Histology of the infection of tritordeum and its parents by cereal brown rusts

The reactions of tritordeum lines and their Hordeum chilense and Triticum spp. parents to infection by Puccinia recondita f.sp. tritici, P. recondita f.sp. agropyri and P. hordei were studied at the seedling stage. The histological observations indicated that tritordeum behaves as the wheat parent, whatever the H. chilense parental line reaction. Tritordeum is to be considered a host of wheat brown rust where genes for hypersensitive resistance may occur; these are apparently contributed by the wheat parent. Both H. chilense and wheat are highly resistant to barley brown rust, and the reaction of tritordeum is that of the wheat parent with respect to the levels of necrosis associated with the early aborted infection units. The tritordeum reaction is also that of the wheat parent to a rust collected on H. jubatum (putatively P. recondita f.sp. agropyri ), with the susceptibility or resistance of H. chilense being overruled by the wheat parent reaction.     

不同杀菌剂拌种防治小麦全蚀病研究

为筛选防治小麦全蚀病的高效安全药剂,对多种杀菌剂在不同浓度下的防效以及对小麦的安全性进行了盆栽试验.结果表明,硅噻菌胺和苯醚甲环唑在推荐浓度下对小麦全蚀病有很好的防治效果,并且对小麦出苗、苗高没有显著影响;咯菌腈的防效与苯醚甲环唑相似,但对小麦出苗有轻微的抑制作用;其他几种杀菌剂对小麦全蚀病也能起到很好的防治效果,但是对小麦的生长有一定的抑制作用.从防治效果、对小麦安全性以及抗药性治理方面综合考虑,将硅噻菌胺、苯醚甲环唑和咯菌腈等交替或混合使用是防治小麦全蚀病比较好的策略.     

新烟碱类杀虫剂种子包衣防治麦蚜的可行性评价

为评价不同新烟碱类杀虫剂处理种子防治小麦蚜虫的应用潜力,采用种子包衣法分别在室内及田间比较了吡虫啉、噻虫嗪、啶虫脒、烯啶虫胺、噻虫啉防治小麦蚜虫的效果及安全性,并测定了吡虫啉和噻虫嗪的持效、对天敌和小麦产量的影响及其在小麦籽粒中的最终残留量。结果表明,在2.4、3.6和4.8 g/kg种子剂量下,啶虫脒明显降低小麦出苗率,而其它药剂均无显著影响;至抽穗前烯啶虫胺、啶虫脒和噻虫啉对麦蚜的防效低,吡虫啉和噻虫嗪则均有较高防效,在58.17%以上,而在小麦抽穗扬花期防效下降,为33.57%~60.46%。吡虫啉和噻虫嗪对叶部麦蚜防效均相应高于穗部。与喷雾处理相比,吡虫啉、噻虫嗪各剂量种子包衣对瓢虫和蚜茧蜂等天敌昆虫影响小,在3.6、4.8 g/kg种子剂量下,小麦千粒重和产量无显著差异,且在小麦籽粒中的残留量低。表明吡虫啉和噻虫嗪种子包衣防治麦蚜的应用潜力大。     

Wheat leaf rust severity as affected by plant density and species proportion in simple communities of wheat and wild oats

ABSTRACT While it is generally accepted that dense stands of plants exacerbate epidemics caused by foliar pathogens, there is little experimental evidence to support this view. We grew model plant communities consisting of wheat and wild oats at different densities and proportions and exposed these communities to Puccinia recondita to induce wheat leaf rust. Wild oats was included because it is a common competitor of wheat and may act as a barrier to the dispersal of P. recondita spores among wheat plants. Disease severity was estimated as percentage of wheat flag leaves covered by rust lesions. Seeding density rarely had a significant influence on rust severity, probably because of compensation due to increased tillering at low seeding densities. In contrast, increasing the proportion of wheat in mixtures with wild oats consistently increased wheat leaf rust severity. Regression parameters describing wheat leaf rust severity as a function of wheat seeding density did not differ significantly between pure wheat stands and wheat-wild oat mixtures and, thus, failed to support an effect of wild oats on wheat leaf rust other than through its competitive impact on wheat tiller density.     

