ASM journals are the most prominent publications in the field, delivering up-to-date and authoritative coverage of both basic and clinical microbiology. This indicates that guttation fluid itself does not inhibit the pathogen; instead, biotic factors are involved in the inhibition. The experiment consisted of the following four treatments (10 plants per treatment, one leaf per plant): leaves that were treated with bacteria and wounded (by notching at four sites around the leaf margin); leaves that were not treated but were wounded; leaves that were treated with bacteria and not wounded; and leaves that were not treated and not wounded. The two other strains were identified as nonfluorescent pseudomonads. The average sizes of the populations of all bacteria in nonfiltered guttation fluids were not significantly different among the cultivars (Fig. Hot water and hot air treatments were evaluated for disinfesting anthurium, Anthurium andraeanum Lind., stem cuttings of the bacterial blight pathogen, Xanthomonas axonopodis pathovar dieffenbachiae (Xa pv. These two values were not significantly different from the initial size of the population of Xcd-lux, as judged by the LSD value (0.95 log CFU/ml) for this experiment. We attempted to study the antibacterial activity of rhizospheric Bacillus spp., to curb the bacterial blight of anthurium caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. Survival of Xcd-lux in guttation fluids of anthurium plants and isolation of inhibitory bacterial strains.Guttation fluids were collected from cultivar ARCS, Marian Seefurth, and UH1060 plants (eight plants per cultivar). This research project was conducted in conjunction with the 1995 National Science Foundation Young Scholars Pacific Region Program. The inhibitory effects of mixture C (containing five other strains obtained from cultivar Marian Seefurth) and mixture F (containing five strains obtained from cultivars Ellison Onizuka and Nitta) were similar to the inhibitory effects of mixture A. Thus, it may be possible to improve the efficacy of a mixture by identifying the trivial strains in the mixture and replacing them with beneficial species. After the treated leaves were dried at room temperature, all of the plants were spray inoculated with a suspension of Xcd-lux cells (concentration, ∼106 CFU/ml) as described previously (5). In July 2007, symptoms of bacterial blight were observed on leaves of anthurium plants growing in a commercial greenhouse in central Poland. Extensive online help - available wherever you are in CAB Direct. After 7 or 14 days of incubation, the average size of the population of Xcd-lux in nonfiltered guttation fluids from cultivar Marian Seefurth was significantly smaller than the average size of the population of Xcd-lux in nonfiltered guttation fluids from cultivar ARCS, Kalapana, or Tropic Mist. Physiological events induced by the host defense mechanisms did not explain the observations made with anthuriums, since spontaneous disease suppression occurred in highly susceptible cultivars as well as resistant cultivars and the suppression was not accompanied by rapid necrotic reactions, which are typical of hypersensitive responses. dieffenbachiae (Xad). Cultivars were considered as blocks, and the results were expressed as means for four replicates. Solutions containing 10 mM CaCl2, 10 mM MgCl2, and 10 mM EDTA (ferric sodium salt) (Fe-EDTA) were filter sterilized, and 15 μl of each solution was added to 1.455 ml of filter-sterilized guttation fluid from cultivar Marian Seefurth (four replicates per treatment). The bags were removed from the leaves early in the morning on the following day, and guttation fluids were collected individually. Effects of guttation bacteria on the ability of Xcd-lux to infect anthurium leaves. The plants were kept wet for 4 h by sealing the bags. The average values calculated from the data collected by the three examiners (percentage data) were transformed by the arcsine transformation and then analyzed by analysis of variance. Inhibition of growth was not observed in filter-sterilized guttation fluids and was restored to original levels only by reintroducing specific mixtures of bacteria into filter-sterilized guttation fluids. An outbreak of bacterial blight in the 1980s had a severe impact on Hawaii’s local anthurium industry (21, 22). This phenomenon was observed more frequently with some cultivars (e.g., cultivars ARCS and UH1060) than with others. The missing datum point was estimated by using a general linear model. Two milliliters of filter-sterilized guttation fluid collected from