We investigated incidences of Fusarium head blight (FHB) and concentrations of six mycotoxins (deoxynivalenol, nivalenol, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol, T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin and zearalenone) in wheat from 2010 to 2013. Field trials were conducted at the Experimental Station of Cultivar Testing in Chrz?stowo, Poland (53o11’N, 17o35’E). We examined the effects of four agronomic factors, including pre-crop type (corn, sugar beets and wheat), date of sowing (late autumn: November 8–December 9 or spring: March 29–April 19), fungicidal application (untreated or treated with two applications) and cultivar (Monsun, Cytra), on FHB index (FHBi) and mycotoxin levels in order to minimize the risk of wheat grain contamination by mycotoxins via integrated pest management methods. The dominant Fusarium species observed on wheat heads were F. culmorum, F. avenaceum (Gibberella avenacea) and F. graminearum (Gibberella zeae), at 21.1%, 17.2% and 7.1%, respectively. A monthly rainfall sum of 113.9 mm and a relatively low air temperature (monthly average 15.5 °C) resulted in the highest FHBi in untreated wheat (25.1%). Agronomic factors crucial for the FHB incidence were the pre-crop, fungicidal treatments and cultivar selection. In wheat planted after wheat or corn, the FHBi was higher compared with a pre-crop of sugar beet. A double application of fungicides at BBCH 30–32 with prothioconazole and spiroxamine and at a BBCH 65 with fluoxastrobin and prothioconazole effectively reduced the FHBi and mycotoxin concentrations, respectively, in grain. The cultivar ‘Cytra’ had a greater FHBi (10.4%) than ‘Monsun’ (4.6%), and grain infestations by Fusarium species were also greater in ‘Cytra’, at 16.5%, than in ‘Monsun’, at 11.2%. Untreated cv. Cytra grown after corn in spring produced grains with the highest amounts of the mycotoxins, deoxynivalenol, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol, zearalenone and HT-2 (605, 103, 17.5 and 5.53 μg/kg, respectively). Total mycotoxin levels in wheat were correlated with five determinants: duration of the period between the end of flowering and the beginning of kernel abscission, FHBi, F. culmorum isolation, G. zeae isolation and Fusarium ratio (FR) as a % of total mould isolations. Although, the mean concentration of mycotoxins in grain did not exceed the maximum permissible values for unprocessed wheat our study suggests necessity to monitor and mitigate FHB risk for susceptible cultivars, when wheat spring sowing follows corn or wheat.  相似文献

Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused principally by Gibberella zeae (Fusarium graminearum), is a devastating disease of small grains such as wheat and barley worldwide. Grain infected with G. zeae may be contaminated with trichothecene mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON) and nivalenol (NIV). Strains of G. zeae that produce DON may also produce acetylated derivatives of DON: 3‐acetyl‐DON (3‐ADON) and 15‐acetyl‐DON (15‐ADON). Gradients (clines) of 3‐ADON genotypes in Canada have raised questions about the distribution of G. zeae trichothecene genotypes in wheat fields in the eastern USA. Tri3 and Tri12 genotypes were evaluated in 998 isolates of G. zeae collected from 39 winter wheat fields in New York (NY), Pennsylvania (PA), Maryland (MD), Virginia (VA), Kentucky (KY) and North Carolina (NC). Ninety‐two percent (919/998) of the isolates were 15‐ADON, 7% (69/998) were 3‐ADON, and 1% (10/998) was NIV. A phylogenetic analysis based on portions of three genes (PHO, RED and URA) from 23 isolates revealed two species of Fusarium (F. graminearum sensu stricto and one isolate of F. cerealis (synonym F. crookwellense)). An increasing trend of 3‐ADON genotypes was observed from NC (south) to NY (north). Punctuated episodes of atmospheric transport may favour a higher frequency of 3‐ADON genotypes in the northeastern USA, near Canada, compared with the mid‐Atlantic states. Discoveries of the NIV genotype in NY and NC indicate the need for more intensive sampling in the surrounding regions.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Fusarium head blight caused by Gibberella zeae is an important disease of wheat and barley because it reduces grain yield and quality and results in the contamination of grain with mycotoxins. Recent studies have shown that carbendazim resistance in field strains of G. zeae is not caused by mutation of the β‐tubulin gene (β1tub), which is the case with other filamentous fungi, but that fungicide resistance is greatly increased by deletion of β1tub. The aim of the present study was to clarify the function of β1tub and its role in carbendazim resistance in G. zeae by artificial gene operation. RESULTS: Deletion of β1tub reduced vegetative growth and pathogenicity but increased asexual reproduction in G. zeae. All the mutants were more resistant to carbendazim than parent strains. A three‐dimensional model of β1tub was constructed, and the possible carbendazim binding site was analysed. CONCLUSION: β1tub is not an essential gene in G. zeae, but it affects the sensitivity of the fungus to carbendazim. Copyright © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry  相似文献

