Transcription

1 Ceratocystis fimbriata a new fungal pathogen of kiwifruit in Brazil Joy Tyson, Mike Manning KiwiNet Workshop, Mount Maunganui, New Zealand. 9 December 2015.

2 Background Ceratocystis fimbriata» Fungus first recorded in 1890» Postharvest rot of Ipomoea batatas (kumara, sweet potato)» Broad host range» Rots of storage roots and corms» Wilt and cankers on many woody plants Wikipedia.com

3 Geographic distribution CABI -

4 Identification Ceratocystis fimbriata perithecia

5 Identification A B C D Ceratocystis fimbriata: A) Perithecial beak, B) ascospores, C) conidia, D) chlamydospores

6 First report on kiwifruit

7 Brazil» Visit affected orchards» Meet with Prof. Acelino Alfenas and staff at Viçosa University who are testing Brazilian isolates on kiwifruit cultivars in Brazil» Align methods of testing» Take part in a workshop on Ceratocystis diseases» Meet international experts on Ceratocystis, including Professor Tom Harrington (Iowa State University)

8 Disease symptoms Leaf wilt and curl

9 Disease symptoms Shrivelled canes

10 Disease symptoms Darkened xylem tissues

11 Observations in Brazil» Kiwifruit was one of the most profitable crops in Brazil» Reduces the number of harvestable fruit» Most affected vines eventually die

12 Means of spread Natural spread is limited:» Soilborne fungus» Root grafts» Potentially some movement by wood-boring beetles Human-assisted spread:» Propagative material» Pruning tools» Other equipment

13 Brazils response to the threat» Focus on hygiene» Resistance testing» Strain identification

14 Brazils response to the threat

15 New Zealand situation» Ceratocystis fimbriata has been known in New Zealand since 1907» Never recorded on kiwifruit» Recorded on kumara» Many different strains/clades of Ceratocystis fimbriata are known worldwide» Host specific?» Geographic isolation?

16 Pathogenicity testing - cultivars Actinidia species Cultivar A. deliciosa Hayward A. chinensis G3 A. deliciosa x G14 A. macrosperma Bounty

17 Pathogenicity testing - isolates Accession Number Collection date Location ICMP 894 Dec Auckland, Mt Albert ICMP 1731 Jul Auckland ICMP 2085 Oct Northland, Ruawai ICMP May 1998 Northland ICMP Jul Northland, Ruawai

18 Inoculation» Five cultivars» Five Ceratocystis isolates + water control» Five plants (replicates) for each treatment

19 28 days

20 Assessments

21 Effect of kiwifruit cultivar on lesion length

22 Effect of Ceratocystis isolate on lesion length

23 Brazil pathogenicity tests

24 New Zealand pathogenicity tests

25 Conclusions» New Zealand Ceratocystis fimbriata strain not pathogenic on kiwifruit» Host specific» Geographic isolation

26 Conclusions» No action needs to be taken to mitigate the threat of the New Zealand kumara strain moving into kiwifruit orchards.» The New Zealand kiwifruit industry does need to be vigilant in monitoring for new Ceratocystis fimbriata strains.» Growers should be alert for symptoms similar to those described from Brazil orchards.
