Stem Cankers

Dragon fruit or pitahaya (Hylocereus spp.) is a tropical fruit belonging to the Cactaceae. It is native to Central and South America and commercially grown in the United States in southern California, south Florida and Puerto Rico. During a disease survey from April to June 2020, stem canker was observed in greenhouses and commercial orchards located in Mayaguez and San Sebastian, Puerto Rico with an incidence of 80%. Diseased cladodes (stems) of 1 mm2 tissue sections of 23 pitahaya varieties (NOI-13, NOI-14, NOI-16, N97-15, N97-17, N97-18, N97-20, N97-22, American Beauty, Cosmic Charlie, Halley’s comet, Purple Haze, Alice, Bloody Mary, Dark Star, David Bowie, Delight, Makisupa, Red Jaina, Soul Kitchen, Vietnamese Jaina, Neitzel and Lisa) were disinfested with 70% ethanol, rinsed with double distilled water and plated on potato dextrose agar (PDA) amended with 60 mg/L streptomycin. Three isolates (17B-173-T3, 12C-118-T1 and 13B-131-T2) of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum (syn. N. hyalinum) were identified using taxonomic keys (Crous et al., 2006) and sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) with primers ITS5 and ITS4 (White et al. 1990) and translation elongation factor 1 alpha (TEF1-α) with primers EF1-728F and EF1-986R (Carbone and Kohn, 1999). Sequences were compared using the BLASTn tool with N. dimidiatum deposited in NCBI GenBank. In PDA, colonies of N. dimidiatum were initially powdery white and turned grayish-black with age. Arthroconidia (n=50) were dark brown, disarticulating, truncate or cylindrical at the base, thick-walled with 0 to 1 septum, averaging 9.1 X 5.5um in length. GenBank accession numbers of N. dimidiatum DNA sequences were MT921260, MT921261 and MT921262 for ITS and MT920898, MT920899 and MT920900 for TEF1-α. Sequences were 99-100% identical with Ex-isotype CBS145.78 accession numbers KF531816 for ITS and KF531795 for TEF1-α. Pathogenicity tests were conducted on 12 healthy dragon fruit plants of 1.5 years old using three non-detached cladodes per plant. Cladodes were inoculated with 5mm mycelial plugs from 8-day-old pure cultures grown on PDA. Three healthy dragon fruit plants were used as controls and were inoculated with PDA plugs only. The experiment was repeated once. Twenty days after inoculations (DAI), isolates of N. dimidiatum caused stem canker on dragon fruit plants. For all isolates, sunken orange spots averaged 3 X 2 mm in length at 8 DAI. Necrotic blotches with chlorotic halos averaged 10 X 15 mm at 14 DAI; stem cankers with water-soaked tissue were observed at 20 DAI, and arthroconidia and black pycnidia on dry stem cankers at 30 DAI. Untreated controls had no symptoms of stem canker, and no fungi were isolated from tissue. Neoscytalidium dimidiatum has been reported to cause stem canker on Hylocereus spp. in China, Florida, Israel, Malaysia and Taiwan (Chuang et al. 2012; Lan et al., 2012; Ezra et al., 2013; Sanahuja et al., 2016). To our knowledge, this is the first report of N. dimidiatum causing stem canker on dragon fruit in Puerto Rico. References: 1. Carbone, I., and Kohn, L. 1999.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to document the experiences, services, and programs provided to displaced university students from Puerto Rico and to offer recommendations to educational and community agencies regarding effective integration after a natural disaster. Through in-depth semi-structured interviews, this qualitative phenomenology study consisted of collecting oral histories of six displaced university students from Puerto Rico who relocated to Southwest Florida after Hurricane Maria. The analysis of the data indicated three themes, including (1) trauma after hurricane, (2) challenges and needs during relocation, and (3) conflicting feelings about the homeland and the United States. Although immediate, basic needs were met soon after relocation, in-depth, social-emotional needs, such as dealing with trauma and becoming acculturated in the new culture, remained unanswered. Recommendations are provided to higher education administration, professionals in education, and community agencies.

