Frogeye Leaf Spot

Frogeye leaf spot of soybean, caused by the fungus Cercospora sojina, reduces soybean yields in most of the top-producing countries around the world. Control strategies for frogeye leaf spot can rely heavily on quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicides. In 2010, QoI fungicide-resistant C. sojina isolates were identified in Tennessee for the first time. As the target of QoI fungicides, the cytochrome b gene present in fungal mitochondria has played a key role in the development of resistance to this fungicide class. The cytochrome b genes from three QoI-sensitive and three QoI-resistant C. sojina isolates were cloned and sequenced. The complete coding sequence of the cytochrome b gene was identified and found to encode 396 amino acids. The QoI-resistant C. sojina isolates contained the G143A mutation in the cytochrome b gene, a guanidine to cytosine transversion at the second position in codon 143 that causes an amino acid substitution of alanine for glycine. C. sojina-specific polymerase chain reaction primer sets and TaqMan probes were developed to efficiently discriminate QoI-resistant and -sensitive isolates. The molecular basis of QoI fungicide resistance in field isolates of C. sojina was identified as the G143A mutation, and specific molecular approaches were developed to discriminate and to track QoI-resistant and -sensitive isolates of C. sojina.

Important Disease

Frogeye leaf spot, caused by Cercospora sojina, is an important disease of soybean (Glycine max) in the United States. An important tactic to manage frogeye leaf spot is to apply foliar fungicides. Isolates of C. sojina were collected from soybean fields in one county in Michigan, three counties in Minnesota, and 10 counties in Nebraska in 2019, and they were tested for resistance to quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicides using a discriminatory dose assay, a PCR assay, and DNA sequencing. Results of the testing indicated that QoI fungicide-resistant isolates were detected in isolates from all counties. Testing results also indicated that the G143A mutation was responsible for the QoI fungicide resistance. This is the first report of QoI fungicide-resistant C. sojina isolates in Michigan, Minnesota, and Nebraska and expands the geographical distribution of QoI fungicide-resistant C. sojina isolates to 18 states in total.

Severity Levels

Frogeye leaf spot of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) caused by Cercospora sojina Hara was reported to be severe from 1998 to 1999 in northwest Argentina (2). Although the disease was detected at low prevalence (5 to 25%), incidence, and severity in the Pampean Region from 2005 to 2008, no severe outbreaks have been recorded in the provinces of Córdoba, Santa Fe, and Buenos Aires. During the 2008–2009 growing season, disease spread rapidly throughout most soybean-growing areas of the Pampean Region. Disease was observed on almost all varieties of maturity group (MG) III, IV, and V. Symptoms on leaves were circular, reddish brown-to-gray spots (1 to 6 mm) and bordered by typical, narrow, reddish purple margins. Morphology of the fungi was examined on infected tissues. Conidiophores were light-to-dark brown, fasciculate, geniculate, and measured 110 to 203 μm long. Conidia were 1 to 9 septate, hyaline, elongate to fusiform, and measured 26 to 111 (47.3 ± 14.7) × 5.2 to 7.4 μm (6.1 ± 0.7). Pathogenicity tests were conducted on seedlings of a susceptible cultivar by spraying leaves of each of 80 plants at the V3 growth stage with 18 ml of a conidial suspension (3 × 104 conidia/ml) with a hand-held atomizer. Plants were covered with plastic bags and placed in a greenhouse at 28 to 30°C for 48 h. The plastic bags were removed and plants were maintained in high humidity at the same temperature. The same number of noninoculated plants was used as controls. After 10 to 12 days, all inoculated plants showed typical symptoms. Koch's postulates were fulfilled by isolating C. sojina from inoculated plants. Control plants remained healthy. Foliar lesions and morphological characteristics of the pathogen were consistent with C. sojina (1). Disease assessments were made for the middle and upper canopy from 15 arbitrarily collected plants. Soybean plants were in growth stages between R3 and R5 during the survey. Incidence (percentage of plants affected) and severity (percentage of leaf area affected with lesions) were visually estimated from each of the 30 soybean-production fields located in Monte Cristo, Alta Gracia, Jesús María, W. Escalante, Monte Buey, (10 fields, Córdoba Province), Venado Tuerto, Villa Cañás, Cristophersen, María Teresa, (12 fields, Santa Fe Province), Pergamino, Rojas, and Salto (8 fields, Buenos Aires Province). Incidence was 100% in all fields from Córdoba and Santa Fe. Incidence in Buenos Aires was 0 to 100%. Highest severity levels were quantified from fields in Córdoba (severity of 30 to 60%). Lesions also developed on stems and pods. In samples from Buenos Aires, severity levels were ≤10% in the eight soybean fields. Number of lesions per leaflet was recorded from central leaflets in samples from Monte Cristo, Alta Gracia, Venado Tuerto, and María Teresa with 20 to 55 typical lesions per leaflet. Since the disease was always more important in northwest Argentina, genetic resistance is more commonly available in varieties of MG VII to VIII, so most of the varieties of MG III, IV, and V frequently planted in Pampean Region are susceptible. This fact in combination with rainfall, warm temperatures, and high relative humidity in no-till fields during this summer have encouraged the severe outbreak of frogeye leaf spot, especially in the province of Córdoba and in some regions of Santa Fe.

