云南籼稻主栽品种对白背飞虱的抗性筛选

为明确云南籼稻主栽品种对白背飞虱Sogatella furcifera(Horváth)的抗虫性及其影响产量的水稻关键生育期,为抗虫品种选育和推广提供参考依据,本文利用苗期和分蘖盛期单株接虫鉴定、成株期(移栽期—乳熟期)田间自然种群发生鉴定等方法,测定了云南籼稻区31个水稻主栽品种对白背飞虱的抗虫性及其产量。结果表明,苗期有7个品种表现高抗,23个品种表现中抗—中感,1个品种表现高感;分蘖期有20个品种表现高抗,有11个表现中抗—中感;成株期田间自然种群鉴定,31个品种成株期白背飞虱田间自然种群的累计虫量都超过了对照品种TN1,均表现为感虫。单株接虫鉴定多数品种表现抗虫,而大田期自然种群鉴定则全部表现为感虫,一定程度说明了云南籼稻区主栽品种对白背飞虱具有耐害性而无抗生性。移栽期、孕穗期、抽穗期百丛虫量与有效穗数呈显著的负相关性;移栽期、孕穗期和抽穗期的百丛虫量是造成有效穗数少和产量低的关键因子。移栽期、孕穗期和抽穗期是防治白背飞虱的关键时期。

Identification of a new resistance gene to a chinese blast fungus isolate in the Japanese rice cultivar aichi asahi

ABSTRACT Genetic analysis of the rice cultivar Aichi Asahi and some other Japanese cultivars for the high resistance to the blast fungus isolate CHNOS58-3-1 from China was performed. All the Japanese differential cultivars were resistant to the isolate except for 'Pi No. 4', which showed moderate resistance. Analysis of the F(2) population of a cross of the susceptible cultivar Reiho and the resistant cultivar Aichi Asahi indicated that the resistance of 'Aichi Asahi' to the isolate was conferred by one dominant gene. To identify the gene in other Japanese differential cultivars, AK lines, which were derived from a cross of 'Aichi Asahi' x 'K59' and assumed to harbor no known genes except for the new one, were used for the allelism tests. The new, completely dominant resistance gene was detected in 14 differential cultivars, but not in 'Pi No. 4', 'Yashiro-mochi', and 'K1', and was designated as Pi19(t). Pi19(t) was allelic or closely linked to Pita(2) on chromosome 12. Pi19(t) was extensively distributed among Japanese traditional local cultivars.     

Evaluation of Olive Cultivars for Resistance to Verticillium dahliae

Resistance of 23 important olive cultivars to Verticillium dahliae has been evaluated in four experiments under controlled conditions. Nine-month-old nursery olive plants were inoculated with a cotton non-defoliating (ND) (V4) or a cotton defoliating (D) (V117) isolate of V. dahliae. Resistance was evaluated by assessing symptom severity using a 0–4 rating scale and estimating the area under disease progress curves. The percentage of plants killed and of those which recovered from the disease were used as additional parameters for including a particular cultivar into a defined category. Most of the evaluated cultivars were susceptible, although at different levels, to both isolates of V. dahliae. All cultivars were more susceptible to the D pathotype than to the ND one. A group of 11 cultivars, including several important Spanish cultivars, were susceptible or extremely susceptible to both pathotypes of V. dahliae. A second group showed differences of resistance depending on the pathotype used. They were susceptible or extremely susceptible to the D pathotype but resistant or moderately susceptible to the ND one. Finally, 'Frantoio', 'Oblonga' and 'Empeltre' were moderately susceptible to the D isolate of V. dahliae and resistant to the ND one. The resistance of 'Empeltre' was evident by the plant ability to recover from infection with either isolates. 'Empeltre' is considered to be a valuable cultivar for inclusion in breeding programmes for resistance to Verticillium wilt.     

