Effect of Carbon, Nitrogen, and C:N Ratio on Growth, Sporulation, and Biocontrol Efficacy of Talaromyces flavus

ABSTRACT Engelkes, C. A., Nuclo, R. L., and Fravel, D. R. 1997. Effect of carbon, nitrogen, and C:N ratio on growth, sporulation, and biocontrol efficacy of Talaromyces flavus. Phytopathology 87:500-505.Five-day biomass production by the biocontrol fungus Talaromyces flavus was measured in a liquid basal medium, pH 5.5, containing each of 37 carbon (C) sources with a single nitrogen (N) source, and each of 42 N sources with a single C source. In general, production of biomass was greatest on complex sugars such as polysaccharides (32 g/liter of medium) and beta-glucosides (2.4 g/liter of medium), and was least on monosaccharides (1.3 g/liter of medium). Ascospore production at 6 weeks on solid basal medium with the same amount of these same 37 degrees C sources was greatest on oligosaccharides (2.9 x 10(8) spores per 5.5-cm-diameter petri dish), and least on polysaccharides and monosaccharides (1.6 and 1.4 x 10(8) spores per 5.5-cm-diameter petri dish, respectively). For C sources, there was no correlation between production of ascospores and hyphal dry weight. The various N sources yielded 0 to 10(9) ascospores per 5.5-cm-diameter petri dish and 10(-4) to 10(-5) g of hyphal dry weight per milliliter. In general, N sources that resulted in the greatest number of ascospores also yielded the greatest hyphal dry weights. For the two C and two N sources tested, the number of ascospores increased as the ratio of C to N increased from 5:1 to 30:1. This effect was most obvious as the C:N ratio increased from 5:1 to 15:1. At low C:N ratios (<15:1), treatments with hypoxanthine as a N source resulted in significantly greater production of biomass than treatments with ammonium tartrate; no difference was observed at C:N ratios >/=15:1. Incidence of Verticillium wilt was 50% lower for eggplants drenched with ascospores grown on potato dextrose agar (PDA) compared with eggplants either nondrenched or drenched with ascospores grown on media with hypoxanthine plus lactose or maltose. Thus, C and N sources that slightly increased ascospore production of T. flavus reduced efficacy of biocontrol of Verticillium wilt compared with ascospores produced on PDA.     

Persistence and residual activity of an organophosphate, pirimiphos-methyl, and three IGRs, hexaflumuron, teflubenzuron and pyriproxyfen, against the cowpea weevil, Callosobruchus maculatus (Coleoptera: Bruchidae)

Three insect growth regulators (IGR), the chitin synthesis inhibitors (CSI) teflubenzuron and hexaflumuron and the juvenile hormone mimic (JHM) pyriproxyfen, as well as the organophosphate (OP) pirimiphos-methyl, were evaluated for their activity against the cowpea weevil, Callosobruchus maculatus (F), in cowpea seeds stored for up to 8 months post-treatment. The initial activity data showed that, based on LC50 level, teflubenzuron had strong ovicidal activity (LC50 = 0.056 mg kg(-1)) followed by pirimiphos-methyl (1.82 mg kg(-1)) and pyriproxyfen (91.9 mg kg(-1)). The residual activity data showed that none of the IGRs tested had strong activity when applied at 200 mg kg(-1) in reducing the oviposition rates of C maculatus at various storage intervals up to 8 months post-treatment. However, teflubenzuron reduced adult emergence (F1 progeny), achieving control ranging from 96.2% at 1 month to 94.3% at 8 months. Hexaflumuron showed a similar trend in its residual activity, ranging between 93.8% control at 1 month to 88.2% control at 8 months post-treatment. However, pyriproxyfen was more active than the CSIs tested and caused complete suppression (100% control) of adult emergence at all storage intervals. Unlike the IGRs tested, pirimiphos-methyl applied at 25 mg kg(-1) was more effective in reducing oviposition rates of C maculatus up to 8 months post-treatment. A strong reduction of adult emergence was also observed at various bimonthly intervals (98.6% control at 1 month to 91.6% control at 8 months post-treatment). The persistence of hexaflumuron and pirimiphos-methyl in cowpea seeds was also studied over a period of 8 months. The loss of hexaflumuron residue in treated cowpeas (200 mg kg(-1)) was very slow during the first month post-treatment (4.43%). At the end of 8 months, the residue level had declined significantly to 46.4% of the initial applied rate. The loss of pirimiphos-methyl residue in treated cowpeas (25 mg kg(-1)) was relatively high during the first month post-treatment (36.7%) and increased to 81.6% after 8 months.     

