The mechanism of resistance to sterol 14α demethylation inhibitors in a mutant (Erg 40) of Ustilago maydis

Resistance to DMI fungicides is a problem in both agriculture and medicine. Several mechanisms of resistance exist, but, as yet, few have been characterised in field resistant strains of plant pathogens. One approach to evaluating the role of mutations in the sterol 14α demethylase (14DM) target site requires cloning this gene and confirming its identity by complementation in an appropriate mutant. The azole‐resistant mutant, Erg 40, of Ustilago maydis which is totally blocked at the 14α demethylation step in sterol biosynthesis seems to be suitable for such expression studies. Transformation of Erg 40 with a plasmid containing the yeast 14α demethylase (CYP51A1) gene removed the block in sterol biosynthesis and generated azole‐sensitive transformants. Detailed analysis of these transformants failed to detect the presence of the yeast gene and suggested, instead, that changes in sterol biosynthesis resulted simply from the transformation protocol and not from the incorporation of extracellular DNA. Subsequent sequence analysis has revealed a mutation in the 14α demethylase gene of Erg 40. The results suggest that azole resistance in Erg 40 is not simply controlled by this mutation but involves some additional regulatory function, and consequently Erg 40 is not suitable for complementation studies with CYP51A1 genes. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry     

Environmental and irrigation conditions can mask the effect of Magnaporthiopsis maydis on growth and productivity of maize

Maize production in temperate countries is threatened by late wilt, caused by Magnaporthiopsis maydis. Plant infection occurs early after sowing, but symptoms appear from flowering onwards. The disease is mainly controlled by genetic resistance, which is often partially expressed in the field. Development of disease symptoms is also highly dependent on environmental conditions. This study looked at whether production and growth of susceptible maize are affected by M. maydis under environmental conditions that are suboptimal for disease development. In addition, the effect of water availability on disease development under optimal conditions was determined. Pot experiments were conducted in an open-air enclosure in 2013, 2015 and 2016. Under unfavourable conditions for disease (low air temperature and relatively high air humidity), aboveground symptoms did not appear in the plants despite growth and production variables being clearly altered by the fungus. When air temperatures and humidity were optimal for disease development (air temperatures relatively high and humidity rather low), leaf symptoms on inoculated plants became apparent but with secondary importance compared to decreases in growth and production. The pathogen also affected the root:aboveground biomass ratio to a greater extent when the plants were under good water conditions than under deficit irrigation. Under optimal conditions and with good soil water content, the infected crop may end its cycle without symptoms, with the disease undetected, although reductions in yield and aboveground biomass can occur.

Pollen transfer from invasive Carpobrotus spp. to natives - A study of pollinator behaviour and reproduction success

The influence of invasive plant species on native community composition is well-documented, but less is known about underlying mechanisms. Especially scarce is knowledge about effects on biotic interactions such as relationships between native plants and their pollinators. In this study we investigate if pollen transfer from the invasive and highly pollen productive Carpobrotus spp. affects seed production and/or seed quality in three native species. We monitored pollinator movements and pollen loads on pollinators and native stigmas, and in a field pollination experiment we investigated the effect of invasive pollen on reproduction. Invasive pollen adhered to pollinators, pollinators switched from Carpobrotus spp. to natives, invasive pollen was transferred to native stigmas, and it affected seed production in one species. Although all possible steps for interference with seed production were found to be qualitatively taken, invasive pollen has probably little impact on the native community because the frequency of invasive pollen transfer to natives was low. However, pollination interactions may change with plant abundance and our study provides evidence that pollen transfer from Carpobrotus spp. to natives does occur and have the potential to affect seed production. We found the species identity of shared pollinators to be of importance, higher flower constancy and lower capacity of pollen adherence are likely to result in less invasive pollen transfer.

Introduction of T-DNA into Watermelon by Stigma Smeared Method and Its Molecular Marker Research

[Objective]The aim was to introduce T-DNA into watermelon for its molecular marker research.[Method]Based on the method of foreign DNA introduced to Arabidopsis thaliana via dipping flowers,the stigma smear was used to transfer T-DNA into watermelon and its molecular marker research was carried out.[Result]The ideal transformed species was ZXG01078 for the highest fruit setting rate and the most deviant seedlings.The best concentration of kanamycin for treating watermelon seeds was 500-700 mg/L with differences among the species.The best position was spire leaf or young leaf and the best concentration of kanamycin for treating the watermelon leaf was 4 000-8 000 mg/L with no significant difference among species.The steadily variation appearing of growing pointless and conjoined twin seedlings indicated that the normal growth had been interfered by foreign DNA in the progeny.[Conclusion]This study had provided basis for the further research on watermelon.
