AB  - ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ (stolbur phytoplasma) is associated with rubbery taproot disease (RTD) of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), while Macrophomina phaseolina is considered the most important root rot pathogen of this plant in Serbia. The high prevalence of M. phaseolina root rot reported on sugar beet in Serbia, unmatched elsewhere in the world, coupled with the notorious tendency of RTD-affected sugar beet to rot, has prompted research into the relationship between the two diseases. This study investigates the correlation between the occurrence of sugar beet RTD and the presence of root rot fungal pathogens in a semi-field ‘Ca. P. solani’ transmission experiment with the cixiid vector Reptalus quinquecostatus (Dufour), in addition to naturally infected sugar beet in the open field. Our results showed that: (i) Reptalus quinquecostatus transmitted ‘Ca. P. solani’ to sugar beet which induced typical RTD root symptoms; (ii) Macrophomina phaseolina root rot was exclusively present in ‘Ca. P. solani’-infected sugar beet in both the semi-field experiment and naturally infected sugar beet; and that (iii) even under environmental conditions favorable to the pathogen, M. phaseolina did not infect sugar beet, unless the plants had been previously infected with phytoplasma.

AB  - Blue mold, caused by Penicillium spp., is one of the most economically important postharvest diseases of pome fruits, globally. Pome fruits, in particular apple, is the most widely grown pome fruit in Serbia, and the distribution of Penicillium spp. responsible for postharvest decay is unknown. A two-year survey was conducted in 2014 and 2015, where four pome fruits (apple, pear, quince, and medlar) with blue mold symptoms were collected from 20 storage locations throughout Serbia. Detailed morphological characterization, analysis of virulence in three apple cultivars, and multilocus phylogeny revealed three main Penicillium spp. in order of abundance: P. expansum, P. crustosum, and P. solitum. Interestingly, P. expansum split into two distinct clades with strong statistical support that coincided with several morphological observations. Findings from this study are significant and showed previously undocumented diversity in blue mold fungi responsible for postharvest decay including the first finding of P. crustosum, and P. solitum as postharvest pathogens of quince and P. crustosum of medlar fruit in the world, and P. expansum of quince in Serbia. Data from this study provide timely information regarding phenotypic, morphological and genotypic plasticity in P. expansum that will impact the design of species-specific detection tools and guide the development of blue mold management strategies.

AB  - Monilinia spp. are economically important pathogens of pome and stone fruits. Four Monilinia species are present in Serbia - Monilinia fructigena, M. laxa, M. fructicola and Monilia polystroma. As detection and identification of Monilinia species are complex, the aim of this research was to evaluate species-specific primers in PCR in order to standardize fast and reliable molecular methods for differentiation between the four Monilinia species. Isolates of M. fructigena, M. laxa, M. fructicola and M. polystroma from apple fruit and referent isolates from Italy and Japan were used for testing. Specific molecular detection of M. laxa was obtained using ITS1Mlx/ITS4Mlx and Ml-Mfg-F2/Ml-Mfc-R1 primer pairs, and M. fructicola using ITS1Mfcl/ITS4Mfcl and Mfc-F1/Mfc-R1 primer pairs. ITS1Mfgn/ITS4Mfgn and ITS1/Mfg-R2 primer pairs, described as M. fructigena species-specific, amplified M. fructigena and M. polystroma, as well. Specific detection of these two species as well as of all four tested Monilinia species was obtained using the reverse primer MO368-5 with forward primers MO368-8R, Laxa-R2 and MO368-10R in separate or in Multiplex PCR reactions.

Specifična molekularna detekcija M. laxa postignuta je korišćenjem prajmera ITS1Mlx/ITS4Mlx i Ml-Mfg -F2/Ml-Mfc-R1, a vrste M. fructicola korišćenjem prajmera ITS1Mfcl/ITS4Mfcl i Mfc-F1/Mfc-R1. Prajmeri ITS1Mfgn/ITS4Mfgn i ITS1/Mfg -R2, koji su u literaturi opisani kao specifični za M. fructigena, pored izolata M. fructigena amplifikovali su i DNK izolata M. polystroma.
