A comparison of two pathosystems: Downy mildew on Spinacia oleracea and on Chenopodium album

The development of downy mildew (Peronospora farinosa) on a cultivated spinach crop (Spinacia oleracea) was compared to that on lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), a naturally occurring weed. Experiments were carried out on small spinach plots, in which epidemics could develop from point sources (PS) or area sources (AS).Two lambsquarter populations were studied, in which downy mildew epidemics arose from oospore infections. The downy mildew epidemics, on spinach and lambtquarters, were related to the environmental factors: temperature, vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and rainfall. It is concluded that the two different formae speciales ofP. farinosa, one on spinach and one on lambsquarters, react in the same way to weather changes. The epidemiological patterns were almost similar.Samenvatting De ontwikkeling van valse meeldauw (Peronospora farinosa) op het cultuurgewas spinazie (Spinacia oleracea) werd vergeleken met die op het zich natuurlijk ontwikkelende onkruid melganzevoet (Chenopodium album). Daarvoor werden experimenten uitgevoerd op spinazieperceeltjes, waarop in enkele gevallen puntbroninfecties (PS), en in andere gevallen oppervlaktebrondinfecties (AS) waren aangebracht. Er werd gevarieerd in inoculatietijdstip.Bij melganzevoet werden twee populaties bestudeerd, waarin de ziekte via oösporeinfectie op natuurlijke wijze was ontstaan.Het geheel werd in verband gebracht met de omgevingsfactoren: temperatuur, dampdruk-deficiet (VPD) en regenval. Geconcludeerd kan worden, dat deP. farinosa formae speciales zowel op spinazie als op melganzevoet op gelijke wijze reageerden op veranderingen in het weer. Het verloop van de epidemieeën was sterk vergelijkbaar.     

Appearance of race Pfs:5 of spinach downy mildew fungus, Peronospora farinosa f. sp. spinaciae, in Japan

The races for the causal agent of spinach downy mildew Peronospora farinosa f. sp. spinaciae were identified by inoculation of race-differential cultivars. One isolate was identified as Pfs:5s and the others belonged to a new race. This is the first report of race Pfs:5 and another new race in Japan.     

Epidemiology,prediction and control of onion downy mildew caused byPeronospora destructor

The effect of environmental factors on the development of each stage ofPeronospora destructor (Berk.) Caspary on onions is reviewed. For sporulation to take place, a period of light must precede the period of darkness and high humidity in which spores are formed. Spores are discharged when the relative humidity (RH) is increasing or decreasing, and over a wide range of temperatures. Their discharge is triggered by exposure to red-infrared radiation and by vibration of the leaf. Dissemination of spores follows a daily periodic cycle and spores can be blown by wind over long distances. Duration of spore survival depends on temperature, RH and, especially, the absence of strong radiation. The rate of spore germination is highest at 10°C and declines with the rise in temperature. Germ tubes develop in liquid water, and a continuous period of wetness is required for infection to be completed. Systemic infection is common in cooler climates, where necks of onion bulbs are slow to dry. The principal sources of downy mildew infection by wind-borne spores are systemically infected propagation material, onion volunteer plants, and neighboring older crops.     

大白菜霜霉病菌寄生霜霉对氟吡菌胺的敏感性

为探明大白菜霜霉病病原菌寄生霜霉Peronospora parasitica对氟吡菌胺的敏感性,采用凹玻片保湿法和离体子叶浸泡法测定了氟吡菌胺对寄生霜霉不同生长发育阶段的抑制作用。结果表明:氟吡菌胺对寄生霜霉孢子囊萌发、芽管伸长、病斑扩展、孢囊梗形成及孢子囊产生均有不同程度的抑制作用,其中对孢子囊萌发和芽管伸长的抑制效果最显著,EC50值分别为0.113 3和0.291 8μg/m L;当氟吡菌胺质量浓度为8.00μg/m L时,对病斑扩展和产孢量的抑制率分别达到86.08%和72.48%,且对孢囊梗的产生也有显著的抑制作用。选用离体子叶浸泡法,测定了氟吡菌胺对从山东省不同地区采集分离的60株寄生霜霉菌株的毒力,发现菌株之间对药剂的敏感性差异较小,敏感性频率呈近似正态分布,其EC50值范围为0.163 2~0.802 2μg/m L,因此可以将其EC50平均值0.405 3μg/m L作为寄生霜霉对氟吡菌胺的敏感基线。     

