Infection of potato and wheat by isolates of Rhizoctonia solani and R. cerealis

Isolates of Rhizoctonia were obtained from potato crops with stem canker or black scurf and from cereal crops with sharp eyespot. Those with many nuclei per cell, wide cells, darkening colonies and fast growth were assigned to R. solani ; those with two nuclei per cell, narrow cells, pale colonies and slow growth were assigned to R. cerealis . Only R. solani was obtained from potatoes and only R. cerealis from cereals. On young plants in the glasshouse, the isolates of R. solani infected potato substantially but not wheat; R. cerealis infected wheat substantially and potato slightly. This host preference was shown at temperatures between 10 and 25°C in growth rooms. R. solani on potato caused more disease with increasing temperature; no trend with temperature was observed for R. cerealis on wheat.     

小麦纹枯病菌的分子检测

小麦茎基部可寄居多种真菌,并可导致发褐、坏死等症状,与小麦纹枯病相混淆.为准确诊断小麦纹枯病,根据江苏省小麦茎基部常见寄居菌禾谷丝核菌Rhizoctonia cerealis、立枯丝核菌Rhizoctonia solani、长蠕孢菌Helminthosporium spp.、交链孢菌Alternaria spp.、小麦全蚀病菌Gaeumannomyces graminis var.tritici和禾谷镰刀菌Fsarium graminearum rDNA的ITS区段序列差别,设计合成了2对特异性扩增引物(DNF77 DNR554,DNF81 DNR564)用于小麦纹枯病菌检测.2对引物均能从小麦纹枯病菌株扩增到特异性的分子片段,说明设计的特异性引物可以用来检测小麦纹枯病菌.采集田间具有小麦纹枯病症状、茎基部变褐及健康麦苗,进行病原菌分离,同时提取这些麦苗茎基部DNA,利用上述2对引物进行扩增.结果表明,仅从能分离到禾谷丝核菌的麦组织中扩增到约480bp的特异性条带.说明设计的特异性引物可以对田间小麦纹枯病进行早期、快速分子诊断.     

利用荧光定量PCR检测禾谷丝核菌的相对生物量

小麦纹枯病是以禾谷丝核菌(Rhizoctonia cerealis)侵染为主的小麦土传病害。为建立检测禾谷丝核菌在寄主小麦(Triticum aestivum)中的相对生物量的可靠方法,促进小麦抗纹枯病机制的研究,本研究克隆了禾谷丝核菌肌动蛋白基因RcActin的部分(3′端)cDNA,并设计了RcActin的特异引物。该引物不仅能区分禾谷丝核菌与寄主小麦,还能区分全蚀病菌(Gaeumannomyces graminis)、根腐病菌(Bipolaris sorokiniana)和立枯丝核菌(Rhizoctonia solani)等常见小麦土传病害的病原菌,表明该引物能用于小麦纹枯病的分子检测,也能用于相对表达量的测定。利用相对定量法,以RcActin相对于寄主管家基因的相对表达量作为禾谷丝核菌相对生物量的指标,结果表明,此方法能准确反映禾谷丝核菌在寄主中的相对生物量和对小麦纹枯病抗性程度进行快速鉴定。     

Visual disease and PCR assessment of stem base diseases in winter wheat

Stem base disease (eyespot, sharp eyespot and brown foot rot) was assessed visually and by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique on single plants sampled at four-week intervals in two crops of winter wheat grown in the UK in 1992–3. PCR assays were conducted for Fusarium avenaceum , F. culmorum , both varieties of Microdochium nivale , both eyespot-causing species of Tapesia and Rhizoctonia cerealis . PCR diagnoses were compared with visual diagnoses at each time point. Eyespot was caused principally by T. acuformis (R-type) and developed rapidly late in the season. Visual diagnoses of eyespot were largely confirmed by PCR but T. acuformis was detected in many plants lacking eyespot symptoms. R. cerealis was detected at relatively low incidences on both sites, and sharp eyespot visual diagnoses did not correlate with the incidence of any of the pathogens assayed by PCR. Brown foot rot, caused principally by Microdochium nivale var . majus , accumulated earlier in the season than eyespot. Overall, visual diagnoses of stem base disease coincided poorly with PCR data until after growth stage (GS) 30.     

Damping-off of sugar beet caused by Rhizoctonia cerealis

Rhizoctonia cerealis was isolated from diseased sugar beet seedlings collected from crops in Ireland. In pathogenicity tests, isolates of R. cerealis from beet seedlings, and from sharp eyespot lesions on wheat crops, caused severe damping-off of sugar beet. Isolates from beet seedlings also caused symptoms of sharp eyespot on wheat.     

