柑橘绿霉病菌木聚糖酶基因(PdXY2)功能初步研究

柑橘绿霉病菌(Penicillium digitatum)是引起柑橘储藏期腐烂最主要的病原之一,严重影响了柑橘产业发展。本试验克隆了柑橘绿霉病菌的木聚糖酶基因(PdXY2),对其表达进行研究,在柑橘发病过程中,PdXY2的表达显著升高,至48h达到最高,其表达量为对照的4倍。为进一步明确PdXY2基因功能,构建了PdXY2基因缺失突变株(ΔPdXY2),ΔPdXY2突变株的致病性与野生型相比没有明显差异。由此我们推断,在柑橘绿霉病菌侵染柑橘的过程中PdXY2有一定的作用,但是单一缺失木聚糖酶PdXY2基因不能影响其致病性。     

Real-time PCR法定量检测柑橘绿霉病菌对抑霉唑的抗性频率

 抑霉唑被广泛用来防治由指状青霉菌(Penicillium digitatum)引起的柑橘绿霉病。已有研究表明,柑橘绿霉病菌对抑霉唑的抗性由CYP51基因启动子区5个126-bp转录增强子的简单串联重复和126-bp转录增强子上199-bp的特异性片段插入所引起。基于这2种抗性分子机制,通过设计特异引物和优化条件,建立real-time PCR高通量分子检测技术,用于快速检测柑橘包装贮藏库中绿霉病菌群体对抑霉唑的抗性频率F_R,指导科学用药。

柑橘青霉病是柑橘果实采后危害最大的病害。为得到一株可有效应用于柑橘青霉病防治的柑橘内生真菌菌株,进行了柑橘果实内生菌分离、离体与活体试验筛选、菌株形态学与多基因位点分子系统发育鉴定、菌株活体应用效果与作用特点以及菌株代谢产物稳定性与应用防效试验。结果表明:筛选所得的柑橘内生真菌Gds-1在离体与活体条件下均对柑橘青霉菌有较好的抑制效果;经多基因位点联合系统发育分析,将Gds-1鉴定为燕麦镰刀菌Fusarium avenaceum;提前48 h施用Gds-1菌体,对柑橘青霉病的预防效果最好 (防治效果为90.67%);Gds-1菌丝不会损害健康柑橘果实表皮,但可以在柑橘果实表皮伤口和被柑橘青霉菌感染的组织部位发挥作用,从而抑制柑橘青霉菌;当温度在 ?80~100 ℃和pH=5~10时,Gds-1无菌发酵液对柑橘青霉菌的拮抗作用高效稳定;单独施用Gds-1无菌发酵滤液28 d和56 d时,对柑橘青霉病的防效与100 μg/mL的抑霉唑相当,显著高于清水对照。本研究首次报道了生防镰刀菌F. avenaceum Gds-1对柑橘青霉病的防治作用,为柑橘果实采后生物源防腐剂的选择提供了新来源,为镰刀菌生物防治机理研究提供了新思路。     

壳寡糖诱导对烟草体内TMV-CP基因表达的抑制作用

 采用实时荧光定量PCR方法, 研究了壳寡糖诱导对烟草体内TMV-CP基因表达量的影响。结果表明, 壳寡糖诱导后烟草表达了对TMV侵染的系统获得抗病性, 植株显症推迟4~7 d, 症状减轻, 平均严重度比对照降低了82.9%。同时烟草叶片中CP基因的表达量显著降低。壳寡糖诱导处理的植株在接种病毒时(0 h), CP基因的表达量(拷贝数/2μL)为0.918, 接种后168 h增加到167.730。而在不诱导对照植株内, CP基因的表达量在0 h为1.218, 接种后168 h猛增到648.623。换言之, 不处理对照的表达量在此期间增长了532.53倍, 而壳寡糖诱导处理植株中仅增长了182.71倍。试验证明壳寡糖诱导的系统获得抗病性强烈抑制了烟草体内TMV-CP基因的表达。     

温度诱导对星豹蛛热激蛋白hsp70和hsp90基因表达的影响

为探讨温度诱导对星豹蛛的应激反应,运用实时定量PCR法测定了不同温度对星豹蛛热激蛋白hsp70和hsp90基因表达量的影响。结果表明:经过17、20、23、26℃诱导后,星豹蛛hsp70和hsp90基因表达量与对照组差异不显著,当高于26℃时,随着温度的升高表达量呈先升高后降低的趋势,且在38℃时最高,分别为对照组的716.46和10.44倍,差异显著;低于17℃时,表达量随着温度的降低呈逐渐升高的趋势,其中-1℃时最高,分别为对照组的334.53和9.38倍,差异显著;-1~41℃范围内,在相同诱导温度处理下,星豹蛛hsp70基因表达量显著高于hsp90基因。表明当星豹蛛受到温度高于26℃或低于17℃的刺激后,体内hsp70和hsp90基因表达量均增加,且hsp70基因表达量高于hsp90基因。说明热激蛋白只有在极端高温和低温的条件下才充分表达,从而对机体产生保护作用,且这种保护只在一定温度范围内起作用。     

