The energy content of the mycoparasite Sporidesmium sclerotivorum mycelium was 18,389 J g?1 and 16,334 J g?1 for macroconidia on a dry weight basis. The energy content of Sclerotinia minor sclerotia, the host of the mycoparasite, was 16,485 J g?1. In liquid culture, the economic coefficient for the conversion of glucose to mycelium (mycelial dry wt ÷ glucose consumed × 100) was 51–60 whereas the mycelial energy coefficient, [mycelial energy (J) ÷ substrate energy (J) × 100] was 65–75. In soil, the conidial energy coefficient [conidial energy (J) ÷ substrate energy (J) × 100] for the conversion of host sclerotial energy to the macroconidia of the mycoparasite was 19.8, which was 2–9 times that for the conversion of glucose in liquid culture. The conidial energy coefficient when grown on a liquid medium on vermiculite was 23.0. S. sclerotivorum, as an obligate parasite of sclerotia in soil, was most efficient in the conversion of energy in a system where there was a high surface: energy ratio. In liquid culture S. sclerotivorum is more efficient than most other fungi. 相似文献

The effects of three Coniothyrium minitans isolates (Conio, IVT1 and Contans®), applied to soil as conidial suspensions or as maizemeal-perlite (MP) inocula (Conio), on apothecial production and infection of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum sclerotia were assessed in two soil pot bioassays and two novel box bioassays in the glasshouse at different times of the year. C. minitans isolate Conio applied as either MP or ground MP at full rate (106-107 cfu cm−3 soil) consistently decreased the carpogenic germination, recovery and viability of sclerotia and increased C. minitans infection of the sclerotia of S. sclerotiorum by in comparison with either MP or conidial suspension treatments applied at lower rates (103-104 cfu cm−3 soil). Additionally, when applied at the same rate, MP inoculum of C. minitans was consistently more effective at reducing carpogenic germination than a conidial suspension. The effect of MP and ground MP at full rate on carpogenic germination was expressed relatively early as those sclerotia recovered before apothecia appeared on the soil surface already had reduced numbers of apothecial initials. In general, there were few differences between the isolates of C. minitans applied as conidial suspensions. Box bioassays carried out at different times of the year indicated that temperature and soil moisture influenced both apothecial production and mycoparasitism. Inoculum concentration of C. minitans and time of application appear to be important factors in reducting apothecial production by S. sclerotiorum. 相似文献

The development and survival of the mycoparasite Coniothyrium minitans associated with sclerotia of the plant pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum was studied in pasteurised and non-sterile (untreated) soil. Using scanning electron microscopy, developing pycnidia were first seen within the sclerotial medulla at 7 days post-inoculation with the mycoparasite in pasteurised soil. However, by 14 days post-inoculation, pycnidia had developed fully in both pasteurised and non-pasteurised treatments, and conidial droplets were exuded onto the outer surface of the infected sclerotia. Thirty days post-inoculation, irrespective of soil treatment, the majority of the sclerotial medulla had been converted to pycnidia, with the sclerotial rind remaining largely intact. The pycnidia and dried intact droplets were still observed 6 months post-inoculation with C. minitans, although the conidia on the outer surface of the dried droplets had largely collapsed by this stage. Germinability studies at 10 months post-inoculation showed that approximately 13% of the conidia in dried droplets were still viable. This work shows the potential for infected sclerotia of S. sclerotiorum to provide a unique reservoir for the survival of C. minitans. 相似文献

Sclerotia are the primary over wintering inoculum of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary. The effects of tillage on the primary inoculum are not well understood. The purpose of this research was to study sclerotial viability over time and between burial depths in soil, to identify bacteria colonizing and degrading the sclerotia, and determine whether these bacteria may be utilized as biological control agents. Correlation analysis indicated that a significant negative relationship existed between sclerotial viability and elapsed temporal factors (R2=−0.68, P<0.0001), and depth of burial (R2=−0.58, P<0.0001). After twelve months, sclerotia on the soil surface had the highest viability (57.5%), followed by those at the 5 cm depth (12.5%), and only 2.5% of those placed at the 10 cm depth remained viable. A significant negative relationship between sclerotial viability and bacterial populations also existed (R2=−0.60, P<0.0001). Two hundred and sixty-eight bacteria were isolated from sclerotia, 29 of which showed strong in vitro antagonism to the mycelial growth of S. sclerotiorum. Biodiversity of the inhibitory bacterial isolates was minimal on sclerotia from the soil surface and within all depths sampled at three months (i.e. in January). All burial depths within the April and July sampling dates produced bacterial diversities that were distinct from each other. 相似文献

