Root Rot of Miniature Roses Caused by Pythium helicoides

Miniature roses growing in an ebb-and-flow watering system developed dieback during the summer growing season of 1996 in Gifu Prefecture. The main diagnostic symptoms were chlorosis of leaf followed by blight, and a brown, water-soaked root rot followed by dieback. Pythium isolates were recovered from the rotted root. The isolates form proliferous ellipsoidal papillate sporangia, spherical smooth oogonia, elongate antheridia, and aplerotic oospores. The optimum temperature for hyphal growth was 35°C with a growth rate of 34 mm/24 hr. Optimum temperature of zoospore formation (25-30°C) was lower than that of mycelial growth, and zoospores were produced even at 10°C. The isolates were identified as P. helicoides on the basis of these characteristics. In pathogenicity tests disease severity was highest at the highest tested temperature (35°C) at which the disease naturally occurred in summer. Four days after inoculation, the leaves turned yellow and the roots had a water-soaked rot, followed by leaf blight and root dieback after 7 days. The disease transmission test showed that diseased plants were found throughout the bench after 10 days. Received 4 July 2001/ Accepted in revised form 10 October 2001     

Black Rot of Artichoke Leaves Caused by Two Phoma Species in Japan

Phoma macrostoma var. incolorata and P. exigua var. exigua were isolated from leaf spots of artichoke in Mie Prefecture, Japan in June 1997. Colonies of P. macrostoma var. incolorata grew fast, pigmented the medium vinous without staining the mycelium, and changed blue with NaOH. Conidial size in culture was 3 to 10 μm × 2 to 4.5 μm. Colonies of P. exigua var. exigua grew fast without pigmentation and changed yellow-green with NaOH. The conidia were sometimes septate, and size of aseptate conidia was 4 to 9.5 μm × 2 to 3.5 μm. These fungi produced gray, round spots on artichoke leaves. This report is the first on the occurrence of artichoke black rot caused by P. macrostoma var. incolorata and P. exigua var. exigua in Japan.

Growth of Glucose-uptake-deficient Mutant of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae in Rice Leaves

We isolated Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae mutants deficient in the phosphoenolpyruvate : carbohydrate phos-photransferase system, a major glucose transport system in bacteria, using the glucose analogue 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-d-glucose (3FG). Glucose uptake by the mutants was decreased to 15–35% of the parental strain, and growth greatly decreased in synthetic media containing glucose as a sole sugar source. Growth of the mutants in rice leaves was, however, similar to the wild type. These findings suggest that glucose is not necessarily a major carbohydrate source for X. o. pv. oryzae in rice leaves.

Growth Complementation of hrpXo Mutants of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae by Virulent Strains in Rice Cultivars Resistant and Susceptible to the Parental Strain

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (X. o. pv. oryzae) T7174 is virulent on rice cultivar IR24 and avirulent on IR-BB2. From recent reports, some virulence and avirulence factors of plant pathogenic bacteria are transferred to plant cells through the hrp-dependent type III secretion system. In this study, we investigated the involvement of hrp genes in the compatible and the incompatible interactions between rice and X. o. pv. oryzae after co-inoculation with hrpXo mutants derived from T7174 and virulent strains. Growth of the mutants, named 74ΔHrpXo and 76ΔHrpXo, was repressed in IR24 when the mutants were applied alone. However, growth of the mutants was complemented by co-inoculation with virulent strains. Growth of bioluminescent hrpXo mutant 76ΔHrpXo in IR24 and its growth in IR-BB2 after co-inoculation with T7133, which is virulent on both cultivars, was equally complemented, as detected by bioluminescence from the mutant. On the other hand, only partial complementation of growth of T7174L76, which is a bioluminescent and pathogenic derivative of T7174, by T7133 was observed in IR-BB2. Thus, growth of the hrpXo mutant of X. o. pv. oryzae was complemented by virulent strains in both susceptible and resistant rice leaves with the parental strain.

