First Report of Coptis Wilt Disease Caused by Plectosphaerella cucumerina in China

Coptis (Coptis chinensis) belongs to the Ranunculaceae family, the rhizomes used in traditional Chinese medicine. Since 2021, an uncommon stem and leaf wilt disease, with an average disease incidence of 70%~90%, has been observed in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces. The early wilt symptoms were obser...

520 |a Coptis (Coptis chinensis) belongs to the Ranunculaceae family, the rhizomes used in traditional Chinese medicine. Since 2021, an uncommon stem and leaf wilt disease, with an average disease incidence of 70%~90%, has been observed in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces. The early wilt symptoms were observed on older leaves and stems, and the whole seedling wilted and died. The rhizome of the diseased seedlings changed in color, became necrotic, and rotted. Symptomatic roots and stems were surface-sterilized with 70% ethanol for 30 s, followed by 0.2% NaClO for 2-3 min, rinsed in sterile water three times, and then placed on potato dextrose agar (PDA) at 25℃for 14 days. Fungal growth was observed, and six isolates with similar morphology were obtained. The 14-day-old colonies on PDA were buff with few aerial hyphae and slimy surfaces. Aerial hyphae were sparse with simple or branched conidiophores. Conidia were hyaline, smooth, ovoid, septate or aseptate, and 5.77 to 9.53 × 2.15 to 3.32 µm (n = 50). Three of the six isolates were subjected to further analysis. The genomic DNA of three isolates (CCF1-1, CCF1-2, CCF1-3) was extracted using Axygen MAG-FRAG- I-50 (Axygen Bio-Tek) for molecular identification. Partial sequences of the internal transcribed spacer of rDNA (ITS) and large subunit rDNA (LSU) were amplified using the primers ITS1/4 and LR5F/LROR, respectively (Vilgalys and Hester 1990). Their sequences were aligned by MEGA X (Kumar et al., 2018), and the sequences of each region showed 100% sequence similarity among our isolates. A BLAST search of ITS and LSU sequences (accession nos. ON377369, ON428244) showed that both regions had the highest nucleotide similarities (99.43 to 99.89%) to the Plectosphaerella cucumerina strains. Based on morphological and molecular analyses, the isolates were identified as P. cucumerina (Palm et al. 1995). The pathogenicity of our isolates CCF1-1, CCF1-2, CCF1-3 was tested on ten 2-month-old healthy seedlings of coptis, respectively. For the seedlings, 30 ml of fungal conidial suspension (1×106 conidia/ml) or sterile water, as control, were poured into their root area. Conidia suspension were prepared from 14-day-old cultures on PDA by eluting with sterilized water. The seedlings were incubated at 25°C and 75% relative humidity under a 12-h/12-h light/dark cycle. The test was repeated three times. After 20 days, only seedlings inoculated with P. cucumerina exhibited symptoms similar to those diseased seedlings in the field. The control seedling had no symptoms. The morphologically similar fungus was re-isolated from the tested seedlings, thus fulfilling Koch's postulates. Based on molecular, morphological, and pathogenic properties, P. cucumerina is the causal fungal pathogen of coptis wilt disease. Previously, P. cucumerina has been related to wilt disease in strawberry and Chinese cabbage (Yang et al. 2023; Gao et al. 2022), but to our knowledge, this is the first report of P. cucumerina causing wilt disease on coptis in China. Coptis wilt disease tends to occur in a warm and rainy environment, and strengthening the detection and quarantine of seedlings is the key to preventing the occurrence and spread of the disease