The ability of Trichoderma harzianum isolate 203 to attack the soil-borne plant pathogen Sclerotium rolfsii is apparently connected with the production by the isolates of chitinase and β-(1,3)-glucanase inside the attacked sclerotia during parasitism.SEM and TEM micrographs show that the mycoparasite degraded walls of sclerotial cells and the attacked cells lost their cytoplasmic contents. It is assumed that T. harzianum utilizes sclerotial cell contents thus enabling it to sporulate intensively on the sclerotial surface and inside the digested cells. 相似文献

Ascospores of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum produced from apothecia are the primary source of inoculum for causing diseases such as white mold of common bean, pod rot of pea, stem blight of canola and head rot of sunflower and safflower in the Canadian prairies. A field study was conducted for 4 years to determine efficacy of control of production of apothecia from carpogenically germinated sclerotia of S. sclerotiorum by soil amendment with Perlka® (calcium cyanamide) and S-H mixture (a formulated compound). Results of the 4-year experiments showed that amendment of soil with Perlka® at low (30 g/m2) or high (60 g/m2) rate was effective in reducing carpogenic germination of sclerotia and production of apothecia under the canopy of host crops (common bean and canola) and a non-host crop (wheat). In the experiments of 1988, for example, the numbers of apothecia produced in the treatments of Perlka®-low rate (30 g/m2), Perlka®-high rate (60 g/m2) and untreated control were 42, 46, and 182 apothecia/plot (m2), respectively, for bean; 89, 42, and 318 apothecia/plot (m2), respectively, for canola; and 146, 143, and 412 apothecia/plot (m2), respectively, for wheat. However, soil amendment of S-H mixture at low (30 g/m2) or high (60 g/m2) rate was ineffective in reducing carpogenic germination of sclerotia and production of apothecia for all the 4 years of testing in all three crops. The ineffectiveness of S-H mixture and the practicality of Perlka® for control of Sclerotinia diseases of crops grown under Canadian prairie conditions are discussed. 相似文献

Chlamydospores of Phytophthora cinnamomi were used as inoculum of known density (ID) in an investigation of the rate of jarrah seed germination and the level of infection of seedlings at the various ID's.Inoculum recovery by soil plating was about 2% of the added density. The germination of the jarrah seedlings was accelerated by the increase of the ID, especially at ID of 250 chlamydospores g?1 soil. The nominal LD50 value for jarrah seedlings per chlamydospore inoculum was calculated as 13.0 chlamydospores g?1 soil and the number of viable chlamydospores in the rhizosphere at the highest ID was estimated as 9.1. 相似文献

Nineteen monoconidial isolates (referred to as clones) of Trichoderma from different species aggregates, one isolate of Gliocladium virens, and one isolate of an Acrostalagmus sp. (that was naturally associated with sclerotia of Sclerotinia spp and Macrophomina phaseolina) were tested. They were incubated in controlled conditions, in sterile soil, with sclerotia of Corticium rolfsii, Sclerotinia minor, or S. sclerotiorum. At the end of appropriate periods of incubation (respectively 26, 20 and 8 days), the sclerotia were retrieved from soil and checked for invasion by the antagonist. Important differences between the parasitic ability of Trichoderma clones were noted. Clones from at least three different species (T. aureoviride, T. hamatum, T. harzianum) exhibited a high antagonistic activity. Activity of the G. virens isolate was at the same level as the best clones of Trichoderma, whereas no parasitic tendencies were found in the isolate of Acrostalagmus sp., thus confirming previous results.A rather good correlation was found between the capacity of the clones for attacking C. rolfsii sclerotia and their ability to parasitize both Sclerotinia.In conclusion, it is proposed that a screening with only one of the sclerotial species would give clones efficient against all three, and possibly against related sclerotial types. 相似文献