Allelopathic effects of Hemistepta lyrata on the germination and growth of wheat, sorghum, cucumber, rape, and radish seeds

The allelopathic effects of a water extract from Hemistepta lyrata were tested on the seeds of selected crops in Petri dishes. The results showed that the extract strongly inhibited the germination and seedling growth of wheat ( Triticum aestivum ), rape ( Brassica campestris ), and radish ( Raphanus sativus ), but only slightly inhibited those of sorghum ( Sorghum vulgare ) and cucumber ( Cucumis sativus ). The extract stimulated the growth of roots and hypocotyls at lower concentrations, while it inhibited their growth at higher concentrations. The malondialdehyde (MDA) content of cucumber and radish increased after treatment with the extract. These results indicated that the MDA concentration in plants is one important aspect of the allelopathic effects of H. lyrata .     

Comparison of trifluralin,oryzalin, pronamide,propham, and colchicine treatments on microtubules

The mode of action of trifluralin (α,α,α-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-p-toluidine), oryzalin (3,5-dinitro-N⁴,N⁴-dipropylsulfanilamide), pronamide(N-(1,1-dimethylpropynyl) 3,5-dichlorobenzamide), and propham (isopropyl carbanilate) on purified microtubules from pig brains and on the ultrastructure of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. “Mediterranean,” C. I. 5303) and corn (Zea mays L. “yellow dent, U. S. 13”) roots was compared with that known for colchicine. Colchicine disrupts the in vivo cortical and spindle microtubules of root cells. Like colchicine, the herbicides trifluralin, oryzalin, and pronamide caused the loss of both cortical and spindle microtubules of root cells. The rate of microtubule disappearance depended on the type of herbicide and length of exposure of roots to the herbicide. Unlike colchicine, cortical microtubules were present in propham-treated roots but they were disoriented within the cell.In vitro polymerization studies with pig brain microtubules (Sus scrofa) showed that the herbicides failed to inhibit the assembly of purified microtubular protein into microtubules and that radioactively labeled herbicides did not bind to the microtubular protein. Colchicine inhibited the polymerization of microtubular protein and readily bound to the microtubular subunits. These results indicate that the mode of action of the herbicides is not similar to that of colchicine and that the loss of microtubules from root tip cells treated with trifluralin, oryzalin, and pronamide may be caused by these herbicides interfering with synthesis of microtubular protein or metabolism of endoplasmic reticulum membranes involved in microtubule assembly. The mode of action of propham appears to be on the microtubular organizing centers rather than on microtubules per se.

Residues of polychlorinated biphenyls, DDT, and DDT metabolites in Pennsylvania streams, community water supplies, and reservoirs, 1974--76.

Pennsylvania streams, community water supplies, and open water reservoirs were analyzed for PCB mixtures, DDT, and DDT metabolites. Streams were sampled in 1974 and again in 1975. Only 4 of 19 stream locations were contaminated. Maximum concentrations in community supplies of Aroclor 1242 (2 locations), Aroclor 1254 (3 locations), and sigmaDDT (2 locations) were 350, 260, and 620 ng/kg, respectively. Of the 110 community water supplies sampled in 1975 and 1976, only 7 contained residues. Maximum concentrations in community supplies of Aroclor 1242 (4 locations) and sigmaDDT (2 locations) were 460 ng/kg and 75 ng/kg, respectively. The seventh contained 0.7 ng/kg of dieldrin. None of the three open water reservoirs contained detectable residues of the compounds of interest. Essentially no correlation was found between PCB and DDT analogs in streams and those in fish from streams which had been samples at similar locations in a related study in 1976.

