我国烟草青枯菌的种下多样性及统一用名问题商榷

烟草青枯病在我国许多烟区普遍发生,17个主要烟草种植区中有14个发生了青枯病,近年来,该病的危害范围有逐渐向北和冷凉地区扩展蔓延之势,造成了严重的经济损失.在传统分类中烟草青枯菌属于生理小种1号;在生化变种及演化型分类中,我国大多数烟草菌株为生化变种3(但也有部分为生化变种4),演化型Ⅰ,而美洲的烟草青枯菌则属于生化变种1,演化型Ⅱ;烟草青枯菌具有序列变种多样性,美洲菌株可聚类为序列变种7和25等,中国烟草青枯菌则属于序列变种13,14,15,17,34,44,54和55.学者们基于DNA-DNA杂交、基因组、蛋白质组及代谢组等证据提议将青枯菌这一复合种重新划分为3个新的种,即Ralstonia solanacearumsp.nov.(原本的演化型Ⅱ菌株),R.syzygii sp.nov.(原本的演化型IV菌株,包括苏门答腊病的病原及香蕉血液病细菌),R.pseudosolanacearumsp.nov.(原本的演化型Ⅰ和演化型Ⅲ菌株).基于此,美洲烟草青枯菌菌株为R.solanacearum,而我国的烟草青枯菌菌株为R.pseudosolanacearum,建议将我国烟草青枯病菌的中文名称为:假茄科雷尔氏菌.

Genetic diversity of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Ralstonia solanacearum</Emphasis> strains from China

A survey of bacterial wilt in China collected 286 strains of Ralstonia solanacearum from 17 plant species in 13 Chinese provinces to investigate genetic diversity using the biovar (bv.) and phylotype classification schemes. A phylotype-specific multiplex-PCR showed that 198 isolates belonged to phylotype I (bv. 3, 4 and 5) and 68 to phylotype II (bv. 2 and bv. 1). A phylogenetic analysis examined the partial sequence of the egl and hrpB gene of all strains and the genetic diversity of 95 representatives was reported, demonstrating that Chinese strains are partitioned into phylotype I (Asia) and II (Americas). Phylotype I strains (historically typed bv. 3, 4 and 5), had considerable phylogenetic diversity, including 10 different sequevars: seven previously described sequevars 12 to 18 and three new sequevars: 34, 44 and 48. Chinese strains Z1, Z2, Z3, Z7, Pe74 and Tm82 were not genetically distinguishable from the edible ginger reference strain ACH92 (r4-bv. 4) for sequevar 16. This is believed to be the first report of this ginger group in China. All Chinese bv. 2 strains falling into the genetically and phenotypically diverse phylotype II were placed into phylotype IIB sequevar 1 (historically the Andean race3-bv. 2 potato brown rot agent). In both the egl and hrpB sequence-based trees, strains isolated from mulberry were present in two distinct branches found in sequevars 12 and 48 (reference strains R292 and M2, respectively).     

Diversity among Ralstonia solanacearum strains isolated from the southeastern United States

This is the first comprehensive study of a collection of Ralstonia solanacearum strains from the southeastern United States to be characterized based on biovar, pathogenicity, hypersensitive reaction on tobacco, and phylogenetic analyses of the egl sequence. Rigorous phylogenetic analysis of the commonly used egl gene produced robust phylogenies that differed significantly from a neighbor-joining tree differed from and previously published phylogenies for R. solanacearum strains. These robust trees placed phylotype IV within the phylotype I clade, which may suggest that phylogenies based solely on egl may be misleading. As a result of phylogenetic analyses in this study, we determined that U.S. strains from Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and older Florida strains isolated from solanaceous crops all belong to phylotype II sequevar 7. However, many strains recently isolated in Florida from tomato and other crops were more diverse than the southeastern United States population. These unique Florida strains grouped with strains mostly originating from the Caribbean and Central America. One of the exotic strains, which in a previous study was determined to be established in northern Florida, was characterized more extensively. Upon using Musa-specific multiplex polymerase chain reaction, this strain produced a unique banding pattern, which has not previously been reported. Inoculation of this strain into Musa spp. did not result in wilt symptoms; however, the plants were stunted and root masses were significantly reduced. Furthermore, following root inoculation, the bacterium, unlike a typical Florida race 1 biovar 1 strain, was recovered from the roots and stems, indicating systemic movement. This is the first report of an R. solanacearum strain isolated in the United States that is deleterious to the growth of Musa plants.     

