1 QBOL, DNA barcodes to identify phytobacteria subjected to EU quarantine regulations Cottyn B., L. Detemmerman, M. Maes COST873 - Annual Meeting September 2010

2 Introduction Financed by 7th Framework Program of European Union AIM: develop new diagnostic tool for plant health identification of quarantine organisms using DNA barcoding DNA 'barcode = short genomic DNA sequence for species identification

3 Introduction Barcoding of Fungi Barcoding of Arthropods Barcoding of Bacteria Barcoding of Nematodes Barcoding of Viruses Barcoding of Phytoplasmas

4 QBOL bacteria Partners: Institute for Agricultural and Fisheries Research (ILVO, Belgium) Laboratory of Microbiology, Ghent University (LM-UGent, Belgium) Agroscope Changins-Waedenswil Research Station (ACW, Switzerland)

5 QBOL bacteria Activities 1. Design DNA barcode for quarantine bacteria 2. Develop standard protocol for DNA isolation, amplification and sequencing 3. Set up public barcode-database, linked to biological information 4. Create DNA-bank of barcoded quarantine bacteria and relatives

6 QBOL bacteria Target pathogens Target Q-organism Priority 1 Priority 2 Partner Xylella fastidiosa X ACW Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus X LM-UGent Ralstonia solanacearum 3 phylotypes ACW Xanthomonads pathogenic to Citrus 3 subsp.

7 ILVO KEY WORK: Strain-collection: target xanthomonads & close relatives DNA barcode design: discrimination between target xanthomonads & relatives Gyrase B gene for phylogeny of Xanthomonas = first barcoding region EXPECTED: Multi-locus DNA barcode for accurate pathogen identification

21 Pathovar resolution gyrb Accessory gene

22 Conclusion gyrb-barcode: OK at species level : X. oryzae, X. fragariae, X. vesicatoria, X. translucens Insufficient at subspecies/pathovar level Multi-locus DNA-barcode

23 Conclusion Supplementary loci? Core genes: + phylogenetic relevance - resolution? Accessory genes: + direct link to pathovar - horizontal gene transfer - limited distribution

24 Conclusion Pathovars = special purpose classification (Provisional solution for communication, regulation and quarantine) Not covered by International Code of Names of Prokaryotes (Lapage et al., 15) Approved Lists (Skerman et al., 10) Taxonomically not well investigated Sometimes composed of multiple unrelated genotypes (biological entities?) Xanthomonas classification very dynamic DNA barcodes can provide new evidence to address complex taxonomic issues
