Drimia maritima (squill) is a historically important medicinal plant. During the spring of 2016, small, yellow leaf spots, which became brown and finally necrotic, were observed on squill plants in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Provinces in Iran. A fungus was consistently isolated from infected leaves and identified as Alternaria alternata based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses. Pathogenicity tests confirmed A. alternata to be the causal agent of the newly observed leaf spot disease. This is the first report of leaf spot on D. maritima caused by A. alternata in the world.  相似文献

This is the first report of Alternaria leaf spot disease on coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) in South Africa. Using the agar plate method, Alternaria alternata was isolated from coriander seed lots together with four other fungal genera, which included Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium and Rhizopus. Standard seed germination tests of coriander seed lots infected with seed-borne mycoflora showed a positive correlation with the number of diseased seedlings (r?=?0.239, p?<?0.01). Pathogenicity tests demonstrated that this seed-borne A. alternata was pathogenic on coriander and symptoms on leaves first appeared as small, dark brown to black, circular lesions (<5 mm diam.) that enlarged and coalesced to form dark brown blotches as time progressed. Leaf spot disease was most severe (64%) on wounded leaves inoculated with A. alternata. Re-isolation of A. alternata from diseased coriander plants satisfied the Koch’s postulates, thus confirming it as the causal agent of Alternaria leaf spot disease. Parsimony analysis based on rpb2 (GenBank Accession No. KT895947), gapdh (KT895949) and tef-1α (KT895945) sequences confirmed identity of the Alternaria isolate, which grouped within the A. alternata clade. Alternaria alternata was shown to be transmitted from infected coriander seed to the developing plants.  相似文献

The apple pathotype of Alternaria alternata produces the cyclic depsipeptide AM-toxin and causes Alternaria blotch of apple. Previously, we cloned AMT2 from the apple pathotype as an orthologue of AFTS1, which is required for biosynthesis of the decatrienoic acid ester AF-toxin I of the strawberry pathotype. These genes were predicted to encode aldo-keto reductases involved in biosynthesis of a common precursor, 2-hydroxy-isovaleric acid, of AF-toxin I and AM-toxin. In this study, we analyzed the function of AMT2 in AM-toxin biosynthesis in the apple pathotype. DNA gel blot analysis of the apple pathotype strain IFO8984 with five restriction enzymes suggested that this strain has a single copy of AMT2 in the genome. However, gene disruption experiments showed that IFO8984 probably has three copies of AMT2. We made mutants having one or two copies of AMT2 disrupted. The single-copy mutants produced less AM-toxin than did the wild type and were still as pathogenic as the wild type. The two-copy mutants produced trace or undetectable amounts of AM-toxin and were markedly reduced in pathogenicity. Thus, AMT2 was verified to be required for AM-toxin biosynthesis and hence pathogenicity. The fact that the two-copy mutants have a remaining copy of AMT2 suggests that multiple copies of AMT2 are prerequisite for the pathogen to produce enough AM-toxin for full pathogenicity.  相似文献

Severe outbreaks of Alternaria leaf blotch and fruit spot were recently observed in cv. Pink Lady apples in northern Israel, especially on fruit. Such severe outbreaks have not been reported from other countries. Symptoms involved cracks and rot around the calyx and external rot of the fruit body. Up to 80 % of the fruit in some orchards were affected by the disease. Microscopic examinations, fulfillment of Koch’s postulates and molecular (genetic) analyses confirmed the causal agent as Alternaria alternata f. sp. mali. The incidence of Alternaria increased as the degree of calyx cracking increased, or if fruit were both cracked and rotted. Injecting spore suspensions into the fruit produced typical rot symptoms. Injection assays of detached fruit of eight apple cultivars showed that cvs. Pink Lady and Golden Delicious were susceptible whereas cv. Jonathan was resistant. Pink Lady and Golden Delicious produced more fruit rot as the inoculum concentration increased. Rot in all three cultivars was moderate close to the skin but more severe close to the seed locule. Aqueous extracts taken from Jonathan fruit peel inhibited germ tube elongation of A. alternata f. sp. mali in vitro. This is the first report on heavy infection of Pink Lady fruit in Israel caused by A. alternata f. sp. mali.  相似文献

