Fusarium virguliforme (= F. solani f. sp. glycines)

• Soilborne, root rotting fungus that colonizes tap root and crown

• Produces a toxin(s)• Foliar symptoms generally start at R2 in field

Rating Foliar Symptoms

• Disease Incidence (DI) - % of plants in the plot showing leaf symptoms.

• Disease Severity (DS) - Severity of diseased plants scored on a 1-9 scale.

• Disease Index (DX) = (DI*DS)/9

DX 25 - 30

Page 13: Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

Impact on Yield• SDS is correlated to the yield potential provided by the

environment• Popular misconception that SDS does not cause yield loss

Yield loss occurs when infection occurs early in a high yielding environment (adequate rainfall), and symptoms are expressed at or near flowering.

Page 14: Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

Impact on Yield

Page 15: Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

EnvironmentSDS severity is increased with:

Early planted fieldsCompacted soilHigh moisture, low soil temperature during vegetative growthCool period during floweringPresence of soybean cyst nematode

Crop rotations – inconsistent

Impact of Planting Date 2009 – SDS Variety Trials

Valmeyer, IL planted 4/24 Havana, IL planted 4/26

Both fields have a history of SDS.

Page 18: Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

Carbondale, IL planted 5/20 Paris, IL planted 5/29

Both fields have a history of SDS, Carbondale was also infested with the pathogen.

Impact of Planting Date 2009 – SDS Variety Trials

Page 19: Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

Chemical Control• Current fungicides do not limit SDS in the

field– Some fungicides impact severity in

greenhouse trials– Herbicides can reduce symptom severity in

the field• Lactofen (X.B. Yang, Iowa State U.)• Experimental products• Generally, short lived reduction

– Induced resistance, affecting toxin movement or expression, ?

Page 20: Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

Chemical Control• Could a product provide short-term

protection to mirror that observed with delayed planting?

- 2010 Seed Care trials with Scott Cully, Syngenta R&D

- Havana and Valmeyer - Fungicide/Nematicide trts.

Pathogen Research•Identification of fungal genes involved in the development of SDS

•Karyotyping (Chromosomal organization)• SDS-SCN interaction

A. Fakhoury, Southern Illinois U.

Page 23: Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

Pathogen Research• Generate REMI mutants

– ~800 mutants have been generated so far– Mutants screened for conidiation and growth pattern

• Generate and collaborate to generate sequence material– Necessary in identifying targets for disruption– Expedite gene disruption– Permits genomic and comparative genomic studies

(complements karyotyping, population studies…)

Page 24: Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

Tools Developed• Optimize transformation system

• Optimize site directed mutagenesis• Optimize transformation system

– A split-maker approach is being tested to disrupt genes– Several genes are being targeted at this point– Snf1, grx, fsr1 and several kinases

A GFP expressing strain of the pathogen was produced

Page 25: Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

Objectives

• Identification of fungal genes involved in the development of SDS

• Identification and characterization of pathways involved in virulence and pathogenesis

• Detection of the karyotypic variation among F. virguliforme isolates

Page 26: Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

Karyotypic Variation Among Isolates

GTBM

• F. virguliforme has 11 chromosomes

• We estimate the size of the genome at ~ 33 Mbp

• Tested isolates exhibited polymorphism (differences) in terms of the sizes of their chromosomes

• This polymorphism may be linked to the varying levels of aggressiveness exhibited by different isolates of the pathogen

Page 27: Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

SDS interactions with SCN• Synergistic –

– Roy et al., 1989- greenhouse– McLean and Lawrence, 1993 - greenhouse– Rupe et al., 1991, field trials– Hershman et al., 1990, field trials– Xing and Westphal, 2006, microplots

• Additive – Gao et al., 2006 - greenhouse

Page 32: Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

Greenhouse trial Soybean cultivars were selected that differed for

resistance to SCN, RKN, or SDS

Each cultivar was challenged with the GFP-expressing virulent Fv transformant, the GFP-expressing avirulent Fv transformant, or several nematode/fungus co-inoculations

The experiment consisted of 36 treatments replicated 5 times

Host Resistance

• Quantitative resistance• Controlled by multiple genes• Difficult to test in the field

Page 37: Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

Host Resistance• Mapped genes from PI 567374 in

greenhouse.– Genes on linkage group D2 and I.

• Mapped genes from Ripley in field with SSR markers using field data.– Genes on linkage group D2 and L.

• Genes have been confirmed and are conducting marker-assisted backcrossing

Evaluating Resistance to SDS• Illinois Soybean Association

– SDS Commercial Variety Trial

– USDA Uniform and Regional Trials

• North Central Soybean Research Program

−NC Regional Trial

Page 39: Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

Success equals ?

A successful trial has a mean DX of at least 15 – 20 in susceptible check varieties.

Page 40: Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

Factors That Insure Success

• Field with history of SDS and/or inoculation when needed

• Early planting

• Irrigation

• Disease evaluation at R6

• Appropriate check varieties

for the maturity group

• A good rating scale

Page 41: Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

SDS Variety TrialsOver 1,800 varieties (includes

Public Lines) MG 1-5

Six locations overall3-4 for each MGOver 16,000 plots

Greenhouse Assays

• Benefits/Limitations• More art than science• Agreement with known field reactions

– Hashmi obtained correlation of .80– Collaborative university trials – Several blind

trial competitions yielded correlations 0 - .59

• Chemical treatments – seed, foliar, in-furrow

• Factors that contribute to severe disease
