田间水稻单个病斑中稻瘟病菌的遗传多样性

根据93个单病斑中分离的227个单孢菌株样品的分析，研究了来自同一定殖系统(同一病斑)中稻瘟病菌不同单孢菌株(同源菌株)的遗传变异。在致病性分析的样品中，仅有5个病斑分离的10个单孢菌株在所有鉴别品种上表现同源菌株有完全相同的致病反应，并且有完全相同的DNA指纹图谱带型；另有13个病斑上分离的32个单孢菌株的同源菌株不仅属于不同的生理小种，而且在1～3个单基因品种上也有不同的致病反应。用rep—PCR指纹图谱和致病型分析67个病斑的157个单孢样品中的同源菌株具有完全相同的DNA指纹图谱；13个病斑中分离的27个单孢样品中同源菌株具有显著差异的指纹图谱；8个病斑分离的27个单孢菌株样品中同一来源样品中部分样品有相同的指纹图谱带型，部分样品却有不同的指纹图谱。同源菌株之间有完全相同致病性其指纹图谱亦相同或有很小的差异；通常，致病性差异很大的同源菌株其指纹图谱差异也很大。作者认为来自同一定殖系统中的不同单孢菌株存在的遗传变异与病菌的异核现象或自然状态下不同遗传背景菌株同时侵染造成同一病斑有关。     

吉林省玉米灰斑病重要流行环节的初步研究——I孢子萌发、病斑潜育扩展和寄主抗侵染

对玉米灰斑病的重要流行环节——孢子萌发、病斑潜育扩展和寄主抗侵染进行了研究。结果表明：分生孢子在清水中就能够萌发，但未见附着胞形成；花粉和叶面物质对孢子萌发有促进作用。孢子抗干燥能力较强，萌发孢子须经3-4d干燥才完全丧失存活能力。对灰斑病菌孢子萌发抑制作用较强的杀菌剂有百菌清、甲基托布津、大生、多菌灵等。病害潜育期较长，潜育期随玉米生育期推进而增长，在不同品种上潜育期为11-18d。病斑长度（Y）和病斑13龄（x）的关系大体为对数曲线，回归方程为y=0．2635＋5．163ln（x＋1）。随着玉米生育期的推进，抗侵染力逐渐增强。施用氮、磷、钾肥可在一定程度上增强玉米的抗侵染力。     

Effect of glyphosate on tryptamine production and Sekiguchi lesion formation in rice infected with Magnaporthe grisea

When exposed to light, the Sekiguchi lesion (sl) rice mutant has an enhanced resistance to Magnaporthe grisea infection responsible for Sekiguchi lesion formation and tryptamine accumulation. Glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine] pretreatment suppressed Sekiguchi lesion formation and tryptamine accumulation in the sl mutant after M. grisea infection even under light. This inhibition by glyphosate was blocked by the supply of exogenous tryptophan, but not by exogenous phenylalanine. In glyphosate-pretreated leaves, 5-enol-pyruvyl-shikimate-3-phosphate synthase gene expression and tryptophan biosynthesis were significantly suppressed. During tryptophan starvation, catalase activity was maintained at a high level even under light, leading to the suppression of H₂O₂ generation and DNA fragmentation. These results show a strong relationship between the tryptophan and tryptamine pathways in the induction of light-enhanced resistance to M. grisea infection in the sl mutant.     

Distribution patterns of saprolegniosis cutaneous lesions in wild and farmed brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) obtained using a geographic information system (GIS)

A retrospective study was conducted using 250 clinical records of brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) with saprolegniosis by Saprolegnia parasitica, which had been collected from 8 rivers and 1 fish farm in the province of León (Spain). A geographic information system (GIS) was used to obtain skin lesion distribution patterns in males and females. Lesions in wild brown trout affected 15.31 ± 13.33% of the body surface, with a mean of 12.76 ± 6.56 lesions per fish. In addition, 51.23% of wild trout presented lesions with necrosis of the skin or fins. The pattern obtained when not distinguishing between sexes indicated that saprolegniosis lesions are mainly located above the lateral line and most frequently affect the dorsal cephalic region, the adipose fin, the peduncle and the caudal fin. However, differences were observed between males and females. Farmed trout presented a lower percentage of affected body surface (2.06 ± 4.36) and a lower number of lesions with and without necrosis because they received preventive treatment for saprolegniosis.     

Well-being in Pregnant Sows: Confinement versus Group Housing with Electronic Sow Feeding

Abstract

Indicators of stress, behaviour in the pen, and lesions of the integument were used as indicators of sow well-being in a comparison of group housing with electronic sow feeding [GH] and confinement in gestation crates [C] in experiment 1, which included 2 × 4 groups of 20–25 sows. Effects of earlier experience with a gestation system on the indicators of stress was investigated in experiment 2, which included 2 × 3 groups of 20–25 sows. Reaction in a novelty test and reactivity in plasma Cortisol to the procedure of blood sampling were used as indicators of stress. Behaviour in the pen as well as lesions of the integument revealed that both gestation systems were suboptimal in some manner. However, following acclimatization for 1–2 weeks, young GH sows experienced less stress than young C sows as measured by reduced fear in the novelty test. In experiment 2 this interpretation was further supported by lower reactivity in plasma Cortisol. It was concluded that sow well-being was higher for the majority of the gestation period in young group-housed animals. Thus, in spite of the inadequate feeding method, well-being of sows may be improved in group housing systems with electronic sow feeding if the system is well functioning with low levels of aggression and vulva bites. One of the major determinants of vulva biting is suggested to be the mechanism of gate control.     

水稻类病斑突变体lmm7的鉴定与基因定位

【目的】对水稻类病斑突变体的研究有助于解析其与植物生长和防御反应的关系。【方法】本研究在粳稻品系FI135胚培养过程中获得了1个类病斑突变体lmm7(lesion mimic mutant 7)。通过对其进行系统的表型鉴定、农艺性状考查、超微结构观察、生理学特性分析，阐明LMM7基因对植物生长的调控。通过病原菌抗性鉴定，明确lmm7对植物防御反应的影响。利用9311B与突变体lmm7杂交所得F₂群体对该突变体进行了遗传分析和基因精细定位。【结果】该突变体苗期表型正常，分蘖初期，植株基部叶片从叶尖开始不断出现褐色斑点，并向整株扩散，且斑点数目随植株生长不断增加。与野生型相比，突变体的株高、穗长、有效穗数、每穗粒数、结实率及剑叶长宽都显著降低，但籽粒性状和抽穗期没有显著性差异。遮光处理表明，突变体lmm7的表型受到光照诱导，抽穗期突变体lmm7叶肉细胞严重失绿，光合色素含量显著降低。组织化学分析表明，突变体病斑处的H₂O₂含量显著升高。透射电镜观察结果表明，突变体lmm7叶肉细胞的叶绿体数目减少，叶绿体类囊体片层结构严重受损，细胞器肿胀解体，并出现大量嗜锇小体，同时病斑内部和周围区域积累了大量的ROS。抗性鉴定结果显示突变体lmm7稻瘟病抗性水平显著高于野生型。遗传分析表明lmm7的突变表型受单个隐性基因控制。利用图位克隆的方法，目的基因被定位于水稻第7染色体短臂两InDel标记7B35和7B43之间，区间范围约260 kb。测序结果表明该区间内候选基因LOC_Os07g0203700第2891位碱基T发生了单碱基缺失，导致后续移码突变及翻译提前终止。【结论】lmm7与spl5互为等位基因，其突变抑制了植株的生长，同时增强了对稻瘟病的抗性。
