Exogenous application of melatonin improves eradication of apple stem grooving virus from the infected in vitro shoots by shoot tip culture

Production and maintenance of virus-free planting materials is pivotal for the control of viral diseases. The present study attempted to test exogenous application of melatonin for eradication of apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) from virus-infected in vitro shoots of apple cultivar Gala. Exogenous application of 15 μm melatonin to the shoot proliferation medium significantly increased the number of shoots and shoot length. The level of endogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was the highest in the shoots proliferating on the shoot proliferation medium containing 15 μm melatonin. Shoot regrowth levels were significantly higher in shoot tips of the virus-infected shoots cultured for 4 weeks on this medium than the control. In addition, culture of shoot tips of the virus-infected in vitro shoots proliferated for 4 weeks on this medium resulted in 95% of shoots being virus-free, while no virus-free shoots were obtained in shoot tips of the virus-infected shoots cultured without melatonin. Analyses by microtissue direct RT-PCR and RT-qPCR showed that ASGV concentration decreased in shoot tips of the virus-infected shoots proliferating on the medium containing 15 μm melatonin for 4 weeks. Virus localization showed that exogenous application of melatonin enlarged the virus-free area in the virus-infected shoot tips. These data provide explanations as to why exogenous application of melatonin can efficiently eradicate ASGV. Exogenous application of melatonin provides an alternative means for plant virus eradication and has the potential to produce virus-free plants.

根据目前RNA介导的植物病毒抗性(RMVR)、转录后基因沉默(PTGS)的研究成果,综述了基因沉默可能是植物抵抗病毒的一种机制,深入研究基因沉默不仅在抗病机制上有重要的理论意义,而且对彻底解决植物病毒问题有较大的潜在实用价值.     

利用RNA介导的抗病性获得抗2种病毒的转基因烟草

 RNA介导的病毒抗性(RMVR)是近年发展起来的一种新的植物抗病毒基因工程策略,具有抗病性强、抗性持久、生物安全性高等特点。利用该策略培育多抗病毒植株具有广阔的应用前景和重要的实践意义。本研究将非翻译的马铃薯X病毒的衣壳蛋白(PVX-CP)基因和非翻译的马铃薯Y病毒的衣壳蛋白(PVY-CP)基因组成嵌合基因,构建植物表达载体pROKXY,利用农杆菌介导法转化烟草NC89,获得6株对PVX和PVY的混合侵染表现为免疫的转基因植株。分子分析表明,这种抗性为RNA介导的病毒抗性。这一研究结果为利用RMVR进行植物多抗病毒育种提供了重要数据和资料。     

马铃薯Y病毒HC-Pro、CI、NIb和CP基因介导的病毒抗性比较研究

 根据已克隆的马铃薯Y病毒坏死株系(PVY^N)的基因组序列设计引物,利用PCR扩增HC-Pro、CI、NIb和CP4个基因的3'端400bp cDNA区段,分别反向插入含有査尔酮合成酶基因(Chalcone synthase,CHS)内含子的双元载体pRCHS中,构建了含内含子的发夹结构RNA (intron splicing hpRNA,ihpRNA)表达载体pRCHS-HC-Pro、pRCHS-CI、pRCHS-NIb和pRCHS-CP。利用农杆菌介导法转化烟草品种NC89,获得了多种转基因植株。病毒抗性检测的结果显示:转pRCHS-HC-Pro、pRCHS-CI、pRCHS-NIb和pRCHS-CP的烟草中,抗性植株的比例分别为55.34%、73.69%、61.54%和84.21%。大分子RNA和siRNA的Northern blot分析表明,目的片段转录产物的积累量与转基因植株的抗病性呈负相关,转基因植株中可检测到siRNA,说明所获得的抗病性是RNA沉默介导的。     

水杨酸不同施用方式对诱导烟草抗病性的影响

本研究比较了以0.25、0.50和0.75mol/L水杨酸(SA)进行喷施、穿刺和化学农药防治烟草病害对田间烟草抗病性的影响。结果表明:外源喷施SA和吸附SA插签两种给药方式均能诱导烟草产生对烟草番茄斑萎病、黑胫病、普通花叶病、野火病和赤星病的抗性。SA诱导的抗性具有广谱性,且防效随着施用浓度的增加而增加,在0.75mol/L时达到最大。相同浓度下,SA穿刺处理对烟草的抗性诱导较喷施处理更佳。处理后,随时间的推移,喷施SA处理抗性诱导呈逐渐降低的趋势,而SA穿刺处理,对烟株的抗性诱导作用在处理后第20~30天达到最大,在后期对烟草番茄斑萎病、野火病以及赤星病的抗性诱导作用显著高于对照(P0.05)。综合分析表明,SA穿刺施药技术对烟株病害具有广谱性、持久性以及安全性等特点,能保持高抗性诱导作用40d以上,并能有效减少农药使用量和次数,降低烟叶原料农药残留,具有较好的推广应用价值。     

