Detection of a Phytophthora sp. Causing Asparagus Spear and Root Rot in Michigan

In the spring of 2004, a Phytophthora sp. was isolated from asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) spears, roots, and dormant crowns from several fields in Oceana and Ingham counties in Michigan. Symptomatic spears were often curved, had water-soaked lesions slightly above or below the soil line or were...

520 |a In the spring of 2004, a Phytophthora sp. was isolated from asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) spears, roots, and dormant crowns from several fields in Oceana and Ingham counties in Michigan. Symptomatic spears were often curved, had water-soaked lesions slightly above or below the soil line or were shriveled at the site of infection or both. Infected storage roots had water-soaked lesions but were not soft at the lesion site. Infected crowns had fewer roots than healthy crowns. In the laboratory, plant tissues were rinsed in tap water and blotted dry. Sections from the edge of lesions were placed aseptically onto BARP (25 ppm of benomyl, 100 ppm of ampicillin, 30 ppm of rifampicin, and 100 ppm of pentachloroni-trobenzene) amended unclarified V8 juice agar and incubated at 25°C for up to 7 days. Phytophthora sp. isolates recovered from the infected material produced ovoid, nonpapillate, noncaducous sporangia and amphigy-nous oospores on isolation media. Single-sporangium cultures made for each isolate were stored long term in sterile 2-ml microcentrifuge tubes containing two 7-mm mycelial plugs, two sterile hemp seeds, and 1 ml of sterile distilled water. Sporangia produced on dilute V8 juice agar averaged 45 μm long × 26 μm wide and oospores were 25 to 30 μm in diameter. Chlamydospores were not observed. Five detached 'Jersey Knight' spears were inoculated with a 7-mm mycelial plug from the edge of actively growing 5-day-old cultures and incubated at 23 to 25°C for 5 to 7 days in a moist chamber. After 3 days, water-soaked lesions and shriveling and curving of the spears were visible on all inoculated spears. The pathogen was always reisolated from the lesion edge. No symptoms were observed when spears were inoculated with sterile V8 juice agar plugs. DNA was extracted from representative isolates, and the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region was amplified with ITS6 and ITS4 primers and sequenced. A BLAST search of the NCBI database with the ITS sequence revealed Phytophthora sp. UQ2141, Accession No. AF266795, as the closest match with 99% sequence similarity. These results, coupled with the morphological characteristics of the isolates, indicate that the Phytophthora sp. isolated from asparagus in Michigan is among the constituents of Phytophthora spp. included in the P. megasperma clade 6 (2), whose taxa are currently being reevaluated. Although a Phytophthora sp. has been described previously on asparagus (1,3), this is the first report, to our knowledge, of a Phytophthora sp. on asparagus in Michigan. The occurrence of excessive rainfall in the spring of 2004 is likely responsible for widespread disease and considerable yield losses in production fields. References: (1) P. A. Ark and J. T.
