Identification of inoculum sources of Fusicladium eriobotryae in loquat orchards in Spain

[EN] Fusicladium eriobotryae is the causal agent of loquat scab, the main disease damaging fruit, leaves and young twigs of this crop. A two-growing season study (2015¿2016 and 2016¿2017) was carried out in two loquat orchards (cv ¿Algerie¿) to determine the inoculum sources of F. eriobotryae by direct observation of conidia, pathogen isolation on culture media and detection using a new real time PCR protocol developed in this study. One-year-old twigs, fruit peduncles and fruit mummies were randomly sampled three times per growing season on each orchard, and inflorescences only at flowering. Conidia of F. eriobotryae were not found and the isolation of the pathogen was neither possible from any sample in both seasons. Specific primers FUG2F and FUG2R, were designed to detect and quantify DNA of F. eriobotryae on plant material, with a limit of detection (LOD) established at 48.6 fg/¿l. The DNA of the pathogen was not detected by real time PCR in fruit mummies nor inflorescences. It was detected in fruit peduncles and twigs in the season 2016¿2017 with concentrations ranging from 50 to 2742 fg/¿l, confirming that this two loquat organs might act as potential inoculum sources for F. eriobotryae. The detection of F. eriobotryae only in this season agrees with the predictions of an epidemiological model for this pathogen. Our results indicate that in years with a high disease pressure, fruit twigs and peduncles might act as a source of inoculum of new infections the following year.This study was funded by Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA) grant number RTA2013-00004-C03-03, and FEDER Funds.

Susceptibility to Melampsora leaf rust of poplar clones from diverse genetic backgrounds: effects on photochemistry and water relations

The selection of resistant genotypes is the most appropriate approach in the prevention of the reduction of biomass and mortality caused by rust infection in poplar plantations. Thus, it is pertinent that we improve our understanding of the consequences that this fungal disease has on leaf physiology. Here, we studied the susceptibility to Melampsora rust in three different poplar clones of commercial interest: Lux clone - Populus deltoides Batr. (cottonwood) and Luisa Avanzo and Adige clones - both Populus × canadensis Mönch. The most susceptible clone to the infection was L. Avanzo whereas Lux and especially Adige were only slightly affected. The propagation of the disease was very rapid in L. Avanzo; their leaves showed a high incidence and severity of the disease in early and advanced stages of infection as was clearly evidenced by the degree of infection. Infected leaves of L. Avanzo were shown to have drought impaired water relations during summer as reflected by the marked decline in the relative water content (RWC). Chlorophyll fluorescence imaging revealed heterogeneity of the effect of the pathogen in the leaves, and areas with pustules showed low maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm) and PSII quantum yield (?PSII) values, indicative of strong photoinhibition. In L. Avanzo, with a greater pustule density, rust provoked a decline in whole leaf photochemistry as indicated by Fv/Fm and photochemical reflectance index (PRI) results. Leaf structural parameters were not affected by the disease but results in L. Avanzo and Lux showed higher leaf mass per area (LMA) and higher leaf density (D) indicating an adaptation to increasing summer drought. In all clones, the effect of the pathogen was reflected in lower leaf chlorophyll content

Characterization and pathogenicity of Cylindrocarpon-like asexual morphs associated with black foot disease in algerian grapevine nurseries, with the description of Pleiocarpon algeriense sp. nov

[EN] During a survey of black foot disease in Algerian grapevine nurseries, a collection of 79 Cylindrocarpon-like isolates were obtained. Based on morphology and DNA sequence data of histone H3 (his3), three species of Dactylonectria were identified including Dactylonectria torresensis (40 isolates), D. macrodidyma (24 isolates) and D. novozelandica (14 isolates). In addition, one isolate belonging to the genus Pleiocarpon was found and it is described here as a new species, Pleiocarpon algeriense, based on morphological features and DNA sequence data of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1), beta-tubulin (tub2), large subunit nrDNA (LSU) and histone H3 (his3). This is the first time that these species are reported in Algeria. Pathogenicity tests, were conducted with representative isolates from each species. All of them were able to induce typical necrosis symptoms on grapevine cuttings. These results emphasize the urgent need to implement an integrated management strategy for black foot disease in Algerian grapevine nurseries in order to reduce the incidence of this disease on grapevine planting material and to prevent that it spreads to new grapevine production areas.Much of this work was supported by the laboratory of the Grupo de Investigacion en Hongos Fitopatogenos, Instituto Agroforestal Mediterraneo (IAM), Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (UPV), Spain.

