大豆品种(系)抗疫霉根腐病基因的连锁SSR标记分析

 大豆疫霉根腐病是大豆破坏性病害之一。利用抗病品种是防治该病的唯一有效的方法。迄今,已经鉴定了15个抗大豆疫霉根腐病基因(Rps基因),而且大豆部分基因都获得了不同类型的分子标记。本研究根据以前抗病基因推导结果选择26个可能含有Rps1基因座位等位基因或(和)Rps4基因的大豆品种(系),利用分别与Rps1a和Rps4紧密连锁的SSR标记进行抗病基因的分子检测,通过比较含有已知抗病基因对照大豆品种(系)分子标记检测结果并综合以往基因推导结果推断检测品种(系)的Rps基因。在选择的26个品种(系)中,长农14号被证明含有Rps1a,周豆13和铁95068-5含有Rps1a与Rps4基因组合,品系50794、科8924-3和合豆1号含有Rps4;有11个品种(系)存在含有Rps1a的证据、品系50052被推断含有Rps1c与Rps3b基因组合,但不排除这些品种(系)在Rps1座位含有一个新等位基因的可能性。另外,有7个品种(系)的所含抗病基因不能确定,它们可能含有新的Rps基因。     

Phytophthora root and crown rot of raspberry in Bulgaria

Root and crown rot of raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) was observed in a plantation at the experimental station of small fruits in Kostinbrod, Bulgaria. Isolates ofPhytophthora spp. were obtained from diseased plants. Colony morphology, growth rates, features of asexual and sexual structures were studied and as a result twoPhytophthora species were identified:Phytophthora citricola Saw. andPhytophora citrophthora (R.E. Sm. & E.H. Sm.) Leonian. Their pathogenicity was confirmed in artificial inoculation experiments. The isozyme (-esterase) patterns ofP. citrophthora andP. citricola isolates from raspberry and from the collection of the CBS, Baarn the Netherlands were compared, using micro-gel electrophoresis. Both species are reported for the first time as pathogens of raspberry in Bulgaria. This is only the second report in phytopathological literature ofP. citrophthora on raspberry, the first being from Chile [Latorre and Munoz, 1993].     

Variable response of open-pollinated seedling progeny of avocado to Phytophthora root rot

Phytophthora root rot, caused byPhytophthora cinnamomi Rands, is the most important disease of avocado (Persea americana Miller). In an attempt to identify root rot-resistant rootstocks that could ultimately be used under conditions in southern Florida, we screened open-pollinated progeny of avocado from the National Germplasm Repository in Miami. From 1996 to 1998, a total of 2,355 seedlings from 51 accessions were examined in potting mix artificially infested withP. cinnamomi. Most seedlings developed severe root rot, but tolerance was observed in some families (i.e., progeny of certain accessions). Although the most susceptible families developed mean disease ratings of up to 97% root necrosis, mean ratings for the most tolerant families were less than 60%. There was also a strong relationship between the racial background of the female parent and the tolerance of seedlings. Seedlings of the West Indian race and hybrids between it and the Guatemalan race were significantly more tolerant than those from other parents (P< 0.05). Individuals in several families developed < 50% root necrosis, the arbitrary standard of tolerance in this study. Twelve families accounted for 82% (188 of 229) of the tolerant seedlings, and only two of these did not have a West Indian or Guatemalan × West Indian pedigree. Broad-sense heritability for PRR tolerance was 0.45. This is the first report on the inheritance of PRR tolerance in avocado and on the influence of genotype and racial pedigree under controlled conditions.     

Interaction between Likubin Bacterium and Phytophthora parasitica in Citrus Hosts

Infection with Likubin bacterium (LB) followed by Phytophthora parasitica increased the mortality of sour orange and pummelo seedlings, and enhanced the P. parasitica-induced root rot in all the four types of citrus tested. The LB-induced enhancement of root infection by P. parasitica was apparent within 1h of exposure to zoospore suspension. The enhancement of P. parasitica-induced root rot was affected by the infection sequence. Inoculation of sour orange seedlings with LB before P. parasitica was more effective in increasing P. parasitica-induced root rot than LB and P. parasitica concomitantly or LB after P. parasitica. Grafting P. parasitica susceptible scions of ponkan (Citrus reticulata) onto P. parasitica-tolerant rootstocks of sour orange greatly increased the susceptibility of rootstocks to P. parasitica. Results also demonstrate the enhancement of LB-induced symptoms by P. parasitica in citrus plants.     

