The potential for the Rapid Screening of Potato Cultivars (Solanum tuberosum) for Resistance to Powdery Scab (Spongospora subterranea) using a Laboratory Bioassay

Powdery scab of potato, once established in a field, is difficult to control because of the longevity of the resting spores (cystosori) of the causal organism, Spongospora subterranea f.sp. subterranea. Host resistance is likely to be the most efficient in a long-term control strategy for preventing build-up of field inoculum and spread of the disease. Resistance screening of potato cultivars is mostly done in laborious field trials where disease development is likely to be unpredictable. A bioassay with potato tissue cultured plantlets and cystosori as inoculum is described and was tested for its potential to screen potato cultivars at an early stage for their relative susceptibility to powdery scab by comparing the lab results with field data. With cystosori inoculum of Swiss origin, the laboratory test showed clear differences between the potato cultivars in the severity of zoosporangial root infection which correlated better with ranked tuber infection data, compared to root galling. There are apparent differences in the relative trends in susceptibility between roots and tubers of five selected cultivars when using naturally infested soil instead of prepared cystosori as inoculum in the lab bioassay. Furthermore, differences in the severity of zoosporangial root infection of two selected cultivars were found when cystosori from different countries where used as inoculum. A possible host genotype × pathogen interaction is discussed. The bioassay has the potential to screen and select for resistant material at an early breeding stage thus making field trials not unnecessary but more economical. It will allow the use of a standard set of pathogen collections and facilitate testing for inoculum virulence in infested soils.

使用苏云金芽胞杆菌库斯塔克亚种（Btk）可湿性粉剂对小菜蛾进行继代汰选获得F80代和F100代抗性品系。通过分别测定Cry1Ab、Cry1Ac、Cry1Ah和Cry1Ca四种杀虫晶体蛋白对小菜蛾Btk抗性品系F80代和F100代的室内毒力,明确了小菜蛾Btk抗性品系对四种Bt杀虫晶体蛋白抗性发展规律。研究结果表明,汰选至F80代时,Cry1Ca对小菜蛾的毒力最高,LC50约12.1mg/L,其次为Cry1Ac,LC50约47.7mg/L;而汰选至F100代时,仍以Cry1Ca对小菜蛾的毒力最高,LC50约21.4 mg/L,其次为Cry1Ab,LC50约72.2 mg/L。与相对敏感品系相比,小菜蛾抗性品系对Cry1Ac的抗性发展较快（抗性倍数高达67.3～106.8倍）,对Cry1Ab的次之（抗性倍数高达60.0～66.1倍）,而对Cry1Ca和Cry1Ah的抗性发展较慢（抗性倍数分别为3.4～6.0倍和1.6～2.5倍）。以上结果说明,在主效杀虫基因为Cry1Ac的Btk药剂选择压力下,小菜蛾对四种Bt杀虫晶体蛋白的抗性发展速度差异较大,且Cry1Ac和Cry1Ab存在交互抗性风险...

半解析数值法分析四边自由中厚板的受力特性

根据Reissner中厚板理论,结合胡海昌的解耦函数法,本文构造出一种能满足全部自由边界条件的试函数,并以此建立两个广义位移,用该位移求得双参数地基上四边自由矩形中厚板弯曲问题的解析解.利用最小平方误差法并结合数值算例,重点探讨了板弯剪刚度比、地基刚度以及地基剪切模量对弹性地基上四边自由中厚板受力特性影响规律.结果显示:(1)Vlazov地基模型优于Winkle地基模型,因为它考虑了地基剪切刚度的影响,使得板的内力和挠度均有减小,发挥了地基的潜力;(2)当地基刚度较小时,地基的剪切模量对板的挠度和内力的影响显著;当地基的刚度较大时,剪切模量对板的内力和挠度的影响不明显.本文计算精度高,计算工作量小且便于对参数进行分析,以及提供数值分析法判据等多项特点.

High‐level of resistance to spinosad,emamectin benzoate and carbosulfan in populations of Thrips tabaci collected in Israel

BACKGROUND: The onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman, is a major pest of several crop plants in the genus Allium, such as onions, garlic and chives. In Israel, these crops are grown in open fields and in protected housing. This thrips is usually controlled by the application of chemical insecticides. In recent years, spinosad, emamectin benzoate and carbosulfan have been the major insecticides used for the control of the onion thrips. In the last 4 years, growers of chives and green onion from several regions of Israel have reported a significant decrease in the efficacy of insecticides used to control the onion thrips. RESULTS: The susceptibility of 14 populations of the onion thrips, collected mainly from chives between the years 2007 and 2011, to spinosad, emamectin benzoate and carbosulfan was tested using a laboratory bioassay. The majority of the populations showed significant levels of resistance to at least one of the insecticides. LC₅₀ values calculated for two of the studied populations showed that the resistance factor for spinosad compared with the susceptible population is 21 393, for carbosulfan 54 and for emamectin benzoate 36. Only two populations, collected from organic farms, were susceptible to the insecticides tested. CONCLUSION: This is the first report of a high resistance level to spinosad, the major insecticide used to control the onion thrips. Resistance cases to spinosad were associated with failures to control the pest. Populations resistant to spinosad also had partial or complete resistance to other insecticides used for controlling the onion thrips. Copyright © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry     

The Element-free Method for Elastic Foundation Plates(EFM)

The application of the element-free method in the bending problems of plates has not been found since it was proposed.In this paper,the element-free method is applied to compute the deflection and the moment of the elastic foundation plate with free boundary,and the corresponding formulas as well as the computer program are developed.Numerical examples show that the accuracy of the method used in the foundation plate problem is satisfactory.Therefore,it is reasonable and feasible for using the element-free method in the plate bending problems.
