Root exudates of potato onion are involved in the suppression of clubroot in a Chinese cabbage-potato onion-Chinese cabbage crop rotation

Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, has emerged as a serious disease threatening cruciferous crop production throughout the world. Crop rotation with non-host species is commonly practised to avoid clubroot, but it is not known whether rotation crops can control clubroot when the resting spores of P. brassicae remain unaffected. Pot experiments were performed to investigate the response of clubroot in Chinese cabbage to crop rotation with potato onion. The results showed that Chinese cabbage rotated with potato onion exhibited less clubroot disease than Chinese cabbage monoculture. Compared with residues from potato onion, the addition of root exudates from potato onion significantly decreased the disease incidence and index of clubroot (p ≤ 0.05). Potato onion root exudates decreased the number of secondary plasmodia of P. brassicae and the expression of the PRO1 gene of P. brassicae. These results suggest that root exudates from potato onion may play an important role in suppressing clubroot in a Chinese cabbage-potato onion-Chinese cabbage rotation system.     

Sources, survival and transmission of Cladosporium allii and C. allii-cepae, leaf blotch pathogens of leek and onion

Neither Cladosporium allii nor C . allii-cepae was detected in seed samples of 46 commercial cultivars of leek and nine of onion.
In glasshouse tests where flower inflorescences of onions and leeks were dusted with conidia of C. alliicepae and C. allii , respectively, few onion seeds and no leek seeds became contaminated. In field crops of leeks some spathes and inflorescences became diseased and gave 0 002% C. allii contaminated seeds. No infected onion seeds were obtained from naturally-infected plants in the field.
Conidia of both fungi survived for less than 6 weeks in sterile and non-sterile soil (during which time the temperature varied from -8 to +11 C); pseudothecial bodies survived longer.
Both pathogens survived for 3 months in debris of onion or leek on the surface of soil in pots under similar conditions. In debris buried at a depth of 7 cm in sterile or unsterile soil they survived for 2 months. Although C. allii survived only 1 month in debris on the soil surfaces following a leek crop, conidia of the fungus were trapped from the air above the area for at least 6 months and healthy leeks transplanted into this area developed the disease. No leaf blotch developed in leeks grown on land which had not previously borne that crop.     

Interactions between Sclerotium cepivorum and cultivars of onion, leek, garlic and Allium fistulosum

Laboratory and field experiments showed that germination of sclerotia of Sclerotium cepivorum was slower in the presence of cultivars of leek than in the presence of those of onion, garlic and Allium fistulosum . Spread of infection amongst closely spaced plants was also less in leeks than in the other three species. No evidence was found for any differences in the resistance of root tissues of the four Allium species. It is considered that differential stimulation of sclerotium germination is likely to have been the principal reason for the low incidence of white rot infection in leeks which was reported previously.     

Root exudates associated with the resistance of four chickpea cultivars (Cicer arietinum) to two races of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri

The germination of race 1 spores of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri was significantly inhibited by the root exudate of the wilt-resistant chickpea cvs CPS1 and WR315 compared to untreated spores and spores treated with root exudates from susceptible cultivars. The effect was concentration dependent, such that the exudate from 1 g of root in 2 ml of water almost completely inhibited spore germination, whereas the exudate from 1 g of root in 20 ml water did not do so. The inhibitory effects of the active exudates were negated when the apolar components of the exudates were removed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The root exudates of the susceptible cv. JG62 and the late wilting cv. H208 did not inhibit germination. The hyphal growth of germinated spores was also strongly inhibited by the concentrated exudates of CPS1 and WR315, and diluted exudates were less potent. The highest concentration of the exudate of the susceptible cv. JG62 showed some inhibition of hyphal growth, whereas none of the exudates of H208 were found to contain any antifungal activity. The effect of the exudates on the spores of race 2 was similar to that reported for race 1, except that the water-soluble components of the crude root exudate of WR315 after ethyl acetate extraction were also found to inhibit germination significantly. Overall, the spores of race 2 appeared to be more susceptible to the effects of the exudates. The ethyl acetate fractions of the root exudates of CPS1 and WR315 strongly inhibited germination and hyphal growth of both race 1 and race 2, the effect being concentration dependent. The results suggest that the resistance of chickpeas to vascular wilt depends, at least in part, upon the antifungal activity of the root exudates. Differences in the expression of resistance in the field could depend upon the concentration or rate of production of constitutive antifungal components by the root.     