Gibberella zeae is a pathogen of wheat and other small-grain cereals, causing yield losses and reducing grain quality by producing the trichothecene deoxynivalenol (DON) which is harmful to animals and humans. One hundred and fifty three progeny from a cross between two European DON-producing isolates of G. zeaewere analyzed for aggressiveness and DON production in three environments (location–year combinations) in Germany. Aggressiveness, measured as head blight rating and relative plot yield, and DON production showed continuous distribution for each environment and across environments. There was significant (P=0.01) genotypic variation for all three traits. Transgressive segregants occurred for all three traits. Both repeatability estimates within an environment and heritability estimates on an entry-mean basis for head blight rating and DON production were medium to high (0.5–0.7). Progeny–environment interaction accounted for about 29% of the total variance for the two aggressiveness traits and 19% for DON production. The large genetic variation derived from a cross between two rather similar European parents indicates a potential for increasing fungal aggressiveness in theG. zeae population.  相似文献

Pathogen development and host responses in wheat spikes of resistant and susceptible cultivars infected by Fusarium culmorum causing Fusarium head blight (FHB), were investigated by means of electron microscopy as well as immunogold labelling techniques. The studies revealed similarities in the infection process and the initial spreading of the pathogen in wheat spikes between resistant and susceptible cultivars. However, the pathogen’s development was obviously more slow in the resistant cultivars as in comparison to a susceptible one. The structural defence reactions such as the formation of thick layered appositions and large papillae were essentially more pronounced in the infected host tissues of the resistant cultivars, than in the susceptible one. β -1,3-glucan was detected in the appositions and papillae. Furthermore, immunogold labelling of lignin demonstrated that there were no differences in the lignin contents of the wheat spikes between susceptible and resistant cultivars regarding the uninoculated healthy tissue, but densities of lignin in host cell walls of the infected wheat spikes differed distinctly between resistant and susceptible cultivars. The lignin content in the cell walls of the infected tissues of the susceptible wheat cultivar increased slightly, while the lignin accumulated intensely in the host cell walls of the infected wheat spikes of the resistant cultivars. These findings indicate that lignin accumulation in the infected wheat spikes may play an important role in resistance to the spreading of the pathogen in the host tissues. Immunogold labelling of the Fusarium toxin DON in the infected lemma showed the same labelling patterns in the host tissues of resistant and susceptible cultivars. However, there were distinct differences in the toxin concentration between the tissues of the susceptible and resistant cultivars. At the early stage of infection, the labelling densities for DON in resistant cultivars were significantly lower than those in the susceptible one. The present study indicates that the FHB resistant cultivars are able to develop active defence reactions during infection and spreading of the pathogen in the host tissues. The lower accumulation of the toxin DON in the tissues of the infected spikes of resistant cultivars which results from the host’s defence mechanisms may allow more intensive defence responses to the pathogen by the host.  相似文献

In north-west Germany Fusarium head blight of wheat (FHB) is frequently caused by Fusarium culmorum and F. graminearum. This damage has, however, mainly been caused by infections during flowering; the incidence of FHB has increased steadily for many years in crop rotations without maize. The authors postulate that F. culmorum can cause systemic infections in wheat. In 2003 they used real-time PCR to analyse more than 1?100 tissue samples from wheat fields in order to determine whether F. culmorum was present in the internodes and spikes of the wheat plants. More than 30% of all analysed samples contained F. culmorum-DNA, and many wheat stems were completely or nearly completely systemically colonized by F. culmorum. These findings are consistent with those of other researchers who have detected a systemic growth of F. culmorum during experiments under controlled conditions. It cannot be automatically assumed that the fungus spreads from the wheat head during flowering; the plant could have become infected through chlamydospores or mycelium on residual plant debris in the soil. Therefore this pathogen must be regarded as a crop rotation disease. F. culmorum is able to severely infect wheat through the roots and stem bases, especially when the soil is dry and warm. Thus, spraying fungicides during flowering is ineffective.  相似文献

