猕猴桃溃疡病菌biovar 3群体MLVA分型技术的建立与应用

 丁香假单胞菌猕猴桃致病变种生物型3(Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae biovar 3,Psa3)是猕猴桃溃疡病菌的世界流行群体,但仅在中国存在复杂的遗传多样性。开发适于Psa3群体分型的MLVA(multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis)技术是探索中国Psa3起源与流行学特性的基础。本研究对7个Psa3菌株进行了全基因组测序,结合已公布的86个全基因组数据,进行比较分析发现,中国Psa3至少存在7个亚群;在各亚群间存在多态性的24个串联重复序列中,其中10个可以通过琼脂糖凝胶电泳区分开且变异指数合适,据此建立了适于Psa3的MLVA技术。采用该技术对分别来自贵州和陕西的62和9个Psa3菌株进行群体分型,分型结果与全基因组分析高度一致,证明该MLVA体系分型准确。MLVA分型结果表明:贵州主产区修文县Psa3有3个MLVA群体,其中亚群4的组内分化明显,代表最早发生的群体;而亚群 1和3的结构单一,且多在新果园发现,是新传入群体。总之,本研究建立了一套可用于Psa3群体分型的MLVA技术,将有助于解析中国各猕猴桃产区Psa3群体结构,以及探索中国Psa3的起源、传播和流行学特征。

猕猴桃溃疡病菌不致病菌株G230的鉴定及形成原因分析

为探索田间猕猴桃溃疡病菌Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae(Psa)致病力丧失的分子机制,针对从猕猴桃果园中分离获得的1株不致病菌株G230,通过特异性引物检测和多基因序列分析明确其分类地位,并设计引物检测其是否由已知遗传变异引起,通过比较基因组学、基因表达、超敏反应和荧光素酶报告菌株检测确定引起菌株G230致病力丧失的原因。结果表明,不致病菌株G230为Psa生物型3(Psa3),其致病缺陷不是由已报道的遗传变异引起;基于基因组比较分析发现菌株G230中的hrpS基因被转座子ISPsy36插入破坏,导致Ⅲ型分泌系统（type Ⅲ secretion system,T3SS）不能正常表达;而在不致病菌株G230中表达hrpS基因后能恢复其T3SS功能,使其具备致病能力及激发非寄主超敏反应的能力。表明转座子ISPsy36插入hrpS基因内部可以破坏Psa的T3SS功能进而使其丧失致病力,这是自然条件下Psa3丧失致病力的一种新型机制。

Characterization of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) isolated from France and assignment of Psa biovar 4 to a de novo pathovar: Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidifoliorum pv. nov.

Since 2008, bacterial canker of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa and A. chinensis) caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) has resulted in severe economic losses worldwide. Four biovars of Psa can be distinguished based on their biochemical, pathogenicity and molecular characteristics. Using a range of biochemical, molecular and pathogenicity assays, strains collected in France since the beginning of the outbreak in 2010 were found to be genotypically and phenotypically diverse, and to belong to biovar 3 or biovar 4. This is the first time that strains of biovar 4 have been isolated outside New Zealand or Australia. A multilocus sequence analysis based on four housekeeping genes (gapA, gltA, gyrB and rpoD) was performed on 72 strains representative of the French outbreak. All the strains fell into two phylogenetic groups: one clonal corresponding to biovar 3, and the other corresponding to biovar 4. This second phylogenetic group was polymorphic and could be divided into four lineages. A clonal genealogy performed with a coalescent approach did not reveal any common ancestor for the 72 Psa strains. Strains of biovar 4 are substantially different from those of the other biovars: they are less aggressive and cause only leaf spots whereas Psa biovars 1, 2 and 3 also cause canker and shoot die‐back. Because of these pathogenic differences, which were supported by phenotypic, genetic and phylogenetic differences, it is proposed that Psa biovar 4 be renamed Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidifoliorum pv. nov. Strain CFBP 8039 is designated as the pathotype strain.     

