Using a leaf disc method, 19 isolates of the poplar rust, Melampsora larici-populina , and one isolate of M.populnea from England were inoculated on to 25 poplar clones belonging to Populus nigra and P.trichocarpa, and hybrids between P. deltoides and P. nigra, P. deltoidesand P. trichocarpa, P.tacamahaca and P.trichocarpa, and P. alba and P. tremula. Disease was scored based on the pustule area and inoculum density. In terms of whether sporulating uredinia formed, the 19 isolates showed seven different patterns to the tested poplar clones. The majority of the rust isolates infected P. nigra P3090 and Vereecken, P.nigra×P. deltoides Casale and Tasman, P. tacamahaca×trichocarpa 36 and Balsam Spire, and P.trichocarpa Blom. Populus trichocarpa×P. deltoides 69039/4 was infected by only three isolates collected from southern England. No visible symptoms appeared on P. alba ×P. tremulaTower and P.trichcarpa×P. deltoides×P. deltoides76028/5 in inoculations with M. larici-populina isolates. Populus alba×P.tremula Tower was infected only by M. populnea. When M. larici-populina isolates were tested using AFLP, no differences were found either between isolates from different geographical regions or between those having narrow spectrum of virulence and those showing wide spectrum of virulence on the tested clones. The results suggest that the UK rust populations possess virulences which were found in races E1, E2, E3 and E4 in continental Europe and that rust having virulence patterns similar to race E4 has occurred in UK poplar plantations since 1996.  相似文献

Environmental factors influencing sporocarp formation in Typhula ishikariensis were studied under controlled conditions. Sporocarp formation in T. ishikariensis was divided into two stages: stipe elongation from the sclerotium and fertile head development at the tip of the stipe. Factors required for each stage differed. At the stipe elongation stage, low temperature (10°/5°C; day/night) and high humidity were important, but light was not required. In contrast, at the fertile head stage, light and moderate day length (8h/day) were essential. Fertile heads developed at 46µEm–2s–1; and high intensity (137µEm–2s–1) did not suppress development. Moreover, adding unsterilized soil to the sea sand medium accelerated sporocarp formation. These findings imply that the sclerotium of T. ishikariensis recognizes several physical factors for sporocarp formation. Sporocarps of T. ishikariensis developed within 4 weeks after incubation under optimal conditions. The sporocarp produced basidiospores, and differential mating incompatibility was confirmed among monokaryons derived from basidiospores produced under artificial conditions. This method should be useful for obtaining monokaryons for genetic studies of T. ishikariensis.  相似文献

Virus interactions between Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and Potato virus X (PVX) containing the nucleocapsid protein (N) gene sequences were examined to evaluate the capacity of the N gene sequences from TSWV to promote RNA-mediated cross-protection. Plants simultaneously inoculated with TSWV and PVX containing the 3 96bp of the N gene were highly resistant to TSWV infection, whereas no such resistance was observed in plants inoculated with TSWV and PVX containing the 5 96bp. These results suggest that the 3 portion of the N gene has a higher capacity for promoting RNA-mediated cross-protection of TSWV.  相似文献

Two primer sets were designed based on the sequence of polymorphic bands that were derived from repetitive sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR) fingerprinting and specifically detected in Ralstonia solanacearum race 4 strains (ginger, mioga, and curcuma isolates). One primer set (AKIF-AKIR) amplified a single band (165bp) from genomic DNA obtained from all mioga and curcuma and some ginger isolates; another set (21F-21R) amplified one band (125bp) from the other ginger isolates. These primer sets did not amplify the bands from genomic DNA of other R. solanacearum strains or of other related bacteria. PCR detection limit for the pathogen was 2 × 102cfu.The nucleotide sequence data reported are available in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases under accession numbers AB118756 and AB118757  相似文献

Rice leaves were inoculated with spores of Magnaporthe grisea, and the number of fluorescence-labeled spores that attached to the leaf surface were counted before and after leaves were dipped and then stirred in water. Just 5% of the spores were retained on the leaf surface 1h after inoculation; the percentage retained then increased rapidly between 1.25 and 1.50h, and most had attached by 2h. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that most conidia were lying on a few wart-like protuberances 2–4µm high. Spores became attached when the germ tubes were long enough to reach the leaf surface, at least 3µm, by mucilaginous substances at the tip. Retained spores swayed when water was added under the cover glass from one side, indicating that the attachment was confined to the tips of germ tubes. Spores are attached to the rough leaf surface by mucilaginous substances – not at the tip of spore as reported on smooth artificial substrates but at the tip of the germ tubes.  相似文献

