广西宜州甘蔗白条病调查及分子检测

甘蔗白条病是一种检疫性细菌病害,具有危害性大,潜伏期长的特点,由白条黄单胞菌（Xanthomonas albilineans）引起,在种植甘蔗的主要国家或地区均有发生。2020年在广西宜州蔗区发现疑似感染甘蔗白条病蔗株,为明确病原及发生情况,为其科学防控提供科学依据。本研究对不同甘蔗品种新植和宿根蔗进行发病率调查,并采集病样进行PCR检测分析。田间调查结果显示：不同品种自然发病率不同,桂糖44新植和宿根蔗均有白条病发生,且宿根蔗发病率高于新植蔗,其中新植蔗发病率为8%～18%,平均发病率为13.83%;宿根蔗发病率为18%～34%,平均发病率为24.71%。而桂糖42、桂糖55、柳城05-136等3个品种新植和宿根蔗均未发现白条病。PCR检测结果表明：有10份样品扩增出608 bp的特异性条带,阳性检出率为90.9%,所得序列与X. albilineans序列同源性高达100%,且在构建的系统发育树处于同一分支。本研究结果表明,广西宜州蔗区发现由X. albilineans引起的甘蔗白条病。     

广西甘蔗白条病病原菌的分离鉴定

为明确引起我国甘蔗检疫性细菌病害甘蔗白条病的病原菌及其症状特点,从广西来宾和崇左甘蔗主产区采集疑似白条病病害样本,采用组织分离法进行病原菌的分离,利用形态学与基因序列分析相结合的方法鉴定病原菌,柯赫氏法则回接验证病原菌的致病性。结果表明,引起广西甘蔗白条病的病原菌为白条黄单胞杆菌(Xanthomonas albilineans),16S-23S rRNA基因转录间隔区(ITS)基因序列分析以及白条黄单胞杆菌特异基因分析结果显示分离到的白条病病原菌与法国、巴西以及新西兰等国家的白条病病原菌同源性达到99%～100%。人工接种条件下,该病原菌还可侵染玉米并发生类似病症。本研究成功分离鉴定我国广西甘蔗白条病病原菌,为今后的致病机理研究和白条病抗病育种等方面奠定基础。     

甘蔗白条病及其致病菌Xanthomonas albilineans研究进展

由白条黄单胞杆菌Xanthomonas albilineans引起的甘蔗白条病是一种寄生在植物维管组织的系统性细菌病害,在全球多数种植甘蔗的国家或地区普遍发生,对甘蔗产业的发展构成潜在威胁。本研究综述了甘蔗白条病的发生和分布、传播与流行规律以及病原菌生物学与基因组特性、鉴定与检测、遗传多样性和致病机理等方面内容;提出加强抗病种质挖掘与新品种选育推广、加快抗病分子育种进程、切断病害传播途径、加强隔离检验检疫等病害防控策略;此外,评估了该病害在我国蔗区流行暴发的风险,展望今后甘蔗抗病分子育种、病原菌致病机制及其与寄主互作机理等方面的分子基础研究重点与应用前景。     

白条黄单胞菌侵染对蔗叶和蔗茎组织超微结构的影响

本研究利用普通光学显微镜、透射电镜和扫描电镜观察白条黄单胞菌[Xanthomonas albilineans(Ashby) Dowson]侵染后菌体定殖及对甘蔗叶片和蔗茎组织超微结构的影响。结果表明,白条黄单胞菌侵染后叶片的薄壁组织细胞膜裂解,木质部生长受到抑制。叶绿体形状多近圆形,基质片层解体,被膜破坏呈松弛状态,出现大量的原生质膜。扫描电镜可见白条黄单胞菌存在于各个叶肉细胞中,同时在维管束中也发现菌体定殖,特别是木质部导管。蔗茎的维管束被白条黄单胞菌堵塞,使得蔗茎木质化、木栓化严重。本研究有助于理解白条黄单胞菌对甘蔗叶片和蔗茎细胞内细胞器损伤的形态破坏,为白条病防治提供超微形态学依据。

