FUNGAL INFECTION 3
Abstract
Grapevines are grown in Tasmania mainly for winemaking. Grape farming faces
challenges from fungal infections such as Botrytis Bunch Rot (BBR)and Powdery Mildew
(PM) that are caused by Botrytis cinerea and Erysiphe necator respectively. These diseases
can destroy whole vineyards thus resulting in significant losses to the grape farmers. In this
paper, we have reported projects carried out on grape vineyard at the Craigow vineyard. We
have also studied the resistance of some Botrytis species to antifungals and the effects of
temperature on the growth of the fungus.
Introduction
Grapevine diseases can be very devastating. Unfortunately, numerous grapevine
diseases thrive in almost any condition of planting. Fungi and bacteria are the major causes of
most grapevine diseases. Other diseases are caused by viruses. Birds and insects can transmit
bacteria or fungi from one vine to the other. Environmental factors can trigger the growth of
fungus that in turn wreaks havoc to grape vineyards. Grapevines are rarely grown in
temperate regions (Koch and Oehl, 2018). This is because grapes thrive well in climates with
low humidity and moisture (Gautam a al., 2013). A major management issue for grapevine
farming regions is the control of cryptogamic diseases. Powdery mildew (PM) for instance is
a major phytosanitary threat in the temperate regions (Bois et al., 2017). This is because
Erysiphe necator the fungus causing PM is temperature driven and is mostly induced by
rainfall (Bois et al., 2017). Temperate climate favors the spread of the fungal diseases.
The cool temperate climate causes the spread of fungal disease pathogens such as
Eutypa lata that cause Eutypa canker (EC), Botrytis cinerea that causes botrytis bunch rot
(BBR) and Erysiphe necator that cause Powdery mildew (PM). These culprit fungi belong to
the phylum Ascomycetes and spread through the air. All these fungi are prevalent in
Tasmanian grapevine yards. In Tasmania, grapevines are grown in most regions for wine

production and the fungal diseases are prevalent in all grape vine growing regions. The
severity of the fungal diseases varies with management choices and weather. This report
presents the incidence of BBR and PM at the Craigow vineyard in the Coal River Valley of
Tasmania. In this report, we will also outline the epidemiology of grapevine fungal pathogens
using online resources.
Materials and Methods
Field Assessment of the fungal disease
The assessment of BBR and PM was done by visiting the Craigow vineyard that is
located in Cambridge. The incidence, severity, and impacts of the diseases on the yield was
done on three grapevine varieties. The varieties studied were Riesling, Pinot noir and the
Chardonnay. The materials used were ipads that were used to collect data and take photos and
hand lenses.
Procedure 2.2
Each pair of students were allocated a part of one row of chardonnay and Riesling.
Every third vine of the row was assessed and until a total of 12 vines were recorded. From
each vine, 5 grape bunches were assessed and the percentage of disease estimated.
The percentage estimate of the disease was recorded as follows. Under 5% infection
estimates were recorded in single units (1-5 %). Estimates between 5% and 20% was
recorded in units of 5% (10%, 15% and 20%. Percentage estimates above 20% was recorded
in units of 10% (30%, 40% to 100%).
The percentages were recorded on a score sheet in the ipad and referenced against
photos. The data was then compiled and analyzed.
Effects of Temperature.
The effects of temperature on the germination of Botrytis cinerea spores was
determined.

unsterile paper towels; 1 x McCartney bottle with 10ml sterile water; 12 water agar plates,
and glass slides with their coverslips; slide grid; Vaseline and cling films.
Procedure 2.3
One glass slide was placed on the agar in the middle of plates which were
immediately covered with a lid. A piece of vine trunk was obtained from a side bench and
placed under the dissecting microscope to determine the presence of perithecia.
12 small pieces of the bark with a single perithecium were obtained using clean and
sterile scalpels. The pieces were thereafter transferred into a bottle of water for an hour.
Afterwards, the pieces were recovered and with tweezers and blotted gently to dryness using
the paper towels.
By using a small Vaseline blob single perithecia were attached to the inside of water
agar plates lids so that they were directly above the slides. Using a pair of tweezers, the
perithecia was positioned in such a way that its opening faced the agar; the positioning was
done under the dissecting microscope.
The plates were then sealed using cling films and incubated for 24 hours under
varying temperature ranges (2 C, 4 C, 10 C, and 20 C). the materials were then cleaned and⁰ ⁰ ⁰ ⁰
disposed safely.
Thereafter the plates were recovered, cling film removed and a drop of water placed
on the coverslip. A cove slip was then placed on the slide. As slide grid was placed under
each slide and transferred onto a compound microscope. The slides were examined and
results recorded.
The following materials were used for demonstration: 5x, 2-week-old cultures of

Procedure project 2.4
The procedure for the preparation of the spore solution from culture was
demonstrated.
The 12 agar plates were labeled and incubation temperatures indicated. The lids were
taken off and the spore solution added immediately in the middle of each plate. A flame
sterilized glass spreader was then used to spread the solution evenly. The plates were then
sealed using cling films and incubated for 72 hours.
Using the hemocytometer, the spore density was determined from the remaining
solution.
Afterwards, the plates were recovered from incubation and the growth of B. cinerea
distinguished. The results were recorded.

