First Report of Postharvest Stem End Rot of mango fruit (Mangifera indica) caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae in China

China is the second largest producer of mango in the world, a fruit has high nutritive value and a rich source of fiber (Kuhn et al., 2017). In late June 2019, a postharvest stem-end rot disease was observed in different local fruit markets (39°48'42.1"N 116°20'17.0"E) of the Fen...

520 |a China is the second largest producer of mango in the world, a fruit has high nutritive value and a rich source of fiber (Kuhn et al., 2017). In late June 2019, a postharvest stem-end rot disease was observed in different local fruit markets (39°48'42.1"N 116°20'17.0"E) of the Fengtai district of Beijing, China. Black rot symptomatic lesions were observed on the fruit surface which initially started from the stem end of the mango fruit (Fig. 1). Approximately 45 % of mango fruits were affected with the disease. Symptomatic portions from collected fruit samples (n=40) were cut into small pieces (2mm2), rinsed with 1% NaClO for 20s and then washed three times with sterilized distilled water (SDW) for surface disinfection. The disinfected pieces were then placed on sterilized filter paper for drying. Later, these pieces were placed on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) plates and incubated at 28°C for seven days. The resulting fungal colonies were purified by the single spore isolation technique. The isolated fungal colonies were initially greenish to gray in color, later turning olive-black to black. Conidia were dark brown in color, oval-shaped, two-celled and measured 22.4 to 25.7 (24.06 ± 0.15) μm in length and 10.2 to 12.8 (11.3 ± 0.13) μm in width (n=36). Based on the symptoms, culture morphology and microscopic characters, Lasiodiplodia theobromae was suspected as the causal agent, and similar results were reported by Pavlic et al., 2004 and Burgess et al., 2006. For molecular identification, a multi-locus sequence analysis approach was used. The Internal Transcribed Spacers (ITS) region, elongation factor 1 alpha (EF1-α) and β-tubulin genes were amplified and sequenced using ITS1/ITS4 (White et al. 1990), EF1-728F/EF1-986R (Carbone and Kohn, 1999), and Bt2a/Bt2b (Glass and Donaldson, 1995) primers respectively. The sequences of isolate MFT9 were deposited to GenBank (MW115977 (ITS), (MW118595 (EF1-α) and MW118596 (β-tubulin). All sequences showed more than 99.5% similarity with reported sequences of Lasiodiplodia theobromae isolate IBL340 with accessions numbers KT247466 (ITS), KT247472 (EF1-α) and KT247475 (β-tubulin). Phylogenetic reconstruction based on Maximum Likelihood, using Mega X (Kumar et al., 2018), grouped isolate MFT9 with isolates representing L. theobromae. Pathogenicity testing was performed on 18 fresh, healthy, medium-sized mango fruits for each treatment to fulfill Koch's postulate. The fruits were disinfested with 1% NaClO and punctured with a sterilized needle to create approximately 2mm2 wounds for inoculation. Fruits were inoculated with 15µL of fresh inoculum (107 spores/mL) from isolate MFT9. Control fruits were inoculated with 15µL of SDW and both the inoculated and control fruits were incubated at 28°C for seven days of post inoculation. The rot lesions appeared at the point of inoculation and gradually spread on the fruit surface. The symptoms were similar to the symptoms observed on the original fruit samples (Fig. 2). This experiment was conducted three times under the same conditions, with control fruits remaining asymptomatic each time. The re-isolated fungus was identified as L. theobromae based on symptoms and morpho-molecular analysis, described above. L. theobromae is also reported as a causal agent responsible for a postharvest stem-end rot on Coconut in China (Zhang, et al., 2019). To our knowledge, this is the first report of L. theobromae causing postharvest stem-end rot of mango fruit in China. This finding suggests that L. theobromae is a potential problem for mango fruit production in China