Alternaria genus includes many plant pathogens on numerous hosts, causing leaf spots, rots and blights. Alternaria blight has been observed as one of the important fungal diseases of pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) as well as its wild relatives (P. terebinthus, P. lentiscus, P. khinjuk, P. atlantica, P. mutica) in Turkey. Alternaria species were sampled from Pistacia spp. hosts from different geographic regions in Turkey during field trips in late spring to early fall of 2013. Alternaria blight symptoms were observed mainly on fruits and rarely on leaves. Four hundred and twenty two of the isolates were morphologically defined as A. alternata, A. tenuissima, A. arborescens and also intermediate morpho-species between A. alternata/A. arborescens. Pathogenicity of the isolates was confirmed with host inoculations on detached fruits. Mating types of 270 isolates of Alternaria spp. from the collection were identified using a PCR-based mating type assay that amplifies either a MAT1-1 or a MAT1-2 fragment from the mating locus. Although a strongly clonal population structure was expected due to the putative asexual reproduction of these fungi, both idiomorphs were detected at equal frequencies at several different spatial scales. The distribution of mating types within each geographic region, within host species as well as in overall collection was not significantly different from 1:1. Amplified fragments of partial idiomorph sequences were obtained for representative isolates. Parsimony trees were depicted based on sequence data of mating type genes for these representative isolates as well as some other Alternaria species obtained by Genebank. Several point mutations presented a few clusters which are supported by high bootsrapped values. The Alternaria blight disease agents both from cultivated and wild hosts were pathogenic on pistachio which may cause difficulties to control the disease because of extensity of pathogen sources. Besides, equal mating type distribution of the pathogen at both geographic and host species levels suggests a potential for sexual reproduction of Alternaria spp. in Turkey.  相似文献

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an important oilseed crop in South Africa, and is grown in rotation with maize in some parts of North West, Limpopo, Free State, Mpumalanga and Gauteng provinces. Alternaria leaf blight is currently one of the major potential disease threats of sunflower and is capable of causing yield losses in all production regions. Alternaria helianthi was reported as the main cause of Alternaria leaf blight of sunflower in South Africa; however small-spored Alternaria species have been consistently isolated from leaf blight symptoms during recent surveys. The aim of this study was to use morphological and molecular techniques to identify the causal agent(s) of Alternaria blight isolated from South African sunflower production areas. Alternaria helianthi was not recovered from any of the sunflower lesions or seeds, with only Alternaria alternata retrieved from the symptomatic tissue. Molecular identification based on a combined phylogenetic dataset using the partial internal transcribed spacer regions, RNA polymerase second largest subunit, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, translation elongation factor and Alternaria allergen gene regions was done to support the morphological identification based on the three-dimensional sporulation patterns of Alternaria. Furthermore, this study aimed at evaluating the pathogenicity of the recovered Alternaria isolates and their potential as causal agents of Alternaria leaf blight of sunflower. Pathogenicity tests showed that all the Alternaria alternata isolates tested were capable of causing Alternaria leaf blight of sunflower as seen in the field. This is the first report of A. alternata causing leaf blight of sunflower in South Africa.  相似文献

The virulence spectrum of 300 isolates of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), representing 17 districts of Punjab, Pakistan was elucidated through inoculation on a set of six rice IRRI-differentials. The virulence level was assessed by using principal component and cluster analysis. Among six principal components (PCs), PC-1 exhibited 59.3 % of the total variance. The highly virulent isolates clusters on the positive side of the ordination away from the point of intersection of PC1 and PC2 and classifies the Xoo isolates from slow disease to the highest disease causing entities. The 300 isolates were categorized into 29 pathotypes (Pt1-29) wherein the highly virulent pathotype (Pt-1), comprises of 39 Xoo isolates were widespread in 12 districts. The majority of Xoo isolates were moderately to least virulent (21.7–43 %) and average disease progress curves confirmed the field reactions of these pathotype clusters for an efficient recognition of Xoo isolates. Interaction of the pathogen with differentials harboring different resistant genes was well investigated in the current study for future management approaches for which the surveillance of the new Xoo pathotypes may expedite the disease resistant rice breeding programme in the country.  相似文献

