A smut-like disease was found on the leaves of Sagittaria latifolia in Japan. Spore balls collected from the leaves of S. latifolia and S. trifolia var. edulis were used to cross-inoculate leaves of pathogen-free plants of the two species to identify the pathogen. Spots and swellings
formed on leaves of the two species 10 days after inoculation. These symptoms were quite similar to those of the leaf smut
disease of S. trifolia var. edulis caused by Doassansia horiana, and the spore balls were characteristic of the fungus. Therefore, the authors conclude that D. horiana caused leaf smut disease on S. latifolia.

The tomato pathotype of Alternaria alternata (A. arborescens) produces the dark brown to black pigment melanin, which accumulates in the cell walls of hyphae and conidia. Melanin has
been implicated as a pathogenicity factor in some phytopathogenic fungi. Here, two genes of the tomato pathotype for melanin
biosynthesis, ALM1 and BRM2-1, which encode a polyketide synthetase and a 1,3,8-trihydroxynaphthalene (THN) reductase, respectively, have been cloned and
disrupted in the pathogen. The gene-disrupted mutants, alm1 and brm2-1, had albino and brown phenotypes, respectively. The wild-type and the mutants caused the same necrotic lesions on the leaves
after inoculation with spores. These results suggest that melanin is unlikely to play a direct role in pathogenicity in the
tomato pathotype A. alternata. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the conidia of both mutants have much smoother surfaces in comparison to the
wild-type. The conidia of those mutants were more sensitive to UV light than those of the wild-type, demonstrating that melanin
confers UV tolerance. 相似文献

A severe outbreak of southern blight disease of China aster was observed during the post rainy season (September–November 2015) in the Mysore and Mandya Districts of Karnataka, Southern India. The disease incidence ranged between 12 and 47%. The typical disease symptoms include water-soaked lesions on leaves, stems and on the lower stem surfaces followed by quick wilting of the whole plant with abundant production of sclerotia near the stem-soil interface. The associated fungal pathogen was isolated on potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium, on which numerous reddish-brown sclerotia were seen. A total of 26 fungal isolates were isolated and studied for the mycelial compatibility. Isolate SrCCM 1 was used for pathogenicity analysis. The results of the study showed that, there was no variation among the isolates tested. Molecular identification of the pathogen by ITS-rDNA sequences of S. rolfsii showed 100% similarity with reference sequences. Based on the cultural, morphological and molecular characteristics, the fungal pathogen was identified as Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. (Sexual morph: Athelia rolfsii (Curzi) C.C. Tu & Kimbr). Pathogenicity tests were performed on healthy leaves, roots and stems. Typical disease symptoms on leaves, stems and roots were evident after 5, 8 and 10 days of post-inoculation. Sclerotium rolfsii is known to cause diseases in economically important crop plants. However, no reports are available on the occurrence of S. rolfsii on China aster in India. 相似文献

Severe rot of leaves, peduncles and flowers caused by Gibberella zeae (anamorph: Fusarium
graminearum) was found on potted plants of hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis), a liliaceous ornamental, in greenhouses in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, in January 2001. This disease was named “Fusarium
rot of hyacinth” as a new disease because only the anamorph, F.
graminearum, was identified on the diseased host plant.

In vitro detached leaf assays involving artificial inoculation of wounded and unwounded oat and wheat leaves were used to investigate
the potential pathogenicity and aggressiveness of F. langsethiae, which was linked recently to the production of type A trichothecenes, HT-2 and T-2 in cereals in Europe. In the first two
experiments, two assays compared disease development by F. langsethiae with known fusarium head blight pathogen species each used as a composited inoculum (mixture of isolates) at 10°C and 20°C
and found all fungal species to be pathogenic to oat and wheat leaves in the wounded leaf assay. In the unwounded leaf assay,
F. langsethiae was not pathogenic to wheat leaves. Furthermore, there were highly significant differences in the aggressiveness of pathogens
as measured by lesion length (P < 0.001). In the second two experiments, pathogenicity of individual F. langsethiae isolates previously used in the composite inoculum was investigated on three oat and three wheat varieties. The wounded leaf
assay showed that all isolates were pathogenic to all oat and wheat varieties but only pathogenic towards oat varieties in
the unwounded assay. Highly significant differences (P < 0.001) in lesion length were found between cereal varieties as well as between isolates in the wounded assay. Significant
differences in lesion lengths (P = 0.014) were also observed between isolates in the unwounded assay. Results from the detached leaf assays suggest that F. langsethiae is a pathogen of wheat and oats and may have developed some host preference towards oats. 相似文献

