First Report of Target Spot Caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG-6 in Tobacco in China

Tobacco is an annual and solanaceous crop, which is widely produced in China. In July 2020, tobacco target spot was observed on 50% of tobacco plants in a 5-ha commercial field of Bijie (27.32° N, 105.29° E), Guizhou province, China. Typical symptoms firstly appeared on the old leaves as round water...

520 |a Tobacco is an annual and solanaceous crop, which is widely produced in China. In July 2020, tobacco target spot was observed on 50% of tobacco plants in a 5-ha commercial field of Bijie (27.32° N, 105.29° E), Guizhou province, China. Typical symptoms firstly appeared on the old leaves as round watery spots. Then the spots became a diameter of 2 to 20 cm, with concentric ring lines and dead spots. Fifteen small pieces (5 × 5 mm) of leaf tissue were cut from the edge of the lesions, surface sterilized and placed on potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium amended with kanamycin (0.1 mg/ml). Isolate J136, one of five isolates with similar morphology, was selected for pathogen identification. The culture of the isolate on PDA was brown and exhibited radial mycelial growth after incubation at 28 oC in darkness for 5 days. Hyphae of the fungus were white at the beginning, turned light brown to brown at the later stages, and finally became thick and separated. Sclerotia were brown and produced on PDA after 25 days of incubation in the dark. These characteristics were similar to the colony characteristics of R. solani. The genomic DNA of Isolate J136 was extracted using the CTAB method. PCR analyses were conducted using the following primers specifically designed for the detection of individual AGs or subgroups of R. solani: AG-1 IA, IB and IC (Kuninaga 2003), AG-2-1, AG-2-2, IIIB, IV and LP (Carling et al. 2002), AG-3 PT (Misawa 2015), AG-4 HG-I and HG-II (Kuninaga 2003), and AGs-5-6 (Arakawa and Inagaki 2014). Among the 12 specific primer pairs, only AG-6-specific primers amplified a fragment of ca. 230 bp product, indicating that the tested strain belonged to R. solani AG-6. The sequence was deposited in GenBank with accession no. MZ379468. Using BLASTN search, the sequence of the gene was aligned with the voucher specimen, R. solani AG-6. A phylogenetic tree was constructed based on these sequences. After wards, Isolate J136 was tested for hyphal anastomosis reaction using the R. solani AG-6 standard strain according to the method described by Ogoshi (1987). The hyphal diameter at the point of anastomosis was reduced, with obvious anastomosis point, and the death of adjacent cells, indicating their anastomosis reactions (Anderson 1982). Thus, based on the morphological and genetic analyses, the fungus was identified as R. solani AG-6. To verify its pathogenicity, six plants (cv. Yunyan87) at the 5-to-6 leaf stage were inoculated with mycelial PDA plugs (5 mm in diameter). Leaves inoculated with PDA-only plugs served as the controls. Treated tobacco plants were maintained at a temperature range of 15 to 25 oC in a greenhouse with 85% relative humidity. After 5 days inoculation, typical symptoms were observed on the inoculated leaves, whereas no symptoms were observed on the control leaves. Koch's postulates were fulfilled by re-isolation of the pathogen from the diseased leaves. R. solani AG-2-2 is the only previously reported group of R. solani, which causes tobacco target spot in the field (Gonzalez et al. 2011). Therefore, to our knowledge, this is the first report of R. solani AG-6 causing target spot of tobacco in the field in China. Since considerable losses caused by the disease have frequently happened in this region, addition of this new group pathogen in the disease pool can be more problematic. Proper disease control strategies are in need to be developed to prevent further losses
