In September 2019, symptoms resembling those of bacterial leaf blight were observed on carrot plants (Daucus carota L. subsp. sativus Hoffm.) cv. Romance cultivated in commercial plots in Chañe (Segovia), Spain. Symptoms were observed in two plots surveyed representing three hectares, with an incidence greater than 90%, and also in some plots in other nearby municipalities sown with the same batch of seeds. The lesions observed at the ends of the leaves were initially yellow that develop dark brown to black with chlorotic halos on leaflets that turned necrotic. Yellow, Xanthomonas-like colonies were isolated onto YPGA medium (Ridé 1969) from leaf lesions. Two bacterial isolates were selected and confirmed by real-time PCR using a specific primer set for Xanthomonas hortorum pv. carotae (Temple et al. 2013). All isolates were gram-negative, aerobic rods positive for catalase, able of hydrolyzing casein and aesculin and growing at 2% NaCl, while were negative for oxidase and urease tests. Sequences of 16S rRNA gene showed 100% similarity with Xanthomonas campestris, X. arboricola, X. gardneri, X. cynarae strains (GenBank accession numbers: MW077507.1 and MW077508.1 for the isolates CRD19-206.3 and CRD19-206.4, respectively). However, the resulting phylogeny of multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) of a concatenation of the housekeeping genes atpD, dnaK, and efp (Bui Thi Ngoc et al. 2010), by using neighbour-joining trees generated with 500 bootstrap replicates, grouped the two isolates with the X. hortorum pv. carotae M081 strain (Kimbrel et al. 2011) (GenBank accession numbers: MW161270 and MW161271 for atpD for the two isolates, respectively; MW161268 and MW161269 for dnaK; MW161272 and MW161273 for efp). A pairwise identity analysis revealed a 100% identity between all three isolates. Pathogenicity of the isolates was tested by spray inoculation (Christianson et al. 2015) with a bacterial suspension (108 CFU/ml) prepared in sterile distilled water at 3 to 4 true-leaf stage (six plants per isolate). Sterile distilled water was used as negative control. The inoculated plants were incubated in a growth chamber (25°C and 95% relative humidity [RH]) for 72 h, and then transferred to a greenhouse at 24 to 28°C and 65% RH. Characteristic leaf blight symptoms developed on inoculated carrot plants, while no symptoms were observed on the negative control plants 20 days after inoculation. The bacterium was re-isolated from symptomatic tissue and the identity confirmed through PCR analysis. Based on PCR, morphological and phenotypic tests, sequence analysis, and pathogenicity assays, the isolates were identified as X. hortorum pv. carotae. To our knowledge, this is the first report of bacterial leaf blight of carrot caused by X. hortorum pv. carotae in Spain, and the first molecular and pathological characterization. It is important to early detect this pathogen and take suitable measures to prevent its spread, since it could cause yield losses for a locally important crop such as carrot.

Detection of the carrot bacterial leaf blight pathogen, Xanthomonas campestris pv. carotae, was achieved using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) along with primer pairs developed from sequences of cloned random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fragments. Primer pairs 3S and 9B directed the amplification of ∼350-bp and ∼900-bp (or ∼2 kb) DNA fragments, respectively, from genomic DNA of all known X. campestris pv. carotae strains tested, but not from that of 13 other X. campestris pathovars or other bacterial species, including yellow non-xanthomonad bacteria isolated from carrot tissues and seeds. In tests conducted with an extensive collection of X. campestris pv. carotae-like strains isolated from different substrates from California, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Canada, the 3S primer pair directed the amplification of the ∼350-bp target fragment from all strains. These results indicated that the 3S primer pair is highly specific for X. campestris pv. carotae detection. Using the 3S primer pair, PCR assays were developed for detection of X. campestris pv. carotae from colonies on agar media, carrot leaf and stem tissues, and seeds. These tests could be performed in a single day. The PCR-based seed assay detected X. campestris pv. carotae from lots with contamination rates ranging from 2 × 102 to 2.3 × 108 CFU per gram of seed. This assay gave results similar to a seed-wash dilution plating assay and proved more sensitive than an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based assay.