2019年10月,在云南弥勒甘蔗示范基地(23.92°N,103.33°E)发现‘云瑞10-187’和‘福农11-2907’高感甘蔗褐条病,发病率为50%～80%。为明确其病原,本研究采集病样进行了病原菌的分离、鉴定及系统发育分析,以期为该病害有效防控提供科学依据。依据形态特征、核糖体RNA的内转录间隔区(internal transcribed spacer, ITS)和甘油醛-3-磷酸脱氢酶基因(glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, GAPDH)分子鉴定及致病性测定,将病原菌鉴定为狗尾草平脐蠕孢Bipolaris setariae,是云南省甘蔗褐条病病原菌新记录种,丰富了甘蔗褐条病病原菌信息,为后续其他蔗区褐条病的研究奠定了基础。     

粤北地区果蔗细菌性病害PCR分子检测

为了解粤北地区果蔗主产区甘蔗宿根矮化病、赤条病和白条病病害发生和为害,本研究通过PCR技术对粤北果蔗产地植株蔗茎样品进行分子检测。结果表明,果蔗宿根矮化病菌总检出率为41.5%,各采样地块均检测出宿根矮化病病原菌,地块检出率达到100%,不同地块的检出率为10%~82.8%。赤条病和白条病病原菌未检出。粤北地区果蔗细菌性病害以甘蔗宿根矮化病为主。     

海南一品红细菌性叶斑病病原菌的分离与鉴定研究

 为明确海南省近几年发生的一品红细菌性叶部病害的病原菌特别是该病原菌的分子特征,为该病害的治理提供可行的依据,本文描述了2005年海南省部分花圃一品红植株上发生的细菌性叶斑病症状,并通过致病性测定、BIOLOG分析和16SrDNA序列比较将分离的病原菌鉴定为黄单胞菌属(Xanthomonas);部分碳源利用测定进一步显示2005年海南分离的菌株与2004年海南报道的细菌性疫病病原菌存在差异,但与杭州地区报道的一品红细菌性叶斑病菌基本一致。利用黄单胞菌模式种典型菌株的核糖体DNA内转录间隔区(internal transcribed spacer,ITS)序列构建系统发育树,结果显示3个海南菌株与巴豆黄单胞菌(Xanthomonas codiaei)和地毯草黄单胞菌(X.axonopodis)单独聚合成群,其中与巴豆黄单胞菌亲缘关系最近。     

云南甘蔗褐条病病原菌鉴定

<正>褐条病是甘蔗生长中后期叶部主要真菌病害之一。近年来因多雨高湿及感病品种大面积种植导致褐条病在我国第二大糖料基地云南暴发为害成灾，减产减糖严重[1],严重制约云南蔗糖产业的高质量发展。以病原菌研究为基础的种植和选育抗病品种是防治这种病害最经济有效的措施。有关云南蔗区褐条病病原菌研究甚少，有效防控依据缺乏。本研究从云南不同蔗区采集褐条病病样进行分离与鉴定，旨在明确病原菌种类，以期为甘蔗褐条病的流行预测及综合防治提供科学依据。

Dermestid beetles in ‘evolution Canyon’, lower Nahal Oren, Mt. Carmel, including new records for Israel

Fifteen species of dermestid beetles were recorded at ‘Evolution Canyon’ (EC), Lower Nahal Oren, Mt. Carmel, Israel. They represent ~35% of known Israeli dermestid species. The following three species were recorded for the first time in Israel:Trogoderma svriaca Dalla Torre, 1911;Ctesias svriaca Ganglbauer, 1904; andAnthrenus (s.str.) jordaniens Pic, 1934. Adults of 13 species were collected on the more solar radiated, warmer and climatically more fluctuating south-facing slope (SFS); ten species were collected on the opposite, north-facing slope (NFS), which was cooler and climatically more stable. The abundance of adult dermestid beetles was 1.9 times higher on the SFS than on the NFS (86 and 47, respectively). Species richness and abundance distribution at EC (three collecting stations on each slope and one at the valley bottom) were significantly negatively correlated with the plant cover that consisted of trees and bushes (Spearmanr _s ,P=0.007 and 0.039, respectively) and perennials (Spearmanr _s ,P=0.039 and 0.077, respectively), indicating that non-woody plants were preferred by adult dermestid beetles.     

