First report of root rot of strawberry caused by Fusarium cugenangense, a member of the F. oxysporum species complex, in Tennessee, USA

Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch) in Tennessee is cultivated on plastic mulched beds annually, and production is limited primarily by multiple oomycete and fungal root rot pathogens that result in reduced vigor and black root rot disease symptoms. In early June 2018, plants (cv. Chandler) with r...

520 |a Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch) in Tennessee is cultivated on plastic mulched beds annually, and production is limited primarily by multiple oomycete and fungal root rot pathogens that result in reduced vigor and black root rot disease symptoms. In early June 2018, plants (cv. Chandler) with reduced shoot vigor and size, and black, necrotic stunted roots were collected from Rhea County, TN. Roots and crowns of 10 plants were cut into 1-3 cm pieces and surface sterilized with 0.6% NaOCl, followed by 70% ethanol for 1 min each, and plated on water agar. White mycelia produced after 3 days were transferred to potato dextrose agar amended with 10 mg/liter rifampicin. After 10 days, fungal colonies were light purple on the surface and dark purple on the colony underside, later developing blue-black pigmentation on the underside. Microconidia on carnation leaf agar were ovoid to ellipsoid, aseptate or septate and 8.0 to 24.2 (13.7) × 3.0 to 4.5 (3.8) μm in size, macroconidia were 3 to 5 septate and falcate to almost straight and 33.7 to 52.8 (44.4) × 4.0 to 5.5 (4.9) μm in size (n=80); both conidia were produced on monophialides. Chlamydospores were globose and subglobose, formed terminally and intercalary on aerial, submerged, and surface mycelium, singly or in pairs and were abundantly produced in sucrose broth and on synthetic nutrient-poor agar (SNA) (diam. 7.6 μm). Morphology was consistent with Fusarium oxysporum (Leslie and Summerell, 2006) and F. cugenangense, a member of the F. oxysporum species complex, as described by Maryani et al. (2019). Fungal mycelia were used for PCR (Phire Plant Direct PCR Master Mix, Thermo Scientific, CA) and the translational elongation factor 1-α (EF1α) region was amplified with primers EF-1/EF-2 (O'Donnell et al., 1998), internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions amplified with primers ITS1/ITS2 (White et al. 1990), and the RNA polymerase second largest subunit region (RPB2) with primer pairs 5f2/7cr and 7cf/11ar (O'Donnell et al., 2022). PCR products of isolate SC5 were sequenced, and sequences compared to all sequences in the FUSARIOID-ID database using polyphasic identification (Crous et al., 2021) with EF1α (GenBank Accession No. ON703236) and RPB2 (OR472390) sequences. The highest similarity (100%) was with isolates of F. cugenangense, including ex-type isolate InaCC F984 (99.94% similarity) (Maryani et al., 2019). F. cugenangense is closely related to F. callistephi and F. elaeidis, but both species lack chlamydospores, and F. elaeidis has polyphialides (Lombard et al, 2019). To satisfy Koch's postulates, healthy rooted strawberry plants produced in soilless media were transplanted into 4 plastic pots (1.2-liter) containing 5% (w/v) fungal inoculum (grown on barley grain) and mixed into the top 5-cm of peat-based soilless medium. Pots were incubated at 25°C and 50% RH in a growth chamber. Four pots without inoculum served as controls. The trial was repeated. Within 8 weeks, all inoculated plants had low vigor, with necrotic and stunted roots. Root sections of control and inoculated plants were plated, and the pathogen was re-isolated from diseased roots of all inoculated plants only and confirmed as F. cugenangense based on morphology and sequence analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of F. cugenangense, or any member of the F. oxysporum species complex, causing root rot of strawberry in Tennessee and could be an important component of the production-limiting black root rot disease complex of strawberry
