Occurrence of sulfonylurea resistance in Sagittaria trifolia,a basal monocot species,based on target‐site and non‐target‐site resistance

Sagittaria trifolia L. is one of the most serious weeds in paddy fields in Japan. Since the late 1990s, severe infestations of S. trifolia have occurred following applications of sulfonylurea herbicides in Akita prefecture. In this study, two accessions of S. trifolia, R1 and R2, were collected from paddy fields with severe infestations and their resistance profiles were determined in comparison to a susceptible accession, S1. R1 and R2 were highly resistant to bensulfuron‐methyl. R1 was also highly resistant to pyrazosulfuron‐ethyl, but R2 was susceptible. Relative to S1, R1 had an amino acid substitution at the Pro₁₉₇ residue of acetolactate synthase (ALS), a well‐known mutation that confers sulfonylurea resistance, suggesting that R1 has a target‐site‐based resistance (TSR) mechanism. The sequence of the ALS gene in R2 was identical to that in S1. A Southern blot analysis indicated that there was only one copy of the ALS gene in S1 and R2. These results suggest that R2 has a non‐target‐site‐based resistance (NTSR) mechanism. R2 was moderately resistant to imazosulfuron but susceptible to thifensulfuron‐methyl. R2 and S1 were susceptible to pretilachlor, benfuresate, MCPA‐ethyl and bentazon. The results reveal the occurrence of two sulfonylurea‐resistant biotypes of S. trifolia that show different mechanisms of cross‐resistance to sulfonylureas related to TSR in R1 and NTSR in R2.     

Growth and reproductive success of the seed‐derived plants of Sagittaria trifolia emerging at different times

In order to clarify the growth and reproductive success of seed‐derived Sagittaria trifolia individuals emerging at different times within a season, seeds were sown on May 16, June 16 and July 22 2010 and allowed to grow in pots under shaded and unshaded conditions. The timing of when the first inflorescence of each seedling appeared was recorded, as well as the number of seeds and tubers produced and the dry weight of each organ. In total, 220 seedlings were used, 23–59 in each treatment. As the sowing time was delayed, so too was the appearance of the first inflorescence. Additionally, the number of inflorescences, fruits and seeds produced by the unshaded plants significantly decreased with the sowing time. The total dry weight was significantly greater in the unshaded than in the shaded plants: the July‐sown, shaded plants grew very poorly. The relative resource allocation to the tubers was greater in the late‐emerging, shaded seedlings. Even in the shaded groups, except for the July‐sown plants, most of the plants set seed. Therefore, when addressing weed control in paddy fields, one should keep seedlings in mind, in addition to plants that have grown from tubers.     

转Cry1Ab/Ac基因水稻对稻田底栖动物群落的生态安全性

为探究转Bt基因抗虫水稻对稻田水生生物的安全性,以转Cry1Ab/Ac基因抗虫水稻华恢1号(HH1)为材料,其非转基因水稻亲本明恢63(MH63)为对照,以底栖动物群落为指示生物,运用群落学方法研究了湖南湘潭转Bt水稻对稻田底栖动物群落的影响。结果显示,2012年在HH1与MH63稻田中,分别采集到底栖动物37种和38种,二者共有物种31种,群落物种相似度为0.8267,优势种相似度为0.8235;2013年在HH1与MH63稻田中分别采集到底栖动物40种和41种,二者共有物种33种,群落物种相似度为0.8148,优势种相似度为0.9231;2012与2013年在HH1与MH63稻田生境中,物种丰富度、个体数量、群落多样性指数、均匀性指数与优势集中性指数的时间动态趋势一致,且均无显著差异。研究表明,连续2年稻田种植转Cry1Ab/Ac基因抗虫水稻HH1,在群落水平上对湖南湘潭地区稻田底栖动物无显著影响。     

Microsatellite variability of sulfonylurea‐resistant and susceptible populations of Schoenoplectus juncoides (Cyperaceae) in Kinki,Japan