Susceptibility of Broccoli Cultivars to Bacterial Head Rot: In Vitro Screening and the Role of Head Morphology in Resistance

Head rot is a major disease of broccoli caused by the soft rot pathogens Pseudomonas fluorescens and Erwinia carotovora. Two in vitro pathogenicity tests were evaluated as a methods to identify broccoli cultivars susceptible or resistant to bacterial head rot. One test used mature heads excised from the plant and inoculated with squares of cotton lint which had been soaked in a bacterial suspension. The other test involved stab-inoculating axenically grown seedlings. With the excised head test, susceptible cultivars showed a black soft rot, whilst less susceptible or moderately resistant cultivars showed only watersoaking, or browning and slight softening of the tissue. No cultivar was completely resistant. Ten cultivars were tested, and their susceptibility ratings corresponded with previously recorded field data, with one exception. This laboratory test could be used to screen for susceptibility to head rot in broccoli breeding programmes. The seedling test distinguished differences in aggressiveness among bacterial isolates but not cultivar susceptibility. Increasing head size correlated negatively with disease resistance. Head shape, i.e. cultivars which showed a domed shape rather than a flat shape, was positively correlated with disease resistance. Thus small domed heads are more resistant to head rot than large flat heads. Other morphological characteristics, viz. floret prominence and number, and sepal stomatal number were not correlated with host resistance.     

Screening tomato and cucurbit rootstocks for resistance to Verticillium dahliae*

Seedlings of tomato (19) and cucurbits (33), previously selected as rootstocks for commercial cultivars, were evaluated for their resistance to verticillium wilt under glasshouse conditions. Disease scoring was based on foliar symptoms, but in plants with no visual or ambiguous symptoms the presence of the pathogen was confirmed by isolations or PCR using specific DNA primers. Five of the cucurbit rootstocks showed resistance to infection, 11 were moderately infected, 11 were susceptible, while the remaining six were very susceptible. In general, Cucurbita pepo (courgette, pumpkin) and Lagenaria siceraria tolerated infection, Cucumis melo rootstocks were susceptible and Citrullus vulgaris was the most susceptible. When inoculated with race 1 of the pathogen, one of the tomato rootstocks was very resistant, three moderately resistant, nine tolerant, ten susceptible and one very susceptible. Pathogenicity tests with race 2 showed that none of the rootstocks exhibited high tolerance, but that there was some variation in susceptibility. Research is under way to evaluate the reaction of commercial cultivars to verticillium wilt when grafted onto resistant rootstocks.

Nucleocapsid Gene-Mediated Transgenic Resistance Provides Protection Against Tomato spotted wilt virus Epidemics in the Field

ABSTRACT Transformation of plants with the nucleocapsid (N) gene of Tomato spotted wilt tospovirus (TSWV) provides resistance to disease development; however, information is lacking on the response of plants to natural inoculum in the field. Three tobacco cultivars were transformed with the N gene of a dahlia isolate of TSWV (TSWV-D), and plants were evaluated over several generations in the greenhouse. The resistant phenotype was more frequently observed in 'Burley 21' than in 'KY-14' or 'K-326', but highly resistant 'Burley 21' transgenic lines were resistant to only 44% of the heterologous TSWV isolates tested. Advanced generation (R(3) and R(4)) transgenic resistant lines of 'Burley 21' and a 'K-326' F(1) hybrid containing the N genes of two TSWV isolates were evaluated in the field near Tifton, GA, where TSWV is endemic. Disease development was monitored by symptom expression and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis. Whereas incidence of TSWV infection in 'Burley 21' susceptible controls was 20% in 1996 and 62% in 1997, the mean incidence in transgenic lines was reduced to 4 and 31%, respectively. Three transgenic 'Burley 21' lines were identified that had significantly lower incidence of disease than susceptible controls over the two years of the study. In addition, the rate of disease increase at the onset of the 1997 epidemic was reduced for all the 'Burley 21' transgenic lines compared with the susceptible controls. The 'K-326' F(1) hybrid was as susceptible as the 'K-326' nontransformed control. ELISA analysis demonstrated that symptomless plants from the most resistant 'Burley 21' transgenic lines accumulated detectable nucleocapsid protein, whereas symptomless plants from more susceptible lines did not. We conclude that transgenic resistance to TSWV is effective in reducing incidence of the disease in the field, and that accumulation of transgene protein may be important in broad-spectrum resistance.     

Responses of cucumber cultivars to induction of systemic resistance against anthracnose by plant growth promoting fungi

