Multiplication and spread of pathovars of Xanthomonas campestris in host and non-host plants

Multiplication and spread of respresentative strains of three pathovars of Xanthomonas campestris were monitored by maceration and plating from inoculated leaves of the host and non-host plant species Oryza sativa, Poa trivialis, Brassica oleracea and Phleum pratense.
Homologous interactions were characterized by higher multiplication rates and larger population increases than heterologous interactions, except for pv. oryzae which increased as much as pv. poae in leaves of Poa. Spread of heterologous pathovars was limited, but homologous pathovars were distributed throughout host leaves soon after inoculation. Pvs poae and oryzae (from Poaceae) demonstrated considerably greater population increases and higher initial multiplication rates than pv. campestris in leaves of all non-host Poaceae. Pv. poae spread further into leaves of Oryza and pv. oryzae further into leaves of Poa and Phleum than did pv. campestris. Numbers of pv. poae declined in Brassica as did those of pv. oryzae , which was localized within 2 mm of the point of inoculation.     

在水稻悬浮细胞系中非亲和白叶枯病菌繁殖受到抑制的现象及其机理的研究

 研究了水稻白叶枯病菌在水稻悬浮细胞系中的繁殖动力学特征以及悬浮细胞胞外液中各类物质对白叶枯病菌繁殖的影响。结果表明,水稻-白叶枯病菌非亲和互作与亲和互作相比病原菌繁殖的数量明显减少。胞外液中粗提蛋白对白叶枯病菌繁殖不具有抑制作用。非亲和互作胞外液中二元酚含量显著增高,并且水稻细胞防卫反应基因的转录和翻译活性明显增强。表明非亲和互作中白叶枯病菌繁殖受到抑制与水稻细胞防卫反应的启动相关。     

PCR-mediated Detection of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Xanthomonas oryzae </Emphasis>pv. <Emphasis Type="Italic">oryzae </Emphasis>by Amplification of the 16S–23S rDNA Spacer Region Sequence

A detection method specific for Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, the pathogen responsible for bacterial blight of rice, was based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and designed by amplifying the 16S–23S rDNA spacer region from this bacterium. The nucleotide sequence of the spacer region between the 16S and 23S rDNA, consisting of approximately 580-bp, from X. oryzae pv. oryzae, X. campestris pv. alfalfae, X. campestris pv. campestris, X. campestris pv. cannabis, X. campestris pv. citri, X. campestris pv. cucurbitae, X. campestris pv. pisi, X. campestris pv. pruni and X. campestris pv. vitians, was determined. The determined sequences had more than 95% identity. Therefore, a pair of primers, XOR-F (5′-GCATGACGTCATCGTCCTGT-3′) and XOR-R2 (5′-CTCGGAGCTATATGCCGTGC-3′) was designed and found to specifically amplify a 470-bp fragment from all strains of X. oryzae pv. oryzae isolated from diverse regions in Japan. No PCR product was amplified from X. campestris pathovars alfalfae, campestris, cannabis, carotae, cucurbitae, dieffenbachiae, glycines, pisi, pruni, vitians or zantedeschiae, except for pathovars citri, incanae and zinniae. The method could also detect the pathogen in infected rice leaves within 3 hr, at a detection limit of 4×10¹ cfu/ml. Received 17 December 1999/ Accepted in revised form 10 April 2000

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

Identification of Isolates that Cause a Leaf Spot Disease of Brassicas as Xanthomonas campestris pv. raphani and Pathogenic and Genetic Comparison with Related Pathovars

