Heterokaryosis is an important mechanism which provides genetic variability increase in filamentous fungi. In order to assess the diversity of vegetative compatibility reactions existing among Colletotrichum acutatum isolates derived from different hosts, complementary nit mutants of each isolate were obtained and paired in all possible combinations. Vegetative compatibility groups (VCG) were identified among the isolates according to their ability to form viable heterokaryons. Seven VCGs were identified among the isolates, one of which contained isolates from different hosts. VCGs 2 and 6 contained two and three members, respectively; VCG-3 contained four members, and four VCGs (1, 4, 5, and 7) contained a single one. This study shows, for the first time, the isolation and the parasexual segregation of a heterozygous diploid sector derived from the heterokaryon formed with nit mutants from VCG-6. Diploid, named DE-3, showed nit+ phenotype and growth rate similar to the parental wild isolate. When inoculated in the presence of the haploidizing agent benomyl, the diploid strain produced parasexual haploid segregants exhibiting the nit phenotypes of the crossed mutants. Since viable heterokaryons and diploid may be formed among vegetative compatible isolates of C. acutatum, this study suggests that the parasexual cycle may be an alternative source of genetic variability in C. acutatum isolates.  相似文献

 Eight hundred twenty four nit mutants were induced from 73 strains of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vanillae, and classified into four phenotypes by their abilities to utilize different nitrogen sources. Among these mutants, 64.9% were characterized as nit 1, 24.3% as nit 3, 9.8% as nit M, 1.0% as nit X. Based on complementary pairing tests of different nit mutants on the medium MM, 44 isolates belonged to 8 different VCGs, 29 isolates were classified into single and different VCGs. These results indicated that there was significant VCG diversity in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vanillae population. VCGs might be correlated with geographic origin of strains, but no close correlation was found between VCGs and pathogenicity.  相似文献

The genotypic diversity in a South African population of Fusarium subglutinans f.sp. pini ( F.s. pini ) was determined, based on the number of vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs). Isolates of F.s. pini from South Africa (69), California (five) and Florida (19) were included in the study. The nit1 (or nit3 ) and NitM mutants were selected as chlorate resistant sectors and paired on minimal medium. The South African isolates of F.s. pini were assigned to 23 different VCGs. No heterokaryons formed between isolates from South Africa, California and Florida. The high degree of genotypic diversity in the South African population of F.s. pini is probably due to some level of sexual reproduction in the population.  相似文献

Fusarium crown and root rot, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. radicis-lycopersici ( Forl ), is one of the most destructive soilborne diseases of tomato in Italy. Chlorate-resistant, nitrate-nonutilizing ( nit ) mutants were used to determine vegetative compatibility among 191 isolates of Forl collected in five geographic regions (Calabria, Emilia-Romagna, Liguria, Sardinia, Sicily) in Italy. The isolates were assigned to five vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs): 65 isolates to VCG 0090; 99 to VCG 0091; 23 to VCG 0092; two to VCG 0093; and two to VCG 0096. The population structure of Forl in Italy is similar to that reported for Israel, and differs from that found in North Atlantic European countries, where VCG 0094 is predominant. The stability of prototrophic heterokaryons originating from hyphal anastomosis between compatible complementary nit mutants was assessed through conidial analysis and mycelial mass transfer. Most monoconidial cultures (84%) recovered from 117 prototrophic heterokaryons were nit mutants, indicating that heterokaryons generally do not proliferate well through conidiation; most of the 177 prototrophic heterokaryons examined were unstable, and only 9% sustained prototrophic growth through the tenth mycelial transfer upon subculturing. The prototrophic growth is proposed to be maintained through restoration of the heterokaryotic state by continual anastomosis between adjacent homokaryotic hyphae. Since heterokaryosis is a prerequisite for parasexual recombination, we speculate that this mechanism is unlikely to play a major role in generating the VCG diversity found among Forl or other strains of F. oxysporum.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Monoconidial isolates of 33 carbendazim-sensitive isolates and 31 carbendazim-resistant isolates of Fusarium graminearum were selected from three regions of China for vegetative compatibility group (VCG) analysis. A total of 213 and 224 nit mutants were recovered from the 33 sensitive and the 31 resistant isolates, respectively. Of all the nit mutants, the frequency of the different phenotypes was 44.6, 46.5, 5.7, and 3.2% for nit1, nit3, nitM, and nitA, respectively. VCG analysis identified 30 different VCGs among the 33 sensitive- and the 31 carbendazim-resistant isolates, with VCG diversity 0.91 and 0.97, respectively. Both, a carbendazim-sensitive and a -resistant isolate from the same field belonged to the same VCG. In all then, a total of 59 VCGs were identified among the 64 isolates with an overall VCG diversity 0.92. Direct hyphal fusion was observed in six pairs of vegetatively compatible complements, which is evidence of heterokaryon formation. It was hypothesized that carbendazim resistance could not be transferred by hyphal fusion or there is a small chance to be transferred between two compatible isolates. Three stable sexual recombinants of F. graminearum were randomly chosen from each of the three genetic crosses to study their biological properties. There were no significant differences in mycelial linear growth and pathogenicity between recombinants and their parents, but they differ in sporulation ability and capacity to produce perithecia. We concluded that sexual recombination presumably played a role in the development of carbendazim resistance under field conditions.  相似文献