Early blight and brown spot, caused by respectively Alternaria solani and Alternaria alternata, can lead to severe yield losses in potato-growing areas. To date, fungicide application is the most effective measure to control the disease. However, in recent years, a reduced sensitivity towards several active ingredients has been reported. To shed light on this issue, Alternaria isolates were collected from different potato fields in Belgium during two growing seasons. Subsequently, the sensitivity of these isolates was assessed using four widely used fungicides with different modes of action. Demethylation inhibitors, quinone outside inhibitors, a dithiocarbamate and a carboxylic acid amide were included in this study. Although all fungicides reduced spore germination and vegetative growth of Alternaria species to some extent, the interspecies sensitivity was very variable. In general, A. solani was more suppressed by the fungicides compared to A. alternata. The effectiveness of the dithiocarbamate mancozeb was high, whereas the quinone outside inhibitor azoxystrobin showed a limited activity, especially towards A. alternata. Therefore, a subset of the A. alternata and A. solani isolates was tested for the presence of, respectively, the G143A substitution and the F129L substitution in the cytochrome b. The frequency of A. alternata isolates bearing the resistant G143A allele (approximately 65%) was comparable in both sampling years, although sensitivity of isolates decreased during the growing season. This finding points to a shift of the population towards resistant isolates. Both the European genotype I and American genotype II were present in the A. solani population, with genotype I being the most prevalent. None of the genotype I isolates carried the F129L substitution, whereas in 83% of the genotype II isolates this substitution was present. Our results demonstrate for the first time that the Belgian Alternaria population on potato comprises a considerable broad spectrum of isolates with different sensitivity to fungicides.  相似文献

Soft rot and blackleg of potato caused by pectinolytic bacteria lead to severe economic losses in potato production worldwide. To investigate the species composition of bacteria causing soft rot and black leg of potato in Norway and Poland, bacteria were isolated from potato tubers and stems. Forty-one Norwegian strains and 42 Polish strains that formed cavities on pectate medium were selected for potato tuber maceration assays and sequencing of three housekeeping genes (dnaX, icdA and mdh) for species identification and phylogenetic analysis. The distribution of the species causing soft rot and blackleg in Norway and Poland differed: we have demonstrated that mainly P. atrosepticum and P. c. subsp. carotovorum are the causal agents of soft rot and blackleg of potatoes in Norway, while P. wasabiae was identified as one of the most important soft rot pathogens in Poland. In contrast to the other European countries, D. solani seem not to be a major pathogen of potato in Norway and Poland. The Norwegian and Polish P. c. subsp. carotovorum and P. wasabiae strains did not cluster with type strains of the respective species in the phylogenetic analysis, which underlines the taxonomic complexity of the genus Pectobacterium. No correlation between the country of origin and clustering of the strains was observed. All strains tested in this study were able to macerate potato tissue. The ability to macerate potato tissue was significantly greater for the P. c. subsp. carotovorum and Dickeya spp., compared to P. atrosepticum and P. wasabiae.  相似文献

The receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCK family VII) are required for plant defense against various pathogens. Previously, OsPBL1 (ORYZA SATIVA ARABIDOPSIS PBS1-LIKE 1) was isolated from rice as a potential RSV (rice stripe virus) resistant factor, but its physiological roles in plant defense are yet to be investigated. In this study, we demonstrated that OsPBL1increased defense against P. syringae in transgenic Arabidopsis. To ascertain the role of OsPBL1 gene in plant defense, OsPBL1 tagged with HA (i.e. Hemagglutinin) was overexpressed in Arabidopsis and examined for the resistance against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (i.e. Pst DC3000). At 3 dpi of Pst DC3000, transgenic Arabidopsis lines exhibited the reduced chlorotic lesion and propagation of P. syringae, compared to wild type. Elevated pathogen resistance of transgenic lines was correlated with increased H2O2 accumulation and callose deposition on the infected leaves. It was also revealed that expression levels of salicylic acid dependent genes such as PR1, PR2, and PR5, were induced higher in transgenic lines than wild type. Taken together, our data suggested that OsPBL1 exerted the role in defense against pathogen attacks in plant via mainly facilitating salicylic acid dependent pathway.  相似文献

