New sources of resistance to Fusarium wilt and sterility mosaic disease in a mini-core collection of pigeonpea germplasm

Fusarium wilt (FW) and Sterility mosaic disease (SMD) are important biotic constraints to pigeonpea production worldwide. Host plant resistance is the most durable and economical way to manage these diseases. A pigeonpea mini-core collection consisting of 146 germplasm accessions developed from a core collection of 1290 accessions from 53 countries was evaluated to identify sources of resistance to FW and SMD under artificial field epiphytotic conditions during 2007–08 and 2008–09 crop seasons. Resistant sources identified in the field were confirmed in the greenhouse using a root dip screening technique for FW and a leaf stapling technique for SMD. Six accessions (originated from India and Italy were found resistant to FW (<10% mean disease incidence). High level of resistance to SMD was found in 24 accessions (mean incidence <10%). These SMD resistant accessions originated from India, Italy, Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria, Philippines and United Kingdom. Combined resistance to FW and SMD was found in five accessions (ICPs 6739, 8860, 11015, 13304 and 14819). These diverse accessions that are resistant to FW or SMD will be useful to the pigeonpea resistance breeding program.     

Inhibitors of appressorium formation in Magnaporthe grisea: a new approach to control rice blast disease

Fungi were screened for the production of inhibitors of appressorium formation in germinating conidiospores of Magnaporthe grisea on inductive and non-inductive surfaces. Bioactivity-guided isolation yielded glisoprenins A, C, D and E from Gliocladium roseum and oleic acid from three fungi. The glisoprenins were active only on a hydrophobic surface, whereas oleic acid inhibited appressorium formation on a hydrophilic surface when 1,16-hexadecanediol, but not 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)adenosine-3′,5′-monophosphate, was used as inducer. The inhibition by glisoprenins could be reversed competitively by 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol but not by 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-glycerol, both effective activators of protein kinase C in mammalian cells. Other mono-unsaturated fatty acids also inhibited appressorium formation. The corresponding methyl esters were inactive. The results agree with previous findings that at least two signal-transducing pathways are involved in appressorium formation. In addition, the differences observed between fungal signalling via PKC and the pathway used in mammalian cells could be used for the search for new and selective fungicides for rice blast disease. © 1998 Society of Chemical Industry     

水稻主要抗瘟基因对福建稻瘟菌群体的抗性分析

用1995～2003年间在福建省水稻产区采集的稻瘟菌代表菌系的108个分离菌,它们在CO39近等基因系上测定被划分为30个毒性类型,用它们在30个水稻抗稻瘟病近等基因系或单基因系品种上进行抗病性测定.结果表明水稻抗稻瘟病基因Pi-kh抗性最强,抗性频率高达98.15%,Pi-1和Pi-9(t)也具有较高的抗性频率,是较好的抗源;对2个和3个Pi基因的联合抗性频率的分析,发现一些联合抗性频率极高,甚至有达到100%的组合,表明抗瘟育种采用多个Pi基因聚合,易于获得抗性强的品种.根据抗病基因与供试菌株互作的亲和性,对供试30个Pi基因可能的系统关系分析得到的初步信息可为抗病基因的聚合与布局策略提供参考.

Mechanism of resistance to carpropamid in Magnaporthe grisea

The inhibitory activity of carpropamid on scytalone dehydratase (SDH) extracted from a carpropamid-resistant strain of Magnaporthe grisea (Hebert) Barr was dramatically reduced in comparison with that on SDH extracted from the sensitive strain. A single-point mutation (G to A) located at the upstream region (233 bp downstream from the ATG codon) resulting in a one-amino-acid substitution (valine [GTG] 75 to methionine [ATG]: V75M) was found in the resistant strain. To examine whether the V75M mutation is the primary reason for decreasing the sensitivity of SDH to carpropamid, the SDH cDNAs of both the sensitive and the resistant strain were cloned into a GST-fused protein expression vector-system. The recombinant SDHs of both strains exhibited the same sensitivities to carpropamid as those extracted from the mycelia of the respective strains. These data clearly revealed that the V75M mutation causes the low sensitivities of the SDHs of the carpropamid-resistant strains, and strongly suggests that the V75M mutation confers resistance of these strains to carpropamid.     