Movement and persistence of imazaquin, oxyfluorfen, flurochloridone and terbacil in soil

The movement and persistence of imazaquin, oxyfluorfen, flurochloridone and terbacil residues were studied using a bioassay based on the shoot growth of Raphanus sativus L. var, radicula DC (radish) in a sandy loam soil under field conditions in 1992 and 1993. Imazaquin (0.3 kg a.i. ha^-1) was more mobile in the soil than the other three compounds. In 1992, under heavy rainfall conditions, the herbicide was distributed down to 60 cm in amounts of about 0.01 mg kg^-1. Conversely, in the dry year of 1993, the maximum depth of penetration was 20 cm and persistence in the surface soil layer (0-5 cm) was greater. After the first month in 1992, residues of terbacil were distributed in the 0-20 cm layer, and after 2, 3 and 5 months the herbicide had penetrated to a depth of 40 cm. In 1993, terbacil residues were distributed in the 0-10 cm layer only. In both years, residues of flurochloridone (1.0 kg a.i. ha^-1) were located mainly in the 0-5 cm layer, but there was some penetration to 10 cm. Oxy-fluorfen (1.2 kg a.i, ha^-1) showed least mobility in the soil profile. It was retained in the 0-5 cm layer throughout the experimental period in both. years.     

The degradation of quintozene,pentachlorobenzene, hexachlorobenzene and pentachloroaniline in soil

The disappearance of quintozene (I) and its technical impurities and metabolites pentachlorobenzene (III), hexachlorobenzene (IV) and pentachloroaniline (V) from soil, was studied in laboratory experiments under controlled conditions during a period of about 600 days. The very high persistence found, was confirmed by the analysis of 22 samples collected from fields used for potato growing and treated regularly during the foregoing 11 years with commercial formulations of quintozene. In the laboratory experiments, III, V and methylthiopentachlorobenzene (VI) were found to be degradation products from the quintozene.     

Effects of fungicides JS399-19, azoxystrobin, tebuconazloe, and carbendazim on the physiological and biochemical indices and grain yield of winter wheat

The impact of four modern fungicides JS399-19 (2-cyano-3-amino-3-phenylancryic acetate) (novel fungicide), azoxystrobin (a strobilurin), tebuconazole (a triazole) and carbendazim (a benzimidazole), applied as foliar spray at the recommended field rate, on the physiology and biochemistry of the senescence process and grain yield was studied in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. ‘Nannong No. 9918’) under natural environmental conditions. Fungicide treatments to wheat plants at growth stage [ZGS] 57 (3/4 of head emerged) significantly increased the chlorophyll (CHL) and soluble protein (SP) content and decreased the malondialdehyde (MDA) content and electrolyte leakage. Additionally, activities of the antioxidative enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) in flag leaves of the fungicide-treated plants were also higher than that in untreated plants. These coincided with elevated levels of H₂O₂ and reduced level of in the fungicide-treated plants. The results suggested that the fungicide-induced delay of senescence was due to an enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity protecting the plants from harmful active oxygen species (AOS). Because all fungicides can induce the delay of wheat senescence, fungicide-treated wheat shown higher grain yield than untreated wheat. Of all tested fungicides, JS399-19, azoxystrobin and tebuconazole showed similar effects on delaying senescence of wheat and enhancing the grain yield of wheat, but JS399-19 was more efficient in general.     

Population dynamics of Rhizoctonia,Oculimacula, and Microdochium species in soil,roots, and stems of English wheat crops

This study aimed to elucidate the population dynamics of Rhizoctonia, Oculimacula, and Microdochium species, causing the stem base disease complex of sharp eyespot, eyespot, and brown foot rot in cereals. Pathogen DNA in soil, roots, and stem fractions, and disease expression were quantified in 102 English wheat fields in two seasons. Weather data for each site was collected to determine patterns that correlate with assessed diseases. Oculimacula spp. (66%) and R. solani AG 2-1 (63%) were most frequently detected in soil, followed by R. cerealis (54%) and Microdochium spp. (33%). Oculimacula spp. (89%) and R. cerealis (56%) predominated on roots and soil but were not associated with root rot symptoms, suggesting that these species used soil and roots for survival and as inoculum source. M. nivale was more frequently detected than M. majus on stems up to GS 21–30 and co-occurred on plant samples with O. acuformis. O. yallundae had higher DNA concentration than O. acuformis at the lower 5 cm basal region at GS 37–45. R. cerealis predominated in the upper 15 cm above the base beyond stem extension. Brown foot rot by Microdochium spp. was favoured by cool and wet autumns/winters and dominated in English wheat. Eyespot and sharp eyespot disease index by Oculimacula spp. and R. cerealis, respectively, correlated with wet/humid springs and summers. Results suggested that stem base pathogens generally coexisted; however, their abundance in time and space was influenced by favourable weather patterns and host development, with niche differentiation after stem extension.

