The pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is a severe pest of coniferous trees, and has been designated as a quarantine organism in the European Union. From the sequence of a satellite DNA family characterized in the genome of this nematode, we developed a PCR procedure that allowed the specific discrimination of this species from closely related Bursaphelenchus species found on coniferous trees. Moreover, because of the repetitive nature of satellite DNA, positive amplification was achieved from B. xylophilus single individuals, which should contribute to an easy diagnostic procedure for assisting in the management of this major pest of conifer forests. 相似文献

The pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is the causal agent of pine wilt disease. The international economic impact of the introduction of the PWN into new areas
has highlighted the need for the development of accurate and reliable detection methods of B. xylophilus, which are essential to define aspects of its control and management. In the present study, a methodology was developed for
the direct detection of PWN by conventional PCR assay, with a species specific set of primers based on PWN satellite DNA,
using total DNA extracted directly from maritime pine, Pinus pinaster, wood and bark samples, and from the insect vector, Monochamus galloprovincialis. This methodology involves homogenisation of wood, bark and insects using liquid nitrogen, DNA extraction and one or two
PCR amplification steps, which permit the rapid and direct detection of one single nematode present in 100 mg of wood and
bark and in one entire insect without the preliminary steps of nematode extraction. 相似文献

Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are one of the most important biotic factors limiting crop productivity in many crop plants. The major RKN control strategies include development of resistant cultivars, application of nematicides and crop rotation, but each has its own limitations. In recent years, RNA interference (RNAi) has become a powerful approach for developing nematode resistance. The two housekeeping genes, splicing factor and integrase, of Meloidogyne incognita were targeted for engineering nematode resistance using a host-delivered RNAi (HD-RNAi) approach. Splicing factor and integrase genes are essential for nematode development as they are involved in RNA metabolism. Stable homozygous transgenic Arabidopsis lines expressing dsRNA for both genes were generated. In RNAi lines of splicing factor gene, the number of galls, females and egg masses was reduced by 71.4, 74.5 and 86.6%, respectively, as compared with the empty vector controls. Similarly, in RNAi lines of the integrase gene, the number of galls, females and egg masses was reduced up to 59.5, 66.8 and 63.4%, respectively, compared with the empty vector controls. Expression analysis revealed a reduction in mRNA abundance of both targeted genes in female nematodes feeding on transgenic plants expressing dsRNA constructs. The silencing of housekeeping genes in the nematodes through HD-RNAi significantly reduced root-knot nematode infectivity and suggests that they will be useful in developing RKN resistance in crop plants. 相似文献

Bacterial leaf/fruit spot and canker of stone fruits, caused by Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni, is a recurrent disease in Italy. A set of 23 strains has been isolated in peach and plum orchards in an intensively stone fruit cultivated area located in north-eastern Italy. They were all identified as X. arboricola pv. pruni by means of phytopathological and serological features: hypersensitive reaction on bean pods, pathogenicity test on immature peach or plum fruitlets, identification by immunofluorescence assay and conventional PCR. Phylogenetic analysis based on sequencing of the gyrB housekeeping gene of the isolates showed that they formed a unique clade, well characterised and separated from other xanthomonads. An insight into the genetic population features was attempted by rep-PCR analysis, using the ERIC, REP and BOX primers. The combined rep-PCR fingerprints showed a slight intra-pathovar variation within our isolates, which grouped in five close clusters. Copper resistance has been assessed in vitro for our whole X. arboricola pv. pruni collection, highlighting that two isolates show a level of resistance in vitro up to 200 ppm of copper. Nonetheless, the copLAB gene cluster, present in many other species of Xanthomonads, was not detected in any isolate, confirming the presence of a still unknown mechanism of copper detoxification in our Xanthomonads arboricola pv. pruni tolerant/resistant strains. 相似文献

Virus-like symptoms—red ringspots on stems and leaves, circular blotches or pale spots on fruit—were found on commercial highbush
blueberry (Vaccinium
corymbosum) cultivars Blueray, Weymouth, Duke and Sierra in Japan. In PCR testing, single DNA fragments were amplified from total nucleic
acid samples of the diseased blueberry bushes using primers specific to Blueberry red ringspot virus (BRRV). Sequencing analysis of the amplified products revealed 95.7–97.7% nucleotide sequence identity with the BRRV genome.
This paper is the first report of blueberry red ringspot disease caused by BRRV in Japan.
The nucleotide sequence data reported in this paper are available in the GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ database as accessions AB469884
to AB469893 for BRRV isolates from Japan. 相似文献

The pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is a disastrous pathogen of the pine forests in East Asia and Europe. Plant quarantine is one of the most important ways
to prevent its infection in current situation. A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay targeting the topoisomerse I
gene has been developed to detect PWN in this study. To assess the specificity of the assay, 44 morphologically characterized
nematode isolates including B. xylophilus, B. mucronatus, B. hofmanni, Seinura wuae, S. lii and Aphelenchoides macronucleatus were tested. Positive reactions characterized by amplification product of 509 bp were shown from all isolates of PWN. The
nested PCR assay can detect 50 femtogram (fg) of template DNA or one individual nematode, as small as an egg. The validity
was evaluated by analyzing the nematode samples extracted from the nematode-infested wood in the field. These results show
that the assay is a specific, sensitive method for detection of PWN with the potential in relation to the pest risk assessment
and quarantine regulations. 相似文献

From the genome of a Japanese field isolate of the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae, we newly identified Inago1 and Inago2 LTR retrotransposons. Both elements were found to be Ty3/gypsy-like elements whose copies were dispersed within the genome of Magnaporthe spp. isolates infecting rice and other monocot plants. Southern hybridization patterns of nine re-isolates derived from conidia
of the strain Ina168 produced after a methyl viologen treatment were not changed, indicating that the insertion pattern of
Inago elements is relatively stable. 相似文献

Severe rot of leaves, peduncles and flowers caused by Gibberella zeae (anamorph: Fusarium
graminearum) was found on potted plants of hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis), a liliaceous ornamental, in greenhouses in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, in January 2001. This disease was named “Fusarium
rot of hyacinth” as a new disease because only the anamorph, F.
graminearum, was identified on the diseased host plant.

The greater wax moth Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is occasionally found in beehives and is a major pest of stored wax. Entomopathogenic fungi have
recently received attention as possible biocontrol elements for certain insect pests. In this study, 90 isolates of Beauveria bassiana and 15 isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae were screened for proteases and lipases production. The results showed significant variations in the enzymatic action between
the isolates. In the bioassay, the selected isolates evinced high virulence against the 4th instar of the G. mellonella larvae. The isolates BbaAUMC3076, BbaAUMC3263 and ManAUMC3085 realized 100% mortality at concentrations of 5.5 × 106 conidia ml−1, 5.86 × 105 conidia ml−1, and 4.8 × 106 conidia ml−1, respectively. Strong enzymatic activities in vitro did not necessarily indicate high virulence against the tested insect pest. The cuticle of the infected larvae became dark
and black-spotted, indicating direct attack of fungus on the defense system of the insects. The LC50 values were 1.43 × 103, 1.04 × 105 and 5.06 × 104 for Bba3263AUMC, Bba3076AUMC and Man3085AUMC, respectively, and their slopes were determined by computerized probit analysis
program as 0.738 ± 0.008, 0.635 ± 0.007 and 1.120 ± 0.024, respectively. 相似文献

Detailed studies were conducted on the distribution of Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum and Dickeya spp. in two potato seed lots of different cultivars harvested from blackleg-diseased crops. Composite samples of six different
tuber sections (peel, stolon end, and peeled potato tissue 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 cm from the stolon end) were analysed by
enrichment PCR, and CVP plating followed by colony PCR on the resulting cavity-forming bacteria. Seed lots were contaminated
with Dickeya spp. and P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (Pcc), but not with P. atrosepticum. Dickeya spp. and Pcc were found at high concentrations in the stolon ends, whereas relatively low densities were found in the peel and
in deeper located potato tissue. Rep-PCR, 16S rDNA sequence analysis and biochemical assays, grouped all the Dickeya spp. isolates from the two potato seed lots as biovar 3. The implications of the results for the control of Pectobacterium and Dickeya spp., and sampling strategies in relation to seed testing, are discussed. 相似文献

