The greater wax moth Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is occasionally found in beehives and is a major pest of stored wax. Entomopathogenic fungi have
recently received attention as possible biocontrol elements for certain insect pests. In this study, 90 isolates of Beauveria bassiana and 15 isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae were screened for proteases and lipases production. The results showed significant variations in the enzymatic action between
the isolates. In the bioassay, the selected isolates evinced high virulence against the 4th instar of the G. mellonella larvae. The isolates BbaAUMC3076, BbaAUMC3263 and ManAUMC3085 realized 100% mortality at concentrations of 5.5 × 106 conidia ml−1, 5.86 × 105 conidia ml−1, and 4.8 × 106 conidia ml−1, respectively. Strong enzymatic activities in vitro did not necessarily indicate high virulence against the tested insect pest. The cuticle of the infected larvae became dark
and black-spotted, indicating direct attack of fungus on the defense system of the insects. The LC50 values were 1.43 × 103, 1.04 × 105 and 5.06 × 104 for Bba3263AUMC, Bba3076AUMC and Man3085AUMC, respectively, and their slopes were determined by computerized probit analysis
program as 0.738 ± 0.008, 0.635 ± 0.007 and 1.120 ± 0.024, respectively. 相似文献

The survival of Ralstonia solanacearum A1-9Rif race 1 phylotype I was studied in ten different soil types in the absence of the host plant as well as in infected tissues
of the stem and root of bell peppers buried in the soil at 0, 5, and 15 cm. The survival time of R. solanacearum A1-9Rif in the ten soil types ranged from 42 up to 77 days. Among the chemical and physical characteristics of the soil, clay content,
residual moisture, and available water were positively correlated, and pH was negatively correlated, with survival time, population
size at 42 days, and area under the population curve. The pathogen survival differed significantly in relation to the plant
tissues, but not with respect to the incorporation depth of the infected tissues. The root tissue of bell pepper supported
a larger bacterial population at 7 and 21 days (5 × 104 and 3.1 × 104 CFU g−1 tissue, respectively) compared with the stem tissue (0.35 × 104 and 0.48 × 104 CFU g−1 tissue, respectively) and also had a larger area under the population curve. On the other hand, the stem tissues presented
a greater decomposition rate and pH compared with the roots. In conclusion, the different types of studied soils as well as
the infected bell pepper tissues were considered potential primary sources of R. solanacearum inocula, but only for a short period. 相似文献

The apple rust mite Aculus schlechtendali (Nal.) (Acari: Eriophyidae), is a main pest in apple-growing areas in Ankara, Turkey, and chemical control applications have
some limitations. Entomopathogenic fungi have a potential for biological control of mites. In this study, an entomopathogenic
fungus, Paecilomyces lilacinus (Thom) Samson (Deuteromycota: Hyphomycetes), was first isolated from the mite cadavers on Japanese crab apple leaves and
pathogenicity of the fungus was observed in different inoculum densities and relative humidities. The pathogen caused up to
98.22% mortality of the mite population. The effects of some fungicides on the entomopathogenic fungus were determined in
in vitro studies. Carbendazim, penconazole and tebuconazole were the most effective fungicides on mycelial growth of P. lilacinus, with EC50 values under 3 μg ml−1. In spore germination tests, captan, mancozeb, propineb were the most effective fungicides, followed by tebuconazole, penconazole,
nuarimol and chlorothalonil. Sulphur could not inhibit the conidia germination totally at 5,000 μg ml−1. Copper oxychloride and fosetyl-al prevented conidia formation at concentrations above 1,000 μg ml−1. 相似文献

A granulosis virus strain infecting Pieris brassicae (PbGV) was isolated from the dry temperate region of northwestern Himalayas as a potential microbial agent for its management.
The effect of different botanicals (having insecticidal action against P. brassicae) on the bioefficacy of PbGV was evaluated under laboratory conditions using leaf disc bioassays on cabbage for improving
the insecticidal performance of the PbGV. The synergistic action of different botanical extracts was evident in terms of reduction
in LC50 values against different botanical extracts. Among different extracts, petroleum-ether extract of neem seed kernel (NSK)
when combined with PbGV resulted in maximum reduction of LC50 value (4.39 × 102 occlusion bodies [OBs] ml−1) followed by methanolic extract (7.38 × 102 OBs ml−1) and aqueous extract (9.36 × 103 OBs ml−1) as compared with PbGV alone (1.85 × 104 OBs ml−1) for 2nd instar larvae of the test insect. These trends were found analogous in cases of 3rd and 4th instars of P. brassicae with different solvent extracts of NSK. The other botanicals evaluated, viz., Eupatorium and Artemesia, also resulted in reduction of LC50 values for 2nd, 3rd and 4th instars as compared with PbGV alone when different extracts were combined with virus for bioassays.
The studies suggest that the PbGV in combination with botanical pesticides could be more useful as a bio-pesticide against
cabbage butterfly (P. brassicae) in IPM programs. 相似文献