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) ARGINASE2 (ARG2) and THREONINE DEAMINASE2 (TD2) are involved in plant defense. These enzymes act in the midgut of herbivores fed on tomato plants to degrade the essential amino acids Arg and Thr, respectively. Although it has been demonstrated that overexpression of the SlARG2 gene in tomato enhanced its resistance against M. sexta larvae, knock-down the expression of SlTD2 reduced the resistance of tomato to lepidopteran herbivores; it remains unclear whether overexpression of SlTD2 could enhance the resistance of the host plants to herbivores, or whether combined overexpression of SlARG2 and SlTD2 could lead to synergistically enhanced resistance to insects. Here, we generated transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing SlARG2 (SlARG2 OE) and SlTD2 (SlTD2 OE) individually as well as in combination (SlARG2-SlTD2 OE). Overexpression of these genes did not affect Arabidopsis development, seed yield, or Arg and Thr content. Insect-feeding bioassay was performed by feeding diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella L.) larvae on detached leaves of wild-type, SlARG2 OE, SlTD2 OE, and SlARG2-SlTD2 OE plants. Larvae fed on SlARG2 OE leaves showed approximately 31% to 35% reduction in weight and 6% to 10% reduction in survival rate compared to those fed on wild-type leaves. Although larvae fed on SlTD2 OE leaves showed no reduction in survival rate, they gained less weight. Whereas larvae fed on SlARG2-SlTD2 OE leaves showed neither reduction in weight nor reduction in survival rate. We further investigated the arginase enzymatic activity of the SlARG2 OE and SlARG2-SlTD2 OE transgenic plants. The SlARG2 OE line most resistant to diamondback moth larvae displayed the highest arginase activity. Our data indicate that overexpression of SlARG2 or SlTD2 in Arabidopsis can enhance its resistance against diamondback moth, whereas combined overexpression of SlARG2 and SlTD2 did not generate synergistically increased resistance to diamondback moth.  相似文献

Fistupyrone (FP), a metabolite from Streptomyces sp. TP-A0569, inhibited the in vivo infection of Chinese cabbage seedlings by Alternaria brassicicola. To detect the possible action sites of FP, the effect of FP on the infection behavior of A. brassicicola and A. alternata was investigated. When spores of A. brassicicola were suspended in FP solution and inoculated on host leaves, FP at 0.1ppm significantly inhibited spore germination, appressorial formation, and infection hypha formation of A. brassicicola. Host-specific AB-toxin production and lesion formation by A. brassicicola spores were also reduced significantly by treatment with FP 1ppm. The effect of FP seemed to be irreversible because significant washing of FP-treated spores with distilled water (DW) did not change the inhibitory effects. In contrast, A. alternata isolates such as Japanese pear pathotype, apple pathotype, and saprophyte behaved almost equally in both FP- and DW-treated spores. Mycelial dry weight in potato dextrose broth and mycelial diameters on potato dextrose agar, gelatin glucose agar, and Czapek solution agar of both A. brassicicola and A. alternata were not different with or without addition of FP. These results indicate that FP at low concentrations has a fungicidal effect on spores of A. brassicicola but not on spores of A. alternata; FP also does not affect the vegetative phase of these fungi.  相似文献

Bacterial blight (BB) of rice caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), remains a major production constraint in rice cultivation especially in irrigated and rainfed lowland ecosystems in India. The pathogen is highly dynamic in nature and knowledge on pathotype composition among the Xoo population is imperative for designing a scientific resistance breeding program. In this study, four hundred isolates of Xoo collected from diverse rice growing regions of India were analyzed for their virulence and genetic composition. Virulence profiling was carried out on a set of differentials consisting of 22 near isogenic lines (NILs) of IR24 possessing different BB resistance genes and their combinations along with the checks. It was observed that different NILs possessing single BB resistance gene were susceptible to about 59–94% of the Xoo isolates except IRBB 13 (containing BB resistance gene xa13), which showed susceptibility to about 35% of the isolates. Based on the reaction of the Xoo isolates on the differentials, they were categorized into 22 pathotypes. Among the 22 pathotypes, IXoPt-1 and IXoPt-2 were least virulent and IXoPt # 18–22 were highly virulent. Pathotype IXoPt-19 which was virulent on all single BB resistance genes except xa13 constituted the major pathotype (22.5% isolates) and was widely distributed throughout India (16 states). This was followed by pathotype IXoPt-22 (17.25%) which was virulent on all the NILs possessing single BB resistance genes. Molecular analysis was carried out using two outwardly directed primers complementary to sequence of IS1112, a repetitive element of Xoo. A high level of genetic polymorphism was detected among these isolates and the isolates were grouped into 12 major clusters. The data indicated complex nature of evolution of the Xoo pathotypes and there was no strong correlation between pathotypes and genetic clusters as each genetic cluster was composed of Xoo isolates belonging to different pathotypes. The study indicated that none of the single BB resistance genes can provide broad spectrum resistance in India. However, two-gene combinations like xa5 + xa13 and different 3 or 4 genes combination like Xa4 + xa5 + xa13, Xa4 + xa13 + Xa21, xa5 + xa13 + Xa21 and Xa4 + xa5 + xa13 + Xa21 are broadly effective throughout India.  相似文献