Diversity and distribution of Ralstonia solanacearum strains in Guatemala and rare occurrence of tomato fruit infection

Fifty-nine Ralstonia solanacearum isolates from diverse crops and regions were collected and characterized to determine the distribution and diversity of this soilborne pathogen in Guatemala. Three distinct types were present: a phylotype I, sequevar 14 strain, probably originating from Asia, infecting tomatoes and aubergines at moderate elevations; a phylotype II, sequevar 6 strain of American origin causing Moko disease in lowland banana plantations; and a phylotype II, sequevar 1 (race 3 biovar 2) strain causing brown rot on potatoes, Southern wilt of Pelargonium spp. and bacterial wilt of greenhouse tomatoes at high elevations. These data on strain diversity will inform effective regional efforts to breed for wilt resistance. A sensitive enrichment method did not detect the pathogen in fruits from naturally infected commercial tomato plants in Guatemalan fields and greenhouses, although it was detected in 6% of fruits from a wilt-resistant hybrid. Low numbers of R. solanacearum cells were also infrequently detected in fruits from plants artificially inoculated in the growth chamber with either race 3 biovar 2 or a phylotype II tomato strain.     

Diversity of Ralstonia solanacearum causing potato bacterial wilt in Iran and the first record of phylotype II/biovar 2T strains outside South America

The diversity of 40 strains of Ralstonia solanacearum causing bacterial wilt of potato in the major potato-growing areas of Iran was assessed. Based on rep-PCR genomic fingerprinting, strains fell into two distinct groups. The first group contained 37 of the 40 strains and the second consisted of three strains from a narrow tropical region in Iran. The three strains from the narrow tropical region were found to be phenotypically and genotypically most similar to R. solanacearum biovar 2T strains, whereas all other strains were phenotypically and genotypically identified as being R. solanacearum biovar 2/race 3. Phylogenetic analysis of endoglucanase gene sequence information of two of the strains from the tropical region revealed that they belonged to phylotype II of the R. solanacearum species complex and had 100% sequence similarity to a biovar 2T strain from potato in Peru. This is the first report of the presence of R. solanacearum phylotype II/biovar 2T in Iran and the first report of the existence of this group of R. solanacearum outside South America.     

Genetic diversity of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Ralstonia solanacearum</Emphasis> strains causing bacterial wilt of solanaceous crops in Myanmar

In 2013 and 2014, an extensive survey of bacterial wilt in Myanmar was performed, and 70 strains of Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs) were collected from wilting plants of tomato, potato, chili and eggplant. Myanmar Rs strains were characterized by traditional and molecular methods. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test using Rs-specific primer set amplified one specific band (281-bp) from template DNA of all strains. Pathogenicity tests on the four solanaceous plants differentiated the strains into six pathogenic groups. Biovar determination tests showed that biovar 3 strains predominated (63%) among all Rs strains. Biovar 4 strains (7%) were obtained from both tomato and chili strains, whereas biovar 2 (30%) strains were isolated only from potato. Multiplex-PCR analysis indicated that tomato, eggplant and chili strains belonged to phylotype I, whereas potato strains comprised phylotype I and phylotype II. Strains in phylotype I, which was suggested to have originated from Asia, were the most prevalent in all surveyed areas. Phylogenetic analysis based on the endoglucanase (egl) gene sequences revealed that Myanmar strains partitioned into two major clusters that corresponded to phylotype I and II. Strains in phylotype I were further divided into seven subclusters, each corresponding to a distinct sequevar (15, 17, 46, 47, 48, unknown 1 or unknown 2). All strains in phylotype II belonged to sequevar 1. This is the first comprehensive report of the presence of diverse Rs strains in Myanmar.     

Diversity of Ralstonia solanacearum Infecting Eggplant in the Philippines

ABSTRACT The diversity of Ralstonia solanacearum strains isolated from eggplant (Solanum melongena) grown in five provinces of the Philippine island group of Luzon was assessed using a recently described hierarchical system. All strains keyed to race 1, biovar 3 or 4. Phylotype-specific multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) indicated that, like most other strains of Asian origin, all the strains in our Philippine collection belong to phylotype I. Taxometric and phylogenetic analyses of partial endoglucanase gene sequences of strains from this collection and those previously deposited into GenBank revealed at least four subgroups among the otherwise monophyletic phylotype I strains. Nucleotide polymorphisms within each subgroup were infrequent and, among the subgroups identified in this study, variation was always <1.3%, indicating that the large majority of strains could be assigned to a single sequevar. Genomic DNA fingerprinting using enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-PCR revealed additional fine-scale genetic variation that was consistent with the endogluconase sequence data. Whole-pattern and band-based analyses of the genomic fingerprint data revealed four and eight distinct genotypes, respectively, within our collection. Eggplant from infested fields in different provinces tended to harbor mixed populations of ERIC genotypes, with the predominant genotype varying by location.     