Frogeye leaf spot (FLS) caused by Cercospora sojina Hara is a disease of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] that causes significant seed yield loss in warm, humid environments worldwide. The Rcs3 gene in soybean has been reported to condition resistance to all known races of C. sojina. The objectives of this study were to: (i) identify maturity group (MG) I to VI accessions resistant to C. sojina race 11 by field screening at two locations; and (ii) determine if the FLS resistance of the symptomless soybean accessions is likely to be conditioned by the Rcs3 allele. A total of 260 accessions including 12 differentials were evaluated for reaction to race 11 in field trials in Missouri and Illinois during 2009, and 20 accessions that did not develop symptoms were retested in 2010 to validate their resistance. The 20 accessions remained resistant and were tested for the potential presence of Rcs3 allele using molecular markers; and none was predicted to carry the Rcs3 allele. These accessions may contain novel loci for FLS resistance and may be used to broaden the base for developing soybean cultivars with frogeye leaf spot resistance.

Frogeye leaf spot (FLS), caused by the fungal pathogen Cercospora sojina K. Hara, is a foliar disease of soybean (Glycine max L. (Merr.)) responsible for yield reductions throughout the major soybean producing regions in the world. In the United States, management of FLS relies heavily on the use of resistant cultivars and in-season fungicide applications, specifically within the class of quinone outside inhibitors (QoIs), which has resulted in the development of fungicide resistance in many states. In 2018 and 2019, 80 isolates of C. sojina were collected from six counties in Georgia and screened for QoI fungicide resistance using molecular and in vitro assays, with resistant isolates being confirmed from three counties. Additionally, 50 isolates, including a “baseline isolate” with no prior fungicide exposure, were used to determine the percent reduction of mycelial growth to two fungicides, azoxystrobin and pyraclostrobin, at six concentrations: 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 g ml-1. Mycelial growth observed for resistant isolates varied significantly from both the sensitive isolates and the baseline isolate for azoxystrobin concentrations of 10, 1, 0.1, and 0.01 g ml-1 and for pyraclostrobin concentrations of 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 g ml-1. Moreover, 40 isolates were used to evaluate pathogen race on six soybean differential cultivars by assessing susceptible or resistant reactions. Isolate reactions suggested 12 races of C. sojina present in Georgia, four of which have not been previously described. Species richness indicators (rarefaction and abundance-based coverage estimator - ACE) indicated that within-county C. sojina race numbers were undersampled in the present study, suggesting the potential for the presence of either additional undescribed races or known but unaccounted for races in Georgia. However, no isolates were pathogenic on differential cultivar ‘Davis’, carrying the Rcs3 resistance allele, suggesting the gene is still an effective source of resistance in Georgia.

Glycine Max L

The soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] crop holds a prominent position in the Brazilian economy because of the extension of the planted area and volume of grain production, but the beany flavor has been a limiting factor for soybean derivatives consumption by western population. This flavor is produced mainly by action of lipoxygenase enzymes (Lox1, Lox2 and Lox3), present in some commercial varieties. The genetic elimination of the alleles that codify these enzymes is the most appropriate way to avoid problems associated to this deleterious flavor. To elucidate the effect of seed lipoxygenase elimination on the resistance to plant pathogens, normal varieties of soybean (FT-Cristalina RCH, Doko RC and IAC-12) and their backcross-derived lines, both with the three lipoxygenases present in their seeds (triple-positive, TP) and without the three lipoxygenases (triple-null, TN), were tested for their resistance to stem canker (Diaporthe phaseolorum f.sp. meridionalis), frogeye leaf spot (Cercospora sojina Hara), and powdery mildew (Microsphaera diffusa Cke. & Pk.). All genetic materials studied were resistant to stem canker. FT-Cristalina RCH and Doko-RC and their TP and TN lines were resistant to frogeye leaf spot. IAC-12 and its derived lines not only presented a higher disease index, but also the derived lines, TP and TN, were more susceptible, indicating the loss of genes for disease resistance in the backcrosses. There was no association between the elimination of lipoxygenases from the seeds with the resistance to frogeye leaf spot. In relation to the powdery mildew, TP or TN lines presented similar or higher resistance than their respective recurrent parents whose susceptibility appeared in the following order: IAC-12, less susceptible, Doko-RC, intermediate and FT-Cristalina RCH, more susceptible.

Frogeye Leaf Spot

Isolates of Cercospora sojina, causal agent of frogeye leaf spot of soybean (Glycine max), were collected across Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia and were evaluated for quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicide resistance. Collection of these isolates from these 14 states occurred between 2010 and 2017. QoI fungicide-resistant C. sojina isolates were detected in all 14 states surveyed and represent a total of 240 counties or parishes. In 2017, these 240 counties and parishes represented approximately 13% of the harvested soybean hectares in the United States. In light of this widespread occurrence of QoI fungicide-resistant C. sojina isolates, management of frogeye leaf spot should focus on integrated management practices such as planting resistant soybean cultivars, rotating with nonhost crops, and tilling to speed up decomposition of infested soybean residue. When foliar fungicide application is warranted, fungicide products that contain active ingredients from chemistry classes other than the QoI class should be applied for frogeye leaf spot management.