Schoenoplectus juncoides is one of the most harmful weeds found in East Asian paddy fields. Recent emergence of biotypes that are resistant to the herbicide sulfonylurea (SU) has made weed control difficult. To examine the effect of the evolution of this herbicide resistance on genetic diversity within local populations, we investigated microsatellite variability within and among paddy field populations of S. juncoides in Kinki, Japan. In vivo assay of acetolactate synthase activity and root elongation assay in the presence of SU revealed that of 21 populations, five were sulfonylurea‐susceptible (SU‐S) and eight were completely sulfonylurea‐resistant (SU‐R). The remaining eight populations were a mixture of SU‐S and SU‐R individuals. The average gene diversity for SU‐R populations (H_S = 0.168) was lower than those for SU‐S (H_S = 0.256) and mixed (H_S = 0.209) populations, but the difference was not significant. This indicates that positive selection for SU‐R phenotype did not cause a genome‐wide reduction in genetic diversity. Genetic differentiation among S. juncoides populations was higher than that observed for most weed species studied previously. Although populations in neighbouring paddy fields showed a high level of differentiation, Bayesian clustering analyses suggested that some level of gene flow occurs among them and that the genetic exchange or colonisation between neighbouring populations could contribute to the geographical expansion of the resistant allele.     

A case study of infection of rice roots by deleterious fungi and minor pathogenic<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Pythium</Emphasis> species in a paddy field

Roots of rice plants grown in paddy fields in a transplant culture system were collected seven times between 8 and 22 weeks after transplanting, for two crop seasons. Rice seedlings grown in a potting medium amended with the collected roots were significantly shorter than those grown in the same medium either without the addition of the roots or amended with pasteurized, collected roots indicating that seedlings were inhibited by heat-labile microorganisms on the collected rice roots. Ninety-five and 172 pure cultures of Pythium spp. and fungi, respectively, were isolated from the rice roots collected 5 or 7.5 weeks after transplanting in the fields. Among these microorganisms, Pythium aristosporum inhibited seedling growth in greenhouse experiments, and Acremonium sp., Alternaria sp., Epicoccum nigrum, Fusarium sp., Massarina sp., Penicillium spp., Rhinocladiella sp., Stemphylium sp., Trichocladium sp., and several unidentified fungi inhibited seminal root growth in in vitro experiments. These microorganisms might be involved in the inhibition of seedling growth in soils amended with the rice roots collected from the paddy field. Thus, roots of rice plants at the middle stage of growth transplanted into paddy fields can harbor pathogenic or deleterious fungi or Pythium sp(p). The effects of these microorganisms on rice growth in paddy fields are discussed.     

Factors affecting weed seed germination and seedling growth in lowland rice in Indonesia

Experiments were carried out in Indonesia to see whether weeds of lowland rice fields could be managed by manipulation of the water table and what factors affected germination of their seeds. It was found that seeds of two Scirpus spp. germinated when buried in anaerobic soil but not when on the surface, whereas seeds of two Echinochloa spp. germinated when on the surface of both aerobic and anaerobic soils but when buried germinated only in aerobic soil. The germination of weed seeds was affected to differing extents by submergence in water at depths down to 20 cm. Germination of Fimbristylis littoralis seeds was greatly reduced and of Ludwigia hyssopifolia was complétély inhibited by submergence. Conversely, germination of Monochoria vaginalis seeds was virtually unaffected. It is suggested that the effect of submergence on germination of some species may be due to their reaction to the amplitude of temperature fluctuation. The germination and emergence of seedlings under water were greatly reduced by a cover of Salvinia molesta. The practical importance of these findings is discussed.     