Cytological studies were carried out to elucidate the importance of cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDE) during infection of wheat spikes by Fusarium graminearum. Scanning electron micrographs revealed that at 6–24 hours after inoculation (hai) of single spikelets with macroconidia of F. graminearum, the fungus germinated by forming several germ tubes and developed a dense hyphal network in the cavity of the spikelet. At 24–36hai, the fungus formed infection hyphae which invaded the ovary and inner surface of the lemma and palea. Transmission electron microscopical studies revealed that the fungus extended inter- and intracellularly in the ovary, lemma and rachis and caused considerable damage and alterations to the host cell walls. In different tissues of healthy and F. graminearum-infected wheat spikes the cell wall components cellulose, xylan and pectin were localized by means of enzyme-gold and immuno-gold labelling techniques. Localization of cellulose, xylan and pectin showed that host cell walls which were in direct contact with the pathogen surface had reduced gold labelling compared to considerable higher labelling densities of walls distant from the pathogen–host interface or in non-colonized tissues. The reduced gold labelling densities in the infected host cell walls indicate that these polysaccharide degrading enzymes might be important pathogenicity factors of F. graminearum during infection of wheat spikes. The results revealed that, infection and colonization of wheat spikes by F. graminearum and reactions of infected host tissue were similar to those reported for F. culmorum.  相似文献

Epidemiology of Fusarium Diseases and their Mycotoxins in Maize Ears   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Fusarium species cause two distinct diseases on ears of maize, Fusarium ear rot (or pink ear rot) and Gibberella ear rot (or red ear rot), both of which can result in mycotoxin contamination of maize grain. The primary causal agent for Fusarium ear rot is Fusarium verticillioides, but F. subglutinans and F. proliferatum are also important. Gibberella ear rot is caused primarily by F. graminearum, but F. culmorum can also be important, especially in Europe. Aspects of the epidemiology of both diseases have been studied for decades, but only recently have efforts been made to synthesize this information into comprehensive models of disease development. Much of the work on F. graminearum has focused on Fusarium head blight of small-grain crops, but some of the results obtained are also relevant to maize. The primary mycotoxins produced by these fungi, fumonisins and deoxynivalenol, have differing roles in the disease-cycle, and these roles are not completely understood, especially in the case of fumonisins. Progress is being made toward accurate models for risk assessment of both diseases, but key challenges remain in terms of integrating models of pre- and post-infection events, quantifying the roles of insects in these diseases, and characterizing interactions among competing fungi and the environment.  相似文献

The incidence of seed infection by fungal species pertinent to the fusarium head blight complex was monitored from 1999 to 2002 in two soft and three durum wheat cultivars grown across the northern, central and southern production zones of Italy, in order to characterize the species composition at the seed level. The main species recovered were Fusarium graminearum, F. poae and Microdochium nivale. There was a marked influence of production zone on seed infection incidence for both durum and soft wheat cultivars, with incidence of infection generally decreasing from the northern to the southern zone. Incidence of seed infection by different species of Fusarium was twice to four times higher in durum compared with the soft wheat cultivars in the study. There were no significant differences in terms of seed infection incidence between the two soft wheat cultivars, but the durum cultivars differed in their levels of seed infection for some of the pathogens. The results demonstrated that the durum cultivars were more at risk of seed infection by pathogens associated with fusarium head blight, and that wheat grown in northern Italy is at higher risk of seed infection by these species.  相似文献