Widespread Detection of Phytophthora Taxon Salixsoil in the Littoral Zone of Lake Constance, Germany

An unnamed ITS clade 6 Phytophthora was frequently isolated from rhizosphere soil of reed (Phragmites australis) growing on the littoral zone of Lake Constance. The isolates closely resembled P. gonapodyides, having internally proliferating, non-papillate sporangia, a rather high temperature optimum for growth (30 °C), and being sexually sterile. ITS sequence analysis revealed that they were identical to the as yet unnamed Phytophthora taxon Salixsoil, originally isolated from Salix roots in the UK and Alnus debris in Denmark. The taxon was readily isolated from permanently as well as occasionally flooded reed sites using standard baiting procedures, indicating a wide distribution in the Lake Constance littoral zone. In an in vitro leaf inoculation assay P. taxon Salixsoil proved to be more aggressive towards Salix alba than P. gonapodyides. The new taxon may be of significance as a root pathogen of woody plants in moist or flooded situations occurring in alluvial forest/plant communities. We propose that due to its close resemblance to P. gonapodyides the taxon might have passed unnoticed in the past, and possibly is much more widely distributed than previously recognised.     

大豆与疫霉菌非亲和互作早期差异显示基因的表达分析

大豆疫霉根腐病是大豆的毁灭性病害。为了深入了解大豆对疫霉菌的分子抗病机制,以大豆疫霉菌1号生理小种游动孢子接种抗性品种绥农10的根部及下胚轴,通过反转录差异显示技术分离到疫霉菌侵染0、0.5、1、2和4h后大豆下胚轴和茎部的差异表达基因,其中至少有8个基因与抗病相关。接种后0.5 h开始上调表达的有肉桂酸-4-羟化酶基因、ATP合成酶β亚基基因,以及类花生泛素结合酶基因;接种后1h和2h依次开始上调表达的有尿苷二磷酸-N-乙酰基-α-D-氨基半乳糖基因和豌豆蓝铜蛋白基因;接种后4 h才上调表达的有TGA型碱性亮氨酸拉链基因、大豆环孢素基因和14-3-3蛋白基因。这8个基因中有1个基因与信号传导有关、4个基因与抗病和防御有关、2个基因与转录调控有关、1个基因与能量代谢有关。研究表明,以上8个基因在疫霉菌游动孢子萌发、侵入大豆和在大豆体内扩展过程中起着重要作用。     

Root and stem rot of chrysanthemum caused by five <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pythium</Emphasis> species in Japan

Root and stem rot with wilt of above ground parts of cultivated chrysanthemums was first found in Ibaraki, Toyama and Kagawa prefectures, Japan in 2002 and 2003. Pythium species were isolated from the diseased tissues and identified as P. dissotocum, P. oedochilum, P. sylvaticum, P. ultimum var. ultimum and asexual strains of P. helicoides based on their morphologies and sequences of rDNA-ITS region. All the Pythium species were strongly pathogenic to chrysanthemums in pot conditions and were reisolated from the inoculated plants. Because Pythium root and stem rot of chrysanthemum has never been reported in Japan, we propose that this is a new disease that can be caused by the five Pythium species.     

Phytophthora boehmeriae boll rot: a new threat to cotton cultivation in the mediterranean region

A boll rot of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) was observed for the first time in Greece in August 1993 in Larissa and Volos counties, and in August and September 1995 in Trikala and Phthiotis counties. Fungi of the genusPhytophthora were isolated from diseased plants. Morphological characteristics of the pathogen were recorded on mounts made directly from the infected tissues or after growth of the isolated fungus on corn meal agar or sterile distilled water. Colony morphology, growth rates, features of asexual and sexual structures and maximum growth temperatures were examined. APhytophthora species new to Europe,Phytophthora boehmeriae Sawada, attacking cotton bolls, was identified. The pathogenicity of the isolates was confirmed by artificial inoculations of detached cotton bolls. Analysis of α-esterase isozymes revealed unique banding patterns for isolates ofP. boehmeriae compared with those ofP. cactorum andP. parasitica, which arePhytophthora species with similar morphology.     

Adzuki bean leaf infection by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Phytophthora vignae</Emphasis> f. sp. <Emphasis Type="Italic">adzukicola</Emphasis> and resistance evaluation using detached leaves inoculated with zoospores

We examined the response of adzuki bean leaves to infection by Phytophthora vignae f. sp. adzukicola and determined whether inoculated leaves can be used to evaluate cultivar resistance. Detached adzuki bean leaves were inoculated with zoospores, and the resulting symptoms were diagnosed. Resistant reactions were characterized by dark brown, speckled lesions or a lack of symptoms, while susceptible reactions were characterized by water-soaked spreading lesions. In an inoculation experiment using a combination of three differential cultivars and three races, the response of 10-day-old primary leaves accurately differentiate between race-specific resistance and susceptibility of adzuki cultivars.     