Effects of cultural methods and physical weed control on intrarow weed numbers, manual weeding and marketable yield in direct-sown leek and bulb onion

Manual weeding of intrarow weeds in direct-sown leek and bulb onion crops grown organically can be very labour-intensive. Four field experiments, two in direct-sown leek and two in direct-sown bulb onion were made in this investigation to study the effects of physical and cultural methods on intrarow weed numbers, time consumption for hand-weeding and marketable yield parameters. The physical methods considered were: pre-emergence flaming and harrowing, and post-emergence hoeing close to the row (only leek) and vertical brush weeding. The cultural methods were: seed priming, slurry placement and cultivar choice (only leek). Generally, flaming plus brush weeding gave the highest intrarow weed control at 92% and 87%, respectively, in the two leek experiments and 39% (only brush weeding was effective) and 74%, respectively, in the two onion experiments. Time consumption for hand-weeding after the different treatments was linearly related to the remaining numbers of intrarow weeds, with no significant influences of the experimental factors on the general relationship. Generally, the cultural methods had no significant influence on the effects of physical weeding in terms of their effect against intrarow weeds. They did not affect the tolerance or robustness of the crop plants against negative impact from the physical control methods. However, generally, seed priming and cultivar choice did improve yield in the leek experiments and seed priming also did so in the one experiment with onion.     

韭菜等几种植物根系分泌物对棉花黄萎病菌的影响

通过水培法收集韭菜、大葱、野薄荷、藿香和薰衣草的根系分泌物,研究其对大丽轮枝菌菌丝生长、孢子萌发的影响,并通过室内盆栽试验研究了植物根系分泌物对大丽轮枝菌微菌核萌发的影响。结果表明,5种植物根系分泌物对大丽轮枝菌菌丝生长和孢子萌发均表现为抑制作用;随着浓度的升高,抑制作用增强,而在同一浓度下,随着处理时间的延长,根系分泌物对孢子萌发的抑制作用逐渐减弱。盆栽试验表明,植物根系分泌物对大丽轮枝菌微菌核的萌发均表现为抑制作用,且微菌核对韭菜根系分泌物最为敏感。5种植物中,韭菜根系分泌物的抑制作用最强,野薄荷次之,藿香最弱。     

Infection of cultivars of onion, leek, garlic and A llium fistulosum by Sclerotium cepivorum

In two field experiments on land severely infested with Sclerotium cepivorum largo differences in the incidence of white rot in four Allium species were recorded. There was inuch less disease ° Cultivars of leek than in those of onion, garlic or A. fistulosum. Differences between cultivars within species were either small or absent.     

Crude extract of the cyanobacterium, Hapalosiphon sp., causes a cessation of root elongation and cell division in several plant species

The phytotoxic activities of the crude extract from the cyanobacterium, Hapalosiphon sp., on the initial growth and root cell division of several plant species were investigated. Although the germination percentages of the plants were not affected by the extract, their root and shoot growth were remarkably suppressed, depending on the extract concentrations. Roots were more sensitive to the extract than shoots and the sensitivity, determined by the I₅₀ concentrations between the susceptible and tolerant species, differed by 5 and 11 times in dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants, respectively. The mitotic index for wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Norin 61) root cells was not affected, but the mitotic index for onion ( Allium cepa L. cv. Raputa II) was reduced with the increasing concentration of the extract. In the onion root meristem, the number of cells in prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase were decreased significantly with 6 g DW L⁻¹ (g dry weight of algae L⁻¹). This suggests that the extract might inhibit the processes regulating the entry of cells into mitosis.     

