非亲和性稻瘟病菌对水稻的诱导抗性

为研究稻瘟病菌Magnaporthe oryzae不同菌株间的相互作用,选择与单抗性基因系水稻IRBL5-M （携带抗性基因Pi5）表现为亲和性的菌株HN52与非亲和性的菌株HN119为研究对象,将其单独或混合接种到单抗性基因系水稻IRBL5-M中,并通过荧光显微镜观察接种后水稻叶鞘的发病情况及病斑面积,测定接种后水稻内相关抗性基因OsWRKY45、OsNPR1、OsPR10、OsMAPK2的表达量以及活性氧的变化。结果显示,相较于单独接种亲和性菌株,混合接种后单抗性基因系水稻IRBL5-M病斑发病面积减少;混合接种中亲和性菌株HN52菌丝侵染能力降低,侵染菌丝细胞间扩展率显著降低73.13%;同时单抗性基因系水稻IRBL5-M中OsWRKY45、OsNPR1、OsPR10和OsMAPK2抗性基因表达量显著增加,水稻叶片中活性氧含量增加,表明在菌株混合侵染过程中,非亲和性菌株可通过激发水稻的抗性反应来降低亲和性菌株对水稻的侵染程度。     

Transgenic expression of a sorghum gene (SbLRR2) encoding a simple extracellular leucine-rich protein enhances resistance against necrotrophic pathogens in Arabidopsis

Plant leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain-containing proteins are known to play important roles in signaling transduction and defense responses. In sorghum, SbLRR2 is pathogen-inducible gene encoding a simple extracellular LRR protein. Here, we demonstrated an earlier and stronger expression of SbLRR2 in a sorghum resistant genotype in comparison to a susceptible genotype following inoculation with the anthracnose pathogen (Colletotrichum sublineolum). In addition, SbLRR2 expression was found to be induced strongly by methyl-jasmonate treatment. Functional analysis was performed in SbLRR2 over-expression (OE) Arabidopsis plants, which showed enhanced resistance against the necrotrophic pathogens Botrytis cinerea and Alternaria brassicicola. In addition, the OE lines were found to have elevated expression of several jasmonate acid (JA)-associated genes and higher endogenous JA contents. Hence, the SbLRR2-mediated defense responses in transgenic Arabidopsis are likely to be dependent on JA-signaling through increased JA production. On the other hand, the OE lines remained susceptible to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato like the wild type plants. Consistently, there was no up-regulation of salicylic acid (SA) defense marker gene expression or SA levels in the OE lines. Our results suggested that SbLRR2 is potentially useful for enhancing resistance against necrotrophic pathogens in transgenic dicot crops.

Proteomic analysis of grapevine stem in response to Xylella fastidiosa inoculation

Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is the bacterial causal agent of Pierce’s disease (PD) as well as other economically important diseases in a number of agronomic, horticultural and ornamental plants. The objective of this research was to tentatively identify proteins that are differentially expressed in grapevines and involved in disease development or defense responses to Xf-inoculation. We comparatively analyzed proteins differentially expressed in Xf-inoculated grape stems using a pair of siblings of 9621-67 (highly susceptible) and 9621-94 (highly resistant) from a cross of Vitis rupestris × Vitis arizonica. Total proteins were extracted from the stems of uninoculated controls and Xf-inoculated plants at 1, 6, and 12 weeks after inoculation, separated by a 2D-PAGE system, and spots representing differentially expressed proteins were analyzed and tentatively identified using LC/MS/MS. Protein identification was performed using BLASTp and tBLASTn against NCBI non-redundant protein databases and EST databases, respectively. Ten tentatively identified proteins were differentially expressed at different time points after inoculation. A thaumatin-like protein and the pathogenesis-related protein 10 from both genotypes, and the 40S ribosomal protein S25 from the susceptible genotype were up-regulated in response to Xf-inoculation. Furthermore, the expression of the thaumatin-like protein increased sharply 12 weeks post-inoculation in the PD-resistant genotype only. Three heat shock proteins, 17.9 kDa class II, protein 18 and 21 were highly expressed in healthy tissues compared with those in tissues infected with Xf, and heat shock protein 21 was not detectable in the Xf-inoculated PD-susceptible genotype. In addition, a down-regulated putative ripening related protein was found in the Xf-inoculated PD-susceptible genotype. Glycoprotein and formate dehydrogenase were identified in the PD-resistant genotype and their expression was constant during plant development. A putative GTP-binding protein was down-regulated in the PD-susceptible genotype. Our results revealed that differential expression of proteins in response to Xf-inoculation was genotype and tissue development stage dependent. The specific roles of these candidate proteins in alleviation or aggravation of this disease are under investigation. The information obtained in this study will aid in the understanding of the mechanisms related to the host–pathogen interactions involved in PD.     

