水稻转录因子OsBTF3对不同病原菌和信号分子的基因表达反应

 转录因子基因OsBTF3在水稻品种日本晴悬浮细胞中受白叶枯病菌(Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae,Xoo)诱导表达。为了阐明OsBTF3在水稻叶组织中的表达特征,本研究利用RT-Q-PCR技术,对经3种亲和性病原菌[水稻白叶枯病菌(Xoo)、水稻条斑病菌(Xooc)和稻瘟病菌(Mg)]接种和4种信号分子[脱落酸(ABA)、水杨酸(SA)、茉莉酸甲酯(MeJA)、乙烯(ETH)]诱导处理的水稻叶片中OsBTF3的转录本进行了定量分析。结果表明,OsBTF3对Xoo、Xooc和Mg侵染的基因表达反应均显著地受到诱导,但反应速度和强度略有差异。而4种信号分子对OsBTF3表达的诱导作用差异较大,ABA诱导活性最强,MeJA和ETH次之,SA诱导作用不显著。因此,OsBTF3基因表达不仅具有病原菌Xoo、Xooc和Mg的诱导性,而且也具有信号分子MeJA、ETH和ABA的应答性。

烟草植株中水杨酸时、空动态分布的测定方法

自从1979年发现水杨酸(salicylic acid,SA)对烟草花叶病毒(TMV)侵染烟草具有保护作用,并可明显减轻TMV侵染引起的症状以来,SA愈来愈受到人们的高度重视。1993年Gaffney进一步研究转基因烟草与TMV关系时,认为SA对烟草产生过敏性反应(HR)和系统抗病性(SAR)是必需的,弘是诱导植物产生抗病性的重要植物内源抗病信号分子之一。在研究SA对植物的生理作用时,通常采用高效液相色谱技术(HPLC)测定其含量,但     

水杨酸诱导辣椒抗疫病的作用研究

本文以辣椒幼苗为试验材料,研究水杨酸诱导辣椒抗疫病的作用。结果表明:辣椒幼苗经SA处理后,能显著提高对疫病的抵抗能力。在0.5~1.0 mM范围内,SA诱导抗性随其浓度升高呈递增趋势,当SA浓度达1.0 mM时,诱导抗性最强,此后随SA浓度增大,诱导抗性逐渐减弱;SA处理后1~3 d接种疫病菌,辣椒植株表达出较高的诱导抗性,持续时间达10 d左右。     

β-氨基丁酸诱导烟草产生PR蛋白及对TMV的抑制作用

 本文研究了β-氨基丁酸(BABA)诱导系统侵染寄主烟草NC89产生PR蛋白及其对TMV的抑制作用。用5mmol/LBABA对抗性烟和非抗性烟进行叶面喷施处理均可以抑制烟草叶片中TMV的产生,平均抑制率分别达到59%和49%。BABA和SA处理均可以诱导2种烟草叶片中PR1、PR2和PR5基因的表达,其中对PR1的诱导作用相对较强。分别用BABA和SA处理非抗性烟草,在处理后的不同时间内2种药剂对PR1基因的诱导规律基本相同。用BABA和SA分别预处理非抗性烟草2d后接种TMV,2种药剂对烟草叶片中PR1基因的影响是完全不同的,其中,BABA处理后接种TMV抑制PR1基因的表达,在接种后第72h已经检测不到PR1基因的存在,SA处理后接种TMV对PR1基因的影响呈现弱-强-弱的变化趋势,在接种后第24hPR1的表达量达到最强,以后逐渐减弱。试验结果表明:BABA能够提高非抗性烟草对TMV的抗性,但是BABA诱导烟草产生抗TMV的作用机制可能是一种不同于目前普遍公认的SA的作用机制。     

