Since 2010, poplar trees over 2 years old have been found in commercial plantations exhibiting leaf yellowing followed by leaf fall with severe root rot. Dead poplars have been found amid scattered patches of diseased trees. Fungal cultures consistently isolated from roots of diseased trees were purified by using the hyphal tip method (Dhingra and Sinclair 1985). Cultures did not produce any specialized structures associated with sexual or asexual reproduction. However, they presented the typical pear-shaped swelling at the septa of mycelia, which is characteristic of the genus Rosellinia (Castro et al. 2013). DNA was extracted from two cultures and used for amplification of the ITS-5.8S rDNA region by PCR using the primers ITS4 and ITS5 described by White et al. (1990). The PCR products (530 bp) were sequenced and compared in GenBank using BLAST analysis. The sequences (KU935438 and KU935439) were 99% similar with Rosellinia bunodes (Berk. & Broome) Sacc., accession no. AB609598.1 (Castro et al. 2013). To confirm pathogenicity, four isolates of R. bunodes were used to inoculate twelve 6-month-old poplar seedlings. Sorghum grains colonized by R. bunodes were used as inoculum. For inoculum production, seven 8 mm diameter mycelial plugs taken from the edge of 12-day-old potato dextrose agar (PDA) cultures, incubated at 24 ± 2°C in the dark, were transferred to 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks containing 80 g of previously autoclaved sorghum grains. After 17 days of incubation at 24 ± 2°C in the dark, grains colonized by the fungus were mixed with a commercial plant substrate, in the proportion of 1 kg of substrate to 32 g of sorghum grains. The mixture was placed in plastic pots where poplar seedlings were transplanted. The control plants were transplanted to a substrate containing uncolonized grains. The fungus reisolated on PDA plates from infected seedlings was morphologically identical to field isolates. Thirteen days after transplantation, dead plants were already found, proving the pathogenicity of the fungal isolates. No symptoms were observed on control plants. It is interesting to note that our isolate also caused symptoms on araucaria pine (Araucaria angustifolia) and yerba mate (Ilex paraguaiensis) seedlings, two Brazilian native forest species, and that R. bunodes was reisolated from the inoculated seedlings. No symptoms occurred on the control plants. Live cultures of R. bunodes are preserved at the Laboratory of Forest Pathology of Embrapa Forestry, Colombo, Paraná, Brazil. To our knowledge, this is the first report of R. bunodes causing root rot on poplar in Brazil.References:Castro, B. L., et al. 2013. Australas.
