that favors the pathogen. 6 Diseases in Cereals Disease resistance • Most plants are resistant to most pathogens • Disease is an exception! • What causes this exception is the pathogen’s ability to overcome resistance mechanisms in the plant • Two types of resistance: –Race specific –Race non-specific 7 Diseases in Cereals Race specific resistance • Based on single genes • Gene-for-gene relationship • Often complete protection • Popular among plant breeders –Easy to select for –Simple genetics –Appealing phenotype 8 Diseases in Cereals Race specific resistance • However,… –Based on the plant’s ability to detect a single effector molecule from the pathogen –A single mutation in the pathogen can render the plants completely susceptible • Result: –Short durability 9 Diseases in Cereals Airborne pathogens with high evolutionary potential • Powdery mildew, Blumeria graminis • Stem rust, Puccinia graminis • Leaf rust (brown rust), P. triticina • Stripe rust (yellow rust), P.

More than 250 species of the fungus have been reported in different host plants all over the world that cause heavy economic losses. It was a challenge to discover weak links in the disease cycle to manage Sclerotinia diseases of large number of crops. For researchers and stu- dents, it has been a matter of concern, how to access voluminous literature on Sclerotinia scattered in different journals, reviews, proceedings of symposia, workshops, books, abstracts etc. to get a comprehensive picture.

Wu3, Y. Hao1, Y. Su1, L. Cai1, M. Xiang1, X. Liu1 Key words Abstract During a survey of cold-adapted fungi in alpine glaciers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, 1 428 fungal isolates were obtained of which 150 species were preliminary identified. Phoma sclerotioides and Pseudogymnoascus pan- glaciers norum were the most dominant species. Psychrotolerant species in Helotiales (Leotiomycetes, Ascomycota) were Phoma sclerotioides studied in more detail as they represented the most commonly encountered group during this investigation. Two Pseudogymnoascus pannorum phylogenetic trees were constructed based on the partial large subunit nrDNA (LSU) to infer the taxonomic place- Psychrophila ments of these strains. Our strains nested in two well-supported major clades, which represented Tetracladium and psychrotolerant a previously unknown lineage. The unknown lineage is distant to any other currently known genera in Helotiales. Tetracladium Psychrophila gen. nov. was therefore established to accommodate these strains which are characterised by globose or subglobose conidia formed from phialides on short or reduced conidiophores. Our analysis also showed that an LSU-based phylogeny is insufficient in differentiating strains at species level. Additional analyses using combined sequences of ITS+TEF1+TUB regions were employed to further investigate the phylogenetic relationships of these strains. Together with the recognisable morphological distinctions, six new species (i.e. P. antarctica, P. lutea, P. oli- vacea, T. ellipsoideum, T. globosum and T. psychrophilum) were described. Our preliminary investigation indicates a high diversity of cold-adapted species in nature, and many of them may represent unknown species.

  • Minireview Snow Molds: a Group of Fungi That Prevail Under Snow
    Microbes Environ. Vol. 24, No. 1, 14–20, 2009 http://wwwsoc.nii.ac.jp/jsme2/ doi:10.1264/jsme2.ME09101 Minireview Snow Molds: A Group of Fungi that Prevail under Snow NAOYUKI MATSUMOTO1* 1Department of Planning and Administration, National Agricultural Research Center for Hokkaido Region, 1 Hitsujigaoka, Toyohira-ku, Sapporo 062–8555, Japan (Received January 5, 2009—Accepted January 30, 2009—Published online February 17, 2009) Snow molds are a group of fungi that attack dormant plants under snow. In this paper, their survival strategies are illustrated with regard to adaptation to the unique environment under snow. Snow molds consist of diverse taxonomic groups and are divided into obligate and facultative fungi. Obligate snow molds exclusively prevail during winter with or without snow, whereas facultative snow molds can thrive even in the growing season of plants. Snow molds grow at low temperatures in habitats where antagonists are practically absent, and host plants deteriorate due to inhibited photosynthesis under snow. These features characterize snow molds as opportunistic parasites. The environment under snow represents a habitat where resources available are limited. There are two contrasting strategies for resource utilization, i.e., individualisms and collectivism. Freeze tolerance is also critical for them to survive freezing temper- atures, and several mechanisms are illustrated. Finally, strategies to cope with annual fluctuations in snow cover are discussed in terms of predictability of the habitat. Key words: snow mold, snow cover, low temperature, Typhula spp., Sclerotinia borealis Introduction Typical snow molds have a distinct life cycle, i.e., an active phase under snow and a dormant phase from spring to In northern regions with prolonged snow cover, plants fall.

