The complete nucleotide sequences of RNAs 1 and 2 of Rice stripe necrosis virus (RSNV) were determined and compared to the corresponding genomes of all sequenced, rod-shaped plant viruses. The genome organisation
of RSNV RNA1 and RNA2 is nearly identical to that of Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) and Beet soil-borne mosaic virus (BSBMV), definitive species of the genus Benyvirus. As demonstrated for BNYVV and BSBMV, the RNA1 of RSNV also encodes a single ORF with putative replicase-associated motifs,
which distinguishes benyviruses from all other viruses possessing rod-shaped particles. As described for BNYVV, RNSV RNA-2
also contains six ORFs: the capsid protein gene, the read-through protein gene, a triple gene block gene that codes for three
different proteins, and a 17 kDa cysteine-rich protein. RNAs 3 and 4 (or 5 in the case of BNYVV), identified in natural infections
of BNYVV and BSBMV, were not detected in any of the 44 RSNV cDNA clones obtained in this investigation. Nevertheless, phylogenetic
and amino comparative acid sequence analyses demonstrated that RSNV is more closely related to BNYVV and BSBMV than to any
other rod-shaped plant virus characterised to date. 相似文献

We determined the complete nucleotide sequence of RNA-1 and the 5-terminal region of RNA-2 from Broad bean wilt virus 1 (BBWV-1) isolate PV132. This report is the first analysis of the genome organization of BBWV-1. We also determined the complete nucleotide sequence of RNA-1 from Broad bean wilt virus 2 (BBWV-2) isolate IP and analyzed the genetic relations between BBWV-1 and BBWV-2. Similar to the BBWV-2 isolates, both RNAs of PV132 encoded a single large polyprotein, which was predicted to contain some functional proteins in a manner similar to those of comovirus. With respect to the deduced amino acid sequences of the mature proteins, PV132 and IP had only 20%–40% homology to comovirus. On the other hand, IP was 73%–98% homologous to BBWV-2 isolates, but PV132 was 39%–67% homologous to the isolates. Although the extent of the homologies differed, the homologies were limited between BBWV-1 and BBWV-2 not only for the coat protein but also for the other proteins. These results clearly support the placement of BBWV-1 and BBWV-2 in the genus Fabavirus as distinct species, proposed on the basis of double immunodiffusion tests.The nucleotide sequence data reported are available in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases under the accession numbers AB084450 (RNA-1 of isolate PV132), AB084451 (RNA-2 of isolate PV132), and AB023484 (RNA-1 of isolate IP) 相似文献

The clustered hrp genes encoding the type III secretion system in the Japanese strains MAFF301237 and MAFF311018 of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae were sequenced and compared. The strains differ in their pathogenicity, location, and year of isolation. A 30-kbp sequence comprising 29 open reading frames (ORFs) was identical in its structural arrangement in both strains but differed from X. campestris pv. campestris, X. axonopodis pv. citri, and X. axonopodis pv. glycines in certain genes located between the hpaB-hrpF interspace region. The DNA sequence and the putative amino acid sequence in each ORF was also identical in both X. oryzae pv. oryzae strains as were the PIP boxes and the relative sequences. These facts clearly showed that the structure of the hrp gene cluster in X. oryzae pv. oryzae is unique. 相似文献

