First Report of Peach Scab Caused by Cladosporium tenuissimum in Mexico

Peach (Prunus persica) is one of the most popular stone fruits in the world. From 2019 to 2022, typical scab symptoms were observed on 70% of peach fruits in a commercial orchard in Tepeyahualco, Puebla, Mexico (19°30'38"N 97°30'57"W). Fruit symptoms are black circular lesions of...

520 |a Peach (Prunus persica) is one of the most popular stone fruits in the world. From 2019 to 2022, typical scab symptoms were observed on 70% of peach fruits in a commercial orchard in Tepeyahualco, Puebla, Mexico (19°30'38"N 97°30'57"W). Fruit symptoms are black circular lesions of 0.3 mm in diameter. The fungus was isolated from symptomatic fruit pieces that were surface sterilized with 1% sodium hypochlorite for 30 s, rinsed in autoclaved distilled water three times, placed on PDA medium, and incubated at 28°C in darkness for 9 days. Cladosporium-like colonies were isolated. Pure cultures were obtained by single spore culture. Colonies on PDA showed aerial mycelium abundant, smoke-grey, fluffy, and with margin glabrous to feathery. Conidiophores were solitary, long, intercalary conidia narrow erect, macro- and micronematous, straight or slightly flexuous, cylindrical-oblong, olivaceous-brown, and often subnodulose. Conidia (n= 50) catenate in branched chains, obovoid to limoniform, sometimes globose, aseptate, olivaceous-brown, apically rounded, 3.1 to 5.1 × 2.5 to 3.4 µm. Secondary ramoconidia (n= 50) were fusiform to cylindrical, smooth-walled, 0-1-septate, pale brown or pale olivaceous-brown, measuring 9.1 to 20.8 × 2.9 to 4.8 μm. Morphology was consistent to that described for Cladosporium tenuissimum (Bensch et al. 2012; 2018). A representative isolate was deposited in the Culture Collection of Phytopathogenic Fungi of the Department of Agricultural Parasitology at the Chapingo Autonomous University under the accession number UACH-Tepe2. To further confirm the morphological identification, total DNA was extracted using the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide method (Doyle and Doyle 1990). The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, partial sequences of the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (EF1-α) and actin (act) genes were amplified by PCR, and sequenced using the primer pairs ITS5/ITS4 (White et al. 1990), EF1-728F/986R, and ACT-512F/783R (Carbone and Kohn 1999), respectively. The sequences were deposited in GenBank under the accession numbers OL851529 (ITS), OM363733 (EF1-α), and OM363734 (act). BLASTn searches in GenBank showed 100% identity with available sequences of Cladosporium tenuissimum accession (ITS: MH810309; EF1-α: OL504967; act: MK314650). A phylogenetic analysis using the maximum likelihood method placed isolate UACH-Tepe2 in the same clade as C. tenuissimum. To verify the pathogenicity of the fungus, 20 healthy peach fruits were inoculated with four drops of 15 μl of a conidial suspension (1 × 106 spores /ml). Ten control fruit were treated with sterilized water. All the fruits were kept in a moist chamber at 25°C for 10 days. Circular and necrotic lesions were produced eight days after inoculation, whereas control fruits remained healthy. Pathogenicity test was conducted three times with similar results. Fungal colonies were reisolated from the artificially inoculated fruit, thus fulfilling Koch's postulates. Cladosporium tenuissimum has been previously reported to cause diseases on strawberry, cashew, papaya, and passionfruit in Brazil (Rosado et al. 2019; Santos et al. 2020), as well as diseases on pitaya, hydrangea, and carnation in China (Xu et al. 2020; Li et al. 2021; Xie et al. 2021). Cladosporium carpophilum is reported as the causal agent of peach scab. The environmental conditions for the development of C. carpophilum are 20-30 °C in warm humid areas (Lawrence and Zehr 1982), however, in this case the infection by C. tenuissinum occurred in a temperate semi-dry climate, with temperatures of 5 -15 °C and R.H. less than 50 % with an incidence of 80 %. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Cladosporium tenuissimum causing peach scab in Mexico and worldwide
