First Report of Leaf Blight of Onion Caused by Xanthomonas campestris in the Continental United States

In March 1998, a leaf blight of onion (Allium cepa L. '1015') was found on many plants in a plot on the Texas A&M Agricultural Experiment Station in Weslaco. The symptoms were longitudinal chlorotic areas on one side of the leaf, containing sunken, elliptical necrotic lesions. Affected...

520 |a In March 1998, a leaf blight of onion (Allium cepa L. '1015') was found on many plants in a plot on the Texas A&M Agricultural Experiment Station in Weslaco. The symptoms were longitudinal chlorotic areas on one side of the leaf, containing sunken, elliptical necrotic lesions. Affected leaves ultimately died. Chlorotic lesions were swabbed with 70% ethanol, and tissue from beneath the epidermis was placed in a drop sterile water for 20 min. Drops were streaked on nutrient agar and incubated at 30°C. Isolations yielded gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria that formed dark yellow, gummy colonies on yeast dextrose carbonate agar medium, hydrolyzed starch, and had a single, polar flagellum. Analysis of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profiles, using the Microbial Identification System (MIS, version 4.15; Microbial Identification, Newark, DE), done at the Texas Plant Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, College Station, identified nine isolates as Xanthomonas campestris (similarity indices of 0.31 to 0.54). Tests at the University of Florida supported this identification: FAME profiles using MIS version 3.9 gave similarity indices of 0.89 to 0.95, and profiles using Biolog GN Microplates, MicroLog database release 3.50 (Biolog, Hayward, CA), gave similarity indices of 0.03 to 0.76. Leaves (15 to 20 cm long) of potted onions (cv. 1015 at the five- to six-leaf stage) were infiltrated with a suspension of bacteria (107 CFU per ml), using a needle and syringe. Plants were maintained in mist chamber in a greenhouse at 24°C. Water-soaking and development of pale green color of the inoculated leaf occurred after 2 days, followed by death after 4 days. There were no symptoms on leaves inoculated with sterile water. Pathogenicity tests on four isolates were repeated once. Bacteria were reisolated on nutrient agar from symptomatic tissue but not from controls. In the field plot, disease severity did not increase as season progressed nor were there any symptoms on bulbs. Symptoms were not observed on onion during the 1999 season. X. campestris was first reported on onion from Hawaii (1). This is the first report of this pathogen on onion in the continental United States. Reference: (1) A. M. Alvarez et al.
