Colletotrichum spp: SENSIBILIDADE À FUNGICIDAS E REAÇÃO À CULTIVARES DE SOJA

Antracnose é uma das doenças economicamente mais importantes da soja e de difícil controle no Mato Grosso, causando perdas significativas de produtividade. Objetivo foi verificar a sensibilidade de fungicidas e reação de cultivares de soja a 30 isolados de Colletotrichum. A ação de sete fungicidas (azoxistrobina + ciproconazol, piraclostrobina + epoxiconazol, trifloxistrobina + protioconazol, piraclostrobina, carbendazim, fluxpiroxada + piraclostrobina e azoxistrobina) foi avaliada medindo o crescimento micelial in vitro. Todos os fungicidas afetaram o crescimento micelial, mas piraclostrobina + epoxiconazol e piraclostrobina foram os mais eficientes. Além disso, 6 cultivares foram inoculadas com 27 isolados para análise de tombamento pré e pós-emergência, incidência e severidade da doença. Os dados de incidência e severidade foram submetidos à fórmula da Área Abaixo da Curva de Progresso da Doença. Interação significativa foi observada entre isolados e cultivares em todas as variáveis. Os isolados IT-4, IT-6, LU-3, MT-1, NU-5, PN-1, QU-2, SO-6, SO-11 e VR-1 apresentaram maior tombamento e AACPD. Exceto QU-2 todos os isolados apresentam conídios falcados. As cultivares 8866, 1179 e 9144 apresentaram menor incidência e severidade da doença.

As hifas foram observadas em amostras com 96 h após inoculação. As mesmas estruturas fúngicas alcançaram as células parenquimáticas com 120 horas após inoculação. O peg de penetração foi observado apenas em frutos com 85 e 110 dias. Estruturas do tecido vegetal e fenóis foram alterados com a idade dos frutos.The objective of this study was to determine the effect of temperature and the wetness periods in the infection process of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and C. acutatum in guava and citrus leaves, respectively, besides evidencing the colonization process of C. gloeosporioides. To determine the infection process at different temperature and wetness periods combinations, conidial suspensions of C. gloeosporioides were deposited on polystyrene dishes and incubated at 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 °C with wetness periods of 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h. For C. acutatum, the dishes were incubated at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 °C, with wetness periods of 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h. In vivo conidial suspensions of C. gloeosporioides were placed on the surface of guavas which were incubated at 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 °C with wetness periods of 6, 12 and 24 h. The citrus leaves were inoculated with suspensions of two isolates of C. acutatum and incubated at 15, 20, 25 and 30 °C with wetness durations of 12, 24 and 48 h. For the analysis on the colonization process, physiological mature guava fruits were inoculated and incubated at 25 °C with wetness periods of 48, 72, 96 and 120 h. Afterward, fruits with 10, 35, 60 and 85 days were also inoculated and incubated at 25 °C for 48 hours. To visualize the structures of vegetal tissues and phenols, sections of fruits at different ages were colored in toluidine blue and ACN. Optical temperature for conidial germination, appressoria formation and appressoria melanization for C. gloeosporioides were, respectively, 22.7, 20.6 and 23.0 °C. For C. acutatum isolate KLA-MGG-1, they were 23.9 °C for germination and 23.5 °C for appressoria formation and for isolate FSH-CLB-2 it was 21.6 °C for both variable. In guava, the temperatures for germination of C. gloeosporioides and appressoria formation were 22.4 and 23.3 °C, respectively. In leaves of orange trees, the optimal temperatures for the isolates KLA-MGG-1 and FSH-CLB-2 were, respectively, 24.1 and 24 °C for germination and 21.2 and 23 °C for appressoria formation. In leaves of lemon trees, they were 18.1 °C for germination and 16.2 °C for appressorial production of isolate KLA-MGG-1. For isolate FSH-CLB-2, the optimal temperatures were 24.4 and 23.7 °C, respectively. The colonization strategy of C. gloeosporioides was intracellular hemibiotrophic. The penetration peg was verified in samples 48 h after inoculation. After 72 h, it was observed formation of infection vesicle. The hyphae were observed in samples 96 h after inoculation. The same fungal structures reached the parenchymal cells 120 hours after inoculation. The penetration peg was observed only in fruits with 85 and 110 days. Structures of guava tissues and phenols were changed with the fruit aging

Histopathology of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides on guava fruits (Psidium guajava L.)

Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, produces brown lesions on guava fruits, causing severe losses on postharvest. In this study, the infection and colonization of guava fruits by C. gloeosporioides has been examined using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Fruits at the physiologically mature stage were inoculated with a 10(5) conidia/mL spore suspension. Afterward, fruits were incubated at 25 °C in a wet chamber for periods of 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 and 120 h to allow examination of the infection and colonization process. Conidia germination and appressoria formation occurred six hours after inoculation (h.a.i). Penetration occurred directly via penetration pegs from appressoria, which penetrated the host cuticle 48 h.a.i. Notably, the appressoria did not produce an appressorial cone surrounding the penetration pore. Infection vesicles were found in epidermal cells 96 h.a.i. The same fungal structures were found in epidermal and parenchymal cells of the host 120 h.a.i. Colonization strategy of C. gloeosporioides on guava fruit was intracellular hemibiotrophic

Prepenetration Stages of Guignardia psidii in Guava: Effects of Temperature, Wetness Duration and Fruit Age

This study examined the effects of temperature and wetness duration in vitro and in vivo as well as the effects of fruit age on germination and appressoria formation by conidia of Guignardia psidii, the causal agent of black spot disease in guava fruit. The temperatures tested for in vitro and in vivo experiments were 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 degrees C. The wetness periods studied were 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h in vitro and 6, 12 and 24 h in vivo. Fruit 10, 35, 60, 85 and 110-days old were inoculated and maintained at 25 degrees C, with a wetness period of 24 h. Temperature and wetness duration affected the variables evaluated in vitro and in vivo. All variables reached their maximum values at between 25 and 30 degrees C with a wetness duration of 24 h in vivo and 48 h in vitro. These conditions resulted in 31.3% conidia germination, 33.6% appressoria formation and 32.5% appressoria melanization in vitro, and 50.4% conidia germination and 9.5% appressoria formation in vivo. Fruit age also influenced these factors. As fruit age increased, conidia germination and appressoria formation gradually increased. Conidia germination and appressoria formation were 10.8% and 2.3%, respectively, in 10-day-old fruits. In 110-day-old fruits, conidia germination and appressoria formation were 42.5% and 23.2% respectively

The Infection of Soybean Leaves by Phakopsora pachyrhizi during Conditions of Discontinuous Wetness

The ability of Phakopsora pachyrhizi to cause infection under conditions of discontinuous wetness was investigated. In in vitro experiments, droplets of a uredospore suspension were deposited onto the surface of polystyrene. After an initial wetting period of either 1, 2 or 4 h, the drops were dried for different time intervals and then the wetness was restored for 11, 10 or 8 h. Germination and appressorium formation were evaluated. In in vivo experiments, soybean plants were inoculated with a uredospore suspension. Leaf wetness was interrupted for 1, 3 or 6 h after initial wetting periods of 1, 2 or 4 h. Then, the wetting was re-established for 11, 10 or 8 h, respectively. Rust severity was evaluated 14 days after inoculation. The germination of the spores and the formation of the appressoria on the soybean leaves after different periods of wetness were also quantified in vivo by scanning electron microscopy. P. pachyrhizi showed a high infective capacity during short periods of time. An interruption of wetness after 1 h caused average reductions in germination from 56 to 75% and in appressorium formation from 84 to 96%. Rust severity was lower in all of the in vivo treatments with discontinuous wetness when compared to the control plants. Rust severity was zero when the interruption of wetness occurred 4 h after the initial wetting. Wetting interruptions after 1 and 2 h reduced the average rust severity by 83 and 77%, respectively. The germination of the uredospores on the soybean leaves occurred after 2 h of wetness, with a maximum germination appearing after 4 h of wetness. Wetness interruption affected mainly the spores that had initiated the germination