采用乙腈提取、分散SPE净化的前处理方法以及气相色谱电子捕获检测器,测定了苹果、柑橘和香蕉中腐霉利、抑霉唑、异菌脲和咪鲜胺4种防腐保鲜剂的残留量,利用基质匹配标准校正方法补偿基质效应。结果表明,腐霉利、抑霉唑和咪鲜胺在3个添加水平(0.02、0.05和0.10 mg/kg)下的回收率为85.1% ~108.4%,相对标准偏差为0.5% ~7.9%;异菌脲在3个添加水 平(0.05、0.10 和0.20 mg/kg)下的回收率为82.9% ~98.8%,相对标准偏差为3.6% ~ 8.6%。方法的检出限(LOD)在0.001 ~0.008 mg/kg之间,定量限(LOQ)在0.003 ~0.03 mg/kg之间。     

DDT and BHC residues in some body tissues of goats, buffalo, and chickens, Lucknow, India

Muscle, liver, brain, and abdominal body fat samples of goats, buffalo, and chickens, all common meat sources in India, were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) for residues of DDT and benzene hexachloride (BHC). A few samples of goat and buffalo bone marrow were also included. Relatively high residue levels were found in body fat and bone marrow compared with other tissues. DDT and BHC residue levels were highest in chicken body fat, averaging 4.157 ppm sigma DDT and 3.879 ppm BHC. DDT content was much higher in goat and buffalo bone marrow than in the corresponding body fat. DDT levels in brain samples were highest (0.138 ppm) in buffalo. p,p'-TDE levels were higher than p,p'-DDE levels in buffalo; overall DDT levels were lowest in goats. BHC residues were generally low in buffalo; alpha-BHC accounted for most BHC residues in brain tissues. Greater accumulations of DDT and BHC were found in leg muscles than in breast muscles of chickens.     

Reductive metabolism of heptachlor,parathion, 4,4′-dichlorobenzophenone,and carbophenothion by rat liver systems

An attempt was made to survey systems which carry out reduction of four pesticidal chemicals, heptachlor, parathion, 4,4-dichlorobenzophenone, and carbophenothion sulfoxide, in rat liver microsomes and in the supernatant in vitro. On the basis of the stimulatory effects of nicotinamide cofactors (NADPH and NADH), a flavin cofactor (FAD), localization of the systems, and their sensitivities to heat-inactivation treatment, four different reductive systems were recognized. They are (a) the mixed-function oxidase-coupled reductive systems, (b) an independent NADH-stimulated (instead of NADPH as above) microsomal system for parathion reduction, (c) FAD-stimulated system for reduction of carbophenothion sulfoxide and parathion, present specifically in the supernatant, and (d) a heat stable, nonenzymatic reduction system in the microsomes operated by flavoproteins and a flavin cofactor.     

Effects of temperature,inoculum concentration,leaf age,and continuous and interrupted wetness on infection of olive plants by Spilocaea oleagina