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been implicated in many stress conditions. Control of H2O2 levels is complex and dissection of mechanisms generating and relieving H2O2 stress is difficult, particularly in intact plants. Here the role of the mycorrhizal inoculation in chili plants challenged
with Phytophthora capsici was investigated to study the effect on hypersensitive response. In the treatment without mycorrhiza (treatment T3) and with
mycorrhiza (considered treatment T4) visible disorders were detected two days after inoculation with P. capsici, but in the next days T3 plants rapidly developed 25% more necrotic lesions on the leaves than T4 plants. Leaf necrosis correlated
with H2O2 accumulation and the greater damage observed in T3 plants coincided with larger accumulation of H2O2 after 12 h of inoculation accompanied with an increase in POX (peroxidase) and SOD (superoxide dismutase) activity. T4-infected
and mycorrhizal plants exhibited an earlier accumulation of H2O2 starting 6 h after inoculation with lower levels compared to T3 plants. Correlated with observed damage, POX and SOD activity
measured in T4 plants indirectly suggest a smaller accumulation of ROS (reactive oxygen species) leading to a decrease in
the wounds observed and slightly diminishing the advance of the pathogen. According to these findings, we conclude that mycorrhizal
colonization contributes significantly in maintaining the redox balance during oxidative stress, but the exact mechanism is
still uncertain. 相似文献

In July 2006, black rot was observed on the leaves of 4-leaf-stage seedlings of salt-wort (Salsola komarovii) in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. We isolated two single-conidial isolates from the diseased leaves. Although colony appearance
of the isolates was different from that of each other, both isolates were identified as Colletotrichum truncatum by morphology and molecular similarity. After inoculation of healthy salt-wort plants with the isolates, the isolates were
reisolated from symptomatic plants. We thus propose a new disease, anthracnose of salt-wort. 相似文献

The interaction between Alternaria dauci and two carrot cultivars differing in their resistance to leaf blight was investigated by microscopy. The fungal development
between 1 and 15 days post-inoculation was quite similar in the susceptible cv. Presto and the partially resistant cv. Texto:
After conidial germination, leaf adhesion of the pathogen was achieved with mucilaginous filaments; hyphae penetrated the
leaves directly with/without the formation of appressoria-like structures or via stomata; the fungus spread by epiphytic hyphae with hyphopodia and subcuticular mycelia. Intense necrotic plant cell reactions
occurred under the fungal structures. At 21 days post-inoculation, typical features of fungal development were noted for each
cultivar: growing hyphae emerged from stomata in cv. Presto, whereas conidiophores without conidia were observed in cv. Texto.
Leaf tissues of both cultivars were strongly damaged and vesicle-like structures (assumed to be plant phenolics) were abundantly
present between mesophyll cells. A real-time PCR method was developed for in planta quantification of A. dauci. Between 1 and 15 days post-inoculation, the fungal biomass was equivalent in the two cultivars and was about fourfold higher
in cv. Presto than cv. Texto at 21 and 25 days post-inoculation. Taken together, our results indicated that A. dauci was able to colonize both cultivars in a similar manner during the first steps of the interaction, then fungal development
in the partially resistant cultivar was restricted due to putative plant defence reactions. The results of this study enhance
the overall understanding of infection processes in the A. dauci-carrot pathosystem. 相似文献

A new disorder exhibiting flower crinkle on Phalaenopsis orchids bearing white flowers has been observed in Taiwan, China and Japan for several years. This disorder decreased the
flower longevity and was considered as a physiological syndrome. The objective of this study was to identify and characterize
the real causal agent of this new Phalaenopsis disorder. Five plants of Phalaenopsis hybrids “V3” (Phal. Yukimai × Phal. Taisuco Kochdian) with flower crinkle symptoms were collected and tested by enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay with antisera against 18 viruses. The extract of leaves and flowers from one diseased plant (96-Ph-16)
reacted positively only to antiserum against Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV), while those from the other four plants (96-Ph-7, 96-Ph-17, 96-Ph-18 and 96-Ph-19) reacted positively to the antisera
against ORSV and Cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV). Five ORSV isolates, one each from flowers of those five diseased Phalaenopsis orchids, were established in Chenopodium quinoa. A CymMV culture was isolated from the flowers of one of the ORSV/CymMV mix-infected Phalaenopsis orchids (96-Ph-19). To determine the causal agent of the flower crinkle disease, healthy Phalaenopsis seedlings were singly or doubly inoculated with the isolated ORSV and/or CymMV. Results of back inoculation indicated that
ORSV is the sole causal agent of the crinkle symptom on petals of Phalaenopsis orchid. The CP gene of the ORSV isolates from this study shared 97.3–100% nucleotide identity and 96.2–100% amino acid identity
with those of 41 ORSV isolates available in GenBank. This is the first report demonstrating ORSV as the sole virus causing
flower crinkle disease on Phalaenopsis orchids. 相似文献