水稻稻曲病室内人工接种技术

为提高稻曲病人工接种的发病效果和稳定性,在温棚条件下采用水稻孕穗期注射接种法分别研究了稻曲病菌不同接种体、培养时间、接种浓度和接种时期的接种效果。采用病菌马铃薯蔗糖液体培养基（potato sucrose broth,PSB）作为接种体,其穗发病率为100%,明显好于病菌米糠培养液（23.33%）。病菌在PSB中培养5～7天接种效果较好,随病菌培养天数的延长,接种效果明显下降。接种的分生孢子浓度越低水稻病穗率和病粒数也越低。在水稻品种两优培九孕穗中后期,采用含分生孢子浓度为4×106个/mL的病菌PSB培养液注射接种,穗发病率达100%,平均病粒数35.1粒,最高达87粒。研究表明,温棚条件下建立的稻曲病人工接种技术能获得稳定的发病效果,并可区别水稻品种间的抗性差异。

Characterization of tolerance to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp., cubense infection in banana using suppression subtractive hybridization and gene expression analysis

Identification of defense response genes in the host is one of the most essential steps in understanding disease resistance mechanisms in plants. In this study, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) library was constructed to study the genes involved in response to fusarium wilt disease in banana. Here cDNAs from a tolerant genotype Musa acuminata spp. burmannicoides ‘Calcutta-4’ infected by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp., cubense were used as tester and cDNAs from uninfected ‘Calcutta-4’ as driver population. After hybridization and cloning, EST library of 83 non-redundant clones were obtained. Based on sequence analysis and homology search in NCBI database the clones were assigned to different functional categories. The expression pattern of selected eight defense related genes namely peroxidase, glutaredoxin, polyphenol oxidase, glutamate synthase, S-adenosyl methionine synthetase, 14-3-3, heat shock protein, mannose binding lectin were analyzed through real-time PCR in contrasting genotypes. It was observed that the expression of these genes during initial progression of disease was found to be higher in tolerant genotype ‘Calcutta-4’ than in susceptible genotype ‘Kadali’.     

An optimized screening method for identifying levels of resistance to Crinipellis perniciosa in cocoa (Theobroma cacao)

The effects of host age, leaf number, host type (clone or seedling), pathogen spore concentration and incubation time on inoculation with Crinipellis perniciosa (witches' broom disease of cocoa) were studied in greenhouse experiments using susceptible cocoa genotypes. Three methods of inoculation (agar-drop, water-drop and spray) were also tested. An optimized inoculation method was selected and tested for its repeatability as well as its ability to discriminate between various levels of resistance to C. perniciosa in cocoa. The optimized method (350 000 viable basidiospores per mL, 60 h incubation, agar-drop technique) produced 100% infection repeatedly, on both clonal and seedling plants of a susceptible genotype. Seedling age (2–12 months) and leaf number did not significantly affect the percentage of plants with symptoms or broom characteristics. This method discriminated effectively between the various levels of resistance in 14 cocoa genotypes and is recommended as an inoculation method to identify levels of resistance in germplasm collections. Symptom severity was shown to be a better measure of resistance than infection success.     

