First Report of Tar Spot on Orange Geiger, Cordia sebestena, Caused by Diatractium cordianum in Florida

In July 2007, tar spot symptoms were observed on the leaves of orange Geiger, Cordia sebestena L. (Boraginaceae), in the landscape and a commercial nursery in Homestead, FL. The disease appears to be spreading and is locally severe. Symptoms were circular, slightly hypertrophied spots approximately...

520 |a In July 2007, tar spot symptoms were observed on the leaves of orange Geiger, Cordia sebestena L. (Boraginaceae), in the landscape and a commercial nursery in Homestead, FL. The disease appears to be spreading and is locally severe. Symptoms were circular, slightly hypertrophied spots approximately 5 to 8 cm in diameter, which were slightly chlorotic on the abaxial surface and had numerous circular blackened stroma, 0.2 to 0.4 mm in diameter, on the adaxial surface. As leaves aged and yellowed, the areas around the spots remained pale green. Embedded in the stroma were numerous perithecia, 173 to 312 μm in diameter, circular to irregular in shape, with lateral necks as much as 200 μm long and 73 to 104 μm in diameter. Asci, 77 to 92 × 11 to 13 μm, contained elongate, two-celled ascospores, 50 to 61 × 3 to 5 μm that had a conspicuous constriction at the dividing cell wall. These dimensions and the pathogen's appearance matched closely with those published for Diatractium cordianum (Ellis & Kelsey) Syd (1). Young, symptomless leaves of C. sebestena were sprayed to runoff with a suspension of ascospores approximately 104 ml-1 that were harvested from affected leaves. Inoculated leaves were placed on water-saturated paper towels in petri plates and maintained in a growth chamber at 25°C with fluorescent light at 10 h day-1. Symptoms similar to those observed on affected trees in the landscape began to develop after 21 days and perithecia were evident after 28 days. An ITS 1, ITS 2, and 5.8s rDNA sequence was deposited in GenBank (Accession No. EU541488). A herbarium specimen was deposited at the U.S. National Fungus Collections (BPI No. 878441). This is a new host record for D. cordianum and is the first time the pathogen has been reported in the United States. Previous records were from Venezuela and several Caribbean islands, including Cuba and Jamaica. Symptoms of this disease have not been observed on Texas wild olive, Cordia boissieri, in close proximity to affected C. sebestena. P. F. Cannon (1) indicated that the disease had no economic impact. However, the conspicuous nature of symptoms on C. sebestena and the importance of this tree in the South Florida ornamental trade (2) suggest that this disease may become significant on the latter host.
