毒源和寄主对褐色桔蚜传播柑桔衰退病毒效率的影响

褐色桔蚜是柑桔衰退病毒(Citrus tristeza virus,CTV)最有效的传播媒介,为了解不同柑桔寄主种类和毒源对褐色桔蚜传播CTV效率的影响,检测在以锦橙、凤凰柚和墨西哥来檬作毒源植株时,褐色桔蚜对10个CTV分离株的单蚜传毒率,以及蚜传前后CTV分离株p25/HinfⅠRFLP组群构成的变化,并对其中5个分离株与2个国外分离株进行了p20和p25基因相应氨基酸序列的比对分析。结果表明:褐色桔蚜传播CTV的能力受柑桔寄主种类的影响较大,以锦橙作毒源植株可以获得最高的传毒率;CTV毒株强弱以及褐色桔蚜虫态(有翅或无翅蚜)对单蚜传毒率影响不明显;褐色桔蚜传播具有p25/HinfⅠRFLP第3组群构成的CTV分离株的能力较强。     

柑橘三种蚜虫取食行为的EPG分析

为探究柑橘3种蚜虫取食行为差异,利用刺吸电位图谱(electrical penetration graph,EPG)技术对褐色橘蚜Toxoptera citricida(Kirkaldy)、棉蚜Aphis gossypii Glover和绣线橘蚜Aphis citricola van der Goot在椪柑上的取食行为进行了测定。结果表明:3种蚜虫均产生8种取食波形,依次为非刺探波(np波)、路径波(A、B、C波)、电位下降波(pd波)、韧皮部分泌唾液波(El波)、韧皮部被动吸食波(E2波)以及木质部主动吸食波(G波)。棉蚜开始取食的第1次刺探时间最早,绣线橘蚜刺探的次数最多,且C波时间最长。褐色橘蚜pd波出现的次数最少,棉蚜次之,绣线橘蚜最多,显著高于褐色橘蚜。与其它2种蚜虫相比,绣线橘蚜于木质部主动吸食汁液(G波)时间最长,有G波的个体比例最高。3种蚜虫E1波次数和总持续时间差异均不显著,但褐色橘蚜E2波的持续时间217.01±27.56 min显著长于棉蚜142.49±27.85 min和绣线橘蚜116.64±20.05 min。初步推断3种蚜虫对柑橘衰退病毒的传毒效率与E2波有关。     

蚜虫传播芜菁花叶病毒和黄瓜花叶病毒 2.以病毒混合物传播

芜菁花叶病毒(TuMV)和黄瓜花叶病毒(CMV)容易由几种蚜虫以口针携时和非持久性方式传播。我们曾描述过TuMV或CMV在桃蚜、棉蚜、甘兰蚜和萝卜蚜上的传播效率和保持期。观察结果表明TuMV由桃蚜和棉蚜传毒效率很高,CMV的棉蚜传播效率高,但很少由桃蚜传播。本文进一步报道蚜虫从TuMV和CMV双重浸染的植株     

我国不同地区麦蚜携带BYDV-GAV比率的差异

为了研究我国不同地区麦蚜携带大麦黄矮病毒麦二叉蚜麦长管蚜非专化性株系(BYDV GAV)比率的差异,采用RT-PCR技术,对BYDV-GAV的传毒介体麦蚜带毒情况进行检测.所用方法具有较高的灵敏度和特异性,测定样本用量可少至1/200头蚜虫;对采自我国主要麦区的蚜虫样本进行分子检测,山西、甘肃、青海、陕西11个小麦黄矮病重病区蚜虫样本带毒率为56％～91.5％,而河北、河南两省4个非重病区蚜虫样本带毒率为2.5％～33％.通过试验证实,我国不同地区麦蚜携带BYDV-GAV比率存在差异,小麦黄矮病重病区山西、甘肃、青海、陕西等地的麦蚜带毒率高,而非重病区河北、河南等地的麦蚜带毒率低.     

