PRA Puccinia Hemerocallidis CSL Pest Risk Analysis for Puccinia hemerocallidis CSL copyright, 2005 Pest Risk Analysis For UK Interceptions of Puccinia hemerocallidis Question Answer 1. Name of fungal pest: Teleomorph: Genus, species, var., f.sp. Puccinia hemerocallidis Synonym(s): Genus, species, var., f.sp. Dicaeoma hemerocallidis, Aecidium patriniae, Puccinia funkiae, Uredo hostae, Puccinia hostae Anamorph: Genus, species, var., f.sp. Synonym(s): Genus, species, var., f.sp. Common name for disease Daylily rust Special notes on taxonomy or Transchel in 1913 (Hiratsuka, 1992) was nomenclature the first to prove the relation between the aecia on leaves of Patrinia rupestris and P. scabiosaefolia to the uredinia and telia on leaves of Hemerocallis minor. Hiratsuka in 1938 was the first to report successful inoculations between the aecial state of this species on Patrinia scabiosaefolia and the uredinial and telial states on leaves of Hemerocallis disticha (Hiratsuka, 1992). Hosta spp. have been reported as uredinal/telial hosts in Japan (Hiratsuka, 1992). However, Hosta has been found to be affected in the USA (Schubert and Leahy, 2001) and is now not thought to be a host in Japan (Yoshitaka, 2003).