Fusarium equiseti is prevalent in ginseng soil, straw mulch and in ginseng root tissues and is the cause of a root surface discolouration on
ginseng grown in British Columbia. Population levels of the fungus in ginseng fields ranged from 3.8 × 103 cfu g−1 soil to 1.4 × 104 cfu g−1 soil and were highest at 0–5 cm soil depths compared to 10–15 cm. Soil population levels were negatively correlated with
S content in soil and positively correlated with Zn levels. Barley or wheat straw added to soil significantly increased population
levels under laboratory conditions. Mycelial growth in culture was highest at 26–30°C and at pH 7.2–7.8. Samples of flowers
and berries, and harvested seed, contained DNA of F. equiseti detected using a Fusarium-specific DNA array and the fungus was isolated from these tissues on agar medium. A high degree of genetic variation in the
EF-1 alpha gene sequence was present among 52 isolates of F. equiseti which originated from ginseng fields. At least seven clades were identified. Inoculum dispersal from straw mulch used in
ginseng gardens can result in seed contamination by the fungus. In addition, fungal growth near the soil surface under warm
summer conditions can result in infection and crown discolouration of ginseng roots. 相似文献

Resistance to the fungicide boscalid in laboratory mutants of Botryotinia fuckeliana (Botrytis cinerea) was investigated. The baseline sensitivity to boscalid was evaluated in terms of colony growth (EC50 = 0.3–3 μg ml−1; MIC = 10–30 μg ml−1) and conidial germination (EC50 = 0.03–0.1 μg ml−1; MIC = 1–3 μg ml−1) tests. Mutants were selected in vitro from wild-type strains of the fungus on a fungicide-amended medium containing acetate as a carbon source. Mutants showed
two different levels of resistance to boscalid, distinguishable through the conidial germination tests: low (EC50 ∼ 0.3 μg ml−1, ranging from 0.03 to 1 μg ml−1; MIC > 100 μg ml−1) and high (EC50 > 100 μg ml−1) resistance. Analysis of meiotic progeny from crosses between resistant mutants and sensitive reference strains showed that
resistant phenotypes were due to mutations in single major gene(s) inherited in a Mendelian fashion, and linked with both
the Daf1 and Mbc1 genes, responsible for resistance to dicarboximide and benzimidazole fungicides, respectively. Gene sequence analysis of
the four sub-units of the boscalid-target protein, the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme, revealed that single or double point
mutations in the highly conserved regions of the iron-sulphur protein (Ip) gene were associated with resistance. Mutations
resulted in proline to leucine or phenylalanine replacements at position 225 (P225L or P225F) in high resistant mutants, and
in a histidine to tyrosine replacement at position 272 (H272Y) in low resistant mutants. Sequences of the flavoprotein and
the two transmembrane sub-units of succinate dehydrogenase were never affected. 相似文献

Wasabi (Wasabia japonica) is grown for its highly-valued rhizome which is used as a condiment in Japanese food. Symptoms of vascular blackening in
the rhizome were first observed in 2005 in plants grown in British Columbia, Canada. Microscopic observations and microbial
isolation from infected tissues revealed that most of the xylem tracheid cells were blackened and bacteria were consistently
associated with symptomatic plants. The bacterium most frequently recovered was identified as Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (Pcc) using BioLog™ and sequencing of a specific ~510 bp IGS region. Pathogen-free plants obtained using meristem-tip micropropagation
were inoculated with a wasabi isolate of Pcc. Vascular blackening symptoms developed in the rhizome after 8 weeks when the rhizome was first wounded by stabbing or cutting,
or if the roots were pre-inoculated with Pythium species isolated from rhizome epidermal tissues, followed by inoculation with Pcc at 1 × 108 cells ml−1. Xylem tracheid cells were blackened and Pcc was reisolated from all diseased tissues. The highest frequency of rhizome vascular blackening occurred at 22°C and 27°C
and these tissues occasionally succumbed to soft rot at higher temperatures, but not when inoculated tissues were incubated
at 10°C. The rooting medium used by growers for vegetative propagation of wasabi was shown to contain Pcc but the pathogen was not recovered from the irrigation water. Entry of Pcc through wounds on wasabi rhizomes and the host tissue response result in symptoms of vascular blackening. 相似文献

