昆虫视觉在寄主寻找及定位过程中的作用

昆虫与寄主植物相互作用的研究一直是生态学研究的重要问题,在过去的几十年中一直以化学生态学为主导,昆虫视觉在寄主寻找与定位过程中的功能研究很少。随着试验技术与观测手段的不断提高,尤其是昆虫视网膜电位测定技术的发展,为昆虫视觉功能研究提供了新手段和新技术。本文阐述了昆虫视觉的概念与内涵,分析了昆虫视觉的研究现状及目前对昆虫视觉功能的认识误区,总结了昆虫视觉在寄主植物寻找过程中的作用:包括昆虫视觉的光谱学响应,对寄主植物形态刺激、寄主分布及农业景观的反应,并介绍了视网膜电位技术在昆虫视觉功能研究中的应用。本文认为将来的昆虫与植物关系的研究应综合考虑视觉和嗅觉的作用,昆虫视觉功能的研究应与化学信息通讯研究同样受到重视。昆虫视觉在寄主寻找、定位过程中的作用和功能将会成为昆虫-植物关系研究中一个非常具有前景的领域。     

Developing smarter host mixtures to control plant disease

Adaptation of plant pathogens to disease control measures (both chemical and genetic) is facilitated by the genetic uniformity underlying modern agroecosystems. One path to sustainable disease control lies in increasing genetic diversity at the field scale by using genetically diverse host mixtures. In this study, a robust population dynamics approach was used to model how host mixtures could improve disease control. It was found that when pathogens exhibit host specialization, the overall disease severity decreases with the number of components in the mixture; this finding makes it possible to determine an optimal number of components to use. In a simple case, where two host varieties are exposed to two host‐specialized pathogen species or strains, quantitative criteria for optimal mixing ratios are determined. Using these model outcomes, ways to optimize the use of host mixtures to decrease disease in agroecosystems are proposed.     

Effects of host plant genotype and seedbank density on Striga reproduction

Prevention of seed input to the seedbank of Striga hermonthica‐infested fields is an important objective of Striga management. In three consecutive years of field experimentation in Mali, Striga reproduction was studied for 10 sorghum genotypes at infestation levels ranging from 30 000 to 200 000 seeds m^?2. Host resistance was identified as an important determinant of Striga reproduction, with the most resistant genotypes (N13, IS9830 and SRN39) reducing Striga reproduction by 70–93% compared with the most susceptible genotype (CK60‐B). Seedbank density had a significant effect on Striga seed production. Higher seedbank density resulted in more Striga plants, which led to increased intra‐specific competition and consequently a reduced level of reproduction per plant. For the most susceptible sorghum genotypes, density dependence also occurred in the earlier belowground stages. Striga reproduction continued beyond harvest. At the high infestation level just 8% of the total reproduction was realised after harvest, whereas at the low infestation level 39% was attained after harvest. Even though host‐plant genotype plays a significant role in Striga reproduction, calculations indicated that only at very low infestation levels the use of the most resistant genotype was able to lower the Striga seedbank.     

Understanding Orobanche and Phelipanche–host plant interactions and developing resistance

Orobanche and Phelipanche spp. (broomrapes) are parasitic plants that can be responsible for devastating losses in several important crops. The development of resistant cultivars is one of the key strategies in the fight against this pest. However, the nature of resistance is complex and the basis of the interaction between the host and the parasite is still largely unknown. Despite the progress achieved during the last century through breeding programmes, sources of resistance are often scarce (e.g. the legumes). The resistance that is available is often not durable, with field resistance being overcome by new races of the parasite (e.g. sunflower). This review summarises efforts made to improve the resistance of crop hosts for broomrapes through classical breeding programmes and looks forward to the integration of new knowledge generated from molecular and morphological studies. Emphasis is given to the need for a multidisciplinary approach to achieve success, ranging from improved field phenotyping to genetic and biotechnological studies. All components are necessary to understand this particular and characteristic interaction: a plant parasitising another plant.

