Botrytis allii colonies incubated at low temperatures have been reported to produce larger conidia that germinate faster and give rise to longer germ-tubes than those grown at room temperature. The present study compared the effect of conidia produced at 20°C and at 0 and –2°C on their pathogenicity to artificially inoculated white onion bulbs, and the effect of conidial concentration (5×103 and 5×104 conidia/mL) on disease incidence, lesion area, incubation and latent period during storage at 20, 5 and 0°C. At all storage temperatures and periods tested conidia produced at −2°C caused a higher disease incidence and larger areas of rot than those produced at higher temperatures. When the conidial production temperature was raised to 20°C, the duration of incubation on the bulbs inoculated with 5×104 conidia/mL was more than doubled during storage at 0°C, tripled at 5°C, and took 50% longer at 20°C. The incubation period was not significantly affected by conidial concentration at 20°C, and only slightly at 5 and 0°C, but at low temperatures the latent period was longer because of the delay induced in sporulation. These data are consistent with the packers' opinion that cross-infection of spring onions by long-term refrigerated onions in grading lines caused earlier and heavier rotting.  相似文献

The effects of different levels of inoculum of Aspergillus carbonarius and time of inoculation on berry infection and the development of aspergillus bunch rot on grapevines (cv. Sultana) were studied under field conditions. Inflorescences at full bloom were inoculated with aqueous spore suspensions of A. carbonarius containing 0 or 1 × 106 spores mL−1 in 2004/05 and 0, 1 × 102 or 1 × 105 spores mL−1 in 2005/06. In both years, the incidence of infection in inoculated berries was significantly higher than in uninoculated berries. Incidence of infection in berries from veraison until harvest was higher than at earlier stages of bunch development (berry set to berries that were still hard and green). Inoculation of bunches at veraison did not significantly increase A. carbonarius infection prior to harvest, at harvest, 6 days after harvest or when berries were over-ripe. Bunches inoculated at harvest did not significantly increase infection 6 days after harvest or when berries were over-ripe. Aspergillus carbonarius was isolated more frequently from the pedicel end (53·1%) than from the middle section (37·5%) and distal end (35·0%) of berries that were inoculated with 105 spores mL−1.  相似文献

The present study assayed the effect of six isothiocyanates (ITCs), produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis of glucosinolates, on fungal pathogens of pear. Sample pear fruits were artificially inoculated through induced wounds with conidial suspensions of Botrytis cinerea Rhizopus stolonifer Monilinia laxa Mucor piriformis or Penicillium expansum and were then treated with ITCs. Of the six ITCs tested, the ITC from glucoraphenin showed the highest effectiveness after 6 days at 20°C, against M. laxa B. cinerea and M. piriformis . The effectiveness of the ITC from glucoraphenin against M. laxa was assayed in two further trials to test the effect of ITC concentration on different concentrations of inoculum and to determine the duration of the curative effect of this ITC. ITC concentration directly affected fungus control capacity. The highest ITC concentration (3.6 mg mL−1) afforded pathogen control at the highest level of pathogen concentration (106 conidia mL−1) after 6 days at 20°C. Its curative effect was evident up to 40 h after inoculation.  相似文献

Pseudomonas putida 40RNF applied to seed pellets reduced the occurrence of Pythium damping-off of sugar beet. A density of 6 × 107 40RNF per pellet reduced Pythium damping-off from 70 to 26% when seeds were sown in artificially infested soil (250 propagules Pythium ultimum per g dry soil). The efficacy of 40RNF was dependent on its density in the seed pellet (in the range 2 × 104–6 × 108 per pellet) and on the number of propagules of Pythium in soil. 40RNF declined to or stabilized at approximately 1 × 106 per pellet 3 days after planting, and this was independent of the inoculum density. This indicated that the crucial steps resulting in damping-off of sugar beet caused by Pythium ultimum must occur within 3–4 days of sowing. 40RNF reduced pericarp colonization by P. ultimum by 43% 48 h after planting and caused a 68% decrease in the number of sporangia of P. ultimum in the surrounding soil (0.0–5.0 mm). P. putida 40RNF also reduced pre and post-emergence damping-off (from 69.5 to 37.5%) caused by indigenous populations of Pythium species in an infested soil and this was as effective as the fungicide hymexazol (69.5 to 40%).  相似文献

