Cytoskeletal dynamics play a crucial role in pathogen recognition and cell defence during the initial interactions between an invader and plant host. The aim of the work reported here was to characterize how Heterobasidion annosum s.s., Heterobasidion parviporum, and Heterobasidion abietinum affect the microtubules and microfilaments of Pinus sylvestris root cells 12‐, 24‐, 48‐, and 96‐h post‐inoculation. Inoculation of P. sylvestris with H. parviporum or H. abietinum, which have a lower specificity for P. sylvestris than H. annosum s.s, resulted in greater reorganization of host microtubules during the early stages of interaction than inoculation with the more specific H. annosum s.s. In some infected cells, spots of actin aggregates were observed. Disruption of cytoskeletal components by the application of specific cytoskeletal inhibitors facilitated the entry of the H. parviporum and H. abietinum into roots. These results suggest that the P. sylvestris cytoskeleton plays a role in the host response in the initial stages of the host–pathogen interaction.  相似文献

In the Western Italian Alps (WIA), the three European species of the forest pathogen Heterobasidion spp. can coexist in the same area. Heterobasidion parviporum Niemelä & Korhonen and Heterobasidion abietinum Niemelä & Korhonen are normally found in areas with a significant presence of their respective primary hosts, spruce (Picea spp.) and fir (Abies spp.). The host/niche occupied by Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref. in the region still remains unclear. Although Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), a major host for this fungal species in other parts of Europe, is abundant in the region, little or no evidence of disease caused by H. annosum is visible in this tree species. Two different, but not mutually exclusive, hypotheses can explain the presence of H. annosum: (1) Scots pines are infected but largely asymptomatic and (2) H. annosum has adapted to different hosts. An analysis of Heterobasidion species was performed in two natural, mixed‐conifer forests using traditional isolation techniques and novel direct molecular diagnosis from wood. In a subalpine stand of mixed spruce (Picea abies), larch (Larix spp.), and Swiss stone pine (Pinus cembra), 18 naturally infected spruces and larches only yielded H. parviporum. A Swiss stone pine in the same stand was extensively colonized by both H. parviporum and H. annosum. In a second subalpine stand, an analysis of 18 spruce stumps and nine Swiss stone pine stumps yielded both H. parviporum and H. annosum isolates. Pine stumps had been mostly colonized by H. parviporum prior to tree felling, suggesting that this species may be secondarily infected by the locally predominant Heterobasidion species (i.e. H. parviporum). Results of our analysis also indicated that primary colonization of spruce stumps (e.g. through basidiospores) was caused by both H. parviporum and H. annosum, while secondary infection of such stumps was mostly because of H. parviporum.  相似文献

Two species of the tree pathogenic fungus Heterobasidion spp. exist in Sweden, Heterobasidion annosum s.s. and Heterobasidion parviporum. Both species are known to infect Norway spruce (Picea abies). The aim of the study was to examine the interspecific competition between H. annosum s.s. and H. parviporum as well as their colonization rate in fresh Norway spruce wood. Equal amount of conidiospores from each species was sprayed together on 30 fresh, previously uninfected, Norway spruce billets. After incubation in a greenhouse, the proportion of Heterobasidion spp. colonies belonging to each species was recorded. Of the 196 colonies isolated from the upper part of billets, 195 were H. parviporum. All isolated colonies further down in the billets were H. parviporum. To study the colonization rate, H. annosum s.s. and H. parviporum were sprayed alone on 30 spruce billets each, incubated and growth recorded both vertically and horizontally. H. parviporum grew further down in the billets (p = 0.008) and covered a larger area (p < 0.001) than H. annosum s.s. While H. annosum s.s. and H. parviporum both infected fresh Norway spruce wood H. parviporum outgrew and outcompeted H. annosum s.s during the early colonization stage.  相似文献

To investigate the taxonomy of Heterobasidion in Eurasia, 49 specimens belonging to H. annosum sensu lato from Asia were identified with the aid of mating tests. Most of the specimens originated from north‐eastern and south‐western China and from the Altai region in southern Siberia, but a few isolates from Kirghizia, Japan and India were also tested. In addition to mating tests, the material from China was investigated with DNA fingerprinting. Heterobasidion annosum sensu stricto was identified only from the Altai region. Homokaryotic isolates from other specimens, except the Indian ones, were sexually compatible with H. parviporum, but they also showed a high degree of compatibility with H. abietinum and with the North American S group. The isolates from SW China (eastern Himalayas) mated with about equal frequency with the European strains of H. parviporum and H. abietinum. However, the DNA fingerprinting showed that these isolates were more closely related to H. parviporum, and hence they were tentatively included in this species. The North American S group was more distant from these Eurasian taxa. Four old isolates from India mated only weakly with the members of the H. annosum s.lat. According to the species concept presented, the distribution of H. parviporum extends from western Europe through southern Siberia to northern China, Japan and the eastern Himalayas. H. annosum s.str. is so far identified only from the Altai region outside Europe, and H. abietinum only from Europe.  相似文献

