四川白三叶根瘤菌遗传多样性及系统发育研究

为阐明四川部分地区野生白三叶根瘤菌的遗传多样性及系统发育地位,对分离自四川雅安、康定、泸定、西昌、成都和乐山6个地区白三叶根瘤的69株菌进行系统研究。采用16S rDNA限制性片段长度多态性分析(restriction fragment length polymorphism, RFLP)和16S rDNA基因、持家基因(recA、atpD、glnII)、结瘤基因(nodC)、固氮基因(nifH)系统发育分析的方法进行了研究。结果表明,16S rDNA PCR-RFLP中所有供试菌株产生了4种酶切图谱类型,表现出较为丰富的遗传多样性。持家基因与16S rDNA基因系统发育分析结果基本一致,9株代表菌株主要分布在α-变形菌纲(Alpha-Proteobacteria)的根瘤菌属(Rhizobium),并与豌豆根瘤菌三叶草生物型(R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii) ATCC 14480^T的亲缘关系较近。PCR可扩增出nodC和nifH基因片段,但从属于土壤杆菌属(Agrobacterium)的菌株LS1105中则扩增不出这两个基因。所有供试菌株被鉴定到了种的水平,证实了68株为白三叶根瘤菌,并通过不同采样地点菌株之间的比较,发现白三叶与根瘤菌的共生关系因地理分布不同而具有多样性,对于丰富白三叶根瘤菌资源及其开发利用具有重要意义。     

Genetic diversity of Botrytis in New Zealand vineyards and the significance of its seasonal and regional variation

Species‐ and population‐specific differences in fungicide resistance and aggressiveness within Botrytis makes basic data on genetic diversity important for understanding disease caused by this fungus. Genetic diversity of Botrytis was surveyed between 2008 and 2012 from grapes from five New Zealand wine‐growing regions. A total of 1226 isolates were gathered from symptomless flower buds at the start of the growing season and 1331 isolates from diseased fruit at harvest. Two species were found, B. cinerea and B. pseudocinerea. Botrytis pseudocinerea was common in both Auckland vineyards sampled, and infrequent elsewhere. However, even in Auckland, it was rarely isolated from diseased fruit. The presence of the Boty and Flipper transposons was assessed. Isolates with all four transposon states (Boty only, Flipper only, both Boty and Flipper, no transposons) were found for both species. Both vineyards in the Auckland region had high numbers of Flipper‐only isolates at flowering; both vineyards from the Waipara region had high numbers of Boty‐only isolates at flowering. Most isolates from diseased fruit at harvest contained both transposons. These observations suggest that B. pseudocinerea, and isolates with one or both of the transposons missing, may be less aggressive than B. cinerea, or than isolates with both transposons present. Two clades were resolved within B. pseudocinerea, only one of which has been reported from European vineyards. Phylogenetic diversity within B. cinerea in New Zealand was similar to that known from Europe, including isolates that appear to match Botrytis ‘Group S’. The taxonomic implications of this genetic diversity are discussed.

基于叶绿体trnL-F序列对广义披碱草属物种的系统进化研究

广义披碱草属包括了披碱草属、鹅观草属、猬草属、裂颖草属和仲彬草属。为深入研究这5个小麦族多年生属的系统地位、母本来源及St染色体组的来源和分化等问题,本研究根据叶绿体DNA trnL-F序列构建了系统树和网状结构图。结果表明,1)广义披碱草属物种的母本不完全来源于拟鹅观草属的St染色体组,其中黑药仲彬草和梭罗仲彬草的母本染色体组为P染色体组,Hystrix duthiei及长芒猬草的母本染色体组为Ns染色体组;2)系统树中反映了P、W和St染色体组之间具有较近的亲缘关系,它们与H和Ns染色体组的关系较远;3)仲彬草属中黑药仲彬草和梭罗仲彬草与冰草属的二倍体物种聚类在一起,表明黑药仲彬草和梭罗仲彬草与冰草属的关系较近;猬草属中猬草聚在St支中,而H. duthiei和长芒猬草包括在Ns支中,表明它们具有不同的染色体组组成;4)5个不同地理分布的具有St染色体组的拟鹅观草属二倍体物种没有形成一个单系组,表明St染色体组在二倍体物种中存在一定程度的分化;在异源多倍体物种中,其St染色体组的质体序列构成了不同的分支,表明St染色体组在多倍体物种中也具有分化;5)亚洲分布的拟鹅观草属二倍体物种可能参与了大部分欧亚物种的起源,北美分布物种的St染色体组可能来源于北美的拟鹅观草属物种;有些物种在多倍化起源过程中可能发生了重复杂交过程。     

