特异性抑制剂三环唑对玉米大斑病菌致病力的影响

为明确DHN黑色素合成抑制剂三环唑对玉米大斑病菌Setosphaeria turcica致病力的影响,通过含毒介质系统研究了三环唑作用下玉米大斑病菌的黑色素生物合成量、附着胞的细胞孔径、膨压和病菌的致病力。结果显示,当三环唑浓度≤5μg/mL时,玉米大斑病菌菌落生长量和产孢量变化不显著,但黑色素的生成量降至对照菌株的43%;三环唑处理的病菌附着胞细胞壁孔径增大至2.7～3.3 nm,膨压降至3.75 MPa,侵染率下降37.5%,同时病斑面积显著减小。表明三环唑通过抑制玉米大斑病菌DHN黑色素合成,降低了病菌附着胞的膨压,从而导致致病力下降。     

Melanin biosynthesis as a prerequisite for penetration by appressoria of Colletotrichum lagenarium: Site of inhibition by melanin-inhibiting fungicides and their action on appressoria

Melanin biosynthesis by appressoria was studied in relation to their penetrating ability using tricyclazole [5-methyl-1,2,4-triazolo(3,4-b)benzothiazole], pp 389 [4,5-dihydro-4-methyltetra-zolo(1,5-a)quinazolin-5-one], and pyroquilon [1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo(3,2,1-i,j)quinolin-4-one], and color mutants of Colletotrichum lagenarium. Tricyclazole at 100 μM inhibited melanin biosynthesis by appressoria of C. lagenairum 104-T, and caused accumulation of 3,4-dihydro-4,8-dihydroxy-1(2H)naphthalenone (DDN) in the culture medium. By contrast, DDN was not detected in culture media of tricyclazole-treated mutant 8015, which is defective in the enzyme involved in the conversion of scytalone to 1,3,8-trihydroxynaphthalene (1,3,8-THN). Vermelone restored melanization of appressoria of albino mutant 79215 and of the parent strain 104-T treated with tricyclazole, pp 389, and pyroquilon; however, scytalone restored melanization only in appressoria of albino mutant 79215. These results indicate that tricyclazole, pp 389, and pyroquilon inhibit the conversion of 1,3,8-THN to vermelone in the melanin biosynthetic pathway of appressoria of C. lagenarium. Colorless appressoria formed in the presence of the three melanin-inhibiting chemicals germinated laterally on nitrocellulose membranes and rarely penetrated the membranes. On the other hand, when pigmented appressoria were restored by application of vermelone in the presence of the three chemicals, lateral germination of the appressoria was largely suppressed, and the membranes were effectively penetrated. From these results, it is concluded that the major effect of tricyclazole, pp 389, and pyroquilon on appressoria of C. lagenarium, causing failure of penetration, is the inhibition of melanization. Effects of the chemicals on other metabolic functions can be precluded as significant factors affecting the penetration process.     

玉米大斑病菌黑色素缺失突变体的获得及其生物学特性

DHN黑色素是许多植物病原真菌的致病相关因子,为明确黑色素在玉米大斑病菌致病过程中的作用,采用三环唑和紫外线复合诱变的方法获得了黑色素缺失的6个突变菌株,对突变菌株的生长量、产孢量、HT-毒素活性、致病力进行测定。结果显示,突变菌株产毒能力变化不大,但生长量下降,产孢量和致病力显著下降或完全丧失,野生型菌株的产孢量和侵染频率分别是突变菌株的30～50倍和5倍。突变菌株与黑色素共培养后,菌株M01-23a和M01-23b恢复了致病力,但病斑面积和侵染频率较小。玉米大斑病菌黑色素与致病力具有一定的相关性。     

安徽水稻白叶枯病菌生理小种监测及其对水稻主栽品种的致病性测定

水稻白叶枯病是由稻黄单胞菌水稻致病变种Xanthomonas oryzae pv.Dryzae引起的细菌性病害[1-2],该病菌具有明显的致病力差异,有关其致病力分化研究一直备受关注[2-3].水稻白叶枯病是安徽省水稻上的重要病害,自20世纪90年代承河元等[4]确定安徽省水稻白叶枯病菌中存在0、Ⅰ、Ⅱ和Ⅲ致病型以来,至今未见关于其生理小种监测的系统报道.     

