Panax rusty root rot caused by the species complex is a devastating disease, and it is one of the main factors contributing to the difficulty in continual cropping. Rusty root rot occurs in all ginseng fields, but little is known about the taxonomy of the fungal pathogen complex, especially and -like species. Rusty root rot samples were collected from commercial ginseng cultivation areas of China, and the pathogens were isolated and purified as single spores. Based on the combination analysis of multiple loci (rDNA-ITS, , , , , LSU, , , and SSU) and morphological characteristics, the pathogens causing ginseng rusty root rot were determined. Fungal isolates were obtained from infected roots in 56 locations within main cultivation areas in China. A total of 766 strains were identified as , -like and species, including (55.0%), (21.7%), (10.9%), (2.0%), (1.3%), (1.3%), (2.0%), (0.5%), sp. (0.5%), and (1.5%), and four novel species, (1.0%), (1.0%), (0.8%) and (0.5%), with a total of 14 species. As the pathogen present in the highest proportion, was the most prevalent and damaging species, unlike the pathogens reported previously. All of the examined strains were proven to cause ginseng rusty root rot. Our results indicate that the taxonomy of the fungal complex associated with ginseng rusty root rot includes , -like genera (, , and ) and .

Ginseng rusty root symptoms result from nitric oxide stress in soil.
Sci Rep
September 2024
College of Pharmacy, Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine, Harbin, 150040, China.
Article Synopsis
- * GRS is linked to increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and higher activities of certain enzymes like nitrate reductase (NR) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which produce nitric oxide (NO) that worsens the condition.
- * Research revealed that as GRS develops, there's a fluctuation in NADPH oxidase activity and the presence of oxidized iron in the soil, contributing to the symptomatic rust on ginseng roots; treatments for GRS are currently lacking.

GRS prevention and control is still challenging due to its unclear etiology. In this study, the phloem tissue of healthy (AG), the nonred tissue of the phloem epidermis around the lesion (BG), and the red lesion site tissue of GRS (CG) were extracted for mRNA transcriptomic analysis; 35,958 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified and were associated with multiple stress resistance pathways, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and iron ion binding.

Article Synopsis
- * A study using RNA-seq technology compared healthy ginseng roots to those affected by rusty root syndrome, revealing 672 upregulated and 526 downregulated genes related to secondary metabolite biosynthesis and plant-pathogen interactions.
- * The research found that ginseng responds to rusty root syndrome by modifying its cell wall and increasing aluminum tolerance, providing new insights into the molecular mechanisms behind the disease.
Development and authentication of cv. Sunhong with high yield and multiple tolerance to heat damage, rusty roots and lodging.

Unlabelled: Ginseng () has been used as a valuable medicinal plant in Asia, and the demand for ginseng production for health functional food is increasing worldwide after the COVID-19 crisis. Although a number of cultivars have been developed to increase ginseng production, none of them were widely cultivated in Korea because they could not resist various environmental stresses while being grown in one place for at least 4 years. To address this, Sunhong was developed as a ginseng cultivar with high yield and multiple stress tolerance by pure line selection.