Bacterial fruit blotch of cucurbits is a destructive disease caused by Acidovorax avenae subsp. citrulli, which is a typical seedborne pathogen. In seed health testing for this disease, we have detected many strains of Acidovorax with some differences from A. avenae subsp. citrulli. Their 16S rRNA sequences were divided into six types. The most common sequence was completely consistent with that of A. avenae subsp. avenae originally isolated from rice. The other sequences were over 99% similar but not identical to those of A. avenae subsp. avenae and A. avenae subsp. citrulli. Some commercialized antibodies against A. avenae subsp. citrulli reacted with several of these strains. Some of these strains incited yellow spots or brownish water-soaked lesions mainly
on young true leaves of cucumber and squash after spray inoculation. Histological observations showed that these strains entered
the leaf tissues of cucurbit plants through stomata and multiplied in the intercellular spaces of parenchymatous tissues as
well as in the vascular tissues. The amount of bacterial multiplication and spread in the tissues differed among the strains,
presumably reflecting their ability to induce symptoms. These isolated strains are therefore different from A. avenae subsp. citrulli, and their potential threat to the cultivation of cucurbits is lower than that of A. avenae subsp. citrulli. 相似文献

Viral movement in the leaf tissues of a resistant host, Cucumis figarei, inoculated with the pepo strain of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and incubated at 24°C or 36°C was investigated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), leaf-press blotting, tissue printing and immunogold-silver staining techniques. Observation by FISH
revealed that at 24°C most infection sites with CMV at 0.01 mg/ml or 0.1 mg/ml were limited to a single cell during the incubation
period, that the number of infection sites increased from 24hpi (hours post inoculation) to 80 hpi in the leaves inoculated
with CMV at 0.5 mg/ml, and that the size as well as the number of infection sites rapidly increased with time in the leaves
inoculated with CMV at 2.0 mg/ml. These results suggested that one factor for the resistance of C. figarei at 24°C might be an inhibition of viral movement in and out of the infection sites. Leaf-press blotting and tissue blotting
indicated that CMV remained in the infection sites at 24°C, whereas it spread from the inoculated leaves to other parts of
the plants through vascular systems at 36°C. Immunogold-silver staining demonstrated that at 24°C CMV infected bundle sheath
(BS) cells in minor veins, whereas at 36°C it invaded not only BS cells, but also phloem parenchyma (PP)/ companion cell (CC)
or PP/intermediary cell (IC) complexes in minor veins in the regions with chlorotic symptoms. These results indicated that
at 24°C CMV had difficulty in passing through the interface between BS and PP/CC or PP/ IC complexes and that viral entry
from mesophyll to the phloem pathway was inhibited in the inoculated leaves.

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was isolated from a mosaic diseased plant of Eucharis grandiflora. The virus caused mosaic symptoms on leaves and slight distortion of flower petals in E. grandiflora by either mechanical or aphid inoculation. The virus was identified as a strain of CMV subgroup I from its biological and serological characteristics. 相似文献

The plasmid pUFZ75 conferred constitutive GFP expression on the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas euvesicatoria (syn. X. campestris pv. vesicatoria). Colonisation of the tomato phyllosphere and invasion of tomato leaves by X. euvesicatoria was examined using both fluorescence and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Xanthomonas euvesicatoria established a limited population on the tomato leaf surface, primarily occupying the depressions between epidermal cells
and around the stomata, prior to invasion of the leaf via the stomata and subsequent growth within the substomatal chamber
and the leaf apoplast. Additionally, hrp-gfp fusions were used to report on the temporal and spatial expression of hrp genes during epiphytic colonisation and invasion. Xanthomonas euvesicatoria cells carrying hrpG- and hrpX-gfp reporter constructs were not fluorescent in vitro on non-hrp-inducing LB agar but did exhibit a low level of fluorescence on the leaf surface within 24 h of inoculation, particularly
in the vicinity of stomata. Cells carrying hrpG- and hrpX-gfp fusions exhibited high levels of fluorescence 72 h after inoculation in the substomatal chamber and the leaf apoplast. Cells
carrying the hrpF-gfp fusion were slightly fluorescent on LB agar and showed no further increase in fluorescence on the leaf surface by 24 h after
inoculation, but did show a significant increase in fluorescence 72 h after inoculation in the substomatal chamber and apoplast.
The apparent low-level induction of the regulators hrpG and hrpX on the tomato leaf surface may suggest that some of the genes of the X. euvesicatoria HrpG/HrpX regulon are up- or down-regulated prior to invasion of the stomata while still on the leaf surface. 相似文献

