• W4308766779 abstract "Dragon fruit cultivation is an emerging industry in Ecuador. In August of 2020, yellow dragon fruit plants (Hylocereus megalantus) showing brown hardened scabs on cladodes and fruits were observed in a field in Guayas, a coastal province of Ecuador (Fig. 1A). Symptoms were observed in ~ 40% of the assessed plants (n=100) with damage varying from mild (necrotic spots) to severe (canker). Ten cladode sections of ~ 10 cm2 with signs of canker were collected from five affected plants (two from each plant). Symptomatic cladode sections were sliced, surface-sterilized with a solution of 1% sodium hypochlorite, rinsed with sterile water, transferred into potato dextrose agar (PDA) media, and incubated at 28°C for five days in the dark. Three fungal isolates recovered from the cladodes produced colonies with dense dark aerial mycelia that matched the morphological description for Neoscytalidium dimidiatum (Crous et al 2006) (Fig 1B, 1C). Arthric chains of cylindrical conidia were observed under the microscope and presented zero or one septum with sizes between 10.9 ± 0.27 x 4.97 ± 0.36 µm (n=50). Pycnidia produced ellipsoid-shaped conidia, and sizes ranged from 4.5 ± 0.3 x 11.02 ± 0.5 µm (n=50). Cultured isolates were subjected to DNA extractions using the fungal DNA mini kit (Omega, Bio-Tek, Inc) for molecular identification by amplifying the 5.8S rDNA and adjacent internal transcriber spacer (ITS) 1 and 2 regions using primers (ITS1 / ITS4) as described (White et al., 1990). In addition, the β-tubulin and elongation factor 1-α targets were amplified by primers Bt2a / Bt2b (Glass and Donaldson, 1995) and EF1-728 F / EF1-986R (Carbone and Kohn, 1999), respectively, following the recommended PCR conditions. Amplified products were cloned using a pGEMT-easy kit (Promega, USA) and sequenced. Sequence comparisons for each target revealed that the three isolates were 100% identical to each other. Sequences obtained from a single plant were submitted to NCBI Genbank and assigned acc. Numbers OP377444, OP381216, and OP381217, for the ITS, β-tubulin, and elongation factor, respectively. BLAST analyses of the three amplified targets confirmed homology to counterparts from N. dimitiatum, with 99-100 % identities to isolates from China (JX524168), United Arab Emirates (MN447201), and Israel (KF020895). To fulfill Koch´s postulates, thirteen 4-month-old healthy plants were inoculated either with the pathogen (n=10) or mock-inoculated (n=3). In addition, two detached yellow dragon fruits and a mock were inoculated following the same protocol as stems. Inoculation was performed by making small wounds on cladodes or fruits using a sterile needle and placing a 2-mm agar plug containing mycelia from a 7-day-old colony. For mock inoculations, 2-mm plugs with clean PDA media were used. The inoculated area was wrapped with black plastic film for seven days at 27 to 32°C. At ten days post-inoculation, brown scab lesions with an orange halo were observed in the inoculated plants but not in the mock-inoculated plants and fruit (Fig. 1D, 1E). N. dimidiatum was re-isolated from experimentally-induced canker lesions, and morphologically identified. Stem canker caused by N. dimidiatum is a severe disease affecting dragon fruit production worldwide (Chuang et al., 2021). In Ecuador, this pathogen was found affecting yellow dragon fruit (H. megalantus) under natural conditions; however, under experimental conditions, red dragon fruit (H. undatus), which is widely produced in several coastal provinces of the country, was also found to be susceptible. Further studies are needed to investigate epidemiological aspects of this important pathogen, which threatens dragon fruit production in Ecuador." @default.
