50 > 100 µg/ml, while F129L was found in two of the five C. nymphaeae isolates with moderate resistance, with EC50 values ranging from 2.6 to 7.8 µg/ml. All C. fioriniae isolates tested were found to be less sensitive to azoxystrobin, with EC50 values ranging from 9.7 to 14.4 µg/ml, despite no mutations detected in cyt b. Moreover, E198A in tub2 was linked with C. siamense isolates resistant to thiophanate-methyl (EC50 > 100 µg/ml). These results revealed that resistance in Colletotrichum spp. to primary fungicides was widespread in the Mid-Atlantic strawberry fields.Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) has significant socioeconomic relevance in Brazil and other developing countries, as one of the main sources of carbohydrates for human and animal consumption (De Oliviera et al., 2011). Among the cassava crop diseases, anthracnose is one of the main limiting factors for production and may be caused by species like Colletotrichum plurivorum, C. karstii, C. fructicola, and C. siamense (Bragança et al., 2016; Liu et al., 2019; Oliveira et al., 2016; Sangpueak; Phansak; Buensanteai, 2018). Severity in the field is variable, depending on the resistance of the variety used and is also highly influenced by the climate, being the most severe disease under high humidity and high temperature. Under these conditions, it can cause losses of up to 100%. In 2019, cassava leaves presenting dark brown necrotic injuries of different sizes and irregular borders-typical anthracnose symptoms- were collected from commercial plantations in the states of Pará and Tocantins, Brazil. Symptomatic ti In Brazil, anthracnose by C. chrysophillum was reported in cashew (Veloso et al., 2018) and banana trees (Vieira et al., 2017). To our knowledge, this is the first report of cassava anthracnose disease by C. chrysophillum.Among the diseases that have the potential to cause damage to flax every year, pasmo, caused by Septoria linicola, is the most important. Fungicide application and a diverse crop rotation are the most important strategies to control this disease because there is little variation in resistance among flax cultivars. link3 However, few fungicide products are available to flax growers. Field studies were conducted at four locations in Western Canada in 2014, 2015 and 2016 to determine the effect of two fungicide active ingredients applied singly and in combination pyraclostrobin, fluxapyroxad and fluxapyroxad+pyraclostrobin; and two application timings (early-flower, mid-flower and at both stages) on pasmo severity, seed yield and quality of flaxseed. The results indicated that among the three fungicide treatments, both pyraclostrobin and fluxapyroxad+pyraclostrobin controlled pasmo effectively, however, fluxapyroxad+pyraclostrobin was the most beneficial to improve the quality and quantity of the seed at most of the sThe soil-borne pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotorium is the causal agent of sclerotinia stem rot, a severe disease of broad-leaf crops including canola/rapeseed Brassica napus that can result in significant yield losses. Sclerotia, the hard melanized resting structure of the pathogen, requires preconditioning before carpogenic germination can occur. We investigated the effect of pre-conditioning temperature (4°C, 20°C, 35°C, 50°C and field conditions) and duration (0, 30, 60, 120, 179, 240, 301 days) on germination of S. sclerotorium sclerotia collected from five canola fields in the south-western Australian grain-belt. The ecological diversity of each population was characterised using mycelial compatibility groups (MCGs) typing. No response was observed for isolates conditioned at 4°C at any time period indicating chilling is not a preconditioning requirement for these isolates. Sclerotia required preconditioning for a minimum of 60 days before any significant increase in germination occurred, with no further increases in germination recorded in response to longer conditioning after 60 days. The highest germination was observed in sclerotia conditioned at 50°C. The MCG results indicated significant within and between population diversity suggesting local adaptation to different environments as well as ensuring the ability to respond to seasonal variation between years.
