First Report of the A2 Mating Type of Phytophthora infestans on Tomato Crops in Taiwan, Republic of China

In a study of the Phytophthora infestans population in Taiwan, samples with symptoms typical of late blight were collected from field crops in an important potato- (Solanum tuberosum) and tomato-(Lycopersicon esculentum) production area in the central highlands region. Isolates were obtained by surf...

520 |a In a study of the Phytophthora infestans population in Taiwan, samples with symptoms typical of late blight were collected from field crops in an important potato- (Solanum tuberosum) and tomato-(Lycopersicon esculentum) production area in the central highlands region. Isolates were obtained by surface disinfecting leaf sections and plating them onto antibiotic-amended rye A agar (1). After subculturing, the pathogen was confirmed as P. infestans on the basis of morphological characters (2). Mating type was determined by co-inoculating unamended rye agar plates with mycelial plugs of the test isolate and a reference P. infestans isolate of either the A1 or A2 mating type (four plates per test isolate, two with different A1, and two with different A2 reference isolates). After incubation (15°C darkness, 7 to 14 days), plates were examined microscopically for the presence of oospores where the colonies interacted. In 2004, one isolate of 200 tested, and in 2006, one isolate of 102 tested, produced oospores only with A1 reference isolates and were concluded to be A2 mating type. In vitro testing showed the two A2 isolates were metalaxyl-resistant (ED50 values >100 mg of metalaxyl per liter on rye grain agar), which is typical of recent P. infestans isolates from potato and tomato in this area (2). Twenty-one single-sporangial isolates from each of the two A2 strains were tested for mating type against two different A1 isolates of P. infestans and confirmed as A2. These isolates were characterized using the techniques described by Deahl et al. (1) and had the allozyme genotype 100/100/111, 100/100 at the loci coding for glucose-6-phosphate isomerase and peptidase, respectively, and were mitochondrial haplotype IIb. This multi-locus genotype is characteristic of recent P. infestans isolates from tomato and potato in Taiwan, but all previous such isolates were A1 mating type and attributed to the US-11 clonal lineage (1). When evaluated on differential hosts, both A2 isolates were tomato race PH-1 and complex potato race R 0,1,2,3,4,7,9,11. RG57 fingerprinting showed that the A2 isolates had fingerprints identical to each other and to A1 P. infestans isolates of the US-11 clonal lineage from tomato in Taiwan (101 011 100 100 110 101 011 001 1). Koch's postulates were completed and the two A2 isolates were found to be highly aggressive on cultivars of potato and tomato. To our knowledge, this is the first report of A2 mating type strains of P. infestans in the field in Taiwan, but currently, their incidence is very low (<1%). One crop from which an A2 isolate was obtained also yielded an A1 isolate, while A1 isolates were obtained from crops in the vicinity of the other. The concurrent presence of the two mating types of P. infestans poses a risk of sexual reproduction and oospore formation in tomato or potato in Taiwan. References: (1) K. L. Deahl et al. Pest Manag.