Susceptibility of eggs of Tribolium confusum du Val. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), Ephestia kuehniella (Zell.) (Lepidoptera: Phycitidae) and Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) to vapors of essential oil from garlic (Allium sativum L.), birch (Betula lenta L.), cinnamon (Cinnamonum zeylanicum (Blume)) and aniseed (Pimpinella anisum L.) was studied. Preliminary bioassay tests indicated that vapors of the essential oils had a significant effect on the eggs
of tested insect species when exposed to a concentration of 20 μl l
−1 air for 24 h. Generally, garlic and birch essential oils were more toxic to the eggs of tested insect species than cinnamon
and aniseed essential oils (except for eggs of T. confusum). There was also a significant difference between susceptibility of eggs of T. confusum, E. kuehniella and P. interpunctella to tested essential oils. Toxicity data indicated that eggs of T. confusum were more susceptible to tested essential oils, with LC90 values ranging from 3.11 to 33.49 μl l
−1 air, than those of E. kuehniella and P. interpunctella; eggs of P. interpunctella were the most tolerant to the essential oils, with LC90 values ranging from 22.02 to 72.42 μl l
−1 air. Concentration × time (Ct) products of 0.29, 0.22, 0.13 and 1.37 mg h l
−1 for garlic, birch, cinnamon and aniseed essential oil, respectively, were required to obtain 90% kill of T. confusum eggs. Although cinnamon essential oil had a much closer Ct product value to methyl bromide, garlic and birch essential oils
were found to be the most promising ones since they had also high fumigant toxicity on eggs of both E. kuehniella and P. interpunctella. 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

The effects of some fungicides used against citrus diseases, on mycelial growth and conidial germination of Isaria farinosa (Holmsk.) Fries [Sordariomycetes: Hypocreales] and also on the pathogenicity of the fungus on citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri (Risso), were determined. Systemic fungicides such as tebuconazole, penconazole and nuarimol were the most effective as regards
both conidial germination and mycelial growth. Protective fungicides such as captan, chlorothalonil, mancozeb and propineb
inhibited conidial germination at between 1 and 5 μg ml−1 concentration, but captan, chlorothalonil and propineb did not inhibit the mycelial growth at 5,000 μg ml−1. Mancozeb inhibited mycelial growth between 2,500 and 5,000 μg ml−1. Sulphur and copper oxychloride did not inhibit the fungus even at very high concentrations. Sulphur, copper oxychloride,
fosetyl-al, chlorothalonil and carbendazim did not decrease the mortality percentage caused by I. farinosa. Tebuconazole, penconazole and mancozeb were the most effective and respectively reduced the mortality from 83% to 33%, 28%
and 30% in the ovisacs, from 81% to 29%, 27% and 29% in the 1st instar larvae, and from 84% to 34% in the adult females. 相似文献

Sclerotinia stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a serious threat to oilseed production in Australia. Eight isolates of S. sclerotiorum were collected from Mount Barker and Walkway regions of Western Australia in 2004. Comparisons of colony characteristics
on potato dextrose agar (PDA) as well as pathogenicity studies of these isolates were conducted on selected genotypes of Brassica napus and B. juncea. Three darkly-pigmented isolates (WW-1, WW-2 and WW-4) were identified and this is the first report of the occurrence of
such isolates in Australia. There was, however, no correlation between pigmentation or colony diameter on PDA with the pathogenicity
of different isolates of this pathogen as measured by diameter of cotyledon lesion on the host genotypes. Significant differences
were observed between different isolates (P ≤ 0.001) in two separate experiments in relation to pathogenicity. Differences were also observed between the different Brassica genotypes (P ≤ 0.001) in their responses to different isolates of S. sclerotiorum and there was also a significant host × pathogen interaction (P ≤ 0.001) in both experiments. Responses between the two experiments were significantly correlated in relation to diameter
of cotyledon lesions caused by selected isolates (r = 0.79; P < 0.001, n = 48). Responses of some genotypes (e.g., cv. Charlton) were relatively consistent irrespective of the isolates of the pathogen
tested, whereas highly variable responses were observed in some other genotypes (e.g., Zhongyou-ang No. 4, Purler) against
the same isolates. Results indicate that, ideally, more than one S. sclerotiorum isolate should be included in any screening programme to identify host resistance. Unique genotypes which show relatively
consistent resistant reactions (e.g., cv. Charlton) across different isolates are the best for commercial exploitation of
this resistance in oilseed Brassica breeding programmes. 相似文献