内生细菌EBS05对烟草诱导抗性的信号转导途径研究

 樟树内生枯草芽胞杆菌EBS05是一株对多种植物病原菌具有较强拮抗活性,并能诱导烟草系统抗性的生防菌株。本文以缺失Surfactin A合成相关基因的突变菌株EBS05^T为材料,研究了内生细菌EBS05对烟草诱导系统抗性的激发子及其信号转导途径。结果表明,菌株EBS05产生的Surfactin A是诱导烟草对TMV系统抗性的有效激发子;Surfactin A诱导处理后,SA信号转导途径下游的关键调节基因NPR1首先被激活,并持续超量表达,进而触发PR1b和PR1a基因持续超量表达,表明Surfactin A诱导烟草对TMV的系统抗性是通过激活SA信号转导途径实现的。同时,Surfactin A诱导处理后24~72 h,JA/ET信号转导途径调节基因PDF1.2被激活,且超量表达,表明在Surfactin A诱导烟草对TMV系统抗性的信号转导过程中,可能存在SA信号途径和JA/ET信号途径的交叉协同作用。     

大豆凝集素基因lec-s转化烟草>增强对烟草花叶病毒的抗性

 将编码大豆凝集素的lec-s基因插入植物表达载体pBI121中,构建植物重组表达质粒pBI121:: lec-s。由根癌土壤杆菌EHA105介导的叶盘法转化烟草,获得了转基因烟草株系。PCR和RT-PCR检测证明lec-s基因已转入烟草植株中。接种烟草花叶病毒（Tobacco mosaic virus,TMV）进行抗病性试验结果表明,转基因烟草叶片上的病斑数显著减少,说明转基因烟草表现出对TMV的抗性。定量RT-PCR检测发现,接种TMV后,抗病防卫基因（PR-1a、GST1、Pal和hsr515）在转基因烟草叶片中显著上调表达。这些结果表明,大豆凝集素基因lec-s转化烟草可对TMV产生抗性,其作用机制可能在于lec-s基因参与了植物的防卫信号通路,诱导了抗病防卫基因在转基因植株体内的表达,增强了植株对TMV的系统抗性。     

南方根结线虫Me3毒性与非毒性群体对寄主趋向性和侵染能力的比较

 探究南方根结线虫Me3毒性与非毒性群体对抗感寄主趋向性和侵染能力,为揭示毒性群体致病机理及防治根结线虫策略提供理论依据。使用以水琼脂为介质的研究方法,通过对比分析辣椒抗病品种HDA149和感病品种茄门根尖附近聚集的2龄幼虫(J2)数量,来揭示南方根结线虫对抗感辣椒品种根尖的趋向性效应,并利用实时荧光定量 PCR 检测侵入到辣椒根系的毒性与非毒性线虫数量,对其侵染能力进行比较。J2 趋向性试验结果显示,在相同的时间点,HDA149 和茄门辣椒根尖处附近聚集的毒性群体 J2 数量总是显著多于非毒性群体的 J2数量;J2 对抗感辣椒的选择性结果表明,不论是毒性群体还是非毒性群体的 J2,在相同的时间点,茄门根尖附近聚集的线虫数量显著多于HDA149根尖附近的线虫数量;荧光定量 PCR 检测线虫侵染结果显示,毒性群体 J2侵入到辣椒根系的数量相对非毒性群体的 J2 更多。总之,相比南方根结线虫Me3非毒性群体,毒性群体的 J2 对寄主根系有较强的趋向性,并且侵染效率更高;相比于抗性寄主,Me3毒性群体和非毒性群体的 J2 对感病寄主有更强的选择性。     

茉莉酸甲酯对辣椒抗青枯病的诱导效应及抗氧化酶活性的影响

为探索茉莉酸甲酯(methyl jasmonate,MeJA)诱导辣椒抗青枯病的效应及与抗氧化酶活性的关系,以感青枯病品种粤红1号和抗青枯病品种辛香8号辣椒为试验材料,分别用浓度为0.025、0.05、0.1、0.5、1.0 mmol/L的MeJA浸种12 h和喷雾48 h处理后,接种浓度为107CFU/mL的青枯病菌Ralstonia solanacearum,测定MeJA对青枯病菌的抑制活性以及辣椒幼苗的病情指数、抗氧化酶活性和丙二醛含量。结果表明,0.025～1.0 mmol/L MeJA对青枯病菌无抑制作用;MeJA浸种处理对粤红1号和辛香8号辣椒幼苗的诱导效果最高,分别为21.38%和25.17%,而喷雾处理的诱导效果可依次提高至31.64%和37.30%,且诱导效果随MeJA浓度先升高后降低。与对照相比,MeJA处理后2个品种辣椒幼苗的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)及谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性均随MeJA浓度先升高后降低,而丙二醛(MDA)含量则先降低后升高;CAT、POD、APX和GR活性最大值均为抗病品种辛香8号经MeJA喷雾处理后所达峰值,依次为13.51、49.27、11.58和5.28 U/g FW,MDA含量最低值为13.58μmol/g FW,而SOD活性最大值为感病品种粤红1号经MeJA喷雾处理所达峰值,为364.31 U/g FW。表明MeJA预处理可有效诱导辣椒抗青枯病,其诱导效应与其激活幼苗叶片抗氧化酶活性和降低丙二醛含量有关。