Heterobasidion annosum sensu stricto is the most important damaging agent in Scots pine stands planted on the former agricultural lands in Poland. The routine action in pine stands which have lost stability because of H. annosum root rot is to change stand management, including species conversion. In many cases, the Fagus sylvatica is used for this purpose. This study was the first assessment of widespread infection by H. annosum in young F. sylvatica plantations. Disease symptoms included atrophy and yellowing of leaves, wilting and the presence of pathogen sporocarps around the root collars of young trees. Heterobasidion annosum s. s. was observed on both 4‐ and 17‐year‐old beech. Based on annual increments, the disease could be present for 3–4 years before tree death. A high incidence of H. annosum in pine stumps of previous stands (80–100%) and dry periods in recent years may be the main reasons for such common infection of F. sylvatica. This work also showed that mice and frost were not the main killing factors F. sylvatica in plantations.  相似文献

The relationship between the proportion of the stump surface covered by the biological stump treatment agent PG Suspension, containing Phlebiopsis gigantea and its efficacy against the pathogen Heterobasidion annosum sensu stricto was studied during a first thinning of Corsican pine (Pinus nigra ssp. laricio) in Thetford Forest, UK. PG Suspension was manually applied to 100%, 75%, 50% or 0% of the surface of 150 stumps. Spores of H. annosum were inoculated onto 75 of the stumps, and the remaining stumps exposed to natural airborne spore deposition. The relationship between coverage and efficacy was found to be quantitative. Covering all the stump surface with PG Suspension completely excluded the pathogen, whereas stumps not treated with PG Suspension (the 0% treatment) became infected with H. annosum. Partial (75%) PG Suspension coverage resulted in the pathogen colonizing 40% of stumps following artificial inoculation with H. annosum, and just 7% of stumps exposed to ambient H. annosum spore infection. Decreasing levels of coverage allowed increasing areas of the stump surface to be colonized by H. annosum. Some small gaps in coverage were closed by lateral growth of P. gigantea, but it is recommended that operators aim for full stump coverage to give complete protection against H. annosum.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to test the pathogenicity of two Spanish isolates of Heterobasidion annosum sensu stricto in 2‐year‐old Pinus pinaster seedlings. Two types of inocula (woodchips and sawdust) were used to infect the seedlings by two different routes (stem inoculation and soil infestation). The mortality rates of the stem‐inoculated seedlings differed significantly from controls, but those of the seedlings infected via soil infestation did not differ. For both types of inoculation, the lesions were longer, and wilting symptoms were more severe in the seedlings inoculated with H. annosum than in control seedlings. For stem inoculation, biomass allocation did not differ significantly between the infected and control seedlings. However, the percentage of fine roots was lower in seedlings infected via soil infestation than in the control seedlings. To our knowledge, this is the first pathogenicity test with H. annosum isolates and P. pinaster.  相似文献

We report for the first time a tree‐ring isotopic analysis on host trees infected with Heterobasidion parviporum. By measuring carbon and oxygen stable isotope ratios in tree rings over ca. 150 years of forest growth, we obtained evidence that stomatal conductance increases in Picea abies affected by H. parviporum. We put forward this approach as a novel way of providing an insight into plant–pathogen relationships during tree life.  相似文献

Abstract

Heterobasidion parviporum (Fr.) Niemelä & Korhonen and Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref. sensu lato are some of the major forest pathogens in the northern hemisphere causing root and butt rot to conifers. The relative susceptibility to H. parviporum was investigated in a full-sib family of Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] by inoculating a set of 252 cloned progenies from a controlled cross. Four ramets of each progeny were used and the 2-year-old rooted cuttings were incubated for 6 weeks under greenhouse conditions. The condition of the cuttings was assessed visually and all the plants were in excellent vigour with no mortality recorded during the experiment. To score the relative susceptibility, lesion length in the inner bark and fungal growth in the sapwood were measured. Among the progenies, significant differences were found for fungal growth in the sapwood (p<0.0005). There was no significant difference for lesion length; however, there was a significant positive correlation between fungal growth and lesion length. The broad-sense heritability was 0.11 for fungal growth. This shows that the genetic component for susceptibility to H. parviporum can be detected even within a full-sib family of Norway spruce and that there is a potential for mapping quantitative trait loci for this trait in Norway spruce.  相似文献

Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref. sensu lato is an important fungal parasite of coniferous trees throughout the temperate regions of the world. Approximately 15% of Heterobasidion isolates are infected by dsRNA viruses, which are considered as obligately intracellular and transmit vertically into both basidiospores and asexual conidia. Insects such as H. abietis and its larvae feeding on wood colonized by Heterobasidion fungi may carry Heterobasidion conidia and hyphae. In this study, we used H. abietis as a model species to reveal whether Heterobasidion viruses resist in their fungal host passing through the digestive tract of insects that may potentially serve as disseminators of fungal propagules. Pinus sylvestris branches were inoculated by three different strains of Heterobasidion parviporum, hosting taxonomically diverse virus species: Heterobasidion RNA virus 2, HetRV4 and HetRV6. Then, the inoculated branches were fed to H. abietis insects, and beetle excrements were investigated for Heterobasidion infections. All the inoculated fungal strains survived passage through the alimentary tract of the insects (survival rate 25–80%). The passage rates of the viruses inside their hosts varied considerably, ranging from 0 to 67%. Two different mycoviruses, HetRV2 and HetRV6, survived the intestinal passage of their fungal host, while the virus species HetRV4 was detected among none of the five H. parviporum isolates retrieved from insect faeces. The relative stability of fungi harbouring viruses suggests that if viruses are to be used for biological control against Heterobasidion species, it is likely that insect feeding does not considerably decrease the virus effect, but might instead enhance short‐range dispersal of the viral biocontrol agent.  相似文献

Culture medium composition affected antagonism by bacterial isolates from Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) stumps against Heterobasidion annosum. Fifty percent of bacterial isolates inhibited H. annosum growth on sporulation agar or yeast–dextrose–peptone agar; only 10% of isolates caused inhibition on both media. Proportions of isolates inhibiting H. annosum varied with stump age; fewer isolates from 4‐ or 6‐year‐old stumps exhibited antagonism than isolates from older or younger stumps. Fifteen isolates showing antagonism on sporulation agar were tested against H. annosum in spruce wood cubes. None of the bacterial isolates alone caused a significant weight reduction in inoculated cubes. Relative inoculation times of bacterial isolates and H. annosum had an effect on weight loss in interactions; simultaneous inoculation with isolates and H. annosum inhibited weight loss caused by H. annosum compared with bacteria‐free controls. Inoculation with bacterial isolates 10 days before H. annosum had no effect on the decay rate. In contrast, inoculation with H. annosum 10 days before bacteria increased weight loss of cubes by 200% relative to cultures lacking bacteria. The effect of a mixed bacterial inoculum on weight change in 0.2‐mm spruce wood slips co‐inoculated with H. annosum, Resinicium bicolor, Hypholoma fasciculare, Stereum sanguinolentum or Melanotus proteus differed between different fungi.  相似文献

We studied the effect of climate warming on Heterobasidion root rot in boreal forests by measuring respiration activity of pure cultures of Heterobasidion parviporum in Norway spruce (Picea abies) sawdust and by linking these data to temperature data obtained from three spruce forests located along a north‐south transect stretching from northern Germany to northern Finland. The pure cultures applied in this investigation were homokaryotic, but in a separate investigation, we found no significant difference between the activity of homo‐ and heterokaryotic isolates. We also found that the temperature response curves of growth and respiration rates of this fungus were similar and propose that respiration reflects the general activity of H. parviporum. The respiration data were scaled up to annual cumulative respiration activity using daily temperature measurements from soil and air in the spruce forest sites. The annual respiration activity of H. parviporum showed a linear relationship with the average annual air temperature. An increase in the annual air temperature by 5°C would raise the annual activity of H. parviporum in spruce roots in northern Finland, southern Finland and northern Germany by 91%, 53% and 40%, respectively. This increase remains below the predicted increase in forest growth in northern Finland but exceeds considerably the predictions for southern Finland. According to the previous literature, a number of other decay fungi show a similar activity response to temperature as H. parviporum, suggesting that this result can be generalized to decay fungi with similar ecological habits.  相似文献

