Abstract
AbstractHemileia vastatrix, causal agent of coffee leaf rust (CLR), is an aggressive pathogen of coffee plants worldwide. Conventional fungicides play a major role in the suppression of this disease, but a recent shift toward eco-friendly farming practices has occurred and additional novel, effective, and sustainable strategies for CLR control are needed. Naturally occurring fungal antagonists could be well-positioned to meet this demand, but these fungi need to be isolated and tested for efficacy to identify organisms with potential. In this study, a survey of fungi associated with CLR lesions in four districts of Hawai‘i Island, HI, USA (Kona, Ka‘ū, Hāmākua, and Hilo) was conducted. Coffee leaves infected with CLR were collected from 22 locations and over 600 lesions were plated on ½ APDA and CTC 4T media. DNA was extracted from purified isolates and the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) was sequenced and analyzed by BLASTn. In total, 194 isolates comprising 50 taxa were recovered. Several of the genera are known antagonists of CLR or other plant pathogens, including Simplicillium, Akanthomyces, Cladosporium, Fusarium, and Clonostachys. The wide diversity of fungi associated with CLR lesions provide a wealth of possibilities for identifying potential CLR antagonists that could serve as a valuable tool for coffee farmers as part of an integrated pest management plan.