小麦纹枯病菌核糖体基因内转录区序列比较

 对7个从江苏省小麦纹枯病样本分离到的丝核菌菌株,进行形态学鉴定、融合群分类和致病性测定,提取病菌的DNA,采用通用引物ITS1(TCC GTA GGT GAA CCT GCG G)和ITS4(TCC TCC GCT TAT TGA TAT GC),扩增病菌的rDNA内转录区(ITS),并对扩增产物进行了测序.用这些序列在NCBI中进行BLAST分析,得到与这些菌株亲缘关系最近的菌株序列,并明确了这些菌株的分类地位.对以上的菌株序列进行Alignment分析,结果表明,病菌的5.8S rDNA序列高度保守,而ITS区的可变性则相对较高,在双核和多核丝核菌、双核丝核菌CAG1融合群和非CAG1融合群菌株间存在差异,可用于反映菌株间的进化关系和双核丝核菌种下分类.

采用菌丝生长速率法监测了1984、2001和2010年江苏省小麦纹枯病菌Rhizoctonia cerealis对井冈霉素的敏感性变化趋势,以及2010年河南、安徽和山东3省小麦纹枯病菌对井冈霉素的敏感性现状。结果表明:1984、2001和2010年江苏省小麦纹枯病菌对井冈霉素的EC50值范围分别为0.31~0.87、0.05~1.21和0.20~1.09 μg/mL,26年间江苏省小麦纹枯病菌对井冈霉素的敏感性未发生显著性变化;2010年河南、安徽和山东3省小麦纹枯病菌对井冈霉素的EC50值范围分别为0.15~1.16、0.43~0.90和0.09~1.33 μg/mL,4省小麦纹枯病菌对井冈霉素的敏感性相互间差异不显著。井冈霉素仍然可以作为防治小麦纹枯病的主要药剂。     

Evaluation of diagnostic and quantitative PCR for the identification and severity assessment of eyespot and sharp eyespot in winter wheat

Diagnostic and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) provided clarification of the causes of symptoms and the extent of infection by eyespot ( Tapesia spp.) and sharp eyespot ( Rhizoctonia cerealis ) on winter wheat at early growth stages. Disease assessments made before stem extension, when decisions to apply fungicides are usually made, often did not agree with the pathogen diagnoses using PCR, suggesting that such early visual diagnoses may be unreliable. Visual and PCR diagnoses made on stems in summer generally supported each other, but there were often discrepancies in relating disease severity to amounts of pathogen present when determined by regression analyses of incidence or severity of symptoms on amount of pathogen DNA. Mixed symptoms caused by different pathogens may sometimes have been confounded. Relationships between symptoms and DNA of eyespot pathogens were less clear on some cultivars, often those with least disease. Sharp eyespot symptoms had a stronger relationship to DNA of its pathogen. Significant regressions often accounted for a small percentage of the variance, suggesting either that pathogens not assayed were contributing to symptoms or that lesions were in some cases persisting longer into the season than pathogen DNA. The frequency of pathogen detection before stem extension was a poor predictor of the amounts of pathogen DNA measured later in the season.     

Characteristics and pathogenicity of isolates of Rhizoctonia spp. associated with damping-off of sugar beet

Rhizoctonia solani and R. cerealis were isolated from diseased sugar-beet seedlings in Ireland. Isolates of R. solani were assigned to anastomosis groups AG-2, AG-4, AG-5 and an unidentified group that did not anastomose with recognized tester isolates. Cultures of AG-2 were similar to those of AG-5 on oatmeal agar (OA) and potato-dextrose-marmite agar (PDMA). Cultures of AG-4, the unidentified group and R. cerealis were morphologically distinct from one another, AG-2 and AG-5. The optimum temperature for growth of AG-2 was 225 C, with optimum growth of AG-4, AG-5 and the unidentified group at 275-C. R. cerealis grew slower than all groups of R. solani, with optimum growth at 225°C. Hyphae of R. cerealis were significantly narrower than those of the groups of R. solani studied. In glasshouse pathogenicity tests, some AG-2 and all AG-4, AG-5 and isolates from the unidentified group caused damping-off of beet seedlings. In controlled environments of 10-25°C, an AG-2 isolate was the most aggressive at 10 C whilst AG-4, AG-5 and the unidentified group caused most disease at or above 15°C. R. cerealis was also pathogenic to beet seedlings, causing damping-off at 10 and 15 C.     

