First Report of Fusarium fujikuroi Causing Postharvest Rot of Kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) in Jiangxi Province, China

Kiwifruits (Actinidia chinensis) are among the most widely planted fruit in Jiangxi Province, China. Infected kiwifruits of the cultivars 'Hongyang' and 'Jinyan' were obtained from a commercial orchard in Fengxin county, Jiangxi Province (28°67' N; 115°42' E) from Septe...

520 |a Kiwifruits (Actinidia chinensis) are among the most widely planted fruit in Jiangxi Province, China. Infected kiwifruits of the cultivars 'Hongyang' and 'Jinyan' were obtained from a commercial orchard in Fengxin county, Jiangxi Province (28°67' N; 115°42' E) from September to November 2022. The 1200 kiwifruits were collected from cold storage (cold stored for 3 months at 2°C), and moved to room temperatures (15 to 20°C), approximately 20% had symptoms of postharvest soft rot 7 days later. The infected fruits had brown or dark gray spots on the peel. Most were round or oval, with a diameter of approximately 1~3 cm. The pulp was milky white, and there was a waterlogged ring at the junction of decay. The pathogen was isolated by removing several small pieces (3×3 mm) of infected tissue from the diseased kiwifruits, which were sterilized with 75% ethanol for 30 s, dipped in 1% NaClO for 1 min, and rinsed three times with sterile distilled water. These pieces were transferred onto potato dextrose agar (PDA) and incubated for 5 days at 28°C, 75% relative humidity (RH), separated, and repurified. Eight unidentified isolates with similar morphology were obtained on PDA (D3-1 to D3-8). These isolates had abundant aerial fluffy mycelia. The colonies were white during the early stage of culture and turned light purple in the later stage. The mycelia grew 5.8 mm day-1 (n=5) on average and produced abundant conidia 10 days later. The microconidia were solitary, transparent, ovoid, with 0 to 1 septa, and 3.6 to 11.2 × 1.6 to 3.5 µm (average 6.5 × 2.9 µm, n = 50). The macroconidia were sickle-shaped, slender and slightly curved, with 3 to 5 septa, and 22.3 to 53.9 × 2.6 to 5.4 µm (average 39.5 × 4.3 µm, n = 50). Chlamydospores were absent. The morphological characteristics enabled the identification of the pathogen as Fusarium spp. (Leslie and Summerell, 2006). Isolate D3-2 was further confirmed, and the primers ITS1/ITS4 (White et al. 1990), 5F2/7CR and EF1/EF2 (O'Donnell et al. 2022) were used to amplify the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, RNA polymerase II largest subunit (RPB2) gene and translation elongation factor-1 alpha regions (TEF-1α). The ITS (accession no. PP077075), RPB2 (PP566653) and TEF-1α (PP566654) sequences shared 99.62 to 100% identities with ITS (ON564593.1), RPB2 (ON734380.1) and TEF-1α (ON697186.1) of F. fujikuroi from NCBI, respectively. Thus, the pathogen was identified as F. fujikuroi based on morphological and molecular characteristics. Each of the three isolates was inoculated on surface-disinfected (75% ethanol, 5 min) disease-free kiwifruits of cv. 'Jinyan' and 'Hongyang'. The six kiwifruits were pierced by a sterile inoculation needle and inoculated with 20 μl spore suspension (1×106 spores/ml), and six kiwifruits were treated with spore suspension without any wounds, four control fruits were inoculated with sterile distilled water. All the fruits were sealed in a storage box, kept at an RH of 90%-95%, and incubated at a constant temperature of 28°C for 5 days. After 3 days, the fruit rotted at the inoculation site, and after 5 days, the lesions gradually increased, and the symptoms were the same as those of the original sample. The control fruits remained disease-free. The pathogenicity tests were repeated three times. Koch's postulates were completed by reisolating the fungus from infected kiwifruits, which was identified as F. fujikuroi by sequencing. Although F. solani (Yang et al. 2018) and F. acuminatum (Wang et al. 2015) have been previously reported to rot kiwifruits in China, this is the first report of F. fujikuroi causing postharvest rot on kiwifruits in China. This discovery can alert agronomists to prevent and control this pathogen
