Erwinia amylovora populations resistant to oxolinic acid in Israel: prevalence, persistence and fitness

Oxolinic acid (OA) has been the only bactericide used against fire blight in pear and quince orchards in Israel since 1998. OA-resistant Erwinia amylovora strains (Ea-OA^R) were detected in several orchards in two restricted areas in the northern Galilee region during 1999–2001. In the following years, resistant strains could not be detected in some of these locations. Documenting the fate of Ea-OA^R strains in commercial orchards at eight sites in northern Israel during 2000/03 revealed that the resistant population appeared irrespective of the number of sprays applied and the severity of the disease. The persistence of the Ea-OA^R populations varied from site to site, ranging from 4 to 20 months; these differences could be attributed to the fire blight management activities of growers. Comparative studies on the fitness of Ea-OA^R and E. amylovora strains sensitive to OA (Ea-OA^S) were conducted in vitro and in planta using two strains of each group. In four of the six comparisons, disease incidence on detached blossoms inoculated with Ea-OA^S was significantly higher than that on blossoms inoculated with Ea-OA^R. In two experiments conducted on 8-year-old pear trees grown under netting, the colonization of Ea-OA^S in blossoms, annual shoots and perennial spurs was significantly higher than that of the Ea-OA^R. In two experiments conducted on 2-year-old trees grown under netting in an experimental station, the incidence of shoots exhibiting fire blight symptoms and the rate of symptom progress within the branches were significantly higher in trees inoculated with Ea-OA^S than in those inoculated with Ea-OA^R. The results of this study suggest that OA-resistant E. amylovora strains have lower fitness than wild-type strains. These findings may have implications for fire blight management.     

苹果斯氏刺瘿螨发生与危害调查

斯氏刺瘿螨是四川省苹果上新发现的一种危害苹果叶片的害螨，以雌成螨在苹果芽的芽腋两侧越冬，翌年苹果芽萌动时开始出蛰。全年以５月中旬至６月中旬发生数量最多。气候温暖、低湿、少雨发生重，相反则轻。在调查的８个品种中，叶片多茸毛的品种受害重。天敌主要为捕食螨

采后热空气处理对金冠苹果后熟衰老及病害的影响

金冠苹果采用38℃,72h或96h热空气处理,可降低0℃贮藏中果实的呼吸强度和乙烯释放量,延缓非溶性果胶的降解,维持较高的硬度、脆度,同时也会加速果皮的褪绿变黄和固酸比的上升,尤其是38℃96h处理的作用效果更为明显,显著提高了货架期后(20℃7d)苹果的质地品质和可接受程度,延缓衰老。苹果分别接种扩展青霉、灰葡萄孢霉,0℃和20℃条件下其病害发生率和腐烂均很严重,采用38℃96h热空气处理可以完全控制病害的发生,避免腐烂。可见,热空气处理一方面能延缓金冠苹果的后熟衰老,另一方面还能控制贮期病害的发生。     

不同果袋类型对紫花杧的套袋效果

以主栽品种紫花杧为试材,探讨不同果袋类型的套袋效果.结果表明:套袋可大幅度降低采收果的果面流胶和雨水污染,极显著地降低果面虫伤率.套袋可改变采收时的果面颜色,但不同果袋类型间存在差异.后熟完成时,果面均为品种固有颜色,不因果袋种类而改变.套袋能促进果实后熟转黄和果色均匀,能显著降低炭疽病的病果率,但不同果袋对蒂腐病的防效存在较大差异.套袋能提高可溶性固形物含量和减轻果实失重.供试品种用外黄内黑复合纸袋套袋效果最为理想.     

电子束检疫辐照处理对我国红富士苹果品质的影响

为探索电子束辐照在我国红富士苹果检疫处理中的应用可行性,本文研究了不同剂量的电子束辐照对我国红富士苹果色泽、硬度、失水率、可溶性固形物、酸度、还原型维生素C、蛋白质、脂肪以及氨基酸等营养品质的影响。结果表明,1 155 Gy及以上剂量的电子束辐照可导致苹果硬度显著下降;随着储存时间的延长,330 Gy剂量以上辐照组苹果的还原型维生素C含量明显高于对照组;低于1 650 Gy电子束辐照18 d后对红富士苹果的色泽、失水率、可溶性固形物、酸度、蛋白质、脂肪、氨基酸等品质没有影响。因此,本研究认为低于990 Gy的电子束辐照处理红富士苹果是可行的。     