Nitric oxide reduces oxidative stress generated by lactofen in soybean plants

Nitric oxide (NO) is a molecule able to directly scavenge ROS and end chain reactions, which can be generated by some herbicides. This study aimed to evaluate whether the pretreatment of soybean plants with sodium nitroprusside (SNP) solution, a NO-donor substance, provides protection against oxidative stress generated by lactofen. Soybean plants were pretreated with SNP before lactofen application. The levels of lipoperoxides and photosynthetic pigments were quantified, and the activity of the antioxidant enzymes glutathione S-transferase (GST), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POD) was assessed. Although lipid peroxidation was not completely prevented, NO was able to scavenge ROS generated by the lactofen action, avoiding the photosynthetic pigment breakdown. Consequently, ROS scavenging by NO leads to a decrease in the available substrate for the antioxidant enzymes SOD, CAT, and POD, which are essential to protect plants under oxidative stress situations such as absence of GST induction by H₂O₂.     

Phylogenetic analyses of plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria isolated from tomato,lettuce, and Japanese pepper plants in Hyogo Prefecture,Japan

Approximately 30,000 fluorescent bacterial strains isolated from tomato, lettuce, eggplant, Chinese cabbage, and Japanese pepper plants at seven different locations in Hyogo Prefecture, were screened for plant-growth-promoting (PGP) activity to induce disease resistance against bacterial wilt in tomato. The 37 strains that had higher PGP activity were subjected to molecular phylogenetic analyses using the sequences of the 16S rRNA, gyrB and rpoD genes. Most of the strains were identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens or its close relative, P. putida, while a few strains were grouped with more distantly related bacterial species such as Enterobacter and Stenotrophomonas. The phylogenetic relationships among tomato and lettuce isolates mostly coincided with the source locality and host plants, with a few exceptions. In contrast, isolates from Japanese pepper plants did not form their own cluster but represented several different bacterial species.     

DNA sequence analysis of ribosomal ITS region 1 of Phytophthora vignae f. sp. adzukicola, the pathogen that causes stem rot of adzuki bean

Sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region 1 were used to examine the phylogenetic relationships among races of 19 isolates of Phytophthora vignae f. sp. adzukicola and between this forma specialis and three isolates of the closely related P. vignae f. sp. vignae. The ITS 1 sequences were highly conserved (> 98.7% similarity) among representatives of both formae speciales groups. The results of this study indicate that P. vignae is a monophyletic group. The nucleotide sequence data reported are available in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases under the accession nos. AB120062–AB120080 and AB120122     

干旱胁迫对野生及栽培大豆幼苗生理特性及抗氧化酶活性的影响

采用盆栽试验,研究了干旱胁迫对野生及栽培大豆生理特性及抗氧化酶活性的影响。即用相对含水量分别为80%、70%、60%、50%、40%、30%的土壤分别栽种野生大豆和栽培大豆,测定其根系活力、细胞膜透性、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性、过氧化物酶(POD)活性及丙二醛（MDA）含量。结果表明：在同样的土壤相对含水量以及干旱胁迫程度下,相对于栽培大豆,野生大豆表现出高根系活力和抗氧化酶活性以及低细胞膜透性和丙二醛含量。由此可以说明野生大豆的抗干旱能力高于栽培大豆。     

Real-time detection of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Phytophthora nicotianae</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">P. citrophthora</Emphasis>in citrus roots and soil

