First report of mixed infection by Pseudomonas syringae pathovars garcae and tabaci on coffee plantations

ABSTRACT

The bacterial-halo-blight (Pseudomonas syringae pv. garcae) is disseminated by the main coffee areas in the producing states of Brazil. On the other hand, the disease bacterial-leaf-spot (Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci) was reported only once in coffee seedlings in a sample collected in the State of São Paulo. In mid-2015, samples of coffee leaves with symptoms of foliar lesions surrounded by yellow halo, were collected in coffee plantations in the State of Paraná and fluorescent bacteria producing or not brown pigment in culture medium were isolated and determined as belonging to the Group I of P. syringae. Through biochemical, serological and pathogenicity tests, the pathogens were identified as P. syringae pv. garcae and P. syringae pv. tabaci, with prevalence of isolates belonging to pathovar tabaci and, as well as in certain samples, it was identified simultaneous infection by both etiological agents. Then, this is the first report of associated occurrence of garcae and tabaci pathovars of P. syringae and of the incidence of “bacterial-leaf-spot” under field conditions and in the State of Paraná.

KEY WORDS
Coffea arabica L.; bacterial-halo-blight; bacterial-leaf-spot

INTRODUCTION

The coffee cultivation, especially the Arabica (Coffea arabica L.), is the main agricultural activities in Brazil, accounting for approximately 2% of Gross Domestic Product. Factors such as long periods of drought and mismanagement of crops, combined with the occurrence of pests and diseases, are the main factors that result in reduction of grain production.

Among the bacterial pathogens, except for Xylella fastidiosa, the causal agent of atrophy of branches of coffee (Paradela Filho et al. 1997Paradela Filho, O., Sugimori, M. H., Ribeiro, I. J. A., Garcia, J. R. A., Beretta, M. J. G., Harakawa, R., Machado, M. A., Laranjeira, F. F., Rodrigues Neto, J. and Beriam, L. O. S. (1997). Constatação de Xylella fastidiosa em cafeeiro no Brasil. Summa Phytopathologica, 23, 46-49.), the other phytobacteria described in the literature (Robbsia andropogonis, Pseudomonas cichorii, P. syringae pv. garcae and P. syringae pv. tabaci) cause leaf spot symptoms (Robbs et al. 1974Robbs, C. F., Kimura, O., Ribeiro, R. L. D. and Oyadomari, L. C. (1974). “Crestamento bacteriano” das folhas: nova enfermidade do cafeeiro (Coffea arabica L.) incitada por Pseudomonas cichorii (Swingle) Stapp. Arquivos da Universidade Federal Rural, 4, 1-5.; Lopes Santos et al. 2017Lopes Santos, L., Castro, D.

).

Although atrophy of branches of coffee disease presents greater distribution, mainly due to transmission of the causative agent by psyllid insects, bacterial-halo-blight, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. garcae (Amaral, Teixeira and Pinheiro 1956Amaral, J. F., Teixeira, C. G. and Pinheiro, E. D. (1956). O bactério causador da mancha-aureolada do cafeeiro. Arquivos do Instituto Biológico, 23, 151-155.), is also important to the culture and is widespread in the states of São Paulo (Amaral et al. 1956Amaral, J. F., Teixeira, C. G. and Pinheiro, E. D. (1956). O bactério causador da mancha-aureolada do cafeeiro. Arquivos do Instituto Biológico, 23, 151-155.), Paraná (Mohan et al. 1978Mohan, S. K., Cardoso, R. M. L. and Paiva, M. A. (1978). Resistência em germoplasma de Coffea ao crestamento bacteriano incitado por Pseudomonas garcae Amaral et al. Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 13, 53-64.) and Minas Gerais (Kimura et al. 1973Kimura, O., Robbs, C. F. and Ribeiro, R. L. D. (1973).

), causing serious damage to coffee plantations, mainly those located in mild climates and those subjected to long periods of high relative humidity (Sera 2001Sera, T. (2001).

Increase in incidence of bacterial halo blight (Pseudomonas syringae pv. garcae), in coffee producing areas in Brazil. Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Coffee Science; San José, Costa Rica.).

Injury symptoms in coffee leaves, similar to bacterial-halo-blight, can be caused by P. cichorii, the causal agent of bacterial-leaf-blight, R. andropogonis (syn. P. andropogonis), the causal agent of bacterial-brown-spot, and P. syringae pv. tabaci, the causal agent of bacterialleaf-spot. It is noted that these 4 bacterial diseases associated with foliar injuries, the pathovars garcae and tabaci of P. syringae, cause very similar symptoms and they are only differentiated by isolations and the resulting cultures subjected to biochemical and/or molecular tests.