This article may be used for non-commercial purposes in accordance with Wiley Terms and Conditions for Self-Archiving.[EN] Lasiodiplodia theobromae is one of the most frequent fungal pathogens associated with dieback, gummosis, leaf spot, stem-end rot and fruit rot symptoms in cashew, mango, papaya and grapevine. In this study, the variation in the genetic diversity of 117 L. theobromae isolates from northeastern Brazil (n = 100) and Mexico (n = 17), which were collected from these four crops, was analysed using microsatellite markers. The results revealed low genetic diversity among L. theobromae populations and the existence of two genetic groups. All Mexican isolates were grouped with Brazilian isolates, suggesting a low level of differentiation between these populations. Furthermore, no evident host or climate-based population differentiation was observed for L. theobromae in Brazil. The populations studied were mostly clonal, but additional studies are needed to better understand the mode of reproduction of the pathogen. The low genetic diversity of L. theobromae populations in northeastern Brazil suggests that resistant cultivars could be used as a durable management strategy to reduce the impact of the diseases caused by this pathogen.This study was financially supported by CoordenacAo de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior - CAPES, 'Ciencia sem Fronteiras - CAPES' (number 88881.132070/2016-01) and the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia.

Analysis of the geological control on the spatial distribution of potentially toxic concentrations of As and F- in groundwater on a Pan-European scale

The distribution of the high concentrations of arsenic (As) and fluoride (F-) in groundwater on a Pan-European scale could be explained by the geological European context (lithology and structural faults). To test this hypothesis, seventeen countries and eighteen geological survey organizations (GSOs) have participated in the dataset. The methodology has used the HydroGeoToxicity (HGT) and the Baseline Concentration (BLC) index. The results prove that most of the waters considered in this study are in good conditions for drinking water consumption, in terms of As and/or F- content. A low proportion of the analysed samples present HGT≥ 1 levels (4% and 7% for As and F-, respectively). The spatial distribution of the highest As and/or F- concentrations (via BLC values) has been analysed using GIS tools. The highest values are identified associated with fissured hard rock outcrops (crystalline rocks) or Cenozoic sedimentary zones, where basement fractures seems to have an obvious control on the distribution of maximum concentrations of these elements in groundwaters.This research was co-funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (GeoERA HOVER project) under grant agreement number 731166.

Diseño para el desarrollo sustentable y la habitabilidad segura e incluyente

Este libro se divide en dos partes que permiten permear en el campo de la enseñanza del diseño; la primera se enfoca en temáticas que se desprenden del diseño en la educación para la sustentabilidad; en la segunda, se identifican las tendencias del diseño como un modo de verlo y sentirlo: va desde el diseño emocional hacia uno de conservación, reúso y reparación de objetos para reducir el consumo de recursos materiales

Albiglutide and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (Harmony Outcomes): a double-blind, randomised placebo-controlled trial

