进境柠檬样品上柑桔溃疡病菌的检测

从进境柠檬样品上分离到一株疑似柑桔溃疡病菌的分离物X206,对分离物进行了菌落形态学特征观察、16S r RNA序列测定、PCR检测、Biolog测定及致病性测试。试验结果表明分离物X206在NA培养基上形成黄色,有光泽,圆形,全缘,微隆起,粘稠状的菌落。特异引物Xac01/Xac02扩增分离物X206的DNA得到582bp的预期产物,产物序列与柑桔溃疡病菌序列的相似性为100%。其16S r RNA序列与柑桔溃疡病菌的序列完全一致。Biolog测定将分离物X206和柑桔溃疡病菌阳性菌株FZ01均鉴定为Xanthomonas campestris pv.dieffenbachiae。致病性测试显示分离物X206能导致柑桔叶片产生明显的溃疡病斑。根据试验结果将分离物X206鉴定为柑桔溃疡病菌(Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.citri)。     

Susceptibility to citrus canker caused by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Xanthomonas axonopodis</Emphasis> pv. <Emphasis Type="Italic">citri</Emphasis> depends on the nuclear genome of the host plant

Susceptibility to Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri of a citrus cybrid, in which the nuclear and cytoplasmic genomes were derived from Citrus sinensis and C. unshiu, respectively, was evaluated. Bacterial growth in the leaves of the cybrid was similar to that in C. sinensis after pin-prick inoculation throughout the experiment, whereas growth was greater than that in C. unshiu from 8 days after inoculation. Lesion expansion and pustules that later developed from the lesions on the cybrid and on C. sinensis also appeared to be greater than those on C. unshiu. The incidence of citrus canker disease caused by the bacteria on the cybrid trees was in the field was equivalent to that on C. sinensis but was severer than on C. unshiu. These results indicate that the nuclear genome of the cybrid plays a critical role in susceptibility to citrus canker disease. However, the pathogenicity gene pthA of the bacteria is not likely to be involved in the difference in susceptibility to the bacteria between C. unshiu and C. sinensis because their susceptibility to a pthA-deficient mutant of the bacteria also differs.     

柑橘溃疡病菌免疫荧光和生物学检测技术研究

本研究通过对7个不同柑橘品种的离体叶片接种及致病性观察筛选出了柑橘溃疡病菌敏感寄主材料，并建立了柑橘溃疡病菌的生物学检测方法；还初次尝试建立了一种简便易行的柑橘溃疡病菌免疫荧光快速鉴定方法。柑橘离体叶片接种实验结果表明：福本、红肉脐橙、纽荷尔和枳壳对柑橘溃疡病菌表现出一定的感病性，而粗柠檬和邓肯葡萄柚未表现出明显感病迹象，反而出现了坏死性应激反应。免疫荧光试验结果显示：浓度为10^3cfu／mL的菌液在30℃下用BSA封闭2h，30℃下抗体结合1h，荧光抗体浓度为4μg,／mL，室温放置40min后镜检，就可以在荧光显微镜下清晰地看到绿色的柑橘溃疡病菌体，而用该方法检测不到水稻白叶枯病菌。用免疫荧光抗体检测柑橘溃疡病菌操作简便，仅需一台荧光显微镜，整个检测过程仅需要4h。     

Hpa1 secretion via type III secretion system in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Xanthomonas oryzae</Emphasis> pv. <Emphasis Type="Italic">oryzae</Emphasis>

In many Gram-negative plant pathogenic bacteria the type III secretion system (TTSS), encoded by hrp genes, is essential for pathogenicity in the host and induction of a hypersensitive reaction (HR) in nonhost plants. The expression of hrp genes has been suggested to be repressed in complex media, whereas it is induced in planta and under certain in vitro conditions. We recently reported that XOM2 medium allows efficient hrp expression by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae. In this study, we investigated hrp-dependent secretion of proteins by the bacteria in vitro. Using modified XOM2, in which bovine serum albumin was added and the pH was lowered to 6.0, we detected at least 10 secreted proteins and identified one as Hpa1. This is the first evidence of protein secretion via TTSS in X. oryzae pv. oryzae.     