Stem Lesions

Salsola tragus L. (Russian thistle) is a problematic invasive weed in the western United States and a target of biological control efforts. In September of 2007, dying S. tragus plants were found along the Azov Sea at Chushka, Russia. Dying plants had irregular, necrotic, canker-like lesions near the base of the stems and most stems showed girdling and cracking. Stem lesions were dark brown and contained brown pycnidia within and extending along lesion-free sections of the stems and basal portions of leaves. Diseased stems were cut into 3- to 5-mm pieces and disinfested in 70% ethyl alcohol. After drying, stem pieces were placed into petri dishes on the surface of potato glucose agar. Numerous, dark, immersed erumpent pycnidia with a single ostiole were observed in all lesions after 2 to 3 days. Axenic cultures were sent to the Foreign Disease-Weed Science Research Unit, USDA, ARS, Ft. Detrick, MD for testing in quarantine. Conidiophores were simple, cylindrical, and 5 to 25 × 2 μm (mean 12 × 2 μm). Alpha conidia were biguttulate, one-celled, hyaline, nonseptate, ovoid, and 6.3 to 11.5 × 1.3 to 2.9 μm (mean 8.8 × 2.0 μm). Beta conidia were one-celled, filiform, hamate, hyaline, and 11.1 to 24.9 × 0.3 to 2.5 μm (mean 17.7 × 1.2 μm). The isolate was morphologically identified as a species of Phomopsis, the conidial state of Diaporthe (1). The teleomorph was not observed. A comparison with available sequences in GenBank using BLAST found 528 of 529 identities with the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence of an authentic and vouchered Diaporthe eres Nitschke (GenBank DQ491514; BPI 748435; CBS 109767). Morphology is consistent with that of Phomopsis oblonga (Desm.) Traverso, the anamorph of D. eres (2). Healthy stems and leaves of 10 30-day-old plants of S. tragus were spray inoculated with an aqueous suspension of conidia (1.0 × 106 alpha conidia/ml plus 0.1% v/v polysorbate 20) harvested from 14-day-old cultures grown on 20% V8 juice agar. Another 10 control plants were sprayed with water and surfactant without conidia. Plants were placed in an environmental chamber at 100% humidity (rh) for 16 h with no lighting at 25°C. After approximately 24 h, plants were transferred to a greenhouse at 20 to 25°C, 30 to 50% rh, and natural light. Stem lesions developed on three inoculated plants after 14 days and another three plants after 21 days. After 70 days, all inoculated plants were diseased, four were dead, and three had more than 75% diseased tissue. No symptoms occurred on control plants. The Phomopsis state was recovered from all diseased plants. This isolate of D. eres is a potential biological control agent of S. tragus in the United States. A voucher specimen has been deposited with the U.S. National Fungus Collections (BPI 878717). Nucleotide sequences for the ribosomal ITS regions (ITS 1 and 2) were deposited in GenBank (Accession No. EU805539). To our knowledge, this is the first report of stem canker on S. tragus caused by D. eres. References: (1) B. C. Sutton. Page 569 in: The Coelomycetes. CMI, Kew, Surrey, UK, 1980. (2) L. E. Wehmeyer.