从荸荠、棉花、西瓜、黄瓜、胡瓜、大豆、花生等12种寄主作物上获得尖孢镰孢(F—usarium oxysporum)菌株20个,已知15个菌株分属于6个专化型。所有20个菌株在含有氯酸盐的培养基上产生抗氯酸盐的突变体,其突变体在以硝酸盐作为氮源的培养基上表现为无气生菌丝生长,即不能利用硝酸盐的突变株(nit),共获得nit突变株181个。同一专化型的nit突变株之间在以硝酸盐为氮源的培养基上配对时,在菌丝接触处可产生互补作用,即营养体亲和性,表现为旺盛气生菌丝生长。不同专化型的nit突变株之间则不能互补产生异核体而表现为非亲和性仍为突变型生长。每个菌株均获得能产生互补作用的nit突变株。根据营养体亲和性反应,20个菌株归入13个营养体亲和群(VCG),并显示出VCGs与菌株专化型之间的相关性。nit突变株在一般条件下是稳定的,而且某些nit株的亲和能力特强。  相似文献

Nitrate-nonutilizing (nit) mutants were used to determine vegetative compatibility among 34 isolates of Verticillium dahliae from cotton, potato, olive, eggplant, chrysanthemum and tomato from 12 sites in Israel. Based on the formation of complementary heterokaryons, 33 isolates were assigned to two vegetative- compatibility groups (VCGs): one VCG contained 15 isolates from cotton, eggplant, chrysanthemum and olive; and the other VCG contained 18 isolates from potato, olive and cotton. The status of an additional isolate from tomato, which was compatible with both VCGs, remained unclear. In a limited pathogenicity test with 10 isolates, two (from tomato and eggplant) were pathogenic on tomato, eggplant and cotton; most isolates from cotton were pathogenic on cotton and eggplant only; and one from cotton was non-pathogenic. Fewer isolates were pathogenic on tomato than on cotton or eggplant. The diversity of vegetative compatibility found in our V. dahliae collection is comparable to that found in studies of American populations.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Nitrate-nonutilizing (nit) mutants are commonly used to determine vegetative compatibility between isolates of Verticillium dahliae by complementation (heterokaryon) testing. These mutants emerge spontaneously as chlorate-resistant sectors growing out of partially restricted, wild-type colonies on chlorate-amended media. The commonly used chlorate media are based on minimal medium (MMC) or cornmeal agar (CMC), amended with potassium chlorate. nit mutants recovered on these media constituted 10 to 36%(on MMC) and 25 to 45%(on CMC) of the apparently resistant sectors. An improved water agar chlorate medium (WAC) is described that is more effective for selecting chlorate-resistant nit mutants. WAC medium consists of agar (2%), glucose (0.02%), and potassium chlorate (2 to 5%). On WAC, growth of most V. dahliae isolates was strongly inhibited, and 66 to 100%(average >80%) of the chlorate-resistant sectors formed were nit mutants. Most mutants were characterized as nit1, and about 6% as NitM.  相似文献