Control of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Verticillium dahliae</Emphasis> at a strawberry nursery by paddy-upland rotation

Effects of crop rotation between rice paddy fields and strawberry nurseries on the control of Verticillium wilt of strawberry were studied. For detecting Verticillium dahliae, the causal agent of Verticillium wilt, in soil, eggplant was used as an indicator plant. We were thus able to detect as low as 1 microsclerotium/g dry soil. In field surveys of Chiba and Hokkaido from 2000 to 2003, V. dahliae was detected in 9 of 10 upland fields but in none of 21 paddy-upland fields. In Hokkaido during 2000–2007, strawberry mother plants were planted, and plantlets were produced in upland and paddy-upland fields to assess V. dahliae infestation. Verticillium wilt of strawberry had never occurred in 72 tested paddy-upland fields, compared to 13.2–73.9% of plantlets infected with V. dahliae in upland fields. In a pot experiment in a greenhouse, two flooding treatments or two paddy rice cultivations suppressed Verticillium wilt symptoms on eggplant. In field experiments, one paddy rice cultivation in Chiba and two in Hokkaido prevented development of Verticillium wilt symptoms on eggplant. Verticillium wilt of strawberry was controlled completely with one paddy rice cultivation in infested fields in Chiba. In these field experiments, the number of microsclerotia of V. dahliae decreased under the flooding conditions for paddy rice cultivation. Based on the reduction in microsclerotia, a crop rotation system with paddy rice for 3 years (three times), green manure for 1 year, and strawberry nursery for 1 year was designed for Hokkaido.     

Pollination of chasmogamous flowers and the effects of light and emergence time on chasmogamy and cleistogamy in Monochoria vaginalis

Monochoria vaginalis is one of the most serious weeds of rice fields in Asia. The species has both chasmogamous (CH) and cleistogamous (CL) flowers on individual plants. The objective of this study is to clarify the reproductive characteristics that affect the selfing rate of M. vaginalis. An emasculation experiment revealed that the CH flowers emasculated just after flower opening produced seeds. The seed production in the flowers emasculated just after flower opening was less than that of the flowers emasculated and hand‐pollinated with pollen from another plant. These results indicate that, although self‐pollination before anthesis occurs, cross‐pollination also can produce seeds. An experimental manipulation of light and the emergence time of the plants revealed that more than half of the flowers produced were CL flowers and the CH/CL ratio decreased with reduced light availability. The plants that emerged later produced as many CH flowers as those that emerged earlier. There was no significant difference between the CH and CL flowers in the seed number per fruit and the seed mass. These results suggest that M. vaginalis has reproductive characteristics that make the selfing rate high; however, outcrossing also can occur. Under favorable light intensity conditions, such as on the edges of paddy fields or in fallow fields, M. vaginalis will produce more CH flowers and will have a higher outcrossing rate than in shaded conditions.     

A survey of weed seed contamination of rice paddy in Cambodia

Cambodia has experienced a rapid shift from transplanted to hand broadcast seeded rice, with a consequent increase in seeding rates from 25–30 to 100–200 kg ha^?1. To reduce costs, farmers keep their own seed for sowing with the risk of greater weed seed contamination of the sowing seed. A survey of weed seed contamination in harvested rice paddy was conducted in two provinces of Cambodia (Battambang and Takeo) at the end of the wet season in 2016. Farmers were interviewed about rice‐seeding practices, and a total of 110 farmers' fresh paddy samples were inspected for weed seed contamination from the two provinces. Sowing seed samples collected from 28 seed producer lots and 71 samples of farmer‐kept seed were also analysed for weed seed contamination. In both provinces, the majority of farmers kept their own seed or bought seed from a neighbour. Farm‐kept seed for sowing accounted for 88% of sown seed in Battambang and 89% in Takeo. Seeds of 41 different weed species from 13 plant families were found in the farmers' freshly harvested paddy samples. Overall, farmers managed to reduce the number of weed propagules by 60% and seed producers by 95%. There was no significant difference between farmer‐kept seed and seed producer/seed company seed for the total number of weed seeds present. When shown photos, farmers' rankings of the 10 most common weed species found in freshly harvested paddy did not closely correspond to the actual weed seed frequency in the paddy. When farmers were asked to rank the frequency of weeds in their fields without the option to choose from a list, they ranked the weeds differently. Farmers ranked Ischaemum rugosum, Echinochloa spp. and Fimbristylis miliacea as the three most frequent weed species in their fields. The most frequent weeds in harvested paddy, apart from weedy rice, were I. rugosum and Melochia corchorifolia. Farmers did not rank M. corchorifolia as a frequently occurring weed, and most farmers could not recognise M. corchorifolia from photographs. The priority for improved seed hygiene is to place the emphasis on assisting farmers to further improve their seed purification techniques and to caution them to inspect seed before purchasing from neighbours, seed producers and seed companies in the absence of the implementation of seed certification regulation.     