A new pathovar of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pseudomonas syringae</Emphasis>, pathovar <Emphasis Type="Italic">allii,</Emphasis> isolated from onion plants exhibiting symptoms of blight

Bacterial pathogens of onion (Allium cepa) plants and their undetected presence in seed can cause substantial losses to onion producers. In this study, 23 Pseudomonas syringae strains were isolated from five onion plants and 18 onion seeds. The symptoms on leaves and seed stalks were irregular lesions with necrotic centres and water soaked margins. The aim of the study was to characterize these P. syringae strains using Biolog GN III carbon source utilization, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) based on partial sequences of four housekeeping genes (cts, gapA, gyrB and rpoD), and to determine whether or not the strains were pathogenic on onion (cv. Granex 33), chive (Allium schoenoprasum cv. Grasiue), leek (Allium porrum cv. Giant Italian) and spring onion (Allium fistulosum cv. Salotte) plants. Both Biolog analysis and MLST analysis separated onion strains into two clusters, one supporting the existence of a new pathovar of P. syringae, and the other corresponding to P. syringae pv. porri. Pseudomonas syringae strains belonging to the new pathovar we pathogenic only on onion plants of the Allium spp. tested. The results of this study revealed that bacterial blight of onion in South Africa is caused by two pathovars of P. syringae sensu lato, namely, the newly described pathovar, allii, and P. syringae pv. porri. The symptoms caused by these two pathovars in the field were indistinguishable.     

Species-dependent effects of border cell and root tip exudates on nematode behavior

ABSTRACT Effects of border cell and root tip exudates on root knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) behavior were examined. In whole-plant assays using pea, M. incognita second-stage juveniles (J2) accumulated rapidly around the 1- to 2-mm apical region ensheathed by border cells, but not in the region of elongation. Within 15 to 30 min, J2 which had accumulated within detached clumps of border cells lost motility and entered into a quiescent state. When border cells (and associated root tip exudates) were washed from pea roots prior to challenge with nematodes, no such accumulation and quiescence was induced. Attraction of nematodes by roots was species dependent: no attraction or accumulation occurred in snap bean. Using a quantitative assay, three categories of chemotaxis responses occurred: attraction (pea and alfalfa cv. Thor), repulsion (alfalfa cv. Moapa 69), and no response (snap bean and alfalfa cv. Lahonton). In contrast, total root tip exudates from all three plant species acted as a repellent for M. incognita in the sand assay. An in vitro assay was developed to characterize the induced quiescence response. When total root tip exudate from the tested legumes (as well as corn) was incubated with J2 populations, >80% of the nematodes lost motility. A similar response occurred in Caenorhabditis elegans. Border cell exudates did not induce or contribute to the induction of quiescence. Cocultivation of pea border cells with M. incognita resulted in changes in border cell shape similar to those observed in response to exogenous plant hormones. No such changes occurred in snap bean border cells. Understanding the cell- and host-specific extracellular recognition that occurs between roots and pathogenic nematodes in the early stages before infection occurs could lead to new avenues for disease control.     

Modifications in the potato rhizosphere during infestations of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Globodera rostochiensis</Emphasis> and subsequent effects on the growth of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Rhizoctonia solani</Emphasis>

Two controlled environment experiments were conducted to explore the hypothesis that invasion and damage caused to potato roots by the potato cyst nematode Globodera rostochiensis might result in quantitative or qualitative changes in the release of root exudates to subsequently affect the growth of Rhizoctonia solani (AG3) in the potato rhizosphere. The growth of five R. solani isolates was compared on media amended either with root exudates from G. rostochiensis-infested or uninfested potato (cv. Désirée) plants at different time intervals after the introduction of the nematodes. In Experiment 1, the growth of R. solani was higher on medium amended with potato root exudates from G. rostochiensis-infested compared to uninfested plants, collected 4, 6, 8 and 12 days after the G. rostochiensis treatments were administered. Similarly, in Experiment 2, R. solani isolates grew faster on medium amended with potato root exudates from G. rostochiensis-infested than uninfested plants. This trend was particularly pronounced at the 12-day collection. At this time, 49% of the G. rostochiensis juveniles in roots were found to belong to the juvenile moults J2 and J3, indicating that root exudates were modified during the earlier stages of juvenile invasion. Carbohydrate analysis of root exudates indicated significantly higher levels of sucrose in root exudates from G. rostochiensis-infested than uninfested plants, whereas no significant differences were found in total nitrogen content. The results are discussed to help elucidate the mechanism behind the disease complex found between G. rostochiensis and R. solani in previous field research.     