In assessing the resistance to bacterial-halo-blight in different field locations in the State of Paraná, Petek et al. (2006)Petek, M. R., Sera, T., Sera, G. H., Fonseca, I. C. B. and Ito, D. S. (2006). Selection of progenies of Coffea arabica with simultaneous resistance to bacterial blight and leaf rust. Bragantia, 65, 65-73. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0006-87052006000100009.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0006-87052006...
observed the occurrence of disease in a coffee-resistant genotype. From these observations, the authors hypothesized the occurrence of a pathogen related to P. syringae pv. garcae in the region, inducing symptoms reminding those caused by the bacterial-halo-blight.

Later in 2015, samples of plants from the State of Paraná, showing symptoms of leaf lesions surrounded by yellow halo, were received for analysis. Preliminary tests revealed the presence of bacterial flow, and the isolations obtained followed by artificial inoculations in coffee confirmed the pathogenicity of the isolated bacteria. Thus, this study aimed to characterize and identify the causal agent of the symptoms observed in those coffee plants sampled in the State of Paraná.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Samples of coffee leaves with symptoms of lesions surrounded by yellow halo collected in fields, between June and July 2015, in the counties of Assaí, Cascavel, Londrina and Mandaguari, Paraná, Brazil, were received and analyzed. Tests to identify the bacteria involved with these symptoms were made in collaboration with the Phytobacteriology Laboratory of the Biological Institute, Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil.

Isolations were made on nutrient agar (NA) culture medium (0.5% peptone, 0.3% meat extract, 0.1% NaCl and 18 g agar.L−1 of distilled H2O and pH 7.0). After 48 h of incubation at 28 °C, morphologically similar colonies to the genus Pseudomonas, i.e., convex colonies, smooth, whitish color and irregular borders, were purified and submitted to hypersensitivity test in tobacco detached leaves (HR) (Klement et al. 1964Klement, Z., Farkas, G. L. and Lovrekovich, L. (1964). Hypersensitive reaction induced by phytopathogenic bacteria in the tobacco leaf. Phytopathology, 54, 474-477.).

For identification of the obtained isolates, morphological, biochemical and serological characteristics were compared with Pseudomonas coffee bacterial strains obtained at the Phytobacteria Culture Collection of the Biological Institute, Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil (Table 1).

  • Serological tests: performed by double diffusion in agar, as described by Beriam et al. (2006)Beriam, L. O. S., Almeida, I. M. G., Destéfano, S. A. L., Grabert, E., Balani, D.

    , and used as antigens in reactions (i) bacterial suspensions in 0.85% NaCl solution, obtained from pure colonies at 48 h growth at 28 °C in NA; (ii) the extracted protein complex of membrane (CPM). The antigens were tested against antiserum kept in the Antiserum Collection of Phytobacteriology Laboratory of the Biological Institute, produced from isolated pathotype strain of P. syringae pv. garcae (IBSBF 248) and also against P. cichorii (IBSBF 587). Two different forms of antiserum were tested: the antiserum prepared against antigens containing whole cells (AS-248-144— P. syringae pv. garcae and AS 1784 — P. cichorii) and antiserum prepared against CPM (AS-248-145—P. syringae pv. garcae and AS 2310 — P. cichorii).

  • Pathogenicity tests: inoculations were performed on leaves from the 3 first internodes of seedlings of C. arabica cv. IAC 125 RN with bacterial suspensions containing 108UFC∙mL−1 by the abrasive method (Rodrigues et al. 2017Rodrigues, L. M. R., Almeida, I. M. G., Patrício, F. R. A., Beriam, L. O. S., Maciel, K.

    http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jph.12543...
    ). The suspensions were obtained from bacterial growth in NA (48 h, 28 °C) with concentrations adjusted using a spectrophotometer absorbance 0.3 (~ 600 nm) (Lelliott et al. 1966Lelliott, R. A., Billing, E. and Hayward, A. C. (1966). A determinative scheme for the fluorescent plant pathogenic Pseudomonads.

    ).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The HR test were positive until 48 h after the infiltration of bacterial suspensions into tobacco leaves, confirming the pathogenic character of these isolates. Positive HR isolates were Gram negative and reproduced symptoms of disease when inoculated on seedlings of C. arabica cv. IAC 125 RN. The inoculations in coffee plants revealed that 1 isolate of P. syringae pv. tabaci as well as the 3 isolates coming from State of Paraná induced symptoms similar to those produced by bacterial-halo-blight caused by P. syringae pv. garcae.