In order to explore the molecular mechanisms of virulence and genetic variance of Curvularia lunata in maize, an ATMT (Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation) system was established in order to create a wide range of insertional transformants of C. lunata. Our results showed that the germinating conidia were the ideal starting material for transformation. Based on our optimised
transformation condition, the transformation efficiency of C. lunata with T-DNA was improved greatly, and the average transformation frequency was as high as 84 ± 5 transformants per 1 × 106 germlings. Southern blotting results of 39 randomly-selected transformants showed a unique hybridisation pattern and predominant
single-copy insertions. An ATMT library containing approximate 3000 transformants was generated, and four types of transformants
were screened in terms of growth rate, sporulation, mycelial pigmentation, and toxin production in vitro. This library will be used to identify genes involved in the virulence of the pathogen. 相似文献

The pathogenicity and reproductive fitness of Pratylenchus coffeae and Radopholus arabocoffeae from Vietnam on coffee (Coffea arabica) seedlings cv. Catimor were evaluated in greenhouse experiments. The effect of initial population densities (Pi = 0, 1, 2,
4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256 nematodes per cm3 soil) was studied for both species at different days after inoculation (dai). The data were adjusted to the Seinhorst damage
model Y = m + (1-m).zPi-T. Tolerance limit (T) for P. coffeae was zero for the height and the diameter of the coffee plants. For the diameter, the T-value for R. arabocoffeae was 25.6 for 30 and 60 dai and 12.8 for 90 and 120 dai. After 4 months T was zero. The low tolerance limits indicate that
Arabica coffee is highly intolerant to both nematode species. At the end of the experiment (180 dai), all plants were infected
and most were dead when inoculated with R. arabocoffeae at initial densities of 32, 64, 128 and 256 nematodes/cm3 soil. For P. coffeae plant death was already observed at the lowest inoculation densities. Growth of coffee was reduced at all inoculation levels
for both species. Pratylenchus coffeae and R. arabocoffeae caused intense darkening of the roots, leaf chlorosis and a strong reduction of root and shoot growth. It was observed that
P. coffeae mainly destroyed lateral roots rather than tap roots, whereas R. arabocoffeae reduced tap root length rather than the lateral roots. At the lowest inoculum densities, the reproduction factor of P. coffeae was 2.38 and 2.01 for R. arabocoffeae, indicating that arabica coffee is a host for both species. Plant growth as expressed by shoot height and shoot and root
weight measured 60 dai was negatively correlated with nematode (both species) density as expressed by the geometric mean of
nematode numbers at 30 and 60 dai. 相似文献

The yeast Pichia anomala strain K was selected in Belgium from the apple surface for its antagonistic activity against post-harvest diseases of apples.
The efficacy of this strain against P. expansum was evaluated in the laboratory in three scenarios designed to mimic practical conditions, with different periods of incubation
between biological treatment, wounding of fruit surface, and pathogen inoculation. Higher protection levels and higher final
yeast densities were obtained when the applied initial concentration was 1 × 108 cfu ml−1 than when it was only 1 × 105 cfu ml−1. The protection level correlated positively with the yeast density determined in wounds and was influenced by apple surface
wetness. In orchard trials spanning two successive years, biological treatment against P. expansum, based on a powder of P. anomala strain K (1 × 107 cfu ml−1), β-1,3-glucans (YGT 2 g l−1), and CaCl2.2H20 (20 g l−1), was applied to apples pre- or post-harvest under practical conditions and its effect compared with standard chemical treatments.
The first year, the highest reduction (95.2%) against blue decay was obtained by means of four successive fungicide treatments
and the next-highest level (87.6%) with pre-harvest high-volume spraying of the three-component mixture 12 days before harvest.
The second year, the best results were obtained with post-harvest Sumico (carbendazim 25% and diethofencarb 25%) treatment
and post-harvest biological treatment, both by dipping the apples, 88.3 and 56.3% respectively. A density threshold of 1 × 104 cfu cm−2 of strain K on the apple surface seemed to be required just after harvest for high protective activity, whatever the method
and time of application. In the case of pre-harvest biological treatments, variations in meteorological conditions between
the 2 years may have considerably affected strain K population density and its efficacies. 相似文献