Factors affecting the production of conidia of Peronosclerospora sorghi , causing sorghum downy mildew (SDM), were investigated during 1993 and 1994 in Zimbabwe. In the field conidia were detected on nights when the minimum temperature was in the range 10–19°C. On 73% of nights when conidia were detected rain had fallen within the previous 72 h and on 64% of nights wind speed was < 2.0 m s−1. The time period over which conidia were detected was 2–9 h. Using incubated leaf material, conidia were produced in the temperature range 10–26°C. Local lesions and systemically infected leaf material produced 2.4–5.7 × 103 conidia per cm2. Under controlled conditions conidia were released from conidiophores for 2.5 h after maturation and were shown to be well adapted to wind dispersal, having a settling velocity of 1.5 × 10−4 m s−1. Conditions that are suitable for conidia production occur in Zimbabwe and other semi-arid regions of southern Africa during the cropping season.  相似文献

The height of barley stunted by Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group 8 was significantly increased by up to 72·8% after incubation for 8 days at 20°C in seedling tray tests following application of the mycoparasite Verticillium biguttatum. The pathogen and mycoparasite were applied at the rate of 1% Perlite maizemeal inoculum (w/w potting mixture) resulting in propagule densities of approximately 24·0 and 6·6 × 105 colony-forming units (cfu) per g potting mixture, respectively. Sieving (2 mm) R. solani inoculum prior to dilution in potting mixture increased the recovery of propagules from 1·2 × 2·1 × 103 cfu per g inoculum compared with recovery when inoculum was sieved after dilution. Applications of a V. biguttatum isolate from the UK (vbl) and a Dutch isolate (M73) reduced stunting to a similar extent but did not stimulate the growth of healthy plants. The height of stunted plants was significantly increased after application of V. biguttatum inoculum after 6 days if inoculated trays were preincubated for 1 day prior to planting but a similar increase was only detected after 7 days if seeds were planted immediately. The number of stunted plants which emerged after 4 days was significantly increased by treatment with V. biguttatum but preincubation had no additional effect. These results suggested that control of R. solani was effected both before and after the initiation of disease.  相似文献

Methods to assess light leaf spot ( Pyrenopeziza brassicae ) on winter oilseed rape cultivars were compared in laboratory, controlled-environment and field experiments. In controlled-environment experiments with seedling leaves inoculated at GS 1,4, the greatest differences in percentage area affected by P. brassicae sporulation were observed with inoculum concentrations of 4 × 103 or 4 × 104 spores mL−1, rather than 4 × 102 or 4 × 105 spores mL−1, but older leaves had begun to senesce before assessment, particularly where they were severely affected by P. brassicae . In winter oilseed rape field experiments, a severe light leaf spot epidemic developed in 2002/03 (inoculated, September/October rainfall 127·2 mm) but not in 2003/04 (uninoculated, September/October rainfall 40·7 mm). In-plot assessments discriminated between cultivars best in February/March in 2003 and June in 2004, but sometimes failed to detect plots with many infected plants (e.g. March/April 2004). Ranking of cultivar resistance differed between seedling experiments done under controlled-environment conditions and field experiments. The sensitivity of detection of P. brassicae DNA extracted from culture was greater using the PCR primer pair PbITSF/PbITSR than using primers Pb1/Pb2. P. brassicae was detected by PCR (PbITS primers) in leaves from controlled-environment experiments immediately and up to 14 days after inoculation, and in leaves sampled from field experiments 2 months before detection by visual assessment.  相似文献