取食不同寄主植物对韭菜迟眼蕈蚊幼虫药剂敏感性的影响及其生化机制

采用浸渍法研究了分别取食韭菜、大葱、圆葱和大蒜的韭菜迟眼蕈蚊4龄幼虫对大蒜油、苦参碱和辛硫磷的敏感性,用生化分析法测定了敌敌畏和大蒜油对幼虫体内乙酰胆碱酯酶和主要代谢酶活性的影响.结果表明:大蒜油对取食韭菜、大葱、圆葱和大蒜4龄幼虫的LC50分别为825.14、1202.2、1274.3和1412.4mg/L;辛硫磷分别为0.5437、1.1921、1.7713和1.9224mg/L,两种药剂对取食大蒜和圆葱幼虫的毒力较取食韭菜的差异显著.取食大蒜和圆葱的幼虫较取食韭菜的其体内乙酰胆碱酯酶活力降低,羧酸酯酶的活力明显提高,谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶的活力也有一定提高.寄主植物所含的硫醚类化合物对乙酰胆碱酯酶和代谢酶的诱导或抑制可能是引起药剂敏感性差异的主要原因.     

A comparison of flavour and odour compounds of onion, leek, garlic and Allium fistulosum in relation to germination of sclerotia of Sclerotium cepivorum

The low ability of cullivars of leek to stimulate germination of sclerotia of Sclerotium cepivorum compared with those of onion, garlic and Allium fistulosum appears to be associated with their relative iv small seeds, the lower levels of flavour and odour precursors in their roots and the relatively high proportion of the inactive methyl radical in their flavour and odour profiles.     

Leek yellow stripe virus and its relationships to onion yellow dwarf virus; characterization,ecology and possible control

Since 1970 yellow stripe disease of leek (Allium porrum) has developed epidemically in the south-eastern part of the Netherlands coincident with increasing year-around cultivation of the crop. Many autumn and winter crops now become totally infected. Apparently similar attacks, first reported in Germany in 1937, are increasingly attracting attention in various European countries. This paper describes the leek yellow stripe virus (LYSV) as a new potyvirus related to onion yellow dwarf virus (OYDV), which was so far incompletely described. LYSV is hardly infectious to onion (A. cepa) and shallot (A. ascalonicum) and OYDV behaves similarly on leek. The leek virus further differs from OYDV in not being infectious toA. fistulosum and in causing distinct local lesions onChenopodium amaranticolor andC. quinoa. The two viruses closely resemble each other in external symptoms in their respective hosts, in persistence of infectivity in expressed sap, and in particle morphology and length (LYSV 820 nm; OYDV 833 nm). Intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies slightly differ. Further biophysical characters of the two viruses, such as sedimentation coefficient (OYDV 143 S), buoyant density in CsCl (LYSV 1.326; OYDV 1.306, or 1.258 in Cs₂SO₄), and molecular mass of coat protein subunit (LYSV 34000; OYDV 30000 dalton), are characteristic of the potyvirus group, but do not assist in judging their relationships. Serologically they are only distantly related if at all. The leek virus is not seed-borne. It is aphid-transmitted in the non-persistent manner and its main epidemic build-up is during late summer and autumn. The sole sources of infection are nearby leek crops. Awaiting the development of resistant leek cultivars, it is advised to avoid sowing leek seed beds and planting spring crops near overwintering leek, and to remove infected plants showing up during summer.     

