Fungi associated with invasive plant species in Cuba

Abstract

Several fungi use a wide range of plant species as hosts and others have high specificity for the host plant, invasive plants included. In this compilation, 676 fungal records associated to 102 species of invasive plants are recognized in Cuba, some of them are host specific and others are known from several hosts. Most of the fungal records are representatives of Ascomycota and also most of these records were found on/in leaves. The plant species Syzygium jambos, Bambusa vulgaris, Psidium guajava, Delonix regia, Citrus aurantium, Casuarina equisetifolia and Citrus × aurantiifolia are the ones with the highest numbers of associated fungi.

Abstract
Several fungi use a wide range of plant species as hosts and others have high specificity for the host plant, invasive plants
included. In this compilation, 676 fungal records associated to 102 species of invasive plants are recognized in Cuba, some
of them are host specific and others are known from several hosts. Most of the fungal records are representatives of Ascomy-
cota and also most of these records were found on/in leaves. The plant species Syzygium jambos, Bambusa vulgaris, Psidium
guajava, Delonix regia, Citrus aurantium, Casuarina equisetifolia and Citrus × aurantiifolia are the ones with the highest
numbers of associated fungi.
Key-words: Cuban mycobiota, invasive plants
Introduction
The term “biological invasions” refers to the process of introduction, establishment and expansion of exotic species
outside their native range of distribution (Vilá et al. 2008) through human action, either intentionally or unintentionally
(Richardson & Pyšek 2012). The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) estimates that invasive species
represent a major factor in the potential extinction of 15% of threatened plant species (Kairo et al. 2003) after the loss
of habitat (Oviedo et al. 2012). Island ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to impacts of invasive species and they
are considered to be the greatest threat to biodiversity in geographically and evolutionarily isolated ecosystems (Kairo
et al. 2003). In Cuba, the topics related to biological invasions, referred to research, management and public awareness,
are included in “Metas Nacionales para la Diversidad Biológica 2016–2020” (http://www.biodiversityfinance.net/
knowledge-product/cuba-national-program-biological-diversity-2016–2020).
For Cuba, 337 invasive plant taxa have been reported (Oviedo & González-Oliva 2015). In general, exotic plants
colonizing a given region grow faster, have shorter life cycles, allocate more resources to reproduction, have a higher
production of seeds which are more effectively dispersed and germinate faster (Oviedo et al. 2012), and have fewer
natural enemies than those plants native to that region, giving them particular advantages in relation to the latter
(Heredia et al. 2014). There are, however, other organisms which coexist with these invasive plants. Some of them are
fungi, which established relationships of various kinds with the invasives as symbionts, saprobes and parasites (Mena
et al. 2006).
Some species of fungi are associated with a wide range of plant species (Farr et al. 1989, Heredia et al. 2014),
while other groups such as Uredinales, Ustilaginales and Meliolales, as well as representatives of Rhytismataceae,
specialize in colonizing a narrow host range (Rodríguez 2001, Cabarroi et al. 2013).
Many fungi act as pathogens, causing diseases to plants, and some of them are so aggressive that the infected host
can lose their healthy appearance and begin to die in hours, as occur, for example, with the soybean rust Phakopsora
pachyrhizi. Fungal diseases of living plants can be as important as damage caused by insects or other organisms (Jung
1987). Some authors point out that the biocontrol could be an alternative for the control of invasive plants species,

either because it is not feasible to eradicate them or contain them in an area. Some fungal species are host-specific,
which allows their use as potential biocontrol agents for some plants (Barreto & Evans 1988, 1994, 1995, 1996,
Bateman 1997).
In Cuba there have been studies on fungi associated with endemic plants (Mena et al. 2000) and fungi associated
with endangered plants (Mena et al. 2000, Cabarroi et al. 2013), but not on fungi related to invasive plants. The
objective of this work was, therefore, to prepare a list of fungal species associated with invasive plants from Cuba to
provide a baseline for future work on biocontrol of these plant species through fungi. This information is also useful
for research about diversity and ecology.
Materials and methods
The Fungi of Cuba database (Camino et al. 2006), developed as a result of the Fungi of the Caribbean project (1997–
2000) sponsored by the Darwin Initiative of the United Kingdom, was consulted. In addition, specimens collected after
the end of that project and now in the dried mycological reference collections of the National Botanical Garden and the
Institute of Ecology and Systematics were also taken into account.
The “National List of invasive and potentially invasive plants of the Republic of Cuba -2015” proposed by Oviedo
& González-Oliva (2015) was used to identify which plants species should be included in this work.
With the information available, a list of fungal records associated with invasive plants was prepared. The original
name is shown as it appears in the database and also the accepted name according to the Index Fungorum (http://www.
indexfungorum.org/). The information presented also includes the taxonomic division to which each fungus belongs,
and the part of the plant with which it is associated.
Results
There are 676 fungal records associated with invasive plants, included in 261 genera, representing 9.5% of all the
fungal genera recorded for the country by Mena et al. (2000). Of the 337 invasive plant species reported for Cuba by
Oviedo & González-Oliva (2015), 102 are known to be associated with at least one fungus (Table 1).
Fungi of the division Ascomycota, asexual states included, are the most represented followed by Basidiomycota
with 462 and 207 records respectively. The division Glomeromycota is represented only by two records of Scutellospora
alborosea associated with Panicum maximum and Sorghum halepense. Five records, Choanephora cucurbitarum,
Endogone sp., Rhizopus stolonifer and Rhizopus sp, correspond to Zygomycota and are associated with four invasive
plants. The leaves are the substrate with more associated fungi (438 records).
Some fungi such as Puccinia conoclinii, Sporisorium andropogonis, Alternaria brassicae, Uromyces commelinae,
Cercospora viticis and Cercospora calopogonii, were found associated with one invasive plant species. Others such
as Glomerella cingulata, Hexagonia hydnoides, Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Phellinus gilvus, Trametes villosa and
Schizophyllum commune were founded in several hosts. The plant species with the highest number of associated fungi
are: Syzygium jambos, Bambusa vulgaris, Psidium guajava, Delonix regia, Citrus aurantium, Casuarina equisetifolia
and Citrus × aurantiifolia.

Conclusions
This is the first list of fungal records associated with invasive plants from Cuba and this data provide information
for future studies on control of these plants species through fungi. The invasive plant species associated with at least
one fungus represent 30% of all reported for Cuba. Of the 676 fungal records associated with invasive plants, 68%
correspond to members of the Ascomycota division and 30% to Basidiomycota.
Acknowledgments
The authors wish to thank to Dr. David Minter for the English review of the manuscript. This study was supported by
the national project “Diversidad y conservación de hongos en tres humedales cubanos”.
