Pathogenicity, Host Resistance, and Genetic Diversity of Fusarium Species under Controlled Conditions from Soybean in Canada. J Fungi (Basel) 2024; 10:303. [PMID: 38786658 PMCID: PMC11122035 DOI: 10.3390/jof10050303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Fusarium spp. are commonly associated with the root rot complex of soybean (Glycine max). Previous surveys identified six common Fusarium species from Manitoba, including F. oxysporum, F. redolens, F. graminearum, F. solani, F. avenaceum, and F. acuminatum. This study aimed to determine their pathogenicity, assess host resistance, and evaluate the genetic diversity of Fusarium spp. isolated from Canada. The pathogenicity of these species was tested on two soybean cultivars, 'Akras' (moderately resistant) and 'B150Y1' (susceptible), under greenhouse conditions. The aggressiveness of the fungal isolates varied, with root rot severities ranging from 1.5 to 3.3 on a 0-4 scale. Subsequently, the six species were used to screen a panel of 20 Canadian soybean cultivars for resistance in a greenhouse. Cluster and principal component analyses were conducted based on the same traits used in the pathogenicity study. Two cultivars, 'P15T46R2' and 'B150Y1', were consistently found to be tolerant to F. oxysporum, F. redolens, F. graminearum, and F. solani. To investigate the incidence and prevalence of Fusarium spp. in Canada, fungi were isolated from 106 soybean fields surveyed across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Quebec. Eighty-three Fusarium isolates were evaluated based on morphology and with multiple PCR primers, and phylogenetic analyses indicated their diversity across the major soybean production regions of Canada. Overall, this study contributes valuable insights into host resistance and the pathogenicity and genetic diversity of Fusarium spp. in Canadian soybean fields.

Inactivation of E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella enterica, and L. monocytogenes through semi-continuous superheated steam treatment with additional effects of enhancing initial germination rate and salinity tolerance. Food Microbiol 2024; 117:104373. [PMID: 37918996 DOI: 10.1016/j.fm.2023.104373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2023] [Revised: 08/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/04/2023]
Abstract
Superheated steam (SHS) is a powerful technology used to reduce bacteria on food surfaces while causing less damage to the underlying sublayer of food compared to conventional heating treatments. In this study, a semi-continuous SHS system was developed to inactivate foodborne pathogens within 1 s (Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella enterica, and Listeria monocytogenes) on radish seed surfaces and to enhance the seeds' salinity tolerance, which is vital for adapting to arid and semi-arid regions. The temperature of the SHS was set to 200 °C and 300 °C, with flow rates of 5 m/s and 7 m/s, and treatments were cycled either once or three times. As a result, increased temperature (200 °C-300 °C) and number of treatments (1 time to 3 times) led to a significantly larger microbial reduction on the surface of radish seeds. E. coli O157:H7, S. enterica, and L. monocytogenes were reduced by 4.42, 4.73, and 3.95 log CFU/g (P < 0.05), respectively, after three SHS treatments at 300 °C and 7 m/s. However, due to the ongoing potential for recovery of residual microorganisms, further research involving combinations is essential to enhance the microbicidal effect. Water imbibition showed significantly higher values in the SHS-treated group up to 30 min, indicating faster germination rates in the SHS-treated group (71.3-81.3%) compared to the control group (52.7%) on the second day, indicating a significant enhancement in germination rate. In addition, the salinity resistance of the radish seeds increased after SHS treatment. When moisturized with 0.5% NaCl solution, more radish seeds germinated after treatment with SHS (40%) than controls (22.7%) (P < 0.05). The results of this study, the first to apply semi-continuous SHS to seeds, are expected to serve as a cornerstone for future pilot-scale investigations aiming to implement the system within the seed industry.

Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a major source of oil and protein for human food and animal feed; however, soybean crops face diverse factors causing damage, including pathogen infections, environmental shifts, poor fertilization, and incorrect pesticide use, leading to reduced yields. Identifying the level of leaf damage aids yield projections, pesticide, and fertilizer decisions. Deep learning models (DLMs) and neural networks mastering tasks from abundant data have been used for binary healthy/unhealthy leaf classification. However, no DLM predicts and categorizes soybean leaf damage severity (five levels) for tailored pesticide use and yield forecasts. This paper introduces a novel DLM for accurate damage prediction and classification, trained on 2930 near-field soybean leaf images. The model quantifies damage severity, distinguishing healthy/unhealthy leaves and offering a comprehensive solution. Performance metrics include accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. This research presents a robust DLM for soybean damage assessment, supporting informed agricultural decisions based on specific damage levels and enhancing crop management and productivity.

