520 |a Horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc., Fabaceae) is an important legume crop cultivated widely in the arid and semiarid regions. During a survey carried out in the Mysore district (Karnataka, India, October 2021), horse gram plants showed the symptoms of southern blight disease. Disease incidence ranged from 20-27% in the approximate 52 hectares of horse gram fields evaluated. The symptoms initiated as tan lesions and the developing mycelial threads colonized the infected root-stem interface, causing girdling; lesions on leaves enlarged and developed into distinct spots. Infected parts (leaves & stem) (n=30) were collected in poly bags and incubated in a moist chamber overnight, followed by surface sterilization of small segments of stem, leaf with 2% NaOCl, rinsed with sterile water (SW), and placed onto the potato dextrose agar (PDA, HiMedia Lab, Mumbai) supplemented with chloramphenicol (40 mg/L). The plates were incubated at room temperature (28 ± 2°C) for 5-7 days. The fungal colonies developed from the diseased segments were sub-cultured through hyphal tipping to fresh PDA plates and pure cultures were obtained. Fungal colonies with dense, aerial whitish-cottony mycelia with uniformly globoid sclerotia (0.52.9 mm) were observed after 1012 days of incubation. Sclerotia were white in the beginning and turned to brown later. The average number of sclerotia produced per plate ranged from 112 to 320 (n = 20). To determine the identity of the isolated fungal pathogen, ITS-rDNA was amplified and sequenced using ITS1/ITS4 (White et al. 1990) primers. The amplified PCR product was purified and sequenced directly. The ITS sequences (OM037658 & OM037659) shared 100% (630/643bp) sequence similarity to Athelia rolfsii (KY640622.1, AB075298). The phylogenetic tree (Neighbour-Joining method) constructed based on ITS-rDNA region confirmed that the sequences shared a common clade with reference sequence of A. rolfsii. Thus the identity was confirmed based on micromorphology and phylogenetic analysis. Pathogenicity tests were conducted on a total of 20 plants (5-6 weeks old) in greenhouse conditions (at 28 ± 2°C and 70% relative humidity) by inoculating with sclerotia from 15 days old cultures on stem and leaves and 14 plants were found infected after 5 days of post-inoculation, while uninoculated control plants remained healthy. Similarly, detached leaf assay (Mahadevakumar et al., 2018) was performed under in vitro conditions at 28 ± 2°C in a moist chamber and 28 out of 30 leaves showed the leaf spot symptoms after 3-5 days of inoculation. Uninoculated control leaves remained healthy. The identity of the fungus was confirmed by morphology and molecular analysis after re-isolation. The occurrence as a pathogen on horse gram has not been previously reported elsewhere. This is the first report of southern blight disease caused by A. rolfsii on horse gram from India. Early diagnosis of this leaf spot disease will help the farmers to adopt suitable management practices to avoid loss in production
