摘要

Two Bremia lactucae isolates were obtained from infected lettuce (Lactuca sativa) plants in fields in Kagawa Prefecture. The two isolates exhibited distinct reaction phenotypes compared to those of races in Hyogo Prefecture previously characterized by the International Bremia Evaluation Board, suggesting the presence of unreported races in Japan. Some commercial lettuce cultivars with resistance genes supported minimal sporulation of an isolate, confirming their effectiveness for disease control. When wild L. serriola collected from three regions was inoculated with the other isolate, the isolate only sporulated on plants from Hiroshima Prefecture. L. sativa cotyledons inoculated with sporangia of the isolate from L. serriola also sporulated, providing evidence of cross-infection of L. sativa and L. serriola by B. lactucae in Japan. The presence of new B. lactucae races and the regional susceptibility of L. serriola to B. lactucae may be influenced by practices such as weed management and crop rotation, including paddy rice cultivation.