浙江衢州地区柑橘绿霉病菌对抑霉唑和多菌灵的抗性水平及其分子机制

研究了采自浙江衢州地区,包括柯城区、衢江区和开化县12个贮藏库的70个柑橘绿霉病菌Penicillium digitatum菌株对抑霉唑和多菌灵的抗性频率、抗性水平及其抗性分子机制。结果表明:柯城区和衢江区的抑霉唑抗性菌株(最低抑制浓度MIC≥0.5 μg/mL)的比例分别为77.1%和62.5%,两地抗性菌株的平均EC50值分别为2.07±1.04 μg/mL和2.35±0.73 μg/mL,分别是当地敏感菌株EC50值的41.4和47.0倍;而采自开化县的菌株均对抑霉唑敏感(MIC≤0.1 μg/mL),平均EC50值为0.04±0.02 μg/mL。柯城区和衢江区的多菌灵抗性菌株(MIC≥10 μg/mL) 的比例分别为54.3%和54.2%,而开化县的抗性菌株比例仅为9.1%。即来自柯城和衢江两个柑橘主产区的绿霉病菌群体对抑霉唑和多菌灵的抗性频率均远高于非柑橘主产区的开化县群体,说明抗药性群体的形成与药剂使用历史有关。进一步研究发现,衢州地区柑橘绿霉病菌对抑霉唑的抗性均属于IMZ-R3型,即与抑霉唑靶标基因 CYP51B 启动子区的插入突变有关,而对多菌灵的抗性则与 β-微管蛋白基因的992位核苷酸点突变(T→A)导致对应的200位点的氨基酸突变(F→Y)有关。

Penicillium digitatum Suppresses Production of Hydrogen Peroxide in Host Tissue During Infection of Citrus Fruit

ABSTRACT During the infection of citrus fruit by Penicillium digitatum there is little evidence of a host defense response. This suggests that P. digitatum has the ability to suppress host defenses. The current study demonstrates that P. digitatum suppresses a defense-related hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) burst in host tissue. In contrast, the nonhost pathogen, Penicillium expansum, triggers production of a significant amount of H(2)O(2) in citrus fruit exocarp. Using laser scanning confocal microscopy, we demonstrated that P. digitatum suppressed an elevation in H(2)O(2) up to 42 h after inoculation. Nevertheless, H(2)O(2) levels around wounds inoculated with P. expansum increased by 63-fold above the control. P. digitatum continued to suppress H(2)O(2) production in citrus fruit exocarp up to 66 h postinoculation and H(2)O(2) levels were actually threefold below that of noninoculated controls. In contrast, the H(2)O(2) level was still about 11-fold above the control value in wound sites inoculated with P. expansum. Studies on the effect of organic acids (as pH modulators) on the response of citrus fruit to compatible and noncompatible pathogens indicated that pathogenicity was enhanced only when host-tissue acidification was accompanied by the suppression of H(2)O(2). Additionally, pathogenicity of both P. digitatum and P. expansum on citrus fruit was significantly enhanced by the H(2)O(2)-scavenging enzyme catalase. Based on our study and previous reports regarding the potential involvement of citric acid and catalase in green mold pathogenesis, we suggest that these compounds are strongly associated with the virulence of P. digitatum.     

Sensitivity of Penicillium digitatum and P. italicum to Postharvest Citrus Fungicides in California

ABSTRACT Penicillium digitatum isolates (326), collected in California citrus groves and packinghouses, were assayed qualitatively for their sensitivity to imazalil, thiabendazole, and o-phenylphenol. Eighteen typical triple-resistant isolates, acquired in each of 3 years (1988, 1990, and 1994), were assayed quantitatively for their sensitivity to each of the three fungicides. No significant differences were found in the mean sensitivity of the isolates collected in different years. However, the proportion of isolates that were resistant to all three fungicides increased from 43% in 1988 to 77% in 1990 and 74% in 1994. Imazalil-resistant biotypes of P. digitatum were isolated frequently in California packinghouses, while resistant P. italicum was rare. No fungicide-resistant biotypes of either species were collected from citrus groves. Wild-type P. italicum was slightly less sensitive than wild-type P. digitatum to all three fungicides. The concentration of imazalil producing 50% growth inhibition (EC(50)) was three times greater when the age of the P. digitatum assay inoculum was increased from 12 to 24 h. Activity of imazalil increased with pH of the assay medium in the range pH 5.1 to 5.9, reflecting the greater concentration of dissociated imazalil at the higher pH value.     

