灰葡萄孢产孢相关基因BC1G_03293功能的初步研究

据灰葡萄孢菌丝发育和菌核形成时期的RNA-seq数据,挑选出在这2个时期表达量差异较大的基因BC1G__03293进行基因功能的研究。结果发现,BC1G__03293在菌核发育时期表达明显上调,表达量比菌丝生长时期上调了70倍以上。该基因编码的蛋白质含有229个氨基酸,N端包含信号肽,但不含有任何已知保守结构域。通过同源重组的方法得到了BC1G__03293的敲除转化子ΔBC1G__03293-2和ΔBC1G__03293-4,并运用农杆菌转化技术得到了互补转化子ΔBC1G__03293-2-C2和ΔBC1G__03293-2-C3。BC1G__03293基因敲除后生长、致病及菌核形成等表型无明显变化,但敲除转化子的分生孢子产量显著下降,仅为野生型菌株B05.10分生孢子产量的45%,并且BC1G__03293基因互补可使敲除转化子的产孢量得到明显恢复。结果说明BC1G__03293基因与灰葡萄孢的分生孢子形成相关。     

Triggering the biocontrol of Botrytis cinerea by Trichoderma harzianum through inhibition of pathogenicity and virulence related proteins

This study reports a strain of Trichoderma harzianum CCTCC-SBW0162 with potential to enhance biocontrol activity against gray mold pathogen, Botrytis cinerea, and with a pivotal role in tomato (Solanum esculentum) plant growth enhancement. A total of 254 Trichoderma isolates were screened by in vitro antagonistic assay. Of these, 10 were selected for greenhouse experiments based on their greater inhibition of B. cinerea. The in vitro antagonistic assay and greenhouse experiments indicated that T. harzianum CCTCC-SBW0162 gave the highest inhibition rate (90.6%) and disease reduction (80.7%). Also, to study the possible mechanism associated with antifungal activity of CCTCC-SBW0162 against B. cinerea, molecular docking was used to assess the interactions between CCTCC-SBW0162-derived metabolites, and pathogencity and virulence related proteins of B. cinerea. The molecular docking results indicated that the combination of harzianopyridone, harzianolide and anthraquinone C derived from CCTCC-SBW0162 could synergistically improve antifungal activity against B. cinerea through the inhibition/modification of pathogenicity and virulence related proteins. However, this computerized modeling work emphasized the need for further study in the laboratory to confirm the effect T. harzianum-derived metabolites against the proteins of B. cinerea and their interactions.     

Fusaricidins in Paenibacillus polymyxa A21 and their antagonistic activity against Botrytis cinerea on tomato

Four kinds of antifungal compounds from an extract of Paenibacillus polymyxa A21 with molecular masses of 883.56, 897.59, 947.55, and 961.58 Da were characterized as the members of fusaricidin-type of antibiotics according to LC-MS analysis. Fusaricidins isolated from culture filtrate displayed high antagonistic activity against several plant fungal pathogens, especially Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of gray mold. The fusaricidins biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) from A21 was cloned by PCR and comparative cluster analysis revealed that gene fusTE, the 3′ boundary of the fusaricidin BGC in strain PKB1, was not present in fusaricidin BGC of A21, indicating that fusTE is not necessary for fusaricidin synthesis. Fusaricidin extract from A21 significantly reduced gray mold disease incidence and severity on tomato. The mRNA levels for three patho-genesis-related proteins (PRs) revealed that treatment of tomato leaves with fusaricidin extract induced the expression of PR genes to different levels, suggesting that one reason for the reduction of gray mold infection by fusaricidin is induction of PR proteins, which lead to increased resistance to pathogens. This is the first report of the application of fusaricidins to control tomato gray mold and the comparative cluster analysis provides important molecular basis for research on fusaricidin biosynthesis.     