Twenty-one strains of Botrytis cinerea isolated from six plant species on ten sites throughout Israel, as well as a strain from France, were tested for vegetative and mycelial incompatibility, pathogenicity, resistance to the fungicides carbendazim and iprodione, and colony morphology. Selenate-resistant mutants were isolated from the strains as spontaneous, fast-growing sectors arising from restricted colonies on medium amended with sodium selenate with a mean frequency of 0.04 sectors/colony; 81% of the sectors were sulphate non-utilizing (sul) mutants. One hundred and four sul mutants were divided into two complementary groups: resistant (66 mutants) and sensitive to chromate. Based on compatibility reactions between chromate-resistant and chromate-sensitive sul mutants, 12 strains were compatible only with themselves and were each classified as belonging to different vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs). Nine strains were each compatible with one to three other strains, and were assembled into three multi-member VCGs. Mycelial incompatibility between wild-type strains (barrage), in the form of a zone of dark pigmentation or sparse mycelium with or without dark pigmentation of the agar along the line of confrontation, was observed for 70% of the inter-strain pairings. There was no correspondence in compatibility between strains revealed by two approaches: strains in different VCGs did not necessarily produce a barrage. However, self-compatibility was observed both as heterokaryon formation between complementary sul mutants and as an absence of barrages between mycelia of wild-type strains; wild-type strains belonging to the same VCG did not exhibit strong barrages, although weak antagonistic reactions were observed. Strains in two multi-member VCGs showed the same patterns of resistance to carbendazim and iprodione; the third multi-member VCG contained isolates with different patterns of resistance. Four morphological types were revealed among wild-type strains: conidial (five strains), sclerotial (six strains), intermediate (ten strains), and mycelial (one strain). On bean leaves, conidial strains were more aggressive than sclerotial strains.  相似文献

One hundred and sixteen isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae obtained from 85 fields in three crisphead lettuce-producing areas in Nagano Prefecture, Japan were typed for races using differential cultivars Patriot, Banchu Red Fire and Costa Rica No. 4. They were also grouped into vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) using complementation tests with nitrate non-utilizing (nit) mutants. Two California strains reported as F. oxysporum f. sp. lactucum, a type culture of F. oxysporum f. sp. lactucae, and 28 avirulent isolates of F. oxysporum obtained from crisphead lettuce were included for comparison. Among Nagano isolates, 66 isolates were identified as race 1, and 50 as race 2. Race 1 strains derived from Shiojiri and Komoro cities and race 2 from Kawakami village and Komoro city. All isolates of race 2 were biotin auxotrophs, and the race could be distinguished based on its requirement for biotin on minimal nitrate agar medium (MM). Pathogenic isolates were classified into two VCGs and three heterokaryon self-incompatible isolates. Strong correlations were found between race and VCG. All the race 1 strains were assigned to VCG 1 except self-incompatible isolates, and all the race 2 strains to VCG 2. The 28 avirulent isolates of F. oxysporum were incompatible with VCG 1 and VCG 2. California strains was vegetatively compatible with VCG 1, and they were assigned to race 1. Based on vegetative compatibility, these two races of F. oxysporum f. sp. lactucae may be genetically distinct, and F. oxysporum f. sp. lactucae race 1 is identical to F. oxysporum f. sp. lactucum.

Gibberella zeae (anamorph Fusarium graminearum) is the main pathogen causing Fusarium head blight of wheat in Argentina. The objective of this study was to determine the vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) and mycotoxin production (deoxynivalenol, nivalenol and 3-acetyl deoxynivalenol) by F. graminearum populations isolated from wheat in Argentina. VCGs were determined among 70 strains of F. graminearum isolated from three localities in Argentina, using nitrate non-utilizing (nit) mutants. Out of 367 nit mutants generated, 41% utilized both nitrite and hypoxanthine (nit1), 45% utilized hypoxanthine but not nitrite (nit3), 9% utilized nitrite but not hypoxanthine (NitM) and 5% utilized all the nitrogen sources (crn). The complementations were done by pairing the mutants on nitrate medium. Fifty-five different VCGs were identified and the overall VCG diversity (number of VCGs/number of isolates) averaged over the three locations was 0.78. Forty-eight strains were incompatible with all others, thus each of these strains constituted a unique VCG. Twenty-two strains were compatible with other isolates and were grouped in seven multimembers VCGs. Considering each population separately, the VCG diversity was 0.84, 0.81 and 1.0 for San Antonio de Areco, Alberti and Marcos Juarez, respectively. Toxin analysis revealed that of the 70 strains of F. graminearum tested, only 90% produced deoxynivalenol, 10% were able to produce deoxynivalenol and very low amounts of 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol. No isolate produced nivalenol. The results indicate a high degree of VCG diversity in the F. graminearum populations from wheat in Argentina. This diversity should be considered when screening wheat germplasm for Fusarium head blight resistance.  相似文献

