 为明确河北廊坊中国农科院植保所试验基地大豆孢囊线虫病田内大豆枯萎病病原镰刀菌的种类,对362份罹病枯萎大豆植株进行病原真菌分离,得到335株真菌;使用镰刀菌通用引物鉴定出镰刀菌(Fusarium spp.) 279株,占分离菌株83.3%;镰刀菌特异性引物、测序等分子生物学技术结合形态学特征进一步鉴定镰刀菌种类,鉴定出尖孢镰刀菌(F. oxysporum)189株,占分离菌株56.4%;茄病镰刀菌(F. solani)67株占20.0%、禾谷镰刀菌(F. graminearum)16株占4.8%、木贼镰刀菌(F. equiseti)3株、层出镰刀菌(F. proliferaum)2株、燕麦镰刀菌(F. avenaceum)和厚孢镰刀菌(F. chlamydosporum)各1株;致病性测试结果表明数量最多的尖孢镰刀菌(F. oxysporum)中约92.8%菌株具有不同程度的致病力;这些结果表明该试验基地大豆枯萎病的优势病原菌为尖孢镰刀菌(F. oxysporum);研究结果可为大豆枯萎病的防治提供科学依据,并为大豆孢囊线虫与尖孢镰刀菌复合侵染大豆的研究奠定基础。     

玉米青枯病病原腐霉对其伴生镰刀菌的影响

 本试验以玉米青枯病病原肿囊腐霉(Pythium inflatum Malthews)与禾生腐霉(Pythium gramlnicola Subram)为材料,着重研究了两种腐霉的生长与代谢对其伴生病原禾谷镰刀菌(Fusarium graminearum Schw.)的影响,结果表明:1.腐霉的定殖生长能力弱于禾谷镰刀菌。在腐霉菌落上,禾谷镰刀菌仍可生长,而在禾谷镰刀菌菌落上,腐霉则不能生长。2.在伴生条件下,腐霉被镰刀菌覆盖的时间长短随接种间隔而有变化,接种间隔愈短,则覆盖愈快。3.两种腐霉的培养滤液均对禾谷镰刀菌的孢子萌发与芽管伸长及菌落扩展有明显的促进作用,表明滤液中含有对镰刀菌生长有利的活性成分。4.腐霉培养滤液对禾谷镰刀菌红色色素的产生有一定的抑制作用,其原因可能与腐霉的嗜糖性有关。5.田间结果表明,腐镰复合接种的发病率接近禾谷镰刀菌单菌接种,但低于腐霉单菌接种。     

基于DNA条形码技术对镰刀菌属的检测鉴定

为筛选合适的基因序列对镰刀菌属Fusarium真菌进行检测鉴定,以从不同寄主分离获得的11种57株镰刀菌为材料,选择nr DNA-ITS、EF-1α、mt SSU和β-tubulin作为候选基因,将序列获得的难易程度和种内与种间遗传距离频率分布作为评价指标,对测序获得的有效序列进行研究,筛选出该属的DNA条形码。结果表明:EF-1α基因具有较高的PCR扩增与测序成功率,为98.2%,较mt SSU和β-tubulin基因更容易获得序列片段;且种内与种间遗传距离重叠部分较少,除木贼镰刀菌F.equiseti种内遗传距离为0.029,大于黄色镰刀菌F.culmorum和禾谷镰刀菌F.graminearum种间遗传距离0.021外,种间差异明显大于种内差异,优于其它基因,能更好地区分镰刀菌;利用EF-1α基因序列构建的系统发育树显示,相同种聚集在同一分支,不同种划分在不同分支,鉴别能力较好;EF-1α基因不能扩增出其它6株非镰刀菌属的主要植物病原真菌,而对镰刀菌的PCR扩增效果很好,电泳检测结果条带单一、明亮。表明EF-1α基因可作为镰刀菌属鉴定的DNA条形码。

稻瘟病菌ABC转运蛋白基因中 SSR的分布及其功能预测

 ABC转运蛋白在真菌的致病性方面起着重要的作用。本研究查找和分析了稻瘟病菌基因组中47个ABC转运蛋白基因的外显子区、内含子区、5′-UTR和3′-UTR区中的SSR,并对编码区中SSR的扩张或收缩对蛋白结构的影响进行了预测。结果表明,SSR在这些基因的调控区和编码区分布不均一,且在基因的外显子区、内含子区、5′-UTR和3′-UTR区中SSR的组成和分布均不相同;基因的编码区中三碱基和六碱基SSR相对较多,SSR的基序大都表现为GC含量较高,编码的亲水性氨基酸出现频率远远高于疏水性氨基酸。根据稻瘟病菌自然群体中SSR的变化幅度,预测了SSR的扩张或收缩对蛋白二级结构的影响,发现SSR的扩张或收缩都可能对蛋白的结构产生影响。暗示着SSR的变异在致病相关基因的变异中可能扮演着重要角色。     