The occurrence and symptoms of root and butt rot were examined in a 35 × 30 m plot of 68‐year‐old Todo fir plantation in Hokkaido, Japan. Forty‐seven percent of the cut stumps were decayed and 52% of the decayed stumps showed similar decay characteristics with yellowish orange to light brown colouration and expanded pockets in the heartwood. Morphological characteristics of the pure cultures isolated from the decay were similar to the cultures isolated from basidiocarps of Heterobasidion annosum sensu lato, found on fallen logs outside of the research site. Also DNA analysis based on the combined data set of three gene loci (glyceraldehyde 3‐phosphate dehydrogenase, heat shock protein 80–1 and elongation factor 1‐alpha genes) showed that the isolates from the decay are included in the same clade with the Japanese H. annosum s.l. isolates. They form a subclade to H. parviporum (the European S group of H. annosum s.l.). This is the first report of molecular determination of H. annosum s.l. isolated from root and butt rot in a plantation in Japan.  相似文献

Heterobasidion parviporum and Heterobasidion annosum are widely distributed root‐rot fungi that infect conifers throughout Europe. Infection of conifer stumps by spores of these pathogens can be controlled by treating fresh stumps with a competing non‐pathogenic fungus, Phlebiopsis gigantea. In this study, growth of three Latvian strains of P. gigantea and the biological control agent ‘Rotstop’ strain was evaluated in stem pieces of Norway spruce, Scots pine, lodgepole pine, Douglas‐fir, Weymouth pine, Siberian larch and Sitka spruce. The growth rates of one H. parviporum and one H. annosum isolate were also measured in the same stem pieces. The growth rate of P. gigantea varied greatly in wood of different conifer species. It was higher in the three pine species, lower in Norway spruce and lowest in Sitka spruce and Siberian larch, and in Douglas‐fir, this fungus did not grow. The largest area of wood occupied by P. gigantea was in lodgepole pine. Growth of Latvian isolates of P. gigantea in the wood of Pinus and Picea species was comparable to that of the Rotstop isolate. Consequently, stump treatment with local P. gigantea isolates should be recommended. However, our results suggest that Douglas‐fir stump treatment against Heterobasidion by P. gigantea may be ineffective and other stump treatment methods should be considered.  相似文献

The pathogenic fungus Heterobasidion annosum was identified in the rhizome of a couch grass (Elymus repens) using genetic markers. The couch grass grew in the proximity of a Scots pine stand that was visibly affected by the pathogen. The rDNA analysis showed 100% sequence similarity between two Hannosum sequences of ITS1 and ITS2 obtained from fruiting bodies found on the couch grass rhizome and on the stem of the Scots pine. These results indicate a close relationship between the two isolates of H. annosum and that they are derived from a common ancestor. The results show that H. annosum mycelia can infect couch grass rhizomes and subsequently produce fruiting bodies. It also suggests that the known modes of infection of tree roots by this pathogen in coniferous stands should take into account couch grass rhizomes in the dispersal of the disease in afforested post‐agricultural soils.  相似文献

Intersterility groups and clones of Heterobasidion annosum isolates from root and butt rots of conifers 69 H. annousum heterokaryons from scots pine, Douglas fir, Norway spruce and larch belonged to the P group, three heterokaryons from Norway spruce to the S group. The results of a study with clones of H. annosum isolates from roots of Scotch pine trees in close neighbourhood suggest colonisation by H. annosum (partly) via root contacts.  相似文献

Abstract

Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref. is a fungal pathogen causing annosum root rot – one of the most economically important diseases in coniferous stands. The major aim of this study was to compare the resistance of the offspring of Scots pine trees (Pinus sylvestris L.) from seed orchards and the offspring of trees that were naturally reproduced in old foci of the disease. In experiments conducted in vitro, we used 960 seedlings which were grown from seeds collected from 60 trees in 6 old foci of the disease and 640 seedlings grown from seeds collected in 4 seed orchards. The offspring of trees from seed orchards after inoculation with H. annosum had nearly twofold higher mortality rate than the seedlings developed from the seeds collected in old foci of the disease. This suggests that the offspring of self-sown trees in old foci of the disease has a greater, genetically conditioned resistance to annosum root rot.  相似文献

Production of crystals by Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref. (= Fomes annosus P. Karst.) and some other wood-inhabiting fungi. The formation of crystals was observed on hyphae and in the medium during in vitro investigations of antagonistic interrelationships between Heterobasidion annosum and 16 other fungi. In monocultures only Calciumoxalate was found. A crystalline organic compound was produced by Heterobasidion annosum on its hyphae, only in the presence of an antagonist. The compound was characterized spectrometrically.  相似文献
