特异性抑制剂三环唑对玉米大斑病菌致病力的影响

为明确DHN黑色素合成抑制剂三环唑对玉米大斑病菌Setosphaeria turcica致病力的影响,通过含毒介质系统研究了三环唑作用下玉米大斑病菌的黑色素生物合成量、附着胞的细胞孔径、膨压和病菌的致病力。结果显示,当三环唑浓度≤5μg/mL时,玉米大斑病菌菌落生长量和产孢量变化不显著,但黑色素的生成量降至对照菌株的43%;三环唑处理的病菌附着胞细胞壁孔径增大至2.7～3.3 nm,膨压降至3.75 MPa,侵染率下降37.5%,同时病斑面积显著减小。表明三环唑通过抑制玉米大斑病菌DHN黑色素合成,降低了病菌附着胞的膨压,从而导致致病力下降。     

玉米大斑病菌黑色素缺失突变体的获得及其生物学特性

DHN黑色素是许多植物病原真菌的致病相关因子,为明确黑色素在玉米大斑病菌致病过程中的作用,采用三环唑和紫外线复合诱变的方法获得了黑色素缺失的6个突变菌株,对突变菌株的生长量、产孢量、HT-毒素活性、致病力进行测定。结果显示,突变菌株产毒能力变化不大,但生长量下降,产孢量和致病力显著下降或完全丧失,野生型菌株的产孢量和侵染频率分别是突变菌株的30～50倍和5倍。突变菌株与黑色素共培养后,菌株M01-23a和M01-23b恢复了致病力,但病斑面积和侵染频率较小。玉米大斑病菌黑色素与致病力具有一定的相关性。     

白头翁叶斑病菌黑色素的理化性质及其生物合成途径初步研究

对白头翁叶斑病菌胞壁结合黑色素和胞外黑色素进行了理化性质和红外光谱扫描测定, 结果表明两者具有相似的理化性质, 均易溶于KOH、H2O2和NaClO, 不溶于水、乙醇和丙酮。红外光谱分析表明, 白头翁叶斑病菌YS-24菌株的胞壁结合黑色素与胞外黑色素为同一种类型的黑色素。DHN黑色素的特异性抑制剂—三环唑, 对白头翁叶斑病菌黑色素的产生有明显的抑制作用; 以白头翁叶斑病菌基因组DNA为模板, 通过PCR扩增, 得到了聚酮体合成酶基因的同源片段 AaPKS , 初步推断白头翁叶斑病菌黑色素合成属于DHN途径。     

基底硬度对玉米大斑病菌主要侵染结构和黑色素沉积的影响

 基底硬度是调控植物病原真菌侵染结构形成的重要物理信号。为探讨基底硬度对玉米大斑病菌(Setosphaeria turcica)侵染能力的影响,本研究利用不同硬度的PDA培养基进行模拟试验,并在不同叶龄的玉米叶片上进一步验证,结果表明,基底硬度越大,气生菌丝越少,菌丝分枝越多;硬基底上,病菌的分生孢子产量高,是软基底和适中硬度基底上的29.93和6.82倍,且硬基底上病菌附着胞形成率显著高于软基底。研究发现,在硬基底上生长的大斑病菌菌落颜色较深,菌丝中黑色素含量高。利用实时荧光定量PCR技术分析病菌黑色素合成途径中相关基因的表达情况,发现在硬基底上StMR1、StPKS、St4HNR、StSCD、St3HNR、StLAC1、StLAC2和StLAC4基因的相对表达量均高于软基底。上述结果说明,基底硬度影响了病菌形态结构的发育,导致了与侵染相关的黑色素含量的变化和侵染结构的形成,研究结果为探究植物病原真菌的侵染机制和病害防控提供了理论依据。     

玉米大斑病菌CaM基因的克隆及三氟拉嗪的抑菌作用

 以玉米大斑病菌为材料,根据同源序列法分别进行了3'端和5'端的RACE扩增,获得了玉米大斑病菌钙调素基因cDNA全长。利用genomic walking技术获得了CaM基因启动子序列,该序列含有多个与转录调控有关的保守序列(如TATA-box、Spl、AP-2和TFⅡD)。Southem杂交结果表明,玉米大斑病菌CaM基因在基因组中以单拷贝形式存在。用CaM特异性抑制剂三氟拉嗪(trifluoperazine)处理玉米大斑病菌,发现其对孢子萌发和附着胞形成的抑制作用与浓度呈正相关,同一浓度下,抑制剂对附着胞形成的抑制作用大于对孢子萌发的抑制。推测CaM基因在玉米大斑病菌的致病过程中起着至关重要的作用。     