Initial experiment on the reactions of five Japanese cultivars of cucumber toColletotrichum orbiculare infection in the greenhouse revealed that cv Suyo and Gibai were susceptible and moderately susceptible, respectively, while cv Shogoin fushinari and Sagami hanjiro were resistant to infection byC. orbiculare; cv Ochiai fushinari was moderately resistant. The ability of 16 plant growth promoting fungi (some isolates belonged to species ofPhoma and some non-sporulating isolates) isolated from zoysiagrass rhizospheres to induce systemic resistance in the above five cucumber cultivars was tested by growing plants in potting medium infested with barley grain inocula of PGPF in the greenhouse. The second true leaves of 21-day-old plants were challenge inoculated withC. orbiculare and disease assessed. Nine, out of 16 isolates, caused significant reduction of disease caused byC. orbiculare in at least two cultivars.Phoma isolates (GS8-1 and GS8-2) and non-sporulating isolates (GU21-2, GU23-3, and GU24-3) significantly reduced the disease in all the five cultivars. The disease suppression in cucumber was due to the induction of systemic resistance, since the inducer(s) and the pathogen were separated spatially and that the inducer did not colonize aerial portions. The resistance induced by certain isolates in a susceptible cultivar was less than that in a resistant cultivar. Disease suppression caused by isolate GU21-2 was similar to theC. orbiculare induced control in certain cultivars. The average rate of expansion of lesion diameter on leaves due toC. orbiculare was slower due to induction with the selected plant growth promoting fungi compared to the uninduced control plants. Roots of four cultivars were colonized by only three isolates, however, roots of one cultivar (Suyo) was colonized by five isolates suggesting the cultivar-specific root colonization ability.Abbreviations cv cultivar(s) - PGPF plant growth promoting fungal isolates - PGPR plant growth promoting rhizobacteria     

Mechanisms of date palm resistance to Bayoud disease: Current state of knowledge and research prospects

The Bayoud disease, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis (Foa), represents a major limiting factor of date palm culture in Morocco and constitutes a serious threat to the date palm plantations in Algeria and all other countries. Efficient disease prevention requires the development of resistant cultivars. In Morocco, among the cultivars listed, only six appear to be resistant to Bayoud disease, but they produce poor quality fruit. Thus, the Moroccan program of date palm genetic improvement is based on directed crossing between resistant cultivars and susceptible cultivars with good date quality traits to select resistant genotypes producing high quality fruits. In addition to the separation of the resistance to Bayoud disease and quality of the fruits characters, this breeding program is really complex due to the sex separation in the date palm, the duration of juvenile phase which is very long, and the lifespan of the date palm which requires a durable polygenic resistance. Then, the selected genotypes must be of female sex, of good date quality, and possess effective defense mechanisms against the pathogen. Moreover, the selection of the date palm resistance must necessarily take into account the mechanisms of pathogen aggressiveness. In this review, we will present and discuss studies developed on the Bayoud disease of the date palm, particularly on the disease control, the biochemical and molecular markers of resistance, the program of date palm genetic improvement of resistance, the Foa pathogenicity factors, and host defense mechanisms. It will also highlight the recent studies that showed that differential behaviour of the resistant and susceptible cultivars was not related to a difference of induction of the defense mechanisms, but to the suppression of their elicitation in the susceptible cultivars.     

Histopathological aspects of mango resistance to the infection process of Ceratocystis fimbriata

Mango wilt, caused by Ceratocystis fimbriata, is one of the most important diseases affecting mango yields in Brazil. Information regarding the infection process of C. fimbriata in the stem tissues of mango from different cultivars and the basis of host resistance to the pathogen is rare in the literature. Thus, the objective of the study was to investigate how infection by two isolates of C. fimbriata can be affected by mango cultivar‐specific mechanisms of resistance. Disease progress on the inoculated stem tissues of the mango cultivars was evaluated and stem sections were obtained from the site of inoculation and prepared for histopathological observations using light microscopy. The factors mango cultivars and C. fimbriata isolates and their interaction were significant for all measures of disease development. Plants from the cultivars Espada, Haden and Palmer inoculated with isolates of C. fimbriata were more susceptible, whereas plants from the cultivars Tommy and Ubá were moderately resistant and resistant, respectively. Histopathologically, fungal isolates apparently massively colonized the stem tissues of plants from the susceptible cultivars Espada, Haden and Palmer, starting from the collenchyma and moving in the direction of the cortical parenchyma, xylem vessels and pith parenchyma. By contrast, on stem tissues of plants from the resistant cultivars Tommy Atkins and Ubá, most of the cells reacted to C. fimbriata infection by accumulating amorphous material. The results from the present study strongly indicated the importance of phenolic compounds for mango cultivar resistance against infection by Brazilian C. fimbriata isolates.     

