链格孢Alternaria alternata侵染导致瓜类幼苗白化的机制

用分离自无症状瓜类植物的27株链格孢属Alternaria真菌接种黄瓜,有14株引起了黄瓜幼苗的白化,这些菌株均属于链格孢A. alternata。为揭示A. alternata引起黄瓜幼苗白化的机制,对代表菌株5F29经固体发酵后提取其次级代谢产物,将粗提物按一定量混入基质进行盆栽实验。结果表明,黄瓜、丝瓜和甜瓜对该粗提物敏感,出现白化苗;小白菜和辣椒对粗提物不敏感,生长正常。植物幼苗用粗提物处理的结果与用产生菌接种的结果相一致。粗提物经硅胶柱层析、葡聚糖凝胶柱层析及高效液相色谱（HPLC）等方法分离纯化得到一种活性化合物,经测定该化合物引起黄瓜幼苗白化的最低浓度为12.5μmol/L。该化合物在此浓度下可引起黄瓜幼苗生长点白化,在15μmol/L的浓度下可引起黄瓜幼苗大部分组织白化,致使幼苗很快死亡。应用核磁共振和质谱技术,确定了该化合物的结构,鉴定为一种植物毒素——腾毒素（tentoxin）。研究结果揭示了A. alternata引起瓜类幼苗白化的机制以及不同植物对于腾毒素的不同敏感性。

Establishment of seed-borne nature of Alternaria alternata causing leaf spot and fruit rot of chilli

Study on seed-borne nature of Alternaria alternata in chilli seeds indicated that in Standard blotter method, the incidence of A. alternata was 5.7–15.3% (average, 9.5%) and 16.5–28.4% (average, 21.7%) with unsterilsied seeds collected from general fields and diseased fields, respectively. The incidence for surface sterilised seeds from general and diseased fields was 2.6–7.2% (average, 4.9%) and 7.8–13.0% (average, 9.6%), respectively. In agar plate method with potato dextrose agar medium, the incidence of A. alternata was 4.0–10.5% (average, 7.4%) and 11.0–24.0% (average, 18%) with surface sterilised.     

Alternaria alternata f.sp. cucurbitae, the cause of a new leaf spot disease of melon (Cucumis melo)

A leaf spot disease of melon caused by Alternaria alternata f.sp. cucurbitae was recorded for the first time in Crete. Necrotic flecks surrounded by chlorotic halos developed on the cotyledons and the leaves of the middle and the upper part of the plants; the flecks enlarged and coalesced to form lesions of 2 cm or more in diameter with brown fructifications of the pathogen on their surface. Severely affected cotyledons and leaves became chlorotic and died. Of 16 species from eight botanical families that were inoculated, only those of the Cucurbitaceae were susceptible. Of four isolates of A. alternata from tomato, sunflower, pear and cucumber, only the cucumber isolate was pathogenic to melon foliage.     

First report of Alternaria leaf spot caused by Alternaria alternata (Fries.) Kiessler on Sonchus oleraceus L. and Convolvulus arvensis L. in Algeria

Alternaria leaf spot caused by Alternaria alternata (Fries.) Kiessler was found on sow thistle (Sonchus oleraceus L.) and field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) in the experimental station of ENSA (Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Agronomie) in Algiers, Algeria, during the winter of 2016. Necrotic spots in the form of concentric circles were observed on the leaves of both weeds with disease incidence of approximately 70% and disease severity ranging from 50% to 70%. Fungi were isolated from the infected leaves and identified as A. alternata, based on morphological and molecular analyses (using genetic marker internal transcribed spacer, ITS of rDNA). Pathogenicity tests confirmed that A. alternata is the causing agent of leaf spot disease of sow thistle and field bindweed in accordance with the original symptoms. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of sow thistle and field bindweed naturally infected by A. alternata in Algeria.     

Identification of Alternaria tenuissima causing brown leaf spot on Paris polyphylla var. chinensis in China

Severe brown leaf spot disease was observed on Paris polyphylla var. chinensis in Sichuan Province, China, in 2017 and 2018. The initial symptoms were many light‐brown small spots with necrotic centres, round or irregular in shape, becoming dark brown, gradually enlarging and eventually coalescing, causing extensive leaf senescence. A fungus was isolated from diseased leaves showing typical symptoms of brown leaf spot. The isolates were cultured on potato sucrose agar, and their morphological characteristics of the causal pathogen were observed under a light microscope. Pathogenicity tests revealed that this fungus was the causal pathogen of the disease. Molecular analyses of the sequences of the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, translation elongation factor 1‐alpha (TEF) and the RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RBP2) gene were conducted to confirm the identity of the pathogen. The multi‐gene phylogeny indicated that the causal agent was Alternaria tenuissima. To our knowledge, this is the first report of A. tenuissima causing brown leaf sports on P. polyphylla var. chinensis in China.     

