Effect of Pathogen Synergistic Pathogenicity on Severity of Verticillium Wilt of Cotton

Verticillium dahliae is a soil-borne and vascular pathogen causing Verticillium wilt of cotton, which is one of the most severe diseases affecting cotton production in China. Recently, a soil-inhabiting opportunistic pathogen was isolated and identified as Scopulariopsis gossypii; it could infect the host through wounds and increase disease severity in combination with V. dahliae. S. gossypii was able to form conidia in a nutritionally poor substrate and had similar biological characteristics to other vascular pathogens, while ultrastructure observation also confirmed that it was present in vascular tissue of cotton plants and produced conidia. Nematode activity in soil could cause wounds on the surface of cotton roots resulting in infection by the pathogens. On the basis of our analysis of the biological characteristics and infection process of S. gossypii and its interactions with other pathogens in cotton plants, we propose establishing a research program for multipathogen-host interactions in the cotton rhizosphere, which will enable detailed investigation of the synergistic pathogenesis of S. gossypii and V. dahliae.     

Milk vetch dwarf virus infection in the Solanaceae and Caricaceae families in Southeast Asia

Milk vetch dwarf virus (MDV) is an important member of the genus Nanovirus and is transmitted by the aphid Aphis craccivora. MDV has multiple single-stranded DNA genome components, each approximately 1 kb, and two or three alpha-satellite molecules. It mainly infects plants of the legume family Fabaceae. Recently, papaya (Carica papaya) collected in Yesan, South Korea, displaying symptoms of leaf yellowing and dwarfism, was identified as a new host for MDV. To examine the geographical distribution of MDV, papaya samples with symptoms were harvested in South Korea, Vietnam, and Taiwan in August 2018, along with tomato and pepper samples grown in adjacent fields in Vietnam. The results revealed the presence of MDV not only in papaya but also in pepper and tomato. This MDV infection in members of the Solanaceae family was confirmed by Southern blot hybridization performed using a PCR product of segment S as a probe. Based on sequence analysis of three MDV components (M, S, and C3), we verified the presence of three different isolates of MDV in these three countries and homology between sequences of isolates from papaya and from members of the Solanaceae from Vietnam. Taken together, our results clearly demonstrate MDV infection in Vietnam and Taiwan for the first time and confirm that MDV can infect economically important pepper and tomato.     

西瓜品种‘黑皮’对瓜蚜的抗性遗传分析

采用单株蚜量比值法室内鉴定与RAPD、SCAR标记相结合的方法,系统开展了西瓜品种‘黑皮’对瓜蚜的抗性遗传分析。结果表明,以‘黑皮’和‘花绿’为亲本的杂交F₁代对瓜蚜表现为抗性,自交F₂代植株表型出现抗感性分离,抗蚜与感蚜植株分离比经χ²测验符合3∶1分离规律,并用筛选获得的RAPD标记WO4₆₀₀和SCAR标记WO4-S₅₃₀验证了4个抗蚜品种、4个感蚜品种和10个F₂抗蚜单株、10个F₂感蚜植株。结果以‘黑皮’为亲本的西瓜抗蚜性由单显性核基因控制且能稳定遗传,‘黑皮’‘绿美人’‘黑美人’和‘惠兰’品种对瓜蚜具有良好抗性,‘花绿’‘凤光’‘蕙宝’和‘甜美人’品种则易感蚜虫。     

棉蚜茧蜂对不同品种、不同生育期棉花的趋性行为反应

【目的】研究棉蚜茧蜂对不同品种、不同生育期棉花的趋性行为反应,为了解天敌昆虫与寄主之间关系,利用棉蚜茧蜂对棉蚜等害虫进行防控。【方法】以生产上大面积种植的GK-12(对照为泗棉3号)、新棉33B(亲本为新棉33)和SGK321(亲本为石远321)等3组棉花品种为材料,于棉花7叶期、现蕾前期和现蕾期,设计无虫棉植株、被棉蚜为害后剔除虫体的植株以及棉蚜+有虫株等3种不同处理,借助“Y”型嗅觉仪,检测棉蚜茧蜂在棉花不同生育期对这3种不同处理的趋性。【结果】棉蚜茧蜂无法识别健康的常规棉和转基因棉花植株;对不含棉蚜的被害棉来说,转基因棉对棉蚜茧蜂更具吸引力。而对含有棉蚜的有害棉来说,除7叶期GK12、新棉33B和现蕾期GK12这3组处理外,其他各组的转基因棉对棉蚜茧蜂均具较强的吸引作用。【结论】两类不同的棉花品种对棉蚜茧蜂不存在排斥性,棉蚜为害转基因棉花后更能吸引棉蚜茧蜂。

短期高温脉冲对瓜型棉蚜的抑制作用及其在防治中的应用

模拟北方冬暖式大棚内的日变温模式,试验了日最高温分别为33、35和37℃的高温脉冲对1～5日龄瓜型棉蚜即瓜蚜(Aphis gossypii Glover)繁殖和寿命的影响。与日最高温33℃和35℃的高温脉冲相比,日最高温37℃的高温脉冲能显著降低成蚜的寿命和终身生殖量,高日龄瓜蚜经历高温后的终身生殖量和寿命明显降低。在43℃和45℃下1～6 h的短期高温对1～5日龄瓜蚜存活率影响的试验结果表明,45℃高温下处理3 h,瓜蚜的平均存活率可降到70％以下;43℃高温下处理4 h,除低日龄瓜蚜有较低的存活率外,高日龄的全部死亡。表明高温闷棚防治温室瓜蚜在生产实践中可考虑适当降低温度、延长高温持续的时间,也能达到抑制瓜蚜种群增长目的。

Parasitoid complex (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Aphidiinae) of Aphis craccivora Koch (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea) in Iran

The parasitoids (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Aphidiinae) of the cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch, were investigated throughout two far distant provinces, Tehran and Sistan-Baluchestan. Colonies of the cowpea aphid were collected from different host plants and reared under laboratory conditions until the parasitoids emerged. The aphids were parasitized by an expected range of parasitoids. The species were Aphidius colemani Viereck, Lysiphlebus fabarum (Marshall), Lysiphlebus confusus Tremblay and Eady, Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson), Binodoxys acalephae (Marshall), Binodoxys angelicae (Haliday), Praon volucre (Haliday) and Ephedrus persicae Froggatt. L. testaceipes is reported here for the first time in Iran. The most common species was L. fabarum followed by B. acalephae and L. confusus. A key is provided for identification and host plant associations are considered.