水稻白叶枯病菌和细菌性条斑病菌的分子标记筛选及检测

 水稻白叶枯病菌（Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae）和细菌性条斑病菌(Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola)是水稻种子产地检疫中最重要的两种检疫对象,且同属于水稻黄单胞杆菌。本研究基于生物信息学技术构建比较基因组学算法对两种病原的全基因组序列比对分析,得到一系列能够区分两种病原的特异性PCR引物。结合简单的PCR技术及全自动DNA分析系统,我们选取了12对引物分别对23株水稻白叶枯病菌和5株水稻细菌性条斑病菌及其它相关菌株进行验证。结果获得了2对显性标记(Xoo-Hpa1和Xoc-ORF2)以及3对共显性分子标记(M568、M897和M1575)可以达到理想的区分检测两种病原的效果。分子标记的检测灵敏度从5×10⁴到5 × 10⁷cfu·mL^-1不等,且从水稻种子浸提液中也能成功地检测水稻白叶枯病菌和细菌性条斑病菌。本研究丰富了检测标记的靶位点,并有效的结合了高通量检测的手段对多位点联合分析,增强了检测的可靠性,有望在今后的植物检疫及病原鉴定中发挥着重要的作用。     

云南高原粳稻白叶枯病菌毒素及其与致病性关系

 为了探寻云南高原粳稻白叶枯病菌间毒素的差异及毒素与病菌致病性的关系,本研究选用致病性差异较大的3个云南高原粳稻白叶枯病菌株,采用乙酸乙酯法提取其毒素,用水稻幼苗浸根法和种子发芽抑制法测定毒素粗提物的生物活性,并用TLC法分析毒素组分及组分含量的差异。结果表明3个菌株单细胞产毒素量与菌株的致病性强弱成正相关;供试的3个菌株,无论其致病力强弱,其产生的毒素只要有足够的量,都能抑制水稻种子发芽,也能使水稻幼苗萎蔫,且毒素浓度越高,作用越明显;菌株间毒素组分和组分含量存在差异,一些特异的组分是否与其致病性有关,需要深入研究。     

木质部次生细胞壁增厚参与疣粒野生稻对黄单胞杆菌水稻变种的抗性

 黄单胞杆菌水稻变种（Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae,Xoo）引起的水稻白叶枯病是一个世界性的严重病害。疣粒野生稻（Oryzae meyeriana）对Xoo具有高度抗性,但其抗性机制仍不清楚。本文以抗病的疣粒野生稻和感病的水稻品种大粒香为材料,研究了Xoo侵染对叶片病斑、叶绿体超微结构、光合系统活性和木质部超微结构的影响。结果表明,多种Xoo生理小种导致的疣粒野生稻叶片病斑长度都明显短于大粒香叶片的病斑长度。Xoo病菌侵染显著破坏了大粒香的叶绿体结构,明显抑制了其光合活性,而疣粒野生稻中的变化要轻得多。通过电镜切片,发现疣粒野生稻叶片导管内存在大量的Xoo病菌,这表明Xoo能够侵染疣粒野生稻且能够在叶片内增殖。病菌的侵染诱导了疣粒野生稻木质部次生细胞壁的增厚,抑制了病菌通过导管纹孔向邻近细胞的进一步侵染,这种反应可能参与了疣粒野生稻对Xoo的抗性。

hrp基因关键调控因子HrpG在水稻白叶枯病菌和条斑病菌中的交叉互补性研究

 水稻白叶枯病菌(Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, Xoo)和条斑病菌(X. oryzae pv. oryzicola, Xoc)在非寄主烟草上产生过敏反应(HR)和在寄主水稻上具有致病性,是由hrp致病岛决定的,其中HrpG为关键调控因子。Xoo和Xoc侵染水稻途径和在水稻上产生病害症状的不同,是否与hrpG基因有关,还不清楚。本研究利用反向遗传学方法获得了Xoo和Xoc的hrpG突变体PΔhrpG和RΔhrpG,并用hrpG_Xoo基因和hrpG_Xoc基因分别互补上述2个突变体,获得了相应的互补菌株。致病性测定结果显示,PΔhrpG和RΔhrpG突变体丧失了在水稻上的致病性和在非寄主烟草上产生HR的能力,而hrpG_Xoo基因和hrpG_Xoc基因可分别互补上述突变体至野生型水平。利用GUS报告基因检测基因启动子活性发现,hrpG_Xoo和hrpG_Xoc的启动子活性没有显著差别;RT-PCR和Western杂交结果显示,hrpG基因交叉互补菌株中HrpG调控的下游基因hrpX、hpaR、hrcT、hpa2和hrpD6的表达没有差异,且III型分泌系统分泌蛋白Hpa2的分泌性没有受到影响。这些结果表明,稻黄单胞菌hrpG基因可在Xoo和Xoc中交叉互置,位于其上游和下游的调控途径可能相似,而决定Xoo和Xoc在水稻上的侵染途径以及所致病害症状差异可能与hrpG基因位点无关。