Pachysandra terminalis Siebold & Zucc., known as Japanese pachysandra, is a creeping evergreen perennial belonging to the family Buxaceae. In April 2011, hundreds of plants showing symptoms of leaf blight and stem canker with nearly 100% incidence were found in a private garden in Suwon, Korea. Plants with the same symptoms were found in Seoul in May and Hongcheon in August. Affected leaves contained tan-to-yellow brown blotches. Stem and stolon cankers first appeared as water soaked and developed into necrotic lesions. Sporodochia were solitary, erumpent, circular, 50 to 150 μm in diameter, salmon-colored, pink-orange when wet, and with or without setae. Setae were hyaline, acicular, 60 to 100 μm long, and had a base that was 4 to 6 μm wide. Conidiophores were in a dense fascicle, not branched, hyaline, aseptate or uniseptate, and 8 to 20 × 2 to 3.5 μm. Conidia were long, ellipsoid to cylindric, fusiform, rounded at the apex, subtruncate at the base, straight to slightly bent, guttulate, hyaline, aseptate, 11 to 26 × 2.5 to 4.0 μm. A single-conidial isolate formed cream-colored colonies that turned into salmon-colored colonies on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Morphological and cultural characteristics of the fungus were consistent with previous reports of Pseudonectria pachysandricola B.O. Dodge (1,3,4). Voucher specimens were housed at Korea University (KUS). Two isolates, KACC46110 (ex KUS-F25663) and KACC46111 (ex KUS-F25683), were accessioned in the Korean Agricultural Culture Collection. Fungal DNA was extracted with DNeasy Plant Mini DNA Extraction Kits (Qiagen Inc., Valencia, CA). The complete internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of rDNA was amplified with the primers ITS1/ITS4 and sequenced using ABI Prism 337 automatic DNA sequencer (Applied Biosystems, Foster, CA). The resulting sequence of 487 bp was deposited in GenBank (Accession No. JN797821). This showed 100% similarity with a sequence of P. pachysandricola from the United States (HQ897807). Isolate KACC46110 was used in pathogenicity tests. Inoculum was prepared by harvesting conidia from 2-week-old cultures on PDA. Ten young leaves wounded with needles were sprayed with conidial suspensions (~1 × 106 conidia/ml). Ten young leaves that served as the control were treated with sterile distilled water. Plants were covered with plastic bags to maintain a relative humidity of 100% at 25 ± 2°C for 24 h. Typical symptoms of brown spots appeared on the inoculated leaves 4 days after inoculation and were identical to the ones observed in the field. P. pachysandricola was reisolated from 10 symptomatic leaf tissues, confirming Koch's postulates. No symptoms were observed on control plants. Previously, the disease was reported in the United States, Britain, Japan, and the Czech Republic (2,3), but not in Korea. To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. pachysandricola on Pachysandra terminalis in Korea. Since this plant is popular and widely planted in Korea, this disease could cause significant damage to nurseries and the landscape. References: (1) B. O. Dodge. Mycologia 36:532, 1944. (2) D. F.

Utilization of Trichoderma sp fungi as pathogenic fungi antagonists in red dragon fruit plants (Hylocereus polyrhizus) in vitro. The purpose of this study was to identify foul pathogens of dragon fruit plants and then test the ability of Trichoderma sp antagonists to deciduous pathogens of red dragon fruit plants in vitro. The study was conducted from August to October 2016, The research was conducted at the Laboratory of Pest and Plant Disease Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture, Mulawarman University, Samarinda. Sampling of plants exposed to foul tendrils was carried out in Bukit Merdeka Village, Samboja District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. There are two data observed in this study, primary data and secondary data. Primary data is data obtained directly from the source through direct field observations and laboratory observations and secondary data data obtained from interviews with farmers. The results showed that the pathogen that causes tendon rot in dragon fruit plants is the fungus Colletotrichum gloesporioides (penz. Ssaac). Trichoderma sp can inhibit the development of pathogens Colletotrichum gloesporioides (Penz.) Ssaac., With the highest average resistance of 71.85%.

