First Report of Aspergillus niger causing rot of Morchella sextelata in China

As an important edible mushroom, morel mushroom (Morchella spp.) has been widely spread and cultivated in China. However, between 2022 and 2023, a rot disease with a natural incidence of 28% occurred in morel mushroom farms in the Qingpu district of Shanghai (N30°97', E121°06'), China. Hig...

520 |a As an important edible mushroom, morel mushroom (Morchella spp.) has been widely spread and cultivated in China. However, between 2022 and 2023, a rot disease with a natural incidence of 28% occurred in morel mushroom farms in the Qingpu district of Shanghai (N30°97', E121°06'), China. High temperatures (>20℃) and high humidity (>70%) provide conditions conducive to the spread of this disease. First, a small white mold-like symptoms appeared on the surface or the pinnacle of pileus. The tissues in the infected parts stop growing and developing.Then the lesion developed to encircle the pileus and spread gradually to the stipe, seriously affecting its yield and quality. The infected tissue of morel fruiting body at the edge of the lesions was isolated and cultivated on potato dextrose agar (PDA) at 28℃ in the dark. After 3 days, monospore cultures formed black cottony colonies. In order to reliably identify, isolates were transferred to Czapek Yeast Autolysate agar (CYA) (Samson et al, 2014). On CYA fungal colonies consisted of a white mycelium, covered by a layer of black conidiophores. Scanning electron microscope analysis revealed that mature mycelia produced conidiophores ended with numerous metula and phialides. The phialides showed the number of conidia bearing rounded spores, which coincides with previous research(Silva et al, 2020). To confirm the identity of the pathogen, the genomic fragments for the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), beta-microtubulin (BenA), calmodulin (CaM), and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2) gene of the isolate were amplified by PCR (White et al. 1990; Glass et al. 1995; Hong et al. 2005; Liu et al. 1999). The resulting sequence was deposited in GenBank with accession OQ931346.1, OR393310, OR393311, and OR393312, respectively. PCR results and morphological observations indicated the isolated strain was a pure culture and the strain was designated as MOR02. Comparison results indicated that the sequences with accession numbers KF305756.1, MK450794.1, HQ285594.1, and HQ285594.1 have high identity with the molecular sequences of A. niger MOR02, which is 99%, 98%, 98%, 99%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis with ITS and RBP2 genes of the isolated strain and 9 Aapergillus spp. strains were performed using MEGAX software with Neighbor-Joining (NJ) method. Based on the results of growth habits, morphological observations, and phylogenetic analysis, the pathogen was identified as A. niger. A spore suspension of the A. niger strain MOR02 (1 x107 conidia/mL) was inoculated back to healthy morel mushrooms. Five healthy fruit bodies of M. sextelata were injected, and another five healthy morels were treated with potato dextrose broth(PDB) medium as controls. Morels were incubated for 7 days at 20℃ and 85% to 90% relative humidity. The pathogen successfully infected the morel showing a similar white mold-like lesion as the natural occurrence disease. The controls remained healthy without any symptoms. The pathogen was reisolated from the affected lesions and identified as A. niger MOR02 based on its morphological characteristics and phylogenetic marker genes. To our knowledge, this is the first report of A. niger causing rot disease of M. sextelata. This study confirms that A. niger is the pathogenic fungus causing morel rot on the Qingpu farm in Shanghai. The disease occurs under conditions of high humidity and high-temperature conditions. Better production management is the most important to prevent the disease
