1 Resistance of Tulip Cultivars to Mild Mottle Mosaic Disease T. Morikawa, Y. Taga and T. Morii Vegetables and Ornamental Crops Experiment Station Toyama Agricultural Research Center Tonami, Toyama Japan Keywords: Tulipa, tulip mild mottle mosaic virus, Ophiovirus, Olpidium, resistance Abstract Tulip mild mottle mosaic disease, caused by Tulip mild mottle mosaic virus (TMMMV; genus Ophiovirus) is one of the most serious diseases in some bulb-producing areas of Japan. The virus is transmitted by the soil-inhabiting fungus Olpidium brassicae. To evaluate the degree of resistance of tulip cultivars to this disease, bulb lots of 214 cultivars were planted and cultivated in a field infested with the disease for 2 years, then cultivated another year in pots of un-infested soil. TMMMV infection in peduncles of tulip plants was examined every year when the cultivars flowered, using tissue blot immunoassay (TBIA). The resistance levels of the cultivars were classified according to viral infection rates. It was found that resistance to the disease varied greatly. The TMMMV infection rates among cultivars ranged from 0 to 100%. Twenty-four cultivars, with infection rates of less than 5%, were shown to be highly resistant. Forty-three cultivars, with infection rates as high as 61%, were shown to be clearly susceptible. Virus transmission through progeny bulbs was clearly diminished on ca. 20 cultivars, which fell into either the resistant or moderately resistant category. The cultivars that showed resistance (to primary or secondary infection with TMMMV) will be used to breed new resistant cultivars. INRODUCTION The soil-borne viral tulip diseases, mild mottle mosaic and streaking, were first found in Toyama prefecture in 1979 (Morikawa et al., 1995b). Both diseases have been spreading to bulb-producing areas throughout Japan, and cause severe problems in some areas. Although the agent from streaking disease in tulips has not been identified, the agent from mild mottle mosaic has already been identified as Tulip mild mottle mosaic virus (TMMMV) which is a member of the genus Ophiovirus (Morikawa et al., 1995a; Milne et al., 2000). TMMMV might be a multi-partite virus, having highly flexuous filamentous particles as intact or degraded virion with 47 kda coat protein. Plants infected with TMMMV show color-removing mottle on the flower bud, color-increasing streaks on the petals and chlorotic mottle mosaic appears along the leaf veins. The virus is transmitted by an obligate parasitic soil-inhabiting fungus, Olpidium brassicae (Morikawa et al., 1997). The use of resistant cultivars is the most important component of controlling the disease, as it can be highly effective and has minimal deleterious effects on the environment. For most fungal transmissible viral diseases, the only practical means of their control is to breed resistant cultivars, because no cost-effective chemical soil treatments are available. During the field surveys, large variations in TMMMV infection rates were observed quite often, even among multiple cultivars in the same field. In this study, we evaluated the degree of resistance of tulip cultivars to mild mottle mosaic disease. Not only does this information have strong implications for future cultivar selection, but it may also be useful in making practical agricultural policy. Proc. IX th Intl.