In December 2012, symptoms of typical bacterial leaf blight were observed on carrot plants (Daucus carota L. subsp. sativus) cultivated in commercial fields in Kujwa, Jeju, Korea. The disease was detected in 40% of 50 fields surveyed with an incidence of 10% on average. The bacterial leaf blight lesions on leaf blades were elongated, dark brown to black with water-soaked edges and chlorotic halos. Lesions were also crescent-shaped to V-shaped on leaflets. Four bacterial isolates were recovered on trypticase soy agar from leaf lesions that were surface-sterilized in 70% ethyl alcohol for 20 s. Identity of the isolates was confirmed by PCR product (1,266-bp) using a specific primer set for Xanthomonas hortorum pv. carotae (Kendrick 1934) Vauterin et al. 1995, XhcPP03 (1). All isolates were gram-negative, aerobic rods with a single polar flagellum. Isolates were positive for catalase and negative for oxidase. In phenotypic tests for differentiation of Xanthomonas (2), the isolates positive for mucoid growth on yeast extract-dextrose-calcium carbonate agar, growth at 35°C, hydrolysis of esculin, protein digestion, alkaline in litmus milk, acid production from arabitol, and utilization of glycerol and melibiose. The isolates were negative for growth on SX medium, hydrolysis of starch, and ice nucleation. The gyrB gene (863 bp) and the rpoD gene (870 bp) were sequenced to aid identification of the original isolates using published PCR primer sets, Xgyr1BF/Xgyr1BR and XrpoD1F/XrpoD1R (4), respectively. Sequences of the gyrB gene (GenBank accessions KC920729 to KC920732) from the carrot isolates shared 100% sequence identity with that of the X. hortorum pv. carotae strain NCPPB 425 (EU285243). In phylogenetic analyses based on the partial sequences of the gyrB and the rpoD genes for Xanthomonas spp. available at NCBI (4), and sequences of the carrot isolates (KC920734 to KC920737 for rpoD gene) using the Neighbor-joining method in MEGA Version 5.1 (3), the isolates were clustered in the X. hortorum-cynarae-garnderi group. Pathogenicity of the isolates was tested by spray inoculation with a bacterial suspension (106 CFU/ml) prepared in sterile distilled water at 6 to 7 true-leaf stage (three plants per isolate). Sterile distilled water was used as negative control. The inoculated plants were incubated in a growth chamber (25°C and 95% relative humidity [RH]) for 15 hr, and then transferred to a greenhouse at 24 to 28°C and 65% RH. Characteristic leaf blight symptoms developed on inoculated carrot plants, while no symptoms were observed on the negative control plants 14 days after inoculation. The bacterium was re-isolated from symptomatic tissue and the identity confirmed through gyrB gene sequence analysis (4). Based on PCR, morphological and phenotypic tests, sequence analysis, and pathogenicity assays, the isolates were identified as X. hortorum pv. carotae. To our knowledge, this is the first report of bacterial leaf blight of carrot caused by X. hortorum pv. carotae in Korea. The detection of this pathogen could have a significant economic impact due to yield losses from disease development. Consolidation of quarantine inspection on imported carrot seeds needs to control an outbreak of the disease. Crop rotation and plowing are recommended to reduce incidence of the disease in the infested fields. References: (1) J. A. Kimbrel et al. Mol. Plant Pathol. 12:580, 2011. (2) N. W. Schaad et al.

First Report

In autumn 2020, leaf blight was observed on rice (Oryza sativa L., variety Zhongzao39, Yongyou9, Yongyou12, Yongyou15, Yongyou18, Yongyou1540, Zhongzheyou8, Jiafengyou2, Xiangliangyou900 and Jiyou351) in the fields of 17 towns in Zhejiang and Jiangxi Provinces, China. The disease incidence was 45%-60%. Initially, water-soaked, linear, light brown lesions emerged in the upper blades of the leaves, and then spread down to leaf margins, which ultimately caused leaf curling and blight during the booting-harvest stage (Fig. S1). The disease symptoms were assumed to be caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), the pathogen of rice bacterial blight. 63 isolates were obtained from the collected diseased leaves as previously described (Hou et al. 2020). All isolates showed circular, smooth-margined, yellow colonies when cultured on peptone sugar agar (PSA) medium for 24h at 28℃. The cells were all gram-negative and rod-shaped with three to six peritrichous flagella; positive for catalase, indole, glucose fermentation and citrate utilization, while negative for oxidase, alkaline, phenylalanine deaminase, urease, and nitrate reductase reactions. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis from the 6 isolates (FY43, JH31, JH99, TZ20, TZ39 and TZ68) revealed that the amplified fragments shared 98% similarity with Pantoea ananatis type strain LMG 2665T (GenBank JFZU01) (Table S3). To further verify P. ananatis identity of these isolates, fragments of three housekeeping genes including gyrB, leuS and rpoB from the 6 isolates were amplified and sequenced, which showed highest homology to LMG 2665T with a sequence similarity of 95%-100% (Table S3). Primers (Brady et al. 2008) and GenBank accession numbers of gene sequences from the 6 isolates are listed in Table S1 and Table S2. Phylogenetic analysis of gyrB, leuS and rpoB concatenated sequences indicated that the 6 isolates were clustered in a stable branch with P. ananatis (Fig. S2). Based on the above morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular data, the isolates are identified as P. ananatis. For pathogenicity tests, bacterial suspension at 108 CFU/mL was inoculated into flag leaves of rice (cv. Zhongzao39) at the late booting stage using clipping method. Water was used as a negative control. The clipped leaves displayed water-soaked lesions at 3 to 5 days after inoculation (DAI); then the lesion spread downward and turned light brown. At about 14 DAI, blight was shown with similar symptoms to those samples collected from the rice field of Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces (Fig. S1). In contrast, the control plants remained healthy and symptomless. The same P. ananatis was re-isolated in the inoculated rice plants, fulfilling Koch’s postulates. In the past decade, P. ananatis has been reported to cause grain discoloration in Hangzhou, China (Yan et al. 2010) and induce leaf blight as a companion of Enterobacter asburiae in Sichuan province, China (Xue et al. 2020). Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of P. ananatis as the causative agent of rice leaf blight in southeast China. This study raises the alarm that the emerging rice bacterial leaf blight in southeast China might be caused by a new pathogen P. ananatis, instead of Xoo as traditionally assumed. Further, the differences of occurrence, spread and control between two rice bacterial leaf blight diseases caused by P. ananatis and Xoo, respectively need to be determined in the future.
