Summary A sampling strategy was evaluated in the Andean highlands of Peru to optimise the detection ofRalstonia solanacearum in seed tubers harvested from symptomless crops. A sensitive and specific serological method developed at CIP was used to
detect the pathogen in latently infected tubers. Optimum sample size was evaluated for symptomless crops after analysing various
numbers of composite samples and using a binomial distribution model to calculate the detection probabilities.R. solanacearum was detected in all lots from fields with visible symptoms, so validating the detection technique. About half of the seed
lots from apparently healthy fields at altitudes of up to 3,100 m were found positive for the pathogen.R. solanacearum was detected with 99% probability in samples of 350 tubers from seed lots from symptomless crops. This number of seed tubers
could feasibly be processed in a seed-health test without incurring too high a cost for labour and materials. 相似文献

Summary Seed tubers, cv. Désirée, derived from stocks treated annually with thiabendazole were infected with thiabendazole-resistant
strains ofHelminthosporium solani andPolyscytalum pustulans. Samples of seed tubers were either untreated or immersed for 5 min in fungicide suspensions of thiabendazole, imazalil or
thiabendazole plus imazalil and planted on four farms in 1988 and 1989. After harvest, tuber samples from each treatment were
treated with thiabendazole and stored for 6 months.
Applying imazalil or thiabendazole plus imazalil to seed tubers decreased the severity of silver scurf and skin spot on stored
progeny tubers. Thiabendazole applied to seed tubers or to progeny tubers after harvest did not affect the severity of either
disease, but post-harvest treatment decreased the incidence of black scurf after storage. 相似文献

Summary The majority of isolates ofFusarium avenaceum caused dry rot on potato tubers; many were as pathogenic asF. coeruleum. Pathogenicity ofF. avenaceum was not related to the plant species from which the isolates originated. Tubers of potato cv. Cara were more susceptible
than those of cvs Romano or Maris Piper. Temperature (5–15° C) had no effect on lesion depth but lesions tended to be slightly
wider at the lowest temperature. Two isolates (of 61) from wheat and white lupin had a moderate level of resistance to thiabendazole.
The results are discussed in relation to the control of dry rot in stored potato tubers. 相似文献

Summary Potato stems and tubers grown in the field from seed tubers inoculated withClavibacter michiganensis subsp.sepedonicus, which causes bacterial ring rot, were tested by indirect, sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in five laboratories.
Correlation between values for each experimental treatment from the five laboratories was greater (r=0.86) than correlation between values for individual samples (r=0.71). When three or more laboratories obtained ELISA values of ≥0.200 for a sample, that sample was presumed to be positive.
Conversely, when three or more laboratories obtained ELISA values <0.200, the consensus determination was regarded as negative.
The percentage of stem and tuber samples that were in agreement with the consensus ELISA determination varied from 65.5 to
96.7%. Indirect immunofluorescence tests, conducted on the same samples in two laboratories, were consistent with 83.4–91.9%
of the consensus ELISA determinations. Presence or absence ofC.m. sepedonicus was confirmed in some samples by an eggplant bioassay and direct isolatiion of the bacterium. The ELISA procedure was well
suited for screening large numbers of samples and this study confirms it to be a promising procedure in routine indexing of
seed potatoes forC.m. sepedonicus. 相似文献

Summary Multiplication factors and progeny yield variation in crops from minitubers of five weight classes (ranging from 0.13–0.25
g to 2.00–3.99 g) and conventional seed tubers were studied in field experiments in three years. Multiplication factors were
calculated as the number and weight of progeny tubers produced per planted tuber or per unit planted tuber weight. They were
lower for the lighter minitubers when calculated per tuber and higher when calculated per weight. Yield variation was described
by coefficients of variation for the number and weight of progeny tubers produced. Variation over individual plants of a crop
was higher in stands from the lighter minitubers. Variation over plots within a field was sometimes higher for the lighter
minitubers, but variation over years was similar for all minituber classes. Variation over plots in progeny tuber weight was
higher for minitubers than for conventional tubers. 相似文献

Summary An indirect sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to monitor potato stems of three cultivars for the
presence of the ring rot pathogen,Clavibacter michiganensis subsp.sepedonicus, during the growing season and in progeny tubers after harvest. The highest ELISA values were obtained with the highest concentration
of bacteria used to inoculate seed pieces in all cultivars tested. Low ELISA values were obtained for stems and progeny tubers
selected from plants grown from seed inoculated at lower bacterial concentrations. Estimates of bacterial densities in stems
and progeny tubers by immunofluorescence indicated that low ELISA values were most probably caused by low bacterial numbers.
It is suggested that the sensitivity of ELISA for detecting the ring rot pathogen in potato stems and progeny tubers is a
function of the concentration of bacteria in individual seed pieces. 相似文献

