Four Bt cotton hybrids, each with one of four different events, viz., MRC 6301 Bt (cry1Ac gene), JKCH 1947 Bt (modified cry1Ac gene), NCEH 6R Bt (fusion cry1Ac/cry1Ab gene) and MRC 7017 Bollgard II (cry1Ac and cry2Ab genes) were compared for survival and development of Earias vittella (Fabricius) along with their isogenic non-Bt genotypes. None of the neonates were able to complete the larval period and reach pupal stage on squares of 90, 120 and 150 days old crop of all Bt hybrids. Likewise, on bolls also, zero per cent larval survival was observed in all Bt hybrids except JKCH 1947 Bt where 0.67 per cent larvae could manage to reach pre-pupal stage at 120 and 150 days old crop but failed to form cocoon and enter pupal stage. The surviving larva took more development time (3.7 to 5.4 days) as compared to larvae fed on bolls of JKCH 1947 non-Bt. The average survival period (ASP) of larvae was in order of 150 > 120 > 90 days old crop among the crop ages; JKCH 1947 Bt > MRC 6301 Bt > NCEH 6 R Bt > MRC 7017 Bollgard II among Bt hybrids; and bolls > squares between fruiting bodies. However, reverse was true for speed index of toxic effect. The concentration of Cry toxin varied significantly in squares and bolls and also among the crop ages. The amount of Cry toxin in squares and bolls had significant negative correlation with ASP of the E. vittella larvae.  相似文献

The role of the self-sown shrubsDittrichia viscosa (L.) W. Greuter andRubus ulmifolius Schott as reservoirs of aphid parasitoids was investigated. In the field studies conducted,D. viscosa grew adjacent to crops of durum wheat and barley andR. ulmifolius grew adjacent to cotton. The relative abundance of the parasitoids of(a) Capitophorus inulae (Passerini) onD. viscosa, (b) Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus) on durum wheat and barley,(c) Aphis ruborum (Börner) onR. ulmifolius, and(d) Aphis gossypii Glover on cotton in various parts of Greece, was assessed during the years 1996–2000. In 2000, the fluctuation of parasitization of the above four aphid species was recorded and the action of the aphidophagous predators of the family Coccinellidae was studied. It was observed thatAphidius matricariae Haliday predominated onC. inulae andR. padi in all sampling cases. In contrast,Lysiphlebus fabarum (Marshall) was the dominant species parasitizingA. ruborum onR. ulmifolius andA. gossypii on cotton in Thessaly (central Greece) and Macedonia (northern Greece), whereasLysiphlebus confusus Tremblay et Eady andBinodoxys acalephae (Marshall) were the dominant parasitoid species in Thrace (northern Greece).Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus was the most abundant coccinellid species on durum wheat, whereasAdonia variegata (Goeze) predominated on cotton. However, coccinellid individuals were scarce on bothD. viscosa andR. ulmifolius. The present study indicated that these two shrubs can be regarded as useful reservoirs of aphid parasitoids.  相似文献

Verticillium wilt is a devastating disease caused by the soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae that causes severe wilt symptoms in more than 400 plant species, including economically important cotton. However, the molecular mechanism of plant resistance to Verticillium remains unclear. In this study, we identified an Arabidopsis mutant, vsad1 (verticillium sensitive and anthocyanin deficient 1), which showed more serious disease symptoms such as discoloration and chlorosis than wild-type Arabidopsis. vsad1 is a previously identified allele of the transparent testa 4 gene (tt4), which encodes chalcone synthase (CHS), a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of flavonoids. Our results showed that VSAD1 expression was induced in response to Verticillium dahliae infection. Overexpression of VSAD1 partially recovered the anthocyanin accumulation phenotype of the vsad1–1 mutant. The concentration of V. dahliae increased and ROS accumulation decreased in the vsad1 mutant after infection with V. dahliae. Knockdown of the homologous gene GhCHS in cotton plants increased their susceptibility to V. dahliae infection. Thus, we conclude that VSAD1 is involved in the regulation of plant resistance to Verticillium wilt.  相似文献

