Assessing long-distance atmospheric transport of soilborne plant pathogens

چکیده
Abstract Pathogenic fungi are a leading cause of crop disease and primarily spread through microscopic, durable spores adapted differentially for both persistence dispersal via soil, animals, water, and/or the atmosphere. Computational Earth system models air pollution have been used to simulate atmospheric spore transport aerial-dispersal-adapted (airborne) rust diseases, but importance soil-dispersal-adapted (soilborne) diseases remains unknown. While few existing simulation studies focused on intra continental dispersion, transoceanic inter soilborne entrained in agricultural dust aerosols is understudied may contribute spread. This study adapts Community Atmosphere Model, component System global plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum ( F. oxy ). Our sensitivity assesses model’s accuracy long-distance aerosol impact deposition rate simulated Summer 2020 during major event from Northern Sub-Saharan Africa Caribbean southeastern United States (U.S.). We find that decreasing wet dry rates by an order magnitude improves representation long-distance, trans-Atlantic transport. Simulations also suggest small number can survive be deposited zones. dependent source parameterization, which we improved literature search yield map distribution soils. Using this modeling, show how potentially viable numbers atmosphere decrease with distance traveled offer novel danger index modeled work finds intercontinental cropland greatest between Eurasia, North Africa, suggesting future observational should concentrate these regions.

Long distance transport.
A few years ago, I attended a 1-day symposium on long distance transport at a national meeting in a country abroad. Towards the end of the day, as the participants became tired and no general agreement was in sight, one observer from an allied discipline remarked, "Why can't you translocation workers make any progress, you still discuss the same miserable old models that were proposed 40 years ...
متن کاملPopulation Genetics of Soilborne Fungal Plant Pathogens The Population Genetics of Phytophthora
There are more than 60 species in the genus Phytophthora (94), and most are destructive plant pathogens. Extensive efforts are directed at the control of Phytophthora diseases each year, yet they still cause serious crop losses. For example, more than $200 million in lost production annually is attributed to Phytophthora diseases in Australia alone (47). Late blight, caused by P. infestans, pro...

Monoconidial cultures of 15 isolates of Trichoderma harzianum were characterized on the basis of 82 morphological, physiological, and biochemical features and 99 isoenzyme bands from seven enzyme systems. The results were subjected to numerical analysis which revealed four distinct groups. Representative sequences of the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS 1)-ITS 2 region in the ribosomal DNA ge...

The fungi, usually larger than bacteria, are found throughout ...
