serious bacterial wilt on ginger (Zingiber ofcinale). When ginger leaves were clip-inoculated with race 4 strains, yellowing
and V-shaped lesions developed on leaves, but no lesions formed after inoculation with race 1 strain or on mock-inoculated
leaves. Tests of diferent bacterial concentrations as inoculum showed that the optimal concentration was greater than or
equal to 106 cfu/ml. This simple, high-throughput leaf clipping inoculation method provides an efcient, easy method to
evaluate pathogenicity of R. pseudosolanacearum race 4 on ginger.

Morphological traits that affect photosynthetic water use efficiency are not well known. We examined whether leaf hairiness improves photosynthetic water use efficiency in rice. Results: A chromosome segment introgression line (IL-hairy) of wild Oryza nivara (Acc. IRGC105715) with the genetic background of Oryza sativa cultivar ‘IR24’ had high leaf pubescence (hair). The leaf hairs developed along small vascular bundles. Linkage analysis in BC5F2 and F3 populations showed that the trait was governed by a single gene, designated BLANKET LEAF (BKL), on chromosome 6. IL-hairy plants had a warmer leaf surface in sunlight, probably due to increased boundary layer resistance. They had a lower transpiration rate under moderate and high light intensities, resulting in higher photosynthetic water use efficiency. Conclusion: Introgression of BKL on chromosome 6 from O. nivara improved photosynthetic water use efficiency in the genetic background of IR24..

Htet Wai Wai Kyaw, Kenichi Tsuchiya, Matsumoto Masaru, Kazuhiro Iiyama, Seint San Aye, Myo Zaw, Daisuke Kurose, Mitsuo Horita, Naruto Furuya, Genetic diversity of Ralstonia solanacearum strains causing bacterial wilt of solanaceous crops in Myanmar, Journal of General Plant Pathology, 10.1007/s10327-017-0720-0, 83, 4, 216-225, 2017.07, In 2013 and 2014, an extensive survey of bacterial wilt in Myanmar was performed, and 70 strains of Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs) were collected from wilting plants of tomato, potato, chili and eggplant. Myanmar Rs strains were characterized by traditional and molecular methods. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test using Rs-specific primer set amplified one specific band (281-bp) from template DNA of all strains. Pathogenicity tests on the four solanaceous plants differentiated the strains into six pathogenic groups. Biovar determination tests showed that biovar 3 strains predominated (63%) among all Rs strains. Biovar 4 strains (7%) were obtained from both tomato and chili strains, whereas biovar 2 (30%) strains were isolated only from potato. Multiplex-PCR analysis indicated that tomato, eggplant and chili strains belonged to phylotype I, whereas potato strains comprised phylotype I and phylotype II. Strains in phylotype I, which was suggested to have originated from Asia, were the most prevalent in all surveyed areas. Phylogenetic analysis based on the endoglucanase (egl) gene sequences revealed that Myanmar strains partitioned into two major clusters that corresponded to phylotype I and II. Strains in phylotype I were further divided into seven subclusters, each corresponding to a distinct sequevar (15, 17, 46, 47, 48, unknown 1 or unknown 2). All strains in phylotype II belonged to sequevar 1. This is the first comprehensive report of the presence of diverse Rs strains in Myanmar..

Shunichiro Takano, Midori Tuda, Keiji Takasu, Naruto Furuya, Yuya Imamura, Sangwan Kim, Kosuke Tashiro, Kazuhiro Iiyama, Matias Tavares, Acacio Cardoso Amaral, Unique clade of alphaproteobacterial endosymbionts induces complete cytoplasmic incompatibility in the coconut beetle, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 10.1073/pnas.1618094114, 114, 23, 6110-6115, 2017.06, Maternally inherited bacterial endosymbionts in arthropods manipulate host reproduction to increase the fitness of infected females. Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is one such manipulation, in which uninfected females produce few or no offspring when they mate with infected males. To date, two bacterial endosymbionts, Wolbachia and Cardinium, have been reported as CI inducers. Only Wolbachia induces complete CI, which causes 100% offspring mortality in incompatible crosses. Here we report a third CI inducer that belongs to a unique clade of Alphaproteobacteria detected within the coconut beetle, Brontispa longissima. This beetle comprises two cryptic species, the Asian clade and the Pacific clade, which show incompatibility in hybrid crosses. Different bacterial endosymbionts, a unique clade of Alphaproteobacteria in the Pacific clade and Wolbachia in the Asian clade, induced bidirectional CI between hosts. The former induced complete CI (100% mortality), whereas the latter induced partial CI (70% mortality). Illumina MiSeq sequencing and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis patterns showed that the predominant bacterium detected in the Pacific clade of B. longissima was this unique clade of Alphaproteobacteria alone, indicating that this endosymbiont was responsible for the complete CI. Sex distortion did not occur in any of the tested crosses. The 1,160 bp of 16S rRNA gene sequence obtained for this endosymbiont had only 89.3% identity with that of Wolbachia, indicating that it can be recognized as a distinct species. We discuss the potential use of this bacterium as a biological control agent..