Expression of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Xanthomonas oryzae </Emphasis>pv. <Emphasis Type="Italic">oryzae hrp</Emphasis> Genes in XOM2, a Novel Synthetic Medium

To analyze the regulation of hrp expression and to detect and identify hrp-dependent secretion proteins of plant-pathogenic bacteria, an appropriate hrp-inducing medium is indispensable. In this study, two efficient hrp-inducing media for Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae were designed by assaying the expression of a hrcU (the first gene of the hrpC operon) and a gus (β-glucuronidase) fusion gene. We modified XVM2, which is a hrp-inducing medium for X. campestris pv. vesicatoria, by adding 0.01% xylose in place of fructose and sucrose (0.18 and 0.34%, respectively) as a sugar source. The resulting medium induced approximately 15-fold more GUS activity from transformants containing a hrcU::gus gene than did XVM2. Moreover, a methionine-containing synthetic medium with 0.18% xylose as a sugar source was able to induce much stronger expression of HrcU::GUS, with GUS activity approximately 100-fold greater than that in XVM2. Induction depended on a regulator, HrpXo, and the PIP (plant-inducible-promoter) box, suggesting that HrcU::GUS was expressed in a hrp-dependent manner. The induction of operons hrpA to hrpF in XOM2 was also confirmed. These results suggest that both media, especially XOM2, are highly efficient hrp-inducing media for X. oryzae pv. oryzae.

Notes on the Occurrence of Pathogenic Races of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Xanthomonas oryzae </Emphasis>pv. <Emphasis Type="Italic">oryzae </Emphasis>Found in Hiroshima Prefecture in 1999

The pathogenic race of 59 cultures of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, a pathogen of bacterial leaf blight of rice, isolated from six locations in the inland mountainous area of Hiroshima Prefecture in 1999, were determined by a set of traditional differentials. Four races—I, II, V and VII—were found across the area; however, we noticed the composition of the races as well as the dominant race in each location different. All races were avirulent on differential cultivar Te-tep. Races V and VII were new to Hiroshima. The rice cultivars infected with bacterial leaf blight in Hiroshima are thought to be grouped into the Kinmaze group, which does not have any resistance genes. Apparently, a variety of races occurred unexpectedly on the cultivars contrary to stabilizing selection theory. Received 25 February 2000/ Accepted in revised form 13 July 2000     

菠萝泛菌与水稻白叶枯病菌双重PCR检测方法的建立与应用

近年来水稻发生了一种由菠萝泛菌Pantoea ananatis引起的新型细菌病害,其发生时期与白叶枯病相近,病症与白叶枯病类似。为了实现该病害与白叶枯病的快速检测,本研究基于泛菌属看家基因acnA,通过序列比对,设计了22对特异性引物,分别与已知的白叶枯病菌检测引物XOO80进行配对并筛选,建立了一种双重PCR检测方法,可从菠萝泛菌和白叶枯病菌中分别扩增出910 bp和162 bp的特异性条带,而其他10种非目标细菌均未有扩增条带,25μL体系中可稳定地从至少1 pg/μL的基因组DNA模板中扩增出特异性条带。本研究建立的菠萝泛菌与水稻白叶枯病菌双重PCR检测方法具有良好的特异性和灵敏度,为水稻细菌病害病原鉴定及防治提供了技术支撑。

哈茨木霉NF9菌株对水稻的诱导抗病性

在温室条件下用哈茨木霉NF9菌株进行种子处理，诱导水稻感病品种原丰早幼苗对稻-瘟病和白叶枯病的抗病性，其抗性水平为中抗，对稻瘟病菌不同菌株(SYl、H16)以及对白叶枯病菌不同菌株(CRl、CR7)的抗性表现无显著差异。经木霉种子处理的水稻幼苗接种稻瘟病菌或白叶枯病菌后，过氧化物酶及苯丙氨酸转氨酶活性增强，在某一时段显著高于未经木霉种子处理的对照。诱导抗性可能是哈茨木霉NF9菌株的生防机制之一。