Effect of tricyclazole on growth and secondary metabolism in Pyricularia oryzae

Tricyclazole [5-methyl-1,2,4-triazolo (3,4-b)-benzothiazole] controls rice blast disease caused by Pyricularia oryzae at concentrations (5–10 μg/ml) which do not inhibit growth of the pathogen in vitro. However, concentrations of 1 μg/ml or less inhibit melanin formation in the fungus. Production of pyriculol by the pathogen is usually enhanced by 10 μg/ml of tricyclazole, whereas production of 3,4-dihydro-4,8-dihydroxy-1(2H)-naphthalenone is strongly inhibited or markedly reduced and delayed. Evidence suggests that tricyclazole blocks aspects of polyketide metabolism in P. oryzae which may have a role in pathogenicity.

磷酸甘油转移酶基因在水稻白叶枯病菌致病力中的作用研究

稻黄单胞菌稻致病变种(Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae,Xoo)引起的水稻白叶枯病,是水稻上的重要致灾病害之一。前期基因组学分析发现,Xoo菌株PXO99^A的PXO＿04062基因可能编码一个磷酸甘油转移酶,推测与病原菌的致病力有关。本研究采用自杀质粒pK18mobsacB介导的方法,构建了该基因的缺失突变体,并对突变体进行了反式互补。水稻上致病性测定发现,与野生型菌株相比,PXO＿04062基因的缺失突变体DM04062在寄主水稻日本晴上的致病力显著下降,并且其胞外多糖产量、运动性、生物膜形成等均明显降低。进一步采用RNA-seq方法比较突变体转录组的变化,发现突变体中的差异表达基因共有533个,其中包括多个致病相关基因,如胞外多糖合成和细胞运动性等相关基因。与野生型相比,这些基因在突变体中的表达均显著下调。这些结果说明,白叶枯病菌的磷酸甘油转移酶基因是通过影响多种致病力相关因子的合成,来影响病菌在水稻上的致病力。     

Metabolism of a phosphoramidate by Pyricularia oryzae in relation to tolerance and synergism by a phosphorothiolate and isoprothiolane

Metabolism of dibutyl N-methyl-N-phenylphosphoramidate (BPA) by mycelial cells of Pyricularia oryzae was studied to elucidate the mechanism of synergism and negatively correlated cross-resistance in fungicidal action between phosphoramidates and phosphorothiolate derivatives. Rapid metabolism of BPA by a wild-type strain through hydroxylation and N-demethylation was observed. The metabolism was inhibited by diisopropyl S-benzyl phosphorothiolate (IBP; Kitazin P) and by isoprothiolane (diisopropyl 1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidenemalonate; Fuji-One). This inhibition of BPA metabolism is probably the mechanism of synergistic fungicidal action between the phosphoramidate and the thiol derivatives. The metabolism was, however, not inhibited by S-1358 (S-butyl S′-p-tert-butylbenzyl N-3-pyridyldithiocarbonimidate; Denmert) or triarimol [α-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-α-phenyl-5-pyrimidinemethanol; EL-273], both of which are considered to be inhibitors of hydroxylation of a methyl radical in ergosterol biosynthesis. The metabolism of BPA by P. oryzae was much slower when mutants selected for IBP resistance and for isoprothiolane resistance were used. This phenomenon probably explains the differential sensitivity to phosphoramidate of wild-type strains and mutants resistant to the thiol derivatives.     