Root systems of tobacco dipped in suspensions containing 2 × 109 colony forming units (CFU)/ml of avirulent bacteriocin-producing strains (ABPS) of Pseudomonas solanacearum and assayed immediately after planting in steam-sterilized soil had 8 × 106 CFU/root system of ABPS. The bacterial population declined to an average of 5·3 × 105 CFU/root system after 30 days. Roots of seedlings dipped in bacterial suspensions of ABPS were more effectively protected against wilt caused by P. solanacearum than those dipped in suspensions of an avirulent nonbacteriocin-producing strain (ANBPS). Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from one ABPS (121) inhibited the attachment of bacteria on roots by 70% but had no effect on the reduction of wilt, whereas bacterial cells significantly reduced the disease severity as compared to LPS or water treatment. In steam-sterilized soil containing a 1:1 mixture (5 × 105 CFU/g of oven-dried soil) of ABPS 121 or 237 and the virulent strain K-60, ABPS 121 reduced multiplication of the virulent strain in soil and in the rhizosphere of seedlings. When roots of seedlings were dipped in a suspension of 2 × 109 CFU/ml of ABPS before planting, root colonization by the virulent strain added to steam-sterilized soil at 2 × 106 CFU/g of oven-dried soil was significantly reduced. When roots were dipped in a suspension of ABPS and assayed 20 days after planting, 98% of the bacterial population was found in the original zone of inoculation and only 2% was detected in new growths of the root system. Plants which were grown in soil infested with ABPS 121 or K-60 had both strains present at variable populations along all sections of roots.  相似文献

Establishment of chickpea seedlings from seed inoculated with Botrytis cinerea was increased under controlled environmental conditions by treatment of seed with Gliocladium roseum or Trichoderma virens . An isolate of G. roseum (GrH) from Horsham in the chickpea-growing region of western Victoria outperformed T. virens in three soil types, including one to which T. virens was indigenous. There was no effect of soil moisture on seedling establishment from seed treated with GrH, but recovery of G. roseum from seed in continuously wet soil was lower than from wet/dry soil. A factorial assay with three isolates of G. roseum and the soils from which they were isolated showed no interaction between isolate and soil type and no difference between isolates for establishment or recovery. In a field trial at Horsham sown in winter (July), seed treatment with GrH increased establishment from 26.0% (control) to 37.5%. Biocontrol by GrH was ineffective in a winter-sown field trial at Bundoora, but all three isolates increased establishment from 47.5% (control) to up to 87.5% in a trial at the same location sown in spring (October). The commercial implications of these observations are discussed.  相似文献

Prior infection of faba bean with the viruses bean yellow mosaic and bean leaf roll increased host susceptibility to subsequent infection by Botrytis fabae and B. cinerea. Cell necrosis beneath inoculum droplets, rate and extent of lesion spread and sporulation of B. fabae were all increased on detached leaves from virus-infected compared with healthy plants. Changes were most marked in young leaves showing conspicuous symptoms of systemic virus infection and in plants virus-infected for at least 2-4 weeks. Localized lesions produced by B. cinerea or a low concentration of B. fabae conidia (103 spores/ ml) showed increased cell necrosis but were not transformed into aggressive, spreading lesions on virus-infected leaves.  相似文献

Application of Pythium oligandrum to a soil-based compost as a mycelial suspension (5 × 102 CFU g−1 of dry compost) and oospore alginate pellets (105 oospores/g of dry compost) controlled pre- and postemergence damping-off of sugar beet caused by Pythium ultimum to a level similar to metalaxyl seed treatment. Oospore seed treatments and aqueous suspensions of oospores applied to compost failed to control disease. Problems in the use of P. oligandrum oospore inocula for the control of damping-off were highlighted. It was shown that treatment of oospores with cellulase (20 g L−1) increased germination approximately three-fold in comparison to untreated spores. Untreated and cellulase pretreated oospores were subsequently evaluated as seed treatments for their ability to control damping-off of sugar beet. The highest rate of pretreated oospores (104 oospores/seed) gave levels of emergence and establishment in infested compost that were not significantly different from the uninfested controls, whereas seed treatment with untreated oospores gave no significant reduction in disease. In a trial carried out in a controlled environment to assess the effect of pH (4.5–8.0), P. oligandrum (104 cellulase pretreated oospores/seed) was shown to control pre- and postemergence damping-off of sugar beet at pH 7.0 and 7.5 only.  相似文献