一个新的与稻瘟病菌无毒基因AVR-Pikm紧密连锁的SCAR标记

 无毒基因是病原物中决定寄主抗病性表达的功能基因,其功能的丧失导致毒性小种的产生。本研究利用随机引物扩增DNA多态性技术,从稻瘟病菌菌株S1522中新筛选到1个与无毒基因AVR-Pik^m紧密连锁的DNA标记OPE12₁₄₀₀。根据OPE12₁₄₀₀的核苷酸序列,设计了1对含有17个核苷酸的特异性SCAR引物,并利用该引物对无毒表型亲本S1522和毒性表型亲本S159及其有性杂交后代的108个菌株进行了PCR扩增。结果表明:所有无毒表型的菌株均能特异性扩增出1条与OPE12₁₄₀₀大小相近的DNA片段,而毒性表型的菌株除2个重组体外,均不能扩增出此片段。根据计算,这一SCAR标记与目标无毒基因AVR-Pik^m之间的遗传距离为1.89 cM,与本研究小组先前报道的另一个标记OPO12₁₀₀₀位于目标基因的同一侧,但与OPO12₁₀₀₀相比,距目标基因近了2.86 cM。本标记的获得将有助于确定AVR-Pik^m在染色体上的位置,有助于确定用于进一步筛选位于相反一侧的连锁标记的重叠群区域。     

Pi34-AVRPi34: a new gene-for-gene interaction for partial resistance in rice to blast caused by Magnaporthe grisea

The japonica rice (Oryza sativa) cultivar Chubu 32 has a high level of partial resistance to blast, which is mainly controlled by a dominant resistance gene located on chromosome 11. The partial resistance to the rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe grisea) in Chubu 32 has isolate specificity; isolate IBOS8-1-1 is more aggressive on Chubu 32 than are other isolates. We hypothesized that the gene-for-gene relationship fits this case of a partial resistance gene in Chubu 32 against the avirulence gene in the pathogen. The partial resistance gene in Chubu 32 was mapped between DNA markers C1172 (and three other co-segregated markers) and E2021 and was designated Pi34. In the 32 F₃ lines from the cross between a chromosome segment substitution line (Pi34⁻) from Koshihikari/Kasalath and Chubu 32, the lines with high levels of partial resistance to the M. grisea isolate Y93-245c-2 corresponded to the presence of Pi34 estimated by graphic genotyping. This indicated that Pi34 has partial resistance to isolate Y93-245c-2 in compatible interactions. The 69 blast isolates from the F₁ progeny produced by the cross between Y93-245c-2 and IBOS8-1-1 were tested for aggressiveness on Chubu 32 and rice cultivar Koshihikari (Pi34⁻). The progeny segregated at a 1 : 1 ratio for strong to weak aggressiveness on Chubu 32. The results suggested that Y93-245c-2 has one gene encoding avirulence to Pi34 (AVRPi34), and IBOS8-1-1 is extremely aggressive on Chubu 32 because of the absence of AVRPi34. This is the first report of a gene-for-gene relationship between a fungal disease resistance gene associated with severity of disease and pathogen aggressiveness.     

稻瘟病菌对稻瘟灵抗性遗传研究

在离体条件下就稻瘟病菌对稻瘟灵抗性的诱导、抗性水平和遗传进行了研究。结果表明,供试３个小种（ＺＡ_４９、ＺＦ_１和ＺＤ_１）４个菌株分别经稻瘟灵５０μｇ／ｍｌ、１００μｇ／ｍｌ和稻瘟灵１００μｇ／ｍｌ＋亚硝基胍０.５μｇ／ｍｌ的３种处理诱变,均得到了抗稻瘟灵突变株,在含稻瘟灵的培养基中加入诱变剂亚硝基胍可显著提高稻瘟病菌对稻瘟灵抗性的突变率。上述３个不同处理获得的突变株的抗性水平相似,为野生型亲本的２.８～８.８倍。突变株对稻瘟灵的抗性在单分生孢子无性系后代可以稳定遗传。     

Resistance to Pseudomonas syringae in a collection of pea germplasm under field and controlled conditions

A total of 242 Pisum accessions were screened for resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. pisi under controlled conditions. Resistance was found to all races, including race 6 and the recently described race 8. Fifty‐eight accessions were further tested for resistance to P. syringae pv. syringae under controlled conditions, with some highly resistant accessions identified. Finally, a set of 41 accessions were evaluated for resistance to P. syringae pv. pisi and pv. syringae under spring‐ and winter‐sowing field conditions. R2, R3 and R4 race‐specific resistance genes to P. syringae pv. pisi protected pea plants in the field. Resistance sources to race 6 identified under controlled conditions were ineffective in the field. Frost effects were also evaluated in relation to disease response. Results strongly suggest that frost tolerance is effective in lowering the disease effects caused by P. syringae pv. pisi and pv. syringae under frost‐stress conditions, even in the absence of disease resistance genes, although the highest degree of this protection is reached when frost tolerance and disease‐resistance genes are combined in the same genetic background.     

