First report of Neopestalotiopsis clavispora causing leaf spot disease on banana (Musa acuminate L.) in China

Banana (Musa acuminate L.) is an important tropical fruit in China. In October 2020, a new leaf spot disease was observed on banana plants at an orchard of Zhenkang county (23°45'23.46″ N, 98°48'46.52″ E), Lincang city, Yunnan province, China. The disease incidence was about 1%. The leaf s...

520 |a Banana (Musa acuminate L.) is an important tropical fruit in China. In October 2020, a new leaf spot disease was observed on banana plants at an orchard of Zhenkang county (23°45'23.46″ N, 98°48'46.52″ E), Lincang city, Yunnan province, China. The disease incidence was about 1%. The leaf spots occurred sporadically and the percentage of the leaf area covered by lesions was less than 5%. Symptoms on the leaves were initially small, irregular, reddish-brown spots that gradually expanded to fusiform-shaped lesions with a yellow halo and eventually become necrotic, dry, and cracked. To isolate the pathogen, thirty symptomatic leaves (15 mm2) from five plants were surface disinfected in 70% ethanol (10 s) and 0.8% NaClO (2 min), rinsed in sterile water three times, and transferred to potato dextrose agar (PDA) at 28°C for 5 days. Twenty-five colonies formed on the PDA plates were white with cottony aerial mycelium, round with a light orange underside. Abundant black globular acervuli semi-immersed on PDA were observed after a week. Conidia were straight or slightly curved, clavate to spindle, five cells, four septa with dimensions of 17.49 to 34.51 µm × 4.24 to 7.28 µm (avg. 23.83 × 5.62 µm; n=50). The apical and basal cells were hyaline, whereas the three median cells were dark brown. Conidia had a single basal appendage with lengths of 2.95 to 17.7 µm (avg. 7.18 µm; n=50) and two to three apical appendages with lengths of 10.7 to 53.84 µm (avg. 17.36 µm; n=50). These morphological characteristics are consistent with those of Neopestalotiopsis spp. (Maharachchikumbura et al. 2014). To confirm species, single-spore cultures of two representative isolates CATAS-102001 and CATAS-102002 were selected for further identification. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF1-α) and β-tubulin (TUB2) genes of the two isolates were amplified with primers ITS1/ITS4 (White et al. 1990), EF1-728/EF2 (O'Donnell et al. 1998; Carbone and Kohn, 1999) and T1/Bt2b (Glass and Donaldson, 1995; O'Donnell and Cigelnik, 1997), respectively, and sequenced. The sequences were deposited in GenBank (ITS: OM281005 and OM281006; TEF1-α: OM328820 and OM328821; TUB2: OM328818 and OM328819). A maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree was constructed using the MEGA 7.0 (Kumar et al. 2016) based on the concatenated sequences ITS region, EF1-α and TUB2 gene, and the cluster analysis placed the representative isolates CATAS-102001 and CATAS-102002 within a clade comprising Neopestalotiopsis clavispora. The pathogenicity of two isolates was conducted on six 7-leaf-old banana seedlings. Two leaves from each potted plants were stab inoculated by puncturing into 1-mm using a sterilized needle, and stabbing three points at both sides of leaf midrib, and then placing 10 μl conidial suspension (1×106 conidia/ml) on one side of wounded points and the other side of wounded points were inoculated with sterile water as control. Inoculated plants were kept inside a plastic bag for 72 h and maintained in the greenhouse (12 h/12 h light/dark, 28°C, 90% relative humidity). The experiments were repeated twice. Irregular necrotic lesions on inoculated leaves appeared 7 days after inoculation, whereas controls were asymptomatic. The fungus was recovered from inoculated leaves, and its taxonomy was confirmed morphologically and molecularly, fulfilling Koch's postulates. Neopestalotiopsis clavispora has been reported to cause leaf spot on Mangifera indica (Shu et al. 2020), Macadamia integrifolia (Santos et al. 2019) and Ligustrum lucidum (Chen et al. 2020). To our knowledge, this is the first report of N. clavispora on banana in China. The identification of N. clavispora as the causal agent of the observed leaf spot disease on banana is critical to the prevention and control of this disease in the future
