东北油豆角腐皮镰孢菌根腐病拮抗芽胞杆菌的筛选与鉴定

以东北油豆角腐皮镰孢菌为靶标菌,采用室内平板对峙培养和温室防效测定方法,从发病油豆角根际(围)土壤中筛选拮抗能力强的芽胞杆菌菌株,以期获得腐皮镰孢菌根腐病的生防资源。结果表明:该试验筛选到一株拮抗芽胞杆菌WJ-126,初步鉴定为贝莱斯芽胞杆菌(Bacillus velezensis),在温室人工接种条件下,该菌株对油豆角腐皮镰孢菌根腐病的相对防效可达60.92%。

宜昌泡桐雌雄配子体发育及其生殖过程的研究

本文系统的研究了宜昌泡桐(Paulownia sp.)雌雄配子体发育过程,并着重探讨了与育性有关的机制。结果表明,宜昌泡桐雌雄配子体形成过程中都存在着大量败育现象。雌配子体的败育和大量落蕾是宜昌泡桐不结实或少结实的直接原因。还探讨了宜昌泡桐种群内存在着明显育性差异的原因。     

向川安瘿蜂和寄生性长尾小蜂共生菌Wolbachia的检测

Wolbachia是一类胞质遗传共生菌，能调控被其感染宿主的生殖方式。以向川安瘿蜂虫瘿中获得的向川安瘿蜂和其寄生的长尾小蜂为材料，使用Wolbachia的wsp基因特异引物，通过PCR扩增向川安瘿蜂和长尾小蜂Wolbachia的wsp特异片段，以邻位相连法构建Wolbachia的wsp基因的分子系统树。结果表明：向川安瘿蜂和长尾小蜂均感染了Wolbachia；因二者感染Wolbacia的株系Wa和Wb的wsp序列差异大，不能认定在寄生的长尾小蜂和宿主向川安瘿蜂间存在Wolbachia的水平传播。     

EFFECTS OF pH ON GROWTH AND NODULATION OF TWO FORAGE LEGUMES

A study was conducted to compare the responses to acid pH of Medicago sativa and Lotus glaber, two forage legumes with different environmental requirements, either supplied with inorganic nitrogen (N) or inoculated with different strains of their nodule bacteria. Medicago sativa showed, in both treatments, a significant reduction in total dry weight at pH below 6.0. In contrast, Lotus glaber grew equally well at all the pHs assayed in the presence of adequate N. Under inoculated conditions, in the absence of N supply, plant growth was dependent on the bacterial strain used. When the ability of each strain to multiply in culture medium was examined, it was observed that Sinorhizobium meliloti strains showed a pH-sensitive response that inhibited growth at pH 4.0, whereas Mesorhizobium loti strains showed normal growth at this pH. These results suggest that for the effectiveness of Mesorhizobium loti–Lotus glaber symbiosis in acid soils the major factor to be considered is the tolerance of the bacterial strain to acid conditions, while the limiting factors for the Sinorhizobium meliloti–Medicago sativa symbiosis are the sensitivity to low pH of both the plant and its bacteria.     

Screening of field performance of entomopathogenic fungi and nematodes against cabbage root flies (Delia radicum l. and d. floralis (fall.); Diptera,Anthomyiidae)

Finnish isolates of Beauveria bassiana (8 isolates), Metarhizium anisopliae (7), Tolypocladium sp. (2), Paecilomyces farinosus (2), P. fumosoroseus (1), Steinernema feltiae (3) and Bacillus thuringiensis ('Muscabac') were tested for efficacy against mixed populations of Delia radicum and D. floralis under field conditions in 1986–90. All pathogens were applied preventatively, the fungi as aqueous conidial or mycelial suspensions, dry conidia or dry mycelial powder. In only two of the nine experiments did B. bassiana or M. anisopliae give some control. In 1986, B. bassiana SF85–2 and Tolypocladium sp. SF85–4 (both at rate 1.2 x 10⁹ conidia plant‐ 1), and ‘Muscabac’ (25 g 1^?1, 1 dl plant^?1) reduced the number of pupae by 80%, 60% and 50%, respectively, as compared with untreated and chemical (isophenphos) controls. In 1990, M. anisopliae SF86–39 at rate 1.6 x 10⁹conidia plant^?1 and 1.5 x 10⁸ CFU plant^?1 and S. feltiae SFS‐22 (35000 plant^?1), increased the yield of cauliflower 2.2, 1.8, and 2.3‐fold, respectively, as compared with the untreated control, but these yields were only 19%, 15% and 19% of those of the chemical (diazinon) control. Paecilomyces isolates were ineffective in the 1986 experiment in which they were included. Our results suggest that it is difficult to find efficient control agents among the fungal and nematode species tested for use as biopesticides against cabbage root flies, but that the potential of M. anisopliae against these pests deserves further study.     

Occurrence of a new leaf spot disease ofMusa sp. incited byThanatephorus cucumeris

A new leaf spot disease of banana(Musa sp.) cv. ‘Rasthali’ (syn. Silk) was observed in Tamil Nadu, in 1987. The causal organism was isolated in pure culture and identified asRhizoctonia solarii Kühn. The teleomorphic stage,Thanatephorus cucumeris (Frank) Donk, has also been induced artificially. This is the first record of this pathogen causing leaf spot disease onMusa sp. The pathogenicity of basidiospores on several other important crops was also tested.     

The incredible fungal genus —Drechslera — and its phytotoxic ophiobolins

ManyDrechslera species that haveCochliobolus sp. as a perfect stage produce a related group of ophiobolins, sesterterpenoids (C-25’s), which are phytotoxic to a wide range of plants. One of the most toxic ophiobolins is 6-epiophiobolin A and it is produced by all of theDrechslera species thus far studied. On the other hand, some novel ophiobolins have been found inD. oryzae: ophiobolin J, 6-epiophiobolin I, and 8-deoxyophiobolin J. Potentially, genetic crosses made between these fungi could yield novel organisms, producing novel combinations of the ophiobolins, and thus new pathotypes. Ophiobolins are being used in tissue culture systems to screen plants for sensitivity to these toxins.

两种松梢斑螟的重要天敌—长距茧蜂

微红梢斑螟Dioryctria rubella和果梢斑螟D. pryeri是我国马尾松、油松、黄山松和华山松等松树的重要钻梢蛀果害虫,引起梢枯干折,树冠畸形,果空籽瘪,严重影响松树的生长和成材,并造成种子园种子产量歉收。林间害虫种群观测和室内害虫饲育发现长距茧蜂Macrocentrus sp.(膜翅目、茧蜂科Bracodidae)是这两种松梢斑螟的重要寄生昆虫,种群数量较多,繁殖较强。该蜂幼虫寄生两种松梢斑螟幼虫体内。林间,微红梢斑螟越冬代幼虫寄生率为9.2％;果梢斑螟第一代幼虫寄生率为7.8％。在两种松梢斑螟幼虫种群数量增长中,该蜂起重要的制约作用。