A comparative study of phenylpropanoid metabolism in gamma irradiated and unirradiated potato tubers
Summary Phenylpropanoid metabolism in gamma irradiated potato tubers was studied by examining the pattern of incorporation of radioactivity
from U-14C phenylalanine into caffeic acid. chlorogenic acid and the coniferyl and sinapyl moieties of lignin. During a post-irradiation
period of 21 days a depletion in chlorogenic acid was observed. This is a result of its impaired synthesis as well as an accelerated
conversion of chlorogenic acid to ferulic and sinapic acids and their deposition in lignin.
The results offer an explanation for the lower level of chlorogenic acid invariably observed in irradiated potato tubers. 相似文献

Summary For potato breeding or genetical research purposes, the number of copies of a dominant major gene for resistance to potato
virus Y in a parent clone can be determined by test-crossing with a susceptible parent and observing the segregation ratio
of resistant to susceptible seedlings in the progeny. In a comparison of different susceptible cultivars for use in test-crosses
for this purpose, their progenies differed in the clarity of symptoms and parental phenotype proved an unreliable guide. Cvs
Maris Piper, Arran Peak and Dr MacIntosh were found to be suitable tester parents, Pentland Squire less so and cv. Désirée
was confirmed as having a major gene conferring incomplete resistance. It was found advisable to test-cross with more than
one susceptible parent. 相似文献

Summary Tubers were obtained from 80 glasshouse-grown seedlings of each of twelve progenies, inoculated withPhoma foveata Foister, and the mean percentage of infected tubers recorded. There was a good correlation (r=0.798) between this assessment and that made previously on field-grown tubers of eleven of the progenies. A gangrene test
on glasshouse-grown tubers is suggested as a more rapid means of identifying progenies with useful levels of resistance. 相似文献

Summary Chambers were designed to simulate environmental conditions present in commercial potato stores and were used to introduce
condensation to tubers infected with silver scurf (Helminthosporium solani). The electrical resistance measured across the skin of tubers from the top of the chambers was consistently lower than that
from the bottom of the chamber, and this was reflected in an increased number ofH. solani spores produced by the top tubers. An increase in the length of the condensation period resulted in the skin resistance remaining
lower for a longer period and also resulted in higher number of spores. Tubers held at relatively high ambient temperatures
(15 °C) required a shorter period of condensation to cause an increase in spore count. This investigation highlighted the
need for close monitoring of store environments so that condensation events can be quickly identified and the tubers dried. 相似文献

Summary A sensitive, rapid and inexpensive method has been developed for quantifying the glucose, fructose and sucrose content of
potato tubers. The method, based on selective enzyme-coupled reaction systems and the reduction of NAD to NADH, uses a microplate
reader fitted with a 340 nm filter. In one microtiter plate 96 samples can be analysed for all three sugars in less than two
hours. Several plates can be processed in parallel. 相似文献

The combination of thymol, a monoterpene phenol compound originating from thyme, and acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM; Actigard 50 WG), a systemic acquired resistance (SAR) inducer, was applied to tomato plants in field conditions to evaluate the effectiveness of both chemicals to control bacterial wilt. Thymol was applied as a soil fumigant at 9.43 kg per ha 24 h after soil infestation and seven days before transplanting. ASM was applied as a foliar spray at 3.59-8.98 ml per ha, once in the greenhouse and five times in the field. The field was inoculated by applying 50 ml of pathogen suspension (107 cfu/ml) into each transplanting hole eight days prior to transplanting. The experiment was performed in 2006 and repeated in 2008 at the North Florida Research and Education Center in Quincy, FL. In 2006, the combination of ASM and thymol significantly reduced disease in the bacterial wilt tolerant genotype 7514 compared to thymol alone. In 2008, the combination of ASM and thymol significantly reduced disease and increased yield compared to the control, whereas ASM or thymol alone did not significantly reduce disease or increase yield compared to the control. This is the first report of the use of both thymol and ASM to control bacterial wilt on moderately resistant tomato cultivars. Based on this study, control of the pathogen can be achieved by using both chemicals and moderately resistant cultivars. 相似文献

Summary A comparison of reactions of potato cultivars toS. endobioticum indicated that the degree of susceptibility observed in laboratory tests correlated well with the reaction of cultivars in
field tests. Some cultivars found to be less resistant (Resistance Grade 2) in laboratory tests produced winter spores in
the field test, and 10% of those derived from cv. Ausonia germinated in distilled water. Compost from the field plot was estimated
to contain 14–18 apparently viable spores/g. and this resulted in 100% infection of the highly susceptible cv. Arran Chief.
The implications of these findings for descheduling sites previously scheduled due to wart infestation are discussed. 相似文献

Summary Deposits, believed to contain calcium, were located in different cells of the potato tuber after using an antimonate procedure.
In the starch-storage parenchyma of the medulla and cortex antimonate deposits were abundant within vacuoles, on the tonoplast,
and to a lesser extent in cell walls. Phloem tissues contained a high concentration of deposits, mainly within companion cells
and phloem parenchyma, consistent sites of deposition being mitochondria, plastids and tonoplasts. Deposits were abundant
within vacuoles of cells of the xylem parenchyma. Within vessel elements deposits were limited to the surface of secondary
wall thickenings. Antimonate deposits associated with the middle lamella of xylem parenchyma were rarely found. The results
are discussed in relation to previous findings for potato tubers and for higher plant cells in general. 相似文献

