    Description: The global spread of Eucalyptus pathogens is thought to be facilitated by the trade in seed for the establishment of new plantations and breeding programmes. In this study, we used high-throughput amplicon sequencing to elucidate whether this might be true for the Eucalyptus stem pathogen Teratosphaeria zuluensis in South Africa. DNA libraries were obtained for seed-capsules, clean seed, 1-month-old seedlings grown in a phytotron, plants grown in vitro in a tissue culture facility as well as leaves and stems of 3-month-old seedlings exposed to a Eucalyptus plantation environment. The DNA libraries were sequenced using high-throughput Illumina MiSeq and 454 technologies. Sequencing revealed the presence of several OTUs in the Botryosphaeriaceae, Mycosphaerellaceae and Teratosphaeriaceae in seed and seed-capsules and amongst these, OTUs that cluster close to T. zuluensis . OTUs from the Mycosphaerellaceae were also recovered from seedlings grown in a phytotron, in vitro propagated seedlings and those exposed to the plantation environment. The results support the view that important Eucalyptus pathogens, including T. zuluensis , can be spread via the trade in seed.

    Publication Date: 2014-10-08
    Description: Termites normally rely on gut symbionts to decompose organic matter but the Macrotermitinae domesticated Termitomyces fungi to produce their own food. This transition was accompanied by a shift in the composition of the gut microbiota, but the complementary roles of these bacteria in the symbiosis have remained enigmatic. We obtained...

    Notes: Armillaria root rot is a serious disease in fir and mixed conifer forests of Bhutan, Eastern Himalayas. The species causing this disease have, however, never been identified. The aim of this study was to identify field isolates collected at four localities in Bhutan. Identification was based on RFLP analysis of the IGS-1 region, comparisons of ITS and IGS-1 sequence data with those available on GenBank, cladistic analyses and sexual compatibility studies. Isolates were found to reside in two distinct RFLP groups. RFLP group 1 isolates from Pinus wallichiana at Yusipang had RFLP profiles and IGS-1 sequences similar to those of Armillaria mellea ssp. nipponica. Although ITS sequence data are not available for A. mellea ssp. nipponica, sequences from this DNA region were most similar to the closely related A. mellea from Asia. The RFLP profile and IGS-1 sequences for RFLP group 2 isolates from Abies densa at Changaphug, Tsuga dumosa at Chimithanka as well as Picea spinulosa and T. dumosa in the Phobjikha valley were similar to those published for Armillaria borealis, Armillaria cepistipes, Armillaria gemina and Armillaria ostoyae. Distance analysis based on IGS-1 and ITS sequence data indicated that these isolates are closely related to A. cepistipes, Armillaria gallica and Armillaria sinapina. The isolates were, however, sexually incompatible with tester strains of A. cepistipes, A. gallica and A. sinapina. Although closely related to these species, they appear to represent a distinct taxon that will be referred to as Bhutanese phylogenetic species I (BPS I) until basidiocarps are found and the species can be described.

    Notes: Vegetative compatibility of strains of Diaporthe ambigua has not previously been examined. Single ascospore and single ascus strains, originating from individual apple, pear and plum rootstocks, were paired on freshly prepared oatmeal agar to determine if vegetative incompatibility could be detected in D. ambigua. Barrage reactions were evident as black lines along the zone of mycelial contact between expanding colonies (vegetative incompatibility reaction). Strains from cankers within an area were of numerous vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs). Strains from adjacent rootstocks usually differed in VCG. D. ambigua has the ability to outcross, and does so, despite its apparent homothallic nature. DsRNA-containing strains of D. ambigua developed a broad, clear zone when paired with a dsRNA-containing strain from a different VCG.