An Investigation into the Use of Heat Treatments to Reduce Risk of Dothistroma septosporum Transmission via Seed Stock. J Fungi (Basel) 2023; 9:1190. [PMID: 38132790 PMCID: PMC10744699 DOI: 10.3390/jof9121190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
The international plant trade results in the accidental movement of invasive pests and pathogens, and has contributed significantly to recent range expansion of pathogens including Dothistroma septosporum. Seeds are usually thought to present a lower biosecurity risk than plants, but the importation of Pinus contorta seeds from North America to Britain in the mid-1900s, and similarities between British and Canadian D. septosporum populations suggests seeds could be a pathway. Dothistroma septosporum has not been isolated from seeds, but inadequately cleaned seed material could contain infected needle fragments. This case study investigated whether cone kilning, and wet and dry heat treatments could reduce D. septosporum transmission without damaging seed viability. Pinus needles infected with D. septosporum were incubated alongside cones undergoing three commercial seed extraction processes. Additional needles were exposed to temperatures ranging from 10 to 67 °C dry heat for up to 48 h, or incubated in water heated to between 20 and 60 °C for up to one hour. Pinus sylvestris seeds were exposed to 60 and 65 dry heat °C for 48 h, and further seed samples incubated in water heated to between 20 and 60 °C for up to one hour. Dothistroma septosporum survived the three kilning processes and while seeds were not damaged by dry heat exceeding 63.5 °C, at this temperature no D. septosporum survived. Wet heat treatments resulted in less than 10% pathogen survival following incubation at 40 °C, while at this temperature the seeds suffered no significant impacts, even when submerged for one hour. Thus, commercial seed kilning could allow D. septosporum transmission, but elevated wet and dry heat treatments could be applied to seed stock to minimise pathogen risk without significantly damaging seed viability.

Seed Disinfestation Practices to Control Seed-Borne Fungi and Bacteria in Home Production of Sprouts. Foods 2023; 12:foods12040747. [PMID: 36832822 PMCID: PMC9955435 DOI: 10.3390/foods12040747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Concern over microbial contamination limits the adoption of home production of sprouts as a nutritious and sustainable food. Simple, accessible approaches to seed disinfection could support safe home seed sprouting. Here, we quantify bacterial and fungal contamination of seeds of 14 plant cultivars sold for home sprout production and test a range of chemical and physical methods for seed disinfestation appropriate for home use. Most seeds are contaminated with a variety of bacteria and fungi, and those microbes are usually limited to the seed surface. Heat treatments are not effective for seed disinfection because the high temperatures needed to effectively reduce microbial contamination also reduce seed germination. Two chlorine-based chemical disinfectants-dilute household bleach (0.6% sodium hypochlorite) and freshly generated hypochlorous acid (800 ppm chlorine)-were the most effective disinfection agents tested (up to a 5-log reduction in bacteria) that also did not harm seed germination.

[PMID: 35411587 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2021] [Revised: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 03/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Sprouting is a common strategy to enhance the nutritional value of seeds. Here, all the reports regarding the occurrence of isoflavones in soybean sprouts have been covered for the first time. Isoflavones were detected with concentrations ranging from 1 × 10-2 to 1 × 101 g/kg in soybean sprouts. Isoflavone concentration depends on the cultivar, germination time, part of the sprout, light, and temperature. Aglycon isoflavones increased during germination, especially in the hypocotyl, while 6″-O-malonyl-7-O-β-glucoside isoflavones decreased in the hypocotyl and increased in the cotyledon and root. Cooking reduced total isoflavone content. Regarding the strategies to enhance isoflavone contents, fermentation with Aspergillus sojae and external irradiation with UV-A or far-infrared were the methods that caused the greatest increases in aglycon, 7-O-β-glucoside, and total isoflavones. However, the largest increases in 6″-O-malonyl-7-O-β-glucoside and 6″-O-acetyl-7-O-β-glucosides isoflavones were detected after treatment with chitohexaose and calcium chloride, respectively. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Soybean sprouts are widely consumed and provide essential proteins, antioxidants, and minerals. They are rich in isoflavones, which exhibit numerous health benefits, and have been studied as alternative therapies for a range of hormone-dependent conditions, such as cancer, menopausal symptoms, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis. Despite numerous reports being published to date regarding the occurrence of isoflavones in soybean sprouts, the publications in this field are highly dispersed, and a review has not yet been published. This review aims to (1) highlight the particular isoflavones that have been detected in soybean sprouts and their concentrations, (2) compared the effects of temperature, light, cooking and soybean cultivar affect the isoflavone levels on the different parts of the sprout, and (3) discuss the efficacy of the methods to enhance isoflavone contents. This review will provide a better understanding of the current state of this field of research by comparing the general trends and the different treatments for soybean sprouts.