Identification of an Avirulence Gene in the Fungus Magnaporthe grisea Corresponding to a Resistance Gene at the Pik Locus

ABSTRACT A rice isolate of Magnaporthe grisea collected from China was avirulent on rice cvs. Hattan 3 and 13 other Japanese rice cultivars. The rice cv. Hattan 3 is susceptible to almost all Japanese blast fungus isolates from rice. The genetic basis of avirulence in the Chinese isolate on Japanese rice cultivars was studied using a cross between the Chinese isolate and a laboratory isolate. The segregation of avirulence or virulence was studied in 185 progeny from the cross, and monogenic control was demonstrated for avirulence to the 14 rice cultivars. The resistance gene that corresponds to the avirulence gene (Avr-Hattan 3) is thought to be located at the Pik locus. Resistance and susceptibility in response to the Chinese isolate in F(3) lines of a cross of resistant and susceptible rice cultivars were very similar to the Pik tester isolate, Ken54-20. Random amplified polymorphic DNA markers and restriction fragment length polymorphism markers from genetic maps of the fungus were used to construct a partial genetic map of Avr-Hattan 3. We obtained several flanking markers and one co-segregated marker of Avr-Hattan 3 in the 144 mapping population.

粟品种对粟瘟病的抗病性初步观察

近年来,粟瘟病在山西省中部及东南部严重发生危害,輕者减产,重者籽粒不收。作者于1962—1963年进行了粟品种間抗病性的初步观察,簡报如下: 在本所試驗地和山西省晋东南区各县良种繁殖場谷子品种区域試驗地共調查品种520个。調查时期:重点品种分苗期、拔节期、拔节末期、抽穗盛期、乳熟期进行;一般品种只在发病盛期(即抽穗盛期)进行。在自然条件下未感染粟瘟病的品种,再在溫室中种植,进行人工接种。抗病性鑑定結果如下: (一)尚未发現有免疫品种。 (二)不同品种对栗瘟病的抗病性有显著差异:在发病盛期調查,高度抗病品种61个,占总数12％,发病指数为0.1—10;抗病品种149个,占总数28.7％,发病指数为10.1—20.0;輕度感病品种128个,占总数24.6％;发病指数为20.1—     

稻瘟病菌ABC转运蛋白基因中 SSR的分布及其功能预测

 ABC转运蛋白在真菌的致病性方面起着重要的作用。本研究查找和分析了稻瘟病菌基因组中47个ABC转运蛋白基因的外显子区、内含子区、5′-UTR和3′-UTR区中的SSR,并对编码区中SSR的扩张或收缩对蛋白结构的影响进行了预测。结果表明,SSR在这些基因的调控区和编码区分布不均一,且在基因的外显子区、内含子区、5′-UTR和3′-UTR区中SSR的组成和分布均不相同;基因的编码区中三碱基和六碱基SSR相对较多,SSR的基序大都表现为GC含量较高,编码的亲水性氨基酸出现频率远远高于疏水性氨基酸。根据稻瘟病菌自然群体中SSR的变化幅度,预测了SSR的扩张或收缩对蛋白二级结构的影响,发现SSR的扩张或收缩都可能对蛋白的结构产生影响。暗示着SSR的变异在致病相关基因的变异中可能扮演着重要角色。

Expression Analysis of Rice Defense-Related Genes in Turfgrass in Response to Magnaporthe grisea

ABSTRACT Magnaporthe grisea (anamorph = Pyricularia grisea) causes blast on rice (Oryza sativa) and gray leaf spot on turfgrass. Gray leaf spot is a serious disease on St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea). Virulence assays performed in this study revealed that M. grisea collected from rice could also cause disease on St. Augustinegrass and tall fescue. One rice isolate, Che86061, caused similar disease reactions on susceptible cultivars of rice and St. Augustinegrass and an incompatible interaction on resistant cultivars of both species. To explore whether similar defense-related genes are expressed in rice and St. Augustinegrass, a rice cDNA library was screened using pooled cDNAs derived from M. grisea-infected St. Augustinegrass. Thirty rice EST (expressed sequence tag) clones showing differential expression in St. Augustinegrass following M. grisea inoculation were identified and classified into six putative functional groups. Northern blot analyses of seven EST clones that collectively represented each putative functional group confirmed that the expression of five out of seven EST clones was similar in both rice and St. Augustinegrass. This study represents one of the first attempts to use a broad-scale genomic approach and resources of a model monocot system to study defense gene expression in St. Augustinegrass following M. grisea infection.
