Microcyclic rusts of hollyhock (Alcea rosea)

Abstract

Rust fungi infecting hollyhock and other plants in Malveae are frequently intercepted at ports of entry to the USA, particularly Puccinia malvacearum and P. heterogenea. These two species can be difficult to distinguish and can be further confused with other, less common species of microcyclic rust fungi infecting hollyhock: P. heterospora, P. lobata, P. platyspora, and P. sherardiana. Molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed that P. malvacearum and P heterogenea are closely related, along with P. sherardiana and P. platyspora. A key to the six microcyclic Puccinia species infecting hollyhock is presented.

Introduction

Plants and plant products imported into the USA are inspected at ports of entry for pests including insects, mollusks, nematodes, bacteria, and fungi (McCullough et al. 2006). Plant pests that are found during inspections may be barred from entering the USA depending on their risk to agriculture and natural ecosystems and whether the pests are already established within the country. Some frequently imported plants include species of Malvoideae, the mallow subfamily that includes economically important plants such as cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus), okra (Abelmoschus esculentus), and many ornamental plants including hollyhock (Alcea rosea) (Baum et al. 2004). Alcea rosea, a plant grown worldwide, is often intercepted at ports of entry infected with rust fungi.

Many rust fungi can infect A. rosea. Six species of Puccinia have been reported to produce telia on A. rosea: P. heterogenea, P. heterospora, P. lobata, P. malvacearum, P. platyspora, and P. sherardiana (Arthur 1922, Lindquist 1982, Farr & Rossman 2015). All of these species are microcyclic and do not produce uredinia or aecia, have no known alternate hosts, and produce both one-celled and two-celled teliospores with different spore morphologies predominating in different species (Arthur 1922, Lindquist 1982). Another two species of Puccinia, P. interveniens and P. schedonnardi, are reported to produce aecia on A. rosea, and A. rosea is also reported to be infected by two other rust fungi, Endophyllum tuberculatum and Kuehneola malvicola (Arthur 1934, Farr & Rossman 2015). Of these fungi, P. malvacearum is the most widely reported (Farr & Rossman 2015) and the most frequently intercepted at US borders. Puccinia malvacearum has been reported worldwide on a large number of hosts in Malvoideae, primarily in tribe Malveae, including the genera Abutilon, Alcea, Anoda, Hibiscus, Lavatera, Malva, Malvastrum, Pavonia, Sida, and Sidalcea (Farr & Rossman 2015). Puccinia heterogenea, although less commonly reported than P. malvacearum, has also been intercepted at US ports of entry multiple times. Puccinia heterogenea has only been reported from Ecuador and Peru on hosts in Alcea, Malva, and Fuertesimalva (Farr & Rossman 2015) but is morphologically similar to P. malvacearum and frequently misidentified.

In this study, P. malvacearum, P. heterogenea, and the other microcyclic rusts on A. rosea, P. heterospora, P. lobata, P. platyspora, and P. sherardiana, were characterized morphologically and the LSU rDNA region was sequenced. These data are presented as a guide to identification of the rusts of A. rosea. In addition, the phylogenetic placement of these six Puccinia species was determined.

Materials and Methods

Specimens for this study were obtained from interceptions at US borders and from reference material, from the years 1890 to 2015. Morphological features of all specimens were characterized, and measurements were made using Zeiss AxioVision SE64 4.9.1 software (Carl Zeiss Microscopy, Jena). A minimum of 20 spores was examined from each specimen, with multiple specimens examined per species. DNA was extracted from small (approximately 0.5–1 cm2) leaf fragments containing telia using the Qiagen DNeasy Plant Mini kit (Gaithersburg, MD). PCRs were done using the KAPA2G Robust PCR kit (Wilmington, MA), following the manufacturer’s suggested protocol. A portion of the LSU rDNA gene was amplified using two overlapping primer sets, LR0R (5′-GTACCCGCTGAACTTAAGC-3′; https://doi.org/sites.biology.duke.edu/fungi/mycolab/primers.htm) and PucLSUr (5′-GCTTACTGCCTTCCTCAATCT-3′; designed by JED in this study), and LR5(5′-ATCCTGAGGGAAACTTC-3′; Vilgalys&Hester 1990) and PucLSUf (5′-TGGGTGTTGGAGAAGGGTTT-3′; designed by JED in this study). Host identifications of reference material were made by the original collector based on morphology and confirmed at the generic level using rDNA ITS2 sequences. Some intercepted plants could not be identified based on morphology due to the small size of the specimens, and identification was then based solely on plant ITS2 sequences. Host ITS2 sequences were amplified with the primers ITS4 (5′-TCCTCCGCTTATTGATATGC-3′; White et al. 1990) and ITS2S2F (5′-ATGCGATACTTGGTGTGAAT-3′; Chen et al. 2010). Amplifications for all primer sets were performed using the conditions 94 °C for 2 min, followed by 36 cycles of 94 °C for 30 s, annealing temperature for 30 s, and 72 °C for 30 s, followed by 10 min at 72 °C, with annealing temperatures of 53 °C for PucLSUf/LR5, 55 °C for ITS4/ITS2S2F, and 58 °C for LR0R/PucLSUr. Sequencing was performed using the BigDye Terminator v. 3.1 cycle sequencing kit (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY), and reactions were run on an Applied Biosystems 3130xl Genetic Analyzer (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY). Sequences were edited with Sequencher v. 5.0 (Gene Codes Corp., Ann Arbor, MI) and aligned with MAFFT v. 7 (Katoh & Standley 2013). Maximum likelihood trees were inferred using RAxML BlackBox (Stamatakis et al. 2008).

