comparison of perithecium dimensions of ophiostoma ulmi and o. novo-ulmi, the causal agents of dutch elm disease

Authors
abstract

dutch elm disease is one of the most destructive vascular wilt diseases in the world. ophiosatoma ulmi and o. novo-ulmi had been the most important causal agents of the dutch elm disease in the last century. so, in order to manage of disease, their identification and distinction is necessary. these fungal species were distinguished based on morphological, physiological and molecular characters. perithecium dimensions of fungal isolates such as: neck length, bowl width and their ratio, on the mea, are the most important primer factors for their distinction. in this study, neck length, bowl width and their ratio for isolates of fungal causal were estimated in vitro. in this research, every isolate with two standard isolates of a and b type was cultured on mea supplemented by powder of elm wood and was inoculated in temperature 20°c. the results of estimating perithecium dimensions were showed, the isolates had significant difference, so that isolates of o. novo-ulmi to have higher neck length (290-640 micrometer) and shorter bowl width (70-100 micrometer) than o. ulmi were distinguished. neck length to bowl width ratio for the isolates of o. ulmi and o. novo-ulmi was also calculated 2.76 and 5.87, respectively. the potential using of perithecium dimensions of fungal isolates as one of primer morphological factors to distinguish isolates of the causal agent or agents dutch elm disease in iran was discussed in this paper.

the involvement of cerato-ulmin toxin on pathogenicity and survive of ophiostoma ulmi and o. novo-ulmi fungi, causal agents of dutch elm disease

cerato-ulmin is the most important toxin of fungal causal agents of dutch elm disease and its content is one of the most important factors to distinguish two species ophiostoma ulmi and o. novo-ulmi. with attention to the ophiostoma novo-ulmi is more pathogenicity than o. ulmi, this research was carried out to discuss the role of cerato-ulmin on pathogenicity of causal agent using measurement o...

Functional Annotation of the Ophiostoma novo-ulmi Genome: Insights into the Phytopathogenicity of the Fungal Agent of Dutch Elm Disease

The ascomycete fungus Ophiostoma novo-ulmi is responsible for the pandemic of Dutch elm disease that has been ravaging Europe and North America for 50 years. We proceeded to annotate the genome of the O. novo-ulmi strain H327 that was sequenced in 2012. The 31.784-Mb nuclear genome (50.1% GC) is organized into 8 chromosomes containing a total of 8,640 protein-coding genes that we validated with...

مقایسه ابعاد پریتسیوم دو گونه قارچ عامل بیماری مرگ نارون (Ophiostoma ulmi و O. novo-ulmi)

بیماری مرگ نارون یکی از مخرب‌ترین بیماری‌های پژمردگی آوندی در دنیا می‌باشد. دو قارچ Ophiostoma ulmi و O. novo-ulmi عوامل اصلی بیماری مرگ نارون در یک قرن گذشته بوده‌اند. این دو گونه امروزه براساس یک سری مشخصات مورفولوژیکی، فیزیولوژیکی و مولکولی از هم قابل تفکیک هستند. در این میان ابعاد پریتسیوم جدایه‌های دو گونه مزبور برروی محیط کشت عصاره مالت- آگار از مهم‌ترین عوامل تفکیک این دو گونه محسوب می‌ش...

RNAseq Analysis Highlights Specific Transcriptome Signatures of Yeast and Mycelial Growth Phases in the Dutch Elm Disease Fungus Ophiostoma novo-ulmi.

Fungal dimorphism is a complex trait and our understanding of the ability of fungi to display different growth morphologies is limited to a small number of model species. Here we study a highly aggressive dimorphic fungus, the ascomycete Ophiostoma novo-ulmi, which is a model in plant pathology and the causal agent of Dutch elm disease. The two growth phases that this fungus displays, i.e., a y...