淡紫拟青霉次生代谢物质的抑菌效应

甲酸乙酯对米象不同虫态的熏蒸作用

针对储粮害虫抗药性日趋严重、粮食熏蒸剂品种越来越少的现状,采用密闭熏蒸法,系统研究甲酸乙酯（EtF）在不同条件下对米象Sitophilus oryzae（L.）卵、低龄幼虫、高龄幼虫、蛹以及成虫的致死作用.在25℃条件下以40和45μL/L的药剂浓度处理米象成虫12h,其校正死亡率分别为90.541%和99.324%;以30μL/L的浓度在19、25和31℃下处理24h,校正死亡率分别为83.108%、62%和42%,表明甲酸乙酯具有良好的速效性,且在相对低温时比在相对高温时熏蒸效果好.在20、25和30℃条件下,熏蒸处理米象成虫24h,其LC50分别为25.094、28.650和30.875μL/L;处理48 h时则分别为23.101、25.805和27.316μL/L.30g/m^3的甲酸乙酯熏蒸处理米象卵、低龄幼虫、高龄幼虫和蛹24 h,对应死亡率为96.930%、99.333%、97.768%和93.386%,表明甲酸乙酯对米象低龄幼虫的熏蒸效果最好,蛹和卵对甲酸乙酯具有较高的耐药性.     

水稻白叶枯病菌HD-GYP结构域蛋白PXO_03945的功能鉴定

为了揭示水稻白叶枯病菌(Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae,简称Xoo)环二鸟苷酸(c-di-GMP)信号相关蛋白PXO_03945的生物学功能,本研究通过基因同源重组和无标记交换,对PXO_03945基因进行了缺失突变,对野生型、突变体和互补菌株进行表型测定,分析该基因缺失突变对病菌胞内c-di-GMP水平、致病性、运动性、胞外多糖产生和生物膜形成的影响。结果表明,PXO_03945蛋白具有参与c-di-GMP降解的磷酸二酯酶(PDE)的HD-GYP结构域和功能未知的DUF3391结构域。全长基因缺失可导致体内c-di-GMP浓度明显上升。与野生型相比,ΔPXO_03945对水稻品种日本晴的致病性显著下降,而游动性增强,胞外多糖产生和生物膜形成增加。基因互补可以使之恢复。因此,HD-GYP结构域蛋白PXO_03945可能通过降解胞内c-di-GMP,正向调控了致病性,负向调控了运动性、EPS产生和生物膜形成能力。     

Cross-resistance to dicyclanil in cyromazine-resistant mutants of Drosophila melanogaster and Lucilia cuprina

Cyromazine is an insect growth regulator insecticide with a novel mode of action, mainly used to control dipteran insects. Previously, cyromazine-resistant mutants of the Australian sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina and the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster have been isolated following ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis and selection for resistance. Here, we show that these cyromazime-resistant mutants are cross-resistant to dicyclanil, an insect growth regulator compound with a similar chemical structure to cyromazine. Dicyclanil was recently introduced as a control agent of L. cuprina. Cross-resistance to the benzylphenylurea insecticide lufenuron was also assessed. Only one D. melanogaster cyromazine-resistant mutant is cross-resistant to lufenuron.     

云南高原粳稻白叶枯病菌毒素及其与致病性关系

 为了探寻云南高原粳稻白叶枯病菌间毒素的差异及毒素与病菌致病性的关系,本研究选用致病性差异较大的3个云南高原粳稻白叶枯病菌株,采用乙酸乙酯法提取其毒素,用水稻幼苗浸根法和种子发芽抑制法测定毒素粗提物的生物活性,并用TLC法分析毒素组分及组分含量的差异。结果表明3个菌株单细胞产毒素量与菌株的致病性强弱成正相关;供试的3个菌株,无论其致病力强弱,其产生的毒素只要有足够的量,都能抑制水稻种子发芽,也能使水稻幼苗萎蔫,且毒素浓度越高,作用越明显;菌株间毒素组分和组分含量存在差异,一些特异的组分是否与其致病性有关,需要深入研究。     

Induction of defense response of Oryza sativa L. against Pyricularia grisea (Cooke) Sacc. by treating seeds with chitosan and hydrolyzed chitosan