沈阳地区葡萄霜霉病流行速率、空中孢子囊密度与环境因素的相关性

为明确葡萄霜霉病流行速率、空中孢子囊密度与环境因素之间的相关性,以感病品种红地球为试材,采用田间小区试验系统调查了沈阳地区葡萄霜霉病的流行动态,并对空中孢子囊密度进行定时捕捉,结合田间环境监测分析不同变量之间的相关性。结果显示,葡萄霜霉病的流行规律为:指数增长期为5月1日至7月23日,逻辑斯蒂增长期为7月23日至8月19日,衰退期为8月19日至葡萄生育末期。整个生长季葡萄霜霉病流行速率呈正态分布,其变化动态与该病害的流行时期特点基本一致。单季病害流行期,流行速率与温度、前5 d平均相对湿度均呈显著正相关,相关系数分别为0.442和0.409;在始发期和盛发期,空中孢子囊密度与流行速率、前5 d平均相对湿度、前5 d平均叶面湿润时数、前5 d积累降雨量基本均呈显著正相关,相关系数分别为0.753和0.768、0.836和0.651、0.651和0.834、0.954和0.747;与当日降雨量呈负相关,相关系数分别为-0.473和-0.542。表明上述与葡萄霜霉病流行相关性较高的因素可作为构建葡萄霜霉病预测模型的关键因子。

Induction of resistance against downy mildew pathogen in pearl millet by a synthetic jasmonate analogon

The synthetic 1-oxo-indanoyl-l-isoleucine methyl ester (Ind-Ile-Me) represents a highly active mimic of octadecanoic phytohormones, which are involved in plant defenses against pathogens and pests. Seed treatments and foliar spray with Ind-Ile-Me were tested for induced resistance against downy mildew disease caused by the phytopathogenic oomycete Sclerospora graminicola in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) under greenhouse and field conditions. Under greenhouse conditions, a 50% protection level was achieved after seed treatment. Seed treatment in combination with foliar spray resulted in 60% protection. The induction of resistance was correlated with the enhanced activities of defense-related proteins such as phenylalanine-ammonia-lyase, peroxidase, and enhanced level of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins. Under field conditions, a maximum protection of 62% was recorded upon seed treatment along with foliar spray. Hence, it infers that Ind-Ile-Me can be used as a valuable protection compound at least in downy mildew disease management.     

Occurrence and molecular characterization of azoxystrobin resistance in cucumber downy mildew in Shandong province of China

Cucumber downy mildew caused byPseudoperonospora cubensis (Berk. and Curt.) Rostov. limits crop production in Shandong Province of China. Since management of downy mildew is strongly dependent on fungicides, a rational design of control programs requires a good understanding of the fungicide resistance phenomenon in field populations of the pathogen. A total of 106 and 97 isolates ofP. cubensis were obtained in 2006 and 2007, respectively. The EC₅₀ values for the growth of all the 106 isolates collected in 2006 were 0.0063–0.0688μg ml⁻¹ (average: 0.0196±0.0048μg ml⁻¹) azoxystrobin and these were therefore considered sensitive isolates. However, 57 field isolates ofP. cubensis of the 97 collected in 2007 with EC₅₀ values that ranged from 0.609 to >51.2μg ml⁻¹ were considered resistant to azoxystrobin. Fragments of the fungicide-targeted mitochondrial cytochromeb gene from total pathogen DNA were amplified using polymerase chain reaction and their sequences analyzed to elucidate the molecular mechanism of resistance. A single point mutation (GGT to GCT) in the cytochromeb gene, resulting in substitution of glycine by alanine at position 143, was found in the three selected azoxystrobin-resistant isolates of downy mildew. This substitution in cytochromeb exhibited different resistance levels, with the resistance factor from 21.15 to greater than 2618.9. In addition, the different resistance levels seemed to appear within 1 year (between 2006 and 2007). Therefore, growers of Shandong Province in China now are faced with a challenge in managing the azoxystrobin resistance in cucumber downy mildew. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting March 10, 2008.     

