Abstract

Wild sunflower is a common weed that grows among agricultural crops in many parts of the world, where it is both highly invasive and competitive and can act as a reservoir for certain plant pathogens. Recently, signs of powdery mildew (PM) were observed in wild sunflower in Sinaloa, Mexico. The aim of this study was to identify the causal agent of PM in wild sunflower based on morphology and molecular techniques, and to determine its pathogenicity in a commercial sunflower hybrid. Morphometric analyses, particularly conidia diameter and germ tube length, confirmed the identity of the fungus in wild sunflowers as G. spadiceus. Phylogenetic analysis of the ITS regions grouped the obtained sequences within lineage III of the genus Golovinomyces, which comprises pathogenic species of the plant tribe Heliantheae. However, it was not possible to differentiate between G. ambrosiae and G. spadiceus due to their close phylogenetic relationship. Inoculation tests under greenhouse conditions confirmed the pathogenicity of G. spadiceus in wild sunflower and in the commercial sunflower hybrid SYN3950HO. The signs displayed by the two types of sunflower were similar to those observed under field conditions and in two independent inoculation tests. The commercial hybrid and wild sunflower showed susceptibility to the pathogen in two independent pathogenicity tests. Our results confirm that wild sunflower is a potential source of G. spadiceus inoculum for commercial sunflower during the fall-winter growing season.