The vector competence of Frankliniella occidentalis for Chrysanthemum stem necrosis virus (CSNV) was evaluated. Three vector strains with distinct competences for Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) transmission were investigated, including an artificially selected strain (TsH) that has a particularly high competence (>90 %). Newly hatched larvae of F. occidentalis were given an acquisition access period of 5 days on CSNV-infected D. stramonium leaves, and reared to maturity. Their transmission efficiencies were examined using a leaf disk assay using Petunia x hybrida leaves. Following the leaf disk assay, the virus accumulation in the vectors was examined via a double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) of their bodies. The results showed that the CSNV acquisition and transmission efficiency of the TsH strain did not differ from those of the others, indicating that the competence of F. occidentalis as a vector for CSNV is not related to that for TSWV. The CSNV transmission and acquisition efficiencies of two F. intonsa strains (Hiroshima and Fukuoka) were also evaluated. In Hiroshima strain, 35 % of adults were viruliferous, but only two transmitters (3 %) were observed. In Fukuoka strain, 6 % were viruliferous, and no transmitters were observed. These results indicate that F. intonsa cannot be a major vector for CSNV. The accumulation of CSNV in the adults of F. occidentalis and F. intonsa evaluated using DAS-ELISA showed a significant difference in ELISA values among transmitter, viruliferous non-transmitter, and non-viruliferous individuals. These results clearly demonstrated that only transmitters that accumulated a threshold quantity of virus can transmit CSNV to plants.  相似文献

Blight on leaves, stems and bulbs of lilies grown in a greenhouse were found in Hokkaido, Japan, in 2012. Two isolates obtained from the lesions were identified as Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group (AG)-11 based on morphology and molecular analysis. Original symptoms were reproduced after artificial inoculation with the isolates. Except for R. solani AG-2-1 and AG-4 HG-I, none of the AGs have been reported as pathogens causing lily Rhizoctonia disease in Japan; therefore, we propose adding AG-11 as a pathogen of the disease. More importantly, we report the first appearance of crop disease caused by AG-11 in Japan.  相似文献

Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is the causal agent of Camellia oleifera anthracnose, mainly infecting fruits and leaves. The fungus secretes degrading enzymes to destroy the cuticle of aerial plant parts and help infect the host successfully. To validate whether a cutinase gene (CglCUT1) was required for cutinase activity and pathogenicity of C. gloeosporioides, the CglCUT1 gene was cloned and analyzed. The characterization of CglCUT1 predicted protein suggests that the cloned DNA encoded a cutinase in C. gloeosporioides affecting C. oleifera. The CglCUT1 showed a high homology to those from C. gloeosporioides causing papaya anthracnose and C. capsici causing pepper anthracnose, as well as those of other ascomycetes. The whole CglCUT1 gene was knocked-out and the knockout mutant (?CglCUT39) was subsequently complemented using Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation. The knockout transformants exhibited significant decreases in cutinase activity and virulence compared with the wild-type strain. The complemented transformants of the disrupted transformant ?CglCUT39 showed a significant increase in cutinase activity and virulence compared with the disrupted transformant ?CglCUT39. This study suggests that the CglCUT1 gene has a positive effect on fungal virulence of the hemibiotrophic C. gloeosporioides on C. oleifera.  相似文献

This study was conducted to investigate the Alternaria species associated with leaf spot of date palm and wheat in Oman. Out of 98 date palm leaf samples and 146 wheat leaf samples, Alternaria was isolated from 27 and 23% of the samples developing leaf spot symptoms, respectively. Identification of Alternaria isolates using sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region of the ribosomal RNA (ITS rRNA), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH), translation elongation factor (TEF) and RNA polymerase II subunit (RPB2) genes, showed that the isolates belong to seven Alternaria species or species complexes. A. burnsii - A. tomato and A. arborescens species complexes (58 and 4%, respectively) and A. alternata (38%) were the species recovered from the symptomatic date palm leaves. A. alternata (67%), A. burnsii - A. tomato species complex (15%), A. jacinthicola (3%), A. ventricosa (3%), A. slovaca (6%) and Alternaria caespitosa (6%) were isolated from wheat. Pathogenicity test showed that tested isolates of A. alternata (DPM19, WDK12), A. burnsii - A. tomato species complex (DPM31), A. jacinthicola (WBR4) and A. slovaca (WDK9, WDK7) were pathogenic on date palm, while A. alternata (DPM19, WDK12), A. burnsii - A. tomato species complex (DPM31, WDK11) and A. slovaca (WDK9, WDK7) were pathogenic on wheat. This is the first report of date palm and wheat as new hosts for A. burnsii - A. tomato species complex and the first reports of A. burnsii - A. tomato species complex, A. caespitosa A. slovaca, and A. ventricosa in Oman. The study shows that several species of Alternaria are associated with leaf spot in date palm and wheat in Oman, with some isolates having the ability to cause infection in both hosts.  相似文献