樟树枝叶提取物防治葡萄霜霉病的效果

为明确樟树枝叶提取物对葡萄霜霉病的防治效果,采用混合液滴显微镜观察法研究了樟树枝叶提取物及其活性成分对病原菌孢子囊萌发的抑制作用,利用高效液相色谱法鉴定了枝叶乙酸乙酯萃取物的化学成分,测定了其活性成分对葡萄霜霉病的室内和田间防治效果。结果表明,浓度为0.1 g/mL以上的樟树枝叶提取物对孢子囊萌发均有很好的抑制效果,抑制率达100.0%;樟树枝叶提取物经不同极性有机溶剂萃取后,分别获得正己烷、乙酸乙酯、正丁醇和水相分离物,浓度为1.0%时各分离物对孢子囊萌发的抑制率分别为58.4%、92.4%、32.5%和58.7%,乙酸乙酯相富集了主要抑菌活性成分,经液相色谱分析并与色谱库数据比对,确定其活性成分中含有芦丁和槲皮素;浓度为1.0%的芦丁和槲皮素对孢子囊具有抑制作用;田间试验显示,浓度为0.3 g/mL以上的枝叶提取物对葡萄霜霉病预防效果显著,治疗效果在60.0%以上。研究表明,樟树枝叶提取物可以有效控制葡萄霜霉病,提取物的活性成分芦丁和槲皮素可以作为植物源药剂。     

暗黑链霉菌PY-1活性产物分析及其对葡萄霜霉病田间防效评价

为探究暗黑链霉菌Streptomyces atratus PY-1对葡萄霜霉病菌Plasomopara viticola的抑制作用,通过扫描电镜观察PY-1发酵滤液对葡萄霜霉病菌孢子囊的影响,检测PY-1的活性物质种类,并测定其对葡萄霜霉病的田间防效。结果表明,PY-1发酵滤液能够导致葡萄霜霉病菌孢子囊和孢子囊梗出现褶皱、破裂和畸形,进而使其丧失侵染功能。PY-1菌株代谢产物中包含几丁质酶、蛋白酶、嗜铁素、1-氨基环丙烷-1-羧酸脱氨酶、氰化氢、吲哚乙酸,不含纤维素酶。PY-1菌株对葡萄霜霉病具有较好的田间防效,发酵原液对葡萄霜霉病的田间中期防效可达到89.17%以上,末期防效达86.28%以上,比52.5%噁唑菌酮·霜脲氰2 000倍液的防效略低,但显著高于58%甲霜·锰锌1 000倍液的防效;PY-1菌株发酵液稀释700倍后对葡萄霜霉病的末期防效与甲霜锰锌1 000倍液防效相当。表明PY-1菌株具有研制防治葡萄霜霉病生防制剂的潜力。     

Spore cell wall components ofAspergillus niger elicit downy mildew disease resistance in pearl millet

Elicitors derived from the cell wall of fungi are shown to be active in eliciting resistance in plants against a wide range of pathogens. In the present study carbohydrate components from the autoclaved spore cell wall ofAspergillus niger were prepared as aqueous suspensions and tested for defense response in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br.) against the oomycetous downy mildew pathogenSclerospora graminicola (Sacc.) Schroet. The aqueous suspension derived from the spore cell wall ofA. niger was used as a seed soak treatment at concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mg ml⁻¹ for time intervals of 3, 6, 9 and 12 h. The concentration of 0.5 mg ml⁻¹ for a 6 h soaking period offered 94% seed germination and seedling vigor index increased to 1526. The seed germination and the seedling vigor were significantly higher than the untreated check. Spore cell wall suspension as seed treatment at a concentration of 0.5 mg ml⁻¹ required a 3-day time interval to provide 67% protection against downy mildew. Histological and biochemical studies were conducted to elucidate the mechanism of defense response in treated seedlings uponS. graminicola infection. Resistance host response was detected in the form of lignin and callose deposition in the epidermal cell wall of pearl millet seedlings, which is the site ofS. graminicola infection. A time course study showed rapid and localized deposition of lignin and callose in epidermal cell wall of carbohydrate components-treated pearl millet seedling coleoptiles. Increased levels of the defense-related enzyme peroxidase were detected in the treated seedlings. Peroxidase activity in elicitor-treated samples reached a peak at 8 h post-infection, which was 45% more than in their respective uninoculated control. Characterization of peroxidase isoforms by isoelectric focusing revealed 16 different isoforms, of which pI 6.8, 7.2 and 8.7 increased in elicitor-treated samples uponS. graminicola infection. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting Nov. 14, 2005.