Fusarium and Microdochium species are causal agents of seedling blight of small-grain cereal crops where they may contribute to a significant reduction in crop establishment and final yield. Two experiments were carried out to investigate the potential pathogenicity and aggressiveness of F. langsethiae, a recently identified fungus linked with the contamination of cereals with high levels of the trichothecene mycotoxins, HT-2 and T-2. An artificial seed inoculation method involving conidial suspensions was used and the experiments conducted in a growth cabinet set at either 5 or 15°C with a 12 h photoperiod. Known seedling blight pathogens of the genus Fusarium and Microdochium were used for comparison. At 15oC, F. culmorum, M. nivale and M. majus caused seedling blight of oats and wheat with F. culmorum, on average being the most aggressive than the latter two. At 5oC, only F. culmorum and M. nivale caused seedling blight of oats and wheat. Under the experimental conditions employed, F. langsethiae and F. poae failed to produce seedling blight disease indicating that these two species are not pathogenic to oat and wheat cultivars, Gerald and Claire respectively, at the seedling stage of development. They are therefore unlikely to affect crop establishment and other yield components such as tiller number, grain yield per head as well as grain weight if there is no subsequent foot-rot and/or head blight where infected seeds are sown.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: The efficacy of benzimidazole fungicides is often limited by resistance, and this is the case with the use of carbendazim for controlling Fusarium head blight caused by Gibberella zeae (Schwein.) Petch (anamorph Fusarium graminearum). Recent studies have shown that carbendazim resistance in field strains of G. zeae is associated with mutations in the β 2‐tubulin gene. The aims of the present study were to validate this mechanism and research the binding sites of carbendazim on β 2‐tubulin. RESULTS: This work used site‐directed mutagenesis followed by gene replacement to change the β 2‐tubulin gene of a carbendazim‐sensitive field strain of G. zeae at residues 50, 167, 198 or 200. The transformants were confirmed and tested for their sensitivity to carbendazim. All the mutants were resistant to carbendazim, but the level of resistance differed depending on the mutation. Biological characteristics did not differ between the field strain and the site‐directed mutants. A three‐dimensional model of β 2‐tubulin was constructed, and the possible carbendazim binding site was analysed. CONCLUSION: Mutations at codons 50, 167, 198 and 200 of G. zeae β 2tub could cause resistance to carbendazim, and these codons may form a binding pocket.

An isolate of the fungus Fusarium culmorum constitutively expressing green fluorescent protein was used to investigate the infection process and host response of primary seedling roots and stem base leaf sheaths of soft wheat cv. Genio. Disease progress was assessed macroscopically by visual symptoms, microscopically by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and via gene expression analysis of fungal and wheat genes by real‐time quantitative RT‐PCR. In the roots, CLSM investigations revealed an initial intercellular and subsequent intracellular colonization by fungal hyphae. The fungus invaded the rhizodermal layer and cortex but was not seen to colonize the stele. The fungus consistently expressed TRI5 (24, 48 and 96 h post‐inoculation), indicating that trichothecenes were being synthesized throughout this phase of infection and colonization. The expression of the six host defence‐associated genes (Wheatwin 1‐2, PR1, Chitinase, PAL, WIR1 and LOX) increased early in infection and decreased during later stages. In the stem base, CLSM observations revealed the fungus sequentially penetrating though the first, second and third basal leaf sheaths. Expression of TRI5 was initiated early in the infection of each leaf sheath. The expression of the host defence‐associated genes varied over time and across leaf sheaths, and all were also expressed in leaf sheaths which had not yet been in contact with the fungus. Expression of LOX and WIR1 were particularly enhanced in the third leaf sheath.  相似文献

Severe rot of leaves, peduncles and flowers caused by Gibberella zeae (anamorph: Fusarium graminearum) was found on potted plants of hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis), a liliaceous ornamental, in greenhouses in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, in January 2001. This disease was named “Fusarium rot of hyacinth” as a new disease because only the anamorph, F. graminearum, was identified on the diseased host plant. The authors contributed equally to this work. The fungal isolate and its nucleotide sequence data obtained in this study were deposited in the Genebank, National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences and the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases under the accession numbers MAFF239499 and AB366161, respectively.  相似文献

Fusarium pseudograminearum, F. culmorum and F. graminearum are the most important fusarium crown rot (FCR) causal agents. They have the common ability to biosynthesize deoxynivalenol (DON). To elucidate the behaviour of each of the three species, a comparative study was carried out to investigate symptom progression, fungal systemic growth and translocation of DON following stem base inoculation of soft wheat. FCR symptoms were mainly localized in the inoculated area, which extended up to the second node for all inoculated species. Only the most aggressive strains caused symptoms up to the third node. Real‐time quantitative PCR showed that fungal colonization reached the third node for all the tested species, but a low percentage of plants showed colonization above the third node following inoculation with the most aggressive strains. Fungal growth was detected in symptomless tissues but none of the three species was able to colonize as far as the head tissues. However, even if the pathogens were not detected in the heads, DON was detected in head tissues of the plants inoculated with the most aggressive strains. These results demonstrate that F. pseudograminearum, F. culmorum and F. graminearum, under the same experimental conditions, follow a similar pattern of symptom progression, fungal colonization and DON translocation after stem base infection. Differences in the extent of symptoms, fungal colonization and mycotoxin distribution were mainly attributable to strain aggressiveness. These findings provide comparative information on the events following infection of the stem base of wheat by three of the most important FCR casual agents.  相似文献

