Relationship between leaf injury and colonization of cabbage by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Mechanical and insect feeding injuries of cabbage provided sites for ingress by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. In field studies, injuries sustained by hitting cabbage heads with a blunt object penetrated several leaf layers and were readily infected by S. sclerotiorum. Incidence of Sclerotinia rot ranged from 15 to 36% infected plants in the hitting treatment. Disease incidence was low (0–5%) when wounds were created by allowing lepidopterous larvae (the imported cabbageworm, Pieris rapae L., the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L., and the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni Hubner) to feed on cabbage leaves. The incidence of colonization of lepidopterous larvae feeding sites by S. sclerotiorum was greater in greenhouse studies (5–60% infected feeding sites) than in field studies. In greenhouse studies, disease incidence was significantly greater in plants receiving hitting injuries than tearing injuries. There was little evidence of inoculation day or injury day effects. Colonization frequency of tissue injured mechanically was similar whether wounds were inoculated immediately or 4 days later. Plants that were incubated in a dry environment developed fewer infections than plants held in a moist environment. Inoculated plants that were not injured did not develop disease.

Variation in yield loss of oilseed rape due to grazing by mute swans Cygnus olor

Yield loss due to grazing by mute swans was measured on nine fields of autumn-sown oilseed rape located in five regions of England. Using a paired-plot design, a significant reduction in yield (total dry weight of seed) was observed on three of the fields: 18%, 23% and 24%, respectively. On the first of these fields yield reduction was not simply due to fewer seeds being produced, as the weight of individual seeds was also significantly lower on grazed plots, with a reduction in thousand seed weight of 13%. Between fields (n=9), yield loss was positively correlated with the number of swans per ha, and the number of days of swan grazing per ha. Significant levels of yield loss occurred only on fields grazed by >5 swans per ha. The density of swans grazing per ha can thus be used to predict potentially significant yield loss and provides an indicator of the level of swan grazing activity at which growers should consider deploying measures to reduce grazing.     

氮素营养对油菜成熟期生物产量的调控

通过不同Ｎ肥处理的田间试验,研究Ｎ素营养对油菜成熟期地上部各部位生物产量的调节作用。结果表明,主茎的生物产量随施Ｎ量的增加而明显增加;分枝、果序和果壳重以及籽粒产量随施Ｎ量的增加先增后减。在生物产量中,果壳重与籽粒产量的关系最为密切,生产上保证前期主茎和要枝有一定生长量的基础上,通过合理施Ｎ以促进后期角果的生长,提高果壳的重量可提高籽粒产量。

Control of Helminthosporium leaf blight of spring wheat using seed treatments and single foliar spray in Indo-Gangetic Plains of Nepal

Four fungicides for seed treatments and one as foliar spray were tested in replicated field experiments in a strip plot design to determine the effect of fungicides on Helminthosporium leaf blight (caused by Cochliobolus sativus and Pyrenophora tritici-repentis) severity and grain yield of wheat. Wheat seed cv. RR 21 was treated with fungicides, carbendazim (Areestin), triadimenol (Baytan), tebuconazole (Raxil), and carboxin + thiram (Vitavax 200B). Single foliar application of propiconazole (Tilt) was sprayed at flowering stage. Controls were included for both factors and treatments were replicated four times. Triadimenol and carboxin + thiram increased seed germination in both years. Triadimenol, tebuconazole, and carboxin + thiram reduced the number of infected seedlings and seedling root rot severity in both years. Number of tillers was higher in carboxin + thiram treated plots compared to other seed treatments. Compared to the control, carboxin + thiram increased grain yield by 9% and 8% in 2004 and 2005, respectively, and triadimenol by 6% in both years. The foliar spray of propiconazole significantly reduced Helminthosporium leaf blight severity and increased thousand-kernel weights. Propiconazole spray increased grain yield by 15% and 14% in 2004 and 2005, respectively. Therefore, seed treatment either with triadimenol or carboxin + thiram in combination with single post-flowering foliar spray of fungicides should minimize grain yield loss due to wheat foliar blight in South Asia. The findings of this study could be useful in developing strategies to manage Helminthosporium leaf blight in South Asia and other warm wheat growing regions of the world.     

江苏省油菜菌核病菌对多菌灵的敏感性

为监测目前油菜菌核病菌对多菌灵抗性现状，对从江苏省各地采集的油菜菌核病病原菌菌株以及海安、苏州和高淳三地的油菜菌核病病原菌田间群体菌株进行了多菌灵的敏感性测定。结果表明，江苏省油菜菌核病菌对多菌灵的抗药性已经产生，不同地区菌株对多菌灵的抗性比率不同。在苏州的田间菌株群体中抗性菌株的比率达到28.12%，而在高淳等地的菌株中没有检测到抗性菌株的存在。抗性菌株都表现为高抗，其EC50 >100µg／ml。对抗性菌株的β-微管蛋白基因进行PCR扩增和酶切的结果表明，所有抗性菌株的β-微管蛋白基因的198位都发生突变，从而导致油菜菌核病菌对多菌灵抗性的产生。从江苏省范围来看，继续使用多菌灵防治油菜菌核病菌可能会导致抗性频率上升、抗性范围扩大。     

