Perpetuation of Powdery Mildew Infection and Identification of Erysiphe australiana as the Crape Myrtle Pathogen in Mid-Tennessee

The fungus Erysiphe lagerstroemiae is commonly known as the powdery mildew pathogen in crape myrtle (Lagerstroemiae indica) in the United States, and Erysiphe australiana is the powdery mildew pathogen reported in Japan, China, and Australia. The teleomorph often used to identify powdery mildew fung...

520 |a The fungus Erysiphe lagerstroemiae is commonly known as the powdery mildew pathogen in crape myrtle (Lagerstroemiae indica) in the United States, and Erysiphe australiana is the powdery mildew pathogen reported in Japan, China, and Australia. The teleomorph often used to identify powdery mildew fungi rarely develops in crape myrtle, and in our observations, ascocarps never formed. Our study showed that the crape myrtle pathogen overwintered as mycelia on dormant buds. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of rDNA and the intervening 5.8S rRNA gene were amplified using standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocols and the universal primer pairs ITS1 and ITS4. PCR products were analyzed by electrophoresis in a 1.5% agarose gel and sequenced, and the ITS PCR product was 666 bp from ITS1/ITS4 and 704 bp from ITS1-F/ITS4. BLAST analysis of the sequence of the PCR products showed identical similarity with E. australiana reported in Japan, China, and Australia. Comparison of ITS sequences with information in the GenBank on other powdery mildew fungi showed a closest alignment (93% similarity) to Erysiphe juglandis that infects walnut. Specific primers for E. australiana were developed and evaluated for use as diagnostic tools. Out of 12 specific primer pairs evaluated, four primer pairs and four double primer pairs were highly specific to E. australiana and did not amplify Erysiphe pulchra of dogwood, Erysiphe syringae of common lilac, Erysiphe circinata of maple, or Phyllactinia guttata of oak. The E. australiana-specific primers amplified 16 samples of crape myrtle powdery mildew collected from diverse locations in mid-Tennessee. These results clearly showed that the crape myrtle powdery mildew in mid-Tennessee was caused by E. australiana. Specific primers reported in this article provide a diagnostic tool and may be used to confirm the identity of crape myrtle powdery mildew pathogen in other areas in the United States and wherever the disease occurs