During 2010, yellowing symptoms were frequently observed in cultivated squash fields in Egypt. A total of 717 symptomatic
squash leaf samples were collected from four regions where squash cultivation is of economic importance for the country: Kafrelsheikh,
El-Behira, El-Sharkia and El-Ismailia. Serological analysis showed that 95.6% of the symptomatic squash samples were infected
by Cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus (CABYV), and visual estimation of the incidence of yellowing symptoms suggested a very high incidence of CABYV in the fields.
Twelve CABYV isolates were characterized by sequencing two regions of the viral genome, open reading frame (ORF) 3 and ORFs
4/5. Overall, Egyptian isolates were very similar among them, and had higher similarity values with a French than with a Chinese
isolate. The average nucleotide diversity for ORF 3 was significantly higher than for the other two regions, indicating that
variability is not evenly distributed along the viral genome. The ratios between nucleotide diversity values in non-synonymous
(d
N
) and synonymous (d
S) positions (d
N
/d
S) for each ORF showed that the three ORFs are evolving under different pressures, although predominantly under purifying selection.
Phylogenetic analyses revealed that these Egyptian isolates, with only one exception, shared the same clade with a French
isolate. Moreover, these analyses suggested that Egyptian isolates belong to the Mediterranean group described previously. 相似文献

Strains of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria Dye 1978 (Xcv), the causal agent of bacterial spot, have been classified into two groups based on their ability to hydrolyze starch. Three monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), 7AH10, 5HB3, and 4AD2, were produced immunized against the living bacteria and were specific to and could distinguish Xcv strains able or unable to hydrolyze starch (Amy+ or Amy–). The MAb 7AH10, obtained against strain UPB141(Amy–) reacted in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with all the Amy– strains (n = 19) and 1 of 11 Amy+ strains. Against Xcv 2625, an Amy– unusual phenotype strain, MAb 5HB3, recognized 97% of our worldwide collection of Xcvs (n = 30). Also against that strain, the MAb 4AD2 reacted with none of the homologous Amy– phenotypes and with 90% (n = 11) of the heterologous Amy+ phenotypes. For all the MAbs, cross reactions with other pathovars or species were less than 4% (n = 67). By assaying a Japanese collection of strains against the three MAbs, the Amy+ strains were distinguished from the Amy– strains, and their relation with other world strains could be demonstrated. All the MAbs reacted with the lipopolysaccharide fraction of the bacterial cell wall during immunoblotting. 相似文献

Leptosphaeria maculans,a fungal pathogen of Brassica napus, secretes large amounts of a 28kDa protein (SP2) in liquid culture. This protein shows high sequence similarity to secreted serine proteases from other ascomycetes and is the major component of culture filtrate with protease activity, as analysed on casein zymogels. The sp2 gene is expressed during infection of B.napuscotyledons when L. maculans hyphae are growing between mesophyll cells, as well as at later stages when the fungus invades the vascular tissue. 相似文献

Two primers, specific for Phytophthora nicotianae (Pn6) and P. citrophthora (Pc2B), were modified to obtain Scorpion primers for real-time identification and detection of both pathogens in citrus nursery soils and roots. Multiplex PCR with dual-labelled fluorogenic probes allowed concurrent identification of both species ofPhytophthora among 150 fungal isolates, including 14 species of Phytophthora. Using P. nicotianaespecific primers a delayed and lower fluorescence increase was also obtained from P. cactorumDNA. However, in separate real-time amplifications, the aspecific increase of fluorescence from P. cactorum was avoided by increasing the annealing temperature. In multiplex PCR, with a series of 10-fold DNA dilutions, the detection limit was 10 pg l-1 for P. nicotianaeand 100 pg l–1 for P. citrophthora, whereas in separate reaction DNA up to 1 pg l-1 was detected for both pathogens.Simple and rapid procedures for direct DNA extraction from soil and roots were utilised to yield DNA whose purity and quality was suitable for PCR assays. By combining these protocols with a double amplification (nested Scorpion-PCR) using primers Ph2-ITS4 amplifying DNA from the main Phytophthora species (first round) and PnB5-Pn6 Scorpion and Pc2B Scorpion-Pc7 (second round), it was possible to achieve real-time detection of P. nicotianaeand P. citrophthora from roots and soil. The degree of sensitivity was similar to that of traditional detection methods based on the use of selective media. The analyses of artificially and naturally infested soil showed a high and significant correlation between the concentration of pathogen propagules and the real-time PCR cycle threshold. 相似文献