Regulation of defense-related enzymes associated with bacterial spot resistance in Tomato

Twenty tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) cultivars were screened for resistance against bacterial spot disease incited byXanthomonas axonopodis pv.vesicatoria under field conditions with and without pathogen infection. Screening was done by artificially inoculating aX. axonopodis pv.vesicatoria suspension to 4-week-old tomato seedlings and observing them for typical symptoms of the disease. Seedlings were categorized into highly resistant, resistant, susceptible and highly susceptible cultivars on the basis of disease incidence. Tomato cultivars were screened for defense-related enzymes, total phenols and lignin contents. The temporal patterns of all these enzymes were estimated with a moderately susceptible tomato cultivar. Native PAGE analysis of both peroxidase (POX) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was carried out for the time course of enzyme activities and also by selecting three different tomato cultivars, following infection with the pathogen. Based on the inducible amounts of these enzymes upon pathogen infection, the tomato cultivars were correlated with the disease incidence under field conditions. A significant (P≤0.05) correlation was observed between the degree of host resistance and the enzyme levels. In highly resistant tomato cultivars the enzyme levels, total phenols and lignin contents were increased in comparison with highly susceptible tomato cultivars. Isoform analysis of POX and PPO enzymes indicated a clear difference between resistant and susceptible tomato cultivars in the number of isoforms and also in the intensity of each isoform in the presence of pathogen infection. The possible regulation of defense-related enzymes in imparting host resistance is discussed. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting March 11, 2008.     

Bacterial wilt resistance in tomato associated with tolerance of vascular tissues to Pseudomonas solanacearum

High populations of Pseudomonas solanacearum were detected in some, but not all stems of bacterial wilt resistant ('CRA 66', 'Hawaii 7996' and 'Caraibo') and susceptible ('Floradel') tomatoes. Latent infection, i.e. spread of P. solanacearum into xylem vessels, was confirmed in Caraibo, Hawaii 7996 and 'CRA 66' (the resistant parent of Caraibo). None of the plants within the resistant cultivars wilted and those cultivars were characterized by tolerance of the vascular tissues to high bacterial densities. In contrast, plants of cultivar Floradel showed consistent symptoms and wilted rapidly, with higher mean bacterial density than resistant cultivars. Bacterial wilt resistance was not associated with resistance to bacterial root invasion but with the capability of the plant to limit P. solanacearum colonization in the stem. The extent of bacterial colonization is proposed as a criterion to quantify tolerance, complementary to absence of external wilt symptoms used in breeding programmes for resistance.     

The expression of partial resistance to Erysiphe graminis in spring barley

The development of powdery mildew on five barley varieties selected for partial resistance in the field and lacking identifiable, effective race-specific resistance factors was examined. Inoculation tests demonstrated that a reduction in the number of colonies was a major component of this resistance. Microscopic examination of segments from the fourth and fifth leaf revealed several stages at which colony development was arrested. The failure of individual penetrations to establish compatible colony growth was classified as being due either to hypersensitive or to non-hypersensitive resistance in host epidermal cells. Varying proportions of these two types of resistance mechanism were evident in all varieties examined, including the susceptible controls. In four resistant varieties, one or other mechanism predominated. The possibility of enhancing partial resistance by combining sources in which different mechanisms operate is discussed.

Effect of growth stages of chickpea on the genetic resistance of Ascochyta blight

Ascochyta blight (AB, Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab.) is one of the most important foliar disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), globally. Chickpea is attacked by AB at any growth stage in cool and humid weather depending on the inoculum availability. However, the disease epidemics are most prominent during the flowering and podding growth stages. The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of growth stages of chickpea on the genetic resistance of AB and use this information in a resistance breeding program. Two susceptible and two moderately resistant chickpea cultivars were spray inoculated at seedling (GS1), post-seedling (GS2), vegetative (GS3), flowering (GS4) and podding (GS5) growth stages with A. rabiei conidial suspension under controlled environment conditions. Irrespective of crop cultivars the incubation period (IP) was shorter in GS1, GS4 and GS5 and was significantly extended in GS2 and GS3. Symptom development was delayed significantly in moderately resistant cultivars. The AB severity 10 days after inoculation ranged between 7 and 9 on susceptible cultivars and 3 and 5 on moderately resistant cultivars. Further the correlation coefficient of disease severity between GS1, GS4 and GS5 was highly significant (r = 0.95) indicating that, evaluation for resistance to AB can be done at GS 1 (seedling stage), and or GS4 (flowering stage) to GS5 (podding stage) growth stages of chickpea. This supports the evaluation for AB resistance using 10-day-old-seedlings in controlled environment at ICRISAT and adult plant field screening at hot-spot locations in Dhaulakuan and Ludhiana in India.