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) is the causal pathogen of Fusarium wilt of banana. To understand infection of banana roots by Foc race 4, we developed a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged transformant and studied pathogenesis using fluorescence microscopy
and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The transformation was efficient, and GFP expression was stable for at least six subcultures
with fluorescence clearly visible in both hyphae and spores. The transformed Foc isolate also retained its pathogenicity and growth pattern, which was similar to that of the wild type. The study showed
that: (i) Foc race 4 was capable of invading the epidermal cells of banana roots directly; (ii) potential invasion sites include epidermal
cells of root caps and elongation zone, and natural wounds in the lateral root base; (iii) in banana roots, fungal hyphae
were able to penetrate cell walls directly to grow inside and outside cells; and (iv) fungal spores were produced in the root
system and rhizome. To better understand the interaction between Foc race 4 and bananas, nine banana cultivars were inoculated with the GFP-transformed pathogen. Root exudates from these cultivars
were collected and their effect on conidia of the GFP-tagged Foc race 4 was determined. Our results showed that roots of the Foc race 4-susceptible banana plants were well colonized with the pathogen, but not those of the Foc race 4-resistant cultivars. Root exudates from highly resistant cultivars inhibited the germination and growth of the Fusarium
wilt pathogen; those of moderately resistant cultivars reduced spore germination and hyphal growth, whereas the susceptible
cultivars did not affect fungal germination and growth. The results of this work demonstrated that GFP-tagged Foc race 4 isolates are an effective tool to study plant–fungus interactions that could potentially be used for evaluating resistance
in banana to Foc race 4 by means of root colonization studies. Banana root exudates could potentially also be used to identify cultivars in
the Chinese Banana Germplasm Collection with resistance to the Fusarium wilt pathogen. 相似文献

Bread wheat (BW) and durum wheat (DW) are both strongly affected by Septoria tritici blotch caused by the hemibiotrophic fungus Zymoseptoria tritici. However, only the BW-Z. tritici pathosystem has been well studied so far. Here, we compared compatible interactions between Z. tritici and both BW and DW species at the cytological, biochemical and molecular levels. Fungal infection process investigations showed close spore germination and leaf penetration features in both interactions, although differences in the patterns of these events were observed. During the necrotrophic phase, disease severity and sporulation levels were associated in both interactions with increases of the two cell-wall degrading enzyme activities endo-β-1,4-xylanase and endo-β-1,3-glucanase as well as protease. An analysis of plant defense responses during the first five days post inoculation revealed inductions of GLUC, Chi4, POX and PAL and a repression of LOX gene expressions in both wheat species, although differences in kinetics and levels of induction or repression were observed. In addition, peroxidase, catalase, glucanase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and lipoxygenase activities were induced in both wheat species, while only weak accumulations of hydrogen peroxide and polyphenols were detected at the fungal penetration sites. Our study revealed overall a similarity in Z. tritici infection process and triggered wheat defense pathways on both pathosystems. 相似文献

Leaves of tomato and barley were inoculated with conidia of Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei race 1 (R1) or Oidium neolycopersici (KTP-01) to observe cytological responses in search of resistance to powdery mildew. Both conidia formed appressoria at similar rates on tomato or barley leaves, indicating that no resistance was expressed during the prepenetration stage of these fungi. On R1-inoculated tomato leaves, appressoria penetrated the papillae, but subsequent haustorium formation was inhibited by hypersensitive necrosis in the invaded epidermal cells. On the other hand, KTP-01 (pathogenic to tomato leaves) successfully developed functional haustoria in epidermal cells to elongate secondary hyphae, although the hyphal elongation from some conidia was later suppressed by delayed hypersensitive necrosis in some haustorium-harboring epidermal cells. Thus, the present study indicated that the resistance of tomato to powdery mildew fungi was associated with a hypersensitive response in invaded epidermal cells but not the prevention of fungal penetration through host papilla. 相似文献