4种柑橘衰退病毒源单蚜传毒分离株CP基因的分子特征

 对4种柑橘衰退病毒源及其31个单蚜传毒分离株的CP基因做了限制性片段长度多态性(RFLP)和单链构象多态性(SSCP)分析,并对其中8个单蚜传毒分离株的CP基因进行了序列分析。实验明确了所研究柑橘衰退病毒(Citrus tristeza virus,CTV)的CPG/Hinf I RFLP组群和CPG/SSCP模式,二者能较好地对应并有效验证了单蚜传毒对CTV毒源的分离纯化作用;CP基因序列分析结果表明,相同CPG/Hinf I RFLP组群的单蚜传毒分离株间具有高度的序列相似性,而不同CPG/Hinf I RFLP组群单蚜传毒分离株间则存在较大差异;通过与已知生物学特性CTV分离株比较,初步建立了上述CP基因分子特征与病毒生物学特性之间的联系。     

5%吡虫啉·丁硫克百威乳油对柑橘蚜虫的防治效果

<正>蚜虫是为害柑橘新梢的主要害虫,主要种类有橘蚜、橘二叉蚜、桃蚜和棉蚜等。成虫和若虫群集在柑橘的芽、嫩梢、嫩叶、花蕾和幼果上吸食汁液为害,造成叶片卷曲,新梢枯死,落花落果。为了控制柑橘蚜虫的为害,笔者引进了青岛海纳     

基于EPG分析无翅型和有翅型柑橘蚜虫的取食行为

为明确无翅型、有翅型柑橘蚜虫取食行为的差异,采用EPG技术对褐色橘蚜Toxoptera citricida(Kirkaldy)和棉蚜Aphis gossypii Glover的有翅型、无翅型成蚜在柑橘苗上的取食行为进行测定。结果表明,褐色橘蚜无翅型和有翅型的EPG均记录到7种取食波形,依次为非刺探波np、路径波A、B和C、电位下降波pd、韧皮部取食波E1和E2;棉蚜无翅型和有翅型的EPG记录到9种取食波形,除上述7种外,还包括木质部主动吸食波G和口针阻碍波F。褐色橘蚜有翅型和无翅型的np波持续时间为25.73 min和8.39 min,二者间差异显著;棉蚜有翅型的np波持续时间、刺探次数、C波次数分别为27.34 min、19.16次、20.21次,显著高于无翅型,而刺探总持续时间为332.66 min,显著低于无翅型。棉蚜的C波次数及总持续时间、刺探次数、pd波次数及总持续时间均显著高于褐色橘蚜,而E2波总持续时间及平均持续时间均显著小于褐色橘蚜。表明棉蚜无翅型比有翅型在柑橘上更容易取食,影响有翅型蚜虫取食的抗性因子可能位于柑橘表面;褐色橘蚜比棉蚜对柑橘的适应性更强。     

山西省蚜虫消长与玉米矮花叶病流行关系

玉米矮花叶病是非持久性病毒——MDMV 引起。病毒介体是蚜虫,在山西省主要是麦二叉蚜(Schizaphis graminum Rond)、禾缢管蚜(Rhopalo-siphum padi Linnaeus)、玉米蚜(Rhopalosiphum maidis Fitch)、桃蚜(Myzus persicae Sulzer)和棉蚜(Aphis gossypii Glover),麦无网长管蚜[Acythosiphum dirhodum(Walker)]的传毒能力未定。实验表明,传毒蚜虫饲毒最适时间5～30分钟,接毒最适时间30～60分钟,持毒期限6～7小时,有效传毒蚜数3～5头。气温20℃麦二叉蚜的传毒效能最高,是春播玉米的主要传毒蚜虫。传毒蚜的高峰期后16～30天是发病高峰,以玉米拔节至孕穗间发病最快,抽雄后渐缓。病害的发生流行取决于毒源量、传毒蚜的虫口密度及其自然带毒率的提高,这过程进展的快慢是受时间和空间的影响。     

小麦拟黄叶病症状和介体蚜虫传毒的初步研究

小麦拟黄叶病(WYLV)是黄淮流域近年小麦上发生的一种新病毒病。经传毒试验结果初步明确症状和传毒介体蚜虫种类。叶片初发病上半部退缘发白;后变为全叶退缘黄化,叶鞘顶端同时略变褐色。以多种介体蚜虫传播。以麦二叉蚜和禾谷缢蚜传毒力最强,麦长管蚜次之,而麦无网蚜和玉米叶蚜仅有时轻微传播。     

