Coevolutionary patterns in the Linum marginale - Melampsora lini association at a continental scale

Publication: Canadian Journal of Botany
March 2002

Abstract

Patterns in the distribution of virulence and resistance in the Linum marginale A. Cunn. ex. Planch – Melampsora lini (Ehrenb.) Lev. host–pathogen interaction that is endemic to Australia were examined in a 3500-km pancontinental comparison. Pathogen isolates derived from Western Australia were virulent on a much greater proportion of hosts from Western Australia than they were on a broad range of L. marginale lines collected throughout eastern Australia. In contrast, the physical isolation of Western Australia had no discernible effect on the distribution of the mean resistance of host lines. Within eastern Australia, isolates collected from Tasmania (isolated by 100 km of sea), southern New South Wales, and South Australia showed varying levels of response in terms of their virulence on host lines originating from the same or other eastern subregions. Finally, across the entire distribution of the pathogen, there was a significant effect of distance such that more distant pathogen isolates were generally less well adapted to host lines than more locally derived ones.Key words: coevolution, pathogen, resistance, rust, speciation, virulence.

Résumé

Dans le cadre d'une comparaison pan-continentale s'étendant sur 3500 km, les auteurs ont examiné les patrons de distribution de la virulence et de la résistance dans le système hôte–pathogène Linum marginale A. Cunn. ex. Planch – Melampsora lini (Ehrenb.) Lev., qui est endémique en Australie. Les isolats du champignon pathogène provenant de l'Australie occidentale (« Western Australia ») exercent leur virulence sur une beaucoup plus grande proportion d'hôtes de l'Australie occidentale, qu'ils ne le font sur un large ensemble de lignées du L. marginale récoltées dans l'ensemble de l'Australie orientale. Au contraire, l'isolation physique de l'Australie occidentale n'a pas d'effet distinct sur la distribution de la résistance moyenne des lignées d'hôte. A l'intérieur de l'Australie orientale, les isolats récoltés en Tasmanie (isolés à environ 100 km de la mer), dans le New South Wales et en Australie méridionale (« South Australia »), montrent des degrés variables de réaction, en termes de virulence sur des lignées d'hôtes provenant des mêmes ou de d'autres sous-régions orientales. Finalement, pour l'ensemble de l'aire de distribution du pathogène, il y a un effet significatif de la distance, de sortes que les isolats du pathogène les plus éloignés sont généralement moins adaptés aux lignées d'hôtes, que les isolats de sources locales.Mots-clés : co-évolution, pathogène, résistance, rouille, spéciation, virulence.[Traduit par la Rédaction]