The rate of conidiogenic germination of Botrytis squamosa was highest at 16°C and the greatest numbers of conidia per sclerotium (up to 5 × 104) were produced at temperatures of 5–10°C. At temperatures above 20°C, the percentage of sclerotia producing conidia declined rapidly. Decreasing water potential reduced the rate at which conidia were produced and also resulted in fewer conidia produced per sclerotium. However, conidia were produced at water potentials as low as −2 MPa, at which sclerotial germination was at least 60%. A simulation model that included effects of both temperature and water potential was developed from laboratory and field data obtained for conidial production in sclerotia exposed for periods of 1, 2, 3 or 4 weeks during an entire year. There was good agreement between conidiogenic germination predicted by the model and conidial production observed in onion plots artificially inoculated with sclerotia. Temperature and water potential were therefore considered to be the principal microclimatic factors affecting conidial production by B. squamosa. The role of sclerotia in the context of UK onion production is discussed.  相似文献

ABSTRACT The effect of treatments with conidial suspensions of Ulocladium atrum and Gliocladium roseum on leaf rot of cyclamen caused by Botrytis cinerea was investigated under commercial greenhouse conditions. Spraying U. atrum (1 x 10(6) conidia per ml) or G. roseum (2 x 10(6) conidia per ml and 1 x 10(7) conidia per ml) at intervals of 2 to 3 weeks during the production period and spraying U. atrum (1 x 10(6) conidia per ml) at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks resulted in a significant reduction of natural infections of petioles by B. cinerea. U. atrum or G. roseum (1 x 10(7)conidia per ml) was as effective as the standard fungicide program. B. cinerea colonized senesced leaves within the plant canopy and infected adjacent petioles and leaves later. The antagonists colonized senesced leaves and reduced B. cinerea development on these leaves. Thus, the inoculum potential on petioles adjacent to necrotic leaf tissues was reduced. The fate of U. atrum conidia on surfaces of green cyclamen leaves during a 70-day period after application was studied. The number of conidia per square centimeter of leaf surface remained relatively constant during the entire experiment. Sixty percent of the conidia sampled during the experiments retained the ability to germinate. When green leaves were removed from the plants to induce senescence and subsequently were incubated in a moist chamber, U. atrum colonized the dead leaves. Senesced leaves also were colonized by other naturally occurring fungi including B. cinerea. On leaves treated with U. atrum from all sampling dates, sporulation of B. cinerea was significantly less as compared with the untreated control. Our results indicate that early applications of U. atrum before canopy closure may be sufficient to achieve commercially satisfactory control of Botrytis leaf rot in cyclamen.  相似文献

Pitch canker, caused by the fungus Fusarium circinatum , is a disease affecting many pine tree species. In California, Pinus radiata (Monterey pine) is the principal pine host affected by pitch canker. This investigation into factors affecting infection frequency by F. circinatum of P. radiata examined the influence of: (i) wound size; (ii) relative humidity; (iii) time of inoculation; (iv) inoculum density; and (v) wound age. Wounded branches sustained significantly more infections when large-diameter (1·6 mm) rather than small-diameter (0·5 mm) wounds were made. Infection frequencies tended to be higher at 100% RH than at ambient humidity, although these differences were not statistically significant. Infection frequencies were significantly higher on branches inoculated after 17·00 h than on branches inoculated before noon. Infection frequencies were significantly higher for wounded branches spray-inoculated with 5 × 107 rather than 1 × 107 spores mL−1. Infection frequencies of pruning wounds declined as wounds aged.  相似文献

Aqueous suspensions of conidia of 285 wild-type strains and mutants of Gliocladium virens, Trichoderma hamatum, T. harzianum and T. viride were tested against Sclerotium rolfsii in the greenhouse. Ten strains of G. virens and four strains of T. harzianum suppressed damping-off of snapbean by 30-50% and blight by 36-74%. All strains of T. hamatum and T. viride tested as conidia were ineffective. In general, strains of G. virens were more effective in suppressing disease in the greenhouse than strains of T. harzianum. Several strains of G. virens and T. harzianum used alone were equal to or more effective than double and triple mixtures of such strains in disease suppression. Of four formulations of G. virens tested, germlings, alginate-bran-fermenter biomass pellets, and Pyrax-fermenter biomass mixtures reduced disease considerably and all three formulations were more effective than conidia in aqueous suspension. Strain G1-3 of G. virens added to soil as Pyrax-fermenter biomass mixtures in amounts to provide colony-forming units ranging from 1 -5 × 103 to 1 -2 × 104 per g soil provided statistically significant protection of the host at all concentrations. The extent of biological control with strains G1-3 and G1-21 of G. virens also depended on the strain of the pathogen used. Both strains effectively suppressed disease caused by strain Sr-1 (small sclerotia) of S. rolfsii. They were partially effective against strain Sr-116 (medium size sclerotia) and ineffective against strain Sr-3 (large sclerotia). Although strains G1-3 and G1-21 colonized the sclerotia of all three strains of S. rolfsii in soil effectively, they only reduced germinability of sclerotia of strain Sr-1.  相似文献

