Rice blast, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most devastating diseases of rice (Oryza sativa L.), and neck blast is the most destructive phase of this disease. Although neck blast causes tremendous yield loss, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying the neck blast resistance. To address this issue, we collected 358 rice varieties from different ecotypes in China and assessed them for the neck blast resistance under natural conditions favoring disease development in Jining, Shandong Province. Our results showed that 124 (34.6%) and 234 (65.4%) varieties were resistant and susceptible to M. oryzae under natural field conditions, respectively. Among the 358 rice varieties that were screened for the presence of 13 major blast resistance (R) genes against M. oryzae by using functional markers, 259 varieties contained one to seven R genes. In addition, the relationship between the presence of R genes and the disease reactions was also investigated by integrative analysis of phenotyping and genotyping based on functional markers. Our results showed that the rice blast resistance gene Pi2 was significantly correlated with neck blast resistance. Furthermore, any of the 13 major blast R genes was absent from 32 rice varieties exhibited obvious neck blast resistance, which would be the potential materials for identifying novel neck blast R genes. Taken together, our findings provide insight into the distribution of the 13 major blast R genes in the tested Chinese rice germplasm resources, which will serve as a basis for developing rice blast resistant. Furthermore, 32 rice varieties exhibited neck blast resistance, but they did not harbor any of the 13 major blast R genes. In the future, these varieties may be used to identify novel neck blast R genes.  相似文献

Pyricularia oryzae (rice blast) conidial development at pre-penetration stage determines success or otherwise of infection inside the rice host plants. Studies on conidial germination and growth on the leaf surface in commercial rice (Oryza sativa) report differently, dependent upon host type and level of blast resistance. Although wild rice (O. australiensis) is known to be an alternative host of blast, the interaction between P. oryzae conidia and wild O. australiensis on its leaf surface has not been previously studied. We found significant (P?<?0.001) differences in conidial development between two blast isolates with different virulence in terms of conidial germination, germ tube growth and appressoria formation on both wild and cultivated rice. Conidial germination at 6 h post-inoculation (hpi) for the virulent isolate was significantly (P?<?0.001) delayed. Germ tubes of the avirulent isolate conidia grew significantly (P?<?0.001) faster and with significantly (P?<?0.001) longer germ tubes than from virulent conidia. Appressoria development for the virulent isolate was significantly (P?<?0.001) faster at its later growth stages of 12 and 18 hpi when approximately 100% of germ tubes formed appressoria. In contrast, formation rate of appressoria for the avirulent isolate was significantly (P?<?0.001) slower and only reached 76% of germ tubes forming appressoria. Appressoria formation on O. australiensis was significantly (P?<?0.001) greater than the formation on O. sativa for both virulent and avirulent P. oryzae at 12 hpi, a clear indication that host type influences the extent of appressoria formation.  相似文献

Rice production is currently expanding from the south-eastern regions of Australia into northern Australia where indigenous species of wild rice occur widely. A survey of fungal diseases on wild (Oryza australiensis, Oryza spp.) and cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) in North Queensland, Australia, in May 2014 revealed a diverse range of fungal genera species, including important pathogens of cultivated rice. Whilst a single isolate of Magnaporthe oryzae (causal agent of rice blast) was obtained from wild rice, Bipolaris oryzae (causal agent of brown spot) was the predominant pathogen detected under North Queensland conditions. For the first time for Australia, we report Rhizoctonia oryzae-sativae (causal agent of aggregate sheath spot) occurring on wild rice. Other pathogens detected on wild rice included Curvularia lunata, Cochliobolus intermedius, Cochliobolus geniculatus, and Fusarium equiseti present in the majority of wild rice samples. Nearby cultivated rice fields harboured additional pathogens not found in wild rice including Fusarium graminearum, Leptosphaeria spegazzinii and Cochliobolus lunatus, causing scab disease, glume blight and leaf blight, respectively. We also confirmed that Bipolaris oryzae from wild rice can infect cultivated rice. This study highlights the importance of wild rice species as alternative hosts harbouring pathogens of cultivated rice and the likely disease threats to expansion of cultivated rice into the same region(s) where wild rice is endemic.  相似文献