Comparative epidemiology of zoosporic plant pathogens

Loss of zoospores has happened independently several times in different phylogenic lines and has, it is claimed, no major phylogenetic significance. But whether or not, how, and under which conditions plant pathogens retain the ability to produce motile asexual spores has fundamental importance from an ecological and epidemiological perspective. Recent molecular investigations of the early evolution of fungi and oomycetes are shedding light on the issue of zoospore loss in organisms able to cause plant diseases. Zoospore loss may have accompanied the development of new forms of dispersal adapted to the terrestrial environment, or the simplification processes which often follow the shift to parasitic or biotrophic life-forms. In this review we consider hybridisation events between Phytophthora species, long distance dispersal of oomycetes, sporangia and zoospore survival, direct and indirect infection processes and newly observed sporulating structures. These aspects are all relevant features for an understanding of the epidemiology of zoosporic plant pathogens. Disease management should not be based on the presumption that the zoosporic stage is a weak link in the life cycle. Oomycete plant pathogens show remarkable flexibility in their life cycles and ability to adapt to changing environmental circumstances.

Genomic Analysis of the Natural Population of Wheat dwarf virus inWheat fromChina and Hungary

During the last decade, the leafhopper transmitted Wheat dwarf virus (WDV) has become a serious problem both in northwestern China and Hungary. In order to study the molecular diversity and population structure of WDV in these two countries, 39 Chinese isolates and 16 Hungarian isolates were collected from different regions of China and Hungary, and their genomes were sequenced. All isolates belonged to the wheat strain of WDV and showed limited genetic diversity. The highest and lowest nucleotide sequence identities among isolates from China and Hungary were 99.9 and 90%, respectively. In all isolates, the lowest nucleotide sequence identity was 89.5% between MO10-1 and KP10-5, which were collected from Martonvásár and Kompolt, Hungary. Phylogenetic analyses showed the genome sequences of 55 WDV isolates belong to two big clades, but no clear correlation to geographical location. Population difference analyses indicated that the Chinese and Hungarian WDV populations have no significant difference. The regions in WDV genome with relatively low nucleotide diversities represented protein coding regions suggested that these regions evolved under negative selection, and might be one of the causes restricting the number of genetic variants.     

Note: Molecular identification of ‘Candidatus phytoplasma asteris’ inducing histological anomalies inSilene nicaeensis

Numerous plants ofSilene nicaeensis having symptoms resembling those associated with the presence of phytoplasmas were observed in an extensive coastal area in the south of Italy. Microscopic observation showed histological abnormalities in the organization of tissues in symptomatic plants, and molecular tests, including PCR/RFLP analyses and nucleic acid sequencing, revealed the presence of phytoplasmas belonging to the aster yellows group (‘Candidatus phytoplasma asteris’). This is the first report of phytoplasma infection inS. nicaeensis, a wild species that colonizes the Calabrian coast. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting June 12, 2008     

珠带鱼和带鱼未定种Trichiurus sp.2的分子系统进化关系

针对南海大型带鱼新种——珠带鱼(Trichiurus margarites Li,1992)与日本产带鱼未定种T.sp.2(sensu Nakabo,2002)之间的系统进化关系及分类地位不明确问题,本研究通过测定采自海南岛西岸珠带鱼的线粒体16S rRNA基因部分序列,结合已报道的T.sp.2及其近缘种的同源序列,对其16S rRNA基因序列变异进行分析。基于Kimura双参数模型计算,海南岛西岸珠带鱼与日本九州、海南岛东岸及印度洋T.sp.2间的净遗传距离(0.000～0.006)远低于属内其他种间的净遗传距离(0.037～0.061),表明二者的遗传分化程度处于种内水平。邻接法(NJ)和最大似然法(ML)构建的分子系统树显示,珠带鱼与T.sp.2以极高的置信度(NJ 100%,ML 96%)聚为一支单系,并与其他带鱼形成姐妹群。根据所得分子数据并结合形态学研究资料,可以确定日本产带鱼未定种即是珠带鱼,它广泛分布于印度西太平洋。综合3种带鱼属鱼类在西北太平洋的种间分化事件,对珠带鱼的起源及演化进行了初步推测。