禾谷镰刀菌对苯基吡咯类杀菌剂咯菌腈的抗性机制

由禾谷镰刀菌引起的小麦赤霉病是世界小麦生产上的重要真菌病害。为了进一步明确禾谷镰刀菌对苯基吡咯类杀菌剂咯菌腈产生抗性的机制,本文以前期室内通过药剂驯化方式得到的4株禾谷镰刀菌对咯菌腈的高水平抗性突变体 (其抗性倍数在318.2~782.9之间) 为主要研究材料,采用生物测定及分子生物学等方法开展了禾谷镰刀菌对咯菌腈的抗性机制研究。结果表明:供试禾谷镰刀菌抗咯菌腈突变体对小麦幼穗的致病力降低了约50%,部分菌株 (2XZ-4R) 甚至完全丧失了对小麦的致病能力;抗性突变体对渗透胁迫 (0.5 mol/L NaCl, 1.0 mol/L MgCl₂, 1.0 mol/L葡萄糖或1.0 mol/L甘露醇) 高度敏感,且菌丝生长抑制率较敏感菌株降低约50%以上,表明其环境适合度显著下降。同时,抗性突变体中苯丙氨酸解氨酶 (PAL)、过氧化物酶 (POD) 和多酚氧化酶 (PPO) 活性较敏感菌株均升高2倍以上。分子生物学分析发现,供试抗性突变体中候选靶标基因 (FgOs1和FgOs5) 的表达量显著下调 (P<0.05),推测FgOs1和FgOs5可能参与了禾谷镰刀菌对咯菌腈抗性的形成过程。总之,该研究探究了禾谷镰刀菌抗咯菌腈突变体的生物学特性,并为深入揭示禾谷镰刀菌对咯菌腈的抗性分子机制提供了新的思路。     

镰刀菌对大蒜根系分泌物的敏感性与其致病力相关分析

试验采用菌丝生长速率法测定了大蒜根系分泌物对3种供试植物病原镰刀菌的抑菌活性, 并进一步分析了18株从腐烂蒜瓣上分离的尖孢镰刀菌和12株从小麦赤霉病样分离的禾谷镰刀菌对大蒜根系分泌物的敏感性及致病力之间的关系。研究结果表明, 大蒜根系分泌物对供试镰刀菌均具有抑制活性, 但从腐烂蒜瓣上分离的尖孢镰刀菌对根系分泌物的敏感性低于其他菌株。致病力分析结果表明, 供试的18株尖孢镰刀菌均能使蒜瓣发病, 但致病力与其对根系分泌物的敏感性无明显相关性; 供试的禾谷镰刀菌中对根系分泌物不敏感的4株菌株能侵染蒜瓣, 但敏感性高的菌株不能侵染蒜瓣, 且根系分泌物对禾谷镰刀菌的抑制率与禾谷镰刀菌致病力之间呈显著的负相关。这表明大蒜根系分泌抑菌物质是根系抵御镰刀菌侵染的重要机制, 但一些菌株能对根系分泌物产生抗性, 从而侵染大蒜。综上所述, 大蒜根系分泌物对镰刀菌具有抑制活性, 可以利用大蒜和其他作物间作或轮作控制镰刀菌枯萎病的发生和蔓延, 但长期利用大蒜轮作或间作控制土传病害可能面临镰刀菌对大蒜根系分泌物产生抗性, 导致防效降低的风险。     

禾谷镰刀菌中硝基单加氧酶的功能分析

 硝基单加氧酶(nitronate monooxygenase, NMO)将硝基烷烃氧化成相应的羰基化合物和亚硝酸盐。尽管硝基单加氧酶的生化特性在少数真菌中得到了深入解析,但是在植物病原真菌中关于其生物学功能的报道很少。本研究通过同源比对,在禾谷镰刀菌(Fusarium graminearium)中鉴定到了5个硝基单加氧酶,利用基因敲除获得了相应的单敲突变体。通过表型分析发现,基因缺失突变体ΔFgNMO1-5的生长速率、菌落形态以及致病力与野生型相比均未发生明显变化,说明硝基单加氧酶之间存在部分功能冗余。突变体ΔFgNMO1、ΔFgNMO4和ΔFgNMO5的分生孢子产量降低了约50%。通过融合绿色荧光蛋白进行功能回补发现,禾谷镰刀菌中这5个硝基单加氧酶在细胞内发挥催化功能的场所存在差异。