Background: Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists differ in chemical structure, duration of action, and in their effects on clinical outcomes. The cardiovascular effects of once-weekly albiglutide in type 2 diabetes are unknown. We aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of albiglutide in preventing cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke. Methods: We did a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial in 610 sites across 28 countries. We randomly assigned patients aged 40 years and older with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (at a 1:1 ratio) to groups that either received a subcutaneous injection of albiglutide (30–50 mg, based on glycaemic response and tolerability) or of a matched volume of placebo once a week, in addition to their standard care. Investigators used an interactive voice or web response system to obtain treatment assignment, and patients and all study investigators were masked to their treatment allocation. We hypothesised that albiglutide would be non-inferior to placebo for the primary outcome of the first occurrence of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke, which was assessed in the intention-to-treat population. If non-inferiority was confirmed by an upper limit of the 95% CI for a hazard ratio of less than 1·30, closed testing for superiority was prespecified. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02465515. Findings: Patients were screened between July 1, 2015, and Nov 24, 2016. 10 793 patients were screened and 9463 participants were enrolled and randomly assigned to groups: 4731 patients were assigned to receive albiglutide and 4732 patients to receive placebo. On Nov 8, 2017, it was determined that 611 primary endpoints and a median follow-up of at least 1·5 years had accrued, and participants returned for a final visit and discontinuation from study treatment; the last patient visit was on March 12, 2018. These 9463 patients, the intention-to-treat population, were evaluated for a median duration of 1·6 years and were assessed for the primary outcome. The primary composite outcome occurred in 338 (7%) of 4731 patients at an incidence rate of 4·6 events per 100 person-years in the albiglutide group and in 428 (9%) of 4732 patients at an incidence rate of 5·9 events per 100 person-years in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·78, 95% CI 0·68–0·90), which indicated that albiglutide was superior to placebo (p<0·0001 for non-inferiority; p=0·0006 for superiority). The incidence of acute pancreatitis (ten patients in the albiglutide group and seven patients in the placebo group), pancreatic cancer (six patients in the albiglutide group and five patients in the placebo group), medullary thyroid carcinoma (zero patients in both groups), and other serious adverse events did not differ between the two groups. There were three (<1%) deaths in the placebo group that were assessed by investigators, who were masked to study drug assignment, to be treatment-related and two (<1%) deaths in the albiglutide group. Interpretation: In patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, albiglutide was superior to placebo with respect to major adverse cardiovascular events. Evidence-based glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists should therefore be considered as part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Biologia i epidemiologia de fongs patògens de la fusta de la vinya i noves perspectives en el seu control = Biology and epidemiology of grapevine trunk pathogenic fungi and new perspectives on their control