Tomato fruits are susceptible to infection by Alternaria species. In addition, Alternaria species may contaminate the fruits with mycotoxins. There is thus interest in control systems to minimise pathogenicity and control toxin production. The objectives of this study were to examine the effect of plant extracts of Eucalyptus globulus and Calendula officinalis on the growth of strains of Alternaria alternata and A. arborescens, on pathogenicity of tomato fruits and mycotoxin production. The growth bioassays showed that the ethanolic and chloroformic fractions of E. globulus were the most effective in reducing growth of A. alternata (66–74 %) and A. arborescens (86–88 %), respectively at 2500 μg/g. The effects of plant extracts on mycotoxin biosynthesis were variable and strain dependent. The most effective fractions in decreasing mycotoxin accumulation were the ethanolic and chloroformic extracts of E. globulus, which reduced tenuazonic acid by 89 %, alternariol by 75–94 % and almost complete inhibition of alternariol monomethyl ether. All the tested fractions reduced percentage of infected tomato fruits when compared to the controls. The ethanolic and chloroformic fractions of E. globulus completely inhibited growth of A. alternata and A. arborescens on unwounded fruits and reduced the aggressiveness on wounded fruits of strains of both species significantly.  相似文献

Wheat leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina (Pt) is one of the most severe fungal diseases threatening the global wheat production. The use of leaf rust resistance (Lr) genes in wheat breeding programs is the major solution to solve this issue. Wheat isogenic line carrying the Lr39/41 gene has shown a moderate to high resistance to most of the Pt pathotypes detected in China. In the present study, a typical hypersensitive response (HR) was observed using microscopy in leaves of the Lr39/41 isogenic line inoculated with the avirulent Pt pathotype THTT from 48 h-post inoculation. Two Lr39/41 resistance-associated suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) libraries with a total of 6000 clones were established. Microarray hybridizations were performed on all obtained SSH clones using RNAs extracted from leaves of the Pt-inoculated and non-inoculated Lr39/41 isogenic lines, and leaves of the Pt-inoculated and non-inoculated Thatcher susceptible lines. Differentially expressed clones were analyzed by significance analysis of microarrays (SAM), followed by further sequencing. A total of 36 Lr39/41-resistance-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, many of which had been previously reported to be involved in the plant defense response. The expression levels of eight selected DEGs during different stages of the Lr39/41-mediated resistance were further quantified by a qRT-PCR assay. Several pathogenesis-related (PR) and HR-related genes seem to be crucial for the Lr39/41-mediated resistance. In general, a brief profile of DEGs associated with the Lr39/41-mediated wheat resistance to Pt was drafted.  相似文献

Olive knot disease in Japan was first reported in Shizuoka Prefecture in 2014, and the causal agent was identified as Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi. Subsequently, olive trees having knots were also found in Aichi and Kanagawa Prefectures in 2015, and the isolates from knots were also suspected to be P. savastanoi pv. savastanoi through preliminary examinations. Therefore, the Aichi and Kanagawa isolates were identified through comparison of isolates from three prefectures. Phylogenic analysis based on 16S rDNA and housekeeping genes (gyrB, rpoD, gltA and gap1) revealed that the isolates belonged to the same cluster as the pathotype strain, ICMP4352PT. The iaaM, H and L genes, which are involved in promotion of symptoms, and the ina gene coding the ice nucleation protein, were detected by PCR from all the isolates. In rep-PCR (ERIC and REP) analyses, the isolates yielded DNA fragment-banding patterns that were nearly identical to that of ICMP4352PT, but slight variations in banding patterns were observed among them. In a pathogenicity test, the isolates formed distinct knots on olive and pink jasmine. Phenotypic properties of the isolates were almost identical to those of ICMP4352PT, with the exception of d-sorbitol utilization. Consequently, Aichi and Kanagawa isolates from olive were identified as P. savastanoi pv. savastanoi, and several genetic diversities in terms of rep-PCR were found in the Japanese population of P. savastanoi pv. savastanoi, indicating their heterogeneity.  相似文献