The ability to control soil-borne pathogens in agriculture is highly conditioned by the restricted use of synthetic pesticides. Allelopathy, the antimicrobial activity of plant extracts, is a promising option against crop pathogens. Extracts from Lycium spp. such as L. barbarum, L. chinense and L. intricatum possess biological and therapeutic properties. Individual methanolic extracts from leaves and stems of the Mediterranean medicinal species L. europaeum collected in two locations of Tunisia were each evaluated in vitro against Verticillium dahliae (Vd), Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Ss) and Harpophora maydis (Hm). The mycelial growth of the three fungi was significantly reduced by all the extracts at doses of 10 and 30 μl mL?1 (equivalent to 1 and 3 mg plant tissue mL?1). The sporulation of Hm was almost completely inhibited in all the amendments, but that of Vd was stimulated by one of the leaf extracts when 1 and 3 mg dried plant tissue mL?1 were used. Sclerotia of Ss were formed in a smaller number, their total weight increasing at extract doses equivalent to 1 mg plant tissue mL?1 and higher. In greenhouse, the pathogenicity of Hm was confirmed as early as 6 weeks after inoculation, since it caused significant decreases of weights in both roots and aboveground parts of maize. The detrimental effect of Hm on maize root weight in greenhouse was significantly counteracted by one of the leaf extracts added by watering. In total, 11 phenolic compounds were separated in the four extracts. The hydroxycinnamic acid family, including chlorogenic acid as a major compound, represented more than 50% of the total content in all the samples. Rutin was the most abundant flavonoid. The results of this work show the detrimental effect of L. europaeum extracts against the soil-borne pathogens Hm, Ss and Vd, and highlight their potential in crop protection if adequately developed into final products and used in combination with other tools.  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

With the aim of selecting potential botanical insecticides, seven plant extracts (Daphne mucronata (Family: Thymelaeaceae), Tagetes minuta (Asteraceae), Calotropis procera (Apocynaceae), Boenninghausenia albiflora (Rutaceae), Eucalyptus sideroxylon (Myrtaceae), Cinnamomum camphora (Lauraceae) and Isodon rugosus (Lamiaceae)) were screened for their toxic effects against four important agricultural pest insects, each representing a separate insect order; pea aphids of Acyrthosiphon pisum (Hemiptera), fruit flies of Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera), red flour beetles of Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera), and armyworms of Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera). Aphids were the most susceptible insect with 100% mortality observed after 24 h for all the plant extracts tested. Further bioassays with lower concentrations of the plant extracts against aphids, revealed the extracts from I. rugosus (LC50 36 ppm and LC90 102 ppm) and D. mucronata (LC50 126 ppm and LC90 198 ppm) to be the most toxic to aphids. These most active plant extracts were further fractionated into different solvent fractions on polarity basis and their insecticidal activity evaluated. While all the fractions showed considerable mortality in aphids, the most active was the butanol fraction from I. rugosus with an LC50 of 18 ppm and LC90 of 48 ppm. Considering that high mortality was observed in aphids within 24 h of exposure to a very low concentration of the butanol fraction from I. rugosus, we believe this could be exploited and further developed as a potential plant-based insecticide against sucking insect pests, such as aphids.  相似文献

In previous research, concentrated metabolites produced by bacteria of the genera Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus (which are symbionts of entomopathogenic nematodes) were reported to be highly suppressive to fungal and oomycete plant pathogens. Conceivably, application of non-concentrated bacterial filtrates would be more economically feasible compared to using concentrated metabolites. We evaluated the potency of 10 % v/v cell-free supernatants of the bacteria X. bovienii, X. nematophila, X. cabanillasii, X. szentirmaii, P. temperata, P. luminescens (VS) and P. luminescens (K22) against Fusicladium carpophilum (peach scab), F. effusum (pecan scab), Monilinia fructicola (brown rot), Glomerella cingulata (anthracnose) and Armillaria tabescens (root rot). A bioactive compound derived from Photorhabdus bacteria, trans-cinnamic acid (TCA), was also compared with the bacterial filtrates. Fungal colony size based on manual measurements was compared for accuracy to measurements taken by image analysis. Supernatants of Xenorhabdus spp. exhibited stronger suppressive effects on spore germination and vegetative growth when compared with Photorhabdus spp. Overall, TCA was the most effective treatment; vegetative growth was completely inhibited by TCA (1.27 mg/ml). TCA treatments also suppressed spore germination of F. carpophylium and F. effussum by approximately 90 %. The efficacy of supernatants varied among Xenorhabdus species depending on the species tested, but X. szentirmaii filtrates tended to cause greater inhibition relative to the other bacteria supernatants. Manual measurement of colony diameter required at least two replicate estimates of the colony to avoid a type II error. Area measurements were slightly overestimated based on ruler measurements, but did not affect the outcome of the analysis. Supernatants of Xenorhabdus spp., Photorhabdus spp., or TCA, did not cause any phytotoxic effects when applied to various plant species in the greenhouse. Our results indicate the potential of using TCA or Xenorhabdus cell free supernatants as bio-fungicides. Such a product, based on bacterial culture supernatants, would be economically viable, marketable and easily applicable by the end-users in many situations.  相似文献

