The effects of sooty mold on photosynthesis and mesophyll structure of mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King., Meliaceae)

Abstract: The aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of the sooty mold on anatomy and photochemical activity of mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) leaves. The photochemical features of shadedeveloped leaves with or without sooty mold were compared to those of sun leaves using chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements. Leaf anatomy was also evaluated using conventional techniques. The degree of blockage of the photosynthetic active photon flux density (PPFD) by sooty mold and its effect on photochemistry were evalu… Show more

“…2004 ). Mealybugs affect crop quality and yield by excreting honeydew that promotes the growth of sooty mold fungi and reduces photosynthetic activity in leaves ( de Lemos Filho and Sousa Paiva 2006 ). Severe infestations render table grapes unmarketable, lower the quality of wine grapes, and increase the risk of ochratoxin A contamination on grapes, affecting the wine production chain ( Chiotta et al.…”

“…Registou-se que as espécies botânicas mencionadas estavam a fazer sombra à escultura e a aumentar o teor de matéria orgânica desta pela queda das suas folhas. Estas observações e a pesquisa efetuada levaram-nos à hipótese de o filme negro ser fumagina, também conhecida como sooty mould [11,[20][21][22][23][24]. A fumagina é um termo genérico para um produto de cor preta causado pelo desenvolvimento de fun-gos (provocada por mais de 200 espécies fúngicas) sobre um melada [24][25][26][27] (honeydew), produzido por insetos alimentadores de seiva (especialmente seiva doce), hóspedes das plantas [11,20,24].…”

“…Essas gotas caem das folhas para outras zonas das árvores ou ainda, como neste estudo, sobre a escultura [14,24,26,30]. Após a deposição, vão criar um revestimento açucarado pegajoso [11][12][23][24] sobre os materiais anteriormente mencionados, basicamente formado por sacarídeos [11,15,[20][21]27], aminoácidos, proteínas, minerais, vitaminas e outros compostos orgânicos [11-12, 15, 31]. Neste revestimento desenvolve-se um biofilme fúngico enegrecido (Figura 13) produzindo esporos e uma massa superficial negra [11,[20][21]27].…”

“…Although studies on the impacts of feeding by L. delicatula on host plant health are in their infancy, phloem feeding by nymphs and adults is known to cause physiological stress in young stems that may in turn cause infested branches to wilt, lose vigor or die following heavy infestations [10,12]. Feeding by L. delicatula results in the production of copious amounts of honeydew, which promotes the growth of sooty mold on plants below feeding sites, impeding photosynthesis of affected plants [13][14][15][16]. Damage caused by L. delicatula decreases grapevine growth, reducing crop yield by up to 90% and sometimes killing the vines (Vitis spp.…”