A mulberry epiphytic Enterobacter cloacae MUL1 harbors plasmid pMUL1 encoding five drug-resistance genes. This plasmid was examined upon its conjugal transfer into epiphytic Erwinia herbicola on the phylloplane of mulberry and 12 species of weeds. The plasmid was transferred into Er. herbicola at a frequency of 10–5–10–3/recipient in mulberry and Lolium multiflorum LAM. 1–8 days after wound inoculation with 106–108/ml suspensions. In Chenopodium album L. and C. album L. var. centrorubrum, however, it was transferred only after wound inoculation with a 108/ml suspension, but not with 107/ml or 106/ml suspensions, owing to the weak epiphytic fitness of Ent. cloacae on these weeds. Transconjugants were also obtained for seven other species of weeds in the case of inoculation with a 108/ml suspension. In contrast, when bacterial suspensions were sprayed on mulberry leaves with or without fresh wounds, transconjugants were obtained only in wounded leaves, which were considered suitable for bacterial conjugation. These findings suggest that epiphytic bacteria, including Ent. cloacae and Er. herbicola, may be carriers of drug-resistance genes distributed among plant pathogenic bacteria in nature. 相似文献

Bacterial black spot disease of mango is caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. mangiferaeindicae (Xcm), which consists of two genotypically and phenotypically distinct groups of strains. Monoclonal antibodies (MABs) were produced – 15 against CFBP 1717, a group I strain, and 9 against CFBP 2919 (yellow-pigmented), a group II strain – and were analyzed for their characteristics. On the avidin-biotin peroxidase complex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the dilution limit of the MABs was between 100 and 200000 and was 10 times higher when measured on the corresponding ascitic fluid. All kinds of isotypes were represented among the MABs. All the Japanese Xcm strains, designated group I by hrp-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, reacted equally with MAB 1A7H12G3, which is the most specific for all but one worldwide group I strains, and to only one strain among group II. Also, to various extents, serological heterogeneity inside the two groups was consistently differentiated based on isozyme and RFLP analyses. MAB 1E2E1 against CFBP2919, because of its narrow specificity, and MAB 1A7H12G3 against CFBP1717, because of its broad specificity, will be useful for epidemiological studies or general control of the pathogen. 相似文献

Epidemiological studies were conducted in five cocoa growing districts in the Eastern Region of Ghana solely infected by Phytophthora palmivora and five districts in the Ashanti and Brong Ahafo Regions prevalently infected by Phytophthora megakarya to determine the natural incidence, the vertical distribution on trees and the probable sources of stem canker infections, and to isolate and identify the causal pathogens. The incidence of canker in the solely P. palmivora infected area was higher (between 0% and 16.0%) than in the area mainly infected with P. megakarya (0.5–8.0%). Differences were found in the natural height distribution of cankers in the two areas, whilst the areas solely infected with P. palmivora showed a near normal curve, those prevalently infected with P. megakarya were positively skewed. Most of the cankers caused by P. megakarya were found at the base or near the base of the tree trunks (1–40cm above ground level), while those of P. palmivora were concentrated between 41 and 100cm from the ground level. The majority (71.8%) of cankers in the solely P. palmivora infected area were cushion-borne, followed by 24.3% from unknown sources and only 3.9% from the soil. In contrast, a significantly large proportion (32.6%) of the cankers in the prevalently P. megakarya infected area were soil-borne, although cushion-borne cankers formed the majority (48.4%) due to the presence of P. palmivora infection whilst those of unknown sources constituted 19.0%. Phytophthora megakarya was frequently isolated from all the three sources of canker infections, indicating P. megakarya readily causes stem canker on cocoa. These results emphasise the importance of different reservoirs as sources of primary inoculum for diseases caused by the two Phytophthora species particularly pod rot infection on cocoa. 相似文献