Infection by Pyrenophora teres f. teres (Ptt) or P. teres f. maculata (Ptm), the causal agents of the net and spot forms of net blotch of barley, respectively, can result in significant yield losses. The genetic structure of a collection of 128 Ptt and 92 Ptm isolates from the western Canadian provinces of Alberta (55 Ptt, 27 Ptm), Saskatchewan (58 Ptt, 46 Ptm) and Manitoba (15 Ptt, 19 Ptm) were analyzed by simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker analysis. Thirteen SSR loci were examined and found to be polymorphic within both Ptt and Ptm populations. In total, 110 distinct alleles were identified, with 19 of these shared between Ptt and Ptm, 75 specific to Ptt, and 16 specific to Ptm. Genotypic diversity was relatively high, with a clonal fraction of approximately 10 % within Ptt and Ptm populations. Significant genetic differentiation (PhiPT = 0.230, P = 0.001) was found among all populations; 77 % of genetic variation occurred within populations and 23 % between populations. Lower, but still significant genetic differentiation (PhiPT = 0.038, P = 0.001) was detected in Ptt, with 96 % of genetic variation occurring within populations. No significant genetic differentiation (PhiPT = 0.010, P = 0.177) was observed among Ptm populations. Isolates clustered in two distinct groups conforming to Ptt or Ptm, with no intermediate cluster. The high number of haplotypes observed, combined with an equal mating type ratio for both forms of the fungus, suggests that P. teres goes through regular cycles of sexual recombination in western Canada.  相似文献

Real-Time PCR assay was used to quantify the expression of marker genes of the salicylic acid, jasmonic acid and ethylene signaling pathways in seven Solanum lines after inoculation with a Ralstonia solanacearum phylotype I strain, R008. Four Solanum lycopersicum lines (CRA 66, Hawaii 7996, MST 32/1, Quatre carrées), one S. tuberosum line (Spunta), the wild Lycopersicon cerasiforme and Solanum commersonii were used for this investigation. Results revealed very little activation of the jasmonic acid pathway marker genes, lipoxygenase A (LoxA) and protease inhibitor II (Pin2), with no significant difference (p > 0.05) in fold change expression among the Solanum lines. In contrast the salicylic acid pathway marker genes, glucanase A (GluA) and PR-1a, and the ethylene pathway marker genes, osmotin-like (Osm) and PR-1b, were expressed at higher levels with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in fold change expression among the Solanum lines. The resistant lines L. cerasiforme, CRA 66, Hawaii 7996 and S. commersonii showed stronger activation of the salicylic acid and ethylene marker genes than the moderately resistant cultivar (MST 32/1) and the susceptible lines (Quatre carrées and Spunta). The marker genes reached their highest expression levels earlier (4 h.p.i) in the resistant and moderately resistant lines than in the susceptible lines (48 h.p.i.). These results indicate that salicylic acid and ethylene signaling pathways have a significant role in defense against R. solanacearum. The timing and magnitude of the upregulation of gene expression may determine the plant ability to put up a defense response against the pathogen.  相似文献