Discussion
Results from table 1 show the percentage incidence of BBR per fruit bunch from a
single row. It can be noted that the incidence of BBR is high when a bunch in the vine is
affected. For instance, vine 9 from table 1 had a 40% incidence of BBR in the first bunch.
The other bunches in the same vine also had high BBR infection. The contrary is seen when
infections are low in one bunch. For instance, bunch one of vine 3 from table 1 had 0
incidences and the rest of the bunches had 0 incidences too. This can mean that the spread of
B. cinerea occurs over short distances primarily through the air (Carisse and Van Der
Heyden, 2015). The same incidence is seen from the class averages whereby when one vine
in a row is affected the other vines tend to have some incidence of BBR, indicating ease of
infection along plants of the rows. The same trend is seen for results obtained for powdery

mildew (PM). The incidence of powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe necator depends on
climate conditions (Nakova, Nakov, & Tityanov, 2017). The incidences of BBR and PM
could be attributed to infections from the previous planting season or infected vine cuts.
Wind can transfer spores of the fungi from one plant vine to another (Riex et al.,
2014). Wind speeds as shown by the results from Cherries Tasmania and Reid Fruits weather
stations are capable of spreading the spores. Therefore, wind is a risk factor for the spread of
BBR and PM. Form the results in tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 it is seen that some grapevines are
affected by BBR and PM. This can be attributed to environmental factors such as temperature
humidity and rainfall as shown by the results from Tasmania and Reid fruits weather stations.
According to Oliver and others (2019), weather conditions are one of the main threats to
fungal diseases in crops. The environmental conditions such as humidity rainfall and
temperature are the major risk factors that make grapevines susceptible to BBR and PM. B.
cinerea and Erysiphe necator thrive well in optimum temperatures of between 200C and 300C
and high humidity (Schilder, 2010). Heavy rain can also cause injury to the berries thus
increasing the rate of infection (Carbó et al., 2019). As shown by the results from the weather
stations humidity was relatively high and the range of temperature can easily facilitate the
spread. of the fungi.
The percentage of agar plates covered with the colonies increased with the density of
spore measured using the haemocytometer. Pair 5 had the highest density. Plates that were
inoculated with spores from this sample had the highest percentage of the plate covered. The
plates inoculated with the sample from pair B, had the lowest percentage of the plate covered
with the colony. Sample 2 as shown had nil spores. At 4 C, the plates inoculated with⁰
solution from pair 2 sample had little 0% of the plate covered with B. cinerea colonies.
Growth from inoculating obtained from this sample was detected at 100C, 200C, and 250C.

Haemocytometer is effective in quantifying spores (Reich, Chatterton, and Johnson, 2017).

The reason may probably be that the haemocytometer could not detect low concentrations of
B. cinerea in pair 2 (Filonow, 2001). At 40C, the spores could not be activated enough and
thus they did not grow.
As shown from the results, the percentage under the colonies increased with
temperature. At 250C for instance, 73.3% of the plate was under the B. cinerea colony after
being inoculated with a solution from pair 1. The same part 1 solution resulted in 1% at 40C,
5% at 100C and 65% at 200C. The trend in this increase suggests that temperature has a role
in the growth of B. cinerea fungus. According to the growth of B. cinerea is favoured by
optimum temperatures of between 150c and 300C (Ciliberti et al., 2015). According to
Ciliberti and colleagues (2015), infection of grape berries Botrytis spp. cannot occur at 50C.
In project 2.4 the average diameter of BBR isolates colonies was determined by
growing the spores on different concentrations of boscalid. The aim of the project was to
determine the resistance of the fungus to anti-fungal. Boscalid was used for this experiment.
Boscalid is a pyridinecarboxamide and acts against a broad range of fungal pathogens
including Botrytis spp. B. cinerea species causes BBR in grapevines (Calvo-Garrido et al.,
2019). According to the obtained results, the average diameter of the colonies decreased with
an increase in concentration. For instance, in the first set, the colony diameter measured an
average of 79mm in the absence of boscalid. The diameter had an average of 14mm in 50μg
of boscalid and 12mm in 100μg of boscalid. This means that an increase in boscalid
concentrations increases the inhibition of BBR growth (Pierce et al., 2019). More pathogens
are killed by higher boscalid concentrations. In the absence of boscalid, the diameter was
very large and maybe would have continued getting larger if the incubation period was
extended. The strains of the fungus that resists the antifungal compound can do so through
secretion of chemicals such as ergosterol (Hall et al., 2017) According to Rupp and

colleagues (2017), the continued use of fungicides has led to the development of Botrytis
populations that are more resistant to the chemical.
Another important variable that is noted in project 2.4 is that the diameter of the
colonies varies with the Botrytis isolate. The average diameters were largest for Botrytis
cinereal 52, followed by 32, then PY and finally 11. This means that the isolates resist the
anti-fungal to different degrees (Carrasco et al., 2017). B. cinerea 52 is more tolerant of the
compound while B. cin11 is less tolerant. Therefore, boscalid as an antifungal can be less
effective when the culprit pathogen in BBR is B. cinerea 52. The diameter of the colonies
increased with the size of the plug used. This is because large plugs contained more spores
compared to smaller plugs. More spores mean that asexual division was higher thus resulting
in bigger colonies. Boscalid is an effective fungicide but when inappropriately used, it can
lead to resistance among the B. cinerea (Kim et al., 2016).
Conclusion
The fungal infections, BBR and PM can have devastating effects on grapevine
vineyards and result in poor yields or low-quality fruits. Developing preventive measures is
essential to curb the spread of the infections at Craigow vineyard in Tasmania. As shown
from the results, the prevalence of the fungal infections and is influenced by environmental
conditions such as the one found in Tasmania. Prolonged use of pesticides can also result in
resistance from some species of the fungi. Therefore, the use of more environmentally
friendly techniques as control will be necessary.
