玉米根系分泌物对烟草黑胫病菌的抑制活性及其抑菌物质分析

目的明确玉米、辣椒单作和间作种植后根围土壤细菌群落的变化与病害发生的关系,解析土壤微生物在玉米和辣椒多样性种植中控制病害的作用。方法比较玉米/辣椒间作和分别单作后根围土壤微生物对玉米小斑病和辣椒疫病发生的影响,并应用Illumina Miseq高通量测序技术比较不同处理根围细菌群落的差异。结果单作玉米的根围土壤微生物能显著抑制辣椒疫病的发生(P<0.05),辣椒单作、玉米/辣椒间作后玉米根围土壤微生物降低玉米小斑病的趋势明显。根围土壤细菌群落分析结果表明：单作玉米根围气单胞菌属、堆囊菌属和固氮螺菌属等的相对丰度显著高于间作玉米和单作辣椒根围(P<0.05);单作辣椒和间作玉米根围土壤中拟杆菌门相对丰度上调,并且其中的拟杆菌属、农研丝杆菌属、鞘氨醇杆菌属和Muribaculum的相对丰度也显著上调(P<0.05)。结论玉米/辣椒间作和间作后有利于帮助彼此降低病害的发生。单作或间作后导致土壤细菌群落的变化是其缓解病害发生的重要机制。

【目的】明确福建省鲜食玉米大斑病田间病情与玉米产量损失的关系,为福建省鲜食玉米大斑病的合理防控提供理论依据。【方法】在玉米大斑病自然发病条件下,利用不同施药次数人为造成田间不同病情梯度,建立病情指数与玉米产量损失率模型,制定适合福建省鲜食玉米大斑病的经济阈值。同样条件下,以病情指数与产量损失率模型推算不同抗性玉米品种科学用药时期和次数,制定鲜食玉米品种抗性分级标准。【结果】采用逐步回归分析建立了玉米大斑病全部叶片病情指数与种植天数的回归方程。玉米产量损失率与玉米大斑病全部叶和功能叶病情指数均呈显著正相关关系,建立了基于玉米全部叶和功能叶病情指数与产量损失率的模型。在用药次数依次为1,2,3和4次条件下,基于全部叶病情指数乳熟期（R3）玉米大斑病经济阈值分别是14.63,17.88,18.72和22.06,基于功能叶病情指数分别是7.74,10.43,12.24和16.80。基于建立的回归方程、经济阈值及玉米籽粒建成期（R2）功能叶病情指数（DI）,建议玉米品种抗性分级标准为：DI≤15为抗病（R）,15＜DI≤30为中抗（MR）,30＜DI≤45为中感（MS）,DI＞45为感病（S）。【结论】建立了福建省鲜食玉米大斑病田间病情消长动态理论模型和病情指数与产量损失率的模型,制定了玉米大斑病的经济阈值和不同玉米品种对大斑病的抗性分级标准。     

Predicting the severity of Dothistroma on Pinus radiata under current climate in New Zealand

Despite being a damaging foliar disease of Pinus species little research has characterised spatial variation in disease severity of Dothistroma needle blight at a macroscale. Using an extensive dataset describing Dothistroma needle blight severity (S_sev) on plantation grown Pinus radiata stands distributed widely across New Zealand the objectives of this research were to (i) develop a regression model describing S_sev, (ii) use this model to identify key drivers of S_sev, their functional form and relative importance, and (iii) develop spatial predictions of S_sev for New Zealand P. radiata under current climate. Using an independent validation dataset, the final model accounted for 72% of the variance in S_sev using four significant (P < 0.001) explanatory variables and an isotrophic exponential model to account for the spatial covariance in the data. S_sev was most sensitive to mean air temperature from November to April (T_Nov-Apr), followed by mean relative humidity from October to April (RH_Oct-Apr), mean total November rainfall (P_Nov), and then stand age (A). There was a quadratic correlation between A and S_sev with S_sev increasing to a maxima at 12 years before declining. S_sev exponentially increased to a threshold with increases in both P_Nov and RH_Oct-Apr. The relationship between S_sev and T_Nov-Apr was quadratic with S_sev increasing to a maximum at T_Nov-Apr of 15.5 °C before declining at higher values of T_Nov-Apr. Spatial predictions of S_sev varied widely throughout New Zealand. Values of S_sev were highest in moderately warm wet environments in the North Island, and on the west coast of the South Island. In contrast, relatively low values of S_sev were predicted in drier eastern and southern regions of New Zealand.

