Morpho-Cultural and Pathogenic Variability of <i>Sclerotinia sclerotiorum</i> Causing White Mold of Common Beans in Temperate Climate

The present systematic research on cultural, morphological, and pathogenic variability was carried out on eighty isolates of <i>Sclerotinia sclerotiorum</i> collected from major common bean production belts of North Kashmir. The isolates were found to vary in both cultural and morphologi...

description The present systematic research on cultural, morphological, and pathogenic variability was carried out on eighty isolates of <i>Sclerotinia sclerotiorum</i> collected from major common bean production belts of North Kashmir. The isolates were found to vary in both cultural and morphological characteristics such as colony color and type, colony diameter, number of days for sclerotia initiation, sclerotia number per plate, sclerotial weight, and size. The colony color ranged between white and off-white with the majority. The colony was of three types, in majority smooth, some fluffy, and a few fluffy-at-center-only. Colony diameter ranged between 15.33 mm and 29 mm after 24 h of incubation. The isolates took 4 to 7 days for initiation of sclerotia and varied in size, weight, and number per plate ranging between 14 and 51.3. The sclerotial arrangement pattern on plates was peripheral, sub peripheral, peripheral, and subperipheral, arranged at the rim and scattered. A total of 22 Mycelial compatibility groups (MCGs) were formed with seven groups constituted by a single isolate. The isolates within MCGs were mostly at par with each other. The six isolates representing six MCGs showed variability in pathogenicity with isolate G04 as the most and B01 as the least virulent. The colony diameter and disease scores were positively correlated. Sclerotia were observed to germinate both myceliogenically and carpogenically under natural temperate conditions of Kashmir. Germplasm screening revealed a single resistant line and eleven partially resistant lines against most virulent isolates.
