Abstract
Verticillium nonalfalfae is a soil-borne plant pathogen that infects its hosts through roots. It spreads in the plant’s xylem and causes wilt disease symptoms by secreting different virulence factors. Hop (Humulus lupulus) is a primary host of V. nonalfalfae, so it is used as a model plant for studying this phytopathogenic fungus. Artificial infections of hop plants and disease scoring are prerequisites for studying the pathogen’s virulence/pathogenicity and its interaction with hop plants. In this protocol, we describe the root dipping inoculation method for conducting pathogenicity assay of V. nonalfalfae on hop plants.

Background
Verticillium spp. infects more than 400 different host plants and every species has its own range of host. The primary host of V. nonalfalfae is hop. However, hop has several disadvantages for use as a test plant for pathogenicity assay; e.g., it is a perennial plant and needs to undergo a dormancy phase. Plants can therefore only be used for pathogenicity assay for a few months in the year, from late spring to late summer. Hop varieties are vegetatively propagated as softwood cuttings in a greenhouse or as dormant cuttings from rootstock. Seeds are obtained by crossing female and male plants and are used only for breeding purposes. The root dipping inoculation method has been widely used for pathogenicity assay of Verticillium spp. on other plant hosts, e.g., tomato (Fradin et al., 2009), N. benthamiana (Klosterman et al., 2011) and Arabidopsis thaliana (Ellendorff et al., 2009).