梨和苹果腐烂病菌不同培养表型菌株的致病性分析

The pathogenicity of three strains (F-SD-8, F-BJ-2c-2 and F-HN-2a-1) of Valsa mali var. pyri causing pear canker and one strain (F-SX-A6) of V. mali var. mali causing apple canker in China were comparatively tested by wound inoculation on in vitro twigs of pear, apple and some other woody plants, and in vivo twigs of pear. Significant pathogenicity differentiation was detected in V. mali var. pyri. Generally strains F-SD-8 and F-BJ-2c-2 were highly pathogenic on pear although their culturing characteristics differed greatly. The strain F-SX-A6 was more aggressive on apple than on pear, and the strain F-HN-2a-1 showed significant lower pathogenicity on ten pear cultivars and other seven species of woody plants. Our results confirmed that two variants of V. mali had host preference and were also aggressive to crabapple, apricot, and peach besides apple and pear. Meanwhile, strains F-SD-8 and F-BJ-2c-2 could induce the formation of pycnidia on in vivo twigs of pear, which was not observed on in vivo twigs inoculated with F-HN-2a-1 and F-SX-A6.     

硫磺对苹果连作土壤环境及平邑甜茶幼苗生长的影响

以盆栽的试验方式,研究了在老龄苹果园土壤中添加不同量(0、0.1、0.3、0.5 g·kg^-1)的硫磺对土壤微生物环境及再植平邑甜茶(Malus hupehensis Rehd.)幼苗的影响,为减轻苹果连作障碍提供理论依据。温室和露地盆栽结果显示:硫磺对改善连作土壤环境及促进平邑甜茶幼苗的生长具有良好的效果,但不同添加量促进效果不尽相同,其中以0.3 g·kg^-1的促进效果最为显著。与对照相比,0.3 g·kg^-1的硫磺处理浓度下平邑甜茶幼苗株高、地径、鲜质量、干质量分别增加了60.83%(26.03%,露地数据,下同)、26.78%(19.66%)、73.44%(62.15%)和93.32%(72.93%);根长、根表面积、根体积、根尖数、根系呼吸速率提高了1.47倍(1.82倍)、2.28倍(2.05倍)、2.05倍(2.74倍)、1.73倍(1.67倍)、2.12倍(1.98倍)。硫磺处理后叶片叶绿素含量、光合参数、土壤酶的活性均有不同程度提高。0.3 g·kg^-1硫磺处理具有最高的细菌与真菌...     

渭北旱塬沟壑区苹果节水灌溉制度分析

为了探讨渭北旱塬沟壑区盛果期苹果不同水文年的节水灌溉制度,选取洛川县为代表性区域,利用该县近56年的月气象资料,基于水量平衡原理,分析了陕西省两个不同成熟期的苹果品种(中熟嘎拉、晚熟富士)在不同节水灌溉模式下(管灌、滴灌)各水文年的充分与非充分灌溉制度。结果表明:1不同成熟期苹果各水文年均应补灌,补灌时间和灌水量主要集中在新梢旺长期和果实膨大期。2中熟品种充分灌溉在湿润年、平水年、干旱年、特旱年的灌水次数分别为2、3、3、4次,相应灌溉定额滴灌为60、85、120、165 mm,管灌为90、130、180、245 mm;非充分灌溉各水文年的灌水次数为1、2、3、4次,相应灌溉定额滴灌为45、70、110、150 mm,管灌为65、110、170、220mm。3晚熟品种充分灌溉在相应水文年的灌水次数分别为2、3、4、4次,相应灌溉定额滴灌为65、90、125、160 mm,管灌为95、140、195、240 mm;非充分灌溉各水文年的灌水次数为2、3、3、4次,相应滴灌灌溉定额为55、75、120、150mm,管灌灌溉定额为85、125、175、220 mm。     

不同灌溉方式对苹果园土壤水分动态、耗水量和产量的影响

为探讨不同灌溉方式对苹果园土壤含水率、生育期耗水量、产量及水分利用效率的影响,于2005年4～11月在密云水库上游地区新城子蔡家甸有机苹果基地布设了3种灌溉方式(管灌、滴灌和微喷灌)及对照(不灌溉)共4个处理、3个重复的对比试验.分别在苹果树开花期、枝条速长期、成熟期和封冻前灌水,依据不同灌溉方式的灌溉效率以及田间土壤实际含水率等因素确定灌水量.结果表明:(1)在3种灌溉方式处理中,微喷灌、滴灌处理的0～60 cm土层土壤含水率较高,入渗深度在80 cm以内,未产生水分深层渗漏.管灌向下入渗深度大于微喷灌和滴灌,达到120 cm.(2)在整个生育期内,微喷灌和滴灌处理比管灌节约灌水量分别是31.99%和49.83%;微喷灌和滴灌条件下果园耗水量较管灌分别减少11.52%和12.49%.(3)从产量来看,微喷灌、滴灌、管灌产量分别比对照高25.74%、9.99%和0.78%;微喷灌产量达到51 000 kg/hm2;其水分利用效率最高且达到9.288 kg/m3.总体看来,微喷灌是相对较好的节水增效灌溉方式,值得在果园灌溉中应用.