The morphological, physiological and biochemical tests allowed to characterize the isolates, as well as serological reactions (Tables 1, 2, 3, respectively).

In the case of LOPAT tests (Levan, oxidase, proctopectinase activity on potato discs, dihidrolasearginine and HR) (Lelliott et al. 1966Lelliott, R. A., Billing, E. and Hayward, A. C. (1966). A determinative scheme for the fluorescent plant pathogenic Pseudomonads. Journal of Applied Bacteriology, 29, 470-589. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2672.1966.tb03499.x.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2672.19...
), the isolates were included in the Group I of P. syringae (LOPAT + − − − +), which are easily differentiated from P. cichorii (Group III, LOPAT − + − − +). Moreover, the separation of garcae Brazilian strains and tabaci pathovars can be determined by some biochemical tests (e.g., trigoneline, L-tartrate and gelatin hydrolysis) Schaad et al. (2001)Schaad, N. W., Jones, J. B. and Chun, W. (2001). Laboratory guide for identification of plant pathogenic bacteria. 3. ed. St. Paul: APS Press..

Although, by definition, P. syringae pathovars are separated based on pathogenicity of the host range; this characterization is not effective, since some pathovars may have wide host range, as verified in the case of P. syringae pv. tabaci. Therefore, the identification should be performed based on differential characteristics, which are sufficient to prove the classification at the species level and/or pathovar.

For identification/differentiation of P. syringae pathovars pathogenic to coffee, the observation of diffusible fluorescent pigment through NA and KB medium culture was performed as part of the diagnosis (Table 1). Another feature that may assist in the determination of the causative agent is the production of melanin pigment, since, in most cases, the isolates of P. syringae pv. garcae, when cultivated on NA medium, produce this pigment, diffusible and causing browning of the medium (Barta and Willis 2005Barta, T. M. and Willis, D. K. (2005). Biological and molecular evidence that Pseudomonas syringae patovars coronafaciens. striafaciens and garcae are likely the same pathovar. Journal of Phytopathology, 153, 492-499. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1439-0434.2005.01008.x.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1439-0434.20...
), whereas strains of P. syringae pv. tabaci do not produce this pigment, but when grown on KB medium, cause large amount of fluorescent pigment, when observed under UV light. Isolates of P. syringae pv. garcae generally exhibit weak fluorescence on KB medium, when compared to those of P. syringae pv. tabaci.

As part of the biochemical tests (Table 2), especially the use of trigonelline, L-tartrate and gelatin hydrolysis supported the identification of the isolates. Also, according to the literature (Lelliott et al. 1966Lelliott, R. A., Billing, E. and Hayward, A. C. (1966). A determinative scheme for the fluorescent plant pathogenic Pseudomonads. Journal of Applied Bacteriology, 29, 470-589. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2672.1966.tb03499.x.

; Schaad et al. 2001Schaad, N. W., Jones, J. B. and Chun, W. (2001). Laboratory guide for identification of plant pathogenic bacteria. 3. ed. St. Paul: APS Press.), the use of trigonelline, as well as gelatin hydrolysis, may be variable for P. syringae pv. garcae strains; however, our results are in accordance with the morphophysiological characteristics as stated by those authors, allowing the differentiation between these 2 bacterial species.

Antigens of 5 isolates of P. syringae, originating from coffee plantation in the Paraná State, identified at pathovar level through LOPAT (Table 2), were subjected to the serological test double diffusion in agar, using the 2 previously described antiserum (Table 3). Of these isolates, 2 resulted positive for identity with P. syringae pv. garcae (3225, 3241) and 3 resulted negative (3224, 3226 and 3227). The results of the serological reactions have been complemented by biochemical tests (Table 2). Thus, it became clear that plants exhibiting visually similar symptoms to lesions caused by P. syringae pv. garcae were recovered isolates of P. syringae pv. tabaci.

Results of the mentioned tests confirmed the occurrence of bacteria P. syringae pv. tabaci on coffee leaves in 3 locations of Paraná (Cascavel, Londrina and Mandaguari). In samples collected on Cascavel, mixed infections were detected, where P. syringae pathovars garcae and tabaci were present in the same plant.