BTH和INA诱导小麦抗条锈病性的研究

用不同浓度的苯(1,2,3)噻二嗪-7-硫代羧酸-S-甲酯(BTH)或2,6-二氯异烟酸(INA)喷雾处理小麦幼苗,进行小麦诱导抗病性研究。结果表明,以1.0mmol(毫摩尔)INA处理后接种小麦条锈病的诱导抗性效果最好。以1.0mmolINA和0.3mmolBTH处理小麦叶片5d后接种,叶片中苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)和多酚氧化酶(PPO)的活性均有明显上升,且PAL、PPO和INA、BTH的诱导抗性表达都呈正相关关系。BTH和INA水溶液对小麦条锈菌夏孢子的萌发均无明显抑制作用。据此认为,处理后病情指数的下降是由于试剂处理提高了小麦幼苗的抗病性,即麦苗产生了诱导抗性而引起的。     

Leaf Rust on Aegilops speltoides Caused by a New Forma Specialis of Puccinia triticina

ABSTRACT A leaf rust attacking Aegilops speltoides in its natural habitat is reported for the first time. It was found in two locations in northern and central Israel. The two collections from A. speltoides resemble wheat leaf rust, Puccinia triticina, in most spore dimensions, in the morphology of the substomatal vesicle of the urediniospore, and in DNA content in pycniospore nuclei. Similarly to P. triticina isolates from wheat, isolates taken from A. speltoides are compatible with Thalictrum speciosissimum as an aecial host and they are crossed easily with wheat leaf rust isolates. However, isolates from A. speltoides differ from wheat leaf rust in their telial host range. They are avirulent to cultivated wheat cultivars, but attack hundreds of A. speltoides accessions that were immune to wheat leaf rust. This distinct host preference justifies delineation of the newly found leaf rust as a forma specialis (f. sp. speltoides) within P. triticina.     

高效液相色谱-串联质谱法测定小麦和土壤中氨氯吡啶酸的残留量

小麦雪霉叶枯病产量损失研究

人工接种试验结果表明，雪腐格氏霉引起小麦成株期叶枯、鞘枯和穗腐。鞘枯使小麦穗粒重减少０．８％～３２．９％，千粒重降低９．５％～１６．９％；穗腐使小麦穗粒重减少９．６％～３９．８％，千粒重降低７．８％～１７．９％；鞘枯－穗腐复合症状使穗粒重减少１０．２％～６５．２％，千粒重下降９．５％～１４．８％，叶斑－鞘枯－穗腐使粒重减少１１．７％～５１．５％，千粒重下降１２．１％～１８．３％。     

Evaluating and Modeling of the Seedling Growth Ability of Wheat Seeds as Affected by Shallow-Saline Groundwater Conditions

The adverse effects of shallow-saline groundwater may vary among crucial growth stages of crops by decreasing crop growth and productivity. The present study aimed to assess the germination and seedling growth ability of wheat seeds grown in four different (0.38, 2.0, 4.0, and 8.0 dSm^?1) groundwater salinities (GWS) and three (30, 55, and 80?cm) groundwater depths (GWD) condition. To achieve this aim, wheat crops were grown in drainable lysimeters under rain shelter conditions until the maturity stage, and then wheat seeds were harvested from various saline groundwater conditions. Afterward, wheat seeds were germinated to identify the performance of germination and seedling growth attributes. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to determine the optimal growing wheat seeds condition, which had high early seedling growth performance. The results showed that the seedling growth performance of wheat seeds increased with increasing GWDs, while decreased with increasing GWSs. Based on the RSM findings, we suggest that GWD and GWS should be at least 42?cm and at most 5.46 dSm^?1, respectively, for sustainable higher wheat yield and seed quality. Finally, this study could provide considerable information for selecting strong and healthy wheat seeds grown under shallow saline groundwater conditions.

     

应用real-time PCR定量检测小麦条锈菌潜伏侵染量方法的建立

 小麦条锈病是我国小麦主要病害之一。快速、及时地诊断与定量监测处于潜育状态下的病叶,对准确估计越冬、越夏后的病情,制定正确的防治方案具有重要的意义。根据小麦条锈菌Puccinia striiformis的β-tubilin基因序列设计对该病原菌的种具有特异性的引物betaf/betar,并分别在普通PCR和real-time PCR扩增时对该引物的特异性和灵敏性进行了测定。结果表明该引物对小麦条锈菌特异性高,可稳定扩增出243 bp的目标条带。Real-time PCR的灵敏度为普通PCR的100倍。应用此特异性引物,建立了real-time PCR测定系统,定量测定了条锈菌在小麦叶片接种后组织内的DNA随时间的变化。结果表明,在接种后12 h,可在小麦叶片内检测到条锈菌,且条锈菌在小麦叶片内潜育期间随时间呈指数增长。接种第6 d后叶片内的菌量有明显的增加。建立的小麦条锈菌的real-time PCR早期定量测定方法,为及时、快速监测小麦条锈病在潜育期间的发病规律以及为该病的预测、防治提供依据。