Genes related to flooding tolerance during germination and early growth of weedy rice

Evolution of flooding tolerance in weedy rice has occurred in several rice-growing regions, but the genes related to this process and the environmental effects are unknown. The objective of this study was to analyse the expression of genes related to flooding tolerance in response to temperature and flooding during the initial establishment of weedy rice. The experiments were carried out with rice cultivars IRGA 417 and Nipponbare, which are sensitive to flooding, and weedy rice ITJ03 and AV04 genotypes that have high and intermediate tolerance to flooding, respectively. The expression of genes related to reserve mobilisation, anaerobic respiration, escape and quiescence strategies was analysed at periods up to 24 days after sowing. The flooding tolerance of weedy rice genotype ITJ03 was associated with the expression of RAmy3D and OsTPP7 , which are involved in the mobilisation of carbohydrate reserves, ADH1 and ADH2, which participate in anaerobic respiration, and SNRKL1 that triggers rapid elongation of the coleoptile and emergence. Although the genes PDC1, SUS3 and SUB1 are important for flooding tolerance in cultivated rice, their expression was not directly related to flooding tolerance in weedy rice. A temperature of 20°C reduced levels of expression of the RAmy3D, ADH2 and SNRKL1 genes and low temperature had a negative effect on the establishment of weedy rice. Breeding of rice genotypes with tolerance of low temperatures and anaerobic conditions may be a viable strategy to improve the control of weedy rice in paddy fields.     

稻田生态系统蜘蛛种群动态的初步研究

自1977～1978年间,在广西北部和中部地区,调查了11个县13个公社的部分山区、平原稻田蜘蛛种类。经鉴定,有11科28种,其中分布普遍数量较多的有球腹蛛科的八斑球腹蛛;微蛛科的食虫瘤胸蛛和草间小黑蛛;狼蛛科的拟水狼蛛和稻田狼蛛(拟环纹狼蛛);长脚蛛科的日本长脚蛛等六种。这些初步被定为优势种。文中揭示了早稻和晚稻两类生态系中的蜘蛛种群结构及其数量变化的差异。早稻前期和中期以微蛛科种群为主,后期以八斑球腹蛛为主;晚稻前期是微蛛和八斑球腹蛛种群为主,两者比数相当,后期以八斑球腹蛛种群占优势。水稻全生育期不使用化学农药,蜘蛛混合种群数量在早稻和晚稻后期达到最高峰。种群数量变动的主要原因及其与稻飞虱、稻叶蝉数量消长的相互关系,受人为因素影响颇大,其中长期大量使用广谱性化学农药和季节性农事操作的变更是种群数量减少的重要原因。试验表明,稻田生态系蜘蛛种群对叶蝉、飞虱有明显控制作用,在实施综合防治措施时应注意保护这一类天敌。     

转cry1C,cry2A基因水稻对稻田浮游动物群落物种多样性的影响

转Bt基因水稻的非靶标效应一直以来都是人们关注的重点,为了解转Bt基因水稻对稻田浮游动物群落的安全性,本文以转cry1C基因水稻(T1C-19)、转cry2A基因水稻(T2A-1)及其非转基因亲本水稻明恢63(MH63)为材料,以浮游动物的种类和群落多样性为指标,研究并分析了转Bt基因水稻对稻田浮游动物群落物种多样性的影响。结果显示,水稻不同生长时期里稻田中浮游动物种类变化不明显,数量变化明显,Shannon-Wiener物种多样性指数和均匀性指数在拔节期达到最大值。另外由于孕穗期不得不施用农药防治蝗虫,导致孕穗期浮游动物的数量及物种多样性显著降低,并且在使用农药后,多样性指数和均匀性指数随着水稻的生长逐渐下降。但转Bt基因水稻对浮游动物种类和数量及群落物种多样性与对照非转基因水稻相比均无显著性差异。与施用农药对水体带来的负面影响相比,转Bt基因水稻对水体环境无负面影响。     

