Indole-3-acetic acid biosynthesis in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Aciculosporium take</Emphasis>, a causal agent of witches' broom of bamboo

 Aciculosporium take (Ascomycota; Clavicipitaceae) is a causal agent of witches' broom of bamboo plants. The symptoms of this disease are believed to be induced by plant hormones, particularly auxins. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was identified in cultures of this fungus in an l-tryptophan-supplemented liquid medium. IAA production was confirmed on 30 isolates of A. take from various hosts and locations at levels up to 1 mg/l. The biosynthetic pathway of IAA in A. take culture was examined by analyzing intermediate products and by feeding experiments. The results showed that the indole-3-pyruvic acid pathway (l-tryptophan → indole-3-pyruvic acid → indole acetaldehyde → IAA) was the dominant pathway in A. take.

Inconspicuous restraint of rice seedling growth by root-infecting fungi in soil of a rice paddy field

 Rice seedling growth, estimated by plant height and root development and discoloration, was better in pasteurized soil than in unpasteurized soil obtained from a flooded rice field. Rice seedlings also grew better in sterilized soil modified by adding roots harvested from the pasteurized soil than in soil modified by adding roots harvested from the unpasteurized soil. The results demonstrate that seedling growth in the rice field soil was inhibited by soil microorganisms, even though no typical symptoms such as seedling blight or damping-off appeared. Pythium aristosporum is suggested to be involved in the inhibition. Thus, it appears that inconspicuous restraint of rice seedling growth could occur in soils of rice paddy fields.

Ichitani, former professor at Osaka Prefectural University, for providing an isolate of Pythium aristosporum for comparison, and Mr. Mitsuaki Sato of Akita Prefectural College of Agriculture for technical assistance.     

金边瑞香花芽形态分化研究

 金边瑞香花芽由顶芽发育而成，花芽分化包括花序分化和小花分化两个过程，分为未分化、开始分化、花序原基分化、小花原基分化、花瓣分化、雄蕊分化和雌蕊分化7个时期，分化的顺序是向心的；分化的临界期为5月中旬，分化时期长达7个月，花芽分化既持续又表现出两个分化高峰，还受温度等因素的影响。

大豆疫病的种子处理技术研究

本试验用不同浓度的瑞毒锰锌、杀毒矾和克露进行大豆种子处理试验，结果表明，５００ｐｐｍ瑞毒锰锌对大豆疫病具有很好的治疗作用，而用杀毒矾以种子重量０．４—０．５％的剂量闷种，能显著地抑制大豆疫霉菌的侵入     

Neurospora crassa对三唑醇的抗药性分子机制研究

 通过紫外光诱变获得Neurospora crassa对三唑醇杀菌剂抗性突变体"Nc70"。用2.5μg/ml三唑醇处理,突变体内甲基甾醇与脱甲基甾醇比例变化幅度远远小于亲本敏感菌株"STA"。突变体对三唑醇的吸收能力与敏感菌株相似,但药剂在体细胞内积累较少。三唑醇处理N.crassa 2 h后,药剂在菌体内的含量趋向稳定,突变体内的药量较敏感菌体低56.1%,而麦角甾醇合成量则高于敏感菌株53.7%。     

银条茎尖培养快繁及离体根状茎的诱导

 以银条‘二细一粗’品种为试材, 研究了蔗糖浓度、激素组合对茎尖培养和快速繁殖的影响及温度、光照、蔗糖浓度等因素对根状茎离体诱导的影响。结果表明: 茎尖培养较理想的培养基为MS + 蔗糖4 % + 6-BA 0.5 mg·L ^{- 1} + NAA 0.1 mg·L ^{- 1} , 成苗率可达74.0 %。茎尖增殖较适培养基为MS + 6-BA 3.0 mg·L ^{- 1} + NAA 0.5 mg·L ^{- 1} , 每个外植体平均可产生5.6 个芽。根状茎诱导以MS + 蔗糖10 % + 6-BA 510 mg·L ^{- 1}+ CCC 500 mg·L ^{- 1}培养基, 20 ℃全黑暗培养效果最好。     

不同施氮量对甜椒碳、氮营养分配的影响

 通过水培试验，利用 N和”C双示踪技术研究了不同施氮量对甜椒结果期碳、氮营养分配的影响 结果表明：结果前期吸收的 N在低氮(NO3一N 2．5 mol·L～，NH4+一N 0．25 mol·L )营养处理下分配于果实中的比率高于中氮(NO；一N 5．0 mol·L～，NH —N 0．5 mol·L )和高氮(NO；一N 11．0 mol‘L～，NH4+一N 1．0 mol·L )营养处理。氮水平制约着 N在各器官中的分配和再运转，很少影响”C在器官间的分配，但却制约着”C的运转和再分配，表现为中氮营养最有利于 C向果实中的再运转。碳氮营养平衡有利于碳素向生殖器官的运转和积累，这是低氮营养产量前高后低，高氮营养产量前低后高，中氮营养前后期产量均较高的根本原因。