[cat] En les últimes dècades, les malalties de la fusta de la vinya han estat motiu d’una preocupació creixent, paral·lela a l’augment de la seva incidència arreu del món. En aquest context, l’objectiu global d’aquesta tesi ha estat el d’ampliar el coneixement de la biologia i l’epidemiologia d’aquestes malalties, així com el de valorar l’aplicació d’aquests nous coneixements en seu el control. Diferents espècies de fongs de la família Botryosphaeriaceae -entre elles, Diplodia seriata-, Eutypa lata i Phaeomoniella chlamydospora són alguns dels fongs patògens més importants. En un primer estudi es van caracteritzar 83 soques de D. seriata, des del punt de vista molecular, fenotípic -basat en la morfologia dels conidis, el creixement miceliar i la compatibilitat vegetativa i sexual- i patogènic. L’estudi molecular va mostrar un polimorfisme del 88 % entre les soques, que es van classificar en dos grups genètics diferenciats. La resta d’estudis realitzats no van ser congruents amb l’agrupació genètica establerta i es va posar de manifest una gran variabilitat intraespecífica a D. seriata. Malgrat això, es va confirmar el caràcter patogènic d’aquesta espècie. Per a millorar algunes tècniques de treball amb els tres patògens citats anteriorment, es va determinar el rang de concentració d’espores òptim per a realitzar inoculacions artificials en sarments de vinya. Per a obtenir percentatges d’infecció d’entre 50 i 70 % van ser necessaris de 100 a 1000 conidis de D. seriata per ferida inoculada, de 100 a 2000 conidis de P. chlamydospora i de 100 a 500 ascòspores d’E. lata. Es va estudiar l’alliberament de conidis de D. seriata en les restes de poda de la vinya. Es va observar la reducció progressiva de l’inòcul, amb disminucions significatives en el nombre de picnidis amb conidis, el nombre de conidis per picnidi i el seu percentatge de germinació . Tot i això, tres anys i mig després de la poda encara es detectaven conidis amb capacitat germinativa, fet indicatiu d’una gran persistència de la font d’inòcul. Es va determinar la micoflora d’infeccions naturals de les ferides de poda de la vinya. Els fongs més freqüents van ser, en ordre decreixent, D. seriata, P. chlamydospora i Cryptovalsa ampelina. En conjunt, les infeccions van ser més freqüents després de la poda d’hivern, en comparació amb la poda primerenca, a la tardor. La pluja acumulada després de la poda i les temperatures registrades durant aquest període van correlacionar positivament amb els percentatges d’infecció observats. La susceptibilitat de les ferides de poda a D. seriata i P. chlamydospora va disminuir a mesura que augmentava el temps entre la poda i la infecció. Les ferides van restar més temps susceptibles a la infecció de D. seriata després d’una poda a l’hivern. La longitud de l’entrenús podat no va semblar interferir en la colonització del sarment de D. seriata; en canvi, va dificultar la de P. chlamydospora. Finalment, es va estudiar l’efecte del tractament de termoteràpia amb aigua calenta sobre la viabilitat de vuit espècies de Botryosphaeriaceae. En un primer assaig in vitro, es va avaluar la supervivència i el creixement del miceli després de sotmetre els fongs a diverses combinacions de temps i temperatura en un bany d’aigua calenta. En un segon assaig in planta, els fongs, prèviament inoculats en sarments de vinya, es van sotmetre a un rang de 50-53 °C durant 30 minuts i se’n va determinar la supervivència. En l’assaig in vitro, D. seriata, Spencermartinsia viticola, Neofusicoccum luteum i N. parvum van ser les espècies més sensibles, i N. vitifusiforme i Lasiodiplodia theobromae, les més tolerants. En l’assaig in planta, totes les espècies van ser controlades a 51 °C, quedant demostrada l’eficàcia d’aquesta tècnica i la seva potencialitat per a ser usada en el procés de producció de planta al viver.[eng] This thesis aimed at providing new background knowledge about the biology and epidemiology of grapevine trunk diseases as well as to integrate the outcome into the development of new control measures. Some of the most relevant trunk pathogenic fungi including Diplodia seriata, Phaeomoniella chlamydospora and Eutypa lata were studied. Eighty-three D. seriata isolates were characterized with respect to their genetic, phenotypic and pathogenic features. Isolates were grouped into two distinct genetic groups. No relationships between these groups and the other studied variables were found. Diplodia seriata was confirmed as a weak grapevine pathogen but showing intraespecific variability in terms of virulence. In order to optimize the inoculum potential used in artificial inoculations with D. seriata, E. lata and P. chlamydospora, grapevine pruning wounds were inoculated with different spore doses. Infection percentages between 50-70 % were achieved when inoculating with 100-1000 conidia of D. seriata per wound, 100-2000 conidia of P. chlamydospora and 100-500 ascospores of E. lata. Release of D. seriata conidia from pruning debris was assessed. A progressive reduction in inoculum pressure was recorded as a decrease in pycnidia that contained conidia, mean amount of conidia per pycnidium and conidial viability. However, 3.5 years after pruning, viable conidia were still detected, thus confirming that pruning debris is an important long-lasting inoculum source. Pathogenic micoflora resulting from natural infections of pruning wounds included, in order of descending abundance, D. seriata, P. chlamydospora, Cryptovalsa ampelina and E. lata. Infection rates were generally higher after a late punning in winter as compared with those of an early pruning in autumn. The susceptibility of pruning wounds to D. seriata and P. chlamydospora decreased as the time between pruning and infection events increased. Pruning wounds remained more susceptible to D. seriata after a late pruning in winter. The length of the pruned internode did not inhibit cane colonization by D. seriata, but it did for P. chlamydospora. Hot water treatment reduced the viability and mycelial growth of eight Botryosphaeriaceae species in laboratory tests, thus showing the feasibility of this technique as a means of control in the grapevine propagation process
