First Report of Exserohilum rostratum Causing Leaf Blight on Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) in China

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is not only an important crop worldwide with a large amount of production and consumption annually, but also rich in biologically active compounds (Surh et al., 2021). In November 2022, an unknown leaf blight was observed in the Broccoli planting area, Wenzh...

520 |a Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is not only an important crop worldwide with a large amount of production and consumption annually, but also rich in biologically active compounds (Surh et al., 2021). In November 2022, an unknown leaf blight was observed in the Broccoli planting area, Wenzhou City of Zhejiang Province (28.05 °N, 120.31 °E). Symptoms initially occurred at the leaf margin with yellow to gray lesions that were irregular and wilting. Approximately 10% of the surveyed plants were affected. To determine the pathogen, leaves with blight were collected randomly from five B. oleracea plants. Tissue blocks (3×3 mm) from diseased leaf portions were disinfected with 75% ethanol, rinsed three times with sterilized water, placed aseptically onto potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium, and incubated for 5 days at 28℃ in darkness. Seven fungal isolates with the same morphology were obtained using the spore method. The observed colonies were circular, taupe, pewter in color with light gray edging and many cottony aerial mycelia. Conidia were straight, curved or slightly bent, ellipsoidal to fusiform, and septate (typically 4-8 septa per conidium), with the size of 50.0-90.0 μm × 10.0-20.0 μm (n=30). The conidia had a slightly protruding and truncate hilum. These morphological characteristics were consistent with Exserohilum rostratum (Sharma et al., 2014). To further identify the pathogen, isolate WZU-XLH1 was chosen as a representative and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase-like (GAPDH) gene were amplified and sequenced using primer pairs ITS1/ITS4 (White et al., 1990) and Gpd1/Gpd2 (Berbee et al., 1999), respectively. The ITS and gpd gene sequences of isolate WZU-XLH1 were deposited in the GenBank database with accession numbers OQ750113 and OQ714500, respectively. BLASTn analysis showed matches of 568/571 (MH859108) and 547/547 (LT882549) with Exserohilum rostratum CBS 188.68. A neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree was constructed by combining the two sequenced loci, this isolate in the E. rostratum species complex clade at 71% bootstrap support.To verify the pathogenicity of the isolate, ten healthy Broccoli (cultivar 'You Xiu') seedlings with at least five leaves were divided into two groups: one group was inoculated with the isolate, while the other group served as a control. After surface disinfection with 75% ethanol and wiping with sterile water, tiny wounds were made on two leaves (two wounds in one leaf) using an inoculation needle. Fungal culture plugs cut from the isolate were placed on the wounds, while sterile PDA plugs served as the control. The leaves were sealed in wet airtight bags to retain moisture at room temperature with natural light (Cao et al., 2022). After five days, all leaves inoculated with isolate WZU-XLH1 showed symptoms identical to those observed in the field, with no symptoms present in the control group. The pathogenicity was confirmed by repeating the test in triplicate, and fungi re-isolated from symptomatic leaves were identified as E. rostratum by the morphological and molecular methods described above. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of E. rostratum causing leaf blight on broccoli in China. This study contributes to our understanding of B. oleracea leaf blight and establishes a basis for future studies on E. rostratum to develop management strategies