According to the literature, the occurrence of P. syringae pv. tabaci on coffee was reported in a nursery in Arandu, State of São Paulo, in 2006 (Rodrigues Neto et al. 2006; Destéfano et al. 2010Destéfano, S. A. L., Rodrigues, L. M. R., Beriam, L. O. S., Patrício, F. R. A., Thomaziello, R. A. and Rodrigues Neto, J. (2010). Bacterial leaf spot of coffee caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabac. in Brazil. Plant Pathology, 59, 1162-1163. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-3059.2010.02357.x.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-3059.20...
), and, since then, there are no other reports of this bacteriosis in coffee plantations. Thus, this is the first report of bacterial-leaf-spot occurrence caused by P. syringae pv. tabaci in the Paraná State and in field conditions.

Based on these results, it seems reasonable to assume that the lesions observed by Petek et al. (2006)Petek, M. R., Sera, T., Sera, G. H., Fonseca, I. C. B. and Ito, D. S. (2006). Selection of progenies of Coffea arabica with simultaneous resistance to bacterial blight and leaf rust. Bragantia, 65, 65-73. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0006-87052006000100009.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0006-87052006...
in coffee plants resistant to P. syringae pv. garcae present in experimental field located in Londrina, Paraná, were caused by P. syringae pv. tabaci. At that time, the diagnosis was not confirmed, since isolation and characterization of pathogen(s) involved were not made.

Pathogenicity tests showed high aggressiveness of the obtained P. syringae pv. tabaci strains when compared to pathotype strains of P. syringae pv. garcae (IBSBF 248), both in the young and older leaves, considering the third internode. The aggressiveness of P. syringae pv. tabaci on different leave ages needs to be further investigated, from studies of interaction between susceptible coffee plants and access of diverse nature of the pathogen.

The high incidence of characteristic symptoms in older leaves may suggest the presence of P. syringae pv. tabaci in the plant material, but the occurrence of bacterial-haloblight can not be discarded; thus the characterization of the causative agent should be complemented by biochemical, serological and/or molecular tests.

The identification of bacterial-leaf-spot is important from an epidemiological point of view, since coffee is the only natural host of P syringae pv. garcae (Kimura et al. 1973Kimura, O., Robbs, C. F. and Ribeiro, R. L. D. (1973). Estudos sobre o agente da “Mancha aureolada do cafeeiro” (Pseudomonas garcae Amaral et al.). Arquivos da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, 3, 15-18.), and P. syringae pv. tabaci has a wide host range (Bradbury 1986Bradbury, J. F. (1986). Guide to plant pathogenic bacteria. CAB International, Wallingford UK 332 pp.) and it was detected on more than 17 natural hosts of many botanical families in Brazil (Malavolta Júnior et al. 2008).

The pathovar tabaci, originally described as affecting Nicotiana tabacum L., is associated with a large number of host plants, and it is possible that some of these plants can act as a source of primary inoculum for coffee. Some of P. syringae pv. tabaci hosts are usually planted in consortium with coffee, like beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), soybean (Glycine max L.), tobacco (N. tabacum) and papaya (Carica papaya L.), being also described in the climbers weed plants called morning glory (Ipomoea acuminata L., I. aristolochiaefolia and I. cynanchifolia). These factors, combined with the lack of a correct diagnosis, indicate that the bacterial-leaf-spot may be more widely disseminated and, by the similarity of symptoms mainly caused by P. syringae pv. garcae, undetected or incorrectly identified.

In addition, it is necessary to highlight the occurrence of mixed infections, caused by both pathovars in the same plant, with characteristic symptoms of bacterial-halo-blight.

Work related to the control and management of the coffee bacterial diseases, as well as breeding programs, must always take into consideration the occurrence of bacterialleaf-spot caused by P. syringae pv. tabaci, especially for their epidemiological characteristic, i.e., to introduce numerous host plants of diverse plant families. Since breeding programs of coffee conducted to date have evaluated the resistance only to bacterial-halo-blight, it is essential that these programs aim also to assess the simultaneous resistance to both pathovars.

CONCLUSION

This is the first report of the occurrence of bacterialleaf-spot, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci in the Paraná State, as well as of mixed infections caused by P. syringae pathovars garcae and tabaci on coffee.

The bacterial strains obtained are preserved in the Phytobacteria Culture Collection of the Biological Institute, Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil (IBSBF) under the numbers 3224 (P. syringae pv. tabaci, Cascavel, Paraná), 3225 (P. syringae pv. garcae, Cascavel, Paraná), 3226 (P. syringae pv. tabaci, Mandaguari, Paraná), 3227 (P. syringae pv. tabaci, Londrina, Paraná) and 3241 (P. syringae pv. garcae, Assaí, Paraná).