2 MATERIALS AND METHODS Plant Cultivation Bulb lots of 214 tulip cultivars were planted in a field infested with tulip mild mottle mosaic and streaking disease in Tonami City for two years, then cultivated for another year in pots of un-infested soil. In the field experiments, plot size was 1.6 m 2 with low spacing and a planting density of 84 bulbs/m 2. In the first year, bulbs were planted mid October 2000 (42 bulbs per plot, four replicates), and daughter bulbs were harvested from all plots in June of the next year. The main bulbs collected at that time were planted in a field in mid October Experimental conditions were the same as above, but the plotting arrangement in the field was altered. Daughter bulbs were harvested in the same way as the previous year. The main bulbs that were to be used for the final pot experiments were collected from the three replicates with higher infection rates, excluding the replicate with the lowest infection rate. Twenty-one bulbs were taken from each of the three replicates with higher infection rates, and were planted in pots filled with un-infested soil (it might be Olpidium free) in late November Planted pots were maintained under outdoor conditions. Viral Detection TMMMV infection in peduncles of tulip plants was examined every year when the cultivars flowered, using a modified version of tissue blot immunoassay (TBIA) (Lin et al., 1990). Peduncles were cut from tulip plants by hand. Tissue blots were obtained by pressing the cut edge onto nitrocellulose membrane. The membranes were immersed in TBS containing 5% skim milk for 10 min at room temperature. Then they were incubated in a mixture of viral antiserum and AP-conjugate goat antibodies over night at 4 C: the antiserum of TMMMV was diluted to a ratio of 1/80,000. AP-conjugated goat antibodies (Sigma A3687) were diluted to a ratio of 1/10,000 using TBS containing 0.5% skim milk. The membranes were washed twice with TBS containing 0.05% Tween-20 and then washed twice more with distilled water. The membranes were incubated in NBT/BCIP solution until the viral antigen became visible (Fig. 1). Evaluation of Cultivars Resistance The resistance levels of cultivars were classified according to TMMMV infection rates. In the field experiments, the average viral infection rate was calculated using the 3 replicates with higher infection rates, excluding the replicate with the lowest infection rate. The evaluations of cultivars resistance were based on viral infection rates in the 2 nd year of the field experiments, and a final evaluation was conducted by comparing the 2 nd year infection rate with the secondary infection rate in the final pot experiments. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION TMMMV infection rates varied greatly, with a range from 0 to 100% during the three years of the experiments on 214 cultivars. These results reveal that there are clear differences in resistance levels among cultivars. Resistance levels were classified into five categories: high-level resistance (HLR), resistance (R), moderate resistance (M), susceptibility (S) and high-level susceptibility (HLS), according to the TMMMV infection rate in the 2 nd year of the field experiments, and comparisons with secondary infection rates in the final pot experiments (Table 1). Twenty-four cultivars, with viral infection rates below 5%, were shown to be highly resistant. Forty-three cultivars, with viral infection rates as high as 61%, were shown to be clearly susceptible. Cultivars used in this study were divided in 14 groups using the tulip classification system of the Royal General Bulb Growers Association and the Toyama Tulip Breeding Program (Table 1). Although cultivars in the Fosteriana group were evaluated HLR to M, there is no direct connection between disease resistance levels and cultivars groups. Classification of cultivars is mainly based on characteristics such as size, flower shape, 550
3 character and time of bloom, rather than the genetic background. Resistance or susceptibility during the three years of the experiment was provisionally categorized into 4 typical patterns (Fig. 2, I-IV). Pattern I indicated clear susceptibility, pattern IV indicated clear resistance. Pattern II indicated an intermediate pattern between I and IV where clear tendencies could not be recognized. In pattern III, virus transmission to the progeny was clearly diminished in ca. 20 cultivars and changed to the resistant or moderately resistant categories. These results indicate that viral infection rates are dependent on the degree of the primary infection in the field and/or secondary infection through progeny bulbs. A number of host factors can affect resistance to infection in the field (field resistance). Not only factors such as the plant s attractiveness to the vector and compatibility with the vector, but also rooting times in particular can affect the degree of the primary infection. This is because infection rates can be suppressed through delayed planting (Morikawa et al., 1995b; Taga et al., 2001). Furthermore, host reactions against viral accumulation and multiplication in roots, and a systemic virus movement would strongly affect resistance levels. The nature of the HLR cultivar resistance is not clear. But as described above, we can infer that many factors acting simultaneously can affect the resistance levels of HLR cultivars. Moreover, many HLR cultivars (e.g. Orange Emperor, Gander and Ballerina ) are not completely resistant to viruses. In this study, or field experiment, even though infection rates were very low, viral infections were observed in these cultivars. Even though it cannot be said that pattern III cultivars have a strong resistance to TMMMV, it can be inferred that they most likely do have some kind of constitutive resistance. Suppression of long distance movement of the virus to progenies indicates this constitutive resistance. Also, in the cultivars that had an extreme reduction in their infection rate during the 2 nd year in the field, there may be a possibility of resistance induction due to previous infection. When the resistance factors and resistance genes of tulips to mild mottle mosaic disease are evaluated, we will have the possibility of breeding tulips that have durable resistance to the disease. Therefore, the cultivars that showed resistance (to primary or secondary infection with TMMMV) in this study will be useful for breeding new resistant cultivars.