Fungicides are the preferred rice blast (Pyricularia oryzae) control option by farmers. However, no fungicides are yet registered for this purpose in Australia. Hence, it is important to test the baseline sensitivity of P. oryzae isolates collected from blast-affected regions across northern Australia, which have not yet been exposed to the fungicides, as part of a resistance management strategy. Further, it is also important to investigate and compare effect of application timing of fungicides on conidial development, including germination and germ tube growth, and penetration on susceptible rice. The EC50 of a collection of fungicide-sensitive blast isolates were within the range of 0.02–2.02 and 0.06–1.91 mg L?1 for azoxystrobin and propiconazole, respectively. Azoxystrobin was shown to have greater inhibitory effect on conidial germination than propiconazole. In addition, for pre-inoculation application, only germ tubes in the presence of external nutrients continued to grow from 24 to 48 hpi. On susceptible seedlings, both fungicides completely controlled blast disease when applied the same day as inoculation. However, for pre- or post-inoculation application of fungicide, the extent of disease control was reduced, with azoxystrobin more efficacious than propiconazole. A stimulatory effect of both fungicides at low dose was observed on certain P. oryzae isolates. This is the first study to assess the baseline sensitivity of the P. oryzae population in Australia and the first to report a stimulatory effect of low azoxystrobin concentration on growth of P. oryzae. The study highlights, for the first time, the critical role of external nutrients in promoting germ tube growth under fungicide stress conditions. Lastly, it demonstrates the high degree of efficacy of the fungicides and their potential for future rice blast management in Australia.  相似文献

Plant volatile compounds, including terpenes, are known to be involved in the rice defense system. In the present analysis of a terpene synthase, OsTPS18, in rice, we found that OsTPS18 was localized in the cytoplasm and synthesized the sesquiterpenes (E)-nerolidol and (E)-β-farnesene. The amounts of (E)-nerolidol and (E)-β-farnesene increased after jasmonic acid (JA) treatment. (E)-Nerolidol had significant antibacterial activity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). These results suggest that (E)-nerolidol plays an important role in JA-induced resistance against Xoo and that it functions as an antibacterial compound in rice.  相似文献

Rice blast is a devastating fungal disease resulting in major losses to rice crops. Owing to continuous acquisition of resistance by the causal fungus, several fungicide chemicals are no longer effective. Therefore, there is a need to identify natural components and develop new agents to control fungal pathogens. We previously demonstrated that the culture filtrate of Biscogniauxia sp. O821 inhibited infection behavior of Magnaporthe oryzae and subsequent blast lesion formation. In the present study, we isolated a new compound, (3aS,4aR,8aS,9aR)-3a-hydroxy-8a-methyl-3,5-dimethylenedecahydronaphto[2,3-b]furan-2(3H)-one (HDFO), from the culture filtrate of Biscogniauxia sp. O821 and determined its molecular weight as 248. The HDFO structure was determined by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy after purification with column chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography. The structure of this antifungal compound was similar to that of alantolactone and isoalantolactone. The growth inhibition zone against M. oryzae in presence of HDFO was observed at Rf 0.5–0.6 on a thin layer chromatography plate. HDFO inhibited conidial germination of M. oryzae in a dose-dependent manner (1–200 ppm). Furthermore, blast lesion formation was significantly suppressed by HDFO at over 5 ppm. These results suggest that HDFO from the culture filtrate of Biscogniauxia sp. O821 can protect rice from rice blast disease caused by M. oryzae. This is the first report that HDFO produced by Biscogniauxia sp. can serve as an antifungal compound against M. oryzae.  相似文献

The rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae mainly overwinters in infested rice organs stored indoors, whereas it is difficult or impossible for the pathogen to overwinter outdoors. By contrast, blast pathogens infecting weed grasses must overwinter outdoors every winter to continue their life cycle. In this study, we investigated the overwintering location of P. oryzae infecting wild, green, and giant foxtails to identify the mechanism that enables them to overwinter. Recovery of P. oryzae was tested in seeds of wild foxtail collected from the soil surface from December to April over three winters. No P. oryzae was recovered from the seed samples of any wild foxtail collected at the ends of the three experimental periods in April. Recovery was also tested from blast lesions on leaves and seeds sampled from withered green foxtail in the experimental field of Saga University from November to April during two winters. In contrast to seeds on the soil surface, P. oryzae survived in lesions and seeds at the ends of the two experimental periods during April, suggesting that withered host plants could be the overwintering site of the pathogen. Rice plants are reaped and removed from paddy fields after harvesting. Thus, withered, standing plants may be available solely to blast pathogens infecting wild grasses, possibly explaining the higher winter survival frequency of weed pathogens than that of rice blast pathogens outdoors.  相似文献