为合理利用葡萄抗性品种以及田间病害综合治理,采用离体叶盘接种法分别对2018年和2019年自宁夏回族自治区银川市、石嘴山市和吴忠市采集的43株葡萄霜霉病菌Plasmopara viticola菌株进行致病型鉴定及聚类分析,并对17个主栽葡萄品种进行抗性评价及聚类分析。结果表明：2018、2019年供试菌株致病力和供试葡萄品种抗性之间均存在显著差异,菌株平均病情指数与发病率呈显著正相关,皮尔逊相关系数r和回归系数R²分别介于0.45~0.96和0.20~0.92之间;2018、2019年供试菌株的强致病力菌株和弱致病力菌株分别为CS-YL和VI-BYDD、RG-JSJG和CS-YM;2018年和2019年供试菌株致病型被划分为强、中、弱3种类群,2年所占比例分别为10.00%、15.00%、75.00%和34.78%、39.13%、26.09%;供试17个葡萄品种的抗性类型可被划分为感病、抗病、高抗3种类群,2年所占比例均为17.65%、29.41%和52.94%。不同葡萄品种对不同菌株的抗性类型多样化。表明宁夏回族自治区葡萄霜霉病菌菌株致病力分化明显,不同菌株的致病型与其地域来源无关,不同葡萄品种的抗感程度不同。     

Microscopical studies of the effect of metalaxyl on the interaction between sunflower,Helianthus annuus L. and downy mildew,Plasmopara halstedii

The mode of action of the fungicide metalaxyl againstPlasmopara halstedii, the causal agent of sunflower downy mildew, was studied following its application before, during and after artificial contamination of seedlings. The development of the fungus within the treated seedlings was examined microscopically and compared to that occuring in untreated genetically susceptible or resistant genotypes. Hypersensitive-like reactions and necrotic zones leading to the inhibition of fungus growth within the hypocotyl were observed for the three modes of application. This suggests that sunflower defence mechanisms activated by genetical resistance are also involved in the control of downy mildew by metalaxyl.     

葡萄叶提取物对葡萄霜霉病的防治作用及有效成分分析

为探究葡萄叶提取物对葡萄霜霉病的防治作用,测定了葡萄叶提取物及其有效物质对葡萄生单轴霉Plasmopara viticola孢子囊和游动孢子的抑制作用以及对葡萄霜霉病的防治效果,观察了其对葡萄生单轴霉在叶片中扩展、产生孢子囊能力的影响,并对葡萄叶提取物组成成分进行了分析。结果表明,葡萄叶提取物对葡萄生单轴霉孢子囊的形成和萌发均有明显的抑制作用。当葡萄叶提取物浓度为10 mg/mL时,其对孢子囊形成的抑制率为82.4%,葡萄生单轴霉孢子囊和游动孢子的萌发率仅为7.6%和1.1%,均显著低于无菌水处理。荧光显微观察发现,葡萄叶提取物可以抑制葡萄生单轴霉在叶片内的扩展。当葡萄叶提取物浓度为10 mg/mL和50 mg/mL时,对葡萄霜霉病的室内防治效果分别为80.1%和100.0%;且浓度为10 mg/mL的葡萄叶提取物对葡萄霜霉病的田间预防效果为67.8%,与烯酰吗啉处理无显著差异。液质联用技术检测显示,葡萄叶提取物中含有白藜芦醇和紫檀芪,其对葡萄生单轴霉均有显著的抑制作用,且紫檀芪的抑制效果强于白藜芦醇。     

Controlling downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) in field-grown grapevine with β-aminobutyric acid (BABA)

