| Abstract |
- In August 2012, wilted hop bines were observed in a yard near Seneca Castle, New York,
affecting 10 to 20% of the plants. Affected bines had a dark stem discoloration and wilted
leaves that remained attached after bines were killed. Dark brown to black, erumpent
pycnidia were aggregated in the cortical tissue on portions of affected stems. Isolations
were made from surface-sterilized stem pieces onto potato dextrose agar (PDA), and
hyphal tips were isolated and transferred to 1% water agar amended with shredded,
sterilized hop stem pieces. A pycnidial fungus was consistently isolated that produced darkbrown
to black colonies within two weeks. Conidia measuring (19.5–) 24.4 (–31.7) μm ×
(9.7–) 11 (–12.2) μm were dark brown when mature, thick-walled, aseptate, and ovoid,
with a truncate to rounded base. These characteristics suggested Diplodia seriata (Phillips
et al. 2007). Conidial measurements and other morphological characters were consistent
with those of an ex-type specimen of D. seriata (CBS 112555). Elongation factor 1-α, betatubulin,
and ITS gene sequences were obtained from two isolates obtained from hop plants
with standard primers (Úrbez-Torres et al. 2008; White et al. 1990) and deposited in
GenBank (Accession Nos. KT460188, KT460189, KT460190, KT460191, KT447248, and
KT447249). The sequences for each isolate and locus were 99%, 100%, and 100%
homologous to corresponding sequences of Diplodia seriata isolate CBS 112555 (Accession
Nos. AY573220, DQ458856, and NR_111151, respectively). Pathogenicity assays were
conducted with D. seriata isolates DS-01 and DS-02 utilizing a toothpick inoculation
procedure (Putnam 2004) to wound and deliver inoculum into the lower portions of stems
near the soil. ‘Fuggle’ hop plants were pruned to two main stems, each trained separately
onto bamboo stakes. On each of 7 to 8 replicate plants per isolate, one stem was
inoculated by piercing with a PDA-coated toothpick colonized by the fungus; the other stem was not inoculated. Eight control plants were pierced with a PDA-coated toothpick without
the fungus. Plants were kept in a mist chamber for 10 days and then maintained in a
greenhouse at 24°C with a 14-h light cycle for 9 months. Twenty-nine percent of plants
inoculated with isolate DS-01 and 38% of plants inoculated with DS-02 had stunted growth
and wilting, and developed diffuse lesions radiating outward from the inoculation site. The
fungus was reisolated from all symptomatic stems and confirmed as D. seriata based on
morphological characters and resequencing of the three loci. The pathogen was not
recovered from asymptomatic plants or noninoculated controls. To our knowledge, this is
the first report of infection of hop by D. seriata in the United States. At present, the
disease appears to be only a minor issue on hop in New York State. D. seriata is a
common and broadly distributed pathogen on grapevine and other woody hosts. The long
incubation period of this fungus may limit symptom development on the annually produced
shoots of hop.