Two primers, specific for Phytophthora nicotianae (Pn6) and P. citrophthora (Pc2B), were modified to obtain Scorpion primers for real-time identification and detection of both pathogens in citrus nursery soils and roots. Multiplex PCR with dual-labelled fluorogenic probes allowed concurrent identification of both species ofPhytophthora among 150 fungal isolates, including 14 species of Phytophthora. Using P. nicotianaespecific primers a delayed and lower fluorescence increase was also obtained from P. cactorumDNA. However, in separate real-time amplifications, the aspecific increase of fluorescence from P. cactorum was avoided by increasing the annealing temperature. In multiplex PCR, with a series of 10-fold DNA dilutions, the detection limit was 10 pg l^-1 for P. nicotianaeand 100 pg l^–1 for P. citrophthora, whereas in separate reaction DNA up to 1 pg l^-1 was detected for both pathogens.Simple and rapid procedures for direct DNA extraction from soil and roots were utilised to yield DNA whose purity and quality was suitable for PCR assays. By combining these protocols with a double amplification (nested Scorpion-PCR) using primers Ph2-ITS4 amplifying DNA from the main Phytophthora species (first round) and PnB5-Pn6 Scorpion and Pc2B Scorpion-Pc7 (second round), it was possible to achieve real-time detection of P. nicotianaeand P. citrophthora from roots and soil. The degree of sensitivity was similar to that of traditional detection methods based on the use of selective media. The analyses of artificially and naturally infested soil showed a high and significant correlation between the concentration of pathogen propagules and the real-time PCR cycle threshold.     

大豆疫霉细胞凋亡相关基因的鉴定与表达分析

为探讨大豆疫霉Phytophthora sojae细胞凋亡潜在的调控机制,根据已知的细胞凋亡蛋白,利用在线工具BLASTP、pFAM和SMART在大豆疫霉蛋白组数据库中鉴定细胞凋亡同源蛋白并构建其进化树,通过转录组数据和实时荧光定量PCR技术分析细胞凋亡相关基因在大豆疫霉生长、发育及侵染不同时期的表达情况。结果显示:在大豆疫霉中共鉴定到13个细胞凋亡同源蛋白,包括核酸内切酶G(PsNUC1)、细胞色素c(PsCYCS)、凋亡诱导因子(PsAIF)、丝氨酸蛋白酶(PsHtrA-1、PsHtrA-2和PsHtrA-3)、多聚ADP核糖聚合酶(PsPARP-1、PsPARP-2和PsPARP-3)和TatD核酸酶(PsTatD1、PsTatD2、PsTatD3和PsTatD4)。在进化上,PsNUC1、PsCYCS、PsAIF、PsHtrA-1、PsPARP-1、PsPARP-2、PsPARP-3、PsTatD1和PsTatD2与人及秀丽隐杆线虫Caenorhabditis elegans的同源蛋白亲缘关系较近,而与真菌相关蛋白亲缘关系较远,PsHtrA-2、PsHtrA-3、PsTatD3和PsTatD4与酿酒酵母Saccharomyces cerevisiae相关蛋白相似度更高,说明大豆疫霉细胞凋亡蛋白在进化中发生了较大变异。大豆疫霉细胞凋亡相关基因PsHtrA-1和PsRARP-1在孢子囊阶段诱导表达,PsHtrA-2和PsRARP-2在游动孢子阶段上调表达,PsAIF、PsHtrA-3、PsRARP-1和PsRARP-2在侵染阶段明显诱导表达,PsCYCS在侵染阶段下调表达。细胞凋亡相关基因在大豆疫霉不同阶段的表达模式有较大差异,说明细胞凋亡在大豆疫霉生长、发育及致病过程中具有重要作用。

Collar rot caused byPhytophthora citrophthora on pear trees in Greece

A severe crown rot of pear trees of cultivar ‘Kondoula’ grafted on quince rootstock was observed in Greece. Isolations from the affected tissues repeatadly yielded aPhytophthora sp. that was determined by morphological and physiological characteristics to beP. citrophthora. The pathogenicity of two of theP. citrophthora isolates was tested by inoculating trunks of 2-year-old pear trees by mycelial agar disks. Thirty-two days after inoculation all inoculated trees were infected. Although the pear isolates could not be differentiated from isolates ofP. palmivora orP. nicotianae based on isozyme profiles of α-esterase or lactate dehydrogenase, RAPD profiles with one selected primer differentiated the pear isolates from the other species and revealed an electrophoretic banding pattern similar to that of aP. citrophthora standard. This is the first report ofP. citrophthora on pear trees in Greece.     

New multilocus genotypes of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Phytophthora infestans</Emphasis> in Japan

Twelve isolates of Japanese Phytophthora infestans, which differed from the major genotypes US-1, JP-1, JP-2, and JP-3, were analyzed for RG57 fingerprints, mtDNA haplotypes, two allozyme genotypes, and mating types. Genotypes JP-1.1, JP-2.1, JP-2.2, JP-3.1, and JP-4 were newly defined. JP-1.1 and JP-2.1 were isolated discontinuously from potato fields in several years, and JP-1.1 was found in Hokkaido and Kagoshima. These results show that some minor genotypes can overwinter and disperse from their original site.