Potato bacterial wilt in India caused by strains of phylotype I, II and IV of Ralstonia solanacearum

Bacterial wilt or brown rot is one of the most devastating diseases of potato caused by a bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith 1986) Yabuuchi et al. (Microbiol Immunol 39:897–904 1995). Traditionally, R. solanacearum is classified into five races (r) on the basis of differences in host range and six biovars (bvs) on the basis of biochemical properties. Recently using molecular methods, R.?solanacearum has been classified into phylotypes based on the intergenic transcribed sequence of the ribosomal RNA genes 16S and 23S and into sequevars based on the endoglucanase gene (egl) sequence. In the present study, 75 bacterial strains, isolated from wilt infected potatoes from various potato growing regions of India, were classified by traditional and molecular methods. The identity of all the strains was confirmed as R. solanacearum as expected single 280-bp fragment resulted in all the strains following PCR amplification using R. solanacearum specific universal primer pair 759/760. Biovar (bv) analysis, based on utilization of disaccharide sugars and hexose alcohols, categorised the 75 strains into bv2 (78.7 %), 2 T (5.3 %), 3 (5.3 %) and 4 (10.7 %). The phylotype specific multiplex PCR assigned 78.7 % strains to phylotype II, 16.0 % to phylotype I and 5.3 % to phylotype IV. Phylogenetic analysis of egl gene sequences clustered all fifty nine phylotype II (bv2) strains with reference strain IPO1609 (IIB-1), all four phylotype IV (bv2T) strains with reference strain MAFF301558 (IV-8), three phylotype I (bv3) strains with reference strain MAFF211479 (I-30) and all eight phylotype I (bv4) and one phylotype I (bv3) strain with reference strain CIP365 (I-45). The study concluded that the Indian potato strains of R. solanacearum belong to three out of four phylotypes namely: the Asian phylotype I, the American phylotype II, and the Indonesian phylotype IV. This is the first study to address the diversity of R. solanacearum from potato in India using phylotype and sequevar scheme. We also report here for the first time the occurrence of phylotype IV sequevar 8 (bv2T) strain of R. solanacearum causing potato bacterial wilt in mid hills of Meghalaya in India.     

Molecular typing of Japanese strains of Ralstonia solanacearum in relation to the ability to induce a hypersensitive reaction in tobacco

The genetic diversity of 120 Ralstonia solanacearum strains isolated from a variety of host plants across Japan was assessed on the basis of hypersensitive response (HR) in tobacco leaves and phylogenetic analyses of endoglucanase gene egl, hrpB, and gyrB. Phylogenetic analysis of egl revealed that only three strains belonged to phylotype IV, and 117 strains belonged to phylotype I. Partial sequences of HrpB were identical among phylotype I strains except for one strain. Analyses using the partial nucleotide sequences of the gyrB and egl gene fragments grouped phylotype I strains into 11 gyrB and 8 egl types, respectively, whereas analyses using the partial amino acid sequences of GyrB and Egl grouped phylotype I strains into 4 GyrB and 5 Egl types, respectively. Using multilocus sequence typing of GyrB and Egl, we identified 10 unique sequence types within the Japanese phylotype I strains. Strains belonging to the GyrB42 or GyrB66 type caused wilt in tobacco, and strains belonging to GyrB2 or GyrB9 type elicited HR, demonstrating that HR induction in tobacco is genetically differentiated in the Japanese strains of R. solanacearum.     

The sequevar distribution of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Ralstonia solanacearum</Emphasis> in tobacco-growing zones of China is structured by elevation

Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, is a devastating disease resulting in tremendous losses of economic crops such as plants in the Solanaceae. Recent studies showed that R. solanacearum is spreading from the lowlands to the highlands in China. We studied 97 Chinese R. solanacearum strains that were isolated from four tobacco-growing zones over a wide range of elevations using phylotype specific multiplex polymerase chain reaction (Pmx-PCR) and phylogenetic relationships (egl and mutS). The results showed that all isolates belonged to phylotype I, which were further clustered into eight egl-sequence type groups (egl-group, sequevar): sequevars 13, 14, 15, 17, 34, 44, 54, and 55. In addition, Sequevar 55, found from the highlands, was a new/unknown one. Southeast China (Z3) had the largest number of egl-groups, containing six sequevars. The basin of the Yangzi River (Z1) and southwestern China (Z2) contained five egl-groups. The basin of the Huai River (Z4), near the north of China, where slight bacterial wilt occurred recently, contained a single group, sequevar 15. The distribution of sequevars was associated with elevation. Sequevar 15 was over-represented in lowland elevations, while sequevar 54 and the new/unknown one were only found in areas of moderate to high elevations. This finding suggested that the phylotype I strains infecting tobacco were diverse in China and regional integrated control strategies should be considered.