基于转录组数据的印度谷螟微卫星位点分析

基于印度谷螟转录组测序数据筛选其功能微卫星(EST-SSR)分子标记,设计该虫的微卫星(SSR)引物并验证其适用性。用MicroSAtellite微卫星搜索软件查找印度谷螟转录组中微卫星的数量、重复次数以及所有微卫星的位置信息,采用Primer Premier 5软件设计SSR引物,并进行PCR验证。结果表明含EST-SSR的序列3 173个,占总搜索序列的8.52%,平均每13kb中就出现1个EST-SSR。共发现192种微卫星类型,其中重复单元为单碱基、二碱基和三碱基的比例较高,依次是28.21%、39.84%、25.43%。除单碱基重复单元外,出现频率最高的是AT/AT,有593次。在66对印度谷螟EST-SSR引物中,有28对PCR扩增成功。这说明基于印度谷螟转录组数据开发微卫星标记是可行的,本研究获得的印度谷螟EST-SSR位点为今后开展该虫的种群遗传学研究提供了基础数据。     

稻瘟菌无毒基因AVR-Pikm的定位

 无毒基因是病原物中决定寄主抗病性表达与否的功能基因,其功能的丧失导致毒性小种的产生。在先前的研究中,本研究小组从稻瘟病菌中分离了与无毒基因AVR-Pik^m连锁的2个SCAR标记SCO12₉₄₆和SCE12₁₄₀₆。在本研究中,作者首先通过TAC克隆末端核苷酸序列的测定及其与70-15全基因组序列的比较,将这2个标记定位到稻瘟菌第1号染色体上;然后,利用稻瘟菌70-15全基因组草图序列和SSR技术,又分离了与无毒基因AVR-Pik^m连锁的4个SSR标记:SSR47T34、SSR50CA24、SSR52TAGG18和SSR56A28。进一步分析表明:上述4个SSR标记位于与SCO12₉₄₆和SCE12₁₄₀₆相反的一侧,与AVR-Pik^m位点的遗传距离分别为4.90、7.01、19.12和21.94cM,无毒基因AVR-Pik^m位于SCE12₁₄₀₆和SSRA7T34之间。本研究获得的稻瘟菌无毒基因AVR-Pik^m的精细定位为通过染色体步移克隆该基因奠定了基础。     

Assessing new SSR markers for utility and informativeness in genetic studies of brown rust fungi on wheat,triticale, and rye

The aim of the present study was to validate new simple-sequence repeat (SSR) markers and use them to assess genetic variability among 24 isolates of Puccinia triticina collected from wheat (Pt-wheat) and triticale (Pt-triticale), and 15 isolates of P. recondita f. sp. secalis (Prs) collected from rye. The Pt and Prs isolates were tested for virulence on a set of 35 Thatcher wheat near-isogenic lines, eight rye lines with known resistance genes, and 53 triticale cultivars with uncharacterized leaf rust resistance. Molecular genotypes were determined using a newly developed set of 34 SSR microsatellite primer pairs. All SSR markers tested on Pt isolates successfully amplified fragments of appropriate size. When tested on the Prs isolates, 21 out of the 34 Pt SSRs amplified expected fragments. Sixteen of these 21 SSRs were polymorphic, providing for the first time microsatellite markers to study genetic variation in Prs. Based on virulence data, variation among Prs isolates was low, probably due to the small number of rye differential lines available. Much higher variation for virulence was observed within the collection of Pt isolates from wheat and triticale, and two separate groups were established with mixed host origin. Substantial genetic variation was detected among the isolates studied with the SSR markers, assuming two different models of SSR evolution (infinite alleles model and stepwise mutation model). The newly developed set of SSR markers proved their effectiveness in detecting genetic variation and should be useful in further population genetics investigations of the two pathogens.     

Analysis of Variable Short-sequence DNA Repeats on the 29 kb Plasmid of Erwinia amylovora Strains