The predatory insect Anthocoris minki Dohrn (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) is an indigenous Anthocoris species for the biological control of pests in pistachio orchards. The pistachio psylla Agonoscena pistaciae Burckhardt and Lauterer (Homoptera: Psyllidae) is an important insect pest in pistachio trees in Turkey. Similarly, Brachycaudus (Thuleaphis) amygdalinus (Schouteden) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a pest of almond trees that is considered as alternative prey for A. minki when pistachio psylla are not available in early spring on pistachio trees. The development time, survival percentage of
immature stages, longevity, fecundity, prey consumption, and life table parameters of A. minki fed on A. pistaciae and B. amygdalinus nymphs were determined at 25 ± 1°C, 70 ± 5% r.h., and a 16 h:8 h (L:D) photoperiod under laboratory conditions. The nymphal
survival rate was significantly higher when nymphs were fed on A. pistaciae (an average of 96.7%) than on B. amygdalinus (an average of 71.4%). The development time of A. minki was significantly shorter when nymphs were fed on B. amygdalinus (10.3 days) as opposed to A. pistaciae (11.0 days). No significant differences among prey species were found for longevity and fecundity. The total female longevity
and fecundity of A. minki was 38.0 days and 247.2 eggs, respectively, when nymphs were fed on A. pistaciae; and 35.4 days and 233.0 eggs, respectively, when nymphs were fed on B. amygdalinus. On average, 104.4 A. pistaciae and 77.7 B. amygdalinus nymphs were consumed during the nymphal development time for A. minki. Adults of A. minki consumed significantly more psyllids than aphids throughout their life span. The greater difference did not significantly
inpact the longevity and fecundity of A. minki. Females of A. minki consumed an average of 631.0 A. pistaciae and an average of 273.3 B. amygdalinus nymphs, while female predators consumed significantly more prey than males. The intrinsic rate of increase (r
m
) of A. minki fed on A. pistaciae (0.174) was significantly greater than those fed on B. amygdalinus (0.148). The successful development and reproduction of both A. pistaciae and B. amygdalinus indicates that they are suitable prey for A. minki. 相似文献

Five field experiments were performed in commercial orchards located in Lleida (Spain) over three growing seasons, 2000–2002,
in order to estimate the relationship between the incidence of latent infection caused by Monilinia spp. in peaches and the incidence of post-harvest brown rot. No latent infection was recorded at popcorn and the maximum
incidence occurred pre-harvest; in some orchards a second peak was detected during the pit hardening period. Monilinia laxa is the most prevalent species isolated from peaches with brown rot. There was a positive correlation between the incidence
of latent infection and that of post-harvest brown rot. The average incidence of latent infection during the crop season explained
55% of the total variation in the incidence of post-harvest brown rot. The effect of temperature (T) and duration of wetness (W) on the incidence of latent infection in peach and nectarine orchards was analysed using multiple regression. The regression
analysis indicated that T and W jointly explained 83% of the total variation in the incidence of latent infection. The model predicts no latent infections
when T < 8°C, and >22 h wetness are required when T = 8°C but only 5 h at 25°C are necessary for latent infection to occur. The incidence of brown rot and latent infection of
peaches caused by M. laxa under controlled experimental conditions were also affected by T and W, as well as by fruit maturity and inoculum concentration. Latent infections were produced in fruit when T was not suitable for the development of brown rot symptoms. In these experiments more than 4–5 h of daily wetness were required
after embryo growth in fruit sprayed to run-off with an inoculum concentration higher than 104 conidia ml−1 of M. laxa for brown rot and latent infections to develop. The fitted model obtained from the field data was able to predict the observed
data obtained under controlled environmental conditions. 相似文献