Characterization of reactive oxygen species-involved oxidative damage in Hapalosiphon species crude extract-treated wheat and onion roots

Crude extract-induced oxidative damage using the cyanobacterium, Hapalosiphon sp., was investigated in wheat seedlings ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Norin 61) and onion seedlings ( Allium cepa L. cv. Raputa II). The analysis of root cell viability or cell death using Evans blue uptake showed that the root-tip cells of wheat and onion lost viability after 24 h and 48 h treatment with 3 g dry weight (DW) L⁻¹ of the crude extract, respectively. Lipid peroxidation was induced in the roots of both species and the shoots of onion, whereas no increase in lipid peroxide formation was observed in the wheat shoots. In onion, the degree of random DNA fragmentation increased with the increasing concentration of the extract and laddering of the DNA was observed with 6 g DW L⁻¹ of the extract, but no apparent DNA ladder formation occurred in the wheat. Pretreatment for 1 h with the NADPH oxidase inhibitors, diphenyleneidonium or imidazole, reduced the crude extract-induced root cell death in both species. From the results, we suggest that the Hapalosiphon sp. crude extract might enhance reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which causes membrane lipid damage and fragmentation of the DNA of plant cells, resulting in cell death and growth inhibition. The crude extract-mediated phytotoxic damage might be caused by ROS, triggered by NADPH oxidase.     

Investigation of the host ranges of the leaf blotch pathogens of onion (Cladosporium allii-cepae) and leek (C. allii)

Inoculation of a range of Allium species and two non-alliaceous species with isolates of Cladosporiumallii-cepae and C. allii , obtained from onion and leek, respectively, demonstrated that the two pathogens had distinct host ranges. Conidia of C. allii-cepae, applied either dry or in aqueous suspension, infected A. altaicum, A. fistulosum (Japanese bunching onion), A. cepa (bulb onion), A. cepa var. ascalonicum (shallot), A. galanthum, A. pskemense and A. vavilovii . Dry conidia of C. allii applied at a high concentration caused atypical necrosis on A. altaicum, A. fistulosum, A. cepa var. ascalonicum, A. galanthum, A. pskemense, A. vavilovii, A. sativum (garlic), A. ampeloprasum and A. porrum (leek). Only A. ampeloprasum and A. porrum became typically infected following inoculation with conidia applied dry at low concentration or in aqueous suspension. Isolates of C. allii from leek failed to infect A. vineale, the type host. The length of conidia of a single isolate of C. allii-cepae varied significantly on different Allium spp.     

Histology of Sclerotium cepivorum infection of onion roots and the spatial relationships of pectinases in the infection process

Sclerotium cepivorum (isolate Sc4) hyphae penetrated the epidermis and hypodermis of onion roots and grew into the cortex. Immediately following penetration only the cells through which S. cepivorum grew were lysed, but subsequently cells were killed and cell walls disintegrated ahead of the infection hyphae. Sclerotium cepivorum produced two polygalacturonases (PG) and two pectinesterases (PE) in culture. These isozymes were also found in infected onion root tissues and another PG and a PE were occasionally detected. Two isozymes of PG and three isozymes of PE diffused ahead of the infection hyphae. The spatial distribution of these enzymes was associated with cell death and cell wall degradation. The epidermis, hypodermis, endodermis and vascular tissues were more resistant to hydrolysis than the cortex, but only the endodermis and cells within it retained nuclei following hydrolysis of the surrounding cortical tissues. The cavity within the root cortex became filled with swollen, vacuolate S. cepivorum hyphae.     

Pisatin involvement in the variation of inhibition of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi spore germination by root exudates of Pisum spp. germplasm

Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi (Fop) is one of the major constraints of pea worldwide. Its control is difficult and is mainly based on the use of resistant cultivars. This study aimed to identify and characterize resistance mechanisms interfering with Fop spore germination, as an additional pre‐penetration resistance mechanism little explored so far. For this, root exudates were collected from 12 pea accessions with differential responses to the disease, from resistant to susceptible, and their effects on Fop germination and growth were determined. While root exudates from most accessions stimulated Fop germination, the root exudates of three accessions, JI 1412, JI 2480 and P42, did not stimulate, or even inhibited, Fop germination. Although some additional compounds might be involved, the analysis showed that the most active metabolite was the pea phytoalexin pisatin. Pisatin was identified in the active fraction of pea root exudate extracts and its amount in the root exudates was negatively correlated with the extent of Fop germination. This suggests an important role of pisatin in the constitutive defence of pea against F. oxysporum.
