Abstract
AbstractLuobuma (Apocynum venetum, Poacynum pictum, and P. hendersonni) are perennial herbs widely used in the textile and medical industries and ecological restoration. In the summer of 2020, reddish-brown or off-white sunken shape necrotic lesions were observed on the stems and shoots of seven Luobuma ecotypes grown in the field in Yuzhong County, Gansu province of China, which is a limiting factor that affects the growth, function and application of Luobuma. To make clear whether the new symptoms were caused by a novel pathogen, a combined research in field and greenhouse was conducted. Based on the morphological and molecular analysis results, the pathogen causing the necrotic lesions was identified as Boeremia exigua var. rhapontica. The incidence and disease index of the seven ecotypes in the field ranged from 11.49 to 33.68% and 6.63 to 23.01, respectively, from 2020 to 2021. The results showed that the disease severity gradually increased with the growing season. According to the pathogenicity analysis of the eight ecotypes in the greenhouse, the ecotypes Pp-BMK and Pp-BMH were susceptible, while ecotype Pp-BMQ was resistant to Boeremia exigua var. rhapontica infection. Thus, the present study provides a theoretical basis for preventing and controlling the stem and leaf necrotic lesions disease on Luobuma by planting resistant varieties/ecotypes. To our knowledge, this is the first report of stem necrotic lesions and leaf spots on Luobuma caused by B. exigua var. rhapontica.
