Molecular detection of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum and Mycosphaerella melonis in infected plant tissues and soil

We developed two species-specific PCR assays for rapid and accurate detection of the pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum and Mycosphaerella melonis in diseased plant tissues and soil. Based on differences in internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of Fusarium spp. and Mycosphaerella spp., two pairs of species-specific primers, Fn-1/Fn-2 and Mn-1/Mn-2, were synthesized. After screening 24 isolates of F. oxysporum f. sp. niveum, 22 isolates of M. melonis, and 72 isolates from the Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Deuteromycota, and Oomycota, the Fn-1/Fn-2 primers amplified only a single PCR band of approximately 320 bp from F. oxysporum f. sp.niveum, and the Mn-1/Mn-2 primers yielded a PCR product of approximately 420 bp from M. melonis. The detection sensitivity with primers Fn-1/Fn-2 and Mn-1/Mn-2 was 1fg of genomic DNA. Using ITS1/ITS4 as the first-round primers, combined with either Fn-1/Fn-2 and or Mn-1/Mn-2, two nested PCR procedures were developed, and the detection sensitivity increased 1000-fold to 1ag. The detection sensitivity for the soil pathogens was 100-microconidia/g soil. A duplex PCR method, combining primers Fn-1/Fn-2 and Mn-1/Mn-2, was used to detect F. oxysporum f. sp. niveum and M. melonis in plant tissues infected by the pathogens. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR assays were developed to detect and monitor the pathogens directly in soil samples. The PCR-based methods developed here could simplify both plant disease diagnosis and pathogen monitoring as well as guide plant disease management.

Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Fusarium solani Isolates

Fusarium solani is a species complex (FSSC) containing isolates that cause diseases in important crops such as root and fruit rot of Cucurbita spp., root and stem rot of pea, sudden death syndrome of soybean, foot rot of bean and dry rot of potato tubers during storage. Based on host range tests, F. solani were subdivided into different formae specialis (f. sp.) and varieties, while DNA sequences of 28S rDNA, internally transcribed spacers (ITS) rDNA and elongation factor (EF-1α) distinguished the ' F. solani complex' in 50 subspecific lineages. In this study we characterized, by cultural, morphological and molecular criteria, 34 isolates of F. solani obtained from potato, other crops and soil. The 34 isolates in the FSSC showed wide variability for their cultural, morphological and molecular traits. The wide variability observed with amplified fragment-length polymorphism (AFLP) and mini-microsatellite analyses is in agreement with the polymorphism observed, in a previous study, within FSSC. Nine of 34 isolates in the FSSC, classified as F. solani var. coeruleum , were morphologically distinguishable from the other F. solani isolates but they were distributed in different clusters; moreover, the nine isolates showed instability of the coeruleum pigmentation of the colonies, supporting the ambiguity of the taxa of this variety of F. solani. Using sequence data from ITS plus 5.8S rDNA region, the isolates were classified into different clades. In particular eight isolates were classified into a well-supported clade including F. solani f. sp . pisi , nine into a clade including only isolates of F. solani f. sp . radicicola and four into a clade including F. solani f. sp . cucurbitae , but this classification could not be used if is not in agreement with host specificity. Two of the nine F. solani var. coeruleum isolates were phylogenetically distinct from all the other FSSC strains.     

Characterization of Gibberella fujikuroi complex isolates by fumonisin B1 and B2 analysis and by RAPD and restriction analysis of PCR-amplified internal transcribed spacers of ribosomal DNA

Twenty nine isolates of Fusarium spp. (twenty four of them belonging to the Gibberella fujikuroi complex) isolated from banana and corn from different geographical regions were analyzed for their ability to produce fumonisins B1 and B2 and for genetic relatedness using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and restriction analysis of PCR amplification products of the 5.8s ribosomal DNA-intervening internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS I-5.8S-ITS II). For RAPD analysis, six of twenty oligonucleotide primers were selected after testing with five Fusarium spp. isolates and used to characterize 24 additional isolates. DNA fragments from the 29 isolates of Fusarium spp., which were approximately 560 bp, were amplified with the universal primers ITS1 and ITS4. The restriction enzymes HaeIII, MboI, HpaII and MspI were useful for distinguishing the isolates. The RAPD analysis permitted to find interspecific differences among the isolates of Fusarium spp., between isolates with low and high capacity of fumonisin production and among isolates from different hosts. The restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP-PCR) analysis permitted to distinguish among different species of Fusarium. In combination with morphological analysis, the results of this research may find an application for the diagnosis of unknown Fusarium spp. and, particularly, for the characterization of fumonisin-producing isolates, which may be very useful in the food technology field.     

Discrimination of Six Pratylenchus Species Using PCR and Species-Specific Primers

A PCR-based assay for identification of six species of Pratylenchus common in California is described. In this assay, five forward species-specific primers were designed from the internal variable portion of the D3 expansion region of the 26S rDNA and were each used with a single, common reverse primer. The optimized species-specific primers produced unique amplicons from their respective target and did not amplify DNA from other Pratylenchus species. With this assay we were able to identify single females to species level. This method obviates the need for subsequent RFLP or sequence analysis of the PCR product and can be used as a rapid diagnostic tool in epidemiological and management studies.