Trichoderma harzianum is an effective biocontrol agent against the devastating plant pathogen Rhizoctonia solani. Despite its wide application in agriculture, the mechanisms of biocontrol are not yet fully understood. Mycoparasitism and
antibiosis are suggested, but may not be sole cause of disease reduction. In the present study, we investigated the role of
oxidant-antioxidant metabolites in the root apoplast of sunflower challenged by R. solani in the presence/absence of T. harzianum NBRI-1055. Analysis of oxidative stress response revealed a reduction in hydroxyl radical concentration (•OH; 3.6 times) at 9 days after pathogen inoculation (dapi), superoxide anion radical concentration (O2•−; 4.1 times) at 8 dapi and hydrogen peroxide concentration (H2O2; 2.7 times) levels at 7 dapi in plants treated with spent maize-cob formulation of T. harzianum NBRI-1055 (MCFT), as compared to pathogen-inoculated plants. The protection afforded by the biocontrol agent was associated
with the accumulation of the ROS gene network: the catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx)
and ascorbate peroxidase (APx), maximum activity of CAT (11.0 times) was observed at 8 dapi, SOD (7.0 times) at 7 dapi, GPx
(5.4 times) and APx (8.1 times) at 7 dapi in MCFT-treated plants challenged with the pathogen. This was further supported
by the inhibition of lipid and protein oxidation in Trichoderma-inoculated plants. MCFT stimulated the accumulation of secondary metabolites of phenolic nature that increased up to five-fold
and also exhibited strong antioxidant activity at 8 dapi, eventually leading to the systemic accumulation of phytoalexins.
These results suggest that T. harzianum–mediated biocontrol may be related to alleviating R. solani-induced oxidative stress. 相似文献

Nectria flute canker is a disease of Pinus radiata stems caused by the pathogen Neonectria fuckeliana occurring in the southern parts of New Zealand. In Northern Hemisphere countries where N. fuckeliana is endemic, it is commonly found in Picea and Abies spp. Open wounds, dead attached branches and branch stubs have been identified as the primary infection courts. Although
in New Zealand the development of Nectria flute canker disease is associated with pruned branch stubs, recent studies suggest
that this is not the only possible entry method as the fungus has been found in trees prior to pruning. Three field trials
were established to examine the potential infection mechanisms for N. fuckeliana in P. radiata in New Zealand; including stem wounds and branch stubs. The difference between inoculations into the stem and into branch
wood was clear. Inoculation of deep stem wounds resulted in the greatest fluting with 76% of trees inoculated developing cankers.
Inoculation directly into stubs resulted in only small stem depressions that occurred in 17% of cases and the fungus was largely
contained within the branch trace. Tree response to inoculation with either ascospores or conidia of the Acremonium anamorph gave similar results in terms of canker development and fungal spread within the stem. Tree response to inoculation
was highly variable however: in one study 6% of trees did not respond to inoculation at all, while 26% produced severe cankers
regardless of inoculation method. A more thorough understanding of the infection mechanisms of N. fuckeliana will contribute to the development of better disease management protocols to prevent infection and disease development in
future plantation stock. 相似文献

Countering the economic hurdle caused by coffee leaf rust disease is most appealing at this time as it has posed a major threat to coffee production around the world. Establishing differential expression profiles at different times following pathogen invasion in both innate and acquired immunities unlocks the molecular components of resistance and susceptibility. Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was used to identify genes differentially over-expressed and repressed during incompatible and compatible interactions between Coffea arabica and Hemileia vastatrix. From 433 clones of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) sequenced, 352 were annotated and categorized of which the proportion of genes expressed during compatible interaction were relatively smaller. The result showed upregulation and downregulation of various genes at 12 and 24 h after pathogen inoculation in both interactions. The use of four different databases in searching for gene homology resulted in different number of similar sequences. BLASTx against EMBL-EBI (European Molecular Biology Laboratory-European Bioinformatics Institute) database being with the maximum (100%) hits for all the annotated sequences. RT-qPCR analysis of seven resistance-signaling genes showed similar expression patterns for most of the genes in both interactions, indicating these genes are involved in basal (non-specific) defense during which immune reactions are similar. Using SSH, we identified different types of resistance related genes that could be used for further studies towards resistant cultivar development. The potential role of some of the resistance related proteins found were also discussed. 相似文献