Auxotrophic mutants were used to determine vegetative relatedness among isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. dianthi (F.o.d.) , the vascular wilt pathogen of carnation. At the first stage, different nitrate-non-utilizing (nit) mutants were produced from 11 isolates of F.o.d. collected in Israel. Complementation (heterokaryon) tests showed that all the isolates belonged to a single vegetative compatibility group (VCG), and two mutants were chosen as its testers. Additional isolates of Fusarium from carnation, collected during 1986-88, were analysed for pathogenicity and vegetative compatibility with the testers. A total of 170 Fusarium isolates, obtained from 42 cultivars at 40 sites, were tested. All the nit mutants of all the 132 pathogenic isolates formed heterokaryons with the testers, indicating that they belonged to the same VCG. None of the 38 non-pathogenic isolates was vegetatively compatible with the testers. The nit mutants retained pathogenicity to carnation. The F.o.d. testers were not compatible with testers of five other formae speciales of F. oxysporum. Thus, F.o.d. appears to constitute a distinct genetic population within the F. oxysporum complex.  相似文献

ABSTRACT A total of 540 isolates of Pyricularia grisea from rice in the United States were examined for vegetative compatibility, MGR586 DNA fingerprint diversity, and mating type based on hybridization with the mat1-1 and mat1-2 sexual mating type alleles. The collections contained both archived and contemporary field isolates representative of the known MGR586 lineages and races that occur throughout the United States. Complementary nitrate nonutilizing (nit) or sulfate nonutilizing (sul) mutants were used to assess vegetative compatibility in P. grisea. There was a complete correspondence between vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs), MGR586 lineage, and mating type among 527 contemporary isolates (collected between 1991 and 1997) from Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, and Texas; all isolates in MGR586 lineages A, B, C, and D belonged to VCGs US-01, US-02, US-03, and US-04, respectively. In addition, all isolates tested in VCGs US-01 and US-04 had the mat1-1 mating type allele whereas those in VCGs US-02 and US-03 had the mat1-2 allele. The strict association of independent markers during this sample period was consistent with a strictly asexual mode of reproduction. However, examination of archived isolates collected in the 1970s and 1980s and contemporary isolates revealed an incongruent relationship between the independent markers. MGR586 C and E isolates were vegetatively compatible which indicated that multiple robust MGR586 delineated lineages could be nested within certain VCGs. Although isolates in lineages C and E were vegetatively compatible, they were of opposite mating type. Several hypotheses, including recombination, could account for the incongruence between the various markers. Among the eight MGR586 lineages (A through H) that occur in the United States, all isolates in lineages A, D, E, G, and H had the mat1-1 allele, whereas isolates in lineages B, C, and F had the mat1-2 allele. Nit mutants can be recovered relatively easy from P. grisea and should allow large numbers of individuals within a population to be assessed for vegetative compatibility. VCGs may prove to be an effective multilocus marker in P. grisea. Thus, VCGs should be a useful means for characterizing genetic structure in populations of the rice blast fungus worldwide, provide a useful genetic framework to assist in interpreting molecular population data, and may provide insight into potential sexual or asexual recombination events.  相似文献

Mating behaviour and vegetative compatibility were studied in Spanish populations of Botryotinia fuckeliana. Fifty-seven isolates out of the 61 tested were sexually fertile with one or more of the reference strains of known mating type (MAT1-1 or MAT1-2). Thirty-nine isolates were heterothallic, giving fertile crosses when mated with the MAT1-1 (24 isolates) or the MAT1-2 (15 isolates) reference strain. Eighteen isolates crossed successfully with both MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 reference strains, and were referred to as homothallic or MAT1-1/2. Both mating types were widespread, being represented in isolates from two regions, from the same and different greenhouses, from different hosts, and from different years of isolation. Isolates were paired on Malt Extract Agar + NaCl to evaluate vegetative compatibility. Most of the paired isolates were unable to fuse and showed a different reaction of incompatibility. Nitrate-non-utilising (nit) mutants were selected by growth on a medium amended with 30–50gl–1 potassium chlorate. Over 600 chlorate-resistant sectors were recovered from 40 isolates at a mean frequency of 0.15–2.39 sectors per colony, but only 11% were identified as nit mutants by their thin growth with no aerial mycelium on minimal medium. However, most of these nit mutants reverted to wild type during six months of storage on chlorate-amended medium. Genetic complementation between nit mutants occurred only in two cases between mutants from the same isolate.  相似文献

 Fourteen strains of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense were induced to produce 146 nitrate-nonutilizing(nit) mutants on a chlorate-containing medium. Among them, there were 117 nit1 mutants(80.14%), 17 nit3 mutants(11.64%) and 12 nitM mutants(8.22%). These strains were divided into two vegetative compatibility groups(VCGs) by the vegetative compatibility tests. Twelve strains of F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense from Musa AAA belonged to VCG1, two trains from Musa ABB belonged to VCG2.  相似文献