A streptomycin-resistant variant, of CB756 was used as seed inoculum to follow population changes in rhizosphere and soil of black gram (Vigna mungo cv. Regur) by direct plating onto an antibiotic agar medium. The number of viable rhizobia decreased from the initial level added to the soil at sowing. There was a further decrease during the early stages of root development, which was followed by a substantial increase in the rhizosphere population, and this increase continued for the duration of the experiment. Very little consistent change in soil numbers occurred until after plant senescence and nodule and root decay, which coincided with an increase in the soil numbers of CB756strr. Movement of the inoculum strain in the soil and rhizosphere from the seed inoculum was estimated by measuring lateral and vertical distribution of nodules on the root system. 相似文献

Exposure of sclerotia of Macrophomina phaseolina to 0 and 33% relative humidity (r.h.) for 12 weeks and of Sclerotium cepivorum to 0, 33 and 55% r.h. for 20 weeks did not reduce their germinability on agar. Exposure to 78% r.h. caused high loss of germinability in M. phaseolina and complete loss in S. cepivorum. After 7-day exposures respective moisture contents of sclerotia of M. phaseolina and S. cepivorum were 1 and 2% at 0% r.h.; and 10 and 14% at 78% r.h. M. phaseolina sclerotia held at 0% and 33% r.h. in desiccators for several times up to 12 days did not decrease in subsequent survivability in moist soil, unlike sclerotia held at 78% r.h. for 4 days.More sclerotia of M. phaseolina were colonized by fungi and Streptomyces spp. on alkaline soil than on acid soil. On alkaline soil twice as many sclerotia were colonized after exposure to 0% r.h. as after exposure to 33, 55 and 78% r.h. Colonization of S. cepivorum sclerotia was as high on acid as on alkaline soil and 3 times as high on sclerotia treated at 0% r.h. as on those treated at higher r.h. Attempts to ascertain the effects of colonization on sclerotial viability were unsuccessful. Incubation of sclerotia of M. phaseolina in moist Rumsford sandy loam (50% m.h.c.) for 20 weeks reduced survivability by 43%. At room temperature, alternate drying and wetting of soil containing sclerotia did not appreciably affect survivability of either pathogen. Survivability of S. cepivorum sclerotia was highest when the sclerotia were incubated in air-dried soil (2–3% m.h.c.) for 20 weeks.Incidence of white rot on onion seedlings transplanted to S. cepivorum-infested soil was higher in soil that had been air-dried for 20 weeks than in soil that had been alternately wetted and dried. Sclerotia that were exposed to 0% r.h. for 7 days before soil incubation produced little white rot. 相似文献

Soil mesofauna are thought to play a role in the dispersal of Coniothyrium minitans Campbell but the mechanisms of transmission are unclear. The mite Acarus siro L. and the collembolan Folsomia candida Willem are known to be able to transmit the mycoparasite to uninfected sclerotia of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary in soil, and consequently the mechanisms of transmission of the mycoparasite by these animals have been investigated in detail. To facilitate this work, a novel method for surface sterilising mites was developed. In an initial investigation, A. siro was found to carry inoculum externally and in the gut. Indeed, almost all faecal pellets collected from either A. siro or F. candida, following feeding on C. minitans, contained germinable inoculum of the mycoparasite. Microscopic examination showed that faeces from these animals consisted mainly of conidia or fragments of conidium, but that only intact conidia gave rise to growth of C. minitans. Passage through the gut of either animal reduced percentage germination of conidia to 11 and 60% in mite and collembolan faeces, respectively, compared to 99% in controls not subjected to gut passage. In addition, germination in mite faeces was delayed by approximately 12 h compared to controls. However, subsequent germ tube extension from surviving conidia appeared unaffected by gut passage. Individual faecal pellets of A. siro were found to contain sufficient inoculum of the mycoparasite to initiate infection of sclerotia in moist sterile sand and non-sterile soil. The relevance of these results to the glasshouse and field situation is discussed. 相似文献

A study was made of several factors affecting the production of chlamydospores by Fusarium solani f. cucurbitae in pure culture. Lysis of macroconidia and chlamydospore formation is favoured by the absence of glucose in liquid culture media. Both low pH and addition of ammonium chloride to the culture medium reduces lysis of macroconidia and inhibits chlamydospore formation. Chlamydospores formed in media lacking glucose were produced from macroconidia in a manner resembling their formation in soil. They were examined by light and electron microscopy. When placed into natural soil, they acted as survival structures. 相似文献