Epidemiology of Toxigenic Fungi and their Associated Mycotoxins for Some Mediterranean Crops

Recent data on the epidemiology of the common mycotoxigenic species of Fusarium, Alternaria, Aspergillus and Penicillium in infected or colonized plants, and in stored or processed plant products from the Mediterranean area are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the toxigenicity of the causal fungal species and the natural occurrence of well known mycotoxins (aflatoxins, ochratoxins, fumonisins, trichothecenes, zearalenone, patulin, Alternaria-toxins and moniliformin), as well as some more recently described compounds (fusaproliferin, beauvericin) whose toxigenic potential is not yet well understood. Several Fusarium species reported from throughout the Mediterranean area are responsible of the formation of mycotoxins in infected plants and in plant products, including: Fusarium graminearum, F. culmorum, F. cerealis, F. avenaceum, F. sporotrichioides and F. poae, which produce deoxynivalenol, nivalenol, fusarenone, zearalenone, moniliformin, and T-2 toxin derivatives in wheat and other small grains affected by head blight or scab, and in maize affected by red ear rot. Moreover, strains of F. verticillioides, F. proliferatum, and F. subglutinans, that form fumonisins, beauvericin, fusaproliferin, and moniliformin, are commonly associated with maize affected by ear rot. Fumonisins, were also associated with Fusarium crown and root rot of asparagus and Fusarium endosepsis of figs, caused primarily by F. proliferatum. Toxigenic A. alternata strains and associated tenuazonic acid and alternariols were commonly found in black mould of tomato, black rot of olive and citrus, black point of small cereals, and black mould of several vegetables. Toxigenic strains of A. carbonarius and ochratoxin A were often found associated with black rot of grapes, whereas toxigenic strains of A. flavus and/or P. verrucosum, forming aflatoxins and ochratoxin A, respectively, were found in moulded plant products from small cereals, peanuts, figs, pea, oilseed rape, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pistachios, and almonds. Finally, toxigenic strains of P. expansum and patulin were frequently found in apple, pear and other fresh fruits affected by blue mould rot, as well as in derived juices and jams.

Plant Viruses Transmitted by Whiteflies

One-hundred and fourteen virus species are transmitted by whiteflies (family Aleyrodidae). Bemisia tabaci transmits 111 of these species while Trialeurodes vaporariorum and T. abutilonia transmit three species each. B. tabaci and T. vaporariorum are present in the European–Mediterranean region, though the former is restricted in its distribution. Of the whitefly-transmitted virus species, 90% belong to the Begomovirus genus, 6% to the Crinivirus genus and the remaining 4% are in the Closterovirus, Ipomovirus or Carlavirus genera. Other named, whitefly-transmitted viruses that have not yet been ranked as species are also documented. The names, abbreviations and synonyms of the whitefly-transmitted viruses are presented in tabulated form together with details of their whitefly vectors, natural hosts and distribution. Entries are also annotated with references. Whitefly-transmitted viruses affecting plants in the European–Mediterranean region have been highlighted in the text.     

Broad bean mottle virus in Morocco; curculionid vectors,and natural occurrence in food legumes other than faba bean (Vicia faba)

Broad bean mottle virus (BBMV) was transmitted from infected to healthy faba-bean plants by the curculionid weevilsApion radiolus Kirby,Hypera variabilis Herbst,Pachytychius strumarius Gyll,Smicronyx cyaneus Gyll, andSitona lineatus L. The latter appeared to be an efficient vector: acquisition and inoculation occurred at the first bite, the rate of transmission was c. 41%, and virus retention lasted for at least seven days.S. lineatus transmitted the virus from faba bean to lentil and pea, but not to the three genotypes of chickpea tested. This is the first report on the generaHypera, Pachytychius, andSmicronyx as virus vectors, and onA. radiolus, H. variabilis, P. strumarius, andS. cyaneus as vectors of BBMV.Out of 351 samples of food legumes with symptoms suggestive of virus infection, 16, 11, 19, and 17% of the samples of chickpea, lentil, pea, and common bean, respectively, were found infected when tested for BBMV in DAS-ELISA. This is the first report on the natural occurrence of BBMV in chickpea, lentil, pea, and common bean. The virus should be regarded as a food-legume virus rather than a faba-bean virus solely, and is considered an actual threat to food legume improvement programmes.     

