Isolation of Pathogenicity Mutants of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis by Insertional Mutagenesis

Restriction enzyme-mediated integration (REMI) mutagenesis was used to isolate mutants of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis impaired in pathogenicity. The race 2 strain Mel02010 was transformed with linearized pSH75, conferring resistance to hygromycin B, with or without the enzyme used to linearize the plasmid. Addition of restriction enzymes did not affect the transformation frequency. A total of 2929 REMI transformants were tested for pathogenicity to three melon cultivars, Amus, Ogon 9 and Ohi. The race 2 strains are pathogenic to Amus and Ogon 9, but not to Ohi. Of 43 transformants with reduced pathogenicity on susceptible melon cultivars, 12 mutants were examined in detail for pathogenicity, vegetative growth and integrative mode of pSH75. The levels of pathogenicity varied among these mutants. Two mutants (B48 and B137) almost completely lost pathogenicity to both susceptible cultivars, and the others had reduced pathogenicity. Mutants B48, B241, B886 and X36 were also impaired in vegetative growth. Mutant B809 was a biotin auxotroph. By DNA gel blot analysis, nine mutants were found to contain a single copy of the transformation vector. These mutants may thus be useful in isolating genes involved in pathogenicity.

Development of a Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis functional GFP fluorescence tool to assist melon resistance breeding programmes

Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis (Fom), is one of the most widespread and devastating melon diseases. This vascular disease is caused by the colonization of melon xylem vessels by any of the four Fom races reported (r0, r1, r2 and r1,2, subdivided into r1,2w and r1,2y). The macroscopic evaluation of disease symptoms (disease rating, DR) at several days post‐inoculation (dpi) with Fom spores has been the traditional method to determine the resistance of melon accessions to this fungal pathogen. In this study, one isolate from each Fom race was transformed by Agrobacterium tumefaciens to constitutively express the green fluorescent protein (GFP). Fom‐GFP transformants, as virulent as the corresponding wildtype races, were selected to develop an inoculation assay based on the non‐invasive evaluation of the fluorescence emitted by Fom‐GFP. It was determined that melon root neck was the appropriate area to follow Fom‐GFP and a fluorescence signal rating (FSR) was established in parallel to DR determination. This method allowed the evaluation of GFP signal in the root neck of inoculated melon seedlings at 11–15 dpi. The GFP signal was scored in 62 melon accessions/breeding lines inoculated with different Fom‐GFP, followed by evaluation of the macroscopic DR in the aerial part of melon seedlings at 20–28 dpi. Correlation analysis demonstrated a direct and significant relationship between FSR and DR. This method has shown to be an effective and reliable tool that can assist Fom resistance breeding programmes in melon.     

Characterization of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum attacking melon under natural conditions in Greece

A severe root and stem rot disease of melon was observed during the 2001 growing season on four glasshouse crops in Heraklio, Greece. A total of 43 isolates of F. oxysporum , obtained in Crete from glasshouse-grown melon and showing fusarium wilt or root and stem rot symptoms, were characterized by pathogenicity and vegetative compatibility. The majority of these isolates was also fingerprinted via amplified fragment length polymorphic (AFLP) analysis. Of the total number of isolates, 22 were identified by pathogenicity tests as F. oxysporum f. sp. melonis , 20 as F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum , while one isolate was nonpathogenic on cucumber, melon, sponge gourd and pumpkin. All 22 isolates of F. oxysporum f. sp. melonis were assigned to vegetative compatibility group (VCG) 0134, and all 20 isolates of F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum to VCG 0260. Isolates of F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum were incompatible with isolates of F. oxysporum f. sp. melonis. AFLP fingerprinting allowed for the clustering of the isolates of the two formae speciales of F. oxysporum along two separate phenetic groups: f. sp. melonis to AFLP major haplotype I, and f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum to AFLP major haplotype II. Overall, pathogenicity, vegetative compatibility grouping and AFLP analysis were correlated and effectively distinguished isolates of F. oxysporum from melon. This appears to be the first report of natural infection of melon by F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum worldwide.     

Physiological Races and Vegetative Compatibility Groups of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae Isolated from Crisphead Lettuce in Japan

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.