Two foliar sprays of BABA (DL-3-amino-n-butanoic acid, DL-β-aminobutyric acid), or a mixture of BABA and different fungicides at reduced rates, effectively controlled (>90%) downy mildew, caused byPlasmopara viticola, in the foliage of field-grown grapevines. In five field trials BABA sprays resulted in a significant reduction of infectious leaf area and fungal sporulation, and of necrosis of oilspots. The level of disease control for BABA in four trials was similar to that achieved by metalaxyl-Cu or ‘Acrobat Plus’ (dimethomorph + mancozeb). Two-way tank-mixtures of BABA + fosetyl-AI, BABA + folpet, or BABA + Bion (benzothiadiazole), each at half the recommended rate, provided an additive effect againstP. viticola, performing as well as the full rate of each fungicide alone. BABA was not phytotoxic and did not affect pH, total titratable acids, or °Brix of the juice, as determined by commercial fungicidal standards. The results indicate that foliar applications of BABA can efficiently be integrated into a downy mildew control program in vineyards.     

基于CLIMEX模型的玉蜀黍霜指霉菌入侵风险分析

为明确我国禁止进境的植物检疫性有害生物——玉蜀黍霜指霉菌Peronosclerospora maydis在中国的适生性以及入侵风险,采用CLIMEX 2.0软件分析其适生性,用ArcGIS 10.2软件确定其适生范围和适生程度,并采用多指标综合评判法量化分析其入侵我国的风险等级。结果表明,玉蜀黍霜指霉菌在我国的适生范围主要分布在长江以南的西南山地丘陵玉米种植区和南方丘陵玉米种植区,高适生区主要分布在云南、贵州、四川、重庆、广东、广西、湖南、江西、福建、海南和台湾等省 （区、市）。玉蜀黍霜指霉菌作为专性寄生菌,可在玉米整个生长季侵染危害,经多指标综合评判法分析并计算得到其风险综合评价值R为2.12,表明该病菌入侵我国的风险等级属高度危险,一旦入侵,势必对粮食安全、农业安全和生态安全带来巨大威胁,建议加强检疫监测,严防该病菌入侵。     

Glycosylation and oxidative dimerization of resveratrol are respectively associated to sensitivity and resistance of grapevine cultivars to downy mildew

Levels of resistance to Plasmopara viticola, from susceptible to highly resistant, of different grapevine cultivars were observed in vineyards and confirmed by the symptoms developed after inoculations. On the abaxial surface of infected leaves, P. viticola developed abundant sporangiophores on susceptible cultivars (Chasselas, Gamay, Gamaret and Pinot Noir), whereas on less susceptible cultivars (Seyval Blanc and Johanniter) the parasite produced few sporangiophores and some necrotic spots at the site of infection. On resistant cultivars (Bronner, Solaris, IRAC 2091), P. viticola induced a hypersensitive response and only necrotic spots were visible and the disease ceased to develop. Stilbenes were analyzed 4, 7, 24, 48 h post-infection (hpi) on small leaf samples cut from the site of infection. Large differences were observed between the cultivars at 24 and 48 hpi. Susceptible grapevines produced resveratrol and its glycoside, piceide. In contrast, resistant plants produced high concentration of ε- and δ-viniferin. Resveratrol and piceide have little or no toxicity activity against P. viticola, whereas δ-viniferin is highly toxic and can be considered an important marker for resistance of grapevine to downy mildew. The importance of oxidative dimerization of resveratrol in comparison to the extent of its glycosylation in defense reaction of grapevines against P. viticola is discussed.     

新疆不同地区葡萄霜霉病菌致病性分化及遗传多样性的分析

为了解新疆不同地区葡萄霜霉病菌Plasmopara viticola的遗传特征,分别采用叶盘接菌法及SSR分子标记技术对采自新疆吐鲁番、阿克苏、石河子等11个不同产区的葡萄霜霉病菌菌株的致病性进行测定,并分析各菌株的遗传多样性。结果显示,来自新疆不同地区的菌株种内存在着致病性分化现象,依据其在鉴别寄主上致病性的差异,将供试菌株划分为强、中、弱3类,其中强致病性菌株为优势菌株,且种间致病性分化与菌株的地理来源无关;SSR标记结果表明,供试菌株之间存在遗传变异现象,并且菌株之间亲缘关系都较近,在相似系数为0.93时,48株菌株聚为4大类,且遗传分化与地理分布具有一定的相关性。研究表明新疆不同地区的葡萄霜霉病菌菌株之间存在致病性分化与遗传变异现象。
