First Report of Cucurbit Yellow Vine Disease Caused by Serratia marcescens on Cucurbits in New York

Cucurbits are one of the most significant commodities in New York, with a value of $92.3 million in 2021 (NASS-USDA 2021). In August 2021, several acorn squash (Cucurbita pepo) cultivar Turbinate plants at Cornell AgriTech research farm in Geneva, NY, had chlorotic, wilting leaves, and older leaves...

520 |a Cucurbits are one of the most significant commodities in New York, with a value of $92.3 million in 2021 (NASS-USDA 2021). In August 2021, several acorn squash (Cucurbita pepo) cultivar Turbinate plants at Cornell AgriTech research farm in Geneva, NY, had chlorotic, wilting leaves, and older leaves appeared scorched. The phloem of stems, bisected at the crown, had a honey-brown discoloration. The incidence of symptomatic plants was 22% in a one-acre planting field. Most of the symptomatic plants rapidly declined and died. The following year, similar symptoms were observed on muskmelon (Cucumis melo), acorn squash, and winter squash (C. pepo) cultivar Bush Delicata at the same location. These symptoms were typical of Cucurbit Yellow Vine Disease (CYVD) caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Serratia marcescens (Bruton et al. 1998, 2003). Moreover, a high incidence of squash bugs (vector of CYVD) was observed. To identify the causal agent, 45 stems from the symptomatic Bush delicata plants were collected. Each stem was cut into small pieces (2 to 3 mm), surface sterilized with 70% ethanol for 60 sec, 10% bleach for 60 sec, and rinsed with sterile water. The tissue was macerated in sterile water, and the resultant suspension was streaked on King's B (KB) medium (King et al. 1954). Plates were incubated at 28°C for 24 h, and 11 developed white, round bacterial colonies that were smooth and creamy in appearance. Single colonies were transferred to new KB plates and incubated for 24 h. The genomic DNA of two isolates (22212 and 22213) was extracted with the Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit Protocol (Promega, Madison, WI). PCR was carried out using YV1 and YV4 primers specific to the 16S rDNA region of S. marcescens and 79F/R primers specific for S. marcescens causing CYVD (Zhang et al. 2005). The DNA sequence of each PCR product was obtained using Sanger sequencing and submitted to GenBank. Accessions OQ584799 and OQ584800 for YV1/YV4 (isolates 22212 and 22213, respectively) exhibited 100% identity to S. marcescens (384/384 bp, nearest accession identity: CP083754). Accession numbers OQ693911 and OQ693912 for 79F/R showed 99% identity to S. marcescens isolates (309/313 bp, nearest accession identity: CP033623). To fulfill Koch's postulates, Bush Delicata squash plants were grown for two weeks in a greenhouse, and three plants per isolate were inoculated using S. marcescens 22212 and 22213, three plants with Escherichia coli DH5a as a non-pathogenic control, distilled water as a mock-inoculated control, and a noninoculated control. Inoculation was performed by taking a single bacterial colony with a small pin and puncturing the plant's lower stem four to five times (Bruton et al. 2003). Twenty-eight days after inoculation, three of the six plants inoculated with the two S. marcescens isolates (two from 22212 and one from 22213) developed CYVD symptoms as observed in the field. Isolations were made from the stems of symptomatic plants and the mock-inoculated controls. PCR was conducted using YV1/YV4 primers and 79F/R primers (Zhang et al. 2005). Only isolations from symptomatic plants amplified with these primers and PCR products were sequenced. These sequences were identical to the original isolates. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CYVD and phytopathogenic S. marcescens in New York. The impact of CYVD can be substantial, with losses up to 100% (Zhang et al. 2005). Therefore, more knowledge on S. marcescens is needed to determine its biology and prevalence in New York