Summary Tissue from developing tubers, mature tubers, and mature tubers that had been stored at 4°C, was killed and extracted with
trichloroacetic acid in diethylether. Inorganic pyrophosphate was detected in the aqueous phase of the extracts with pyrophosphate
fructose-6-phosphate-1-phosphotransferase. No pyrophosphate could be detected in extracts that had been pretreated with pyrophosphatase.
Pyrophosphate contents of about 3–12 nmol/g fresh weight were found. It is suggested that potato tubers contain sufficient
pyrophosphate to allow the enzyme UDPglucose pyrophosphorylase to convert UDPglucose to glucose-1-phosphate during cucrose
breakdown. 相似文献

Summary Over 2 years, seed tubers or stems were inoculated withFusarium sulphureum Schlecht. (F. sambucinum Fuckel f. 6 Wollenw.) and the incidence of dry rot on daughter tubers assessed by standardised wound tests. The amount of
stem and soil inoculum was also measured in one year.
Inoculating stem bases resulted in greater concentrations of spores on the stem bases, greater soil populations at harvest
and more dry rot on tubers than inoculating the seed tuber. Overall, the incidence of dry rot and the amount of stem and soil
inoculum was similar for the three methods of haulm destruction: cutting and removing the stems, applying sulphuric acid or
applying diquat dibromide to the growing plants. 相似文献

Summary The relationship between resistance to late blight in foliage and tuber was examined on 50 clones of each of five progenies
from crosses where one parent was resistant in both foliage and tuber and the other susceptible. Foliage resistance was assessed
in a field trial and tuber resistance in a laboratory test on glasshouse-grown tubers. The genetical and environmental components
of variance and the phenotypic and genetical correlations between foliage and tuber blight scores were determined for each
progeny. Foliage and tuber resistance were correlated, indicating either that both are determined by the same genes or by
different linked genes.
The environmental component of variation was greater for tuber blight than foliage blight. We suggest that the most effective
way of selecting for resistance to both aspects of the disease in a breeding programme is to select those resistant in the
foliage and then screen them for tuber resistance. 相似文献

Summary Potato plants, after inoculation with a South African strain of biovar 2 or a strain of biovar 3 ofPseudomonas solanacearum were grown in growth chambers at temperatures ranging from 14/16°C (dark/light) up to 25/30°C. When grown at 14/16°C or higher,
plants inoculated with the biovar 2 strain developed wilting symptoms and internal symptoms on progeny tubers and the disease
was transmitted by the progeny tubers. When the plants were inoculated with the biovar 3 strain, wilting symptoms developed
from 18/20°C, internal symptoms on progeny tubers from 20/22°C and the disease was transmitted by progeny tubers from plants
grown at 16/18°C or higher. 相似文献

Summary Potato tubers kept under hypoxia (1%) showed improved viability in comparison to anoxia, which was associated with the maintenance
of intermediate adenylate energy charge values (A.E.C.=0.6) and stable adenylate pools at 50% of the initial levels. Re-admission
of oxygen to the tuber resulted in an almost full recovery of adenylate energy charge and total adenylates after up to 3 days
of hypoxic pretreatment. Tubers exhibited a mixed fermentation. The high lactate, ethanol and acetaldehyde levels proved to
be non toxic. Ethanol was degraded to acetaldehyde during re-aeration. Posthypoxic lipid peroxidation was indicated by malondialdehyde
and ethane formation. Both products occurred with a temporary delay and in lower amounts compared to post-anoxia. Ethylene
release was also considerably smaller. Severe hypoxia and posthypoxia postponed tissue death compared to anoxia. Survival
was correlated with an improved energy supply which stabilized membranes. 相似文献

Summary The kinetics of accumulation of phytoalexins, glycoalkaloids and phenolics was studied in two potato cultivars differing in
their degrees of field resistance when infected withPhytophthora infestans. Tuber slices and leaves of cvs Pampeana INTA (high degree of field resistance, free of R genes) and Bintje (susceptible)
were infected with race C (complex race 1, 3, 5, 7, 11) ofPhytophthora infestans. Phytoalexins and phenolics accumulated in tuber and leaf tissues which had been inoculated. The levels of these compounds
in the susceptible cv. Bintje were relatively low and similar to those found before inoculation. Leaves of cv. Pampeana INTA
had a very high glycoalkaloid content, suggesting that glycoalkaloids may play a role in protection of leaves against the
fungus. However, we could find no correlation between resistance and glycoalkaloid content of tubers. Our results suggest
a major role of phytoalexins, phenolics and glycoalkaloids in the complex mechanisms of field resistance. 相似文献
