520 |a The soybean production area is expanding in Uzbekistan. Soybeans were planted on an area of 10 thsd ha and the harvest amounted to 30 thsd metric tons in 2023 (IPAD, https://ipad.fas.usda.gov/countrysummary). Macrophomina phaseolina (Mp) is a soil- and seed-borne fungal pathogen causing economically important diseases of legume crops (Pennerman et al. 2024). Drought stress and a warm climate are favorable to this pathogen (Irulappan et al. 2022). Under these conditions, its microsclerotia survive for a longer period and become more virulent (Chamorro et al. 2015). In August 2022, typical symptoms of charcoal rot were observed in about 25% of "Orzu" soybean cultivar affecting 6 ha located on the experimental base "Durmon" of our institute. Diseased plants displayed the following charcoal rot symptoms: leaves turn yellow, then wilt, die, and remain attached to the plant; the lower portion of the stem and tap root have a light gray or ashy black discoloration; tiny black specks on the lower stem and root; after splitting the stem, it has the appearance of fine charcoal powder. In order to determine the causal agent of these symptoms, a total of 17 diseased plants were collected from focal lesions in soybean plantings. From each plant, twelve sections of stem and root tissue were selected, cut into small 5-mm pieces, and surface sterilized with 1% sodium hypochlorite for four minutes, then rinsed three times with sterile distilled water. The disinfected tissues were dried on sterile filter paper for 5 min and placed on PDA Petri plates, which were incubated in an incubation chamber for 3 days (16 h light (26oC) and 8 h dark (18oC)). Fungi were subsequently subcultured on PDA and incubated for 7 days to obtain pure cultures. Six monohyphal colonies were purified. The colonies showed dense growth, with a gray initial mycelium becoming darker with aging. After 8 days on PDA, black-colored microsclerotia with spherical to oblong shapes were observed. On average, they measured 60 µm in width and 130 µm in length (n = 30). From six isolated monohyphal colonies, one has been chosen for molecular-genetic identification. Molecular-genetic analysis was conducted by amplification and sequencing of the ITS region with the ITS1 and ITS4 primers (White et al. 1990). The resulting sequence was deposited in the NCBI database under accession number OQ073450. After BLAST analysis (Altschul et al. 1990) it was 100% identical with the reference sequences of Mp (accession MT039671, MT039663 and MH496040) isolated in sugar beet, maize and sunflower, respectively, from Serbia. In order to verify the pathogenicity, soybean seedlings (cv. Orzu) were dipped into spore suspension (1 × 107 spores/ml) of sequenced strain R-17 for 1 minute and transferred to a 15 cm diameter plastic pot with 350 g of sterilized soil mix. After 25 days, the inoculated plants showed classic charcoal rot symptoms, while the control plants remained healthy. The pathogen was successfully reisolated from the infected seedlings onto PDA, fulfilling Koch's postulate. The identity of the re-isolated strain was confirmed by morphological features and sequencing of the ITS region. It should be noted that in Uzbekistan, Mp has not been documented in any plants. Therefore, according to our knowledge, this is the first report of this fungus affecting soybean plants in Uzbekistan. Since molecular-genetic analysis of the R-17 strain showed clustering with strains from Serbia, we speculate that there may have been a recent introduction of Mp from Serbia into Uzbekistan. This assumption is additionally confirmed by the fact that Serbia is the largest seed exporter in Uzbekistan. The increase in charcoal rot disease poses a major challenge to soybean production in Uzbekistan. Understanding the genetic diversity of Mp can be utilized to manage this disease, improve soybean yield, and help soybean breeding programs in Uzbekistan