Characterization of potato potyvirus Y (PVY) isolates from seed potato batches. Situation of the NTN, Wilga and Z isolates

A collection of 38 PVY isolates from seed potato batches, originating from several Western European countries, was characterized by using current biological, serological and molecular tools differentiating PVY strains and groups. The correlation between the three kinds of tests was good but not absolute. No single serological or PCR method was able to discriminate among the five isolate groups found. Twenty-nine isolates belonged to the PVY^N strain and six to the PVY^O strain. No PVY^C was found. Two other isolates reacted serologically like PVY^O, but were unable to elicit a hypersensitive response from the Ny_tbr gene and probably represent the PVY^Z group. At the molecular level, these two isolates showed a combination of both PVY^O and PVY^N and could be recombinants of these strains. Another isolate reacted serologically like PVY^O, but induced vein necrosis in tobacco, like PVY^N-Wilga. Some PVY^N isolates caused tuber ring necrosis in glasshouse conditions. These might belong to the PVY^NTN group. The PVY^NTN, PVY^N-Wilga and PVY^Z groups probably represent pathotypes within strains PVY^N and PVY^O, respectively. The present study also confirms previous reports showing a high genetic variation at the 5 end within the PVYN strain.     

The autumn leafroller: Phenology,damage and parasitoids in a Dutch apple orchard

The phenology of the autumn leafroller,Syndemis musculana, a local pest of apple, was studied in order to forecast larval emergence. From 1983–1986, peak flight as determined with sexpheromone traps was always between 13–18 May. The duration of embryonic development was determined at various constant temperatures and used to estimate the periods of egg hatch in these four years. Each year, most eggs should have hatched in the second decade of June.Differences in attack rates between apple cultivars seem to be explained largely by the variation in picking time. Larvae are only half grown at the beginning of harvest (cv. James Grieve), and have gone into hibernation when the latest variety (cv. Golden Delicious) is picked. Moreover, the varieties Cox's Orange Pippin and Belle de Boskoop, picked about half time, are liable to receive additional damage by caterpillars brought with the picked fruits into storage.Various hymenopterous parasites were reared from caterpillars. As the only leafroller in the orchard which hibernates as mature larva,S. musculana may promote winter survival of some parasitoids, like the eulophidColpyclypeus florus.Samenvatting De fenologie van de herfstbladroller (Syndemis musculana Hübner), een incidentele plaag op appel, werd nader bepaald met het doel het uitkomen van de eieren te kunnen voorspellen. In 1983–1986 viel de piekvlucht, bepaald met behulp van feromoonvallen, steeds tussen 13 en 18 mei.De ontwikkelingsduur van de eieren bij verschillende constante temperaturen werd gebruikt om de periode van uitkomen te schatten. De meeste eieren zullen ieder jaar in de eerste helft van juni uitkomen.Geconstateerde verschillen in schade tussen appelrassen blijken goeddeels terug te voeren op verschillen in pluktijdstip. De rupsen van de herfstbladroller zijn pas half-was als de eerste appels eind augustus geplukt worden, terwijl tegen het einde van de oogst begin oktober de meeste al in winterslaap zijn. Met name tussentijdse rassen, als Cox's Orange Pippin and Schone van Boskoop, lopen extra schade op doordat grotere rupsen met de geplukte vruchten in de kist terecht komen.Uit de rupsen werden negen, al van andere boomgaardbladrollers bekende, sluipwespen gekweekt, Omdat deze bladrollersoort, als enige in de boomgaard, als volgroeide rups overwintert, lijkt zij bij uitstek geschikt als winterwaard.This study was carried out at the Experimental Orchard De Schuilenburg, Schuilenburg 3, 4041 BK Kesteren, the Netherlands, to which address correspondence should be addressed.     

Characterization of Sclerotinia minor populations in Texas peanut fields

In the summer of 2004 an epidemic of sclerotinia blight of peanut, a disease caused by Sclerotinia minor, occurred in Texas in fields where the disease was never previously detected. The disease was observed on many plants within one of the fields (>3000 disease foci), although most foci were <1 m. It is hypothesized that these observations were inconsistent with the recent introduction of a monocyclic pathogen, even if disease developed under conducive environmental conditions. The pattern of disease is most suggestive of the presence of foliar (ascospore) infections, although air temperature was above the known limits for apothecia development if the pathogen had arrived in the field in 2004 peanut seed. To further examine this epidemic, 232 isolates were collected, across a variety of spatial scales spanning this field and other Texas peanut fields, and evaluated for aggressiveness, fungicide sensitivity and genotypic diversity. There was wide variation among isolates for the phenotypic characteristics measured, but there was no evidence that a genotypically unique, highly aggressive, and fungicide resistant isolate had been introduced or evolved. The predominant genotype, TX1, which contained 154 isolates, was found in every county and field population.     

