Abstract

Cytospora species are ubiquitous pathogens of numerous woody plants, causing dieback and wood cankers in agronomic crops, timber trees and wildland trees (e.g. Prunus, Eucalyptus and Salix, respectively). Cytospora chrysosperma, C. cincta and C. leucostoma have been reported from grapevines in Iran showing symptoms of one or more recognized trunk diseases (esca, botryosphaeria-, eutypa- and phomopsis diebacks); however, only C. chrysosperma was shown to be pathogenic to grapevine. To understand the potential role of Cytospora species in the grapevine trunk-disease complex, 21 Cytospora isolates were examined that were recovered from dieback and wood cankers of Vitis vinifera and Vitis interspecific hybrids in seven northeastern U.S. states and two Canadian provinces. Phylogenetic analyses of ITS and translation elongation factor 1-a identified two novel species: Cytospora vinacea sp. nov. and Cytospora viticola sp. nov. Differences in culture morphology and conidial dimensions also distinguished the species. When inoculated to the woody stems of potted V. vinifera ?Thompson Seedless? in the greenhouse, both species were pathogenic, based on development of wood lesions and fulfilment of Koch?s postulates. Cytospora viticola was the most virulent based on lesion length at 12 months post-inoculation. As cytospora canker shares some of the same general dieback-type symptoms as botryosphaeria-, eutypa- and phomopsis diebacks, it may be considered part of the grapevine trunk-disease complex in eastern North America.