Aphelenchoides paraxui n. sp. is described and illustrated from bark samples of an oak tree (Quercus brantii L.) in Kermanshah province, western Iran. The new species is characterized by body length of 500–660 μm (females) and 630–665 μm (males), lip region set off from body contour, lateral fields with four lines, and total stylet 8–9 μm long with small basal swellings. The excretory pore is located ca one body diam. Posterior to metacorpus valve. The spicules are relatively large (29–33 μm in dorsal limb) with apex and rostrum rounded and well developed and the end of the dorsal limb clearly curved ventrad like a hook. The female tail is conical, the terminus having a complicated step-like projection, usually with many tiny nodular protuberances. Male tail bearing six (2 + 2 + 2) caudal papillae and a well-developed mucro. The new species belongs to the Group 2 category of Aphelenchoides species sensu Shahina (1996) in which eight known species among Group 2–4 sensu Shahina namely: A. arcticus, A. asteromucronatus, A. blastophthorus, A. lichenicola, A. saprophilus, A. seiachicus, A. silvester and A. xui, are the most closed species. Molecular analyses of the partial small subunit rDNA gene (SSU), D2/D3 expansion segments of the large subunit rDNA gene (LSU) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) revealed this as a new species and supported the morphological results.  相似文献

A method was developed using a Loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay (LAMP) for detecting Didymella bryoniae in cucurbit seeds. The LAMP primers were designed based on the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II RPB140 gene (RPB2) from D. bryoniae. Calcein was used as an indicator for the endpoint visual detection of DNA amplification. The LAMP assay was conducted in isothermal (65 °C) conditions within 1 h. The detection threshold of the LAMP assay was 10 pg of genomic DNA and D. bryoniae was detected in 100 % of artificially infested seedlots with 0.05 % infestation or greater. With the LAMP assay, 16 of 60 watermelon and muskmelon seedlots collected from Xinjang province were determined to be positive for D. bryoniae. In contrast, a real-time PCR assay determined that 11 of the 60 seedlots from Xinjiang province were positive for the pathogen. These results showed that the LAMP technique was simple, rapid and well suited for detecting D. bryoniae DNA, especially in seed health testing.  相似文献

Effects simultaneous and sequential inoculations of Meloidogyne incognita, Ralstonia solanacearum and Phomopsis vexans were studied on the growth, chlorophyll and carotenoid contents of eggplants grown in 25% fly ash and 25% sand mix soil. Plants grown in 25% fly ash mix soil had lesser plant growth than grown in 25% sand ash mix soil. Inoculation of M. incognita / R. solanacearum or P. vexans caused reduction in plant growth, chlorophyll and carotenoid contents in both types of soils but these pathogens in combination caused a greater reduction in than individual inoculation. Inoculation of M. incognita 20 days prior to R. solanacearum caused a greater reduction in plant growth than inoculation of M. incognita prior to P. vexans. Inoculation of P. vexans prior to R. solanacearum caused a lesser reduction in plant growth, chlorophyll and carotenoid contents than inoculation of P. vexans prior to M. incognita. Inoculation of R. solanacearum 20 days prior to M. incognita caused a greater reduction in plant growth, chlorophyll and carotenoid contents than inoculation of R. solanacearum prior to P. vexans. Galling and multiplication of M. incognita was higher in plants grown in 25% sand amended soil than with 25% fly ash soil. R. solanacearum and P. vexans had adverse effects on galling and nematode multiplication. Wilt and blight indices caused by R. solanacearum and P. vexans were 3 respectively. Wilt and blight indices were 4 when two pathogens were inoculated together.  相似文献

