RESUMO

Hemp is a crop that has gained interest in Washington and Oregon. As with other crops, hemp production faces challenges due to biotic factors, including plant-parasitic nematodes. During a survey for plant-parasitic nematodes associated with hemp, Meloidogyne sp. was found in a composite root sample collected in Oregon. Morphological characterization of second-stage juveniles identified the nematode as Meloidogyne hapla. Molecular identification confirmed the population as M. hapla. To our knowledge, this is the first report of M. hapla on hemp in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.

RESUMO

Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is grown for cannabinoid oil production in Oregon. During the 2021 and 2022 growing seasons, plants with leaf curling, puckering, chlorotic mosaic, fasciation, and vein clearing were observed in disease surveys of Oregon hemp fields (Fig. 1). Symptoms were present on 1-10% of 2-4-month-old plants in fields located in Benton, Clackamas, Deschutes, Jackson, Josephine, Lane, Linn, Marion, Morrow, and Polk counties between July and September. Leaf and stem samples were collected from 38 symptomatic plants. Symptoms resembled those caused by beet leafhopper-vectored (BLH, Circulifer tenellus Baker) curtovirus or phytoplasma infection. Therefore, total nucleic acids were extracted (Dellaporta et al. 1983) from leaf material, and PCR conducted on all 38 samples to detect curtovirus coat proteins (BCTV-1/2 primers; Rondon et al. 2016) and 16S rRNA of phytoplasmas (nested primers P1/P7 followed by FU/RU; Lorenz et al. 1995). No curtoviruses or phytoplasmas were detected in any samples. Spiroplasma citri is also transmitted by BLH, so PCR was conducted with primers targeting the putative P89 adhesin gene and spiralin gene of S. citri (Yokomi et al. 2008). For all samples, PCR using P89F/R primers resulted in a 707 bp amplicon, and a 675 bp amplicon with Spiralin-f/r primers. PCR products were purified with ExoSapIT (Applied Biosystems, Waltham, MA), and two representative samples (ScH1; ScH2) were Sanger sequenced (EuroFins, Lancaster, PA) in the forward and reverse direction. Pairwise aligned P89 sequences were found to be 99 to 100% (ScH1: 633/637 bp; ScH2: 654/654 bp) identical to S. citri accession KT377386. Aligned/span>spiralin sequences were found to be 99 to 100% (ScH1: 661/664 bp; ScH2: 647/647 bp) identical to S. citri accession CP013197 in the NCBI GenBank Database. All sequences were deposited into GenBank (accession no. OQ969983, OQ992766, OQ969984, OQ969986). Frozen leaf material from one sample was used to culture S. citri according to Lee and Davis (1984). Leaf tissue was surface sterilized for 60 s in 1% NaOCl in 70% ethanol, cut into pieces in LD8 broth, and incubated for 25 min at 25˚C. The solution was passed through a 0.45um filter and incubated for 14 days at 30°C with constant shaking (150 rpm). Then, cultures were centrifuged for 2 min at 12,000 rpm to pelletize, resuspended in 100µL sterile distilled water and passed through a 0.2um filter. From this culture, 2 µL of broth was used as template for both the P89F/R and Spiralin-f/r primer sets. Amplicons were purified and sequenced as above (accession nos. OQ969982, OQ969985). Leaf tissue from both representative samples (ScH1 and ScH2) were positive for S. citri using double antibody sandwich ELISA (Agdia, Inc., Elkhart, IN) following manufacturer instructions. These results from sequencing, culturing, and ELISA testing indicate the hemp samples were infected with S. citri. To our knowledge this is the first report of disease symptoms in hemp associated with S. citri in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. Infection by S. citri can limit yield by reducing photosynthetic capability of the plant and distortion of plant growth. Other pathogens like curtoviruses and phytoplasmas have also been detected in hemp in Oregon and the U.S. (Hu 2021; Rivedal et al. 2022), and the addition of S. citri associated with disease symptoms indicates a need for BLH management research. This discovery has implications for arid regions with other S. citri hosts including cruciferous plants, carrots, and tree fruit crops, all of which were grown near the sampled hemp fields in this study.

