Pathogenicity of branched broomrape (Orobanche ramosa) populations on tobacco cultivars

Parasitic weed species of the genus Orobanche are a serious threat for the production of several crops in Europe, Africa and Asia. In contrast to other broomrape species of agronomic importance, O. ramosa (branched broomrape) has a broad host range and in Europe particularly affects hemp, tobacco, tomato and, in recent times, oilseed rape. Two separate sets of experiments investigated the effect of two populations of O. ramosa on nine tobacco cultivars grown in Europe and belonging to the three major tobacco types: Virgin (flue-cured), Burley (light air-cured) and dark air-cured under standardized glasshouse conditions. The two broomrape populations were discriminated by means of polymorphic DNA fragments obtained by PCR of the intersimple sequence repeat regions (ISSRs). The Orobanche populations exhibited different levels of pathogenicity but all various tobacco cultivars were susceptible. Dark air-cured tobacco cultivars were the least susceptible to both broomrape populations. Virgin and Burley tobacco cultivars were more susceptible to one population of O. ramosa .     

影响烟草花粉胚胎发生的某些因子——铁盐、蔗糖和腺素

本文研究了铁盐、蔗糖等培养基成份对烟草花粉胚胎形成的影响。结果表明,铁盐和蔗糖与烟草花粉胚形成有密切关系。培养基中没有铁盐,胚发育停止球形期;没有蔗糖、胚发育受阻在多细胞原胚期,不能进一步发育。培养基中仅有蔗糖,胚发育停止在鱼雷胚早期,将其转到只含铁盐的培养基中,鱼雷胚可继续发育直至成株。培养基中不附加铁盐或蔗糖,胚的发育均受阻。只有铁盐和蔗糖而无大量元素、微量元素及有机成份,即能形成胚状体并再生植株,但胚胎发生频率低,表明其它附加成份并不是没有意义的。另外,培养基中附加一定浓度的腺素对花粉胚形成是有利的,但高浓度是有害的。     

烟草自毒效应的品种间差异研究(英文)

利用生物测试法研究8个烟草品种(系)根系分泌物的自毒效应。结果表明:大多数供试烟草品种的幼苗鲜质量、干质量、最大叶片长和根长随着根系分泌物浓度的升高而减少,且品种间差异明显,其中黔西1号在稀释1倍的水平下,以上生长指标抑制率分别为63.3%、34.3%、42.4%和30.8%,居各品种之首;但新品系1号表现为以上生长参数均随着提取液浓度的升高而增大,在稀释1倍水平下生长促进率分别为13.0%、51.8%、13.0%和16.7%;此外,新品系7号、1号和品种云烟85和春雷3号的发芽率受根系分泌物的促进,而其他品种则受抑制;生物测试结果显示,在供试的8个品种中,自毒作用以新品系1号最弱,黔西1号最强。可见,自毒作用在烟草品种间差异明显,栽培上应选择适宜的烟草品种以减少自毒作用引起的连作障碍。     

应用SRAP与ISSR分析烟草种质资源遗传多样性及遗传演化关系

应用ISSR与SRAP两种分子标记,研究国内外96份烟草种质的遗传多样性及不同栽培类型种质的遗传演化关系。表明烟属种间具有丰富的遗传多样性,种间的遗传相似性(GS)在0.28~0.58之间,遗传分化系数(Gst)为0.83。普通栽培种品种间遗传多样性水平较低,品种间的遗传相似性在0.61~0.99之间,栽培种内的遗传多样性为烤烟>晒晾烟>白肋烟>香料烟。当相似系数在0.67作切割线时,基于2种标记的96份烟草种质资源的聚类结果为,(1)普通烟草栽培品种材料91份聚在同一大类,而黄花烟、黏烟草、浅波烟草、哥西氏烟草、香甜烟草5个种也分别为单独的个类,同普通烟草栽培种类群完全区别开来;(2)从进化上看,烤烟和晒晾烟间的遗传进化关系最近,香料烟和黄花烟之间的亲缘关系较远;普通烟草栽培种中国内外来源的烟草品种亲缘关系极其相近,遗传分化现象甚微;(3)2种分子标记虽然原理不同,但分析结果趋势相近(r=0.68,P=1.000)。

Apoplastic redox metabolism: Synergistic phenolic oxidation and a novel oxidative burst

The plant apoplast is an important mediator of communication between the cell cytoplasm and its surroundings. Plant cell suspensions offer a convenient model system to gain insight into apoplastic physiology. Here, we describe a novel phenomenon that took place when two naturally occurring phenolics were added together to either soybean or tobacco cell suspensions. Acetosyringone (AS) and/or hydroxyacetophenone (HAP), phenolics found in the extracellular/apoplast of tobacco cells, were added to soybean or tobacco cell suspensions undergoing an oxidative burst. Individually, AS appeared to be utilized as a typical peroxidase substrate to scavenge hydrogen peroxide, while HAP was utilized at a much lower rate. However, when added together the rate of utilization of both phenolics increased and surprisingly resulted in the production of hydrogen peroxide. We have further characterized this novel phenomenon in suspension cells. This study demonstrates that certain phenolics in plants can cause co-oxidation which, as in animals, could alter the structure and bioactivity of surrounding phenolics.