The fire blight pathogen Erwinia amylovora has been specifically and sensitively detected by PCR assays with primers derived from plasmid pEa29. The amplified fragment of approximately 1kb can vary in length for individual strains, easily seen in a digest with restriction enzymes Sau3A or HpaII. DNA fragments from this variable region were cloned and DNA sequence analysis revealed short-sequence DNA repeat (SSR) motifs which were reiterated to various extents. The SSR units consisted of eight nucleotides (ATTACAGA), and terminated with ATTA which is part of an SSR. The shortest repetition consisted of four units and the longest one in Austrian E. amylovora strains was 15 units. The number of SSR units was remarkably stable during propagation of strains, but was occasionally changed when a strain was stressed by exposure to antibiotics, copper sulphate or storage at low temperature. Changes in the SSR number could be due to adjustment in bacterial fitness to environmental pressure. We designed oligonucleotide PCR primers from DNA sequences adjacent to the SSR region of pEA29 for rapid analysis of SSR length variations. With this PCR assay, more than 130 strains were classified into at least 11 types based on the number of repeats. E. amylovora strains isolated in Germany carried mostly six repeats in pEA29, which never changed under laboratory conditions. E. amylovora strains from Hungary and the Netherlands were quite divergent for the SSRs and further changes were sometimes observed after plating on agar medium. Homology search of nucleotide sequence data libraries revealed similarities of the SSR motif to partition functions of low copy number plasmids. Amino acid homology searches showed similarity of the deduced amino acid sequence in the ORF adjacent to the SSR motif to replication proteins of plasmids. The SSR may play a role in regulation of plasmid replication and partition as assumed for iterons.     

Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of variation in Fusarium species causing ear blight of cereals

Genetic variation in Fusarium species on wheat was investigated using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. Single-spore lines (76) of Fusarium were recovered from 24 ears of wheat in a field plot exhibiting severe symptoms of Fusarium ear blight and identified using classical taxonomic criteria. Four Fusarium species were present, of which F. avenaceum and F. culmorum were predominant with F. lateritium and F. poae present in two ears and one ear, respectively. RFLP analysis using rDNA (pTA71) or total genomic DNA from an F. culmorum isolate clearly distinguished the four species. Genetic fingerprints of the isolates generated using DNA of bacteriophage M13 (which contains a mini-satellite repeat sequence) revealed considerable variation within three of the four species (except F. poae). Generally, only a single clone was recovered from each ear and in all but one case only a single species was obtained from each spikelet. However, in several instances it appeared that more than one clone of a species was present within a single spikelet.     

Restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing allows for the rapid identification of simple sequence repeat markers in Echinochloa crus‐galli

Echinochloa crus‐galli is a serious weed worldwide. Microsatellite markers (simple sequence repeats, SSRs) are important molecular markers that are used widely for studying genetic diversity in plants. However, a limited number of SSRs is available for E. crus‐galli. The restriction site‐associated DNA (RAD) sequencing approach was combined with Illumina DNA sequencing for the rapid and mass detection of SSRs in E. crus‐galli. The RAD tags were generated from the genomic DNA of E. crus‐galli and were sequenced in order to produce 6921.6 Mb of high‐quality sequences with 45.1% guanine–cytosine content. In total, 3081 putative SSRs were detected, of which 82.2% were dinucleotide motif‐repeats. AT was the most frequent motif, accounting for 35.0% of the SSRs. In order to test the validity of the SSRs that were developed here, eight SSRs that were selected from putative SSRs were used to study the genetic diversity and structures of 20 E. crus‐galli populations that had been collected from rice fields in eastern China. Ninety‐seven alleles were amplified from the eight microsatellite loci among the 20 E. crus‐galli populations. These populations showed low genetic diversity and were classified on the basis of their genetic structures into three distinct groups that corresponded to the three regions of population sampling. The SSRs that were identified in this study represent a valuable resource for studying the genetic diversity, population biology and evolution of E. crus‐galli.     

Geographic distribution and genetic diversity of Fusarium graminearum and F. asiaticum on wheat spikes throughout China

A large number of Fusarium graminearum and F. asiaticum isolates were collected from wheat spikes from all regions in China with a history of fusarium head blight (FHB) epidemics. Isolates were analysed to investigate their genetic diversity and geographic distribution. Sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) analyses of 437 isolates resolved both species, with 21% being F. graminearum (SCAR type 1) and 79% being F. asiaticum (SCAR type 5). AFLP profiles clearly resolved two groups, A and B, that were completely congruent with both species. However, more diversity was detected by AFLP, revealing several subgroups within each group. In many cases, even for isolates from the same district, AFLP haplotypes differed markedly. Phylogenetic analyses of multilocus DNA sequence data indicated that all isolates of SCAR type 1, AFLP group A were F. graminearum , whilst isolates of SCAR type 5, AFLP group B were F. asiaticum , demonstrating that it is an efficient method for differentiating these two species. Both species seem to have different geographic distributions within China. Fusarium graminearum was mainly obtained from wheat growing in the cooler regions where the annual average temperature was 15°C or lower. In contrast, the vast majority of F. asiaticum isolates were collected from wheat growing in the warmer regions where the annual average temperature is above 15°C and where FHB epidemics occur most frequently. This is the first report of the distribution of, and genetic diversity within, F. graminearum and F. asiaticum on wheat spikes throughout China.