RESUMO

Fusarium sambucinum is an ascomycete that has been isolated from a broad range of plant hosts, including hop (Humulus lupulus L.), where it acts as a causal agent of Fusarium canker, a disease that can impact cone quality and yield in severe cases. Current diagnostic methods rely on isolation of the fungus from plant tissue, a time- and resource-intensive process with limited sensitivity, complicated by the potential presence of other Fusarium spp. that have been reported on hop. Our objective was to develop a rapid and sensitive diagnostic tool to detect and quantify F. sambucinum in plant tissues. Using a modified random amplified polymorphic DNA PCR assay, we identified a F. sambucinum-specific marker that serves as the target in a TaqMan (hydrolysis) probe quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay that can be used to detect F. sambucinum DNA in a background of plant DNA. When used to screen 52 isolates of F. sambucinum and isolates representing 13 other Fusarium spp., the assay was robust in detecting F. sambucinum while discriminating between F. sambucinum and closely related Fusarium spp., including F. venenatum. Furthermore, this assay reliably detects as little as 1 pg of F. sambucinum DNA in a background of total DNA from plant tissue. Within-sample comparisons of this qPCR assay with traditional cultural isolation methods demonstrated the greater sensitivity of the qPCR-based method for detection of F. sambucinum. When used to screen 220 asymptomatic stem samples, the qPCR assay detected F. sambucinum in 100 samples (45.5%); by comparison, F. sambucinum was detected in only 3 samples (1.4%) by culturing methods. Moreover, quantification of F. sambucinum DNA was possible for 60 of these samples, indicating the utility of the qPCR assay for early detection. This assay should be useful in diagnostic and epidemiological applications to detect and quantify F. sambucinum from multiple hosts and environmental samples.

RESUMO

Black leg (caused by Plenodomus lingam and P. biglobosus) and chlorotic leaf spot (caused by Pyrenopeziza brassicae) are economically important fungal diseases of Brassicaceae crops. Surveys of seed fields and weed hosts were conducted to understand the distribution and prevalence of these diseases in Oregon after black leg and chlorotic leaf spot outbreaks occurred in Brassicaceae crops in 2014. Postharvest black leg ratings were conducted in seed fields of canola, forage rape, and turnip in 2015 and 2016. The incidence of black leg was greater for turnip (51%) than for canola (29%) and forage rape (25%). The overall average disease incidence was greater for seed crops harvested in 2015 (46%) than for crops harvested in 2016 (28%). A disease survey of wild Brassicaceae plants was conducted along Interstate 5 in Oregon. Brassicaceae weed population sites were identified and 40 sites were sampled for these diseases. Black leg and chlorotic leaf spot were present in 60 and 45%, respectively, of the sampled sites. Both species of Plenodomus were detected in weed populations, with P. lingam being the predominant species recovered (95%). The northernmost sample site with black leg was <32 km from the Oregon-Washington border, and the southernmost site with black leg was within 32 km of the Oregon-California border. Chlorotic leaf spot was detected <32 km from the Oregon-Washington border, whereas the southernmost site where it was detected was approximately 164 km from the Oregon-California border. Based on this study, infected crop residues and weed hosts may facilitate the persistence and spread of these pathogens.

RESUMO

Oregon is the second largest producer of hemp in the United States with 25,900 ha of hemp licensed to growers in 2019, a nearly six-fold increase over the previous year (Perkowski 2019, Capital Press). Industrial hemp has a wide range of uses including textiles to nutritional supplements; in Oregon, hemp has become one of the most economically promising crops and is mainly cultivated for cannabidiol (CBD) production. Between 2018 and 2019, multiple independent greenhouse growers in western Oregon reported powdery mildew-like signs and symptoms on leaves and buds of several Cannabis sativa cultivars, including 'Cherry Wine'. Signs of the disease started as small, white, powdery patches, typically on the adaxial sides of leaves, and progressed to coalescent colonies on leaves, stems, and buds. Fungi present on diseased tissues had unbranched hyaline conidiophores that measured 140 to 250 µm and grew erect from caulicolous and amphigenous mycelium (n = 15). Foot cells were cylindrical, often tapered at one or both ends, and measured 80 to 117 × 9.5 to 11.9 µm (n = 15). Conidia were catenescent, hyaline, ellipsoidal to barrel-shaped, lacked fibrosin bodies, and measured 24 to 34 × 12 to 18 µm (n = 50). No chasmothecia were observed. Morphological observations overlapped with several Golovinomyces spp. Including G. ambrosiae, G. cichoracearum, and G. spadiceus (Braun and Cook 2012). Identification was confirmed by bidirectional sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of 1,457 nucleotides from the concatenated internal transcribed spacer (ITS), 28S large ribosomal subunit, and beta-tubulin (TUB2) regions of two isolates using primer pairs ITS1/ITS4 and NL1/LR5, and TubF1/TubR1 respectively (Mori et al. 2000, Qiu et al. 2020, Vilgalys and Hester 1990, White et al. 1990; GenBank Acc. No.: MW248121 to MW248124, MW265971 to MW265972). The Oregon hemp isolates grouped (bootstrap value = 100) in a monophyletic clade with G. ambrosiae accessions from Qiu et al. (2020). Pathogenicity was confirmed by transferring conidia by leaf rub inoculation onto 2-to 4-week-old 'Cherry Wine' potted plants and incubated outdoors at 12 to 22°C. Control plants were mock-inoculated using healthy leaves. Powdery mildew symptoms developed on inoculated plants approximately 14 to 21 days later; control plants were asymptomatic. Identification was confirmed by morphological characterization and sequencing using the aforementioned primers. The hemp isolates were also able to infect detached leaves of Humulus lupulus 'Symphony' via similar inoculations; however, colony development on 'Symphony' was slow and sporulation sparse as was reported by Weldon et al. (2020). Golovinomyces spp. have also been reported on hemp in Kentucky (Szarka et al. 2019), Ohio (Farinas and Peduto Hand 2020), and New York (Weldon et al. 2020). Although reported as G. spadiceus, these reports are also likely G. ambrosiae according to new taxonomic revision of the genus (Qiu et al. 2020). This is the first known report of Golovinomyces ambrosiae causing powdery mildew on hemp in Oregon (OSC 171893). While powdery mildew on hemp currently appears most severe in protected cultivation, rapid expansion of hemp cultivation and introduction of new CBD varieties throughout Oregon could lead to increased powdery mildew risk in outdoor cultivation.