辽宁省稻田野慈姑对苄嘧磺隆的抗药性

为明确辽宁省不同稻田区野慈姑对苄嘧磺隆的抗性水平,整株测定了辽宁省大石桥(种群R1)、海城(种群R2)、苏家屯(种群R3)和开原(种群R4)共4个水稻产区野慈姑对苄嘧磺隆的抗性水平,并离体测定了各种群叶片体内乙酰乳酸合成酶(ALS)对苄嘧磺隆的敏感性。结果显示,种群R1和R2的抗药性相对较高,抗性指数分别为76.99和49.94,种群R3和R4抗性相对较低,抗性指数分别为12.48和16.91;离体测定结果表明较高水平的ALS活性可能与是否产生抗药性无关,种群R1、R2、R3、R4的抗性指数分别为81.86、67.48、10.56、24.86;抗药性程度依次为R1R2R4R3。表明4个水稻产区野慈姑对苄嘧磺隆均产生了抗药性,而其体内ALS活性降低可能是产生抗药性的原因之一。     

Strategy of Echinochloa oryzicola Vasing. for survival in flooded rice

Echinochloa oryzicola Vasing. (= Echinochloa phyllopogon Stapf ex Kessenko) is an obligate weed with an elaborated survival strategy in the flooded rice of Japan. In this review various adaptive characters of the weed, which comprise the survival strategy, are discussed through the life cycle. The weed is distributed only in flooded rice. Seeds (spikelets) buried in the soil exhibit annual cycles between dormant and non‐dormant state, and non‐dormant seeds recurrently appear in spring when rice growers start to prepare seedling beds and fields for rice transplanting. The non‐dormant seeds have unique characters metabolically adapted to submerged conditions to germinate and grow by the anaerobic respiration through alcohol fermentation. The weed has seemingly perfect mimicry of the rice plants throughout its development from seedling to heading, by which the weed escapes from manual weeding. In a rice paddy, the weed starts heading coincidentally with the rice plants at the period when the growers are reluctant to walk in the rice paddy to weed. Irrespective of plant height of the rice cultivar, the weed develops a few upper leaves above the rice canopy during the heading period of rice. This phenotypic plasticity of E. oryzicola in plant height is one of the characters conferring its competitive aggressiveness in flooded rice. When weeding is begun again after heading, the dormant weed seeds escape weeding by shattering and join the soil seedbank. The dormant seeds express the gene of an enzyme catalyzing ATP synthesis through the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation more abundantly, and have larger oxygen absorption and enzyme activity of the aerobic respiration than the non‐dormant seeds, suggesting that the dormant seeds maintain viability by the conventional aerobic respiration in the paddy soil drained from rice harvesting in fall to the next early spring. The various adaptive characters comprising the survival strategy of E. oryzicola in flooded rice consist of those inherited from the wild progenitor and those selected by the crop cultivation pressure. It is suggested that both the mimicry of the weed and the heading coincident with the rice plants have been acquired by the large selection pressure of frequent weeding, which has been done over the past hundred years. However, today, the manual weeding is substituted with herbicides, which cannot detect the mimicry and heading photoperiodic sensitivity. As a result, the dominant species of Echinochloa weeds in flooded rice is changing from E. oryzicola to Echinochloa crus‐galli var. crus‐galli that has neither mimicry nor photoperiodic sensitivity synchronizing to that of rice, but is more competitive against rice.     

