木霉菌REMI转化体对番茄灰霉病的防治及其机理的研究

研究不同木霉菌转化体对番茄灰霉病防治效果及机理,为木霉菌生物防治的合理利用奠定基础。利用限制性内切酶介导基因整合技术(restriction enzyme-mediated integration,REMI),通过插入线性化质粒DNA获得了生物防治番茄灰霉病(Botrytis cinerea)效果优于出发菌T21菌株(出发菌)的3个木霉菌转化体Ttrm31、Ttrm34和Ttrm55,对侵染花器和叶片的灰霉病防效分别比原生物防治木霉菌株提高了16.9%和8%。木霉菌转化体的产孢能力、分生孢子的萌发率、对碳氮源的利用能力及对高温的抵抗能力都有所提高;木霉菌转化体本身产生的几丁质酶和β-1,3-葡聚糖酶的活性均比出发菌高,因此通过REMI技术可以获得新的有益木霉菌转化体,在一定程度上提高了生物菌株防治番茄灰霉病的水平。说明REMI技术可以用于改良生防木霉菌株的功能,提高生物防治效果。     

温度对异色瓢虫实验种群的影响

为探索饲养异色瓢虫的最适温度,了解其对高温的耐受性,在15、20、25、30和35℃恒温条件下,研究温度对异色瓢虫发育、存活和繁殖的影响。结果表明,在15～25℃时,异色瓢虫各虫态发育历期随温度的升高而缩短,25℃和30℃时世代历期最短,分别为23.0天和22.4天;世代发育起点温度和有效积温分别为8.54℃和432.61日.度。在20～30℃时,雌性成虫的寿命随温度的升高而缩短,且雌雄个体间无明显差异;25℃时单雌产卵量最高、产卵历期最长,为2193.0粒和63.6天,但产卵历期与20℃时无显著差异。在25℃下,异色瓢虫的种群趋势指数和内禀增长力均较高,分别为916.7和0.12,表明25℃是异色瓢虫生长、繁殖的最适温度。

Leaf spot of tobacco caused by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Fusarium proliferatum</Emphasis>

In 2014 and 2015, an unknown leaf spot disease was found on tobacco in Guangxi, China. The fungus isolated from these spots was identified as Fusarium proliferatum based on morphological characteristics and sequence analysis of translation elongation factor 1 alpha (tef1α). This fungus also reproduced leaf spot symptoms after inoculation and was reisolated from the symptomatic lesions. This is the first report of a new leaf spot caused by Fusarium proliferatum on tobacco.     

Multiplex PCR assay for simultaneous detection of MBI-D and Q<Subscript>o</Subscript>I resistance in rice blast fungus

For sustainable control of rice blast with fungicides, efficient monitoring of the emergence and spread of fungicide-resistant isolates is needed. We developed simple and reliable PCR-based DNA markers to detect isolates resistant to melanin biosynthesis inhibitor targeting scytalone dehydratase (MBI-D) and quinone outside inhibitor (Q_oI) fungicides. Through the use of DNA templates prepared from mycelia on filter paper or from infected leaves, these markers enable rapid (a few hours) genotyping of point mutations that confer resistance. The developed multiplex marker detected resistance to both MBI-D and Q_oI in a single PCR and further reduced the time needed for diagnosis.     

Five plant families support natural sporulation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cronartium ribicola</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">C. flaccidum</Emphasis> in Finland

Fusarium is one of the most destructive fungal genera whose members cause many diseases on plants, animals, and humans. Moreover, many Fusarium species secrete mycotoxins (e.g. trichothecenes and fumonisins) that are toxic to humans and animals. Fusarium isolates from date palm trees showing disease symptoms, e.g. chlorosis, necrosis and whitening, were collected from seven regions across Saudi Arabia. After single-sporing, the fungal strains were morphologically characterized. To confirm the identity of morphologically characterized Fusarium strains, three nuclear loci, two partial genes of translation elongation factor 1 α (tef1α) and β-tubulin (tub2), and the rDNA-ITS region, were amplified and sequenced. Of the 70 Fusarium strains, 70 % were identified as F. proliferatum that were recovered from six regions across Saudi Arabia. Fusarium solani (13 %), as well as one strain each of the following species: F. brachygibbosum, F. oxysporum, and F. verticillioides were also recovered. In addition, five Fusarium-like strains were recognized as Sarocladium kiliense by DNA-based data. The preliminary in vitro pathogenicity results showed that F. proliferatum had the highest colonization abilities on date palm leaflets, followed by F. solani. Although F. oxysporum f. sp. albedinis is the most serious date palm pathogen, F. proliferatum and F. solani are becoming serious pathogens and efforts should be made to restrict and control them. In addition, the potential toxin risks of strains belonging to F. proliferatum should be evaluated.     

Differential expression of molecular rust resistance components have distinctive profiles in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Coffea arabica</Emphasis> - <Emphasis Type="Italic">Hemileia vastatrix</Emphasis> interactions

Countering the economic hurdle caused by coffee leaf rust disease is most appealing at this time as it has posed a major threat to coffee production around the world. Establishing differential expression profiles at different times following pathogen invasion in both innate and acquired immunities unlocks the molecular components of resistance and susceptibility. Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was used to identify genes differentially over-expressed and repressed during incompatible and compatible interactions between Coffea arabica and Hemileia vastatrix. From 433 clones of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) sequenced, 352 were annotated and categorized of which the proportion of genes expressed during compatible interaction were relatively smaller. The result showed upregulation and downregulation of various genes at 12 and 24 h after pathogen inoculation in both interactions. The use of four different databases in searching for gene homology resulted in different number of similar sequences. BLASTx against EMBL-EBI (European Molecular Biology Laboratory-European Bioinformatics Institute) database being with the maximum (100%) hits for all the annotated sequences. RT-qPCR analysis of seven resistance-signaling genes showed similar expression patterns for most of the genes in both interactions, indicating these genes are involved in basal (non-specific) defense during which immune reactions are similar. Using SSH, we identified different types of resistance related genes that could be used for further studies towards resistant cultivar development. The potential role of some of the resistance related proteins found were also discussed.     

Recovery of fungicide-resistant <Emphasis Type="Italic">Botrytis</Emphasis> isolates from strawberry nursery plants

In a four-year survey of strawberry nursery plants, 340 Botrytis isolates were collected and examined for fungicide resistance. High percentages of isolates with resistance to members of all fungicide classes registered on strawberries in Germany were found, i.e. trifloxystrobin (90.3%), boscalid (53.8%), cyprodinil (41.5%), fludioxonil (28.2%) and fenhexamid (15.6%). Of these isolates, 10.3% possessed multiple resistance to all compounds. At 5.0%, resistance to the recently registered fungicide fluopyram was low. Dutch nursery material harboured significantly higher proportions of isolates with resistance to any or all fungicides than plants produced in Germany. These data point to nursery plants as a possible route of introducing fungicide-resistant Botrytis strains into commercial strawberry fields.
