Abstract Uncommon, opaque particles (of approximately 20-22 nm, referred to as OP), aggregating into paracrystalloids occurred only next to colonized cells in carnation plants of either a susceptible or resistant cultivar (cv.) infected with Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. dianthi. In the susceptible plant, those structures occurred in vessel lumina and host walls, apparently associated with their alterations, but not in parenchyma cells, a situation which was the exact opposite of that observed in resistant plants. In comparison with apparently similar structures reported in other systems, paracrystalloids and their OPs did not seem to have exact counterparts in plants infected with viruses or fungi, although similar paracrystalloids were observed in nematode-infected plants. The OPs were associated in both cvs. with fine opaque matter, often displaying fine filamentous structures, and were in addition connected to fungal cells in the susceptible cv. Similar structures also extended through host walls into adjoining cells; these relations with parenchyma cells in resistant plants were interpreted as if the particles therein were akin to, if not exactly of the same nature as those in susceptible plants. As the opaque matter, the filamentous structures and the OPs were interrelated and associated with pathogen cells, it seemed warranted to assume that the OPs were issued from the pathogen.

Electron-opaque (EO) structures were studied, using light and electron microscopy, in the xylem parenchyma cells and vessels of both incompatible and compatible Apium graveolens L. var. rapaceum (celeriac) and compatible Apium graveolens L. var. dulce (celery) roots 24 h after inoculation with Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. apii race 2. Few small EO bodies were observed in the noninoculated hosts. Histological, cytochemical, and chemical tests indicated the presence of phenolic substances and polysaccharides in the EO materials. These EO structures increased both in number and size as infection progressed. The incompatible host produced three and five times more of the EO materials than the compatible celeriac and celery, respectively. The amount of the EO materials and host compatibility were related to the absence and presence of fungal hyphae in the vascular system. Hyphae either associated with or enveloped by the EO structures were vacuolated; their cytoplasm was restricted to the cell periphery. Occlusion of the xylem vessel pores of the incompatible host with the EO structures likely prevented upward spread of the pathogen throughout the entire plant.

Fusarium wilt of watermelon, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (FON), is pathogenic only to watermelon and has become one of the main limiting factors in watermelon production internationally. Detection methods for this pathogen are limited, with few published molecular assays available to differentiate FON from other formae speciales of F. oxysporum. FON has four known races that vary in virulence but are difficult and costly to differentiate using traditional inoculation methods and only race 2 can be differentiated molecularly. In this study, genomic and chromosomal comparisons facilitated the development of a conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay that could differentiate race 3 from races 1 and 2, and by using two other published PCR markers in unison with the new marker, the three races could be differentiated. The new PCR marker, FNR3-F/FNR3-R, amplified a 511 bp region on the “pathogenicity chromosome” of the FON genome that is absent in race 3. FNR3-F/FNR3-R detected genomic DNA down to 2.0 pg/µL. This marker, along with two previously published FON markers, was successfully applied to test over 160 pathogenic FON isolates from Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Together, these three FON primer sets worked well for differentiating races 1, 2, and 3 of FON. For each marker, a greater proportion (60 to 90%) of molecular results agreed with the traditional bioassay method of race differentiation compared to those that did not. The new PCR marker should be useful to differentiate FON races and improve Fusarium wilt research.