Results

Both Puccinia malvacearum and P. heterogenea were commonly intercepted at ports of entry into the USA between 1950 and 2015. Puccinia malvacearum was frequently intercepted on Alcea rosea, but also on Malva arborea, M. multiflora, M. neglecta, M. nicaeensis, and M. sylvestris. Puccinia heterogenea was intercepted less often than P. malvacearum, although still intercepted multiple times, and was primarily found on M. arborea, as well as on A. rosea. Other rust fungi intercepted on A. rosea were P. heterospora, P. lobata, and P. sherardiana.

LSU sequences were generated for 29 specimens of rust fungi on Malveae (GenBank accession nos. KT827287–KT827315). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that P. malvacearum, P. heterogenea, P. sherardiana, and P. platyspora are closely related to each other in one clade (Fig. 1). No other species of rust fungi were identified in that clade, based on LSU sequences available in GenBank. Little intra-specific variation was found among specimens of P. malvacearum and P. heterogenea, while a high degree of intra-specific variation was found within P. heterospora as compared to the other rust fungi infecting A. rosea.

Discussion

Multiple rust fungi can infect plants in Malveae, and plants from this tribe imported into the USA are often intercepted with visible rust disease, generally caused by Puccinia malvacearum and P. heterogenea. Puccinia malvacearum has been reported to have a much wider geographical distribution than P. heterogenea (Farr & Rossman 2015). The exact origin of many of the specimens in this study is, however, uncertain because they were intercepted from luggage and cargo and may have been extensively moved during travel and trade. The reported origins of the intercepted P. malvacearum specimens include Israel, Mexico, The Netherlands, and Portugal, with additional specimens with verified origins from the USA, agreeing with the reported worldwide distribution of P. malvacearum. In contrast, all intercepted P. heterogenea specimens were reported as originating from Ecuador, except for one reported as from Jamaica, which was possibly not its true origin. Puccinia heterogenea has only been previously reported from Ecuador and Peru (Farr & Rossman 2015), and the samples collected in this study suggest that it has not spread further.

Puccinia malvacearum has been intercepted on many species of plants and is reported to have a very large host range in Malvoideae (Farr & Rossman 2015). This study focused on intercepted rust fungi of Malveae, especially Alcea rosea, so a comprehensive survey of other possible hosts of P. malvacearum was not completed. In this limited sampling, P. malvacearum was detected on A. rosea and several Malva species. Puccinia heterogenea is reported on a much smaller host range than P. malvacearum, only A. rosea and various Malva species (Farr & Rossman 2015). In this study, P. heterogenea was mainly detected on plants identified based on ITS sequences as Malva arborea, tree mallow. Tree mallow is considered medicinal (Germplasm Resources Information Network; https://doi.org/www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?455281), so it is more likely to be imported and intercepted than other, less ethnobotanically useful, hosts of P. heterogenea.

The other four microcyclic Puccinia species reported on A. rosea are P. heterospora, P. lobata, P. platyspora, and P. sherardiana. Sequencing a representative sample of each confirmed that they are different from both P. malvacearum and P. heterogenea. These rusts are morphologically similar and may be confused with each other, as well as with other Puccinia species on malvaceous plants such as P. anodae, P. exilis, P. modiolae, P. sidalceae, and P. sphaeralceae. Puccinia heterospora, P. lobata, P. platyspora, and P. sherardiana appear to have wide host ranges like P. malvacearum, as all four were found on hosts not closely related to A. rosea (Escobar Garcia et al. 2009): Sphaeralcea for P. platyspora and P. sherardiana; Malvella for P. lobata; and Abutilon, Anoda, and Sida for P. heterospora — although the high degree of intraspecific variation in P. heterospora raises the possibility that it is composed of cryptic species with smaller, more specific host ranges. As with P. heterogenea, P. heterospora, P. lobata, P. platyspora, and P. sherardiana have a smaller reported geographic distribution than P. malvacearum. P. heterospora has been reported worldwide except for Europe, P. lobata and P. sherardiana have been reported in North and South America, and P. platyspora has been reported only in South America (Farr & Rossman 2015). Although P. platyspora and P. heterogenea have not been reported in the US, and P. lobata and P. sherardiana have only been reported in the western US, their similarity to P. malvacearum suggests that they would not cause more damage than P. malvacearum if spread to new areas and that they could be similarly managed. The study of intercepted fungi can provide useful information about their biology, systematics, and long-distance movement in trade.