ABSTRACT Twenty-five Xanthomonas isolates, including some isolates received as either X. campestris pv. armoraciae or pv. raphani, caused discrete leaf spot symptoms when spray-inoculated onto at least one Brassica oleracea cultivar. Twelve of these isolates and four other Xanthomonas isolates were spray- and pin-inoculated onto 21 different plant species/cultivars including horseradish (Armoracia rusticana), radish (Raphanus sativus), and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). The remaining 13 leaf spot isolates were spray-inoculated onto a subset of 10 plant species/cultivars. The leaf spot isolates were very aggressive on several Brassica spp., radish, and tomato causing leaf spots and dark sunken lesions on the middle vein, petiole, and stem. Based on the differential reactions of several Brassica spp. and radish cultivars, the leaf spot isolates were divided into three races, with races 1 and 3 predominating. A differential series was established to determine the race-type of isolates and a gene-for-gene model based on the interaction of two avirulence genes in the pathogen races and two matching resistance genes in the differential hosts is proposed. Repetitive-DNA polymerase chain reaction-based fingerprinting was used to assess the genetic diversity of the leaf spot isolates and isolates of closely related Xanthomonas pathovars. Although there was variability within each race, the leaf spot isolates were clustered separately from the X. campestris pv. campestris isolates. We propose that X. campestris isolates that cause a nonvascular leaf spot disease on Brassica spp. should be identified as pv. raphani and not pv. armoraciae. Race-type strains and a neopathotype strain for X. campestris pv. raphani are proposed.     

水稻防御反应相关基因对稻瘟病菌的响应

水稻与稻瘟病菌的互作已成为研究植物与病原真菌互作的模式系统。利用RT-PCR技术检测了6个水稻品种(分别含有抗病基因Pik-s、Pita、Pit、Pi1、Pi9的近等系及回交亲本丽江新团黑谷LTH)与稻瘟病菌互作过程中多个信号相关及PR基因的表达。结果表明带有稻瘟病抗性基因Pik-s、Pita、Pit的水稻品种和LTH对稻瘟病菌#626侵染表现为亲和互作,带Pi1和Pi9的水稻品种表现为非亲和互作;稻瘟病菌接种后,亲和互作中MAPK6和MAPK12表现为上调表达,带有抗性基因Pi9的水稻品种IRBL22中BIMK2表现为上调表达。总体来看,含有不同抗病基因的水稻近等系中的PR基因对稻瘟病菌的响应较为多样,非亲和互作中在早期或早中期表现为PR基因上调表达,而亲和互作中主要在晚期上调表达,说明这些PR基因表达的时间在植物与病原互作的不同时期发挥着不同的作用。     

Temperature Sensitivity of the Hypersensitive Response of Bell Pepper to Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. vesicatoria

ABSTRACT When bacterial spot-resistant pepper plants carrying resistance gene Bs2 and infiltrated with incompatible strains of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. vesicatoria carrying a functional avrBs2 gene (races P1 and P3) were incubated at 32 degrees C, they exhibited an electrolyte leakage and bacterial multiplication pattern in planta similar to that obtained with a compatible strain (race P4) carrying a nonfunctional avrBs2 gene. They also developed disease-like symptoms. Pretreatment of incompatible bacteria at 32 degrees C before infiltration caused a delay in electrolyte leakage less pronounced than that caused by exposing plants to 32 degrees C. Also, plants had to be exposed to 32 degrees C for an hour prior to inoculation to increase symptom expression. These data suggest that the Bs2 gene is temperature sensitive. In other experiments, the avrBs1-Bs1 interaction appeared to be the most heat tolerant and thus the least likely to revert to compatible, whereas the avrBs3-Bs3 interaction had an intermediate sensitivity to elevated temperatures.     

Antagonistic Interactions Between Strains of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae

ABSTRACT The ability of some phytopathogenic bacterial strains to inhibit the growth of others in mixed infections has been well documented. Here we report that such antagonistic interactions occur between several wild-type strains of the rice bacterial blight pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae. In mixed inoculations, a wild-type Philippine strain was found to inhibit the growth of a wild-type Korean strain. Furthermore, a nonpathogenic mutant of the Philippine strain maintained these antagonistic properties. Growth curve analysis indicated that both the wild-type Philippine strain and its nonpathogenic mutant inhibited the growth of the Korean strain 2 days after infection and prior to the onset of disease symptoms. When mixed with the nonpathogenic mutant, 10 out of 18 diverse wild-type X. oryzae pv. oryzae strains did not cause disease. Conversely, three of the strains that were not affected by the nonpathogenic mutant were found to inhibit the growth of both the wild-type and mutant Philippine strains, indicating that antagonism is widespread and strain specific. The observed growth inhibition occurred only in planta and did not correlate with bacteriocin activity in vitro. Antagonistic interactions also were found to affect resistance (R) gene-mediated resistance. The R gene Xa21 was capable of protecting rice plants coinoculated with nonantagonistic virulent and avirulent strains; however, when avirulent strains were coinoculated with virulent antagonistic strains, disease ensued. Taken together, these results indicate that X. oryzae pv. oryzae has evolved strategies to compete with rival strains in a fashion that allows virulent strains to evade R gene-mediated protection even when avirulent strains are present in the inoculum.     