环境与寄主条件对玉米灰斑病菌侵染寄主的影响

利用玉米灰斑病菌株20-47、感病玉米品种(掖单13)和抗病玉米品种(沈单10号),在人工气候室和自然条件下对影响玉米灰斑病菌侵染的环境条件和寄主生育期进行了研究。结果表明:玉米灰斑病是属偏高温高湿类型的病害,在温湿度条件不能得到满足时,病害就难以完成侵染发病;病菌接种侵入的最佳温度为25℃左右,水滴条件下侵染最容易;土壤条件特别是氮、磷肥如果施用不均匀、不足或过多,也都可以对结果产生影响,在通常情况下,增施氮、磷肥能提高玉米对灰斑病的抗性;在一定光照强度范围内,光对鉴定结果的影响不明显,但光暗交替更有利于寄主发病;寄主不同生育期对病原菌侵染寄主的影响不同,11～12叶期(喇叭口期)接种,病菌较易侵染。

桑椹菌核病菌(Scleromitrula shiraiana)黑色素生物合成相关基因的克隆与功能分析

小柱孢酮脱水酶(scytalone dehydratase,SCD)及羟基萘还原酶(hydroxynaphthalene reductase,HNR)是真菌多聚二羟奈类(DHN)黑色素生物合成途径中的关键酶。根据已知真菌的小柱孢酮脱水酶及羟基萘还原酶的保守结构域设计兼并引物并利用RACE技术,获得桑椹菌核病菌(核地仗菌,Scleromitrula shiraiana)SsSCD1和Ss4HNR1的DNA和c DNA序列。SsSCD1和Ss4HNR1均含2个内含子和3个外显子,分别编码169和263个氨基酸残基。进化分析表明SsSCD1和Ss4HNR1与灰葡萄孢和核盘菌中小柱孢酮脱水酶和四羟基萘还原酶基因的亲缘关系最近。DHN黑色素合成特异性抑制剂三环唑处理核地仗菌,结果显示三环唑可抑制核地仗菌菌丝生长和黑色素合成,对SsSCD1的表达无显著影响,但Ss4HNR1的表达水平显著提高。这些结果表明三环唑能够特异性的抑制四羟基萘还原酶,且DHN黑色素是核地仗菌生长发育的重要产物。     

中国玉米大斑病菌生理分化及新命名法的初步研究

 在分别含Ht1、Ht2、Ht3和HtN的单基因玉米鉴别寄主上测定了全国玉米各产区的百余份大斑病菌标样。结果表明,按传统方法命名的1号(或称0号)生理小种仍然是优势小种,占供试菌株的73.0%;2号(1号)生理小种占1.9%。虽然未出现已报道的3号(23号)、4号(23N号)和5号(2N号)小种,但特别值得注意的是出现了25.1%的未定名的新类群。为克服传统命名方法的局限性及指导抗病育种及品种布局,本文初步提出用毒力频率法分析玉米大斑病菌的生理分化状况,并进一步指明了不同致病类群在我国的分布频率及Ht基因的可用范围。

Temporal Variation in Setosphaeria turcica Between 1974 and 1994 and Origin of Races 1, 23, and 23N in the United States

ABSTRACT Setosphaeria turcica causes northern leaf blight, an economically important disease of maize throughout the world. Survey collections of S. turcica isolates from 1974 to 1994 provided a unique opportunity to examine temporal diversity in the eastern United States. Two hundred forty-two isolates of S. turcica from maize were studied with random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers, mating type, and virulence on maize differential inbred lines with known Ht resistance genes to examine changes over time. One hundred forty-nine RAPD haplotypes were identified. Nearly 20% of haplotypes recurred in more than one year. Race 0 isolates declined in frequency from 83% in 1974 to near 50% in the 1990s, most likely in response to the widespread deployment of Ht1 in commercial maize hybrids. Races 23 and 23N were present in the collection at low levels throughout the study period and were also found among isolates from Virginia in 1957. The frequency of MAT1-2 isolates increased sharply after 1979 and was associated with the emergence of race 1 during the same period. RAPD markers were used to investigate the genetic diversity among a subset of isolates collected in the United States from 1976 to 1982, the period in which this dramatic shift in race frequency occurred. Multilocus haplotypes were not exclusively associated with known races of S. turcica. Based on shared haplotypes and cluster analysis, race 1 isolates share greater similarity with race 0 than with 23 or 23N isolates, indicating race 1 probably evolved from multiple lineages of race 0. Sorghum spp.-infecting isolates share greater similarity with one another than with maize-infecting isolates and represent a distinct subgroup.     