    Notes: The genotypic diversity in a South African population of Fusarium subglutinans f.sp. pini (F.s. pini) was determined, based on the number of vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs). Isolates of F.s. pini from South Africa (69), California (five) and Florida (19) were included in the study. The nit1 (or nit3) and NitM mutants were selected as chlorate resistant sectors and paired on minimal medium. The South African isolates of F.s. pini were assigned to 23 different VCGs. No heterokaryons formed between isolates from South Africa, California and Florida. The high degree of genotypic diversity in the South African population of F.s. pini is probably due to some level of sexual reproduction in the population.

    Notes: Fusarium subglutinans f.sp. pini (F.s. pini)is the causal agent of pitch canker of pines. The fungus has recently been found in South Africa on the diseased roots of seedlings, but has as yet not been detected on mature trees in commercial forests. Inoculation of 1 -year-old and seedlings with isolates of resulted in canker development and shoot mortality. No significant differences in virulence were found among eight isolates of the pathogen on and but isolate MRC 6214 was significantly more virulent on seedlings than MRC 6209. Disease development was significantly more severe on and than on Pathogenicity tests on 4-year-old and trees yielded comparable results. Resinous cankers, similar to those described for pitch canker, developed on trees in the vicinity of inoculation points but development ceased before stems were girdled.

    Ceratocystis species infecting stem wounds on Eucalyptus grandis in South Africa (2004)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd
    Plant pathology 53 (2004), S. 0

    Notes: Reports of Ceratocystis spp. causing disease of exotic plantation hardwood species have increased in recent years. Ceratocystis fimbriata causes wilt and canker on Eucalyptus spp. in Africa and South America, and C. albofundus results in wilt and death of Acacia mearnsii in Africa. Ceratocystis spp. generally infect wounds on trees, and artificial stem wounding can thus be used to determine the presence of these fungi. The aim of this study was to identify Ceratocystis spp. infecting wounds on Eucalyptus grandis in South Africa. Isolated Ceratocystis spp. were identified using morphological characteristics and comparisons of DNA sequence data for the ITS and 5·8S regions of the rRNA operon. Pathogenicity trials were conducted in the greenhouse to determine the possible role that these Ceratocystis spp. could have in disease development. These trials were also conducted under field conditions. Three Ceratocystis spp. were collected: C. fimbriata, C. moniliformis and C. pirilliformis. This is the first report of C. fimbriata and C. pirilliformis from Eucalyptus spp. in South Africa, and the first report of the latter fungus outside Australia. Both C. fimbriata and C. pirilliformis caused significant lesions on inoculated E. grandis trees. This is the first evidence that C. pirilliformis is a pathogen of Eucalyptus spp. From the results of both greenhouse and field trials, it has the potential to cause serious disease problems in Eucalyptus plantations.

    Comparison of populations of the wilt pathogen Ceratocystis albifundus in South Africa and Uganda (2005)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd
    Plant pathology 54 (2005), S. 0

    Notes: Ceratocystis albifundus is an important fungal pathogen of Acacia mearnsii trees in South Africa. In a previous study, a high level of gene diversity was demonstrated in a South African population of C. albifundus. This, together with the occurrence of the pathogen on native Protea species and its exclusive occurrence in South Africa, led to the hypothesis that C. albifundus is probably native to that country. More recently, C. albifundus has been reported from A. mearnsii in south-western Uganda. The aim of this study was to compare the populations of C. albifundus from Uganda and South Africa based on genetic diversity, population structure and possible gene flow. This was achieved using codominant microsatellite markers developed for the closely related species Ceratocystis fimbriata. Available isolates for comparison were from six different areas of South Africa and six jungle stands in Uganda. Eight of the 11 available markers amplified loci in C. albifundus. Gene diversity was higher in the Ugandan population, but genotypic diversity was greater for the South African isolates. There were no common genotypes between the two populations and they shared only 22% of the total alleles. The populations were genetically isolated from each other and highly substructured within. There was no association between isolates collected from the same geographic locations, and gene flow between the two populations was low. Results suggest that C. albifundus was probably not introduced into Uganda from South Africa but rather that an ancestral population, yet to be discovered, is the source of both populations.