Studies of infection withxanthomonas campestris pv.vesicatoria,causal agent of bacterial scab of pepper in Israel

Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria, the causal agent of bacterial scab of pepper, was isolated in several regions in Israel. When artificial inoculation was practiced, pathogen growth was enhanced by high temperatures (30-36°C), and an inoculum concentration of 10^p6 colony-forming units (CFU) per ml was optimal for symptoms to develop on plants. Pre-inoculation treatments such as wounding the leaves by rubbing them with carborundum powder or spraying them with diluted wax solvents, markedly increased disease severity, but were not essential. Pre-inoculation conditioning at two different relative humidity levels (R.H. = 100% or R.H. < 40%) did not affect disease severity. Young leaves were more severely affected following infection than older leaves. Disease severity was similar with several isolates ofX. campestris pv. vesicatoria.     

Pathogenicity assays restrict the species Xanthomonas campestris into three pathovars and reveal nine races within X. campestris pv. campestris

The species Xanthomonas campestris (Vauterin) groups bacteria associated with cruciferous plants. In order to clarify and refine the pathovar and race structures within X . campestris , 47 representative strains of six pathovars were characterized for their pathogenicity on a large host range of Brassicaceae, including all original hosts. Three diseases were observed on tested plants: (i) black rot disease on cruciferous plants; it was proposed that all strains causing black rot on at least one cruciferous plant be grouped in the single pathovar X . c . pv. campestris ; (ii) leaf spot disease caused by X . c . pv. raphani on hosts belonging to the Brassicaceae and Solanaceae; the sequenced strain 756C identified as X . c . pv. armoraciae was included in this pathovar and the existence of another leaf spot disease caused by X . c . pv. armoraciae was not supported; and (iii) bacterial blight of garden stocks caused by X . c . pv. incanae . No plants susceptible to X . c . pv. barbareae were found. Strains that did not induce any symptom on cruciferous plants tested, including their original hosts, were removed from the pathovar scheme and were named X . campestris only. Three new races were described in addition to the six races previously described within X . c . pv. campestris . The sequenced strains ATCC 33913 (CFBP 5241) and Xcc 8004 (CFBP 6650) belonged to race 3 and to race 9 (one of the new races described), respectively.     

Induction of systemic resistance byPseudomonas fluorescens Pf1 againstXanthomonas oryzae pv.Oryzae in rice leaves

When lower leaves of rice plants were inoculated with powder formulation of a saprophytic strain ofPseudomonas fluorescens, Pfl, upper leaves, in addition to the inoculated lower leaves, showed resistance to the rice bacterial blight pathogenXanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae. When the leaves were challenge-inoculated withX. oryzae pv.oryzae 4 days afterP. fluorescens application on lower leaves, the disease intensity in upper leaves decreased from 6.7 to 1.1. When rice seeds were treated with the formulation ofP. fluorescens Pfl and sown, 30-day-old seedlings showed resistance toX. oryzae pv.oryzae and the disease intensity decreased from 6.8 to 1.2. The induced resistance was transient; leaves sprayed withP. fluorescens Pfl at 30 days after treatment and leaves of 60-day-old seedlings fromP. fluorescens-treated seeds did not show resistance to the pathogen. In field trials, seed treatment followed by foliar application of the powder formulation ofP. fluorescens Pfl effectively controlled rice bacterial blight and increased the yield. In the induced resistant leaves a sharp increase in lignification and activities of peroxidase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and 4-coumarate: CoA ligase was observed when the leaves were challenge-inoculated withX. oryzae pv.oryzae. An approximately threefold increase in lignin content, peroxidase activity and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity and a fivefold increase in 4-coumarate: CoA ligase activity were observed 5 days after challenge inoculation withX. oryzae pv.oryzae in rice leaves pretreated withP. fluorescens for 5 days. A similar increase in defense-related activities was not observed in susceptible interactions or inP. fluorescens-treated plants at later stages of interactions when no resistance to the pathogen was observed.