Populations of total bacteria and Erwinia herbicola were monitored on apple blossom in selected orchards at two different geographical regions in New Zealand (Canterbury and Hawke's Bay). In all four orchards surveyed E. herbicola populations remained negligible (less than 50cfu/blossom) throughout flowering, increasing rapidly at petal drop to reach levels of 1 × 103 cfu/blossom (Hawke's Bay) to 1 × 105 cfu/blossom (Canterbury). Total bacterial populations increased 100-fold at petal drop in both locations. Pseudomonas populations were predominant in Canterbury throughout all flowering stages and in Hawkes Bay after early flowering. When screened for inhibitory activity to E. amylovora , 26% of all isolates from Canterbury showed some inhibition in vitro , but none of the isolates from Hawke's Bay showed inhibition of E. amylovora in vitro. Two Canterbury isolates with strong in vitro inhibitory activity also inhibited E. amylovora in immature pear fruit. One isolate was identified as E. herbicola and one isolate as Pseudomonas fluorescens.  相似文献

The susceptibility of 24 potato cultivars to soft rot caused by Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica was assessed in a simplified form of a tuber slice test described previously. Freshly made wounds on tuber slices were inoculated with drops (0–02 ml) containing 108, 107 or 106 cells/ml and incubated aerobically for 3 days at 15° or 20°C. At 20°C differences between cultivars were clear at all concentrations but at 15°C less so at the lowest concentration unless incubation time was extended. The rank order of cultivar susceptibility was similar to that found in previous seasons.  相似文献

The pattern of Cylindrocladium pteridis adhesion, germination and penetration in eucalypt leaves was assessed using scanning electron microscopy. The effects of inoculum concentration, leaf wetness period, plant age and branch position of cylindrocladium leaf blight and defoliation severity were assessed in greenhouse studies using two Eucalyptus grandis × E. urophylla hybrid clones. Penetration occurred through stomata, and there was no difference in the number of penetrations between young and old leaves. Percentage leaf area with lesions and defoliation increased with the increase in inoculum concentration (1 × 102 to 105 conidia mL−1), duration of leaf wetness period (6 to 48 h) and plant age (60 to 180 days). Branch position in plants also significantly affected the percentage leaf area with lesions and defoliation, the latter variable being significantly higher at the stem base. The highest values of lesion area were also observed on leaves at the stem base in both clones. The Pearson correlation between defoliation and leaf area with lesions was significant in all experiments ( r  > 0·9) indicating a high association between these two variables.  相似文献

A spherical virus–like agent ($$32 nm in diameter) was isolated from a plant of Brachypodium sylvaticum (Huds.) Beauv. growing in a botanic garden in England and showing yellow streaks in the leaves. The agent was readily purified and sedimented as a single component in sucrose density rate gradients. The particles had a sedimentation coefficient at infinite dilution of $$122S and a buoyant density of 1.35 g/cm3 in CsCl and 1·33 in CS2SO4. The particles were stable at acid pH but above pH 7·0 in the presence of EDTA dissociated. A protein having a major polypeptide with a molecular weight of $$3·76 × 104 and a species of single stranded RN A with a MW of 1·67 × 106 were detected in the particles. The agent was not transmitted by manual inoculation, by the insects Myzus persicae Sulzer, Rhopalosiphum padi L. or Nephotettix virescens Distant, through soil by leakage from roots or by seed. The particles had physicochemical properties in common with tombus– and sobemoviruses but were not serologically related to 10 members of these groups or to 57 other small spherical RNA plant viruses.  相似文献