RESUMO

Light leaf spot, caused by the ascomycete Pyrenopeziza brassicae, is an established disease of Brassicaceae in the United Kingdom (UK), continental Europe, and Oceania (OC, including New Zealand and Australia). The disease was reported in North America (NA) for the first time in 2014 on Brassica spp. in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon, followed by detection in Brassica juncea cover crops and on Brassica rapa weeds in northwestern Washington in 2016. Preliminary DNA sequence data and field observations suggest that isolates of the pathogen present in NA might be distinct from those in the UK, continental Europe, and OC. Comparisons of isolates from these regions using genetic (multilocus sequence analysis, MAT gene sequences, and rep-PCR DNA fingerprinting), pathogenic (B. rapa inoculation studies), biological (sexual compatibility), and morphological (colony and conidial morphology) analyses demonstrated two genetically distinct evolutionary lineages. Lineage 1 comprised isolates from the UK, continental Europe, and OC, and included the P. brassicae type specimen. Lineage 2 contained the NA isolates associated with recent disease outbreaks in the Pacific Northwest region of the USA. Symptoms caused by isolates of the two lineages on B. rapa and B. juncea differed, and therefore "chlorotic leaf spot" is proposed for the disease caused by Lineage 2 isolates of P. brassicae. Isolates of the two lineages differed in genetic diversity as well as sensitivity to the fungicides carbendazim and prothioconazole.

RESUMO

The hop powdery mildew fungus Podosphaera macularis persists from season to season in the Pacific Northwestern United States through infection of crown buds because only one of the mating types needed to produce the ascigerous stage is presently found in this region. Bud infection and successful overwintering of the fungus leads to the emergence of heavily infected shoots in early spring (termed flag shoots). Historical data of flag shoot occurrence and incidence in Oregon and Washington State during 2000 to 2017 were analyzed to identify their association with the incidence of powdery mildew, growers' use of fungicides, autumn and winter temperature, and other production factors. During this period, flag shoots were found on 0.05% of plants evaluated in Oregon and 0.57% in Washington. In Oregon, the incidence of powdery mildew on leaves was most severe and the number of fungicide applications made by growers greatest in yards where flag shoots were found in spring. Similarly, the incidence of plants with powdery mildew in Washington was significantly associated with the number of flag shoots present in early spring, although the number of fungicide applications made was independent of flag shoot occurrence. The occurrence of flag shoots was associated with prior occurrence of flag shoots in a yard, the incidence of foliar powdery mildew in the previous year, grower pruning method, and, in Washington, winter temperature. A census of hop yards in the eastern extent of the Oregon production region during 2014 to 2017 found flag shoots in 27 of 489 yards evaluated. In yards without flag shoots, 338 yards (73.2%) were chemically pruning or not pruned, whereas the remaining 124 (26.8%) were mechanically pruned. Of the 27 yards with flag shoots, 22 were either chemically pruned or not pruned and 4 were mechanically pruned in mid-April, well after the initial emergence of flag shoots. The prevalence of yards with flag shoots also was related to thoroughness of pruning in spring (8.1% of yards with incomplete pruning versus 1.9% of yards with thorough pruning). A Bayesian logistic regression model was fit to the data from the intensively assessed yards in Oregon, with binary risk factors for occurrence of a flag shoot in the previous year, occurrence of foliar mildew in the previous year, and thoroughness of pruning in spring. The model indicated that the median and 95% highest posterior density interval of the probability of flag shoot occurrence was 0.0008 (0.0000 to 0.0053) when a yard had no risk factors but risk increased to 0.0065 (0.0000 to 0.0283) to 0.43 (0.175 to 0.709) when one to all three of the risk factors were present. The entirety of this research indicates that P. macularis appears to persist in a subset of chronically affected hop yards, particularly yards where spring pruning is conducted poorly. Targeted management of the disease in a subset of fields most at risk for producing flag shoots could potentially influence powdery mildew development regionwide.

