Abstract:

To characterize the biological characteristics of two pathogens of black spot disease of Chinese rose (Rosa chinensis) and to identify the disease resistance of 32 varieties of Chinese rose, two pathogens, Alternaria alternata and Gnomoniopsis rosae, were isolated as the pathogen materials. The mycelial growth rate method was used to characterize the biological properties of the two pathogens, and the disease resistance experiments were carried out on 32 Chinese rose varieties individually using the isolated leaf inoculation method. The results showed that temperature, pH, carbon source, nitrogen source and light condition, as well as culture media affected the mycelial growth of the two pathogens. The optimal growth conditions for A. alternata was as follows: 25 ℃, pH of 6, carbon sources of glucose, nitrogen source of protein peptone, 12 h light-12 h dark or 24 h full light, decoction medium of rose leaves. The optimal growth conditions for G. rosae was as follows: 25 ℃, pH of 6, carbon source of sucrose or glucose, nitrogen source of glycine, 12 h light-12 h dark, decoction medium of rose leaves or PDA (potato dextrose agar) medium. The lethal temperature of mycelium was 55 ℃ (10 min) for both A. alternate and G. rosae. Among the 32 Chinese rose varieties, 12 varieties, including New York and Fulu Comedian, were identified as immunity varieties, with strong resistance and immunity to the two pathogens; while five varieties, including Ivory Fashion and Gypsy Boy, were identified as susceptible or severely susceptible varieties, with poor resistance to the two pathogens. These results could provide reference for the prevention and control of black spot disease and the cultivation of disease-resistant rose varieties in Yunnan Province of China.