Long‐lasting β‐aminobutyric acid‐induced resistance protects tomato fruit against Botrytis cinerea

Minimizing losses to pests and diseases is essential for producing sufficient food to feed the world's rapidly growing population. The necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea triggers devastating pre‐ and post‐harvest yield losses in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Current control methods are based on the pre‐harvest use of fungicides, which are limited by strict legislation. This investigation tested whether induction of resistance by β‐aminobutyric acid (BABA) at different developmental stages provides an alternative strategy to protect post‐harvest tomato fruit against B. cinerea. Soil‐drenching plants with BABA once fruit had already formed had no impact on tomato susceptibility to B. cinerea. However, BABA application to seedlings significantly reduced post‐harvest infection of fruit. This resistance response was not associated with a yield reduction; however, there was a delay in fruit ripening. Untargeted metabolomics revealed differences between fruit from water‐ and BABA‐treated plants, demonstrating that BABA triggered a defence‐associated metabolomics profile that was long lasting. Targeted analysis of defence hormones suggested a role of abscisic acid (ABA) in the resistance phenotype. Post‐harvest application of ABA to the fruit of water‐treated plants induced susceptibility to B. cinerea. This phenotype was absent from the ABA‐exposed fruit of BABA‐treated plants, suggesting a complex role of ABA in BABA‐induced resistance. A final targeted metabolomic analysis detected trace residues of BABA accumulated in the red fruit. Overall, it was demonstrated that BABA induces post‐harvest resistance in tomato fruit against B. cinerea with no penalties in yield.

Colonization of red raspberry flowers and fruit by Botrytis cinerea under commercial production conditions in northwestern Washington,USA

Colonization of red raspberry flowers and fruit by Botrytis cinerea was determined during 2017–2018 growing seasons under commercial fungicide application programmes used for grey mould management in northwestern Washington, USA. Colonization of flowers and fruit was assessed qualitatively (incidence, %) and quantitatively (abundance, number of colonies) by recovering B. cinerea from surface-disinfested samples. Both incidence and abundance of flower colonization were significantly lower than fruit colonization in both untreated and fungicide-treated plots. Incidence of flower colonization did not differ significantly between untreated and fungicide-treated plots (43% vs. 45%, respectively). In contrast, significantly greater colonization incidence was detected at green fruit stage in untreated compared to fungicide-treated plots (96% vs. 77%, respectively). Ripe fruit had the greatest colonization incidence among the three stages sampled and colonization was not significantly different between untreated and fungicide-treated plots (100% vs. 92%, respectively). Similarly, colonization abundance of flowers did not differ significantly between untreated and fungicide-treated plots (1.0 colonies per colonized flower in both treatments), but colonization abundance of green and ripe fruit was decreased 2.3- and 2.1-fold, respectively, in fungicide-treated plots. DNA fingerprinting analysis of the pathogen revealed that different multilocus genotypes colonized flowers and fruit within the same inflorescence and that genotypic diversity increased through time, suggesting independent infection events. Overall, our results demonstrate that under current environmental conditions, raspberry flowers may not be the exclusive or major route of infection for grey mould of red raspberry in northwestern Washington. Implications of current findings for management and further research are discussed.

设施栽培番茄灰霉病(Botrytis cinerea Pers)发生规律初步研究

为了掌握番茄灰霉病的发生发展规律。通过单体大棚和联体大棚栽培试验,研究大棚温湿度变化、番茄灰霉病发生时间和消长动态,并分析了番茄灰霉病发生与生育期、温湿度和叶花果病情的关系。从3月初至6月中旬,单体大棚和联体大棚湿度变化均呈两谷三峰的趋势,而温度变化表现为跳跃式波动。联体大棚相对湿度较单体大棚变化幅度大,且相对湿度略低。联体大棚温度变化比单体大棚平稳,且略低于单体大棚。早播、中播和晚播番茄的病害初发期分别为4月2日、4月7日和5月7日,中播和晚播番茄的最高病指明显低于早播番茄。番茄移栽越早,发病越早,病情越严重。单体大棚番茄灰霉病发病高峰期在4月底~5月上旬,集中出现在5月初。联体大棚番茄各轮花果灰霉病的发病高峰期在4月中下旬~5月中下旬,集中出现在4月底~5月初。10~15℃中低温和90%以上的相对湿度最利于病害发生。叶病发生情况与花、果病发生无显著相关,而花、果病的发生显著正相关。该研究为建立番茄灰霉病预测模型奠定了基础。