RESUMO

Host resistance, both quantitative and qualitative, is the preferred long-term approach for disease management in many pathosystems, including powdery mildew of hop (Podosphaera macularis). In 2012, an epidemic of powdery mildew occurred in Washington and Idaho on previously resistant cultivars whose resistance was putatively based on the gene designated R6. In 2013, isolates capable of causing severe disease on cultivars with R6-based resistance were confirmed in Oregon and became widespread during 2014. Surveys of commercial hop yards during 2012 to 2014 documented that powdery mildew is now widespread on cultivars possessing R6 resistance in Washington and Oregon, and the incidence of disease is progressively increasing. Pathogenic fitness, race, and mating type of R6-virulent isolates were compared with isolates of P. macularis lacking R6 virulence. All isolates were positive for the mating type idiomorph MAT1-1 and were able to overcome resistance genes Rb, R3, and R5 but not R1 or R2. In addition, R6-virulent isolates were shown to infect differential cultivars reported to possess the R6 gene and also the R4 gene, although R4 has not yet been broadly deployed in the United States. R6-virulent isolates were not detected from the eastern United States during 2012 to 2015. In growth chamber studies, R6-virulent isolates of P. macularis had a significantly longer latent period and produced fewer lesions on plants with R6 as compared with plants lacking R6, indicating a fitness cost to the fungus. R6-virulent isolates also produced fewer conidia when compared with isolates lacking R6 virulence, independent of whether the isolates were grown on a plant with or without R6. Thus, it is possible that the fitness cost of R6 virulence occurs regardless of host genotype. In field studies, powdery mildew was suppressed by at least 50% on plants possessing R6 as compared with those without R6 when coinoculated with R6-virulent and avirulent isolates. R6 virulence in P. macularis appears to be race specific and, at this time, imposes a measurable fitness penalty on the fungus. Resistance genes R1 and R2 appear to remain effective against R6-virulent isolates of P. macularis in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

RESUMO

The most economically important plant pathogens in the genus Pseudoperonospora (family Peronosporaceae) are Pseudoperonospora cubensis and P. humuli, causal agents of downy mildew on cucurbits and hop, respectively. Recently, P. humuli was reduced to a taxonomic synonym of P. cubensis based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence data and morphological characteristics. Nomenclature has many practical implications for pathogen identification and regulatory considerations; therefore, further clarification of the genetic and pathogenic relatedness of these organisms is needed. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted considering two nuclear and three mitochondrial loci for 21 isolates of P. cubensis and 14 isolates of P. humuli, and all published ITS sequences of the pathogens in GenBank. There was a consistent separation of the majority of the P. humuli isolates and the P. cubensis isolates in nuclear, mitochondrial, and ITS phylogenetic analyses, with the exception of isolates of P. humuli from Humulus japonicus from Korea. The P. cubensis isolates appeared to contain the P. humuli cluster, which may indicate that P. humuli descended from P. cubensis. Host-specificity experiments were conducted with two reportedly universally susceptible hosts of P. cubensis and two hop cultivars highly susceptible to P. humuli. P. cubensis consistently infected the hop cultivars at very low rates, and sporangiophores invariably emerged from necrotic or chlorotic hypersensitive-like lesions. Only a single sporangiophore of P. humuli was observed on a cucurbit plant during the course of the studies. Together, molecular data and host specificity indicate that there are biologically relevant characteristics that differentiate P. cubensis and P. humuli that may be obfuscated if P. humuli were reduced to a taxonomic synonym of P. cubensis. Thus, we recommend retaining the two species names P. cubensis and P. humuli until the species boundaries can be resolved unambiguously.

