          Abstract

          Dieback of mamey sapote (Pouteria sapota) grafts is the most important disease during vegetative propagation in commercial nurseries. In 2008, Lasiodiplodia theobromae identified by cultural, morphological and molecular characterization was associated with this disease in 97 % of necrotic rootstocks and scions samples from a nursery in Guerrero, México. The fungus was inoculated onto the binding site of El Mexicano grafted plants. Dieback symptoms and gradual drying with cracking of the bark from the apex to the base of the scion were observed 30 d after inoculation. Abundant mycelia and pycnidia were found on inoculated scions and graft union areas, in the periderm, and on leaf scars. Transverse sections of inoculated scions tissues showed pycnidia. Parenchyma cells of cortex and phloem collapsed and died. L. theobromae mycelia and red inclusions, probably of phenolic nature, were observed in both xylem vessels and pith parenchyma cells. To our knowledge, this is the first study that provides pathogenicity and histopathological data about a disease caused by L. theobromae during the grafting process.

          La muerte descendente de injertos de zapote mamey (Pouteria sapota) es la enfermedad más importante durante la propagación vegetativa en viveros comerciales. En 2008, Lasiodiplodia theobromae identificado por cultivo, morfológica y molecularmente, se asoció con esta enfermedad en 97 % de las muestras de portainjertos y varetas necrosadas en un vivero de Guerrero, México. El hongo se inoculó en el sitio de unión de plantas injertadas de la selección El Mexicano. Síntomas de muerte descendente con deshidratación gradual y agrietamiento de la corteza que inició en el ápice y desplazó hacia la base de la vareta, se observaron 30 d después de la inoculación. Abundante micelio y picnidios se encontraron en varetas, zonas de unión del injerto, peridermis, y en cicatrices foliares. Secciones transversales de tejidos de varetas inoculadas mostraron abundantes picnidos. Las células parenquimatosas de la corteza y floema colapsaron y necrosaron. Micelio de L. theobromae e inclusiones rojas, de probable naturaleza fenólica, se observaron en vasos del xilema y en células parenquimatosas de la médula. Para nuestro conocimiento, este es el primer estudio que provee datos de patogenicidad e histopatología acerca de una enfermedad causada por L. theobromae durante el proceso de injerto.
