Resumen

HERNANDEZ, Facundo E. et al. Caracterización morfológica y molecular de una colección de aislamientos de Phomopsis longicolla(teleomorfo desconocido: Diaporthales)de la región templada y subtropical de Argentina. Rev. biol. trop [online]. 2015, vol.63, n.3, pp.871-884. ISSN 0034-7744.

Diaporthe(teleomorpho)-Phomopsis (anamorph) (DP) is a fungal group of great genetic diversity with over 900 species associated to a wide host range that includes cultivated and uncultivated species, forest, fruit trees and weeds. DP isolates are hemi-biotrophs and have different sources of primary inoculum as stubble and seeds to restart cycles of parasitism -saprophytism. They colonize host tissues from early plant stages and establish different nutritional relationships, acting as endophytic and necrotrophic fungi. The plasticity of the Phomopsisgenus has favored its expansion to different agro-ecosystems and various hosts constituting an epidemiological risk. The objective was to validate the identity and evaluate the biological relationships among 12 isolates of P. longicollaand D. phaseolorumvar. sojae(anamorph P. phaseolivar. sojae)obtained in different tempered and subtropical agro-environments of Argentina, in order to analyze the variability and strategies for preserving fungal biodiversity. Macro-morphological attributes (such as texture and color of colonies, stroma shape and distribution, pycnidia and perythecia shape and distribution) and micro-morphological characteristics (such as size and shape of conidia, asci and ascospores) allowed identifying three new isolates as P. longicolla.A complementary molecular analysis was also made to overcome the limitations derived from the morphological analysis, thus the AFP.8413 isolate was finally identified as P. longicolla.The molecular characterization was useful to identify the evaluated isolates and to group them in four taxa of the Diaporthe-Phomopsiscomplex: ten isolates were included in P. longicolla,one isolate was included in D. phaseolorumvar. sojae(anamorph P. phaseolivar. sojae),one isolate was identified as D. phaseolorumvar. caulivoraand two isolates were included in D. phaseolorumvar. meridi-onalis.The use of phenotipic and molecular tools have contributed to an accurate identification of P. longicolla,and comprehension about the biological relationships (homo or heterothallic hibridizations) among D. phaseolo-rumvarieties (P. phaseoli)and species of Diaporthe-Phomopsis.This allowed also a better understanding of the mechanisms of fungic plasticity, to colonize and expand their host range and genetic variability, promoting thus their biodiversity conservation.