The infection processes of ascospores and pycnidiospores of Leptosphaeria maculans were studied on cotyledons of six cultivars of spring-type Brassica napus: one with resistance controlled by a single dominant gene (cv. Surpass 400), three with polygenic resistance (cvs. Dunkeld, Grouse, and Outback), and two susceptible cultivars (Westar and Q2). On all cultivars, ascospore germination, penetration, and development of symptoms on cotyledons were much earlier than that with pycnidiospores. At 2h after inoculation ascospores began to germinate, by 4h about 50% had germinated, and by 6–8h 85%–90% had germinated. In contrast, pycnidiospores began to germinate 1 day after inoculation (dai) and reached only 50% germination by 3 dai. Ascospores began germinating from terminal cells and then later from the interstitial cells. Pycnidiospores germinated predominantly from one end and sometimes from both ends. Germ tubes from ascospores penetrated stomata as early as 4h after inoculation, whereas those from pycnidiospores penetrated at 2 dai. Symptom development with ascospores was 2 days earlier than that with pycnidiospores. Symptoms on Surpass 400 were evident as early as 3–5 dai with ascospores and 5–7 dai with pycnidiospores. However, on other cultivars, symptoms were not evident until 10 dai with ascospores and 12 dai with pycnidiospores. This report is the first on differences in the infection processes by the two spore types. Ascospore and pycnidiospore attachment, germination, and penetration did not differ between resistant and susceptible cultivars, but there were major differences after penetration. Under high humidity, 80%–90% of stomata of susceptible Westar and Q2 had aerial hyphae emerging from stomatal pores. However, fewer stomata (5%–10%) had aerial hyphae on Surpass 400 by 10 dai with ascospores and 12 dai with pycnidiospores, but even these were usually poorly developed. Host differences in spring-type B. napus in relation to production of aerial hyphae have not previously been reported. In Surpass 400, rapid necrosis of guard cells occurred within a few hours of penetration by either type of spore, and subsequently one or a few cells immediately adjacent to the penetration site died. This necrosis then spread to the cells around the penetration site to form a hypersensitive response (in the form of a small, dark lesion) to both ascospores and pycnidiospores. This is the first detailed report on interactions between spring-type B. napus and L. maculans in relation to single dominant gene-based resistance. Neither the cultivars with polygenic resistance nor the susceptible cultivars had such a response.  相似文献

The hyphal tip was isolated from 13 weakly or moderately virulent strains of Helicobasidium mompa to remove double-stranded (ds) RNAs and demonstrate their role as the hypovirulence factor. All of 829 hyphal tip subcultures retained dsRNAs. However, strain v670 containing two large fragments (10kb) and one small fragment (ca. 2.3kb) of dsRNA lost the largest fragment in 3 of 63 subcultures analyzed. One of the three subcultures (v670hti) was used to inoculate carrots to regain virulence compared to the parental strain v670. When isolate v670hti was paired with v670, the largest fragment was reintroduced to v670hti, and its virulence was diminished. Northern blot analysis with two probes hybridizing dsRNA fragments in most H. mompa strains revealed that the largest fragment involved in hypovirulence was different from two other fragments that are common in Japan. These results indicate that the largest dsRNA fragment in strain v670 is associated with hypovirulence in H. mompa.  相似文献

Complete nucleotide sequences of eight Japanese isolates of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) were determined and compared with four TYLCV isolates already reported. These isolates separated into three groups – Shizuoka (Sz), Aichi (Ai), Nagasaki (Ng) – and had 99% identities within the groups. Full-length molecules of DNA-A of group Sz consist of 2791nt and those of group Ai contain 2787nt. Both were closely related to TYLCV-Is.M, although those of group Ng had 2793nt and were more closely related to TYLCV-Is. Comparison of common sequences of isolates belonging to groups Sz and Ai had substitutions of 4nt in the intergenic region and nonsynonymous substitutions at open reading frames between the groups. None of the isolates tested had DNA molecules. Agroinfection of four plant species with a DNA-A dimeric infectious clone of TYLCV-SzY, a member of group Sz, resulted in systemic infection. Tomato plants then developed typical yellow leaf curl symptoms.The nucleotide sequence data reported are available in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases under accession numbers AB116629, AB116630, AB116631, AB116632, AB116633, AB116634, AB116635, and AB116636  相似文献

Fistupyrone (FP), a metabolite from Streptomyces sp. TP-A0569, inhibited the in vivo infection of Chinese cabbage seedlings by Alternaria brassicicola. To detect the possible action sites of FP, the effect of FP on the infection behavior of A. brassicicola and A. alternata was investigated. When spores of A. brassicicola were suspended in FP solution and inoculated on host leaves, FP at 0.1ppm significantly inhibited spore germination, appressorial formation, and infection hypha formation of A. brassicicola. Host-specific AB-toxin production and lesion formation by A. brassicicola spores were also reduced significantly by treatment with FP 1ppm. The effect of FP seemed to be irreversible because significant washing of FP-treated spores with distilled water (DW) did not change the inhibitory effects. In contrast, A. alternata isolates such as Japanese pear pathotype, apple pathotype, and saprophyte behaved almost equally in both FP- and DW-treated spores. Mycelial dry weight in potato dextrose broth and mycelial diameters on potato dextrose agar, gelatin glucose agar, and Czapek solution agar of both A. brassicicola and A. alternata were not different with or without addition of FP. These results indicate that FP at low concentrations has a fungicidal effect on spores of A. brassicicola but not on spores of A. alternata; FP also does not affect the vegetative phase of these fungi.  相似文献