cultivar Marian Seefurth plants was inoculated with a cell suspension of each bacterial strain or a mixture of the five strains (two replicates per strain) and incubated at 28°C as described above. These results may indicate that the guttation bacteria did not interfere with the pathogen efficiently on the leaf surface. It was confirmed in this and previous studies that treatment-examiner interactions were not significant when disease severity data were assessed by three examiners (data not shown). Anthurium plants (height, 30 to 40 cm) were transplanted into black cinder in pots (10 by 10 cm) and were fertilized with pellets of Nutricote (13-13-13 plus microelements in a 70-day release formulation; Chisso Asahi Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) at a rate of about 0.6 to 0.7 g per pot. dieffenbachiae has provided valuable information on the infection process in bacterial blight, especially during the latent systemic phase of infection (4). Effects of organic and mineral nutrients on inhibition of Xcd-lux by guttation bacteria. Survival of Xcd-lux in guttation fluids was determined by inoculating 15-μl portions of a cell suspension (adjusted to a density of ∼2.0 × 108 CFU/ml) into the tubes containing filter-sterilized or nonfiltered guttation fluids (four replicates each). Two transgenic lines of anthurium 'Paradise Pink', engineered to produce the cecropinlike Shiva 1 lytic peptide, were able to significantly resist anthurium blight caused by … More studies on the effects of carbon and nitrogen sources on disease suppression by guttation bacteria should provide key information which can be used for biological control of anthurium blight with mixtures of bacterial species. 1985. Individual guttation fluids typically contained five to eight predominant bacterial species, as judged by colony types and morphology observed on TZC medium. BCAs, biocontrol agents (five guttation bacteria). The size of the initial population of Xcd-lux was determined by using four additional tubes containing guttation fluids from cultivar Marian Seefurth. The pathogen, X. campestris pv. Statistical analysis.The data from the in vitro tests performed to determine the inhibition of Xcd-lux growth in the guttation fluids (and the data for the total bacterial population) were analyzed by analysis of variance. Survival of Xcd-lux in filter-sterilized and nonsterile guttation fluids from various anthurium cultivars.Guttation fluids were collected from cultivar Alii, ARCS, Ellison Onizuka, Kalapana, Marian Seefurth, Nitta, Tropic Mist, and UH1060 plants (four plants per cultivar). Cells of the guttation bacteria were stored in 25% glycerol in distilled water at −80°C until they were used. Like most websites we use cookies. Plant materials and growth conditions.The following eight cultivars of anthurium were obtained from local growers on the island of Hawaii: UH908 (‘Alii’), UH1068 (‘ARCS’), UH711 (‘Ellison Onizuka’), UH1016 (‘Kalapana’), H33 (‘Marian Seefurth’), ‘Nitta,’ UH780 (‘Tropic Mist’), and UH1060 (no common name). When the strain mixture was applied directly to wounds created on the leaf margins, the pathogen failed to invade through the wounds. Bacterial blight of anthurium. The populations of the individual strains remained near the initial inoculum levels for at least 14 days. NOTE: We request your email address only to inform the recipient that it was you who recommended this article, and that it is not junk mail. In bacterium-treated leaves, in contrast, there was no evidence that infections advanced from the wound sites, but infection through hydathodes at the leaf margins was evident (Fig. None of the mineral nutrients had the same effects as the organic nutrients on the survival of Xcd-lux and the number of total bacteria (Fig. However, when the guttation bacteria were applied to intact (nonnotched) leaves, they were less effective in disease suppression than the guttation bacteria that were applied to notched leaves. Therefore, we examined the role(s) of indigenous bacterial communities on suppression of leaf infection by the anthurium bacterial blight pathogen, X. campestris pv. dieffenbachiae. Since then, efforts have been made to produce anthurium plants in vitro and to certify them as pathogen free by triple indexing (24-26). This is mainly due to the fact that the most important cultural control for foliar bacterial diseases is elimination of overhead watering and exposure to rainfall. As judged by the sizes of the populations of Xcd-lux determined 8 days after inoculation, the inhibitory effect of mixture A (consisting of GUT3, GUT4, GUT5, GUT6, and GUT9) was significantly greater (P = 0.01) than the inhibitory effects of mixtures B, D, and E (Fig. Research units Plant Communities and Biological Invaders in Tropical Environments. (B) Second test with nonwounded leaves.

