Occurrence of Sweetpotato (<i>Ipomoea batatas</i>) Wilt and Surface Rot Disease and Determining Resistance of Selected Varieties to the Pathogen in Korea

Fusarium wilt and Fusarium surface rot caused by <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> Schltdl are the major diseases of sweetpotato (<i>Ipomoea batatas</i>) and was surveyed in different locations (Cheongju, Heanam, Iksan, Icheon, Kimje, Nonsan, Yeoungam, and Yeoju) in Korea from 2015 t...

description Fusarium wilt and Fusarium surface rot caused by <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> Schltdl are the major diseases of sweetpotato (<i>Ipomoea batatas</i>) and was surveyed in different locations (Cheongju, Heanam, Iksan, Icheon, Kimje, Nonsan, Yeoungam, and Yeoju) in Korea from 2015 to 2017 in the field, after harvesting and in storehouse. The wilt incidence in the early stage represented 17.9%, 5.9%, and 8.3% in 2015, 2016, and 2017, respectively. Samples were collected, and the causal organism was isolated on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Ten pure cultures were stored at the Sweetpotato Research Laboratory, Bioenergy Crop Research Institute, Muan, Korea. Morphological analysis, along with molecular phylogeny of the sequences of internal-transcribed spacer (ITS) and elongation factor 1-α (EF-1α) genes and their combined phylogenetic analysis, confirmed the isolates as the <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> Schltdl. Pathogenicity tests were conducted on sweetpotato stems, and storage roots by artificially inoculation methods, and the most virulent isolate was selected as SPL18019. A rapid screening method on 21 selected varieties for resistant variety selection was applied on stems. The Pungwanmi was found resistant to Fusarium wilt, whereas Annobeni was the most susceptible. On the other hand, six varieties were used to test surface rot resistance, and Yulmi and Yesumi were resistant and susceptible, respectively, to Fusarium surface rot.