The rapid immunofilter paper assay (RIPA) was developed to detect Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), Groundnut ringspot virus (GRSV), and Tomato chlorotic spot virus (TCSV) using antisera against recombinant nucleocapsid (N) proteins of each tospovirus. The two-step RIPA was sensitive enough to detect each pecies specifically in only 30min. This technique is proposed as an excellent tool for routine Tospovirus diagnosis and field epidemiological studies.  相似文献

Epidemiological studies were conducted in five cocoa growing districts in the Eastern Region of Ghana solely infected by Phytophthora palmivora and five districts in the Ashanti and Brong Ahafo Regions prevalently infected by Phytophthora megakarya to determine the natural incidence, the vertical distribution on trees and the probable sources of stem canker infections, and to isolate and identify the causal pathogens. The incidence of canker in the solely P. palmivora infected area was higher (between 0% and 16.0%) than in the area mainly infected with P. megakarya (0.5–8.0%). Differences were found in the natural height distribution of cankers in the two areas, whilst the areas solely infected with P. palmivora showed a near normal curve, those prevalently infected with P. megakarya were positively skewed. Most of the cankers caused by P. megakarya were found at the base or near the base of the tree trunks (1–40cm above ground level), while those of P. palmivora were concentrated between 41 and 100cm from the ground level. The majority (71.8%) of cankers in the solely P. palmivora infected area were cushion-borne, followed by 24.3% from unknown sources and only 3.9% from the soil. In contrast, a significantly large proportion (32.6%) of the cankers in the prevalently P. megakarya infected area were soil-borne, although cushion-borne cankers formed the majority (48.4%) due to the presence of P. palmivora infection whilst those of unknown sources constituted 19.0%. Phytophthora megakarya was frequently isolated from all the three sources of canker infections, indicating P. megakarya readily causes stem canker on cocoa. These results emphasise the importance of different reservoirs as sources of primary inoculum for diseases caused by the two Phytophthora species particularly pod rot infection on cocoa.  相似文献

Crinipellis perniciosa causes a serious disease of cacao known as witches broom (WB). Heritable resistance to witches broom has been used in cacao improvement programs. SCA6 and SCA12 are highly resistant and are the most commonly used parents in the breeding schemes. However, SCA hybrids are not resistant to witches broom in all production areas. Presumably, different populations of C. perniciosa cause these variable responses. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were used to assess variation and population structure in this pathogen. We examined 40 isolates of C. perniciosa and one isolate of Melanotus subcuneiformis. Nine of 64 primer pairs produced consistent and informative DNA amplification, and were used to screen all isolates. Fifteen haplotypes (AFLP fingerprints) were detected with 186 polymorphic markers. Cluster analysis grouped isolates of the C biotype (pathogenic on cacao) from Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador and Trinidad together in a major cluster that was distinct from isolates of the S biotype (pathogenic on solanaceous hosts) and M. subcuneiformis. Isolates of the C biotype were divided further into well supported, country-specific groups. Segregation of AFLP alleles was not observed among basidiospore isolates from the same basidiome, broom, tree or field, supporting previous reports that the fungus did not outcross. The results corroborated prior conclusions that C. perniciosa was probably introduced into the Bahia state of Brazil from the Amazon basin. Representative isolates from the genetically distinct groups that were revealed will be used to examine pathogenic specialization in C. perniciosa and differential responses that have been reported in SCA6-derived germplasm.  相似文献

For the first time soil solarization was investigated in Croatia both in the field and in the greenhouse in 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994. For two months (July and August), the soil was mulched with transparent polyethylene (PE) sheets of 0.015 or 0.050mm thickness. Soil temperatures at depths of 5, 10 and 20cm were recorded daily. In order to assess nematode population densities, soil samples were analysed before mulching and at the end of the mulching treatment. The results of these experiments showed that soil solarization drastically reduced the population of plant-parasitic nematodes (Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus, Paratylenchus, Tylenchus, Tylenchorhynchus spp.) by about 97–100% at a depth of 10cm and 92–97% at a depth of 20cm in the field, while in the greenhouse, the population of plant-parasitic nematodes was reduced by about 89–100% at a depth of 10cm and 98–100% at a depth of 20cm.In the same experiments, the population of saprophytic nematodes in the field was reduced by about 86–90% at a depth of 10cm and 72–89% at a depth of 20cm. In the greenhouse, the population of saprophytic nematodes was reduced by about 87–97% at a depth of 10cm and 87–93% at a depth of 20cm. This data shows that soil solarization was less effective in the control of saprophytic nematodes, which is considered to be an advantage.  相似文献