The population and distribution of sclerotia of Rhizoctonia solani Kühn in two sugar beet field soils was determined at harvest by a sieving-flotation method. In rhizosphere soil (RS) and non-rhizosphere soil (NRS) from the most heavily infected roots of sugar beets, 1.43–2.5 and 0.83–1.0 sclerotia g?1 dry soil were detected, respectively. In the soil around healthy sugar beet, these values were 0.04–0.12 and 0.03–0.04 sclerotia g?1 dry soil. More sclerotia were always obtained from RS than from NRS. More than 80% of the sclerotia were in the upper 10 cm of soil and within 10 cm of diseased roots. Therefore, there is a non-uniform distribution of sclerotia of R. solani in soil.The sclerotial population in soil increased significantly with disease severity and a good correlation was obtained between the number of sclerotia and the disease severity on infected plants. Most of the sclerotia collected from the field soil ranged in size from 0.5 to 2.0 mm diameter.Viability of sclerotia increased as severity of crown rot increased and as the size of the sclerotia increased. Conversely, there was a progressive decrease in sclerotial germination with increasing depth in soil and increasing distance from the infected root. 相似文献

Mulching of Macrophomina phaseolina-inksted soil (moist or dry) with transparent polyethylene sheets during the hot days of May increased temperature of wet soil at 5 cm from 37°C (unmulched) to 52°C (mulched) and of dry soil from 52°C (unmulched) to 65°C (mulched). At 20 cm mulching increased temperature from 30°C to 41°C (wet) and from 38°C to 42°C (dry). In artificially-infested soil. the sclerotia of M. phaseolina were eradicated at 5 cm by a mulch treatment for 1 week and at 20 cm depth 50% sclerotia lost viability in wet soil but were not affected in dry soil. In a naturally infested soil (5–7 sclerotia g?1), which gave 20% infection on Vigna, the sclerotia were reduced to such an extent that after 1 week mulching no disease was observed on Vigna. 相似文献

Ten isolates of Trichoderma spp were examined for their ability to antagonize growth and to parasitize mycelium of Sclerotium rolfsii (Sr-1) on agar media, to inhibit germination of sclerotia of S. rolfsii on natural soil plates and to sporulate on the sclerotia, and to protect bean seedlings against the pathogen in the greenhouse. A high negative correlation (r = ?0.844) was observed between plant stand in the greenhouse and sclerotial germination on soil plates but not with antagonism on agar plates. Three isolates of T. harzianum (Th-7, Th-20, WT-6) and one of T. hamatum (TRI-4) were especially effective in reducing sclerotial germination and controlling disease in the greenhouse. Three isolates of Trichoderma spp (WT-6, TMP, and TRI-4), effective in reducing sclerotial germination of isolate Sr-1, also prevented sclerotial germination in four out of five additional S. rolfsii isolates studied. 相似文献

Coniothyrium minitans Campbell is a mycoparasite with proven biocontrol activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary in the field and glasshouse. It is known to spread from sites of application but the mechanisms of dispersal are unclear. As C. minitans has been recovered from collembolans collected during glasshouse trials, and numerous mites and insects are often associated with decaying S. sclerotiorum-infected plant material in the glasshouse, the mite Acarus siro L. and the collembolan Folsomia candida Willem were used to investigate the potential of soil mesofauna to disperse C. minitans. In an initial investigation, A. siro was found to transmit the mycoparasite from infected to uninfected sclerotia of S. sclerotiorum in moist sterile sand and non-sterile soil. Subsequently, a simple assay system to monitor transfer of C. minitans from colonised wheat grains to uninfected sclerotia of S. sclerotiorum was developed. Both A. siro and F. candida transmitted C. minitans at least 55 mm to sclerotia in soil at water potentials ranging from saturation to −3.6 MPa. Transmission by A. siro was greater in drier conditions (−0.25 to −3.6 MPa) as mites survived poorly in saturated soil. However, water potentials between saturation to −3.6 MPa had no effect on transmission by F. candida, although collembolans died after 18 d at water potentials of −5.4 MPa or drier. Generally, maximum dispersal occurred within 2 weeks. In soil lacking added arthropods, negligible spread of the mycoparasite was observed. These results suggest that soil mesofauna may be important in the dissemination of C. minitans. 相似文献