Seeds of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were treated with chitosan and hydrolyzed chitosan at 100, 500 and 1000 mg L⁻¹. After 18 days of germination, spore suspension of Pyricularia grisea was applied. The enzyme activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, β-1-3-glucanase, chitinase and chitosanase in leaves of rice seedlings was evaluated after 24, 72, 120 and 168 h of inoculation. Blast affected area (%) was evaluated 7 and 14 days after spraying spore suspension. Chitosan performance to elicit defense response induction was associated with the concentration and type of chitosan. The activity of most of the enzymes tested was induced in leaves of treated seeds with chitosan and hydrolyzed chitosan at 1000 and 500 mg L⁻¹, respectively. The highest enzyme activities were observed with hydrolyzed chitosan after 72 h however, compared to chitosan, the activity was not maintained during the entire post-inoculation period. The highest control (0 = no lesions) of P. grisea in rice seedlings was observed at 1000 mg L⁻¹ in both chitosan and hydrolyzed chitosan treated leaves. Symptoms of infection by P. grisea were evident after 14 days evaluation date, but according to the standard scale proposed by the International Rice Research Institute, these symptoms fell into the resistance category of blast diseases.     

Impact of tricyclazole and azoxystrobin on growth,sporulation and secondary infection of the rice blast fungus,Magnaporthe oryzae

BACKGROUND: Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae B. Couch sp. nov., is one of the most destructive rice diseases worldwide, causing substantial yield losses every year. In Italy, its management is based mainly on the use of two fungicides, azoxystrobin and tricyclazole, that restrain the disease progress. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the inhibitory effects of the two fungicides on the growth, sporulation and secondary infection of M. oryzae. RESULTS: Magnaporthe oryzae mycelium growth was inhibited at low concentrations of azoxystrobin and relatively high concentrations of tricyclazole, while sporulation was more sensitive to both fungicides and was affected at similarly low doses. Furthermore, infection efficiency of conidia obtained from mycelia exposed to tricyclazole was affected to a higher extent than for conidia produced on azoxystrobin‐amended media, even though germination of such conidia was reduced after azoxystrobin treatment. CONCLUSIONS: This study presents for the first time detailed azoxystrobin and tricyclazole growth–response curves for M. oryzae mycelium growth and sporulation. Furthermore, high efficacy of tricyclazole towards inhibition of sporulation and secondary infection indicates an additional possible mode of action of this fungicide that is different from inhibition of melanin biosynthesis.

水稻白叶枯病菌毒性基因调控hrp基因表达的分析

水稻白叶枯病菌(Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae,Xoo)侵染寄主水稻,引起水稻白叶枯病(bacterial leaf blight,BLB)。病原菌主要依赖hrp基因簇编码的Ⅲ型分泌系统(Type Ⅲ secretion system,T3SS)将效应蛋白(T3SS effectors,T3SEs)注入水稻细胞中,激发水稻的抗(感)病性。同源性搜索结果显示,植物病原黄单胞菌中已鉴定的一些毒性基因在Xoo的代表菌株PXO99A中保守存在。为了明确这些毒性基因对hrp基因表达调控的影响,本研究利用pK18mob-W介导的定点突变方法,成功获得了14个毒性基因的突变体;在突变体中,利用hrp∶∶gusA融合表达体系,通过GUS活性定量测定检测了hrpG、hrpX和hrpB1的启动子活性;通过荧光定量PCR技术,检测了这3个基因的mRNA水平。结果显示,双组分调控系统ColR/ColS、RpfC/RpfG和转录调控子Clp负调控hrpG和hrpB1的表达;Trh和Xrv A通过HrpG-HrpX途径正调控hrpB1的表达;HpaR1和Fur不依赖于HrpG仅通过HrpX正调控hrpB1的表达。这些调控关系的鉴定为解析水稻黄单胞菌hrp调控网络提供了新的线索。