Interaction between optical isomerism and plant pharmacological action,change of modes of action and chirality of 1-(α-methylbenzyl)-3-p-tolylurea

The optical isomers, (R)-1(α-methylbenzyl)-3-p-tolylurea ((R)-MBU) and (S)-1-(α-methylbenzyl)-3-p-tolylurea ((S)MBU), which are analogues of daimuron [1-(α,α-dimethylbenzyl)-3-p-tolylurea], a herbicide for Cyperaceae weeds and a safener for paddy rice, exhibited different biological responses. These two physiological properties of daimuron were observed separately in (R)-MBU and (S)-MBU. Only (R)-MBU had herbicidal activity against Cyperaceae weeds, while the (S)-isomer was a more effective safener against bensulfuron-methyl (BSM) injury of rice seedlings than was (R)-MBU. (S)-MBU promoted root growth of rice seedlings, but the (R)-enantiomer inhibited root growth. (S)-MBU was a more potent inhibitor than (R)-MBU on PS II reaction of spinach broken chloroplasts. Furthermore, (S)-MBU and (R)-MBU showed cross intergenus selective phytotoxicity among the Gramineae plants, Oryza sativa L. (rice, cv. Tsukinohikari, japonica), Triticum aestivum L. (wheat, cv. Norin No. 61) and Echinochloa crusgalli var. frumentacea Wight, on root growth inhibition in the dark.     

Development of lowland weed management and weed succession in Japan

Since the introduction of rice production in Japan, lowland areas have been managed for rice production with the purpose of better rice growth, as well as lesser weed infestation. Rice is cropped every year in lowland fields by repeated cultivation of a single crop, with high yields and without soil sickness usually being observed in upland fields. This is probably because the irrigation water supplies various nutrients for healthy rice growth and the drainage washes out and removes harmful factors. However, until recently, the wet or flooded conditions of lowland fields in the Asian monsoon region never have allowed humans to cultivate useful summer crops, except rice or some aquatic plants. Therefore, the management of lowland areas in the Asian monsoon region has been significantly different from European field management, where crop rotation has been the traditional standard practice. Paddy weeds are aquatic plants or hygrophytes that have adapted to lowland fields. Traditionally, tillage and puddling were practiced seasonally in lowland fields on a regular schedule every year. Rice cultivation technology was developed and supported by regional irrigation systems that created stable environments for typical paddy weeds to complete their life cycle. After the introduction of chemical weed control, rice fields became very severe habitats for these paddy weeds, where they could not grow and reproduce without strategies for survival under herbicide exposure. Even so, many of the traditional paddy weeds survived because of their accumulated or uneradicated seed banks, although several aquatic plants were listed as endangered or threatened species. The important weed species changed, sometimes rapidly and sometimes slowly, depending both on their reproductive system and their biological response towards field management and weed control systems. Very recently, the level of perennial weeds, herbicide‐resistant weeds, and weedy rice has increased in paddy fields that are highly dependent on herbicide use. In addition, several hygrophyte species have invaded paddy fields. In order to address these issues, the improvement and application of integrated weed management methods are expected to be critical.     

Fate of carbofuran in model rice/fish ecosystems

The distribution and fate of [¹⁴C]carbofuran were studied in model earlyseason rice/fish and late-season rice/fish ecosystems after its application by respectively soil incorporation and broadcasting. The differences observed in the behaviour of the insecticide in these two rice/fish ecosystems indicated the important effect of the different application methods on the fate of the chemical in the environment. The radioactive residues in the paddy water, rice plants and fish were much lower when the pesticide was incorporated into the soil surface layer. An obvious vertical movement of carbofuran residues occurred in the paddy soil profile. Bound residues constituted the majority of the residues in the paddy soil, rice plants and fish tissues. 3-Hydroxy- and 3-ketocarbofuran and carbofuran phenol were tentatively identified as the main degradation products in the paddy water, paddy soil, rice plants and fish.     