Gibberella zeae (anamorph Fusarium graminearum) is the main pathogen causing Fusarium head blight of wheat in Argentina. The objective of this study was to determine the vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) and mycotoxin production (deoxynivalenol, nivalenol and 3-acetyl deoxynivalenol) by F. graminearum populations isolated from wheat in Argentina. VCGs were determined among 70 strains of F. graminearum isolated from three localities in Argentina, using nitrate non-utilizing (nit) mutants. Out of 367 nit mutants generated, 41% utilized both nitrite and hypoxanthine (nit1), 45% utilized hypoxanthine but not nitrite (nit3), 9% utilized nitrite but not hypoxanthine (NitM) and 5% utilized all the nitrogen sources (crn). The complementations were done by pairing the mutants on nitrate medium. Fifty-five different VCGs were identified and the overall VCG diversity (number of VCGs/number of isolates) averaged over the three locations was 0.78. Forty-eight strains were incompatible with all others, thus each of these strains constituted a unique VCG. Twenty-two strains were compatible with other isolates and were grouped in seven multimembers VCGs. Considering each population separately, the VCG diversity was 0.84, 0.81 and 1.0 for San Antonio de Areco, Alberti and Marcos Juarez, respectively. Toxin analysis revealed that of the 70 strains of F. graminearum tested, only 90% produced deoxynivalenol, 10% were able to produce deoxynivalenol and very low amounts of 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol. No isolate produced nivalenol. The results indicate a high degree of VCG diversity in the F. graminearum populations from wheat in Argentina. This diversity should be considered when screening wheat germplasm for Fusarium head blight resistance.  相似文献

Potato tubers cut into halves were inoculated with conidial spores or mycelium ofGibberella zeae in order to study the permeability of the cells adjacent to and at some distance from the tissue invaded by the fungus. Permeability was determined by measuring the exosmosis rate of electrolytes. Within three days of infection the permeability of cells at a mean disease of 3 1/2 mm from the margin of the invaded tissue had doubled. At a mean distance of 6 mm there was no increase of permeability, except, perhaps, of a very slight increase 6 to 8 days after infection. A possible cause of the increase of permeability and its relation to the increased respiration are discussed.  相似文献

Fusarium head blight in wheat spikes is associated with production of mycotoxins by the fungi. Although flowering is recognized as the most favourable host stage for infection, a better understanding of infection timing on disease development and toxin accumulation is needed. This study monitored the development of eight characterized isolates of F. graminearum, F. culmorum and F. poae in a greenhouse experiment. The fungi were inoculated on winter wheat spikes before or at anther extrusion, or at 8, 18 and 28 days later. Disease levels were estimated by the AUDPC and thousand‐kernel weight (TKW). The fungal biomass (estimated by qPCR) and toxin concentration (deoxynivalenol and nivalenol, estimated by UPLC‐UV‐MS/MS) were measured in each inoculated spike, providing a robust estimation of these variables and allowing correlations based on single‐individual measurements to be established. The toxin content correlated well with fungal biomass in kernels, independently of inoculation date. The AUDPC was correlated with fungal DNA, but not for early and late infection dates. The highest disease and toxin levels were for inoculations around anthesis, but early or late infections led to detectable levels of fungus and toxin for the most aggressive isolates. Fungal development appeared higher in kernels than in the chaff for inoculations at anthesis, but the opposite was found for later inoculations. These results show that anthesis is the most susceptible stage for FHB, but also clearly shows that early and late infections can produce significant disease development and toxin accumulation with symptoms difficult to estimate visually.  相似文献

Data from a national survey were analysed to investigate whether there was interdependence among the Fusarium species, which cause the stem rot complex of wheat. About 25 wheat stems were sampled from each of 260 sites over the main wheat growing areas in the UK. Occurrence of each Fusarium species on individual stems was determined. Fusarium culmorum, F. avenaceum and Microdochium nivale were the three dominant species, detected in 248, 185 and 239 out of the 260 sites. There were no interactions among species in the distribution of the three species over the 260 sites. Several statistical tests were used to determine whether there was interdependence among the three species on the same stem within each site. Of the three species, there was only limited evidence of competition between F. culmorum and F. avenaceum.  相似文献
