摘要: Watermelon is an economically important crop in China and is commonly affected by Alternaria-like leaf blight that can result in significant economic losses. In this study, 830 Alternaria isolates, recovered from symptomatic watermelon leaves, were identified based on morphological traits, pathogenicity, and multilocus sequence analyses of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), histone 3 (HIS3), the internal transcribed spacer of ribosomal DNA (rDNA ITS), and the RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2). Watermelon isolates grouped to five Alternaria species and one unclassified Alternaria species. They were A. tenuissima, A. alternata, A. cucumerina, A. infectoria, A. gaisen, and Alternaria sp. Notably, A. tenuissima was the most prevalent (73.5%) of the six isolated species, followed by A. alternata (25.0%), A. cucumerina (1.1%), Alternaria sp. (0.2%), A. infectoria (0.1%), and A. gaisen (0.1%). Pathogenicity tests demonstrated that all six Alternaria species could produce brown necrotic lesions on detached leaves of watermelon. The average disease incidence (75.1%) and average disease index (60.8) of watermelon resulting from inoculation of leaves with A. cucumerina were significantly higher than levels resulting from A. alternata (52.9% and 37.2) and A. tenuissima (47.5% and 30.8). Inoculation with Alternaria sp. resulted in a disease incidence (70.0%) and disease index (51.5), which were lower than those of A. cucumerina. The disease incidence and disease index in watermelon leaves inoculated with the one isolate of A. infectoria and the one isolate of A. gaisen present in the inoculated leaves were 28.9% and 16.4, and 48.9% and 31.4, respectively. Results of the study indicate that Alternaria species associated with watermelon leaf blight in China are more diverse than that has been previously reported. This is the first report globally of A. infectoria, A. gaisen, and an unclassified Alternaria species as causal agents of leaf blight on watermelon.