水稻白叶枯病菌Zur和HrpG平行调控hrcC基因表达

 水稻白叶枯病菌(Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, Xoo)的III型分泌系统(Type III secretion system, T3SS)由hrp基因簇编码,其决定在寄主水稻上的致病性。hrcC是hrp基因簇中hrpA转录单元仅有的一个基因,推测编码T3SS的核心组分蛋白。在Xoo中,hrcC在致病性中的功能以及受调控的机制仍未明确。本研究构建了hrcC的缺失突变体及其功能互补子,发现hrcC缺失使Xoo丧失了在寄主水稻上的致病性以及在非寄主烟草上激发过敏反应(Hypersensitive response, HR)的能力,功能互补子能够恢复这些表型至野生型水平。启动子GUS活性的定量测定和蛋白免疫杂交试验,证明hrcC的转录表达依赖于主要的hrp调控子HrpG,而不受HrpX调控;HrpG和铁转运家族类调控子(Ferric uptake regulator family)Zur以平行独立的方式正调控hrcC基因的转录表达。异源功能互补、启动子活性和蛋白表达试验发现Xoo和水稻条斑病菌(Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola, Xoc)的hrcC基因在致病性上的功能具有互置性,以及受HrpG、HrpX和Zur的调控模式也具有相似性。这些研究为进一步解析黄单胞菌的hrp调控网络与全毒性调控网络之间的交叉提供了新的线索。

两种植物病原黄单胞菌基因组中同义密码子使用的分析

 根据已释放的基因组序列,对野油菜黄单胞菌野油菜致病变种(Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris,Xcc)和地毯草黄单胞菌柑桔致病变种(X. axonopodis pv. citri,Xac)的密码子使用进行了分析。相对同义密码子使用值(relative synonymous codon usage,RSCU)的计算表明,它们具有高度相似的密码子使用模式。2个基因组密码子第3位的GC含量(GC3s)平均达0.806±0.077(Xcc)和0.791±0.075(Xac),倾向于使用GC含量较高的密码子。对有效密码子数量和密码子适应指数的分析表明,Xcc与Xac基因组中,高表达基因具有较高的GC含量,倾向于使用少数种类的密码子,而低表达基因具有较高的AT含量,倾向于随机地使用密码子。对密码子使用绝对次数进行的对应分析也证明了上述结论。同时,计算也证明了基因在基因组中的位置不影响密码子使用的模式。因此,基因组的GC含量、基因的表达水平和基因的种类与起源是影响这2个基因组密码子使用的主要因素。

Participation of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri hrp cluster in citrus canker and nonhost plant responses

The participation of the Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri hypersensitive response and pathogenicity ( hrp ) cluster in interactions with host and nonhost plants was characterized in pathogenicity and avirulence models. The hrp cluster encodes the type III secretion system indispensable for trafficking of proteins to the plant cell. Mutations in operons hrpB and hrpD and the hrpF gene failed to produce canker in citrus plants or hypersensitive response in cotton plants. The interaction of the phytopathogen with various nonhost plants has been characterized . The results showed that the hypersensitive response is activated in leaves of cotton, bean, tobacco, tomato, pepper and Nicotiana benthamiana , and that genes present in operons hrpB and hrpD and the hrpF gene are required for pathogenicity in hosts and induction of the hypersensitive response in nonhost plants.     

Survival of the Anthurium Blight Pathogen, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. Dieffenbachiae, in Field Crop Residues

Bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. dieffenbachiae (Xad), is a major threat to the anthurium cut flower industry worldwide. Two field trials in Hawaii evaluated the long-term persistence of Xad in artificially-infested crop residues. Xad survived in leaf, petiole, and root residues for as long as 4 months when tissues were left on the surface or buried 15cm deep. Survival was considerably shorter (approximately 20 days) outside of residues. Xad that was recovered from residues over a period of 4 months retained pathogenicity. Xad was isolated from living roots of naturally-infected plants which further suggests that roots left in the field after culling may be particularly important, but overlooked, inoculum source. This information is key to determining minimum fallow periods before replanting devastated fields.     