Yeast-like fungi were isolated from lesions on azuki bean (cv. Shin-Kyotodainagon) seeds that had been sucked by bean bugs
in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. On the basis of morphological and physiological characteristics and sequence data of the internal
transcribed spacer (ITS) regions including the 5.8S rDNA, these yeasts were identified as Eremothecium coryli and E. ashbyi. Pathogenicity of those yeasts was confirmed by a reinoculation test. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the occurrence
of yeast spot in azuki bean in Japan.
The nucleotide sequence data reported are available in the GeneBank/EMBL/DDBJ database as accessions AB478291–AB478309 for
E. coryli AZC1–19 and AB478310–AB478317 for E. ashbyi AZA1–8. 相似文献

Infection by Pyrenophora teres f. teres (Ptt) or P. teres f. maculata (Ptm), the causal agents of the net and spot forms of net blotch of barley, respectively, can result in significant yield losses. The genetic structure of a collection of 128 Ptt and 92 Ptm isolates from the western Canadian provinces of Alberta (55 Ptt, 27 Ptm), Saskatchewan (58 Ptt, 46 Ptm) and Manitoba (15 Ptt, 19 Ptm) were analyzed by simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker analysis. Thirteen SSR loci were examined and found to be polymorphic within both Ptt and Ptm populations. In total, 110 distinct alleles were identified, with 19 of these shared between Ptt and Ptm, 75 specific to Ptt, and 16 specific to Ptm. Genotypic diversity was relatively high, with a clonal fraction of approximately 10 % within Ptt and Ptm populations. Significant genetic differentiation (PhiPT = 0.230, P = 0.001) was found among all populations; 77 % of genetic variation occurred within populations and 23 % between populations. Lower, but still significant genetic differentiation (PhiPT = 0.038, P = 0.001) was detected in Ptt, with 96 % of genetic variation occurring within populations. No significant genetic differentiation (PhiPT = 0.010, P = 0.177) was observed among Ptm populations. Isolates clustered in two distinct groups conforming to Ptt or Ptm, with no intermediate cluster. The high number of haplotypes observed, combined with an equal mating type ratio for both forms of the fungus, suggests that P. teres goes through regular cycles of sexual recombination in western Canada. 相似文献

Forty-one strains of Rhizobium vitis, either tumorigenic (Ti) or nonpathogenic, were characterized using multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) of the partial nucleotide
sequences of pyrG, recA, and rpoD. The strains separated into seven clades. Rhizobium vitis (Ti) strains isolated from Japan were divided into five genetic groups (A to E), and nonpathogenic R. vitis strains were divided into two genetic groups (F and G). This result suggests that there are new genetic groups of R. vitis in Japan. Among these groups, members of A and B groups are widely distributed throughout Japan. 相似文献

The tomato pathotype of Alternaria alternata (A. arborescens) produces the dark brown to black pigment melanin, which accumulates in the cell walls of hyphae and conidia. Melanin has
been implicated as a pathogenicity factor in some phytopathogenic fungi. Here, two genes of the tomato pathotype for melanin
biosynthesis, ALM1 and BRM2-1, which encode a polyketide synthetase and a 1,3,8-trihydroxynaphthalene (THN) reductase, respectively, have been cloned and
disrupted in the pathogen. The gene-disrupted mutants, alm1 and brm2-1, had albino and brown phenotypes, respectively. The wild-type and the mutants caused the same necrotic lesions on the leaves
after inoculation with spores. These results suggest that melanin is unlikely to play a direct role in pathogenicity in the
tomato pathotype A. alternata. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the conidia of both mutants have much smoother surfaces in comparison to the
wild-type. The conidia of those mutants were more sensitive to UV light than those of the wild-type, demonstrating that melanin
confers UV tolerance. 相似文献