Abstract
Coumestrol (CM), a biologically active compound found in Leguminosae plants, provides various human health benefits. To identify easy and effective methods to increase CM content in vegetables, we developed a quantitative analysis method using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Using this method, we found that soybean sprouts (1.76 ± 0.13 μg/g) have high CM contents among nine vegetables and evaluated the difference in CM contents between two organs of the sprouts: cotyledons and hypocotyls. Next, soybean sprouts were cultivated under different light, temperature, and water conditions and their CM contents were evaluated. CM content was higher in hypocotyls (4.11 ± 0.04 μg/g) than in cotyledons. Cultivating soybean sprouts at 24°C enhanced CM content regardless of light conditions, the growth of fungi and bacteria, and sprout color. Thus, we identified methods of soybean sprout cultivation to increase CM content, which may provide health benefits and enhance value.

Abstract
The germination process causes changes in the chemical composition of seeds that improves the nutritional value of sprouts, while decreasing their microbiological safety, since the germination conditions are ideal for bacterial growth as well. This review explores the bacteriological safety of sprouts and their involvement in foodborne illness outbreaks, worldwide. Additionally, approaches to improve the shelf-life and microbiological safety of sprouts are discussed. According to the literature, sprout consumption is associated with more than 60 outbreaks of foodborne illness worldwide, since 1988. Alfalfa sprouts were most commonly involved in outbreaks and the most commonly implicated pathogens were Salmonella and pathogenic Escherichia coli (especially, Shiga toxin producing E. coli). In the pre-harvest stage, the implementation of good agricultural practices is an important tool for producing high-quality seeds. In the post-harvest stage, several methods of seed decontamination are used commercially, or have been investigated by researchers. After germination, seedlings should be kept under refrigeration and, if possible, cooked before consumption. Finally, microbiological analyses should be performed at all stages to monitor the hygiene of the sprout production process.

Abstract
Maize/soybean relay strip intercropping has been widely practiced in Southwest China due to its high productivity and effective application of agricultural resources; however, several seedborne diseases such as seedling blight, pod and seed decay are frequently observed causing severe yield loss and low seed quality. So far, the population and pathogenicity of the seedborne fungi associated with intercropped soybean remain unexplored. In this study, seeds of 12 soybean cultivars screened for intercropping were collected from three growing regions in Sichuan Province of Southwest China, and the seedborne fungi were isolated from the surface-sterilized seeds. Based on sequence analysis of ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (rDNA ITS), 148 isolates were identified into 13 fungal genera, among which Fusarium covered 55.0% as the biggest population followed by Colletotrichum. Furthermore, Fusarium isolates were classified into five distinct species comprising F. fujikuroi, F. proliferatum, F. verticillioides, F. asiaticum and F. incarnatum through sequence analysis of translation elongation factor 1 alpha (EF-1α) and DNA-directed RNA ploymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2). Among them, F. fujikuroi accounted for 51.22% (42/82) and was isolated from 91.7% (11/12) soybean varieties. Pathogenicity assay showed that five Fusarium species were able to infect the seeds of soybean cultivar “Nandou12” and caused water-soaked or rot symptoms, while F. fujikuroi and F. asiaticum had much higher aggressiveness than other species with significant reductions of seed fresh weight and germination percentage. Accordingly, this study indicates that Fusarium species are the dominant seedborne fungi in the intercropped soybean in Sichuan, China, and this provides some useful references for the effective management of seedborne fungal diseases as well as soybean resistance breeding in maize/soybean relay strip intercropping.