Induction of Resistance to Penicillium digitatum in Grapefruit by the Yeast Biocontrol Agent Candida oleophila

ABSTRACT The yeast Candida oleophila, the base of the commercial product Aspire, is recommended for the control of postharvest decay in citrus and pome fruit. Its modes of action include nutrient competition, site exclusion, and direct mycoparasitism. In the present study, we showed that application of Candida oleophila to surface wounds or to intact 'Marsh Seedless' grapefruit elicited systemic resistance against Penicillium digitatum, the main postharvest pathogen of citrus fruit. The induction of pathogen resistance in fruit was already pronounced 24 h after elicitation; it was distance, concentration, and time dependent and restricted to the peel tissue closely surrounding the yeast application site. The induction of pathogen resistance required viable yeast cells at concentrations of 10(8) to 10(9) cells ml(-1). Nonviable autoclaved or boiled yeast cells or lower yeast concentrations were ineffective in enhancing fruit disease resistance. Application of Candida oleophila cell suspensions to grapefruit peel tissue increased ethylene biosynthesis, phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity, and phytoalexin accumulation, and increased chitinase and beta-1,3-endoglucanase protein levels, indicated by western immunoblotting analysis. Scanning electron microscope observations revealed that spore germination and germ tube growth of Penicillium digitatum were markedly inhibited in wounds made near the yeast-treated sites. Overall, this study provides evidence that induced resistance against postharvest decay of citrus fruit should be considered an important component of the multiple modes of action of the yeast Candida oleophila.     

赣南脐橙绿霉病菌对常用杀菌剂抗性监测

 本文研究了来自赣南7个县的柑橘绿霉病菌(Penicillium digitatum)种群对该地区常用杀菌剂抑霉唑、咪鲜胺、甲基硫菌灵和百可得的抗性频率、抗性水平和对抑霉唑的抗性分子机制。结果表明:病菌对抑霉唑和咪鲜胺存在基本一致的抗性;2011和2012年病菌种群对抑霉唑和咪鲜胺的抗性频率分别为82%和90%,平均抗性倍数为51.5倍,抗性分子机制均属于IMZ-R3,即CYP51B基因启动子区发生199 bp插入的突变;病菌种群对甲基硫菌灵的抗性频率分别为82%和91%;病菌种群对百可得均表现敏感。本研究为采后柑橘病害防治药剂选择提供了科学的依据。     

浙江省柑橘绿霉病菌对嘧菌酯的敏感性研究

采用孢子萌发法和生长速率法测定了2000~2006年间采自浙江衢州、杭州、金华、丽水的65个柑橘绿霉病病菌Penicillium digitatum菌株对嘧菌酯的敏感性。结果表明:嘧菌酯对供试菌株 孢子萌发和菌丝生长的EC50值均呈单峰分布,分别介于0.020 1 ~0.260 0 μg/mL和0.005 3 ~0.079 4 μg/mL 之间,平均值分别为0.042 6 μg/mL 和0.025 0 μg/mL。敏感性频次分析结果表明,该65个菌株孢子萌发和菌丝生长对嘧菌酯的敏感性频率分布均符合正态分布,其EC50平均值0.042 6±0.030 4 μg/mL 和0.025 0±0.012 9 μg/mL可分别作为柑橘绿霉病菌孢子萌发和菌丝生长对嘧菌酯的敏感基线。     

Green Fluorescent Detection of Fungal Colonization and Endopolygalacturonase Gene Expression in the Interaction of Alternaria citri with Citrus

ABSTRACT Alternaria citri, a postharvest pathogen, produces endopolygalacturonase (endoPG) and causes black rot on citrus fruit. We previously described that an endoPG-disrupted mutant of Alternaria citri was significantly reduced in its ability to macerate plant tissue and cause black rot symptoms on citrus. In order to investigate colonization of citrus fruit tissues by Alternaria citri, pTEFEGFP carrying a green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene was introduced into wild-type Alternaria citri and its endoPG-disrupted mutant (M60). Green fluorescence was observed in spores, germ tubes, appressoria, and infection hyphae of transformants G1 (derived from wild type) and GM4 (derived from M60). Hyphae of G1 but not GM4 vertically penetrated the peel, but the hyphae of both G1 and GM4 spread equally in the juice sac area of citrus fruit. Green fluorescence of Alternaria citri transformant EPG7 carrying a GFP gene under control of the endoPG gene promoter of Alternaria citri was induced by pectin in the peel during the infection stage, but repressed completely in the juice sac area, likely by carbon catabolite repression by sugars in the juice.     

土壤pH对芸薹根肿菌侵染及病害发生的影响

通过设置不同pH梯度,研究土壤pH对根肿菌侵染及病害发生的影响。结果表明:土壤酸性时病菌侵染速度快,碱性时慢,而强酸性和碱性土壤条件则抑制孢子萌发;pH为6.0时最有利于根肿菌休眠孢子萌发,萌发率最高,为53.96%;碱性条件可使初级原生质团变形凝结成球状,不能正常分裂或延迟形成游动孢子囊,从而不利于根肿菌侵染。白菜发病率与病情指数随pH升高,呈先上升后下降趋势。其中,pH为5.0时,发病率和病情指数最高,pH 7.0~8.0时发病轻。因此,适宜的偏酸性环境条件下,通过作用于病菌休眠孢子萌发和侵染,提高病害危害程度,而中性或碱性条件干扰该过程并降低病害发生。
