In February 2015, in the municipalities of Esperantina, Piauí State, and Assaré, Ceará State, Brazil, charcoal rot-like symptoms were observed in lima bean plant and seedlings, which showed brown discoloration at the soil line extending up the stem which turned dark brown to black. Adult plant pods were seen covered with mycelia. The disease incidence was 7.5% (avg. of two fields). Fragments of stems were surface-disinfested with 2% sodium hypochlorite. Samples were plated in potato dextrose agar (PDA) growth medium and incubated at 25 ± 1°C, with a 12-h photoperiod. Direct isolation was made from mycelium in pods. Fungal colonies were initially white, which became gray with a black reverse, with abundant aerial mycelia and production of microsclerodia. The cultures were deposited in the Culture Collection of Phytopathogenic Fungi of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil (CMM3540 and CMM3543). Pycnidia were not observed to form in the culture medium, but pycnidia were abundant on the symptomatic leaves and stems. The pycnidia had a globular shape and ranged in size from 121.0 to 205.3 (avg. 163.1 µm), while the microconidia formed were hyaline and ovoid, measuring 26.0 to 31.7 (avg. 28.8 µm) × 10.0 to 12.4 (avg. 11.2 µm). After 4 days of incubation in PDA, black microsclerotia (50.0 to 96.4 µm) were observed. Total DNA of isolates was extracted using a Wizard Genomic DNA Purification kit (Promega). The elongation factor (EF-1α) gene was amplified with EF1-728F (CATCGAGAAGTTCGAGAAGG) (Carbone and Kohn 1999) and Ef-2 (GGAAGTACCAGTGATCATGTT) (O'Donnell et al. 1998) primers and sequenced (KX898440 and KX890093). The sequences showed 100% identity (CMM3540) and 99% (CMM3543) similarity with Macrophomina phaseolina (KF952001 and KF553897). Based on morphological and phylogenetic analysis, the isolates were identified as M. phaseolina. The pathogenicity of the two sequenced isolates was confirmed in lima bean plants under greenhouse conditions. Lima bean seeds were surface-disinfested in 2% sodium hypochlorite. The seeds were planted in 2.8-liter plastic pots containing autoclaved soil. Deposition of rice grains infested with the fungus was carried out in the sowing furrows. Design was completely randomized, with seven pots with three plants. The experiment was conducted twice, with seven repetitions. Plants were assessed for 30 days. Both isolates were pathogenic to lima bean. Symptoms included seed rot, the presence of dark lesions on the hypocotyl and epicotyl, and drying and death of seedlings. A red-to-dark brown spot was observed in the region of the cotyledonary nodes. Abundant microsclerotia were noted on the stems, as well as seedlings with reduced root systems. No symptoms were observed in the control plants. The fungi were successfully reisolated from infected stems but not from the control plants. The fungi were identified by morphological markers and by sequencing of the EF-1α gene. M. phaseolina has been detected in the world's most important cultivated legumes (Gupta et al. 2012). However, there are only two reports of its natural occurrence in lima bean, in India and the United States (Farr and Rossman 2016). To our knowledge, this is the first record of M. phaseolina causing charcoal rot in lima bean in Brazil. This result paves the way for the development of management strategies for the disease.References:Carbone, I., and Kohn, L. M. 1999.