The bruchine seed beetle Callosobruchus rhodesianus (Pic) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae) is distributed over Central and Southern Africa and is a pest of stored legume seeds, especially cowpeas Vigna unguiculata. Here, we study the type, abundance, morphology and per area density of antennal sensilla on each antennal segment and their sexual differences in C. rhodesianus. The antennae of normal individuals consist of the scape, pedicel and nine flagellomeres as in other congeneric species. Sizes of most antennomeres are larger in males than in females. We observed the following eight different types of antennal sensilla: sensilla trichodea types 1 and 2 (ST1, ST2), sensillacavitae (SCa), sensilla chaetica (SC), sensilla basiconica types 1, 2 and 3 (SB1, SB2, SB3) and Böhm bristles (BB). The SCa is found on all antennomeres unlike in congeners (C. chinensis and C. maculatus). The ST1, the most numerous and longest antennal sensilla type, is denser and thinner in females than in males but more abundant in males than in females. Since the ST1 is considered to serve as a chemoreceptor, the sexual difference in the ST1 may benefit males in searching for mates..

24. Daisuke Kurose, Naruto Furuya, Tetsuya Saeki, Kenichi Tsuchiya, Seiya Tsushima, Marion K. Seier, Species-Specific Detection of Mycosphaerella polygoni-cuspidati as a Biological Control Agent for Fallopia japonica by PCR Assay, Molecular Biotechnology, 10.1007/s12033-016-9962-x, 58, 10, 626-633, 2016.10, The ascomycete fungus Mycosphaerellapolygoni-cuspidati has been undergoing evaluation as a potential classical biological control agent for the invasive weed Fallopia japonica (Japanese knotweed), which has become troublesome in Europe and North America. In advance of the potential release of a biocontrol agent into a new environment, it is crucial to develop an effective monitoring system to enable the evaluation of agent establishment and dispersal within the target host population, as well as any potential attacks on non-target species. Therefore, a primer pair was designed for direct, rapid, and specific detection of the Japanese knotweed pathogen M. polygoni-cuspidati based on the sequences of the internal transcribed spacer regions including the 5.8S rDNA. A PCR product of approximately 298 bp was obtained only when the DNA extracted from mycelial fragments of M. polygoni-cuspidati was used. The lower limit of detection of the PCR method was 100 fg of genomic DNA. Using the specific primer pair, M. polygoni-cuspidati could be detected from both naturally and artificially infected Japanese knotweed plants. No amplification was observed for other Mycosphaerella spp. or fungal endophytes isolated from F. japonica. The designed primer pair is thus effective for the specific detection of M. polygoni-cuspidati in planta..

Kilcrease, Naruto Furuya, Kenichi Tsuchiya, John Hammond, Hyoun Sub Lim, 2015 nationwide survey revealed Barley stripe mosaic virus in Korean barley fields, Journal of the Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, 61, 1, 71-77, 2016.02, A seed-transmitted virus has consistently caused significant economic damage to barley crops in Korea in recent years, and may be increasing because many farmers save seed for replanting. Because some barley seed is imported, there is the potential for introduction of new seed-transmitted viruses, causing diseases which may spread. Barley cultivation in South Korea is expanding nationwide due to the increasing popularity of health foods, so both production and quality of barley grain is important. Although Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) has been reported previously as a small percentage of all barley viruses present in Korea, increases in imports of barley seed may lead to increased occurrence of this seed-transmitted virus. We therefore investigated the virus status of beirley crops around Iksan and Wanju. On several newly cultivated barley farms, we observed areas showing symptoms typical of BSMV, and confirmed BSMV infection in 24% of the samples examined. In order to understand the occurrence and seed transmission of Korean BSMV isolates, we examined sequence variation within the Triple Gene Block proteins, and subcellular localization of two of these proteins. The newly identified Korean BSMV isolates show low sequence variability and high sequence homology to previously reported US isolates. With these results, we expect to confirm distribution of barley viruses and possible emerging viruses, which mu serve as base line data to document virus prevention and control measures..

Using molecular phylogenetic analysis of four loci (rDNA-ITS, EF-1α, GPD, and vmaA-vpsA) combined, we re-examined the taxonomy of 31 Stemphylium strains that had been identified morphologically before or after their deposit in the NIAS Genebank, Japan. In the present study, these Japanese strains were separated into three groups (Groups A, C, and E). Sixteen Japanese strains formed a new subgroup (designated Subgroup C2) that contained no type or ex-type strains of existing species. Four of the strains had been identified correctly, whereas the other 27 strains appear to have been misidentified based on our phylogenetic analysis. We examined the conidial morphology of four representative misidentified strains selected from each clade. While the morphological characteristics of a strain isolated from Welsh onion resembles those of the S. vesicarium type, this strain belongs to Subgroup C2 rather than Subgroup C1 and, therefore, could not be identified at the species level. Conversely, three pathogenic strains isolated from aster, asparagus, and Chinese chive were re-identified based on our combined morphological and phylogenetic data. We propose the scientific names of the aster leaf spot pathogen as S. lycopersici, and the asparagus Stemphylium leaf spot and Chinese chive brown leaf blight pathogens as S. herbarum..