Compared to conventional planting material, micropropagated plantlets are highly susceptible to Fusarium wilt because they are free from beneficial root inhabitants. We aimed to introduce mixtures of beneficial microbes in the plantlets in the rooting medium under in vitro conditions rather than by field applications. Endophytes and rhizobacteria from different banana cultivars and plantation areas were screened and characterized. Under in vitro conditions, banana tissue culture plantlets were bacterized with the prospective endophytes, Bacillus subtilis strain EPB56 and EPB10 and the rhizobacteria, Pseudomonas fluorescens strain Pf1 and effects of in vitro bacterization were investigated against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense race 1 under glasshouse and field conditions. Inoculation of bananas during micropropagation allowed for the omission of minerals and salts as well as vitamins from the growing media while resulting in plantlets close to double size compared to the controls with full strength media. All endophyte and rhizobacteria strains tested resulted in significant reductions in Fusarium infection in the glasshouse and field and in significantly better plant growth. The three-way combination of bacteria resulted in 78% disease reduction and more than doubled the yields compared to the untreated controls across two field experiments. Three-way inoculation led to yields of 23 and 24 kg/ bunch compared to chemical disease control (13; 15 kg/bunch) and untreated controls (10; 13 kg/bunch) in the two field experiments. Under glasshouse conditions, activity of defence enzymes was significantly increased by all inoculation treatments. Inoculation in vitro led to the establishment of the microorganisms in the plant system before delivering to the farming community. Micropropagation combined with the establishment of a beneficial microbial consortium should complement the micropropagated plants for easier adaptation under field conditions. 相似文献

In late 2003, a new disease appeared in protected bean crops in southeastern Spain, causing a decrease of over 50% in production.
Several samples of affected plants were collected and analyzed and the agent of this disease was identified as the bacterium
Erwinia aphidicola, which had never been described as a pathogen previously. We attempted to determine the possible bacterium transmission through
seeds, using 120 commercial bean seeds from the same batch as that used in an affected farm, and 120 seeds from the fruiting
plants of the same farm. Seed coats, cotyledons and leaves of plants originating from them, were taken and analyzed. Several
of the developed symptoms on plants from commercial and fruiting plant seeds were internervial chlorosis, necrotic pits and
rough roots and they coincided with those observed on affected crops. Bacteria present in commercial seed cotyledons were
isolated and analyzed by biochemical and molecular tests. Results confirmed the presence of Erwinia aphidicola in four analyzed seeds; moreover, Bacillus simplex/Bacillus muralis, Pseudomonas mendocina, Pseudomonas putida and Paenibacillus polymyxa were also identified. 相似文献

Sixteen isolates belonging to 11 species of Trichoderma (T. asperellum, T. ceramicum, T. andinensis, T. orientalis, T. atroviride, T. viridescens, T. brevicompactum, T. harzianum, T. virens, T. koningii and T. koningiopsis) were evaluated for biological control of potato (Solanum tuberosum) stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. In dual culture tests, all antagonists significantly reduced sclerotia formation, and were able to inhibit radial growth
of the pathogen. Growth inhibition by production of volatile and non-volatile inhibitors was also measured in in vitro tests. In screening the most efficient species of Trichoderma, establishment of mycelium on sclerotia and sclerotia lysis were also considered as important biocontrol qualities. Excluding
T. asperellum, T. brevicompactum, T. andinensis and T. harzianum, all tested Trichoderma species were able to lyse sclerotia. The sclerotia-destroying species of Trichoderma and one isolate of Talaromyces flavus were tested in greenhouse tests and during 2 years of field experimentation during the 2007 and 2008 cropping seasons. After
one aerial application of spore suspension in greenhouse trials, T. koningii, T. virens, T. ceramicum and T. viridescens were the most effective bio-agents and reduced significantly disease severity, and the least biocontrol efficacy was observed
in T. flavus. Under field conditions and after five soil and foliar applications of spore suspension, all tested antagonists reduced significantly
disease incidence. T. viridescens followed by T. ceramicum showed the best results. T. flavus and T. orientalis were less effective than other tested antagonists in both field trials. 相似文献

The clustered hrp genes encoding the type III secretion system in the Japanese strains MAFF301237 and MAFF311018 of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae were sequenced and compared. The strains differ in their pathogenicity, location, and year of isolation. A 30-kbp sequence comprising 29 open reading frames (ORFs) was identical in its structural arrangement in both strains but differed from X. campestris pv. campestris, X. axonopodis pv. citri, and X. axonopodis pv. glycines in certain genes located between the hpaB-hrpF interspace region. The DNA sequence and the putative amino acid sequence in each ORF was also identical in both X. oryzae pv. oryzae strains as were the PIP boxes and the relative sequences. These facts clearly showed that the structure of the hrp gene cluster in X. oryzae pv. oryzae is unique. 相似文献