Tumours of Begonia and some other ornamentals,induced by Corynebacterium fascians

In 1975 many tumours were observed in plants ofBegonia Schwabenland grown in Aalsmeer. Submersion of the roots ofNicotiana megalosiphon seedlings in a homogenate of tumorous tissue, induced tumours after two weeks. Short periods of submergence yielded results similar to those obtained after longer periods. Tumour homogenates lost their infectivity after ten min at 50°C. Aphids transmitted the infectious agent.Treatment with propylene oxide did not inhibit infectivity completely. Filtration through a 450 nm filter removed the infectious agent.Tobacco tumor virus or a viroid could not be isolated. Cultures ofCorynebacterium fascians, isolated from tumours ofN. megalosiphon were highly infectious and induced tumours in healthyN. megalosiphon andBegonia. Tumorous tissue homogenates ofPelargonium zonale, Dahlia sp.,Gladiolus sp., andLilium sp. also caused tumours inN. megalosiphon, from whichC. fascians was isolated. It was not possible to produce tumours inN. megalosiphon with homogenates from roses with symptoms of bud proliferation.Samenvatting In 1975 werden vele tumoren waargenomen inBegonia Schwabenland op Aalsmeerse bedrijven (Fig. 1). De infectiositeit van tumorweefsel kon goed en snel worden vastgesteld door de wortels van zaailingen vanNicotiana megalosiphon in een homogenaat van tumorweefsel te dompelen. Tumoren ontstonden na twee weken, de eindbeoordeling geschiedde na een maand (Fig. 2). Ook verschillende andereNicotiana spp.,Melilotus officinalis (Fig. 3) enPisum odoratum (Fig. 4) werden aangetast.Bij de infectiositeitstoets gaven zeer korte dompeltijden even goede resultaten als langere (Tabel 1). Infectieus sap verloor zijn infectievermogen na 10 min verhitting bij 50°C. Bladluizen brachten de smetstof over. Propyleenoxide verminderde de infectiositeit wel, doch onderdrukte deze niet totaal. Bij filtratie door een 450 nm filter bleef het infectieuse agens op het filter achter. Het tumor-inducerende agens was ook aanwezig in die delen van planten met tumoren welke gezond leken en het ging voor een gering deel over met zaad (Tabel 2).Uit tumoren konden wij geen tabakstumorvirus of een viroïde isoleren. Culturen vanCorynebacterium fascians, geïsoleerd uit tumoren vanN. megalosiphon bleken zeer infectieus en veroorzaakten tumoren inN. megalosiphon enBegonia. Homogenaten van tumorweefsel vanPelargonium zonale, dahlia (Fig. 5), gladiool (Fig. 6) enLilium Mid Century Hybrid Enchantment (Fig. 7) veroorzaakten ook tumoren opN. megalosiphon, waaruitC. fascians werd geïsoleerd. Met sap van kroeskopzieke rozen konden wijN. megalosiphon niet besmetten.     

Eyespot of Cereals Revisited: ITS phylogeny Reveals New Species Relationships

Four species so far classified in Pseudocercosporella or Ramulispora (hyphomycetes) are associated with eyespot disease symptoms of cereals. Two of these have been linked to teleomorphs that were described in Tapesia. Sequence data derived from the Internal Transcribed Spacer region (ITS1, 5.8S and ITS2) of the rDNA operon showed, however, that the eyespot fungi associated with Tapesia are not congeneric with Ramulispora sorghi, the type of Ramulispora. The genus name Tapesia is now rejected in favour of the conserved name Mollisia, which appears to comprise heterogeneous fungi. Tapesia yallundae is not closely related to the type of Mollisia, M. cinerea, but clusters separately, being more closely allied to species with Cadophora anamorphs. A new holomorph genus, Oculimacula, is therefore proposed for teleomorphs of the eyespot fungi, while the anamorphs are accommodated in Helgardia gen. nov.