高效液相色谱法测定稻田样品中喹啉铜残留

采用高效液相色谱仪,建立了喹啉铜在稻田水、稻田土壤、水稻植株、稻秆、谷壳和糙米中残留量的检测方法。稻田水、水稻植株、稻秆、谷壳和糙米用乙腈和1 mol/L的盐酸提取,土壤用乙腈和2 mol/L的氢氧化钠提取。稻田水无需净化,其余样品用正己烷和乙腈净化后,采用带有紫外检测器的高效液相色谱仪测定,流动相为V(磷酸盐缓冲液)∶V(乙腈)=60∶40,流速0.8 m L/min,紫外检测波长为250 nm。结果表明:在0.05~5 mg/L范围内,喹啉铜质量浓度与其相对应的色谱峰面积之间呈良好的线性关系,线性方程为y=231.55x-15.064,决定系数(R2)为0.998 5,达极显著水平。在0.05~1 mg/kg添加水平下,稻田水、稻田土壤、水稻植株、稻秆、谷壳和糙米中喹啉铜的平均回收率在83%~103%之间,相对标准偏差(RSD,n=5)在1.5%~6.6%之间。该方法的前处理过程较简单,且准确度、精密度和灵敏度均符合农药残留分析的技术要求。     

高效液相色谱-串联质谱法测定水稻中多杀霉素的残留及消解动态

采用高效液相色谱-串联质谱(HPLC-MS/MS)建立了水稻中多杀霉素的残留分析方法。样品经乙腈提取,乙二氨基-N-丙基硅烷(PSA)和石墨化碳黑(GCB)净化,HPLC-MS/MS检测。结果表明:多杀霉素A在0.006 ~1.2 mg/L范围内线性关系良好,相关系数(R2)为0.990 5;多杀霉素D在0.001~0.2 mg/L范围内线性关系良好, R2 为0.994 9。多杀霉素A和D的检出限(LOD)在田水中均为0.001 mg/L,在稻田土壤、水稻植株、糙米、稻壳和稻杆中均为0.005 mg/kg;多杀霉素A和D的定量限(LOQ)在田水中均为0.005 mg/L,在稻田土及各水稻基质中分别为0.06和0.01 mg/kg。在添加水平为0.005~6.0 mg/kg范围内,稻田土壤、田水及水稻各基质中多杀霉素A和D的平均回收率为72.9%~107.9%,相对标准偏差( RSD )为1.7%~13.5%。采用该方法对多杀霉素在田间水稻中的消解动态和最终残留进行了测定。结果表明,多杀霉素在稻田土壤、田水和水稻植株样品中的消解均符合一级动力学方程,半衰期分别约为7.5、1.2和 4.8 d,属于易降解农药。     

Gramineous weeds near paddy fields are alternative hosts for the Fusarium graminearum species complex that causes fusarium head blight in rice

The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential role of gramineous weeds present near paddy fields as alternative hosts for the Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC) that causes fusarium head blight (FHB) in rice. A total of 142 weed samples were collected from 10 gramineous weed species near paddy fields from August to October 2018 in Jiangsu Province, China. Of the 145 isolates of seven Fusarium species isolated from the weed samples, F. asiaticum was the most abundant (86.9%), followed by F. fujikuroi (5.5%), F. proliferatum (2.8%), F. graminearum (2.1%), F. tricinctum (1.4%), F. acuminatum (0.7%), and F. sporotrichioides (0.7%). Genotype and mycotoxin analyses confirmed that 72.2% of F. asiaticum isolates were producers of deoxynivalenol (DON) with 3-acetyl deoxynivalenol (3ADON), and the remainder were nivalenol (NIV) producers. Pathogenicity assays showed that both 3ADON and NIV chemotypes of F. asiaticum could cause FHB in rice, but NIV chemotypes were significantly (p < .05) more aggressive than 3ADON chemotypes. Three Fusarium mycotoxins, DON, NIV, and zearalenone, occurred naturally at low concentrations in the weed samples. Taken together, this study provides insight into the mycotoxin production and aggressiveness of F. asiaticum isolates from gramineous weeds in China.