RESUMO

Downy mildew of hop (Humulus lupulus), caused by Pseudoperonospora humuli, is managed in the Pacific Northwestern United States by regular application of fungicides. A degree-day model that forecasts the first emergence of shoots systemically infected with P. humuli (termed basal spikes) and a risk index for secondary spread of the disease were evaluated over four seasons in western Oregon. In surveys conducted in 34 hop yards, the predicted first spike emergence occurred on average 11.6 days (median 12 days) after spike emergence using a simple average degree-day model (base temperature 6.5°C) developed for Washington State. Predictions based on a single sine model (base temperature 6°C) provided on average 4.9 days (median -0.5 days) of advanced warning before the first spike emerged. Downy mildew severity in a previous season was negatively correlated with the degree-day emergence date of spikes the following year (r = -0.39). In experimental plots, disease severity was significantly greater where fungicide applications were timed using a risk index compared to routine fungicide applications in 2005 and 2007, but statistically similar between these treatments in 2006 and 2008. However, in 2006, 2007, and 2008, treatments initiated using a degree-day threshold resulted in an area under the disease progress curve similar to or smaller than in treatments with routine fungicide applications. Model-aided treatments required four fewer fungicide applications compared to routine fungicide applications. These studies indicate that downy mildew can be managed effectively with fewer fungicide applications than currently made by hop growers in this region if fungicide applications are timed to coincide with the predicted emergence of basal spikes and subsequent disease risk forecasts.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Downy mildew, caused by Pseudoperonospora humuli, is one of the most destructive diseases of hop. Weather factors associated with infection risk by P. humuli in the maritime region of western Oregon were examined for 24- and 48-h periods and quadratic discriminant function models were developed to classify periods as favorable for disease development on leaves. For the 24-h data sets, the model with superior predictive ability included variables for hours of relative humidity>80%, degree-hours of wetness, and mean night temperature. The same variables were selected for the 48-h data sets, with the addition of a product variable for mean night temperature and hours of relative humidity>80%. Cut-points (pT) on receiver operating characteristic curves that minimized the overall error rate were identified by selecting the cut-point with the highest value of Youden's index. For the 24- and 48-h models these were pT=0.49 and 0.39, respectively. With these thresholds, the sensitivity and specificity of the models in cross validation by jackknife exclusion were 83.3 and 88.8% for the 24-h model and 87.5 and 84.4% for the 48-h model, respectively. Cut-points that minimized the average costs associated with disease control and crop loss due to classification errors were determined using estimates of economic damage during vegetative development and on cones near harvest. Use of the 24- and 48-h models was estimated to reduce average management costs during vegetative development when disease prevalence was <0.31 and 0.16, respectively. Using economic assumptions near harvest, management decisions informed by the models reduced average costs when disease prevalence was <0.21 and 0.1 for the 24- and 48-h models, respectively. The value of the models in management decisions was greatest when disease prevalence was relatively low during vegetative development, which generally corresponds to the normally drier period from late spring to midsummer in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.

RESUMO

Anguina sp. is a nematode that infests the inflorescence of orchardgrass and forms galls that replace the seed. Anguina sp. is also a vector of the bacterial pathogen Rathayibacter rathayi, which causes galls or gummosis in orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata) panicles. The percentage of orchardgrass panicles infected or percentage of seed loss from Anguina sp. or R. rathayi in five commercial orchardgrass seed-production fields in Oregon during 2003 and 2004 was determined. The percentage of panicles with Anguina sp. ranged from 9 to 24%, although the percentage of seed replaced by Anguina sp. was less than 0.2%. The number of galls per panicle ranged from 1 to 29. However, more than 50% of Anguina-infested panicles contained only a single Anguina gall and few panicles had eight or more galls. The percentage of panicles with R. rathayi ranged from 3 to 27%. Percentage of seed loss from R. rathayi ranged from 0.1 to 7.3%. Seed loss in orchardgrass seed-production fields assessed for both Anguina sp. and R. rathayi was found to be as great as 8%. The number of Anguinagalls remaining in fields following harvest ranged from 0 to 40 per square meter.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT The effect of variable temperature on the infection severity of Podosphaera macularis was investigated. Potted 'Symphony' hop plants were inoculated and exposed to different temperature regimes that included supraconducive temperatures (30 to 42 degrees C) for varying periods of time (2 to 9 h). Infection severity (lesions per cm(2) of leaf area) was calculated 7 to 10 days after inoculation. Immediately exposing inoculated plants to 30 degrees C for as little as 2 h significantly (P