Random insertional mutagenesis using a marker DNA fragment is an effective method for identifying fungal genes relevant to morphogenesis, metabolism, and so on. Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (AtMT) has long been used as a tool for the genetic modification of a wide range of plant species. Recent study has indicated that A. tumefaciens could transfer T-DNA not only to plant cells but also to fungal cells. In this study, AtMT was applied to Colletotrichum lagenarium for random insertional mutagenesis. We constructed a binary vector pBIG2RHPH2 carrying a hygromycin-resistant gene cassette between the right and left borders of T-DNA. Optimal co-cultivation of C. lagenarium wild-type 104-T with pBIG2RHPH2-introduced A. tumefaciens C58C1 led to the production of 150–300 hygromycin-resistant transformants per 106 conidia. Southern blot analysis revealed that T-DNA was mainly integrated at a single site in the genome and at different sites in transformants. The T-DNA inserts showed small truncations of either end, but the hygromycin-resistant gene cassette inside the T-DNA was generally intact. The mode of T-DNA insertion described above resulted in highly efficient gene recovery from the transformants by thermal asymmetrical interlaced-polymerase chain reaction. The fungal genomic DNA segments flanking T-DNA were identified from five of eight mutants that had defective melanin biosynthesis. The sequence from one of the segments was identical to that of the melanin biosynthesis gene PKS1 of C. lagenarium, which we previously characterized. These results strongly support our notion that AtMT is a possible tool for tagging genes relevant to pathogenicity in the plant pathogenic fungus C. lagenarium. 相似文献

Pinellia ternata is a traditional Chinese herb which has been used in China for over 1,000 years. A soft-rot disease characterized by water-soaked
lesions and soft-rot symptoms with a stinking odour was commonly observed in cultivated fields of this plant, and Pectobacterium-like bacteria were consistently isolated from the infected tissues. Two typical strains (SXR1 and ZJR1), isolated from Shanxi
and Zhejiang, respectively, were identified. Pathogenicity tests revealed that these strains were virulent to P. ternata and induced the same symptoms as observed in the field. Characterization involving fatty acid profile, metabolic and physiological
properties, 16S rDNA sequence and PCR-RFLP identified both isolates as P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (Pcc). The 16S rDNA of both isolates shared 97–99% sequence similarity with that of Pcc strains. The phylogenetic trees showed
that both isolates were clustered in the group of Pcc and P. carotovorum subsp. odorifera and both PCR-RFLP profiles were consistent with the pattern E produced by the minority of Pcc strains. Thus, isolates SXR1
and ZJR1 were characterized as Pcc in spite of some differences. This is the first report that Pcc has been proven as a causal
agent of soft-rot disease on P. ternata. 相似文献

The aims of this study were to select bacterial isolates from the non-rhizophere of maize soil and to examine their antagonistic
activity against Aspergillus section Flavi strains. The first selection was made through ecophysiological responses of bacterial isolates to water activity (aw) and temperature stress. Subsequently, an Index of Dominance test (ID), ecological similarity and inhibition of the lag phase prior to growth, growth rate and aflatoxin B1 accumulation were used as criteria. From the first assay nine bacterial strains were selected. They grew well at 25 and 30 °C,
with growth optima between 0.982 and 0.955 aW using 48 h of incubation. There was ecological similarity between the bacterial strains Bacillus subtilis (RCB 3, RCB 6), Pseudomonas solanacearum RCB 5, Amphibacillus xylanus RCB 27 and aflatoxigenic Aspergillus section Flavi strains at 0.982 at 25 °C. The predominant interaction between all selected bacteria and fungi in dual culture was mutual
intermingling at 0.982. Mutual inhibition on contact and mutual inhibition at a distance was observed at 0.955 aw, between only four bacteria and some Aspergillus strains. Bacillus subtilis RCB 55 showed antifungal activity against Aspergillus section Flavi strains. Amphibacillus xylanus RCB 27, B.␣subtilis RCB 90 and Sporolactobacillus inulinus RCB 196 increased the lag phase prior to growth and decreased the growth rate of Aspergillus section Flavi strains. Bacillus subtilis strains (RCB 6, RCB 55, RCB 90) and P. solanacearum RCB 110 inhibited aflatoxin accumulation. Bacillus subtilis RCB 90 completely inhibited aflatoxin B1 accumulation at 0.982 aW. These results show that the bacterial strains selected have potential for controlling Aspergillus section Flavi over a wide range of relevant environmental conditions in the stored maize ecosystem. 相似文献