Pepper 9- and 13-lipoxygenase genes are differentially activated by two tobamoviruses and by hormone treatments

Two novel pepper 13-lipoxygenase (LOX) genes were cloned and their expressions were compared with those of three 9-LOX genes in pepper leaves inoculated with two different tobamoviruses. Obuda pepper virus (ObPV) inoculation led to a massive induction of pathogenesis-related genes and to the development of hypersensitive reaction (incompatible interaction), while Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) inoculation resulted in a compatible interaction. Both virus infections markedly activated the expression of the two novel 13-LOXs. The magnitudes of induction of 13-LOXs did not differ substantially between the ObPV- and PMMoV-inoculated leaves. The induction of three 9-LOXs was markedly more robust and rapid in ObPV-inoculated leaves than in PMMoV-inoculated ones. LOXs were very differentially activated in pepper leaves treated with defense hormones. A large number of hormone-related cis-regulatory elements were identified in the promoter regions of LOXs. ObPV inoculation resulted also in the substantial up-regulation of an omega-6-fatty acid desaturase gene. Our results suggest that 9-LOX-dependent pathways are more probably involved in the suppression of virus replication than 13-LOX-dependent plant responses.

Aggressive and mild Potato virus Y isolates trigger different specific responses in susceptible potato plants

Differences in the early responses of two potato cultivars, Igor and Nadine, to two isolates of Potato virus Y (PVY), the aggressive PVY^NTN and the mild PVY^N, were monitored. Microarray and quantitative real‐time PCR analyses were carried out to identify differentially expressed genes after inoculation with each virus isolate. Additionally, symptom severity and development was observed and the amount of virus isolate accumulated in systemically infected leaves was evaluated, where a significantly higher amount of PVY^NTN was detected. Microarray analysis revealed 572, 1288 and 1706 differentially expressed genes at 0·5, 12 and 48 h post‐inoculation, respectively in cv. Igor, with a similar pattern observed in cv. Nadine. Microarray and quantitative real‐time PCR results implied an earlier accumulation of sugars and lower photosynthesis in leaves inoculated with the aggressive isolate than in leaves inoculated with the mild isolate. The PVY^NTN isolate did not activate early differential expression of the Fe‐superoxide dismutase and pectin methylesterase inhibitor (PMEI) genes, indicating a delay in plant response relative to that following PVY^N inoculation. Differences in the expression of the β‐glucanase‐I gene were also observed in early plant responses to inoculation with each virus isolate.

Ralstonia solanacearum preferential colonization in the shoot apical meristem explains its pathogenicity pattern in tomato seedlings

Ralstonia solanacearum causes a lethal bacterial wilt disease in many plants by colonizing the vascular tissues of the hosts. Upon inoculation of tomato seedlings through either leaf or root, the wilting symptoms occur first at the apical region and then proceed downward along the shoot. The systemic order of the disease initiation and progression in the host, independent of the site of pathogen inoculation, is yet to be investigated. To understand the disease progression more clearly, we have carried out a systematic study of the pathogen localization by GUS staining of inoculated tomato seedlings, at 24-hour intervals from 0 days post-inoculation (dpi) to 5 dpi. In both inoculation methods, pathogen colonization was observed at 1 dpi at the apical meristem as well as the cotyledon leaves, where the disease initiates. As the disease progressed, colonization by the pathogen towards the lower region of the shoot was observed. Disease consistency and pathogenicity magnitude were observed to be higher using the leaf inoculation method than the root inoculation method. Several R. solanacearum transposon-induced mutants that were reduced in virulence by root inoculation but virulent by leaf inoculation were obtained. Using GUS staining, it was observed that these mutants were unable to localize in the shoot region when inoculated in the root. Our study indicates that the apical meristem and the cotyledon leaves are the first regions to be colonized in inoculated tomato seedlings, which might explain the disease initiation from this region.