Tronsmo & I. Yumoto Hoshino, T., Tronsmo, A.M. & Yumoto, I. 2008. Snow mold fungus, Typhula ishikariensis group III, in Arctic Norway can grow at a sub-lethal temperature after freezing stress and during flooding. – Sommerfeltia 31: 125-131. ISBN 82-7420-045-4. ISSN 0800-6865. Isolates of the snow mold fungus Typhula ishikariensis group III, which is predominant in Finnmark (northern Norway) and Svalbard, are more resistant to freezing stress than group I isolates from the southern part of Norway. Group III isolates showed irregular growth on potato dextrose agar (PDA) plates when subjected to heat stress at 10˚C. However, group III isolates showed relatively good growth on PDA at 10˚C after freezing treatment. The optimal temperatures for mycelial growth were 5˚C on PDA and 10˚C in potato dextrose broth (PDB), and group III isolates showed normal mycelial growth at 10˚C in PDB. Mycelium of group III isolates cultivated in water poured into PDA plates, and normal hyphal extension was observed only in the liquid media. Hyphal growth became irregular when mycelia had extended above the surface of the liquid media. These results suggested that group III isolates can grow at a sub-lethal temperature after freezing stress and during flooding. Soil freezing and thawing occurs regularly in the Arctic, and physiological characteristics of group III isolates are well adapted to climatic conditions in the Arctic.

  • The Barley Scald Pathogen Rhynchosporium Secalis Is Closely Related to the Discomycetes Tapesia and Pyrenopeziza
    Mycol. Res. 106 (6): 645–654 (June 2002). # The British Mycological Society 645 DOI: 10.1017\S0953756202006007 Printed in the United Kingdom. The barley scald pathogen Rhynchosporium secalis is closely related to the discomycetes Tapesia and Pyrenopeziza Stephen B. GOODWIN Crop Production and Pest Control Research Unit, USDA Agricultural Research Service, Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, 1155 Lilly Hall, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907-1155, USA. E-mail: sgoodwin!purdue.edu Received 3 July 2001; accepted 12 April 2002. Rhynchosporium secalis causes an economically important foliar disease of barley, rye, and other grasses known as leaf blotch or scald. This species has been difficult to classify due to a paucity of morphological features; the genus Rhynchosporium produces conidia from vegetative hyphae directly, without conidiophores or other structures. Furthermore, no teleomorph has been associated with R. secalis, so essentially nothing is known about its phylogenetic relationships. To identify other fungi that might be related to R. secalis, the 18S ribosomal RNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region (ITS1, 5n8S rRNA gene, and ITS2) were sequenced and compared to those in databases. Among 31 18S sequences downloaded from GenBank, the closest relatives to R. secalis were two species of Graphium (hyphomycetes) and two other accessions that were not identified to genus or species. Therefore, 18S sequences were not useful for elucidating the phylogenetic relationships of R. secalis. However, analyses of 76 ITS sequences revealed very close relationships among R. secalis and species of the discomycete genera Tapesia and Pyrenopeziza, as well as several anamorphic fungi including soybean and Adzuki-bean isolates of Phialophora gregata.

ABSTRACT: Isolates of snow mold fungus, Typhula ishikariensis, from Akureyri in Northern Iceland were divided into two groups according to culture morphology and results of mating reactions with testers of T. ishikariensis biological species I and II from Japan and Norway. Isolates in both groups showed a similar mycelial growth pattern of thermal dependence. This is first report of the genetic characteristics of T. ishikariensis from Iceland. INTRODUCTION Snow mold fungi are psychrophilic or psychrotrophic fungal pathogens of perennial grasses and winter cereals in the Northern Hemisphere (HSIANG et al. 1999). Microdochium nivale (Fries) Samuel's & Hallett, Sclerotinia borealis Bub. & Vleug., Typhula incarnata Lasch ex. Fr. and T. ishikariensis Imai are typical snow mold fungi found in Nordic countries, including Denmark (where M. nivale and T. incarnata have been found: WELLING & JENSEN 1970), the Faroe Islands (where M. nivale and T. incarnata have been found: HOSHINO et al. 2004), Finland (JAMALAINEN 1949, 1957), Greenland (where S.