Systemic Potato virus YNTN infection and levels of salicylic and gentisic acids in different potato genotypes

Endogenous levels of free and conjugated salicylic (SA) and gentisic (GA) acids, both putative signal molecules in plant defence, were analysed in order to investigate their involvement in the resistance of four potato ( Solanum tuberosum ) genotypes with different susceptibilities to Potato virus Y^NTN (PVY^NTN) infection: the highly susceptible cv. Igor and its extremely resistant transgenic line, the extremely resistant cv. Sante and the tolerant cv. Pentland Squire. The lowest levels of free and conjugated SA were observed in the extremely resistant cv. Sante, while free GA, which was detected in all the other varieties, was absent. The extremely resistant transgenic cv. Igor contained the highest basal total SA level and the lowest level of total GA of all four cultivars. In susceptible cv. Igor, but not in resistant transgenic cv. Igor, a systemic increase of free SA was measured 1 day postinfection (dpi). Even more significant increases of free and conjugated SA and GA were detected 11 dpi when systemic symptoms appeared. In inoculated but not in upper noninoculated leaves of resistant transgenic cv. Igor, significant increase of SA conjugates occurred, but not before 11 dpi. The increase of SA and GA in susceptible cv. Igor could contribute to the general elevated levels of phenolic compounds as a response to stress caused by virus infection. It appears that basal levels of SA and GA do not correlate with resistance to PVY^NTN in potato plants.     

褪黑素诱导小豆抗锈病机理的初步研究

为明确外源褪黑素诱导小豆抗锈性的作用及机理,以感病小豆品种‘宝清红’为材料,采用叶面喷施不同浓度褪黑素激发处理小豆真叶,而后对真叶挑战接种锈菌夏孢子,结果表明,低浓度(11.61 mg/L)褪黑素可显著提升小豆对锈病的抗性。夏孢子萌发试验表明,褪黑素对夏孢子萌发及芽管生长无显著抑制作用,表明褪黑素无抑菌活性。进一步的基因表达分析发现,与对照相比,褪黑素激发诱导了水杨酸(SA)通路关键基因NPR1于接种后24 h显著上调表达,且病程相关蛋白PR1、几丁质酶(CHI)、β-1,3-葡聚糖酶(GLU)及PR5均于接种后24～120 h被显著诱导表达,说明褪黑素可能通过诱导NPR1表达,进而激活下游PR蛋白的高水平应答,使感锈病小豆品种获得对锈病的抗性。     

植物对虫害的系统获得性抗性及抗虫与抗病信号途径间的相互作用

受病原体感染后,植物会获得一种持久广泛的抗性,称为系统获得性抗性,受到昆虫侵害时也会获得类似的系统获得性抗性.植物系统抗虫与抗病信号分子不同,前者是茉莉酸(JA)、甲基茉莉酸(Me-JA)或系统素,而后者是水杨酸(SA).SA介导的系统抗病信号途径与JA等介导的系统抗虫信号途径并非完全独立,而是存在所谓的"交叉对话",但"交叉对话"结果是相互促进还是抑制仍不清楚.植物系统抗性信号及其互作研究无疑会完善植物保护策略.     

烟草品种对烟草花叶病毒病和黄瓜花叶病毒病的抗性鉴定

由烟草普通花叶病毒(TMV)和烟草黄瓜花叶病毒(CMV)引致的烟草病毒病是世界烟草主产区普遍发生且危害严重的侵染性病害,每年给烟叶生产造成了重大的经济损失。本文采用温室苗期接种鉴定的方法,对16份烟草种质进行了TMV和CMV的抗病性鉴定。结果表明:不同的烟草品种对TMV和CMV的抗病性存在较大差异。在供试种质中,对TMV表现免疫的有‘牛耳烟’、‘8301’、‘台烟7号’、‘三生-NN’共4份材料;表现抗病的有‘吉烟5号’、‘双抗70’、‘大护脖香’、‘秦烟95’共4份材料;表现中抗的有‘铁把子’、‘中烟15’、‘秦烟98’、‘中烟98’共4份材料;表现中感的有‘NC89’、‘翠碧1号’、‘云烟97’共3份材料;表现感病的只有‘秦烟97’。对CMV表现中抗的材料有1份,是‘铁把子’;表现中感的有‘秦烟95’、‘三生-NN’、‘8301’、‘牛耳烟’、‘翠碧1号’共5份材料;表现感病的有‘秦烟98’、‘云烟97’、‘中烟98’、‘NC89’、‘大护脖香’、‘双抗70’、‘秦烟97’、‘中烟15’、‘台烟7号’、‘吉烟5号’共10份材料。研究发现,‘铁把子’是兼抗这两种病毒病的材料。本研究明确了我国16个烟草品种资源的抗病性水平,为抗耐病品种的利用与品种合理布局提供科学依据,同时为烟草抗病毒病育种的亲本选择提供抗源信息。     