瓜蚜在西葫芦植株上传播获取西瓜花叶病毒的效率及西瓜花叶病毒病的发生规律

为明确瓜蚜Aphis gossypii Glover成蚜对西瓜花叶病毒(Watermelon mosaic virus,WMV)的传毒特征,应用RT-PCR技术检测了瓜蚜传播获取WMV的效率及其在成蚜体内的存留时间;同时调查了2015年山东省日光温室西葫芦瓜蚜种群动态与西瓜花叶病毒病的发生规律。结果表明,瓜蚜成蚜离开带毒西葫芦植株0 h后,带毒率为35.00%,3 h后成蚜带毒率随时间的延长开始呈下降趋势,24 h后仅为5.40%。26℃条件下,健康瓜蚜取食带毒植株5 min后即可获毒,0.5 h后获毒率达到62.50%;带毒瓜蚜取食健康植株0.5 h后植株即可带毒,24 h后植株带毒率达到94.44%。温度对瓜蚜成蚜的传毒率有一定影响,在21、26、31℃条件下,瓜蚜成蚜24 h传毒率分别为61.11%、94.44%和88.89%。调查发现,温室西瓜花叶病毒病的发生率与瓜蚜种群数量呈正相关,当温室瓜蚜成蚜种群数量为1.06～1.73头/叶时,西葫芦开始发病,当成蚜数量增至18.22头/叶时,全田发病率可达83.33%。表明瓜蚜成蚜具有较强的传播WMV的能力,有效控制瓜蚜发生对减少WMV的扩散具有重要意义。     

Stability of the aphid transmission phenotype in cucumber mosaic virus

The stability of the aphid transmission phenotype in seven field isolates of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was studied, using aphids Aphis gossypii and Myzus persicae . Field isolates, obtained from four vegetable crops, were propagated in squash and Nicotiana glutinosa , and passaged by either aphid transmission or mechanical transfer. All seven isolates were transmissible by both aphids and this aphid transmission phenotype was stable after 20–24 mechanical passages. Upon further mechanical passaging, one of the seven isolates, CMV-2 A1-MT 60x, lost its transmissibility by Myzus persicae but was still transmissible by Aphis gossypii , although at a reduced rate. Isolates maintained by both aphid transmission and mechanical transfer were transmitted more efficiently by Aphis gossypii than by Myzus persicae . A comparison of the RNA profiles showed no major differences among the CMV isolates before and after mechanical passage.     

Evidence for resistance to Citrus tristeza virus in pomelo (Citrus maxima Merr.) grown in Darjeeling and Sikkim hills of India

Darjeeling and Sikkim hills of India are well known for production of mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata). The recent spread of Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) has threatened the citrus cultivation in this region. During a survey in Darjeeling and Sikkim hills, pomelo trees were recorded as CTV free. Since pomelo trees did not show any disease appearance, a study was undertaken to ascertain whether they are resistant to CTV infection or resistant to aphid feeding or both. Toxoptera citricida, the most efficient aphid vector and which is abundantly present in this region, did not feed on pomelo when other Citrus species such as mandarin, kagzi lime and rough lemon were available. Additionally, CTV isolates of Darjeeling and Sikkim hills were not transmissible to pomelo either by T. citricida or grafting. We report for the first time that pomelo is resistant to isolates of CTV present in this region.     

Comparison of the minor coat protein gene sequences of aphid-transmissible and -nontransmissible isolates of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Citrus tristeza virus</Emphasis>

The nucleotide sequences for the minor coat protein (CPm) gene and its deduced amino acid sequences for two aphid-transmissible and two nontransmissible isolates of Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) from symptomless orchard trees of Miyagawa satsuma [Citrus unshiu (Macf.) Marc.] on trifoliate orange [Poncirus trifoliate (L.) Raf.] and declining Washington navel [C. sinensis (L.) Osb.] trees on sour orange (C. aurantium L.) rootstocks were analyzed and compared with those of highly transmissible CTV strains available in GenBank. The isolates produced severe symptoms on indicator plants and their aphid transmissibility was assayed through acquisition by A. gossypii of CTV and subsequent inoculation feeding on young Mexican lime seedlings. The CPm gene nucleotides and coded amino acid sequences were very similar among the nontransmissible isolates and among the transmissible. Five of 73 nucleotide substitutions that existed between CPm gene nucleotide sequence of nontransmissible and transmissible isolates caused changes in the deduced amino acid sequences of the nontransmissible isolates. Two nucleotide substitutions yielded new amino acids with similar properties. However, the three remaining mutations led to substitution of new amino acids with a different charge and polarity at positions 14, 238 and 239. The last two mutations occurred at the C-terminal region of the CPm, which is implicated in the formation of a salt bridge that helps to maintain the protein’s tertiary structure. Amino acid substitutions can affect aphid transmission efficiency by altering the conformation of the proteins or masking motifs involved in the interaction between CPm and aphid stylets.     

