چکیده

ABSTRACT Phytophthora capsici isolates were recovered from pepper and cucurbit hosts at seven locations in Michigan from 1998 to 2000. Isolates were characterized for compatibility type (CT), mefenoxam sensitivity (MS), and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) marker profiles. In total, 94 AFLP bands were resolved. Individual populations were highly variable. Within populations, 39 to 49% of the AFLP bands were polymorphic and estimated heterozygosities ranged from 0.16 to 0.19. Of the 646 isolates fingerprinted, 70% (454) had unique AFLP profiles. No clones were recovered between years or locations. Pairwise F statistics (Phi(ST)) between populations from different locations ranged from 0.18 to 0.40. A tree based on unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic average cluster analysis indicates discrete clusters based on location. Isolates from the same location showed no clustering based on the year of sampling. Analysis of molecular variance partitioned variability among (40%) and within populations (60%). The overall estimated Phi(ST) was 0.34 (SD = 0.03). A1/A2 CT ratios were approximately 1:1, and MS frequencies were similar between years for the two locations sampled over time. These data suggest that P. capsici persists in discrete outcrossing populations and that gene flow among locations in Michigan is infrequent.

The Spatiotemporal Genetic Structure of Phytophthora capsici in Michigan and Implications for Disease Management.

Root, crown, and fruit rot caused by Phytophthora capsici Leonian is a limiting factor for the production of peppers, tomatoes, and cucurbit crops in Michigan and the United States. Like many species in the genus Phytophthora, P. capsici has the potential for rapid polycyclic disease development from a limited amount of initial inoculum (6). P. capsici produces caducous sporangia that can be sp...

Spread of Phytophthora capsici in Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) in Vietnam

Black pepper is the one of most important export products in Vietnam. As the largest exporter, Vietnam’s pepper commodities account for 58% of total worldwide exporters. However, Vietnam’s pepper production is dealing with disease problems, especially foot rot/quick death infected by Phytophthora capsici. The disease results in serious and rapid spread and infection in Vietnam, with yearly redu...

Molecular responses of Phytophthora capsici-challenged cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants as influenced by resistance inducer application

Phytophthora species are considered as the major cause of several plant diseases resulting in huge yield losses in agricultural crops. Despite years of effort to develop Phytophthora resistance varieties, there is no reports of a resistant cucumber variety. In this study, the effect of concomitant application of potassium phosphite (KPhi) and chitosan on some physiological and molecular respons...

Genetic diversity of Phytophthora capsici (Pythiaceae) isolates in Anhui Province of China based on ISSR-PCR markers.

Phytophthora capsici is a plant pathogenic oomycete that damages numerous crops worldwide. Consequently, interest in research on the genetic structure of this species has grown in recent decades. However, there is little information about P. capsici in eastern China. We investigated the genetic diversity of P. capsici isolates from three large regions of Anhui Province in eastern China based on...

Genetic diversity of Phytophthora capsici isolates from pepper and pumpkin in Argentina.

Phytophthora capsici is a soilborne oomycete plant pathogen that limits pepper production worldwide. The population structure varies significantly depending on the location (e.g. Peru vs. USA) and little is known about the diversity of P. capsici in Argentina. Our objective was to assess the diversity of P. capsici in Argentina at key pepper production areas. Forty isolates were recovered 2006-...