黄瓜花叶病毒(CMV)2个山西分离物CP序列测定及亚组分类分析

 在生物学检测的基础上,利用酶联免疫检测、非序列依赖性PCR(sequence-independent amp-lification, SIA)对感病番茄进行分子鉴定,表现卷叶和花叶症状的番茄均被黄瓜花叶病毒(Cucumber mosaic virus,CMV)侵染,分离物分别命名为SXFQ(GenBank登录号为JX993914)和FQ(GenBank登录号为JX993912)。为明确其分类地位,对二者外壳蛋白(coat protein, CP)进行克隆和测序分析。应用DNAMAN软件对本课题组前期检测的7个CMV山西分离物、SXFQ、FQ以及其他3个CMV典型分离物CP序列进行比较分析,发现核苷酸和氨基酸序列最大相似性分别为77.1%~100%和81.6%~100%。氨基酸序列系统进化分析表明,9个CMV山西分离物属于CMV亚组I B的2个分支,其中在指示植物上表现较强症状的SXFQ与其他5个分离物为一分支,在指示植物上表现较弱症状的FQ与其他2个分离物为另一分支。对9个山西分离物CP进行亚组分类分析,结果表明其理化性质、稳定性、疏水性与预测结果相近,2个分支的分离物分别出现相近的氨基酸变异和蛋白结构,存在一定规律性。     

黄瓜诱导抗蚜性与次生代谢相关酶活性的关系

以普通型有毛黄瓜及其无毛突变体,以及二者杂交后代F1为试材,研究了3种黄瓜材料在瓜蚜危害胁迫下,木质素含量、PAL和POD活性的变化规律。结果表明,受蚜害诱导后,无毛黄瓜和F1材料PAL和POD活性及木质素含量均有不同程度的上升。未受瓜蚜危害时,3种类型黄瓜酶活性无明显差异,瓜蚜危害后无毛黄瓜酶活性和木质素含量显著高于有毛黄瓜和F1材料,说明POD、PAL活性和木质素含量对黄瓜的抗蚜性有一定的影响。     

CmRT1, a Ty3-gypsy-like retrotransposon in Castanea mollissima,is associated with a short-catkin mutation

Summary

Retrotransposons are major components of the genomes of most eukaryotic organisms and have resulted in the introduction of desirable traits in many crops, including fruit trees. Here, we describe a Ty3-gypsy-like retrotransposon associated with a short-catkin mutant in Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima), resulting in catkins that are < 20% the length of normal staminate catkins. A partial sequence of the retrotransposon, named CmRT1, detected by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis, and its complete sequence were determined from the genome of Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) using improved Tail-PCR. CmRT1 was 10,067 bp in length and shared high homology in its predicted amino acid sequence and motifs with other Ty3/gypsy-like retrotransposons. The 5’ long terminal repeat (LTR) of CmRT1 contained a TATA box and several cis-elements that were predicted to be important for processes involving abscisic acid, gibberellic acid, and auxins and in stress-mediated responses. Further characterisation of the transposition event that led to the short-catkin phenotype was performed using two pairs of primers that aligned with the flanking region of the LTRs. The expected PCR bands were observed only in genomic DNA from plants that showed the mutation. Finally, cloning and real-time qPCR analysis of an NADP-dependent alkenal double-bond reductase (CmADBR) target gene that was adjacent to CmRT1, revealed that CmADBR expression was significantly down-regulated in the short-catkin mutant. Taken together, these results suggest that the CmRT1 retrotransposon is responsible for the short-catkin phenotype.