In a study of vegetative compatibility in Verticillium dahliae in the Netherlands, a collection of 45 isolates including representatives from woody hosts, several horticultural crops and from the soil of potato fields was examined. In addition an effort was made to compare vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) from different countries. The results of this study indicate that VCG diversity in V. dahliae in the Netherlands is limited. Only two VCGs were detected: VCG NL-I and VCG NL-II. The former is the predominant VCG for isolates from tree hosts. However, Verticillium wilt in trees can be caused by isolates from both VCGs. It is suggested that the predominance of VCG NL-I in tree hosts is the result of the origin of the tree and the cropping history of its growing site, rather than trees being preferential hosts for isolates from this VCG. Comparison of VCG testers from the Netherlands, from several other European countries and from the USA show that in Europe two major VCGs are present. The first one, including NL-I, is compatible with USA VCG 3 and VCG 4, whereas the second one, including NL-II, is compatible with USA VCG 1 and VCG 2. These groups are not completely separated; in some cases, testers formed heterokaryons with VCG testers from both main groups. Because of the presence of these bridge isolates and because mutants from the same isolate differ in ability to form heterokaryons, it is emphasised that careful selection of isolate testers is an essential step to get a clear picture of VCG diversity.  相似文献

Heterokaryon compatibility was tested by pairing complementary auxotrophic mutants of three fluctuating (M18, M33 and M50) and three progressive (PV1, PV2 and PV3) hop wilt isolates of Verticillitim albo–atrum . The criteria of compatibility adopted were prototrophic growth on a glucose minimal medium at 26°C and the presence of diploid conidia. Most pairings produced at least some heterozygous diploids, showing there was no complete incompatibility barrier to hyphal and nuclear fusion on an agar medium. The incidence of prototrophic diploidy was greater within paired mutants of progressive isolates, and between PV1 and the three fluctuating isolates. A recombinant haploid prototroph was re–isolated following inoculation of Antirrhinum plants with a pair of complementary auxotrophs (M18 nic -4 cob -26 and PV3 arg -8 pyr -2). In hop, this recombinant was of intermediate pathogenicity compared with the two parental wild–type isolates. Four large–spored, diploid isolates were obtained from Antirrhinum following inoculation with heterozygous diploid conidia (M18 nic -4 cob -26/PV3 arg -8 pyr -2) from diploids synthesized on agar. All four diploids remained stable on agar and one showed moderately high pathogenicity in hop, from which it was re–isolated as a stable diploid 10 weeks later.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Vegetative compatibility has been used to assess the population biology of many fungal plant pathogens. However, for many species, including Fusarium graminearum, this has meant making auxotrophic mutants to force heterokaryon formation. A method was developed to observe barrage zones of thick, raised mycelium at the junctions of vegetatively incompatible F. graminearum isolates. The appearance of the barrage zones was influenced by the growth medium and the light. Barrage zones on V8 agar were thicker and better defined than those on potato dextrose agar, Spezieller Nahrstoffarmer agar, and water agar. The addition of ground wheat kernels to V8 agar enhanced barrage zone formation. Incubating the cultures under constant light at 2,150 lx produced more distinct barrage zones than constant light at 3,400 lx, constant darkness, or ambient room light. Forty-three F. graminearum isolates from 34 vegetative compatibility groups, determined previously using nit auxotrophic mutants, were paired in all combinations using these optimized conditions. Isolates in different vegetative compatibility groups typically formed distinct, thick barrage zones at their junctions. Pairs of isolates in the same vegetative compatibility group had a very slight or no visible reaction, or rarely, a distinct "line gap" of sparse mycelium. Subcultures from the same isolate typically had no visible reaction at their colony junctions; however, subcultures from some isolates had thin, slight barrage zones. This method was used to identify the proportion of each of four F. graminearum isolates from infected barley spikes in the field, inoculated previously with a mixture of conidia from these four isolates. Barrage zone formation represents a rapid method to screen vegetative compatibility groups in F. graminearum and may be useful for other Fusarium species.  相似文献

One hundred and fourteen isolates of Verticillium dahliae obtained from cotton and eggplant in mainland China were successfully assigned to two vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) except for one self-incompatible isolate. Eleven isolates were strongly compatible with T9, the tester strain of the cotton defoliating pathotype, forming a linear growth of wild type with abundant microsclerotia and dense mycelia between compatible nitrate-nonutilizing mutants. The remaining 102 isolates were grouped into the non-defoliating VCG2, although the strength of the reaction varied; some isolates were strongly compatible with the tester strain while others were only slightly compatible. All VCG1 isolates including T9 showed the same defoliating symptom in greenhouse inoculation tests. This study confirmed the presence of the defoliating pathotype (VCG1) of V. dahliae in mainland China.  相似文献