The proportion of viable sclerotia of Sclerotium cepivorum placed in field plots in Burnaby, British Columbia, decreased with time (P = 0.05). Sclerotia that had been air-dried for 48–72 hr had a lower percentage survival than those that had not been dried. Sclerotia placed on the soil surface decayed more rapidly than those buried at 15 cm (P = 0.05). Loss of viability was due to decay of sclerotia rather than to a reduction in the ability of the sclerotia to germinate which did not decline with time (P = 0.05). After 16 months in the field 23.6; 2.1; 11.7 and 8.9% of the sclerotia remained viable in the not-dried buried, not-dried surface, dried buried and dried surface treatments respectively. 相似文献

The bacterium Wautersia [Ralstonia] basilensis has been shown to enhance the mycorrhizal symbiosis between Suillus granulatus and Pinus thunbergii (Japanese black pine). However, no information is available about this bacterium under field conditions. The objectives of this study were to detect W. basilensis in bulk and mycorhizosphere soils in a Japanese pine plantation in the Tottori Sand Dunes, determine the density of W. basilensis in soil, and determine the optimal cell density of W. basilensis for mycorrhizal formation in pine seedlings. We designed and validated 16S rRNA gene-targeted specific primers for detection and quantification of W. basilensis. SYBR Green I real-time PCR assay was used. A standard curve relating cultured W. basilensis cell density (103-108 cells ml−1) to amplification of DNA showed a strong linear relationship (R = 0.9968). The specificity of the reaction was confirmed by analyzing DNA melting curves and sequencing of the amplicon. The average cell density of W. basilensis was >4.8 × 107 cells g−1 of soil in the mycorrhizosphere and 7.0 × 106 cells g−1 in the bulk soil. We evaluated the W. basilensis cell density required for mycorrhizal formation using an in vitro microcosm with various inoculum densities ranging from 102 to 107 cells g−1 soil (104-109 cells ml−1). Cell densities of W. basilensis of >106 cells g−1 of soil were required to stimulate mycorrhizal formation. In vivo and in vitro experiments showed that W. basilensis was sufficiently abundant to enhance mycorrhizal formation in the mycorrhizosphere of Japanese black pine sampled from the Tottori Sand Dunes. 相似文献

Aspects of the biology of C. minitans and its potential for control of S. sclerotiorum were investigated.Temperatures below 7°C resulted in comparatively slow rates of germination and infection of sclerotia by C. minitans. The optimum temperature for germination, growth, infection of sclerotia, and destructive parasitism by C. minitans was 20°C. The optimum relative humidity for germination, growth and infection by C. minitans was above 95%.Autumn inoculations with suspensions of conidia, pycnidia and mycelium of C. minitans in the field resulted in negligible numbers of sclerotia remaining viable after 1 month. With culture-grown sclerotia 2 months were required for a similar reduction of sclerotial viability. In the absence of C. minitans mulching had no significant effect on sclerotial viability. In the presence of C. minitans mulching did, however, influence the viability and infection by C. minitans of culture-grown sclerotia. Populations of field sclerotia also differed from culture-grown sclerotia in that they harboured an internal population of microorganisms, which included C. minitans, and had a lower level of viability at the commencement of the treatments.A winter application of C. minitans did not result in significant infection of sclerotia nor in a reduction in viability of sclerotia. This failure is believed to have resulted from low temperatures and dry conditions. 相似文献

Rhizobium strains of the cowpea group did not lose viability readily when added to soil, but Bdellovibrio acting on these rhizobia were found in 32 of 90 soils examined. Bdellovibrio did not initiate replication in liquid media at low host densities, but it did multiply once the Rhizohium numbers increased through growth to about 108 ml?1. From about 104 to 6 × 105 ml?1Rhizohium cells survived attack by the parasites in liquid media. In nutrient-free buffer, no significant increase in vibrio abundance was evident if the rhizobial frequency was low. whereas Rhizobium populations containing 6 × 108 cells ml?1 were lysed rapidly. Bdellovibrio did not multiply when introduced into sterile soil with small numbers of the host, but it replicated when the rhizobia were abundant because of the latter's use of soil organic matter for growth or because of the deliberate addition of 108Rhizohium g?1. Nevertheless, the host persisted in such vibrio-rich soil samples. The abundance of indigenous bdellovibrios increased appreciably in nonsterile soil if the rhizobia were introduced in large but not small numbers. It is suggested that a major reason for the lack of elimination of the host population in soil by its parasites is the need for a critical host cell frequency, large Rhizobium numbers being required for Btiellovibrio to initiate replication and low numbers of surviving hosts no longer being able to support the parasite. 相似文献