Occurrence of resistant strains of Botrytis cinerea to anilinopyrimidine fungicides in table grapes in Chile

Effort to control gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea failed in a table grapevine (Vitis vinifera) vineyard near Santiago, Chile where cyprodinil (Vangard 50 WP), a new fungicide of the anilinopyrimidine group, had been applied alone up to four times per year during two growing seasons. A relatively high frequency (38.5%) of resistant isolates of B. cinerea (EC₅₀ for mycelial growth inhibition varied from 2.9 to 4.84 μg ml⁻¹) may explain the partial loss of field control efficacy obtained. Resistance was correlated with a complete loss of in vivo sensitivity to cyprodinil. Resistant isolates of B. cinerea showed cross resistance to the anilinopyrimidines fungicides mepanipyrim and pyrimethanil. Cyprodinil partially impaired conidia germination and differentially affected conidial germination of resistant and sensitive isolates. Significant differences (p<0.05) in growth rate, sclerotia production and osmotic sensitivity were found among isolates of B. cinerea, but no correlation could be drawn between these biological differences and resistance or sensitivity. This indicates a disruptive selection characteristic of monogenic resistance. Thus, strategies were implemented to avoid the further development and spread of resistance in B. cinerea to the anilinopyrimidine fungicides. To our knowledge this constitutes the first mention of resistance in B. cinerea populations to anilinopyrimidine fungicides in South America.     

Sensitivity of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum to fludioxonil: In vitro determination of baseline sensitivity and resistance risk

This work determined the sensitivity of field populations of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary before exposure to the fungicide fludioxonil (= baseline sensitivity) and assessed the risk of fludioxonil resistance. The mean EC₅₀ (Effective Concentration) and Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for fludioxonil based on inhibition of mycelial growth of 120 wild-type isolates were 0.015 ± 0.005 μg/ml and <0.05 μg/ml, respectively. Positive cross-resistance was not detected between fludioxonil and benzimidazole fungicides but was detected between fludioxonil and dicarboximide fungicides which are considered as high resistance risk fungicides by FRAC, even though these fungicides have different molecular structures. By growing wild-type isolates on potato dextrose agar (PDA) containing sublethal concentrations of the fungicide, we obtained four fludioxonil-resistant mutants with resistance factors (EC₅₀ resistant/EC₅₀ sensitive phenotypes) >2000. The laboratory fludioxonil mutants were less fitter than their parental isolates in terms of mycelial radial growth, pathogenicity and sclerotial production. Moreover, on PDA amended with NaCl, the laboratory fludioxonil mutants grew more slowly than their fludioxonil-sensitive parents, especially at lower concentrations of NaCl. According to the fitness of mutants and the cross-resistance between fludioxonil and dicarboximide fungicides, phenylpyrroles can be considered to pose a moderate resistance risk. In a field trial, fludioxonil provided greater control (over 90% disease control) of S. sclerotiorum than iprodione.     

河南省小麦赤霉病菌对戊唑醇的敏感性

为明确河南省小麦赤霉病菌对戊唑醇的敏感性,采用菌丝生长速率法测定了戊唑醇对2016年自该省11个县(市)分离的113株病菌菌丝生长的毒力。结果表明,戊唑醇对小麦赤霉病菌菌丝生长最低抑制浓度为4μg·mL-1,对供试菌株的EC50值变化范围为0.010～0.237μg·mL-1,平均EC50为0.057±0.041μg·mL-1;敏感性频率分布图显示,病菌群体中虽然出现了对戊唑醇敏感性下降的亚群体,但仍有81.4%的菌株的敏感性频率呈正态分布,可将此部分菌株的平均EC50值(0.041±0.016μg·mL-1)作为小麦赤霉病菌对戊唑醇的敏感性基线;方差分析(LSD法)及SPSS聚类结果均显示,同一县(市)内的菌株对戊唑醇的敏感性差异较大,EC50最大值和最小值之比变化范围为1.10～14.23,而除周口沈丘及洛阳孟津菌株外,其余地区菌株对戊唑醇敏感性差异不明显,对戊唑醇的EC50平均值变化范围为0.038～0.101μg·mL-1,相差2.66倍;小麦赤霉病菌对戊唑醇与其对多菌灵、咯菌腈的敏感性之间无明显相关性。戊唑醇依然可以应用到河南省小麦赤霉病的化学防治上,但生产中应持续监测病菌对药剂的敏感性变化。