A potential classical biological control agent of the invasive alien weed Fallopia japonica (Polygonaceae) in the UK, Biological Control, 10.1016/j.biocontrol.2015.03.002, 85, 1-11, 2015.06, Fallopia japonica, commonly known as Japanese knotweed, is an increasingly serious invasive alien weed in the UK and large parts of mainland Europe, as well as in North America. There is an urgent need to include classical biological control (CBC) into any integrated pest management strategy. The leaf-spot pathogen Mycosphaerella polygoni-cuspidati, a coevolved natural enemy of F. japonica present throughout its native Japanese range, is considered to have high potential as a CBC agent. In this study, the disease development of M. polygoni-cuspidati in the field and the optimum infection parameters under controlled conditions were investigated to elucidate the pathogen's potential biocontrol efficacy against Japanese knotweed. Field observation in Japan showed that M. polygoni-cuspidati caused severe damage to its host plant. When sentinel knotweed plants from the UK were placed amongst naturally-infected field populations of F. japonica, disease incidence and severity were highest in July when monthly precipitation was also highest. In greenhouse inoculation tests, F. japonica was shown to be most susceptible at the young leaf stage (7-12. days after opening). Disease severity was highest after an initial dew period of 42-48. h, and severe defoliation followed inoculation at a temperature range of 15-25. °C. The optimum post-inoculation temperature after dew treatment for disease severity was 20-25. °C. In field inoculation tests, high disease incidence and severity indicate that the pathogen has the potential to control the plant effectively in the field. Humidity and temperature were shown to be the main factors influencing disease expression and lesion development of M. polygoni-cuspidati in a field situation. These results provide valuable information for any future use of M. polygoni-cuspidati as a CBC agent for management of Japanese knotweed in the UK..

When lettuce seedlings were grown on soils containing a powder made from diseased roots with a known number of resting spores, symptoms developed from ca. 102 spores/g of soil or more. This simple method can be used in soil diagnosis and risk assessment of the disease..

Hoang, Identification of agents causing brown rot of Cymbidium iridioides in Sa Pa, Lao Cai Province, Vietnam, Journal of the Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, 60, 1, 1-6, 2015.02, Cymbidium orchid (Cymbidium iridioides) is widely cultivated in Northern mountainous provinces of Vietnam, especially in Sa Pa, Lao Cai province. However, severe outbreaks of brown rot disease in C. iridioides occurred in July, 2013 due to abnormal weather conditions that resulted in significant loss for growers. In order to identify exactly the causal agent of the disease, the infested samples were collected. Twenty-five bacterial isolates were selected and no fungus was present in the samples. Pectolytic activity of those bacterial isolates was determined on potato tuber slices and the virulence was assessed on cymbidium cut leaves in vitro. As results, three bacterial isolates [M3(1), M3(2) and M4(3)] induced different rot symptoms on potato tuber slices and cymbidium cut leaves. Based on their bacteriological characteristics and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, these bacterial isolates M3(1), M4(3) and M3(2) were identified as Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, P. carotovorum and Pseudomonas sp., respectively. The results suggested that bacterial brown rot disease of C. iridioides in Sa Pa, Lao Cai province, might involve three causal bacterial species..

Mild systemic symptoms were developed on the six plant species inoculated with CMV-m1. Virus titer in the Nicotiana benthamiana plants infected with CMV-m1 was significantly lower than those infected with CMV-Y, although infection by CMV-m1 interfered with further infection by CMV-Y in the plants. Subsequently, the attenuated virulence of CMV-m1 was analyzed by reassortment and recombination analyses between CMV-m1 and CMV-Y RNAs. The results suggested that the 2b protein of CMV-m1 (m1-2b) is involved in the formation of mild symptoms in N. benthamiana. Furthermore, site-directed mutagenesis demonstrated that Thr18 of m1-2b is responsible for formation of mild symptoms. Local RNA silencing suppressor activity of m1-2b was a little lower than that of severe strain CMV-Y. We discuss the relationship between attenuation of CMV-m1 and the features of m1-2b..

Mitsuo Horita, Kenichi Tsuchiya, Yasuhiro Suga, Kazutaka Yano, Takamitsu Waki, Daisuke Kurose, Naruto Furuya, Current classification of Ralstonia solanacearum and genetic diversity of the strains in Japan, Journal of General Plant Pathology, 10.1007/s10327-014-0537-z, 80, 6, 455-465, 2014.11, Ralstonia solanacearum is the causal organism of bacterial wilt of more than 200 species representing 50 families of plants in tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate regions in the world. Traditionally classified into five races based on differences in host range, R. solanacearum has also been grouped into six biovars on the basis of biochemical properties. With recent developments in molecular biology, various DNA-based analyses have been introduced and used to confirm that this binary system does not completely represent the diversity within R. solanacearum strains. Therefore, a new hierarchical classification scheme has been suggested, which defines R. solanacearum as a species complex and reorganized the concept of the species as a monophyletic cluster according to a phylogenetic analysis based on genomic sequence data. Here we discuss the current bacterial wilt situation and genetic relationships based on the recent classification system of Japanese R. solanacearum strains as well as worldwide strains.