Experiments were conducted on olive plants in controlled environments to determine the effect of conidial concentration, leaf age, temperature, continuous and interrupted leaf wetness periods, and relative humidity (RH) during the drier periods that interrupted wet periods, on olive leaf spot (OLS) severity. As inoculum concentration increased from 1·0 × 10² to 2·5 × 10⁵ conidia mL^?1, the severity of OLS increased at all five temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25°C). A simple polynomial model satisfactorily described the relationship between the inoculum concentration at the upper asymptote (maximum number of lesions) and temperature. The results showed that for the three leaf age groups tested (2–4, 6–8 and 10–12 weeks old) OLS severity decreased significantly (P < 0·001) with increasing leaf age at the time of inoculation. Overall, temperature also affected (P < 0·001) OLS severity, with the lesion numbers increasing gradually from 5°C to a maximum at 15°C, and then declining to a minimum at 25°C. When nine leaf wetness periods (0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 96 h) were tested at the same temperatures, the numbers of lesions increased with increasing leaf wetness period at all temperatures tested. The minimum leaf wetness periods for infection at 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25°C were 18, 12, 12, 12 and 24 h, respectively. The wet periods during early infection processes were interrupted with drying periods (0, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 h) at two levels of RH (70 and 100%). The length of drying period had a significant (P < 0·001) effect on disease severity, the effect depending on the RH during the interruption. High RH (100%) resulted in greater disease severity than low RH (70%). A polynomial equation with linear and quadratic terms of temperature, wetness and leaf age was developed to describe the effects of temperature, wetness and leaf age on OLS infection, which could be incorporated as a forecasting component of an integrated system for the control of OLS.     

Carbon Loss and Germinability, Viability, and Virulence of Chlamydospores of Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli After Exposure to Soil at Different pH Levels, Temperatures, and Matric Potentials

ABSTRACT (14)C-labeled chlamydospores of Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli were exposed to soil at 5, 15, 25, or 30 degrees C at pH 5 or 8 and water potential of -1 kPa or to soil at 0, -1, or -10 kPa at 25 degrees C at pH 6.9. Total carbon loss was greatest at 25 or 30 degrees C at pH 8 and -1 kPa. (14)CO(2) from respiration of chlamydospores and from soil microbes utilizing chlamydospore exudates accounted for the largest share of total carbon loss under all conditions. (14)(CO)(2) from soil microbial metabolism of (14)CO(2) exudates of chlamydospores was greatest in soil at 15, 25, and 30 degrees C, pH 8, and at either -1 or -10 kPa. Chlamydospore germinability in the absence of a C source (nutrient independence), viability in potato-dextrose broth, and virulence to kidney bean declined rapidly after exposure to soil at high temperatures (25 and 30 degrees C), pH 8, and the higher matric potentials (0 to-1 kPa). By contrast, germinability remained high (>50%), as did virulence, in soil at 5 degrees C and -10 kPa even after 70 days of incubation. Carbon loss was inversely correlated with germinability, viability, and virulence after exposure to soil at different pH levels, temperatures, and matric potentials.     

Production, Survival, and Evaluation of Solid-Substrate Inocula of Penicillium oxalicum, a Biocontrol Agent Against Fusarium Wilt of Tomato

ABSTRACT Production of conidia of Penicillium oxalicum (ATCC number pending), a biocontrol agent of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, was tested in liquid and solid fermentation. P. oxalicum produced 250-fold more conidia in solid than in liquid fermentation at 30 days after inoculation of substrate. Solid fermentation was carried out in plastic bags (600 cm(3)) especially designed for solid fermentation (VALMIC) containing 50 g of peat/vermiculite (PV) (1:1, wt/wt) with 40% moisture, sealed, sterilized, and then inoculated with 1 ml of a conidial suspension of P. oxalicum (10(5) conidia g(-1) dry substrate), sealed again, and incubated in darkness at 20 to 25 degrees C for 30 days. Addition of amendments to PV in a proportion of 0.5 (wt/wt) significantly increased conidial production of P. oxalicum. The best production was obtained on PV plus meal of cereal grains (barley) or leguminous seeds (lentil) (100-fold higher). Conidial production obtained after 5 days of inoculation was similar to that obtained at 30 days. However, viability of conidia produced in PV plus lentil meal was 35% higher than that of conidia produced in PV plus barley meal. Changes in proportions (1:1:0.5, wt/wt/wt; 1:1:1, wt/wt/wt; 1:0.5:0.5, wt/wt/wt; 1:1:0.5, vol/vol/vol) of components of the substrate (peat/vermiculite/lentil meal) did not enhance production or viability of conidia. Optimal initial moisture in the substrate was 30 to 40%. At lower moistures, significant reductions of production of conidia were observed, particularly at 10%. There was a general decline in the number of conidia in bags with time of storage at -80, -20, 4, and 25 degrees C, or at room temperature (range from 30 to 15 degrees C), with the highest decline occurring from 60 to 180 days. Conidial viability also was reduced with time, except for conidia stored at -20 degrees C. Fresh conidia produced in solid fermentation system or those conidia stored at -20 degrees C for 180 days reduced Fusarium wilt of tomato by 49 and 61%, respectively.     