A conventional PCR and a SYBR Green real-time PCR assays for the detection and quantification of Phytophthora cryptogea, an economically important pathogen, have been developed and tested. A conventional primer set (Cryp1 and Cryp2) was designed
from the Ypt1 gene of P. cryptogea. A 369 bp product was amplified on DNA from 17 isolates of P. cryptogea. No product was amplified on DNA from 34 other Phytophthora spp., water moulds, true fungi and bacteria. In addition, Cryp1/Cryp2 primers were successfully adapted to real-time PCR.
The conventional PCR and real-time PCR assays were compared. The PCR was able to detect the pathogen on naturally infected
gerbera plants and on symptomatic artificially infected plants collected 21 days after pathogen inoculation. The detection
limit was 5 × 103
P. cryptogea zoospores and 16 fg of DNA. Real-time PCR showed a detection limit 100 times lower (50 zoospores, 160 ag of DNA) and the
possibility of detecting the pathogen in symptomless artificially infected plants and in the re-circulating nutrient solution
of closed soilless cultivation systems. 相似文献

Experiments were conducted to determine the effectiveness and profitability of the Mi-resistance gene in tomato in suppressing populations of Meloidogyne javanica in a plastic-house with a natural infestation of the nematode. Experiments were also conducted to test for virulence and durability of the resistance. Monika (Mi-gene resistant) and Durinta (susceptible) tomato cultivars were cropped for three consecutive seasons in non-fumigated or in soil fumigated with methyl bromide at 75 g m–2 and at a cost of 2.44 euros m–2. Nematode densities were determined at the beginning and end of each crop. Yield was assessed in eight plants per plot weekly for 6 weeks. The Pf/Pi values were 0.28 and 21.6 after three crops of resistant or susceptible cultivars, respectively. Growth of resistant as opposed to susceptible tomato cultivars in non-fumigated soil increased profits by 30,000 euros ha–1. The resistant Monika in non-fumigated soil yielded similarly (P > 0.05) to the susceptible Durinta in methyl bromide fumigated soil but the resistant tomato provided a benefit of 8800 euros ha–1 over the susceptible one because of the cost of fumigation. Selection for virulence did not occur, although the nematode population subjected to the resistant cultivar for three consecutive seasons produced four times more eggs than the population on the susceptible one. Such a difference was also shown when the resistant cultivar was subjected to high continuous inoculum pressure for 14 weeks. The Mi-resistance gene can be an effective and economic alternative to methyl bromide in plastic-houses infested with root-knot nematodes, but should be used in an integrated management context to preserve its durability and prevent the selection of virulent populations due to variability in isolate reproduction and environmental conditions. 相似文献

Yeast-like fungi were isolated from lesions on azuki bean (cv. Shin-Kyotodainagon) seeds that had been sucked by bean bugs
in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. On the basis of morphological and physiological characteristics and sequence data of the internal
transcribed spacer (ITS) regions including the 5.8S rDNA, these yeasts were identified as Eremothecium coryli and E. ashbyi. Pathogenicity of those yeasts was confirmed by a reinoculation test. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the occurrence
of yeast spot in azuki bean in Japan.
The nucleotide sequence data reported are available in the GeneBank/EMBL/DDBJ database as accessions AB478291–AB478309 for
E. coryli AZC1–19 and AB478310–AB478317 for E. ashbyi AZA1–8. 相似文献