Hylocereus Undatus

Pitaya (Hylocereus undatus and H. polyrhizus Britt. & Rose), a perennial succulent plant grown in the tropics, is becoming an emerging and important fruit plant in Taiwan. In September of 2009 and 2010, a number of pitaya plants were found to have a distinctive canker on stems. The disease expanded quickly to most commercial planting areas in Taiwan (e.g., Pintung, Chiayi, and Chunghua). Symptoms on the stem were small, circular, sunken, orange spots that developed into cankers. Pycnidia were erumpent from the surface of the cankers and the stems subsequently rotted. After surface disinfestation with 0.1% sodium hypochloride, tissues adjacent to cankers were placed on acidified potato dextrose agar (PDA) and incubated at room temperature for 1 week, after which colonies with dark gray-to-black aerial mycelium grew. Hyphae were branched, septate, and brown and disarticulated into 0- to 1-septate arthrospores. Sporulation was induced by culturing on sterile horsetail tree (Casuarina equisetifolia) leaves. Conidia (12.79 ± 0.72 × 5.14 ± 0.30 μm) from pycnidia were one-celled, hyaline, and ovate. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of ribosomal DNA was PCR amplified with primers ITS1 and ITS4 (2) and sequenced. The sequence (GenBank Accession No. HQ439174) showed 99% identity to Neoscytalidium dimidiatum (Penz.) Crous & Slippers (GenBank Accession No. GQ330903). On the basis of morphology and nucleotide-sequence identity, the isolates were identified as N. dimidiatum (1). Pathogenicity tests were conducted in two replicates by inoculating six surface-sterilized detached stems of pitaya with either mycelium or conidia. Mycelial plugs from 2-day-old cultures (incubated at 25°C under near UV) were inoculated to the detached stems after wounding with a sterile needle. Conidial suspensions (103 conidia/ml in 200 μl) were inoculated to nonwounded stems. Noninoculated controls were treated with sterile medium or water. Stems were then incubated in a plastic box at 100% relative humidity and darkness at 30°C for 2 days. The symptoms described above were observed on inoculated stems at 6 to 14 days postinoculation, whereas control stems did not develop any symptoms. N. dimidiatum was reisolated from symptomatic tissues. To our knowledge, this is the first report of N. dimidiatum causing stem canker of pitaya. References: (1) P. W. Crous et al. Stud.

Dragon Fruit

Dragon fruit or pitahaya (Hylocereus spp.) are famous for their nutrient-rich favourable taste, which brings high economic value to subtropical and tropical countries. However, dragon fruit cultivation all over the world is threatened by fungal pathogens and among them, Neoscytalidium dimidiatum has recently been shown to be responsible for stem canker and fruit rot which cause big economic losses. In order to find an environmentally friendly way to control this pathogen, five out of sixty-nine bacterial isolates used in a screening test for antifungal activity were selected. All five strains appeared to be aerobic Gram positive spore forming bacteria suggesting that they all belong to the Bacillus genus. Cell-free culture supernatants of these strains were found to strongly inhibit both fungal spore germination and mycelia growth in vitro for at least 5 days. The strain D19 which possessed the highest antagonistic effect was further identified to be Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, a well-known species shown to have antifungal effect against several other pathogenic fungi. Thus, the results of this study opened a new promising perspective to prevent Neoscytalidium dimidiatum infection during cultivation of dragon fruit.

Mature akee trees, Blighia sapida K. Koenig, in a local south Florida commercial orchard had wilt and dieback symptoms during spring 1999. A fungus isolated from the gray xylem root tissue on V8 agar was identified as Verticillium dahliae Klebahn at the Division of Plant Industry of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Twenty akee seedlings were transplanted into 3.85-liter plastic pots and grown in a greenhouse at a daytime temperature of 28°C and nighttime temperature of 23°C. When plants were approximately 25 cm high, a 15-cm knife was used to sever roots in the four quadrants of each pot. Inoculum was made from a 2-week-old culture of V. dahliae on V8 agar and blended with 160 ml of sterile water, and 15 ml of this slurry was poured into the disturbed soil of each of 10 treated plants. A plate of uninoculated V8 agar was applied, as above, to 10 control plants. Plants were kept in the greenhouse. After 6 weeks, inoculated plants showed symptoms of leaf wilt, dieback and plant death. No symptoms were seen on control plants. V. dahliae was isolated directly from the gray vascular tissue of inoculated plants. The inoculation experiment was repeated three times, fulfilling Koch's postulates. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Verticillium dieback on B. sapida in the United States.
