Over de vatbaarheid van niet-kruisbloemige planten voor het zoösporangium-stadium vanPlasmodiophora brassicae Woron

Samenvatting en bespreking Een vijftiental plantensoorten werd onderzocht op vatbaarheid voor het zoösporangium-stadium vanP. brassicae. Hiervan werdenTrifolium pratense, Reseda odorata enLolium perenne in zeer geringe mate, enPapaver rhoeas iets sterker aangetast. De mate van aantasting van deze laatste was echter nog aanzienlijk minder dan van als vergelijkingsobject gebruikte bloemkoolplantjes. Gezien deze resultaten is het niet waarschijnlijk, dat niet-cruciferen enigermate kunnen bijdragen tot de instandhouding of vermeerdering van de schimmel bij afwezigheid van kruisbloemigen. Evenmin is er reden te veronderstellen, dat niet-cruciferen als vangplanten voor het uitroeien van de rustsporen van groot practisch belang kunnen zijn.Summary Webb's (1949) discovery of zoosporangia ofP. brassicae in non-crucifers raises the question of further means of multiplication and survival in the soil (MacFarlane, 1952). Perhaps the fungus can maintain itself in successive generations of zoosporangia in root hairs of these plants. From there it might in turn infect crucifers and produce a fresh crop of resting spores. This must be kept in mind when considering the possibility of eradicating the fungus from the soil by growing non-crucifers which stimulate the resting spores to germinate. If survival in root hairs were important, plants for this purpose would need to resist the zoosporangial stage as well as stimulate spore germination.In the present study a number of non-crucifers was tested for susceptibility to the zoosporangial stage by a method already described (Kole, 1955). In addition, the rate of infection of susceptible non-crucifers was compared with that of cabbage grown under the same conditions. Of seven non-crucifers, not tested before, onlyTrifolium pratense became infected.MacFaralane's findings of non-cruciferous hosts were confirmed forPapaver rhoeas, Reseda odorata andLolium perenne (Table 1). In all the susceptible non-crucifers exceptPapaver rhoeas, infection was very sligth. There were more infections onPapaver rhoeas than on the other non-crucifers but fewer than on cabbage, which was heavily infected. On the basis of these results it is not thought that the occurrence of non-cruciferous hosts ofP. brassicae will generally be of great practical importance.     

芸薹根肿菌（Plasmodiophora brassicae）单孢分离接种及生理小种的鉴定

芸薹根肿菌(Plasmodiophora brassicae)单孢分离接种方法曾有报道,本试验改进了国外单孢分离技术.将休眠孢子悬浮液稀释到1个/0.5 μL,滴在一块消过毒的载玻片上,放置在显微镜下反复检查,以确保它精确只含有一个孢子.用微管将孢子吸入接种在2日龄白菜幼苗根毛上,营养液培养3周.为使其更接近田间发病环境条件,后期将疑似发病根在无菌土中继续进行病菌增繁.该方法能够有效地加快病菌繁殖感染,提高单孢分离接种成功率.对不同地区病菌进行大量单孢分离接种.本试验对3个地区的病菌单孢接种共950株,接种成功27株,使用Williams根肿病菌鉴别寄主鉴定,共9个生理小种.     

Identification of Brassica accessions resistant to ‘old’ and ‘new’ pathotypes of Plasmodiophora brassicae from Canada

Genetic resistance is the main tool used to manage clubroot of canola (Brassica napus) in Canada. However, the emergence of new virulent strains of the clubroot pathogen, Plasmodiophora brassicae, has complicated canola breeding efforts. In this study, 386 Brassica accessions were screened against five single-spore isolates (represented by pathotypes 2F, 3H, 5I, 6M and 8N on the Canadian Clubroot Differential Set) and 17 field isolates (represented by 12 unique pathotypes: 2B, 3A, 3D, 3O, 5C, 5G, 5K, 5L, 5X, 8E, 8J and 8P) of P. brassicae to identify resistance sources effective against these strains. The results showed that one B. rapa accession (CDCNFG-046, mean index of disease (ID) = 3.3%) and two B. nigra accessions (CDCNFG-263, mean ID = 3.1%; and CDCNFG-262, mean ID = 4.7%) possessed excellent resistance to all 22 of the isolates evaluated. Fifty other accessions showed differential clubroot reactions (resistant, moderately resistant or susceptible), including 27 (one B. napus, two B. rapa, four B. oleracea and 20 B. nigra) accessions that were each resistant to 8–21 P. brassicae isolates, but developed mean IDs in the range of 5.3–29.6%. The remaining 23 accessions (two B. napus, one B. rapa, five B. oleracea and 15 B. nigra) were each resistant to 3–13 isolates, but developed mean IDs in the range of 30.3–47.0%. The three accessions that showed absolute resistance and the 50 accessions that showed differential clubroot reactions could be used to breed for resistance to the new P. brassicae strains.     

Temporal modulation of oxidant and antioxidative responses in Brassica carinata during β-aminobutyric acid-induced resistance against Alternaria brassicae

A preinoculative foliar application of 5 mM BABA significantly inhibited the colonization of Alternaria brassicae on leaves of Brassica carinata susceptible cultivar car6. BABA treatment led to transient but significant increase in H₂O₂ level during early stages of pathogen colonization. A significant increase in superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), guaiacol dependent peroxidase (GDP) contributed to inhibition of the oxidative stress in BABA treated plants in response to pathogen infection. In conclusion BABA treatment led to proper balance of oxidant & antioxidants suitable for expression of resistance resulting in curtail of pathogen ingress during early stages of colonization.     

Waarnemingen over het gedrag van zoösporen uit de zoösporangia vanOlpidium brassicae (wor.) dang

Summary The zoosporangial zoospores ofOlpidium brassicae are uniflagellate (fig. 1). Observations with a phase contrast microscope on living zoospores in watermounts showed that biflagellate zoospores resulted from zoospore fusion. Further, specimens were found with more than two flagella (fig. 2 and 3). As at zoospore discharge only uniflagellate zoospores occur, it may be, assumed that zoospores with more than two flagella are also the result of zoospore fusion. As there may be an analogy betweenO. brassicae andO. viciae,Kusano's explanation of the occurrence of compound zoospores with more than two flagella is discussed.

Effects of nC24 and nC27 petroleum spray oils on oviposition and egg survival of Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner (Lepidoptera,Pyralidae) and Trichogramma brassicae Bezdenko (Hymenoptera,Trichogrammatidae) adults on maize plants

Abstract

The study determined the effectiveness of nC24 and nC27 petroleum spray oils (PSOs) to reduce oviposition of Ostrinia nubilalis and survival of O. nubilalis eggs and Trichogramma brassicae adults. Under choice and no-choice tests, maize treated with 3, 5 and 10% (v/v) of both oils deter O. nubilalis oviposition on maize. The study also showed that treatment of 1 – 3-day-old O. nubilalis eggs with 1 and 2% (v/v) nC24 oil caused 6% mortality compared with 99.5% when treated with 3, 5 and 10% (v/v) oil. In contrast, treatment with 1 – 10% (v/v) nC27 oil caused 99% mortality. Trichogramma brassicae is a major parasitoid of O. nubilalis. The mortality of T. brassicae 24 h after exposure to maize sprayed with 2% (v/v) nC24 and nC27 oils was 8.3 and 12.7%, respectively. At 5% (v/v), the mortalities were 24.9 and 23.5%, respectively. Therefore, application of 3% (v/v) PSO may deter O. nubilalis egg lay, egg mortality and survival of T. brassicae on maize.