 采自新疆24个不同植棉县(市或团场)的37株棉花枯萎病菌代表菌株,经人工接种于国际通用鉴别寄主,致病性反应均表现为典型的7号生理小种特征。RAPD分析结果也显示出这37个供试菌株与7号小种各对照菌株间基因组DNA的指纹图谱高度相似,属同一遗传相似组,而与3号和8号小种的对照菌株间遗传差异较大,亲缘关系较远,即7号生理小种是组成目前新疆棉花枯萎病菌群体的优势小种,而原分布于新疆吐鲁番等地的3号小种在本研究中未被发现。结合部分自选辅助鉴别寄主对其中18个菌株进行的致病力分化研究表明,在7号小种内部还存在着侵染力的分化,显示出棉花枯萎病菌较强的变异性和适应性。     

黄瓜枯萎病菌拮抗菌的筛选、鉴定和防效测定

为获得对黄瓜枯萎病菌Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum(FOC)具有拮抗作用的生防菌株,采用稀释涂布平板和平板生长对峙法从健康黄瓜根际土壤中分离、筛选对FOC具有强拮抗能力的拮抗细菌,并从形态学观察、生理生化特性、全细胞脂肪酸分析及16S rRNA和gyr B基因序列相似性对拮抗能力最强的菌株进行鉴定,同时测定拮抗菌无菌过滤发酵液对FOC菌丝生长、孢子萌发的抑制作用,并评价其发酵液对盆栽和大田黄瓜枯萎病的防治效果。研究结果显示,从健康黄瓜根际土壤中分离获得23株对FOC具有拮抗作用的细菌,其中菌株FJ17-4对FOC抑菌作用最强,鉴定为贝莱斯芽胞杆菌Bacillus velezensis。FJ17-4抑制FOC引起菌丝畸形、扭曲、膨胀、皱缩、缠绕等异常现象。10%无菌过滤液对FOC菌丝生长和孢子萌发的抑制率分别为70.96%和85.40%。50倍发酵液、菌体悬浮液和无菌过滤液盆栽防治效果分别为70.20%、58.87%和47.80%,大田防治效果分别为69.53%、58.46%和36.12%。综上,FJ17-4能有效抑制FOC,对黄瓜枯萎病具有显...     

假单胞菌对香蕉枯萎病菌的抑制作用

从已感染香蕉枯萎病的果园中分离到1株对香蕉枯萎病菌（Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cubense）抑制作用很好的菌种,命名为G1。采用固体和液体培养法从不同角度证实了G1对香蕉枯萎病菌生长的抑制作用。结果表明,G1的发酵液、无菌滤液、挥发性物质、非挥发性代谢产物的平均抑菌率分别为92.5%、27.4%、73.8%、57.7%,可见抑制作用与活菌体有直接关系,其中产生挥发性物质尤其重要。液体培养的病原菌浓度为1.0×107cfu/mL经G1作用10d后,取样镜检发现G1通过抑制病原菌菌丝正常生长以至不能产孢,从而导致菌丝消融;通过吸附在孢子的周围,融解细胞壁,造成原生质泄露致使孢子死亡。

香蕉枯萎病生防菌对杀虫剂的适应性研究

将4株香蕉枯萎病生防细菌bio ZK11、bio HN2、bio HN10和bio F4分别与杀虫剂噻唑磷、毒死蜱、辛硫磷混合,测定其混合液对香蕉枯萎病病菌孢子萌发的抑制作用以及杀虫剂对生防菌生长繁殖的影响。结果显示,噻唑磷对生防菌bio ZK11的抑菌作用没有影响,而毒死蜱和辛硫磷增强bio ZK11的抑菌作用;噻唑磷和毒死蜱增强bio HN2的抑菌作用,辛硫磷则对bio HN2的抑菌作用没有影响;噻唑磷、毒死蜱和辛硫磷增强了生防菌bio HN10的抑菌作用;噻唑磷、毒死蜱和辛硫磷对生防菌bio F4的抑菌作用没有影响。辛硫磷对生防菌bio HN2的菌落生长有一定的影响,对另外3种生防菌没有影响;噻唑磷对4种生防菌菌落大小都没有影响;毒死蜱对香蕉枯萎病生防菌bio HN10的菌落大小没有影响,但使生防菌bio ZK11、bio HN2和bio F4的菌落变小。3种杀虫剂除了对生防菌bio F4的生长量没有显著影响,对其他3种拮抗菌的生长都有一定的影响。     