Sensitivity of Rhizoctonia species to different fungicides

Of 14 fungicides with different modes of action, cyproconazole and tolclofos-methyl were generally inhibitory both in vitro and in vivo against all tested isolates of five Rhizoctonia species belonging to the teleomorphs Thanatephorus cucumeris, Waitea circinata or Ceratobasidium cereale. Triadimenol and carboxin provided considerable variation in activity against different species and isolates, whereas prochloraz was ineffective against all isolates. Imazalil and fenarimol showed moderate control, whereas flusilazole, propiconazole, fenpropimorph and benomyl showed strong activity against R. zeae and R. oryzae, but were much less effective against R. sasakii, R. cerealis and R. solani. Benodanil and iprodione controlled all isolates of R. cerealis and R. solani, but were not very effective against R. zeae and R. oryzae. Pencycuron showed strong activity against R. sasakii and most R. solani isolates, moderate activity against R. zeae, and was ineffective against R. oryzae and R. cerealis.

随着秸秆还田等耕作栽培措施的推广,中国小麦纹枯病发生日趋严重,对小麦的高产、稳产造成了很大威胁。由于缺乏免疫及高抗病性小麦品种,生产中对纹枯病一直采用播期拌种及春季喷雾相结合的化学防治方法。文章总结了当前中国小麦纹枯病的发生现状及主要病原;评述了三唑类药剂对纹枯病菌的毒力及对纹枯病的防治效果,介绍了生产中小麦纹枯病菌对三唑类药剂的抗药性现状及机理,分析了三唑类药剂对小麦的安全性;同时阐述了井冈霉素、甲基立枯磷及其他种类药剂在小麦纹枯病综合防治中的应用;指出小麦纹枯病化学防治的发展方向应是将生防菌剂同化学药剂相结合,实现生物防治与化学防治的协同应用。     

中国河南省小麦纹枯病菌对井冈霉素及甲基立枯磷的敏感性

为明确中国河南省小麦纹枯病菌对井冈霉素及甲基立枯磷的敏感性,采用菌丝生长速率法测定了两种药剂对采自该省15个地市的98株病原菌菌丝生长的毒力。结果显示:井冈霉素和甲基立枯磷对供试菌株的EC₅₀值范围分别在0.023~0.852和0.035~0.512 μg/mL之间;其敏感性频率分布图显示,病原菌群体中虽已出现对井冈霉素敏感性下降的亚群体,但77.6%和99.0%的菌株对井冈霉素和甲基立枯磷的敏感性频率仍呈正态分布,因此可将此部分菌株的平均EC₅₀值（0.424±0.081）和（0.124±0.043）μg/mL分别作为小麦纹枯病菌对井冈霉素和甲基立枯磷的敏感基线;井冈霉素的平均EC₅₀值是甲基立枯磷的3倍,表明该病原菌对甲基立枯磷更为敏感;不同地理来源病原菌群体间对井冈霉素和甲基立枯磷的敏感性均存在显著的地域性差异;小麦纹枯病菌对两种杀菌剂的敏感性之间无明显相关性。研究结果可为河南省小麦纹枯病的可持续防控提供理论依据。     

2017年河南省小麦纹枯病菌对三唑酮的敏感性

The escalating threat of Rhizoctonia cerealis, the causal agent of sharp eyespot in wheat

Rhizoctonia cerealis, the causal agent of sharp eyespot on wheat, was not considered to be an important pathogen for many years. Recently, the disease has become endemic in many countries except for South America. The disease has created a new threat to world wheat production because the damage of wheat sharp eyespot has become increasingly severe. In this paper, previous studies on this pathogen, including the disease geographical distribution, pathogen identification, life cycle, symptoms, favourable environmental conditions, effects on wheat yield and control strategy, are reviewed. Such information will be helpful in management of sharp eyespot.

为明确河南省小麦纹枯病菌对咯菌腈的敏感性,采用菌丝生长速率法测定了咯菌腈对2013年从河南省15个地市分离的98株病菌的毒力。结果表明:咯菌腈对供试小麦纹枯病菌菌株的EC50值在0.009~0.079 μg/mL之间,平均EC50值为(0.025 ±0.012)μg/mL;98个菌株对咯菌腈的敏感性分布呈连续单峰曲线,未出现敏感性下降的亚群体,可将(0.025 ±0.012)μg/mL作为小麦纹枯病菌对咯菌腈的敏感性基线;方差分析(LSD法)及SPSS聚类结果均显示,同一地市内的菌株对咯菌腈的敏感性差异较大,EC50最大值和最小值之比在1.0~4.1之间,而不同地区菌株间对咯菌腈敏感性差异不明显,咯菌腈EC50平均值变化范围在0.015~0.060 μg/mL之间,后者是前者的4倍;小麦纹枯病菌对咯菌腈的敏感性与其对噻呋酰胺、苯醚甲环唑、井冈霉素、丙环唑及戊唑醇的敏感性之间无明显相关性。本研究结果可为河南省小麦纹枯病防控杀菌剂的合理使用提供理论依据。     