Two primers, specific for Phytophthora nicotianae (Pn6) and P. citrophthora (Pc2B), were modified to obtain Scorpion primers for real-time identification and detection of both pathogens in citrus nursery soils and roots. Multiplex PCR with dual-labelled fluorogenic probes allowed concurrent identification of both species ofPhytophthora among 150 fungal isolates, including 14 species of Phytophthora. Using P. nicotianaespecific primers a delayed and lower fluorescence increase was also obtained from P. cactorumDNA. However, in separate real-time amplifications, the aspecific increase of fluorescence from P. cactorum was avoided by increasing the annealing temperature. In multiplex PCR, with a series of 10-fold DNA dilutions, the detection limit was 10 pg l-1 for P. nicotianaeand 100 pg l–1 for P. citrophthora, whereas in separate reaction DNA up to 1 pg l-1 was detected for both pathogens.Simple and rapid procedures for direct DNA extraction from soil and roots were utilised to yield DNA whose purity and quality was suitable for PCR assays. By combining these protocols with a double amplification (nested Scorpion-PCR) using primers Ph2-ITS4 amplifying DNA from the main Phytophthora species (first round) and PnB5-Pn6 Scorpion and Pc2B Scorpion-Pc7 (second round), it was possible to achieve real-time detection of P. nicotianaeand P. citrophthora from roots and soil. The degree of sensitivity was similar to that of traditional detection methods based on the use of selective media. The analyses of artificially and naturally infested soil showed a high and significant correlation between the concentration of pathogen propagules and the real-time PCR cycle threshold.  相似文献

The development time, survival and fecundity of the generalist predatory mite, Neoseiulus umbraticusChant, were determined at 20, 25, and 30°C and 65±10% RH. N. umbraticus females completed development in 9.7, 8.0 and 5.9 days, respectively, using a diet of all life stages of Tetranychus cinnabarinus Boisduval. Total developmental times of males were relatively shorter at 25 and 30°C than at 20°C. In general, preoviposition, oviposition, and postoviposition periods of N. umbraticus shortened as temperature increased. The longest survival rate of N. umbraticus of 80.5 days occurred at 20°C, followed by 67.0 and 57.6 days at 25 and 30°C, respectively. Mated females laid an average 0.9, 1.3 and 1.4 eggs per female per day and 33.1, 44.0 and 43.6 eggs over their entire lives at 20, 25 and 30°C, respectively. The sex ratios of this species were 0.57, 0.57 and 0.54 female (female+male) at 20, 25 and 30°C, respectively. The intrinsic rate of increase (rm) became greater with rising temperatures from 0.123 at 20°C to 0.180 at 30°C. The net reproduction rate (Ro) was highest at 25°C (25.0 females/female) and lowest at 20°C (18.8 females/female), while To decreased with increasing temperatures, from 23.8 days at 20°C to 17.5 days at 30°C.  相似文献

Canningia tomici sp. n. (Microsporidia, Unikaryonidae) infects the midgut epithelium, the gut muscules, Malpighian tubules, connective tissues, adipose tissues and the gonads of the pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda (L.) (Coleoptera, Scolytidae). The infection is present in populations of Tomicus piniperda in Europe and in the United States. Uninucleate oval single spores occur in two sizes: 2.8±0.4× 1.4±0.4m and 3.8±0.3×2.0±0.2m. The polar filament of this microsporidium is fixed subapically in a flat anchoring disc. The thick posterior lamellae of the binary polaroplast are asymmetric due to the lateral fixation of the polar filament.  相似文献

We recently reported that two diverse types (types 1 and 2) were identified among strains of Erwinia carotovora from mulberry trees. Type 1 strains were similar to E. carotovora subsp. carotovora (Ecc), whereas type 2 strains were distinct from Ecc and other E. carotovora strains. In this study, seven more mulberry strains of type 2 and reference strains were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and randomly amplified of polymorphic DNA (RAPD). On the basis of SDS-PAGE profiles of whole-cell proteins, type 2 strains had high similarity with one another. In addition, they had an unique peptide band with a molecular mass of approximately 28kDa. RAPD analysis showed that they were also effectively differentiated by a strong, specific RAPD fragment for type 2 strains. Based on these two approaches, we have confirmed that the present type 2 strains from mulberry can be discriminated clearly from other soft rot Erwinia species.  相似文献