ABSTRACT Race 1 isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (FOL) are characterized by the presence of AVR1 in their genomes. The product of this gene, Avr1, triggers resistance in tomato cultivars carrying resistance gene I. In FOL race 2 and race 3 isolates, AVR1 is absent, and hence they are virulent on tomato cultivars carrying I. In this study, we analyzed an approximately 100-kb genomic fragment containing the AVR1 locus of FOL race 1 isolate 004 (FOL004) and compared it to the sequenced genome of FOL race 2 isolate 4287 (FOL4287). A genomic fragment of 31 kb containing AVR1 was found to be missing in FOL4287. Further analysis suggests that race 2 evolved from race 1 by deletion of this 31-kb fragment due to a recombination event between two transposable elements bordering the fragment. A worldwide collection of 71 FOL isolates representing races 1, 2, and 3, all known vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs), and five continents was subjected to PCR analysis of the AVR1 locus, including the two bordering transposable elements. Based on phylogenetic analysis using the EF1-α gene, five evolutionary lineages for FOL that correlate well with VCGs were identified. More importantly, we show that FOL races evolved in a stepwise manner within each VCG by the loss of function of avirulence genes in a number of alternative ways. IMPORTANCE Plant-pathogenic microorganisms frequently mutate to overcome disease resistance genes that have been introduced in crops. For the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, the causal agent of Fusarium wilt in tomato, we have identified the nature of the mutations that have led to the overcoming of the I and I-2 resistance genes in all five known clonal lineages, which include a newly discovered lineage. Five different deletion events, at least several of which are caused by recombination between transposable elements, have led to loss of AVR1 and overcoming of I. Two new events affecting AVR2 that led to overcoming of I-2 have been identified. We propose a reconstruction of the evolution of races in FOL, in which the same mutations in AVR2 and AVR3 have occurred in different lineages and the FOL pathogenicity chromosome has been transferred to new lineages several times.

At least four fungal pathogens are involved in the root rot-Fusarium wilt complex of peas which is a serious problem following intensive cropping of peas in South Australia. The pathogens are Fusarium oxysporum f. pisi race 2 Snyder & Hansen, F. solani f. pisi Snyder & Hansen, Pythium ultimum Trow, and Ascochyta pinodella L. K. Jones. In susceptible pea cultivars there is a marked interaction between F. oxysporum and P. ultimum. P. ultimum alone causes initial stunting from which plants gradually recover; F. OX1Jsporum alone probably CRuses little damage; both fungi together CRuse initial stunting followed by severe wilt symptom about 6 weeks after sowing and death 2 weeks later. The importance ofF. solani and A. pinodella has not been fully determined, but they probably cause only minor damage.

Host Parasite

It has been found that the near-wilt disease of peas, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. pisi race 2 (Linford) Snyder & Hansen, is now present in the canning districts of Ontario. Conclusions as to the identity of the fungus associated with the wilting condition in field plants have been based upon a study of the differential disease-response of the pea varieties Little Marvel, W.R. Perfection and New Era, the histology of infection in the susceptible pea host, and the characteristics of the fungus when in culture. The capacity of the fungus to establish a symptomless host-parasite relationship with certain legumes not normally regarded as susceptible to the near-wilt pathogen has been demonstrated. The possible role of such "non-susceptible hosts" in perpetuating the fungus between pea crops has been discussed.

This study was done to evaluate the efficiency of non-pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum isolates (141/3, 233, 233/1, 245, 245/1, 251, 251/2, 251/5, and 257) in controlling vascular wilt caused by F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, race 2 (isolates C-21A, TO11, and TO245) in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) cv. Viradoro seedlings. In order to determine the effect of non-pathogenic F. oxysporum isolates in tomato plants, the root system of 30-day-old seedlings was immersed in conidial suspensions (10(6) ml-1) of each isolate and the seedlings were transplanted to a cultivation substrate. Thirty-five days after transplanting it was observed that the non-pathogenic F. oxysporum isolates were not pathogenic to the cv. Viradoro nor did they affect seedling development. The efficiency of the non-pathogenic F. oxysporum isolates in controlling Fusarium wilt was determined by immersing the tomato seedling roots in the conidial suspension (10(6) ml-1) of each isolate and then transplanting them into substrates previously infested with isolates of F. oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici, race 2 (10(5) conidia ml-1 of substrate). Evaluations were performed 35 days after transplanting, for severity in scale with 1=healthy plant to 6=dead plant or plant showing vessel browning and wilted leaves up to the leader shoot and seedling height. The non-pathogenic F. oxysporum isolates were efficient in reducing the severity of the disease and maintaining normal plant development. These results provide evidence of the antagonistic activity of non-pathogenic F. oxysporum isolates in controlling vascular wilt caused by F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici race 2 in tomato.