小麦纹枯病流行预测的研究

作者根据小麦纹枯病在冬麦区发生具有明显阶段性的特点,利用1984～1993年连续10年在纹枯病常发区山东省文登市的多品种、多地点的病情系统调查数据,采取统计学和流行学相结合的方法,组建了具有预测秋苗冬前发病率和返青后生长期病情指数的回归模型。并通过对小麦纹枯病普遍率和病情指数相关性的研究,将二阶段的模型耦联,完成对小麦整个生长期的病害流行动态全过程的预测。     

小麦纹枯病拮抗细菌的筛选

 从小麦纹枯病病田土壤中分离到722株细菌,通过对峙培养法筛选出拮抗细菌397株,拮抗菌率为55.0%。细菌对小麦纹枯病病原菌的拮抗作用分为两种类型:其一以竞争作用为主,表现为菌株生长快,抑菌率高但抑菌带较窄,如菌株BNT-25抑菌效果可达100.0%,抑菌带仅为2 mm;其二为抗生物质的产生,表现为菌株生长慢,菌落小,抑菌率高且抑菌带宽,如JJ-5菌株抑菌效果可达94.3%,抑菌带为12 mm。选用18株抑菌作用良好的拮抗细菌在室内测定其防治小麦苗期纹枯病的效果。结果发现,与空白对照相比,有9株拮抗细菌的防治效果达到了极显著水平,有15株拮抗细菌的防治效果达到了显著水平。在极显著水平中菌株NZT-47、MTT-8和DHT-12的防治效果分别为76.45%、64.03%和58.89%,对小麦纹枯病表现了较高的防治效果;菌株HNT-7-16、BDT-94和BNT-28的防治效果分别为43.47%、40.97%和40.97%,具有一定的防治作用。其中NZT-47的防治效果最好。     

小麦纹枯病菌中的dsRNA及其与菌株生物学特性的相关性

对采集自我国山东、河南、江苏、安徽4省的21株小麦纹枯病菌菌丝中的dsRNA进行了检测,研究了dsRNA条带与菌株菌落形态、生长速度、对小麦的致病力等生物学特性之间的相关性。结果表明,从16个菌株中检测到dsRNA条带,dsRNA的大小和数量存在丰富的多样性。致病力测定结果表明这21个小麦纹枯病菌菌株的致病力差异显著。目前暂未发现小麦纹枯病菌中dsRNA的类型和数量与菌株的菌落形态、生长速度及致病力等性状存在明显的相关性,但是致病力较弱的菌株中dsRNA条带的多样性更丰富。本研究为今后发掘小麦纹枯病菌中的低毒真菌病毒作了初步的探索。     

Identification and Pathogenicity of Rhizoctonia spp. Isolated from Apple Roots and Orchard Soils

ABSTRACT Rhizoctonia spp. were isolated from the roots of apple trees and associated soil collected in orchards located near Moxee, Quincy, East Wenatchee, and Wenatchee, WA. The anastomosis groups (AGs) of Rhizoctonia spp. isolated from apple were determined by hyphal anastomosis with tester strains on 2% water agar and, where warranted, sequence analysis of the rDNA internal transcribed spacer region and restriction analysis of an amplified fragment from the 28S ribosomal RNA gene were used to corroborate these identifications. The dominant AG of R. solani isolated from the Moxee and East Wenatchee orchards were AG 5 and AG 6, respectively. Binucleate Rhizoctonia spp. were recovered from apple roots at three of four orchards surveyed and included isolates of AG-A, -G, -I, -J, and -Q. In artificial inoculations, isolates of R. solani AG 5 and AG 6 caused extensive root rot and death of 2- to 20-week-old apple transplants, providing evidence that isolates of R. solani AG 6 can be highly virulent and do not merely exist as saprophytes. The effect of binucleate Rhizoctonia spp. on growth of apple seedlings was isolate-dependent and ranged from growth enhancement to severe root rot. R. solani AG 5 and AG 6 were isolated from stunted trees, but not healthy trees, in an orchard near Moxee, WA, that exhibited severe symptoms of apple replant disease, suggesting that R. solani may have a role in this disease complex.