An ethyl acetate extract of a culture filtrate (ECF) from an unidentified fungal isolate O821 was evaluated for antifungal activity against the rice pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae. The O821-ECF significantly inhibited spore germination, appressorium formation, and mycelial growth of M. oryzae, and its antifungal activity was heat-stable. It also significantly suppressed the number and size of blast lesions. In an analysis of the ITS sequence of this isolate, it shared similarities with species of the fungus Biscogniauxia. These results suggest that isolate O821 of the genus Biscogniauxia produces a heat-stable antifungal compound(s) in its culture filtrate.  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 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

Arabidopsis thaliana exhibits a durable resistance called nonhost resistance against nonadapted fungal pathogens. A. thaliana activates preinvasive resistance and terminates entry attempts by nonadapted fungi belonging to the genus Colletotrichum, which cause anthracnose disease in many plants. In the interaction between A. thaliana and nonadapted C. tropicale, the preinvasive resistance involves the PENETRATION 2-related antifungal secondary metabolite pathway and the ENHANCED DISEASE RESISTANCE 1-dependent antifungal peptide pathway. The development of invasive hyphae by C. tropicale owing to the reduction of preinvasive resistance then triggers the blockage of further hyphal expansion via the activation of the second layer of resistance, i.e., postinvasive resistance, which guarantees the robustness of the nonhost resistance of A. thaliana against Colletotrichum pathogens. Both the tryptophan-derived metabolic pathway and glutathione synthesis play critical roles in the postinvasive resistance against C. tropicale, although the molecular mechanism of postinvasive resistance remains to be elucidated. In this review, we describe the current understanding of the molecular background of the Arabidopsis nonhost resistance against Colletotrichum fungi and discuss perspectives for future research on this durable resistance.  相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in plant growth, development and responses to stresses. Rice blast is one of the most devastating diseases in rice production. However, little is known regarding the effects of miRNAs response to rice blast. Herein, by deep sequencing small RNA from the susceptible line ZhongerRuanzhan and its space-induced blast resistant mutant line H4 under normal conditions and upon Magnaporthe oryzae (M. orzyzae) infection, several known miRNAs were detected and their expression profiles were found to be negatively correlated with their targets. And, a total of 50 novel miRNAs induced by M. oryzae infection were also identified from four small RNA libraries. Moreover, 176 putative targets of 23 novel miRNAs, which are involved in the various functions, were validated by two degradome analysis. Six novel miRNAs were selected for further validation with qRT-PCR analysis and the results showed that their expression levels were associated with blast response. The knowledge obtained in this study will help us understanding the functions of miRNAs and their targets in regulating blast resistance.  相似文献

Appressorium differentiation, one of the most important steps in pathogenesis by the rice blast fungus, Pyricularia oryzae, is strongly coordinated with the cell cycle. In this study, we identified an ortholog gene of 53BP1, which encodes a signal transducer protein that participates in G2-M cell cycle checkpoint in higher eukaryotes, in the genome of P. oryzae and characterized the phenotype of deletion and overexpression mutants. Deletion mutants showed no significant deficiency in vegetative growth compared to wild-type and complemented strains, even on the media containing DNA-damaging agents. However, these null mutants had abnormal appressoria and formed more appressoria per conidium than in the wild type and were unable to penetrate the epidermis of rice leaves. eGFP-fused Mop53BP1 and qRT-PCR analyses revealed that Mop53BP1 is expressed during the first hours of appressorium formation. In addition, in overexpression mutants, Mop53BP1 localized to nuclei during all stages of appressorium maturation and penetration, and the mutants were resistant to the microtubule inhibitor benomyl, suggesting that Mop53BP1 is nuclear protein and may have some role related to microtubules.  相似文献