Survival of Xcd-lux in guttation fluids of anthurium plants and isolation of inhibitory bacterial strains. The results of two repeated experiments indicated that nonfiltered guttation fluids from cultivar Marian Seefurth were more inhibitory than nonfiltered guttation fluids from cultivar ARCS, Kalapana, or Tropic Mist. A similar test was conducted to monitor the densities of individual guttation bacteria. Biostimulation was observed on all anthurium cultivars treated with the beneficial strains. 4). Do not add … Survival of Xcd-lux in guttation fluids from various anthurium cultivars (first trial). Disease incidence was approximately 10% at the time of inspection. Survival of Xcd-lux in guttation fluids of anthurium plants. Values marked by asterisks were significantly different (P = 0.01) from the corresponding values for Xcd-lux inoculated alone, as determined by the SNK test. Bacillus subtilis is a common seed inoculant, both to protect against disease and to help improve the breaking-down of insoluble phosphorous in the soil. dieffenbachiae, cannot survive as a free living organism like those in plant debris and in clean pot surfaces. dieffenbachiae [27]) was used in this study (4); this strain is referred to below as strain Xcd-lux. Microorganisms indigenous to a guttation fluid may play a significant role in determining the fate of a pathogen before it becomes successfully established in hydathodes. The nonwounded plants were treated in the same way, as described above. The white background illumination is bioluminescence from Xcd-lux recorded on X-ray film. Various biological factors may have affected bacterial strains on the leaf surface; these factors include survival, mobility, and subsequent colonization of the hydathodes. Anthurium and Onion bacterial blight; Back to the list. Growth and survival of Xanthomonas campestris pv. Getting foliage wet during watering is a major contributor to leaf blight. (A preliminary report of the results has been published previously [3].). Guttation fluids were then inoculated with 15-μl portions of the Xcd-lux cell suspension and incubated as described above. Pruning infected plant material is the first step in controlling the disease. Studies were focused on improving the efficacy of the BCAs with carbon sources that sustain beneficial bacterial populations on plant surfaces without stimulating pathogen growth. Spraying guttation bacteria onto intact leaves reduced the disease severity index to approximately two-thirds the value obtained for nontreated leaves by day 41 (Fig. Cultivar Marian Seefurth is highly susceptible to foliar infection, and the other three cultivars are resistant (5). Equal volumes of the five cell suspensions were mixed, and the mixture was sprayed onto the foliage of 20 plants until runoff occurred. Below these five bacterial strains are referred to guttation bacteria. 1B through F). The initial population of total bacteria in each guttation fluid was determined by dilution plate counting on TZC medium containing 100 μg of cycloheximide per ml. This is to ensure that we give you the best experience possible. In the first trial, infection occurred at 39 of 40 notched sites in the nontreated leaves but at only three sites in the treated leaves. Under relatively controlled temperatures … Guttation fluids were collected from leaves that produced more than 500 μl overnight (six, six, and two cultivar ARCS, Marian Seefurth, and UH1060 samples, respectively), and 500 μl of each fluid was placed in a sterile test tube (100 by 13 mm) and used to determine the effect of the fluid on the growth of Xcd-lux. The remaining plants in each treatment group were neither wounded by notching nor inoculated with the bacterial mixture. Effects of guttation bacteria on suppression of foliar infection by Xcd-lux. It is, however, impossible to treat the disease. Generally, using cultural controls is not as effective for bacterial leaf spot diseases as for some other diseases like Botrytis blight and downy mildew. In nonfiltered guttation fluids, in contrast, the sizes of the Xcd-lux populations declined to different levels depending on the cultivar. Effects of guttation bacteria on survival of Xcd-lux in the filter-sterilized guttation fluid.The size of the Xcd-lux population in the filter-sterilized guttation fluids remained close to the initial