Book excerpt: Discula destructiva, the causal agent of dogwood anthracnose, has caused severe mortality in dogwood over the last 30 years. Although considerable research has been done with dogwood anthracnose, the infection process by D. destructiva is still obscure. A resistant cultivar of Cornus florida, 'Appalachian Spring', was discovered and released by the Tennessee Agricultural Experiment Station. However, the resistance mechanisms are unknown. The objectives of this research were 1) to determine the sequence of events in the infection process of D. destructiva in C. florida and 2) to determine how host resistance affects infection events of D. destructiva on flowering dogwood. At 3 days after inoculation (DAI), majority of conidia germinated and hyphae were observed on the leaf surface. Direct penetration by D. destructiva hyphae was observed without appressorium formation. At 8 DAI, hyphae were aggregated between the cuticle and epidermis and grew intracellularly in epidermal cells, palisade parachyma, and spongy mesophyll cells. At 16 DAI, chloroplasts were intact but decompartmentalized and infection sites were clearly defined. Acervuli were detected at 20 DAI and were fully developed at 24 DAI on adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces. Sporulation (ruptured acervuli) was observed at 20 DAI. This clear understanding of the infection process can be used to look for resistance mechanisms in dogwood germplasm. A resistant line would expect to slow or inhibit one or more infection events. There was no statistical difference between the percentages of germinated conidia on susceptible and resistant cultivars of flowering dogwood one day after inoculation (DAI). However, the resistant cultivar, 'Appalachian Spring', significantly suppressed the growth of D. destructiva conidial germ tubes at 2 DAI, 3 DAI and 4 DAI when compared to conidial germ tubes on leaves of the susceptible cultivar 'Cloud 9'. Observed resistance may be due to smoother wax crystals on adaxial leaf surface and significantly thicker cuticle observed on leaves of 'Appalachian Spring'. An unknown compound, observed highly concentrated in resistant but lower in susceptible cultivars, may be important as a resistance mechanism. These strategies reduced the inoculum potential of D. destructiva and play important roles in why 'Appalachian Spring' is resistant to dogwood anthracnose. These results provide new ways to use conidia germination test and germ tube growth measurement for detecting resistant cultivars.

Book excerpt: Flowering dogwood (Cornus florida L.) is prized as an ornamental and contributes millions of dollars to the economy through tourism and sales each year. Dogwood anthracnose, caused by Discula destructiva Redlin, was observed in the late 1970s on the east and west coasts of the United States and by 1991 had quickly spread throughout much of the native ranges of C. florida and C. nuttalli. The objectives of this study were to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of D. destructiva using simple sequence repeats (SSRs), and to test the cross-transferability of these markers to other Discula species. Fifty SSRs were developed from the sequenced genome of a D. destructiva isolate and used to evaluate 93 fungal isolates from 14 locations collected between 1989 and 2000. The data set was clone corrected (n = 69) and analyzed using polymorphic only (n = 40) and polymorphic and monomorphic SSRs (n = 47). Haploid genetic diversity was very low for both data sets (Hexp = 0.18 and 0.21). Bayesian clustering and distance analyses identified four and five genetic clusters that correspond to two major geographic areas, the eastern United States and the Pacific Northwest, and two time periods when the isolates were collected, Pre-1993 and Post-1993. Linkage disequilibrium was present in all subpopulations, which strongly suggested that the fungus was only reproducing asexually. A population bottleneck was statistically indicated in all populations, and was probably the result of the limited number of founding individuals on both coasts. These results support the hypothesis that D. destructiva is an exotic pathogen with separate introductions on the east and west coasts of North America. The cross-transferability test revealed that genomic DNA from 19 isolates of five other Discula species and two isolates of Melanconis spp. amplified with 17 of 47 primer pairs. These primers may be useful for investigating the genetic diversity and population structure of these Discula species.