A Molecular Marker Correlated with Selected Virulence Against the Tomato Resistance Gene Mi in Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica, and M. arenaria

ABSTRACT Root-knot nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne are economically important pathogens of a wide range of crops. The tomato resistance gene Mi typically confers resistance to the three major species, M. incognita, M. javanica, and M. arenaria. However, virulent populations completely overcoming the Mi resistance still occur. In an attempt to develop molecular markers for virulence against Mi and gain insights into the genetic relationships among virulent populations of different species and origins, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analyses of laboratory-selected virulent, field virulent, and avirulent populations of M. incognita, M. javanica, and M. arenaria were carried out. A RAPD marker, specific for selected virulent populations, was identified, and subsequently, converted to a sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR). Sequence characterization of the SCAR locus showed that alleles from laboratory- and field-selected virulent populations were highly similar to each other and clearly different from alleles from natural virulent and avirulent populations. This result suggests that the genetic mechanism for virulence against Mi may be similar among selected virulent populations of the three Meloidogyne spp., but different between selected and natural virulent populations. Based on the nucleotide polymorphisms at the SCAR locus, codominant and dominant polymerase chain reaction-based markers were developed enabling rapid diagnosis of selected virulent genotypes in M. incognita, M. javanica, and M. arenaria.     

Interactive Effects of Two Soilborne Pathogens, Phytophthora capsici and Verticillium dahliae, on Chile Pepper

ABSTRACT Phytophthora capsici and Verticillium dahliae are two mycelial microorganisms associated with wilt symptoms on chile pepper (Capsicum annuum). Both pathogens occur in the same field and can infect a single plant. This study examined the nature of the co-occurrence of P. capsici and V. dahliae. Chile pepper plants were inoculated with each pathogen separately or with both pathogens concomitantly or sequentially. In concomitant inoculations, plants were inoculated with a mixture of zoospores of P. capsici and conidia of V. dahliae. In sequential inoculations, plants were inoculated with zoospores of P. capsici 4 days prior to inoculation with conidia of V. dahliae, or plants were inoculated with conidia of V. dahliae 4 days prior to inoculation with zoospores of P. capsici. Stem necrosis and leaf wilting were visible 3 to 4 days earlier in plants inoculated with both P. capsici and V. dahliae than in plants inoculated with P. capsici alone. Stem necrosis and generalized plant wilting were observed in plants inoculated with P. capsici alone, and stem necrosis, generalized plant wilting, and vascular discoloration were observed in plants inoculated with both P. capsici and V. dahliae by 21 days after inoculation. These symptoms were not observed in control plants or plants inoculated with V. dahliae alone. The frequency of recovery of V. dahliae from stems was approximately 85 to 140% higher across inoculum levels when plants were inoculated with both P. capsici and V. dahliae than when plants were inoculated by V. dahliae alone. Similarly, the frequency of recovery of V. dahliae from roots was approximately 13 to 40% higher across inoculum levels when plants were inoculated with both P. capsici and V. dahliae than when plants were inoculated by V. dahliae alone. There was no apparent antagonism between the two pathogens when they were paired on growth media. In general, when P. capsici and V. dahliae were paired on growth media, mycelial growth of each pathogen grown alone was not significantly different from mycelial growth when the pathogens were paired. Results suggest that wilt development is hastened by the presence of both P. capsici and V. dahliae in the same plants. The presence of P. capsici and V. dahliae in the same inoculum court enhanced infection and colonization of chile pepper by V. dahliae.     