Antifungal potential of zinc against leaf spot disease in chili pepper caused by Alternaria alternata

The fungal pathogen, Alternaria alternata is responsible for causing leaf spot disease in many plants, including chili pepper. Zinc (Zn) an essential micronutrient for plant growth, also increases resistance in plants against diseases, and also acts as an antifungal agent. Here, in vitro effects of ZnSO₄ on the propagation of A. alternata were investigated, and also in vivo, the effect of foliar application of ZnSO₄ was investigated in chili pepper plants under disease stress. In vitro, ZnSO₄ inhibited fungal growth in a dose-dependent manner, with complete inhibition being observed at the concentration of 8.50 mM. Hyphae and conidial damage were observed along with abnormal activity of antioxidant enzymes, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the major changes in the protein structure of the fungal biomass after Zn accumulation. In vivo, pathogen infection caused the highest leaf spot disease incidence, and cumulative disease index, which resulted in a significant reduction in the plant’s growth (length and biomass), and physiochemical traits (photosynthetic pigment, activity of catalase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, and phenylalanine ammonia lyase). The heat map and principal component analysis based on disease, growth and, physico-chemical variables generated useful information regarding the best treatment useful for disease management. Foliar Zn (0.036 mM) acted as a resistance inducer in chili pepper plants that improved activities of antioxidants (CAT and POX), and defense compounds (PPO and PAL), while managing 77% of disease. The study indicated foliar ZnSO₄ as an effective and sustainable agriculture practice to manage Alternaria leaf spot disease in chili pepper plants.     

昆诺阿藜链格孢叶斑病病原及其生物学特性

为明确昆诺阿藜链格孢叶斑病病原,在山西省昆诺阿藜种植区采集典型症状的标本分离病原菌,选择代表性菌株LGB-b和LGB-h对其形态学、分子生物学、致病性及生物学特性进行了研究。综合形态学和多基因系统发育(Alt a 1、endoPG 和OPA10-2)分析,确定昆诺阿藜链格孢叶斑病病原为Alternaria alternata。致病性测定发现接种6 d后病斑呈灰绿至黄绿色,表面具有灰棕至灰褐色霉层,周围具黄绿色晕圈,与田间症状基本一致。菌株LGB-b和LGB-h均可侵染昆诺阿藜、藜和台湾藜。菌株LGB-b菌丝生长的最适培养基为V8 蔬菜汁琼脂培养基(V8)、温度为25-30 ℃、水活度≥0.98、pH为6-7;分生孢子萌发的最适水活度≥0.98、pH为6-7。菌株LGB-h菌丝生长的最适培养基为马铃薯胡萝卜琼脂培养基(PCA)、温度为20-25 ℃、水活度≥0.98、pH为6-7;分生孢子萌发的最适水活度≥0.98、pH为7-8。     

Morphological and molecular characterization of the strawberry black leaf spot pathogen referred to as the strawberry pathotype of Alternaria alternata

The remaining unclarified taxon among the seven known pathotypes of host-selective toxin (HST)-producing Alternaria alternata, namely, the strawberry pathotype (the strawberry black leaf spot pathogen), is taxonomically revised and re-described herein. According to our morphological observations, reference isolates of strawberry and Japanese pear pathotypes, which are toxic to leaves of Japanese pear ‘Nijisseiki’, have conidia that are formed in chains of 3–13, usually without lateral branches, after 7?d incubation on potato-carrot agar. The mean size of the conidia is 27–31?×?11–13?μm. Morphological characteristics of the examined isolates are identical to those of A. gaisen rather than A. alternata. A phylogenetic tree obtained by analysis of a combined dataset of ITS, gapdh, rpb2, tef1, Alt a 1, and endoPG sequences also strongly supports both pathotypes as one species, A. gaisen. We re-describe the fungus as A. gaisen Nagano ex Bokura and propose two formae speciales of the species, A. gaisen f. sp. fragariae producing AF-toxin and f. sp. pyri producing AK-toxin. The epitype specimen and ex-epitype culture of A. gaisen are newly designated.     

Screening of chilli germplasm for resistance to Alternaria leaf spot disease

Chilli is one of the spices used to enhance the flavour and taste of cooked food. Fungal diseases are the main biological constraints in chilli production, and Alternaria leaf spot disease caused by Alternaria alternata is one of the most devastating diseases of chilli. One of the effective and environmentally friendly ways to control this disease is introgress resistance from wild relative/varieties to the cultivated one. The first step towards introgression of resistance genes is to screen the chill germplasm for leaf spot resistance. In the current study, we screened the chilly germplasm and identified the sources of leaf spot resistance, which can be harnessed in resistance breeding programmes.     

First Report of Black Leaf Spot Caused by Alternaria alternata on Ramie in China

In 2012 and 2013, black leaf spot disease was observed on ramie plants in Hunan and Hubei Provinces, China. In the field, the symptoms of this disease included dark green to black big spots on leaves, often resulting in upwardly curled leaf margins. The pathogen isolates were identified as Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissler on the basis of morphology and sequence similarity of 99–100% to the published data for internal transcribed spacer (ITS), and glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (gdp). To our knowledge, this is the first report of Alternaria leaf spot of ramie in China.