population size in the absence of guttation bacteria (Fig.1A). Then, 15 μl of an Xcd-lux cell suspension and 15 μl of a mixture of cells of the five guttation bacteria were added to the guttation fluid in order to examine the effects of the three organic nutrients (final concentration of each nutrient, 0.1%) on inhibition of Xcd-lux by the guttation bacteria. phaseoli), pseudomonads (Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas syringaepv. Survival of Xcd-lux in guttation fluids from various anthurium cultivars (second trial). The sizes of the populations of individual strains were determined separately. BACTERIAL DISEASES OF ANTHURIUM, DIEFFENBACHIA, PHILODENDRON, AND SYNGONIUM Species of Anthurium, Dieffenbachia, Philodendron, and Syngonium are popular foliage plants cultivated in interiorscapes of homes, offices, and malls throughout the world. Effects of inoculation of five guttation bacteria onto leaves on the progression of foliar infection by Xcd-lux. The next day, the plants were arranged in a complete randomized design in the glasshouse. Heat treatment by water, air or vapor has been effectively used for many years to disinfest propagative plant … Data points represent the means of two replicates. Alternative methods of disease control are needed to ensure protection of the crop from future disease outbreaks. It’s an inexpensive way of using the drip irrigation technique in your house plants. The bars represent the means of four replicates. University of Maryland, Beltsville p 25 Google Scholar. Filtration also removes other microorganisms, such as fungi, algae, and protozoans, from guttation fluids. After 2 weeks, all of the guttation fluid samples were individually filter sterilized, and 1.5 ml of each filtered sample was inoculated with 15 μl of a suspension of Xcd-lux cells. This indicated that there would be no bacterial blight re-infection even if old pots were used immediately even without … For comparison, two tubes containing filtered guttation fluid which had not been inoculated previously with any bacteria were incubated with Xcd-lux. Anthurium. dieffenbachiae which also causes leaf spot and blight diseases of many other aroids. Bacterial Blight of Anthurium: Authors: Nishijima, Wayne T. Fujiyama, Darryl K. Keywords: Anthurium anthuriums Hawaii Xanthomonas campestris pv. The estimated size of the initial inoculum of Xcd-lux was 6.41 ± 0.09 log CFU/ml (mean of eight observations). The tubes were incubated at 28°C as described above. When Xcd-lux was coinoculated with the mixture of five guttation bacteria, the size of the Xcd-lux population declined progressively during incubation; the sizes of the populations of Xcd-lux coinoculated with the bacterial mixture 3, 7, and 10 days after inoculation were significantly different (P = 0.01) from the sizes of the corresponding populations when Xcd-lux was inoculated alone (Fig.1A and G). To this preparation we added 15 μl of the GUT3, GUT4, GUT5, GUT6, or GUT9 cell suspension or 15 μl of a mixture containing equal volumes of the cell suspensions of the five strains. Data points represent means of four replicates. For comparison, 15-μl portions of the suspension were inoculated into equivalent amounts of sterile distilled water and phosphate buffer (two tubes each). In the plant inoculation tests, the severity of disease was assessed by three examiners. When the five guttation bacteria were applied as a mixture to the leaves, they significantly reduced foliar infection and were especially effective in preventing invasion of the pathogen through wounds. Symbols: ●, Xcd-lux; ○, GUT3; ▵, GUT4; ×, GUT5; □, GUT6; ▴, GUT9. Anthurium. Find out more about this exciting new development, Using our new visualization tools you can, Using our new highlighting and annotation tool you can, remove selected records that are not saved in My CABI, sign you out of your The estimated size of the initial inoculum of Xcd-lux was 6.69 ± 0.08 log CFU/ml (mean of seven observations). This research was supported by the U. S. Department of Agriculture Special Grants Program for Tropical and Subtropical Agricultural Research (agreement no. All of the plants were later inoculated with Xcd-lux. Survival of Xcd-lux in guttation fluids of anthurium plants.Populations of Xcd-lux in nonsterilized guttation fluids collected from individual anthurium leaves declined at various rates during incubation for 7 days. This article provides guidelines to identify and treat diseases that may be encountered during commercial greenhouse production of Anthurium. The first is changing how they are watered. One