Highly specific assays to detect isolates of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae biovar 3 and Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidifoliorum directly from plant material

Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) is responsible for bacterial canker of kiwifruit. Biovar 3 of Psa (Psa3) has been causing widespread damage to yellow‐ and green‐fleshed kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) cultivars in all the major kiwifruit‐producing countries in the world. In some areas, including New Zealand, P. syringae pv. actinidifoliorum (Pfm), another bacterial pathogen of kiwifruit, was initially classified as a low virulence biovar of Psa. Ability to rapidly distinguish between these pathovars is vital to the management of bacterial canker. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) data were used to develop PCR assays to specifically detect Psa3 and Pfm from field‐collected material without the need to culture bacteria. Genomic data from 36 strains of Psa, Pfm or related isolates enabled identification of areas of genomic variation suitable for primer design. The developed assays were tested on 147 non‐target bacterial species including strains likely to be found in kiwifruit orchards. A number of assays did not proceed because although they were able to discriminate between the different Psa biovars and Pfm, they also produced amplicons from other unrelated bacteria. This could have resulted in false positives from environmental samples, and demonstrates the care that is required when applying assays devised for pure cultures to field‐collected samples. The strategy described here for developing assays for distinguishing strains of closely related pathogens could be applied to other diseases with characteristics similar to Psa.     

Genetic diversity of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae,pathogen of kiwifruit bacterial canker

Bacterial canker disease of kiwifruit currently occurs in at least 15 countries, causing serious damage. The causative agent of the disease is Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), which is genetically diverse and is currently classified into five biovars, namely, biovars 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6. In Japan, four biovars except biovar 2 have been found so far. These biovars have been confirmed to have differences in the virulence and composition of pathogenicity-related genes, such as toxin biosynthesis and type III effector genes. Biovars 1 and 6 possess the tox island, a genomic island of approximately 38 kb, which contains phaseolotoxin biosynthesis genes (argK-tox cluster) and is confirmed to have been acquired from other bacteria through horizontal transfers. Also, on the megaplasmid possessed by biovar 6, there exist coronatine biosynthesis genes, and biovar 6 has the ability to produce two phytotoxins, phaseolotoxin and coronatine. In 2014, biovar 3, considered to be of foreign origin, was confirmed for the first time in Japan. Biovar 5, whose virulence is relatively weak, is distributed only in a limited area. In addition to the tox island and various plasmids, a large number of mobile genetic elements are confirmed to be present on the Psa genomes, which might have played a major role in helping Psa to acquire new features. In order to understand how Psa acquired the ability to infect kiwifruit systemically, it is important to make polyphasic comparisons with related pathovars, such as P. syringae pv. theae and pv. actinidifoliorum.     

Real‐time and qualitative PCR for detecting Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae isolates causing recent outbreaks of kiwifruit bacterial canker

Since 2008, Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae virulent strains (Psa‐V) have quickly spread across the main areas of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa and A. chinensis) cultivation causing sudden and re‐emerging outbreaks of bacterial canker to both species. The disease caused by Psa‐V strains is considered worldwide as pandemic. Recently, P. syringae strains (ex Psa‐LV, now called PsD) phylogenetically related to Psa‐V have been isolated from kiwifruit, but cause only minor damage (i.e. leaf spot) to the host. The different biological significance of these bacterial populations affecting kiwifruit highlights the importance of having a diagnostic method able to detect Psa‐V, which is currently solely responsible for the severe damage to the kiwifruit industry. In order to improve the specific molecular detection of Psa‐V, a real‐time PCR assay has been developed based on EvaGreen chemistry, together with a novel qualitative PCR (PCR‐C). Both methods are based on specific primer sets for the hrpW gene of Psa. The real‐time PCR and PCR‐C were highly specific, detecting down to 50 and 200 fg, respectively, and were applied to a range of organs/tissues of kiwifruit with and without symptoms. These methods are important tools for both sanitary and certification programmes, and will help to avoid the spread of Psa‐V and to check possible inoculum sources. In addition to being used as routine tests, they will also enable the study of the biology of Psa‐V and the disease that it causes, whilst avoiding the detection of other populations of related P. syringae present in kiwifruit.