Investigation of biological properties, double-stranded RNA patterns and antigen concentration in citrus species infected with citrus tristeza virus

Biological properties and dsRNA patterns of one Cyprus and three Turkish isolates of citrus tristeza virus (CTV) were investigated. In addition, CTV antigen concentration and effect of tissue sampling time from naturally infected Shamouti sweet orange trees grown in the field of Icel Province, Turkey, were also determined. The Cyprus isolate showed vein clearing symptoms on grapefruit, ‘Madam Vinous’ and Mexican lime and stem pitting symptoms on Mexican lime. The three Turkish isolates showed only vein clearing symptoms on Mexican lime. All four isolates showed a full-length major double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) band of 13.3 × 10⁶ Da mol. wt in extracts from infected Madam Vinous sweet orange trees, and major or minor dsRNA bands with 2.0. 0.8 and 0.5 × 10⁶ mol.wt. All seven different citrus varieties inoculated with the Igdir (D) strain contained full-length dsRNA. The additional two dsRNA of 0.8 and 0.5 × 10⁶ mol.wt were also detected as clearly as full-length dsRNA in these hosts, but were weaker inCitrus exelsa and ‘Interdonat’ lemon. Madam Vinous, rough lemon and Mexican lime were the best hosts for dsRNA analysis. ELISA values were highest in April (OD_405nm =0.476), decreased steadily until August, and then increased gradually through December. ELISA values were lowest in July and August (OD_405nm =0.157 and 0.141, respectively). dsRNA recovery from a field tree infected with isolate Igdir D was good in March, April and May and poor in January and February. No dsRNA band was detected in August or September. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting July 9, 2002.     

Selective transmission of the seedling yellows-type genotypic variants of Citrus tristeza virus by Aphis gossypii in northern Iran

Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) has existed in northern Iran for more than five decades. The long-time interaction of different virus genotypes with Aphis gossypii, as the only aphid vector of CTV in northern Iran, has led to the emergence of highly virulent subpopulations, among others, in the established foci. Here, we studied the population structure of the originally established CTV isolates present in Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu) trees imported from Japan, and subisolates thereof, formed following experimental transmission by A. gossypii, as well as those evolved through natural transmission by this aphid species in the groves. Symptoms of the naturally spread and the experimentally aphid-transmitted isolates were similar to those of the Satsuma CTV source isolates for all indicator plants except for sour orange (Citrus aurantium) and grapefruit (Citrus paradisi), with the aphid-transmitted isolates additionally inducing severe seedling yellows and stunting in these two indicators. Studies on the population heterogeneity of these isolates through comparison of their single-strand conformational polymorphism profiles and nucleotide sequences of the 25 kDa capsid protein gene from the predominant haplotypes, and dot-blot hybridization signals, revealed the presence of two major T36- and SY568- (or NUagA-) like genotypes along with a minor poorly characterized one in the originally infected Satsuma trees; in contrast, only a certain genomic variant having the highest similarity to the isolate SY568 (and NUagA) was predominant both in the naturally infected trees and in those infected experimentally by A. gossypii. It seems that transmission by A. gossypii to sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) has led to the preponderance of the CTV genomic variants inducing severe seedling yellows in northern Iran.     

Spatiotemporal dynamics of Citrus tristeza virus in Cuba

The spatiotemporal dissemination of Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) was evaluated by DASI-ELISA in orange and grapefruit fields of six citrus producing regions in Cuba, and aphid populations were evaluated in two selected areas. The aphid species found in these areas were Toxoptera citricida (the most efficient vector of CTV), T. aurantii and Aphis spiraecola . A logistic model was the most appropriate to explain the temporal increase in the proportion of CTV-infected plants for almost all the fields. Although nearly all areas showed an increase in this proportion, there were regions of low CTV spread, which was slower in grapefruit than in orange fields. 2DCORR analysis indicated spatial dependence among immediately adjacent trees, higher in the within-row direction than in the across-row direction. Aggregation was also detected by dispersion index and binary power law fitting within quadrats of all sizes. For most fields, autocorrelation analysis showed a significant edge effect and spatial dependence among infected plants of different sub-areas. Based on these results a new tristeza management strategy was proposed for each region of the country.