hundred microliters of each filtered sample was removed from one replicate tube for each of eight cultivars within 20 min after inoculation and used to estimate the initial Xcd-lux population size by dilution plate counting. After 0, 3, 7, and 10 days of incubation, a 100-μl subsample was removed from each tube, and the cell densities of Xcd-lux and all guttation bacteria were determined by dilution plate counting on PGM containing 50 μg of rifampin per ml, 10 μg of tetracycline per ml, and 100 μg of cycloheximide per ml and TZC medium containing 100 μg of cycloheximide per ml, respectively. Bacterial blight of anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum Lind. and Ochrobactrum sp. Effects of mineral nutrients (concentration, 100 μM) added to guttation fluid on the inhibition of Xcd-lux by guttation bacteria. For all cultivars, the sizes of the populations of Xcd-lux determined 7 and 15 days after inoculation were significantly smaller (P = 0.01) in the nonfiltered guttation fluids than in the filter-sterilized guttation fluids (Fig.4). Negative images of bioluminescence emission from infected leaves were scanned with a computer and converted to positive images by using Adobe Photoshop (Adobe Systems Inc., Mountain View, Calif.). Twelve plants were wounded by notching the two youngest leaves on each plant, and 12 plants were not wounded. 3). Effects of some organic and mineral nutrients on inhibition of Xcd-lux by guttation bacteria. Bacterial blight of anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum Lind. The bars represent the means of four replicates. Images for nonwounded leaves are not shown. Effects of some organic and mineral nutrients on inhibition of Xcd-lux by guttation bacteria.Sterilized 10%d-glucose, 10% peptone, and 10% yeast extract solutions were prepared by autoclaving, and 15 μl of each solution was added to 1.455 ml of filter-sterilized guttation fluid from cultivar Marian Seefurth in a test tube (four replicates per treatment). Contact. The sizes of populations of Xcd-lux in sterile distilled water and phosphate buffer 14 days after inoculation were 6.01 and 5.70 log CFU/ml, respectively. syringae), and Erwinia herbicola inhibited Xcd-lux in anthurium guttation fluid (4a). This cultivar is known to be highly susceptible to bacterial blight (5). means you agree to our use of cookies. We thank R. A. Criley, A. R. Kuehnle, and W. T. Nishijima for critically reading the manuscript. When guttation fluids were filter sterilized, the sizes of the populations of the pathogen were not significantly reduced for at least 14 days. Resident bacterial communities in the guttation fluids of various anthurium cultivars were highly inhibitory to the anthurium blight pathogen, X. campestris pv. In both trials, the disease severity index was reduced by more than 50% after guttation bacteria were applied to the wound site, and the difference was significant at all assessment times (Fig. campestris pv. Mixture A consisted of the five guttation bacteria (GUT3, GUT4, GUT5, GUT6, and GUT9). However, susceptible cultivars are also in high demand because of their desirable flower shapes and colors. Bacterial phloem chanker, a new disease of Persian walnut trees. We concluded that other host-related factors or biological agents were responsible for the occasional suppression of disease in certain cultivars. A recent report that bacterial blight occurs in The Netherlands and that the pathogen was isolated from propagative materials en route from The Netherlands to India (19) indicates that the disease is not restricted to tropical and subtropical regions. The tubes were incubated as described above. The five guttation bacteria found in this study appear to be common bacterial species indigenous to anthurium leaves. Honolulu (HI): University of Hawaii. In this study, guttation fluids were collected from leaves that had not previously been infected by the pathogen. All of the procedures used were identical to the procedures described above, except that the survival of Xcd-lux in guttation fluids was determined 7 and 15 days after inoculation and additional strains of indigenous bacteria were not isolated. The bars represent the means of 10 or 12 observations. Bars = 5 cm. The estimated size of the initial inoculum of Xcd-lux was 6.72 ± 0.08 log CFU/ml (mean of five observations). The remaining portions of the samples were stored at 5°C and used for isolation of bacteria at the end of the experiment. Disease incidence was approximately 10% at the time of inspection. Once introduced into a new growing area, bacterial blight may result in 50 to 100% loss of plants. Effects of guttation bacteria on survival of Xcd-lux in the filter-sterilized guttation fluid. Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. Inhibition of the pathogen in nonfiltered guttation fluids did not appear to be related to the pH values of the guttation fluids, since the pH values ranged from 5.5 to 7.5 during the 2-week incubation period. The proposed research isdesigned to bring all components of an integrated pest management program together. The severity of leaf infection was determined by autophotography of the infected leaves in which X-ray film was used to record the bioluminescence of Xcd-lux, and the percentages of infected leaf area were used as disease severity indices as described previously (5). Mixture A consisted of strains GUT3, GUT4, GUT5, GUT6, and GUT9; mixtures B, C, and D each consisted of five strains that were isolated from guttation fluids obtained from cultivars Alii, Marian Seefurth, and UH1060, respectively; mixture E consisted of four strains that were isolated from a different guttation fluid obtained from cultivar Marian Seefurth; and mixture F consisted of two strains isolated from guttation fluids obtained from cultivar Ellison Onizuka and three strains isolated from guttation fluids obtained from cultivar Nitta. Addition of glucose, peptone, or yeast extract (each at a concentration of 0.1%) to the guttation fluids reversed the inhibition, suggesting that competition for organic nutrients is involved in the inhibition observed in the guttation fluids. The severity of disease was assessed three times (19, 32, and 44 days after inoculation) for nonwounded plants and three times (19, 27, and 38 days after inoculation) for wounded plants. However, antibiotics cannot be ruled out completely as the cause of inhibition because they may have bound to the filter or may have been inactivated during sterilization. Siderophores are not involved in the inhibition of Xcd-lux, because addition of 100 μM Fe-EDTA to the guttation fluid did not reverse the inhibition. The density of Xcd-lux cells in the guttation fluid that had not been inoculated with any bacteria was 7.10 ± 0.02 log CFU/ml after 7 days of incubation. The cell density of Xcd-lux was determined by dilution plate counting on PGM supplemented with 50 μg of rifampin per ml, 10 μg of tetracycline per ml, and 100 μg of cycloheximide per ml. 6). The youngest leaf of each plant was disinfested by spraying 70% ethanol onto the upper and lower surfaces and wiping the surfaces with Kimwipe tissue soaked with 70% ethanol. Growth and survival of Xcd-lux in guttation fluids from various anthurium cultivars. Mixture E consisted of four strains isolated from a different guttation fluid sample from Marian Seefurth. Cell suspensions of guttation bacteria and Xcd-lux were prepared in sterile 10 mM phosphate buffer and adjusted to concentrations of ∼2.0 × 108CFU/ml. If you would like to, you can learn more about the cookies we use. Bacterial treatment is also proving to be beneficial, especially with Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. As a control, a cell suspension of Xcd-lux (15 μl) was inoculated into filter-sterilized guttation fluid and 15 μl of sterile phosphate buffer was added to replace the cell suspension containing the guttation bacteria. Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews. For example, no infections occurred in one or two plants (replicates) even though the rest of the plants examined were severely infected (severity of leaf infection reaching 100% toward the end of disease assessment).

Bars marked by the same letter were not significantly different (P = 0.01), as determined by the SNK test. Once a plant is infected with bacterial blight, it’s possible to salvage healthy portions and keep it alive. There are few publications that report biocontrol studies on the ability of antagonistic bacteria strains to inhibit the pathogens of anthurium blight. CAB Direct is the most thorough and extensive source of reference in the applied life sciences, Twenty nontreated plants were sprayed with sterile distilled water. The bars represent the means of four replicates. Progression of foliar infection by Xcd-lux in bacterium-treated and nontreated anthurium leaves, as monitored by bioluminescence. Then 15 μl of an Xcd-lux cell suspension and 15 μl of a cell suspension containing the guttation bacteria were inoculated into the guttation fluid in order to determine the survival of Xcd-lux in the guttation fluid in the presence of each mineral nutrient (final concentration, 100 μM).