Interaction of perfluidone with mitochondrial,thylakoid, and liposome membranes

Perfluidone (1,1,1-trifluoro-N-[2-methyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)phenyl]methanesulfonamide) was shown to interfere with phosphorylation and electron transport in isolated mung bean (Phaseolus aureus Roxb.) mitochondria. At low molar concentrations (<100 μM), perfluidone acted as an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation as evidenced by stimulation of state 4 respiration, induction of ATPase activity, and circumvention of oligomycin-inhibited state 3 respiration. At higher molar concentrations (>100 μM), perfluidone inhibited electron transport by acting on complexes I and II, and on the alternate (cyanide-insensitive) oxidase. In isolated spinach thylakoids (Spinacia oleracea L.), perfluidone also acted as an uncoupler, at low concentrations, as evidenced by stimulation of photoinduced electron transport with water as the reductant and methyl viologen and ferricyanide as oxidants, and from reduced dichlorophenolindophenol to methyl viologen. In addition, perfluidone inhibited the rate and magnitude of valinomycin-induced mitochondrial swelling in isotonic potassium chloride and potassium thiocyanate, and with thylakoids suspended in potassium thiocyanate at concentrations that inhibited ATP generation (<100 μM). Passive swelling in mitochondria was induced at higher concentrations. The permeability of lecithin liposomes to protons was also increased by perfluidone in a manner characteristic of uncouplers. The results obtained suggested that the partitioning of perfluidone perturbs the inner mitochondrial and thylakoid membranes. The perturbations increase the permeability of the membranes to protons and cations (at least potassium) and decrease membrane “fluidity.” As a consequence of the perturbations, the ATP-generating pathway in both mitochondria and chloroplasts is uncoupled and the structural organization of the electron transport components in mitochondria is disrupted, resulting in multisite inhibition of respiration. No evidence was obtained for a direct interaction between perfluidone and redox components of the electron transport pathways.     

啶酰菌胺在南瓜、芦笋、山楂、芒果和木瓜上的膳食摄入风险评估

为明确啶酰菌胺在南瓜、芦笋、山楂、芒果和木瓜上使用可能产生的膳食摄入风险,通过进行规范田间残留试验,检测了南瓜、芦笋、山楂、芒果和木瓜中啶酰菌胺的最终残留量,结合国内和国际两种膳食消费量数据,评估了啶酰菌胺的长期膳食摄入风险,并就两种方法的评估结果进行了比较分析。样品采用QuEChERS方法前处理,液相色谱-串联质谱 (LC-MS/MS) 定量分析。结果表明:南瓜在0.01、0.1和3 mg/kg,芦笋在0.01、0.1和20 mg/kg,山楂在0.01、0.1和60 mg/kg,芒果在0.01、0.1和4 mg/kg,木瓜在0.01、0.1和10 mg/kg添加水平下,啶酰菌胺在空白样品中的平均回收率为79%~101%,相对标准偏差为2%~14%。采用 “中国居民营养与健康状况调查报告” 的膳食消费数据,计算得啶酰菌胺针对普通人群的国家估算每日摄入量 (NEDI) 为0.707 5 mg/(kg bw),风险商 (RQ) 为28.1%;采用世界卫生组织 (WHO) 提供的每种农产品的单独膳食量进行计算,啶酰菌胺的每日摄入量为0.128 2 mg/(kg bw),风险商 (RQ) 为5.1%。两种方法的评估结果均表明啶酰菌胺对一般人群的健康不会产生不可接受的风险,然而,采用不同膳食消费数据进行计算会导致风险评估结果存在较大差异,其原因主要是由于中国所采用的膳食消费数据是作物分类基础上的数据,而不是具体某种农产品的单独消费量,因而易导致中国的膳食摄入风险评估结果过于保守。因此建议相关部门进一步完善居民的营养与健康状况调查监测工作,提供具体到每一种农产品的膳食消费数据,以便于科学评价农药对人体健康的风险。