Lane, CSL, 2001, pers. comm.) (aii) Has it been intercepted before on this host in the UK ? The pathogen was intercepted in 2001 and 2002 on daylilies imported from the USA. (aiii) Has it been recorded before on this host in the UK? No (C.Lane, CSL, 2001, pers. comm.) 2 (b). Is there any other reason to suspect that the pest is already established in the UK? No, but there has not been a comprehensive survey of nurseries growing daylilies 3. EC Directive Status? (Annex or not listed) Not listed 4. EPPO Status? Present on Alert List 5. What are its host plants? 5. (a). Highlight crop plants grown commercially, including those of environmental or amenity value, in the UK (and EU/EPPO) (include figures for potential yield/quality losses): Puccinia hemerocallidis is a heteroecious rust. Species in the genera Hemerocallis, a common amenity plant in Europe, are uredial/telial hosts. Hosta (Liliaceae) has also been described as an uredial/telial host in Asia (Hiratsuka, 1992). However, this has not been proven (Yoshitaka, 2003) and the rust has never been seen on Hosta in the USA (Schubert and Leahy, 2001). Species in the genus Patrinia (Valerianaceae) are spermagonial/aecial hosts. Uredospores released from Hemerocallis can perpetuate the rust on this host. Germinating teliospores on Hemerocallis produce basidiospores capable of initiating infection on Patrinia spp.. Aeciospores from infected Patrinia spp. are capable of initiating infections on Hemerocallis. 5. (b). Are any of the host plants of forestry importance? No 2 CSL Pest Risk Analysis for Puccinia hemerocallidis CSL copyright, 2005 6. What is its present geographical distribution? Asia: China; Japan; Korea; Russia - Sakhalin, Kuriles, Siberia; Taiwan (Hernández et al., 2002; Hiratsuka, 1992; Schubert and Leahy, 2001). Australia/Pacific: Australia - Queensland (EPPO, 2002). North America : Canada (Anon., 2002); USA - Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Minnesota, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas (Schubert and Leahy, 2001) plus Arkansas, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, Wisconsin (Anon., 2002) plus Hawaii (Hernández et al., 2002). Central America: There is indirect evidence that the rust may be present in Costa Rica as daylilies imported from Costa Rica have been diagnosed with the rust on arrival in Miami (Hernández et al., 2002; Schubert and Leahy, 2001). Present in EU (specify countries): Not reported Present in EPPO region (specify countries): Not reported 7. Does it appear capable of establishing in the UK/EU/EPPO? (a) outdoors? Daylilies are commonly grown garden plants and are hardy perennials. The rust is capable of surviving on daylily alone; no other host species is required for it to perennate. Daylily is a common amenity plant in Europe. Daylily rust has been recorded in climates as diverse as those in Siberia and Florida and would be expected to be capable of establishment in the UK and the EU/EPPO region where Hemerocallis spp. are grown. Experimental work in the USA has shown that uredospores can germinate on potato dextrose agar between 10°C and 30°C. Germination was not observed at 4°C and 34°C and it is thought that summer temperatures in the south of the USA may not favour infection (-Buck and Williams- Woodward, 2001; Mueller et al., 2002). High temperatures in southern Europe during summer may also inhibit infection. (b) on protected crops? Daylily rust has been found on plants growing in nurseries in the USA. The second detection in the UK in 2002 was on imported plants growing in a polytunnel. Some plants may have been under glass or shadecloth, but there is no information to confirm this possibility 3 CSL Pest Risk Analysis for Puccinia hemerocallidis CSL copyright, 2005 8. What is its potential likely to be as a pest in the UK/EU/EPPO? In the UK and many other European countries, daylilies are an important component of herbaceous amenity plantings in public and private gardens. Puccinia hemerocallidis has the potential to become a common pathogen of daylily in the UK/EU/EPPO. Little is known of the requirements of the pathogen, but it seems capable of infection under a wide range of environmental conditions. Affected plants are not killed, but infection, which causes an unsightly blemish on leaves, diminishes their amenity value and makes the plants unmarketable. Repeated infections result in a decline in the health of plants (Williams-Woodward and Buck, 2001). However, some daylily cultivars are reported to be resistant and the use of this material could limit disease damage (Mueller et al., 2003). There is no information on the effect of the rust on other hosts, but in the USA Patrinia spp are not common as ornamentals and Hosta spp., which have been implicated as uredial/telial hosts (Hiratsuka, 1992), are unaffected (Schubert and Leahy, 2001). 9. What are the prospects for continued exclusion? In Florida, new infections have been reported to arise in as little as 2-3 days after infection on susceptible varieties of daylily (Schubert and Leahy, 2001). However, in some plants, it has taken as long as 2-3 months before symptoms were seen (T. Schubert, USA, 2001, pers. comm.). Symptoms on the infected daylily first intercepted with rust did not become evident until approximately 2½ months after the plant arrived in the UK. Some daylily varieties have been reported to be largely unaffected by the rust (Schubert and Leahy, 2001). Florida was the first state in the USA to have recorded the rust problem. Spread to other parts of the USA may have occurred because either (1) plant health inspectors failed to detect light infections, or (2) incubating infections were missed because of the absence of symptoms, or (3) inoculum on plants initiated infections after shipment. Because of the above, it may be difficult for overseas plant health inspectors to certify daylily material exported to the UK/EU/EPPO to be free of the pathogen. The plant intercepted with rust in 2001 was covered by a phytosanitary certificate. Symptoms were not evident on arrival. Any daylilies imported from countries where the rust has been recorded may harbour spores of the pathogen or carry the pathogen as a latent infection. A ban on the importation of daylilies from those countries where the disease has been recorded or the introduction of a requirement that imported daylilies be grown in nurseries where the rust has not been recorded in the last 12 months should assist exclusion. No information is available on the importation of other hosts of the daylily rust into the EU/EPPO region so risks are difficult to assess. However, imported species of Patrinia and Hosta should be closely examined for disease symptoms. The first interception in 2001 was on one of four plants introduced from Florida by a private collector/grower and it is believed that this outbreak has been eradicated. In this instance, the importer was a plant pathologist and, because of his familiarity with plant diseases and knowledge that there was a serious rust of daylilies in the USA, he alerted the UK NPPO to the rust problem. It is possible that infected plants 4 CSL Pest Risk Analysis for Puccinia hemerocallidis CSL copyright, 2005 from the same nursery in Florida may have been imported by other individuals within the UK and EU/EPPO region. Therefore, the rust may already be present in Europe. 10. What are the prospects for eradication? Given the epidemiology of the daylily rust fungus and its ability to survive as a latent infection, eradication may be difficult once the pathogen is introduced. Puccinia hemerocallidis is capable of surviving on daylily (and possibly Hosta spp.) alone; no other host species is required for it to perennate. It spreads by means of wind-blown or water-splashed urediospores and the movement of affected plants. However, if infected plants are detected before spread is possible and there are no other hosts in close vicinity, there is a chance that the fungus could be eradicated. Spores of the rust fungus released from Patrinia spp. can infect daylily and possibly Hosta spp. in the same way. Again if infected plants are detected before spread, the fungus could be eradicated. 11. How would eradication be achieved? Eradication would be achieved by the destruction of affected plants and by quarantining surrounding daylilies and other hosts, which would need to be cut back and treated with systemic fungicides for an extended period.

  • Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes
    Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes Shichao Chen1., Dong-Kap Kim2., Mark W. Chase3, Joo-Hwan Kim4* 1 College of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, Shanghai, China, 2 Division of Forest Resource Conservation, Korea National Arboretum, Pocheon, Gyeonggi- do, Korea, 3 Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, United Kingdom, 4 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Abstract Phylogenetic analysis aims to produce a bifurcating tree, which disregards conflicting signals and displays only those that are present in a large proportion of the data. However, any character (or tree) conflict in a dataset allows the exploration of support for various evolutionary hypotheses. Although data-display network approaches exist, biologists cannot easily and routinely use them to compute rooted phylogenetic networks on real datasets containing hundreds of taxa. Here, we constructed an original neighbour-net for a large dataset of Asparagales to highlight the aspects of the resulting network that will be important for interpreting phylogeny. The analyses were largely conducted with new data collected for the same loci as in previous studies, but from different species accessions and greater sampling in many cases than in published analyses. The network tree summarised the majority data pattern in the characters of plastid sequences before tree building, which largely confirmed the currently recognised phylogenetic relationships. Most conflicting signals are at the base of each group along the Asparagales backbone, which helps us to establish the expectancy and advance our understanding of some difficult taxa relationships and their phylogeny.

H. middendorffii was distinguished from its related taxon H. dumortieri by the trait of coriaceous long bract with green color. H. taeanensis was distinguished from its related taxon H. minor by its odorless flowers, longer perianth tube and leaf length. H. thunbergii was distinguished from its related taxon H. lilio- asphodelus by its long perianth tube. Lastly, H. hakuunensis was distinct from its related taxon H. hongdoensis as a result of its extreme branching of scape and short leaf width. From this study, it was revealed that H. minor, H. lilioasphodelus, and H. dumortieri were distributed only in the northern part of the Korean peninsular.

McLAY* & MICHAEL J. BAYLY School of BioSciences, The University of Melbourne, Vic. 3010, Australia; e-mail: [email protected] *author for correspondence Abstract Chamaescilla is an endemic Australian genus, currently placed in the Asparagaceae, alongside other Australian endemic taxa in the tribe Lomandroideae. A recent molecular phylogeny indicated a relationship with another partly Australian family, the Xanthorrhoeaceae, but was not commented on by the authors. Here we added DNA sequence data for a single Chamaescilla specimen to an alignment representing all families in the Asparagales and performed parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses. Chamaescilla was strongly resolved as belonging to Xanthorrhoeaceae, subfamily Hemerocallidoideae, along- side two non-Australian members, Simethis and Hemerocallis in the hemerocallid clade. This position is corroborated by morphological characters, including pollen grain shape. We also produced an age-calibrated phylogeny and infer that the geographic distribution of the clade is the result of long distance dispersal between the Eocene and Miocene. Key words: Asphodelaceae, biogeography, phylogeny, taxonomy Introduction Chamaescilla Mueller ex Bentham (1878: 48; commonly known as blue squill, blue stars or mudrut, Fig. 1) is a genus including four species that are endemic to Australia, found in the southwest and southeast of the country (Keighery 2001). All species are small, perennial tuberous herbs with annual leaves and flowers.

    © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Stapfia 80 333-348 5.7.2002 Phylogenetics of Ruscaceae sensu lato based on plastid rbcL and trnL-F DNA sequences CG. JANG & M. PFOSSER Abstract: JANG C.G. & M. PFOSSER (2002): Phylogenetics of Ruscaceae sensu lato based on plastid rbcL and /rni-FDNA sequences. — Stapfia 80: 333-348. We studied the phylogeny and relationships among several families within Asparagales by analysis of trnL-F and rbcL sequences. As judged from rbcL, trnL-F or combined data, the order Asparagales is monophyletic with high bootstrap support. The classifica- tion into higher and lower asparagoids, which are characterized by successive mi- crosporogenesis and simultaneous microsporogenesis, respectively, is only weakly sup- ported by the trnL-F and combined data. The lower asparagoids with simultaneous mi- crosporogenesis are clearly not monophyletic. Within Asparagales, the families Con- vallariaceae, Ruscaceae, Dracaenaceae and Nolinaceae are not monophyletic. This is well supported by trnL-F data and the combined analysis and moderately supported by rbcL sequences. Especially Convallariaceae are highly polyphyletic. However, the four families formed a clearly defined clade in our analysis and thus, the concept of lumping the four families into a large family Ruscaceae s. lat. received further support. Within Ruscaceae s. lat., the genus Peliosanthes does not have a fixed position. This genus oc- cupies a position basal to the remaining taxa both in the rbcL and the combined trees, but falls into a clade together with Liriope and Ophiopogon like in traditional taxonomy in the trnL-F analysis. Both in the trnL-F and the combined trees the families Aspara- gaceae and Eriospermaceae are located next to Ruscaceae s.