油菜F-box-LRR基因全基因组鉴定与核盘菌诱导应答分析

由核盘菌引起的菌核病是一种重要的真菌性病害,筛选菌核病抗病基因对抗病育种具有重要意义。F-box基因多参与植物抗逆反应,LRR作为抗病基因的重要结构域,在植物抗病防卫中起着重要的作用。本研究通过生物信息学方法在甘蓝型油菜基因组中对F-box-LRR基因进行了全基因组鉴定,基于已发表的中双11组织表达数据以及油菜不同品种中油821（抗病）和Westar（感病）接种核盘菌前后的转录组数据,对可能响应核盘菌诱导的BnF-box-LRR基因进行筛选,并结合荧光定量PCR进行验证。共鉴定到161个BnF-box-LRR基因,从系统进化树上可分为4个亚类（FBXLRR1,FBXLRR2,FBXLRR3和FBXLRR4）,其中第四亚类FBXLRR4在蛋白保守序列分布以及基因结构方面,与其它三个亚类具有较大差异,且与拟南芥参与植物抗逆的同源基因聚为一类,因此推测该分支可能主要参与植物胁迫响应。表达分析表明FBXLRR4家族基因在根和叶中有较高的表达水平,且在核盘菌诱导后具有明显的表达变化,暗示这些基因可能参与油菜菌核病抗性功能。

Recovery of Pantoea ananatis, causal agent of center rot of onion, from weeds and crops in Georgia, USA

Center rot of onion, caused by Pantoea ananatis, has been a problem of sweet onions in Georgia since 1997. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol was developed to screen for populations of P. ananatis on plant surfaces. Plant samples producing a positive PCR reaction were targeted for further processing to culture the bacterium. In a survey of the Vidalia onion-growing region of Georgia, we detected and cultured P. ananatis from 25 asymptomatic weed species, which included commonly occurring weeds such as crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), Florida beggarweed (Desmodium tortuosum), Florida pusley (Richardia scabra), sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia), Texas Millet (Panicum texanum), tall verbena (Verbena bonariensis) and yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus). In addition, the bacterium was recovered from crop plants such as Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) and soybean (Glycine max). Based on the field survey and tests with strains held in storage in the Coastal Plain Experiment Station culture collection, we concluded that P. ananatis was in Georgia prior to 1997, and was distributed widely on weeds and crops throughout southern Georgia.     

Yield and oil variability in modern varieties of high-erucic winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L. var. oleifera) and Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata A. Braun) under reduced agricultural inputs

Increasing interest in vegetable oils for use in green chemistry has stimulated research into high-erucic Brassicaceae species such as winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L. var. oleifera) and Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata A. Braun). The objective of this study was to determine the yield response of recently released cultivars of these species under high and low production inputs. The varieties Maplus and Hearty of B. napus, and BRK1 of B. carinata were cultivated with autumn sowing in a large-scale field trial at the experimental farm of the University of Padova in Legnaro (NE Italy, 45°21′N). The genotypes were compared under high and low input management systems: high input was characterised by conventional soil tillage, chemical weed control, and high N–P–K fertilization, and low input by minimum tillage, mechanical weed control, and limited N–P–K fertilization.Oilseed rape varieties had greater seed yield than BRK1, and interactions with input level and cultivation year were significant. Maplus yielded most at high input (3.78 vs. 3.31 t ha⁻¹ DM at low; average of two years), whereas Hearty showed no significant differences between inputs (3.49 t ha⁻¹; average of years and inputs), indicating its better adaptability to extensive agricultural management. Yield performance of BRK1 B. carinata was very stable at varying agricultural managements, but not very high (2.73 t ha⁻¹ on average) – a fact that may limit its competitiveness with oilseed rape in autumn sowing, especially at higher latitudes. B. carinata was also more variable across the years than oilseed rape in terms of seed yield, oil content, and percentage of erucic acid. This was mainly due to the particular climatic conditions of the second year of the experiment (mild winter; hot, dry spring) which led to considerable winter elongation and pre-flowering, and later to incomplete seed filling. In these conditions, BRK1 had both lower oil seed content (36.7% vs. 47.1%) and erucic acid (41.3% vs. 49.1%) than oilseed rapes.In general, with few exceptions, the reduction in inputs did not affect either seed oil content or the amount of erucic acid, regardless of variety and year, but seed crude proteins were reduced mainly because of N shortage.     

2012年云南省会泽县马铃薯晚疫病菌小种结构分析

利用11个含有不同单显性(R1、R2、R3、R4、R5、R6、R7、R8、R9、R10、R11)抗马铃薯晚疫病的鉴别寄主,对云南省会泽县村同一发病田块前、中、后期3个群体的马铃薯晚疫病菌59、158和75个菌株进行毒性频率和小种鉴定,分别鉴定出31、60和30个小种,大部分小种只检测到一次,其中优势小种为超级小种(含有11个毒性基因的晚疫病菌),占整个群体的53.33％;随着发病时间的推移,优势小种频率、小种复杂度呈上升趋势,但小种多样性呈降低趋势,在马铃薯生育期间除了avr4外,其它毒性基因的频率未发生显著变化.实验结果表明云南省马铃薯晚疫病菌小种演化速度快,小种结构复杂,在该地区种植起源于Solanum demission的R1～R11抗性基因存在较高的失效风险.