Ultrastructural analysis of responses of host and fungal cells during plant infection

Cellular responses in fungi and in susceptible or resistant hosts during fungus–plant interactions have been studied ultrastructurally to examine their role in pathogenicity. Pathogenicity is determined in some saprophytic fungi by various factors: the production of disease determinants such as the production of host-specific toxins (HSTs) or the extracellular matrix (ECM) by fungal infection structures and H₂O₂ generation from penetration pegs. Three different target sites for HSTs have been identified in host cells in many ultrastructural studies: plasma membranes, chloroplasts, and mitochondria. The mode of action of HSTs is characterized by the partial destruction of the target structures only in susceptible genotypes of host plants, with the result that the fungus can colonize the host. The infection structures of most fungal pathogen secrete ECM on plant surfaces during fungal differentiation, while the penetration pegs of some pathogens produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cell walls and plasma membranes. The pathological roles of ECM and H₂O₂ generation are discussed here in light of ultrastructural evidence. Host and fungal characteristics in the incompatible interactions include the rapid formation of lignin in host epidermal cell walls, failure of penetration pegs to invade lignin-fortified pectin layers, the inhibition of subcuticular hyphal proliferation and the collapse of hyphae that have degraded cell walls within pectin layers of the host. Apoptosis-like host resistant mechanism is also discussed.     

Inoculum potential of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum sclerotia depends on isolate and host plant

The soilborne fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum infects many important crop plants. Central to the success of this pathogen is the production of sclerotia, which enables survival in soil and constitutes the primary inoculum. This study aimed to determine how crop plant type and S. sclerotiorum isolate impact sclerotial production and germination and hence inoculum potential. Three S. sclerotiorum isolates (L6, L17, L44) were used to inoculate plants of bean, carrot, lettuce, oilseed rape (OSR) and potato, and the number and weight of sclerotia per plant quantified. Carpogenic germination of sclerotia collected from different hosts was also assessed for L6. Production of sclerotia was dependent on both crop plant type and S. sclerotiorum isolate, with OSR and lettuce supporting the greatest number (42–122) and weight (1.6–3.0 g) of sclerotia per plant. The largest sclerotia were produced on OSR (33–66 mg). The three S. sclerotiorum isolates exhibited a consistent pattern of sclerotial production irrespective of crop type; L6 produced large numbers of small sclerotia while L44 produced smaller numbers of large sclerotia, with L17 intermediate between the two. Germination rate and percentage was greatest for larger sclerotia (4.0–6.7 mm) and also varied between host plants. Combining sclerotial production data and typical field crop densities suggested that infected carrot and OSR could produce the greatest number (3944 m^?2) and weight (73 g m^?2) of S. sclerotiorum sclerotia, respectively, suggesting these crops potentially contribute a greater increase in inoculum. This information, once further validated in field trials, could be used to inform future crop rotation decisions.

In vitro analysis of host plant specificity in Rhizoctonia solani

Rhizoctonia solani is a plant pathogenic fungus with a wide host range. Host plant specificity within R. solani was analysed on seedlings grown aseptically on agar, which allowed continuous observation of both the fungus and the whole plant without disturbing the interaction. Symptom development on cauliflower, Arabidopsis , eggplant, tomato and potato by 32 R. solani isolates, belonging to six different anastomosis groups (AGs), was studied. Host plant specificity of isolates, as analysed by similarity clustering, was similar to AG-related host plant specificity as observed in the field, with AG3 isolates (except two avirulent strains) separating from the other isolates. Two R. solani isolates with a reciprocal pathogenicity on cauliflower and tomato were selected for further studies. These showed that in the pathogenic combination, R. solani isolates grew over the plant, adhered and formed infection structures, while in the nonpathogenic combination isolates grew over the plant, but neither adhesion nor the formation of infection structures occurred. From these data, it was concluded that host plant specificity is mediated in the early steps of the infection process.
