First report of a new leaf blight disease of bletilla (Bletilla striata) caused by Curvularia reesii in China

Bletilla striata is an important Chinese herbal plant grown widely in southwest China (Qian et al. 2021). Leaf blight was found on cultivated bletilla crops in Yunnan in 2021. The disease infected bletilla leaves and it was present in the field from April to November with the highest incidence (86%...

520 |a Bletilla striata is an important Chinese herbal plant grown widely in southwest China (Qian et al. 2021). Leaf blight was found on cultivated bletilla crops in Yunnan in 2021. The disease infected bletilla leaves and it was present in the field from April to November with the highest incidence (86% plants diseased) recorded in early September in Puer area. Foliar lesions were circular (Φ0.5-1.8 cm) or oval, with pale-gray center and narrow gray-brown outer area surrounded by a yellow halo. The lesions coalesced later to form large irregular spots or blighted areas on leaves. Symptomatic bletilla leaves were sampled from fields in Jiangcheng (E101.8672o, N22.5803o) and Simao (E109.7816o, N22.7891o) counties, Yunnan in July 2021. Seven fungal isolates were obtained from (BJ01-BJ04) and Simao samples (HBJ05-HBJ07) via lesion-tissue culture and hypha-tip purification on PDA medium. A pathogenicity test following Koch's Postulates (Grimms et al. 2006) was conducted using each isolate by inoculating 45-day old bletilla plant (n=30, Zihua cultivar) in a greenhouse through spraying hypha-spore suspension (3.25×104 CFU/mL) prepared with 14 d fresh DNA culture. Non-inoculated plants (n=30) were used as controls. The experiment was repeated once. The isolates BJ02 and HBJ06 (deposited in Yunnan Agric. Univ. Microbes Herbarium) were shown pathogenic to bletilla since similar lesions formed on seedlings 7 d post inoculation and pure fungal cultures with the same colony morphology as those of BJ02 and HBJ06 were re-isolated from leaf lesions 14 dpi. Isolates BJ02 and HBJ06 produced identical colony and conidium morphology after they were incubated at 25oC for 7 d on PDA. Colonies were circular, pale brown, Φ5.5-7.5cm, with villous surface and abundant aerial hyphae. Mycelia were septate, colorless, Φ3-4 µm and with acute-angled branches. Conidiophores developed from hyphae were erect, septate, pale-brown colored and 60-200 µm long. Conidia (produced scarcely and ripened slowly) were long-oval or petaloid, straight or slightly curved, brown, sized 28-45×10-14 µm. Most conidia were divided into 4 cells by 3 septa; the middle two were bigger than the basal and apex cells. Both BJ02 and HBJ06 were identified as Curvularia sp. based on their morphological characters (Tan et al. 2018). The rDNA-ITS, TEF1α and GAPDH genes (Tan et al. 2018) were amplified from these isolates with PCR (White et al. 1990) and sequenced. ITS sequences of the two isolates were both 574 bp (acc. no. OL587997 & OL336480) and 100% (574/574 bp) identical shown by blast comparison. Further blast analyses of ITS (574 bp, OL587997), TEF1α (532 bp, ON637120) and GAPDH (881 bp, ON637121) from isolate BJ02 showed that they were 99.27% (547/551 bp), 100% (842/842 bp) and 99.8% (507/508 bp) identical respectively with those of Curvularia reesii BRIP4358 (MH414907). The 3 genes of BJ02 were concatenated and phylogenic analysis (Tamura et al, 2013) of the concatenated sequence with those of Curvularia spp. showed that BJ02 was clustered with C. reesii BRIP4358 on the same end-branch of the tree with 100% confidence. Therefore, BJ02 and HBJ06 are the same species identified as Curvularia reesii and it is the pathogen causing bletilla leaf blight. C. reesii was first isolated from the air in Australia in 1963 and was named by Tan et al. in 2018. It has not been reported as a plant pathogen elsewhere. This is the first record of this fungus causing bletilla leaf blight in China.