India has a rich biodiversity of microbes. Soil is the major source for isolation of entomopathogens, after the infected insects
themselves. Four isolates of Helicoverpa armigera nuclear polyhedrosis virus (HearNPV) were obtained from the samples collected one each from Anand, Surat and Junagadh of
Gujarat and Patancheru of Andhra Pradesh. All the HearNPV isolates appeared as clear, irregular six-sided objects with rounded
edges, phase-bright under phase contrast. Junagadh, Surat, Patancheru and Anand isolates gave 27.47–42.80%, 36.83–51.32%,
26.05–43.76% and 42.99–54.85% mortality, respectively, when the percent mortality was pooled over period. The least number
of HearNPV polyhedral inclusion bodies (PIBs) (5.1 × 107) of the Anand isolate were required to kill 50% of the H. armigera population within 120 h. The Anand isolate was fastest (90.30 h), followed by Surat (120.26 h), Junagadh (139.53 h) and Patancheru
(143.10 h) in killing 50% of the H. armigera population at a dose of 109 PIBs ml−1. RAPD analysis of all 15 arbitrary oligonucleotide primers generated 353 scorable bands with 201 loci. A total of 181 polymorphic
bands were obtained, ranging in size from 141 to 1,873 base pairs. The percentage of polymorphic loci was 90.19%. The mean
polymorphism information content (PIC) value for 15 primers was found to be 0.99. The similarity coefficient values based
on 15 RAPD markers ranged from 0.235 to 0.407. The four isolates were grouped into two clusters: one cluster consisted of
Junagadh and Anand and the second cluster consisted of Surat and Patancheru. 相似文献

The baseline sensitivity of Botrytis cinerea to propamidine and assessment of the risk of propamidine resistance in vitro are presented in this article. The baseline
sensitivities of 41 wild-type strains were distributed as a unimodal curve with EC50 values of mycelial growth ranging from 0.182 to 1.460 μg ml−1, with a mean of 0.79 ± 0.27 μg ml−1. A total of 10 resistant mutants, obtained from one parental strain, were induced by UV irradiation and selected for resistance
to propamidine with an average frequency of 1.98 × 10−9 and 0.025 respectively. These mutants were divided into three classes of resistant phenotypes with low (LR), moderate (MR)
and high (HR) levels of resistance, determined by the EC50 values of 5.0–15.0 μg ml−1, 15.1–75.0 μg ml−1 and more than 75.0 μg ml−1 respectively. Neither positive cross-resistance nor negative cross-resistance was detected between propamidine and the fungicides,
benzimidazole carbendazim, anilino-pyrimidine pyrimethanil, dicarboximide iprodione or procymidone. All 10 propamidine-resistant
mutants showed reduced mycelial growth in vitro, sporulation, spore germination and pathogenicity when compared with the parental
strain. These studies demonstrated that propamidine possesses a low risk of resistance developing. However, as B. cinerea is a high-risk pathogen, appropriate precautions against resistance development should be taken. 相似文献

inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for mandipropamid, dimethomorph, benthiavalicarb and iprovalicarb were 0.005, 0.5, 0.5 and
5 μg ml−1, respectively. Mutagenesis experiments showed that spores exposed to EMS (ethyl methane sulphonate) or UV irradiation (254 nm)
could infect lettuce leaves in the presence of up to 100 μg ml−1 CAA. The proportion of infected leaves relative to the number of spores inoculated (infection frequency) was inversely related
to the concentration of CAA used, ranging between 0 and 160 per 1 × 106 spores. Resistant mutants (RM) lost their resistance within 1–14 reproduction cycles on CAA-treated plants. Crosses were
made between RMxWT isolates and RMxRM isolates with an attempt to obtain stable homozygous resistant off-springs. Such crosses
yielded few resistant but unstable progeny isolates. Mutagenic treatments given to hybrid isolates also failed to produce
stable resistance. Previous gene sequencing data showed that stable resistance to CAAs is based on a single SNP in the cellulose synthase 3 (CesA3) gene of Plasmopara viticola. Therefore, we sequenced a 582 bp DNA fragment of Ces3A of WT, RM and hybrid isolates of B.lactucae. No mutation in this gene fragment was found. We conclude that mutagenic agents like EMS or UV may induce resistance to CAA
in Bremia lactucae but this resistance is not stable and not linked to mutations in CesA3 gene. 相似文献