玉米大斑病菌有性杂交F1代菌株的生理小种鉴定和AFLP分析

玉米大斑病菌是异宗配合真菌，有性杂交有可能增强病菌的致病力，或形成新的致病小种，因此对该病菌有性杂交后代进行致病性测定和遗传多态性分析对控制该病菌的危害具有重要意义。对亲本菌株132、135和它们杂交产生的70个单子囊孢子F1代菌株进行了生理小种鉴定和AFLP（扩增性片段长度多态性）分析。生理小种鉴定结果表明，F1代菌株中与亲本菌株132（23N号小种）属于同一小种类型的占41．4％，与亲本菌株135（23号小种）相同的占20．0％，另外还出现了0、1、2、3、13、123、12N、13N和123N号小种，所占比例分别为2．9％、1．4％、2．9％、2．9％、4．3％、8．6％、1．4％、4．3％和10．0％，说明有性杂交可使后代菌株的致病性发生比较广泛的变异。AFLP分析表明，F1代菌株之间分子遗传相似系数在0．87～0．99之间，其中84．3％的F1代菌株与亲本菌株的遗传相似系数在0．878以上，但与亲本菌株132同源性较强的F1代菌株数目大约是与亲本菌株135的5倍，说明不同菌株具有不同的遗传传递能力。比较生理小种鉴定和AFLP分析结果，发现生理小种分化和AFLP分子遗传多态性间有一定的相关性，但不能完全对应，不存在遗传谱系就等于小种的简单对应关系。     

草莓多主棒孢霉小柱孢酮脱水酶基因CcSCD1的功能研究

 多主棒孢霉(Corynespora cassiicola)是世界范围内重要的植物病原真菌,其引起的草莓棒孢霉叶斑病对草莓产业的健康发展具有潜在威胁。小柱孢酮脱水酶(scytalone dehydratase,SCD)是真菌多聚二羟萘类(DHN)黑色素生物合成途径中的关键酶,在植物病原菌致病过程中发挥重要作用。本研究通过同源重组的方法获得了草莓多主棒孢霉小柱孢酮脱水酶基因(CcSCD1)的敲除突变体,并进行了回补和RT-PCR验证。与野生型相比,敲除突变体△CcSCD1-2表现为菌落无色素沉积、菌丝稀疏、产孢量显著下降、分生孢子无色较小以及致病力明显减弱。结果表明,CcSCD1参与调控多主棒孢霉的黑色素生物合成、营养生长、分生孢子产量及致病力。

Disease severity,incidence and races of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Setosphaeria turcica</Emphasis> on sorghum in Uganda

In order to understand the underlaying causes of new severe turcicum leaf blight outbreaks in East Africa, a survey was undertaken in Uganda to examine the sorghum—Setosphaeria turcica interaction in terms of disease severity and incidence, the overall fungal population structure, and new resistant resources. Highest disease severities were recorded on caudatum accessions, whereas kafir genotypes were most resistant. The disease was more severe in the most humid farmlands compared to moderately dry agro-ecologies. In districts with wide adoption of the Epuripur variety a very high incidence (100%) of turcicum leaf blight was found. The two S. turcica mating type genes MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 assessed on fungal isolates deriving from both sorghum and maize diseased leaves were found in 20 of 23 districts sampled and in equal proportions. Upon cross inoculation on maize differential lines, four S. turcica isolates were identified as race 1, two as race 2, and one isolate corresponded to race 0 and race 3, respectively. The remaining 10 S. turcica isolates did not cause any disease symptoms on the maize lines assessed. Highly resistant accessions originating from a regional collection were found among the five sorghum races (kafir, guinea, caudatum, bicolor and durra), and are now implemented in new sorghum disease resistance programs.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Agrobacterium tumefaciens</Emphasis>-mediated transformation for random insertional mutagenesis in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Colletotrichum lagenarium</Emphasis>

Random insertional mutagenesis using a marker DNA fragment is an effective method for identifying fungal genes relevant to morphogenesis, metabolism, and so on. Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (AtMT) has long been used as a tool for the genetic modification of a wide range of plant species. Recent study has indicated that A. tumefaciens could transfer T-DNA not only to plant cells but also to fungal cells. In this study, AtMT was applied to Colletotrichum lagenarium for random insertional mutagenesis. We constructed a binary vector pBIG2RHPH2 carrying a hygromycin-resistant gene cassette between the right and left borders of T-DNA. Optimal co-cultivation of C. lagenarium wild-type 104-T with pBIG2RHPH2-introduced A. tumefaciens C58C1 led to the production of 150–300 hygromycin-resistant transformants per 10⁶ conidia. Southern blot analysis revealed that T-DNA was mainly integrated at a single site in the genome and at different sites in transformants. The T-DNA inserts showed small truncations of either end, but the hygromycin-resistant gene cassette inside the T-DNA was generally intact. The mode of T-DNA insertion described above resulted in highly efficient gene recovery from the transformants by thermal asymmetrical interlaced-polymerase chain reaction. The fungal genomic DNA segments flanking T-DNA were identified from five of eight mutants that had defective melanin biosynthesis. The sequence from one of the segments was identical to that of the melanin biosynthesis gene PKS1 of C. lagenarium, which we previously characterized. These results strongly support our notion that AtMT is a possible tool for tagging genes relevant to pathogenicity in the plant pathogenic fungus C. lagenarium.