The complex of Diaporthe (asexual morph) species occurring on soybean constitutes an important pathogenic group associated with diseases such as pod and stem blight, seed decay and stem canker. Stem canker, caused by Diaporthe aspalathi, has been reported as the most aggressive form of canker and its occurrence has limited soybean crop productivity in the southern United States. The main form of pathogen control is the use of stem canker resistant soybean varieties. In this study, strains of Diaporthe and Phomopsis were isolated from stem and seeds of soybean in different locations in South America during the years 1989–2014. Genomic DNA from 26 isolates were analyzed by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) techniques, and sequencing of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of ribosomal DNA. The molecular analysis of ITS sequences by alignment with those of ex-type strains deposited in GenBank and morphological characteristics allowed the identification of Phomopsis longicolla, D. phaseolorum var. sojae, D. caulivora and D. aspalathi. An analysis of the pathogenicity of 13 isolates of D. aspalathi inoculated in soybean genotypes carrying different resistance genes to stem canker (Rdm1, Rdm2, Rdm3, Rdm4, Rdm5 and Rdm?) enabled us to identify the occurrence of at least three races of D. aspalathi occurring in Brazil. Among the isolates identified as D. aspalathi, both molecular and phenotypic analyses showed clustering depending on the date of collection and pathogenicity, which revealed the existence of variability of the pathogen.  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

In the present study, the effect of red light on the infection behavior of Bipolaris oryzae on rice leaves and the effects of chemical inhibitors and spore germination fluid (SGF) of B. oryzae on red-light-induced resistance against brown spot disease were investigated. Red light irradiation and natural light did not differ significantly with respect to their effect on spore germination and appressorium formation of B. oryzae 24 h after inoculation. However, formation of infection hyphae was significantly inhibited under red light compared to that under natural light. Pretreatment with the photosynthetic inhibitor 3-(3,4-dichorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU) or with the aromatic amino acid inhibitor N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine (glyphosate) for 24 h inhibited the development of resistance in rice leaves. To elucidate the elicitor(s) produced during the B. oryzae–rice plant interaction, the effect of SGF prepared in the absence (A-SGF) or presence (P-SGF) of rice leaves on red-light-induced resistance was investigated. When rice plants were pretreated with A-SGF or P-SGF for 24 h, P-SGF had elicitor activity under red light, but not under natural light or with A-SGF. These results suggest that germinating spore of B. oryzae produced an elicitor(s) under red light conditions in a host-dependent manner. In conclusion, we hypothesize that an unidentified elicitor(s) produced at an early stage of fungal infection during the B. oryzae–rice interaction contributes to the inhibition of cell death in rice leaves under red light and enhances resistance-related tryptophan and phenylpropanoid pathways.  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

Magnaporthe oryzae chrysovirus 1 strain A (MoCV1-A) is associated with an impaired growth phenotype of its host fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae. In this report, we assayed the virulence and pathogenicity of MoCV1-A-infected and MoCV1-A-free M. oryzae on rice plants. MoCV1-A infection did not affect virulence-associated fungal traits, such as conidial germination and appressorium formation. However, after punch inoculation of leaves on rice plants, MoCV1-A-infected strain formed smaller lesions than the MoCV1-A-free strain did on all rice varieties tested, showing that MoCV1-A infection resulted in reduced virulence of host fungi in rice plants. In contrast, after spray inoculation of rice seedlings, in some cases, MoCV1-A-infected and MoCV1-A-free strains caused different lesion types (resistance to susceptible, or vice versa) on individual international differential rice varieties. However, we did not find any gain/loss of the fungal avirulence genes by PCR, suggesting that MoCV1-A infection can convert the pathogenicity of the host M. oryzae from avirulence to virulence, or from virulence to avirulence, depending on the rice variety. We also confirmed the correlation of these race conversion events and invasive hyphae growth of the fungi in a leaf sheath inoculation assay. These data suggested that MoCV1-A infection generally confers hypovirulence to the fungal host and could be a driving force to generate physiological diversity, including pathogenic races.  相似文献
