Potential Inoculum Sources of Phaeomoniella chlamydospora in South African Grapevine Nurseries

Petri disease of grapevine is primarily caused by Phaeomoniella chlamydospora. This pathogen affects mostly young grapevines, but is also implicated in esca disease of older grapevines. Little is known about the disease cycle of this fungus. Infected propagation material was identified as a major means of dissemination of the pathogen. Recently, the pathogen was also detected from soil in South Africa and airborne conidia have been found in vineyards. The aim of this study was to use a molecular detection technique to test different samples collected from nurseries in South Africa at different nursery stages for the presence of P. chlamydospora. A one-tube nested-PCR technique was optimised for detecting P. chlamydospora in DNA extracted from soil, water, callusing medium and grapevine wood. The one-tube nested-PCR was sensitive enough to detect as little as 1 fg of P. chlamydospora genomic DNA from water and 10 fg from wood, callusing medium and soil. PCR analyses of the different nursery samples revealed the presence of several putative 360 bp P. chlamydospora specific bands. Subsequent sequence analyses and/or restriction enzyme digestions of all 360 bp PCR bands confirmed that all bands were P. chlamydospora specific, except for five bands obtained from callusing media and one from water. Phaeomoniella chlamydospora was positively detected in 25% of rootstock cane sections collected from mother blocks, 42% of rootstock cuttings and 16% of scion cuttings collected during grafting, 40% of water samples collected after pre-storage hydration, 67% of water samples collected during grafting, 8% of callusing medium samples and 17% of soil samples collected from mother blocks. These media can therefore be considered as possible inoculum sources of the pathogen during the nursery stages.     

Genetic variability and virulence among Verticillium albo-atrum isolates from hop

Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium albo-atrum or V. dahliae, is an important disease of many worldwide crop species. In Europe, V. albo-atrum isolates infecting hop express different levels of virulence, inducing mild or lethal disease syndromes, and it is therefore an attractive model for studying the virulence of this pathogen. In this work, eleven amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) primer combinations were used to analyze genetic variability among 55 V. albo-atrum hop isolates from four European hop growing regions, as well as isolates from other hosts and V. dahliae isolates. Cluster analysis divided V. albo-atrum and V. dahliae isolates into two well-separated groups. Within the V. dahliae cluster, isolates were separated without host specific grouping, although no host adapted isolates were included. In V. albo-atrum, the alfalfa isolates were distinct from isolates of other hosts, where a high association with virulence was observed in hop and tomato isolates. All lethal hop isolates were genetically different from mild hop isolates. The lethal hop isolates from England and Slovenia expressed the same virulence phenotype, although they showed a different AFLP pattern. The mild hop isolates formed two subgroups, to which isolates clustered irrespective of geographical location. These data suggest multiple origins of V. albo-atrum hop isolates, and the possible appearance of new virulent isolates in the future in other hop growing regions.     

Note: Molecular identification of three entomopathogenic nematodes from turkey by PCR-RFLP of the ITS regions

Molecular identification methods are widely used for the classification of organisms worldwide. Entomopathogenic nematodes are the most often isolated insect parasitic nematodes in the tropical and subtropical regions. In our investigation, PCR-RFLP (Polymerase Chain Reaction — Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) of the ITS region (Internal Transcribed Spacer) on the ribosomal (r) DNA of three entomopathogenic nematodes isolated from Ankara, Turkey, was analyzed for identification. The ITS region of rDNA was amplified by PCR and then digested with the following nine restriction enzymes: Alu I, Dde I, Hae III, Hha I, Hind III, Hinf I, Hpa II, Rsa I and Sau 3AI. The amplified and restricted sequences of the ITS regions were separated by agarose gel electrophoresis and the RFLP patterns of these three species were shown in this study. According to our results, these species were identified asSteinernema feltiae, Steinernema carpocapsae andHeterorhabditis bacteriophora. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting Nov. 4, 2005.

PCV2感染性分子克隆的制备及体内外感染性试验

将猪圆环病毒2型（Type2 porcine circovirus，PCV2）JXL株cDNA插入到载体pMD18-T中，获得的pMDT-PCV转染猪肾细胞PK15细胞系，盲传4代后，利用PCV2阳性猪血清进行间接免疫荧光抗体试验（IFA），能检测到特异性荧光。将pMDT-PCV质粒DNA腹股沟淋巴结注射40日龄仔猪2头，分别接种2、3次，接种剂量500μg／次，首次注射35d心脏放血致死。在体内感染性试验期间，动物未出现明显临床症状。试验结束，病理切片结果显示，不同淋巴组织中分别存在淋巴细胞缺失或增多的现象；肾小球、扁桃体、空肠淋巴结和股前淋巴结等冰冻组织切片中存在大量PCV2病毒抗原；血清中PCV2特异性的ELISA抗体效价迭1：2560，IFA效价为1：1280；通过聚合酶链式反应（PCR）可以分别从体外感染PK15细胞和体内感染动物及同圈饲养的空白对照猪的淋巴组织中扩增到病毒特异性基因片段。本研究证明含有单拷贝PCV2的重组质粒pMDT—PCV在体内、外均具有感染性，能衍生出病毒，并产生符合自然感染PCV2的大体病变和组织病理学变化，并激发较强的体液免癌应答。     

禽流感病毒分子生物学的研究进展

禽流行性感冒(av ian in fluenza,A I,简称禽流感)是由A型禽流感病毒(av ian in fluenza v irus,A IV)引起的禽类烈性传染病。作为被世界动物卫生组织(O IE)定为A类的传染病,A I不仅给世界养禽业造成了巨大的经济损失,而且对人类健康和生命安全构成了严重威胁。因此,A I已经成为人们关注的焦点,国内外学者也对其进行了大量研究。作者从病原基因组及其编码的蛋白质、致病力、变异性以及对人类感染A IV的分子机制等角度就A IV的分子生物学研究作一综述,为防制A I提供理论基础,并在此基础上探讨了人类禽流感的防治措施,加深人们对A I的认识。

不同地理种群甘薯茎线虫乙酰胆碱酯酶对抑制剂的敏感性

用改进的Ellman方法测定了河北省昌黎、涿州、卢龙和抚宁四个不同地理种群甘薯茎线虫Ditylenchus destructor的乙酰胆碱酯酶（AChE）的生化特性及其对抑制剂涕灭威和毒扁豆碱的敏感性差异。结果表明：甘薯茎线虫AChE至少存在两种类型，一种类型对毒扁豆碱的IC50值小于10^-6mol／L，另一种类型大于10^-4mol／L。当抑制剂毒扁豆碱浓度为10^-6～10^10mol／L、涕灭威浓度为10^-5～10^10mol／L时，甘薯茎线虫昌黎种群AChE的敏感性抑制率明显高于涿州、抚宁、卢龙三地的甘薯茎线虫种群AChE的抑制率。各地种群AChE对抑制剂敏感性差异是由于甘薯茎线虫AChE的多态性和各分子型综合性改变的结果。