Characterization of pathotypes among isolates of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis in Colombia

Cassava bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis ( Xam ) is a destructive disease occurring in most cassava growing-areas. Although Colombian isolates of Xam differ in DNA polymorphism and pathogenicity, no suitable host differentials have been identified to demonstrate physiological specialization. A set of 26 Xam isolates from three edaphoclimatic zones (ECZs) in Colombia was selected for inoculation on a set of 17 potential cassava differentials. Leaf inoculation and stem puncture were used in order to detect possible specific interactions between cultivars and isolates. Cultivar × isolate interaction was highly significant ( P  < 0·001) after stem inoculation, but not after leaf inoculation. The stem inoculation technique was selected as a method for resistance screening of cassava cultivars for bacterial blight resistance. A highly significant interaction was also detected when cultivar behaviour was rated as area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) after stem inoculation. Different pathotypes were defined among the 26 isolates and differential cultivars were proposed to define the pathotypic composition of Xam populations in three ECZs in Colombia. The results should help to improve selection of sources of resistance to cassava bacterial blight.     

Genotype × environment Effects on Severity of Cassava Bacterial Blight Disease caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis

Nine cassava genotypes were grown for three years at six sites representing three agro-ecological zones in Nigeria to study their reaction to cassava bacterial blight (CBB), investigate genotype × environment (G × E) interaction patterns for their reaction to CBB, and to identify genotypes with stability to the disease, using the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) statistical model. Environments, genotypes and G × E interactions accounted for 71.8%, 12.0% and 16.2% of the treatment sums of squares (SS), and were highly significant (P<0.0001) for the disease, indicating that genotypes responded differentially to CBB infection across environments. Clones 30555, 91934, U/41044, and 4(2)1425 showed the least CBB disease ratings. Other clones showed erratic and fluctuating reactions to CBB from environment to environment and were thus considered unstable to the disease. CBB was most severe in 1989 (with a mean score of 2.46) and least so in 1990 (with a score of 2.06). The sites with the most disease were Ibadan, Ilorin and Ubiaja (1989), Ibadan and Ubiaja (1990) and Mokwa (1991). Because of the favourable conditions for disease development at those sites, they could be appropriate for screening cassava genotypes for CBB resistance. The AMMI model selected AMMI1 as the best predictor for CBB because it had the smallest actual root mean square prediction difference (0.37646), and explained 90.7% of the G × E interaction for CBB. The AMMI model was successful in selecting the genotypes 30555, U/41044 and 4(2)1425 and the environments Ibadan 1989, Ilorin 1989 and Onne 1990 with stability of reaction to the disease.     

Xanthomonas campestris pv. populi,the causal agent of bark necrosis in poplar

A bacterium was isolated from superficial bark necroses on young poplars and its pathogenicity demonstrated by inoculation experiments. The organism was identified asXanthomonas campestris. Cross-inoculations showed that a previously undescribed pathovar was involved. It is suggested to designate this organismX. campestris pv.populi.Samenvatting Uit een oppervlakkige bastnecrose bij jonge populieren werd massaal een bepaalde bacterie geïsoleerd. Met deze bacterie werden gezonde populieren in het veld geïnoculeerd via verwonding van de bast. Als gevolg van de inoculaties ontwikkelden zich bij ongeveer 40% van de geïnoculeerde bomen hetzelfde type bastnecrosen, terwijl bij de controleplanten geen enkele reactie optrad. Uit de kunstmatig verkregen necrosen werd dezelfde bacterie geïsoleerd.Identificatie met biochemische en serologische methoden toonde aan dat de bacterieXanthomonas campestris was.Vervolgens werden in de kas kruisinoculaties uitgevoerd met verschillende xanthomonaden op populier, wilg, kool en geranium. DeX. campestris isolaten uit populier tastten behalve populier ook wilg aan. De andere gebruikte stammen waren waardplant-specifiek, al bleven sommigen ervan minstens acht maanden in leven in een niet-waardplant, evenwel zonder symptomen te veroorzaken. Geconcludeerd wordt, dat de bastnecrosen zijn veroorzaakt door een nog niet beschreven pathovar vanX. campestris. Voorgesteld wordt om deze bacterieXanthomonas campestris pv.populi te noemen.     