青枯病原细菌无毒菌株诱导番茄防御酶系及粗提液抑菌活性的影响

 用紫外诱变法获得的青枯无毒菌株诱导番茄,研究了诱导番茄细胞内防御酶系及组织粗提液抑菌活性的影响。结果表明:番茄经无毒菌株处理后,体内与抗病反应相关的苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)、过氧化物酶(POD)、多酚氧化酶(PPO)及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)等防御酶系活性均显著增加。无毒菌株可诱导产生植株体外和体内对致病菌有抑制作用的抑菌物质。表明青枯无毒菌株产生诱导抗性的机制可能是激活了植物本身的抗病代谢过程。     

The relationship between virulence and cytokinin production by Rhodococcus fascians (Tilford 1936) Goodfellow 1984

Qualitative and quantitative analyses were made of cytokinins secreted into liquid culture by virulent and avirulent strains of Rhodococcus fascians , and of the endogenous cytokinins in pea plants inoculated with the same strains. Both virulent and avirulent strains secreted a range of cytokinins into liquid culture. The non-hydroxylated cytokinins were present in the liquid cultures at levels up to 1000-fold higher than hydroxylated cytokinins, but the virulent strains secreted only slightly higher levels of isopentenyladenine (iP), isopentenyladenosine (iPA) and the tentatively identified methylthio-isopentenyladenosine (ms-iPA), than the avirulent strains. Pisum sativum cv. Novella plants that were inoculated with virulent strains contained only slightly higher levels of iP and ms-iPA but had lower levels of the cytokinin nucleotides than those plants that had been inoculated with the avirulent strains. The origin of the cytokinins secreted by avirulent and virulent strains is discussed, as is the significance of the cytokinin content of fasciated plants.     

Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Quantification of Phytophthora capsici in Different Pepper Genotypes

ABSTRACT Reliable and sensitive quantification of Phytophthora capsici in pepper plants is of crucial importance in managing the multiple syndromes caused by this pathogen. A real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed for the determination of P. capsici in pepper tissues. DNA levels of a highly virulent and a less virulent isolate were measured in different pepper genotypes with varying degrees of resistance. Using SYBR Green and specific primers for P. capsici, the minimal amount of pathogen DNA quantified was 10 pg. Pathogen DNA was recorded as early as 8 h postinoculation. Thereafter, the increase was rapid in susceptible cultivars and slower in resistant ones. The amount of pathogen DNA quantified in each pepper genotype correlated with susceptibility to Phytophthora root rot. Likewise, there was a relationship between the virulence of the pathogen and the degree of colonization. Differences also were found in oomycete amount among pepper tissues, with maximal pathogen biomass occurring in stems. The real-time PCR technique developed in this study was sensitive and robust enough to assess both pathogen development and resistance to Phytophthora root rot in different pepper genotypes.

Variation in resistance to the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita in tomato genotypes bearing the Mi gene

Root-knot nematodes ( Meloidogyne spp.) are among the main pathogens of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum ) worldwide. Plant resistance is currently the method of choice for controlling these pests and all the commercially available resistant cultivars carry the dominant Mi gene, which confers resistance to the three main species Meloidogyne arenaria , M. incognita and M. javanica . However the emergence of virulent biotypes able to overcome the tomato resistance gene may constitute a severe limitation to such a control strategy. To date, little was known of the possible influence of the homozygous vs heterozygous allelic state of the Mi locus, or the tomato genetic background, on the expression of the resistance. In order to test both these factors, the resistance was evaluated of a large panel of L. esculentum genotypes (selected from the Vilmorin germplasm stock collection) to seven M. incognita lines avirulent or virulent against the Mi gene. Plant resistance was estimated by counting the egg masses on the root systems after inoculation with second-stage juveniles (J₂). Reproduction of the nematodes was similar or, more often, significantly higher on heterozygous tomato genotypes than on homozygous ones, suggesting a possible dosage effect of the Mi gene. Data also indicated that the tomato genetic background had a major effect on the variations observed in nematode reproduction, especially when tomato genotypes were heterozygous for the Mi gene. These results have important consequences in terms of breeding strategies and durability of the resistance conferred by the Mi gene.