Identification of Alternaria spp. on wheat by pathogenicity assays and sequencing

The pathogenicity of Alternaria spp. isolated from wheat leaves collected in regions where alternaria leaf blight has been reported was compared with that of IMI reference isolates of A. triticina and A. alternata using two durum and two bread wheat genotypes. To identify isolates putatively corresponding to A. triticina , morphological and DNA sequence analyses based on ribosomal DNA from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region (ITS1, 5·8S rRNA gene, ITS2) and toxicity bioassays of culture filtrate were combined. Glasshouse inoculations provided reliable information to assess the pathogenicity of A. triticina isolates on wheat. Alternaria leaf blight symptoms were produced by the A. triticina isolates only on durum wheat cv. Bansi, while A. alternata , A. tenuissima and A. arborescens isolates were found to be nonpathogenic on the wheat cultivars tested. Alternaria triticina isolates were distinguished from other Alternaria species by Simmons and Roberts' sporulation pattern 6 and two to three conidia per sporulation unit associated with primary conidia bearing long (> 7  µ m) apical secondary conidiophores. Phylogenetic analysis also proved effective at discriminating wheat-pathogenic A. triticina from other nonpathogenic Alternaria species. Alternaria triticina isolates yielded longer ITS sequences than A. alternata , A. tenuissima and A. arborescens isolates, leading to clear-cut differences as visualized with agarose gel electrophoresis. Additionally, only culture filtrates of A. triticina isolates caused nonspecific necrotic lesions on leaves of 3-week-old wheat plants.

Models for predicting potential yield loss of wheat caused by stripe rust in the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Climatic variation in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) affects epidemics of wheat stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici. Previous models only estimated disease severity at the flowering stage, which may not predict the actual yield loss. To identify weather factors correlated to stripe rust epidemics and develop models for predicting potential yield loss, correlation and regression analyses were conducted using weather parameters and historical yield loss data from 1993 to 2007 for winter wheat and 1995 to 2007 for spring wheat. Among 1,376 weather variables, 54 were correlated to yield loss of winter wheat and 18 to yield loss of spring wheat. Among the seasons, winter temperature variables were more highly correlated to wheat yield loss than the other seasons. The sum of daily temperatures and accumulated negative degree days of February were more highly correlated to winter wheat yield loss than the other monthly winter variables. In addition, the number of winter rainfall days was found correlated with yield loss. Six yield loss models were selected for each of winter and spring wheats based on their better correlation coefficients, time of weather data availability during the crop season, and better performance in validation tests. Compared with previous models, the new system of using a series of the selected models has advantages that should make it more suitable for forecasting and managing stripe rust in the major wheat growing areas in the U.S. PNW, where the weather conditions have become more favorable to stripe rust.

Boosting silica levels in wheat leaves reduces grazing by rabbits

Systemic application of sodium silicate can significantly enhance the levels of leaf silica in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Mercia), suggesting that this material could reduce the palatability of plants to vertebrate herbivores (e.g. rabbits, Oryctolagus cuniculus L.). A bioassay was developed using hydroponically grown wheat plants. Plants treated with sodium silicate were significantly more resistant to grazing by wild rabbits than untreated plants, with severe, potentially lethal feeding damage being reduced by over 50%. Further studies were carried out to develop more practical techniques for boosting silica levels in plants using silicon-rich 'fertilisers' including calcium silicate and calcium silicate slag (CSS). Silica levels were elevated in the plant 1.9-2.8 times over the control through the application of various silicon materials, in line with those of the hydroponic treatment. Encouragingly, levels of silica were elevated even in young wheat plants, which are most vulnerable to rabbit damage, and in a range of wheat varieties. The use of CSS is particularly promising because of its lower cost in comparison with calcium silicate, and it has a proven track record in slag fertilisation of rice and sugar cane crops. At the optimum CSS application rate of 3 g silicon L(-1) soil, wheat silica levels were approximately doubled, with no detrimental impacts on long-term growth or yield.
