First report of Cigar Tobacco Root Rot Caused by Setophoma terrestris in China

Cigar tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is widely planted in Yunnan, which is becoming an important economic crop in China. In March 2023, root rot of cigar tobacco (cv. Yunxue 38) was observed in Baoshan (98°51'E, 24°58'N), and in July 2022 root rot of tobacco (cv. Yunyan 87) was observed in...

520 |a Cigar tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is widely planted in Yunnan, which is becoming an important economic crop in China. In March 2023, root rot of cigar tobacco (cv. Yunxue 38) was observed in Baoshan (98°51'E, 24°58'N), and in July 2022 root rot of tobacco (cv. Yunyan 87) was observed in Dali (99°54'E, 26°30'N), Yunnan Province, China. The average disease incidences surveyed in the fields reached 10%. At the early stage, the bottom leaves showed wilting and turned yellow, and the roots became brown. Following the disease development, the color of roots turned to dark brown and ultimately necrosis. To isolate the causal agent, small pieces (5×5 mm) of diseased root from 6 symptomatic plant samples (three samples of cv. Yunxue 38 and three samples of cv. Yunyan 87) were cut. Pieces were surface-sterilized by dipping in 75% ethanol for 30 s, rinsed three times with sterile distilled water, then transferred to potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium and incubated at 28°C in the dark. Six fungal isolates cultured for 14 days were obtained. They were morphologically similar, so a representative isolate was selected for the following experiment. The colonies grew slowly on PDA, and their color were light pink initially, then changed to amaranth. Hyphae were hyaline and septate. Microconidia were hardly produced on PDA plates. After 14 days of culture on V8 juice agar, the colonies showed white aerial mycelia, and ellipsoidal and transparent conidia were observed, which measured 6.5 to 8.3 × 3.4 to 5.0 μm (n=20). Also, the pycnidia were measured 150 to 220 μm, that were subglobose in dark brown with brown setae. These morphological characteristics of 22DL91 were identical to S. terrestris (Boerema et al. 2004). For molecular identification, DNA was extracted and the PCR products of ITS region and polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2), amplified with the primers ITS1/ITS4 and RPB2-5F/RPB2-7cR, were sequenced. By BLASTn analysis, the obtained ITS sequences showed 100% homology and the RPB2 sequences showed 95% homology with S. terrestris strains in GenBank (accession ON006851 and OM417590). The sequences were deposited in NCBI with accession numbers OR539491 (ITS) and OR554276 (RPB2), respectively. Based on the morphology and phylogenetic analysis, the isolate was 22DL91 identified as S. terrestris. Pathogenicity was evaluated on 50-day-old cigar tobacco seedlings (cv. Yunxue 38) and tobacco seedlings (cv. Yunyan 87). Ten plants were inoculated with 20 mL of conidial suspension of 105 conidia/mL poured onto the roots and ten control seedlings dipped in sterile water as controls (Luo et al. 2023). After 14 days, all inoculated seedlings showed the symptoms with leaves yellowing and root rot, whereas the control seedlings had no symptoms. Moreover, the fungus S. terrestris was reisolated from the infected roots, fulfilling Koch's postulates. This fungus was previously known to cause pink root on garlic in China (Zhang et al. 2019). To our knowledge, this is the first report of S. terrestris causing root rot of Nicotiana tabacum in China. Therefore, this finding will provide valuable information for prevention and management of root rot on tobacco