SA诱导拟南芥对灰霉病的抗性与木质素含量的关系

对拟南芥植株喷施水杨酸后,接种灰霉病菌(Botrytis cinerea),观察植物对病原物反应的变化。结果表明:喷施水杨酸可以降低拟南芥灰霉病的发生率。在平板培养中,水杨酸对灰霉菌分生孢子的萌发及菌丝的生长均无明显抑制作用,因此认为水杨酸处理后发病率的下降是由于水杨酸处理提高了植物的抗病性,且诱导抗性的持久期在10 d以上。观察中还发现在拟南芥叶片上喷施SA或接种灰霉菌都会使叶片PAL和POD活性上升,进而引起木质素的积累,两者在积累量上和时间程度上具较好的一致性,说明水杨酸诱导拟南芥抗灰霉病的过程中,通过PAL和POD活性的提高进而引起木质素含量的增加,可能是诱导拟南芥产生抗性的机制之一。     

水杨酸和乙烯在烟草抗黑胫病中的作用

5mmol/L水杨酸或1g/L乙烯外源处理可诱导烟草对黑胫病的抗性，推迟植株死亡。不能积累水杨酸的转nahG基因植株和不表现乙烯应答反应的转etr1-1基因植株对黑胫病的抗性显著弱于野生型植株。组成性积累高水平水杨酸的转entC和pmsB基因植株对黑胫病的抗性明显强于野生型植株。这些结果说明水杨酸和乙烯增强烟草对黑胫病的抗性，减缓黑胫病的扩展。0．5mmol/L KCN连续浇灌植株4天或浸溃叶片2，4h均不能恢复转nahG基因植株丧失的对黑胫病的抗病性。此结果进一步支持关于KCN处理不能恢复转nahG基因植株丧失的对真菌病害抗病性的假说。     

Investigating resistance to Barley mild mosaic virus

There are claims that at least 11 genes confer resistance in barley ( Hordeum vulgaris ) to one or more components of the soilborne barley mosaic virus complex but, apart from the immunity conferred by the widely used gene rym4 , little is known about their mode of action. This study used mechanical (sap) and plasmodiophorid vector-inoculation techniques combined with ELISA, RT-PCR, symptom development and virus transmission to investigate the response of different genotypes to Barley mild mosaic virus (BaMMV). Barley genotypes were grown at 20 and 12°C to test for temperature sensitivity. Plants with the genes rym3 or rym6 were fully susceptible to the virus, whereas those with genes rym1 , Rym2 , rym5 or rym11 appeared to be immune, as BaMMV was never detected in any tissue type nor was the virus transmitted from them to susceptible genotypes. The remaining genotypes could all be infected to some extent by BaMMV using one or both inoculation methods, and virus could be transmitted from their roots by the plasmodiophorid vector Polymyxa graminis . Plants with the rym7 gene had delayed symptoms compared to susceptible controls at 12°C. Plants with the rym8 gene could be infected by both inoculation methods, but there was no virus in the leaves at 12°C. Plants with the rym9 gene could be infected only by vector inoculation, and virus remained localized in the roots. Plants with the rym10 gene appeared susceptible by mechanical inoculation at both temperatures, but after vector inoculation virus moved to leaves only at 20°C. This suggests the operation of translocation resistance in plants with the rym8 , rym9 or rym10 genes, which is temperature-sensitive in rym8 and rym10 and perhaps tissue-specific in rym9 . No resistance to P. graminis was observed in any of the genotypes.

水稻褐飞虱抗性基因的鉴定及利用现状

褐飞虱是为害水稻生产的重要害虫,利用寄主抗性培育抗褐飞虱品种被认为是防治其为害的有效途径.自20世纪70年代起,各国相继开展了水稻褐飞虱抗性基因的发掘工作,截至2007年12月,经国际注册确认和报道的水稻抗褐飞虱基因共22个,其中12个为显性基因(Bph),10个为隐性基因(bph),已被定位的达18个,此外还鉴定了一些重要的抗性QTLs.文中还讨论了综合防治褐飞虱策略等合理利用抗性基因的问题.