香蕉枯萎病菌侵染香蕉根系的组织学过程

 为探明香蕉枯萎病菌侵染香蕉根系的过程,利用绿色荧光蛋白标记的香蕉枯萎病菌4号生理小种（Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense race 4 tagged with green fluorescent protein,GFP-FOC4）,接种香蕉根系以观察病原菌侵染香蕉根系的组织学过程。结果表明,接种1 d后病原菌以菌丝体、大型分生孢子和小型分生孢子的形式附着于根系表皮细胞,优先沿细胞胞间层生长。接种7 d后,观察到病原菌以菌丝体、大型分生孢子和小型分生孢子的形式直接侵染维管束,在维管束内以两种方式扩展繁殖,一种在维管束内横向扩展,菌丝体随机分支,逐步形成网状分布;另一种是菌丝体在维管束内纵向生长,倾向于呈束状沿维管束单侧生长繁殖,形成大量菌丝体。本研究首次从组织病理学的角度观察并分析了GFP-FOC4侵染香蕉根系的过程,为研究香蕉枯萎病菌的致病过程机理提供参考。     

香蕉枯萎病菌RAPD分析及4号生理小种的快速检测

 用随机扩增多态性DNA(RAPD)技术,对采自广东、广西的香蕉和粉蕉上的30个香蕉枯萎病菌(Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cubense)菌株和3个其它尖孢镰刀菌专化型的菌株进行比较及聚类分析。在遗传相似系数0.67时,可将供试菌株划分为3个RAPD群(RGs),其中香蕉枯萎病菌4号生理小种(FOC4)共15个菌株属于RGⅠ,1号生理小种(FOC1)共15个菌株属于RGⅡ,供试的其它尖孢镰刀菌专化型的3个菌株则属于RGⅢ。这说明香蕉枯萎病菌和供试3个其它专化型菌株与致病性间存在明显的相关性。1号生理小种内菌株间的遗传分化大于4号生理小种内菌株间的遗传分化。从90条RAPD随机引物中筛选出2条引物可产生4号生理小种的RAPD标记2个。将这2个RAPD标记电泳切胶回收、克隆及测序,并根据这2个特异片段序列设计SCAR上下游特异引物,通过对30个菌株的PCR扩增检验,其中一个RAPD标记成功地转化为SCAR标记,初步建立了以此为基础的4号生理小种快速检测技术,其检测灵敏度为2 ng新鲜菌丝。对采自不同地区的显症样品、吸芽、室内接种未显症的香蕉苗以及发病的香蕉植株不同部位进行检测,能够准确灵敏地鉴定出4号生理小种,从而为香蕉枯萎病菌的快速检测及防治奠定了基础。同时,快速检测结果发现,田间发病植株果柄的各部位及果实内并没有枯萎病菌的存在。     

香蕉枯萎病菌1号和4号生理小种细胞壁降解酶的比较

西瓜枯萎病菌遗传多样性的相关序列扩增多态性分析

对30个西瓜枯萎病菌Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.niveum菌株基因组DNA进行相关序列扩增多态性(SRAP)分子标记分析,以探究其遗传多样性与地理来源的关系。采用尖孢镰刀菌西瓜专化型Fusarium oxysporumf.sp.niveum0、1、2号生理小种的基因组DNA为模板,对225对SRAP引物进行筛选,筛选出20对多态性、重复性较好且条带清晰的引物,对30个菌株进行PCR扩增,共扩增出386条带,其中多态性条带有371条,多态性比率为96.11%,平均每对引物扩增出19.3个位点和18.55个多态性位点。UPGMA法聚类分析结果显示,供试菌株两两之间的遗传相似系数范围为0.69~0.90,平均为0.79,说明尖孢镰刀菌西瓜专化型的遗传多样性较为丰富。基于SRAP标记聚类分析表明,30个菌株在遗传相似系数为0.70处被划分为3个类群,I类群包含24个菌株,其中18个来自湖南省,Ⅱ类群只包含1个来自黑龙江省哈尔滨市的菌株,它和另一个来自黑龙江地区的菌株被划分到不同的类群,且遗传距离相对较远;Ⅲ类群包含了5个菌株,其中3个来自海南三亚,其余两个来自湖南省。根据菌株的分布情况来看,菌株的聚集与地理来源没有明显的相关性。