Differentiation of Xanthomonas campestris pv. Phaseoli from Xanthomonas campestris pv. Phaseoli var. Fuscans by PFGE and RFLP

Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli and X. campestris pv. phaseoli var. fuscans, the causal agents of the common and fuscous bacterial blight of beans, appear to be phenotypically identical except that the latter can produce a melanin-like pigment in culture. Ten isolates of X. campestris pv. phaseoli and 12 isolates of X. campestris pv. phaseoli var. fuscans were examined using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). The average genome sizes for X. campestris pv. phaseoli and X. campestris pv. phaseoli var. fuscans were 3850.6±48.9 and 3584.3±68.1kb respectively. The genetic relatedness of the isolates was determined from macrorestriction patterns generated using XbaI. Cluster analysis indicated that the non-fuscous and fuscous strains are distinct. RFLP results, based on the highly conserved hrp genes and a pectate lyase gene from Xanthomonas, also indicated that the two bacteria are genetically different. The results obtained in this study suggest that this pathovar can be segregated into two subgroups under a recently proposed reclassification of the Xanthomonas genus.     

Metabolic Diversity of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. vignicola, Causal Agent of Cowpea Bacterial Blight and Pustule

Fifty-five strains of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. vignicola, isolated from blight and pustule symptoms of cowpea leaves, originating from 11 countries, were characterized for their carbon-source metabolization pattern using the Biolog GN microplate system. Great variation was found between strains according to origin. Dextrin, glycogen and succinamic acid were not used by strains from Benin, Uganda or Thailand, but by all the other strains (excluding two strains from Mozambique), whereas N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and malonic acid were used by the strains from Benin, Uganda and Thailand, but generally not by the other strains. The strains from Benin, Uganda and Thailand, as well as strains from Venezuela, Brazil and Mozambique, clustered separately from the others in multivariate analysis. Nineteen substrates were used by all the strains, 47 not by any strain and 29 only by some strains. No considerable differences were found between strains isolated from blight symptoms and from pustules. Virulence of strains was not related to the metabolic pattern. The Biolog database was not representative of the diversity of X. axonopodis pv. vignicola, since all strains were identified as Xanthomonas campestris, although belonging to eight pathovars, while only eight of nine strains from Benin and both strains from Thailand were identified as X. campestris pv. vignicola. The Biolog system appeared to be useful for characterizing the diversity of X. axonopodis pv. vignicola strains. A set of representative strains based on metabolic and molecular diversity, virulence and geographic origin is suggested for screening for resistant cowpea cultivars.     

进境菜豆种子中普通细菌性疫病菌的分离和鉴定

对经甘肃口岸进境的30批菜豆Phaseolus vulgaris种子进行了普通细菌性疫病菌的检测,利用选择性培养基MT从波兰进境菜豆种子上分离到1株细菌597,对该分离物进行菌落形态特征观察、致病性测定、16S rDNA及16S-23S rDNA ITS序列分析和特异性PCR检测。结果表明,该分离物在MT培养基上菌落呈黄色、圆形、黏稠、表面光滑向外隆起、菌落周围有水解圈。分离物597接种菜豆幼苗后导致叶片枯萎,接种点干枯。结合菌落形态、16S-23S rDNA ITS序列、特异性PCR检测结果,将分离物597鉴定为地毯草黄单胞杆菌菜豆致病变种Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.phaseoli。     

A study on the molecular mechanism of resistance to amicarthiazol in Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri

Three amicarthiazol-resistant mutants (Xuv10, Xuv20 and Xuv40) were obtained by UV induction and used in this study. Minimal inhibition concentrations (MICs) of amicarthiazol against the growth of mutants and wild-type isolate were 400 and 100 microg ml(-1) respectively. Inhibition by amicarthiazol of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activities of Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri (Hasse) Dye wild-type isolate (Xcc) and three resistant mutants derived from this isolate were assayed using triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC). The SDH activities of these mutants were significantly lower than that of Xcc. The complete nucleotide sequences of four subunits (SdhA, SdhB, SdhC and SdhD) of succinate-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (SQR) were cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. An amino acid mutation (His229--> Leu229) in sdhB was found to confer resistance of X. campestris pv. citri to amicarthiazol. It is suggested that this mutation alters the SDH complex in some way that prevents binding of amicarthiazol.
