First report of Neopestalotiopsis rosae causing leaf blight on Shatangju in southern China

Shatangju (Citrus reticulata Blanco cv. Shatangju) belongs to genus Citrus and was cultivated extensively in southern China. In April 2022, a leaf blight-like symptom (firstly brown spots appeared on infecting leaves, then these brown spots extended, finally the whole leaves displayed blight-like sy...

520 |a Shatangju (Citrus reticulata Blanco cv. Shatangju) belongs to genus Citrus and was cultivated extensively in southern China. In April 2022, a leaf blight-like symptom (firstly brown spots appeared on infecting leaves, then these brown spots extended, finally the whole leaves displayed blight-like symptom) was observed on 5%~10% of Shatangju seedlings (around five hundreds in total) in an orchard located in Wuhan city, Hubei, China. Diseased leaves from three seedlings were collected and cut into pieces (0.2 to 0.5 cm). These pieces were surface-sterilized using 75% ethanol for 3 min, rinsed with sterile distilled water for several times, then placed on potato dextrose agar (PDA) and incubated at 26°C with 12-h light/dark cycle. Over 20 pieces plated, wherein 30% were identified as Colletotrichum fructicola, 60% as Neopestalotiopsis spp., and 10% developed saprophytes. C. fructicola was a known pathogen on citrus, thus Neopestalotiopsis spp. was further investigated. Eight single-conidium colonies of the Neopestalotiopsis spp. were obtained, wherein STJ-8 was chosen as a representative for further study. The average growth rate of STJ-8 was 15.1±0.5 mm/day (n=5). Fungal colonies produced white cottony mycelium with abundant black acervuli distributed in concentric rings 6-8 days after planting, which ranged from 342.3 to 710.5 μm in diameter (n=100). Conidia were fusoid, five cells, four septa with average dimensions of 25.36×5.47 μm (n=100). Basal and apical cells were hyaline, wherein three middle cells were brown with darker septa. The apical cell was cylindrical with two to three transparent accessory filaments (13.7 to 30.5 µm in length, n=80). Basal cell was conic with an appendage (4.1 to 8.8 µm in length, n=40). Partial sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF-1α), and β-tubulin (TUB2) were amplified with reported primers (White et al. 1990; Lee et al. 2006; Maharachchikumbura et al. 2014), sequenced, and submitted to GenBank (accession nos. ITS: OP236541; TEF-1α: OP250124; TUB2:OP263094). BLASTn results showed 100% identity with the corresponding sequences of Neopestalotiopsis rosae. A multilocus phylogenetic analysis showed STJ-8 was closest to N. rosae. Thus, STJ-8 was identified as N. rosae. Pathogenicity tests were performed on one-year-old Shatangju seedlings and detached primary leaves by inoculating needle-wounded leaves with seven days old 5-mm mycelial plugs/acervuli (about 5000 spores) of STJ-8. Control seedlings/leaves were inoculated with 5-mm PDA plugs/sterile water drops. All inoculated detached leaves were cultured at same the place with STJ-8 cultured, while inoculated seedlings were put in a growth chamber at 26°C under a 16-h light/dark cycle (60% humidity). Symptoms developed on all inoculated leaves (except healthy control) 2 and 4 days post-inoculation by mycelial plugs and acervuli, respectively. N. rosae was re-isolated from the inoculated leaves, confirming Koch's postulates. N. rosae has been reported to cause diseases on various plants worldwide (Rebollar-Alviter et al. 2020; Xavier et al. 2021; Lawrence et al. 2022). In China, N. rosae has been reported to cause leaf spot/blight on pecan and strawberry (Wu et al. 2021; Gao et al. 2022), which caused great loss on these crops. To our knowledge, this is the first report of N. rosae causing leaf disease on citrus. Our study is important for developing control strategies against N. rosae in future