Studies were undertaken on the effects of temperature (14/10 °C and 22/17 °C day/night) and plant age (15, 23, 31 and 40 day-old-plants) on the severity of downy mildew (Hyaloperonospora parasitica) on oilseed Brassica cultivars (temperature: Brassica juncea Montara, B. napus Atomic, ATR-Hyden, Hyola 432, Hyola 450 TT, Thunder TT; plant age: B. juncea Dune, B. napus Surpass 402 and Hyola 450 TT). For temperature studies, there were significant (P?<?0.001) effects of temperature, cultivar, and cultivar x temperature interaction. On cotyledons of susceptible cultivars (B. napus Hyola 450 TT and Thunder TT), plants were symptomatic at 22/17 °C by 48 h post inoculation (hpi) and with abundant sporulation evident by 72 hpi, and with all cotyledons of B. napus Thunder TT collapsed by 7 days post inoculation (dpi). However, at 14/10 °C, there were no symptoms on the same cultivars until 5 dpi, and sporulation only observed at 7 dpi. Percent disease index values (DI%) at 22/17 °C of B. juncea Montara and B. napus ATR-Hyden, Hyola 432, Atomic, Hyola 450 TT and Thunder TT were 4.5, 49.0, 51.4, 65.8, 86.3 and 96.0, respectively, with all except B. juncea Montara having significantly lower (P?<?0.001) disease at 14/10 °C with DI% values of 2.8, 30.4, 27.9, 31.1, 44.4 and 76.4, respectively. For plant age studies, there were significant (P?<?0.001) effects of plant age, cultivar, and cultivar x plant age interaction. DI% was significantly higher at 15 compared to 40 day-old-plants (dop) across all cultivars. B. juncea Dune showed greatest resistance, particularly on 40 dop, with DI% values of 25.8, 24.6, 22.9 and 7.5, for 15, 23, 31 and 40 dop, respectively. B. napus Surpass 402 showed high susceptibility on cotyledons of 15 dop but moderate resistance on leaves of other ages, with DI% values of 59.0, 31.2, 27.1 and 26.2 for 15, 23, 31 and 40 dop, respectively. B. napus Hyola 450 TT showed very high susceptibility at the cotyledon stage on 15 dop, but some resistance on 23 dop and more so on 31 and 40 dop, with DI% values of 84.0, 41.2, 35.4 and 32.9 for 15, 23, 31 and 40 dop, respectively. Together, these findings explain for the first time why development of downy mildew epidemics on susceptible cultivars occurs early in the growing season when warmer seasonal temperatures in autumn coincide with presence of seedlings; in contrast to later in the growing season on less susceptible older plants coinciding with cooler and less favourable winter temperatures. Increasing maximum and minimum temperatures associated with climate change have likely fostered the increased severity of downy mildew over the past 15 years.  相似文献

Ralstonia solanacearum “species complex” (RSSC) represents soil-borne plant pathogenic bacteria, consisting of diverse and widespread strains that cause bacterial wilt on a wide range of host plants. A recent polyphasic taxonomic study has divided the RSSC into three bacterial species; Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum (phylotypes I and III), Ralstonia solanacearum (phylotype II) and Ralstonia syzygii (phylotype IV). Currently, standard identification of RSSC in plant health laboratories mainly relies on performance of two tests that are based on a different principle. However, these tests are inadequate to precisely discriminate among the three bacterial species in the RSSC. The accurate identification of each of the three bacterial species in the RSSC requires additional molecular tests, including a phylotype determination. These methodologies are labor-intensive, time consuming and rather impractical for routine identification purposes in a plant health laboratory. We explored the potential for an accurate identification of R. pseudosolanacearum (phylotypes I and III) and R. solanacearum (phylotype II) in RSSC, upon implementation of the MALDI-TOF MS tool, and after the creation and validation of an in-house database supplementing the commercial database and covering the entire known genetic diversity in RSSC. MALDI-TOF MS is an emerging approach for identification of bacterial plant pathogens and has been shown to be robust and reproducible. Additionally, when compared to the conventional microbial identification methods it is shown to be less laborious and less expensive. Validation data demonstrated that our in-house database (Mass Spectra Profiles, MSPs) was very specific resulting in the rapid and accurate identification of Ralstonia solanacearum (phylotype II), and Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum (phylotypes I and III). Additionally, no false positive results were obtained with our in-house database for other related Ralstonia sp., such as the R. picketii isolate PD 3286, or for the Pseudomonas syringae and Pseudomonas spp. isolates.  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

Phytophthora nicotianae is one of the most important soil-borne plant pathogens. Sporangia and zoospores of P. nicotianae are responsible for primary infection and disease dissemination. The disease caused by P. nicotianae was difficult to control by fungicide. Boron, an essential plant micronutrient, was found to have a direct effect on other pathogens. In this paper, the effects of B on the growth, antioxidant system and gene differential expression of P. nicotianae were tested. The results showed that 0.1 mM B could dramatically decrease the sporangiogenesis and zoosporogenesis of P. nicotianae. Mycelial growth of P. nicotianae was significantly inhibited when the concentration of B reached 8 mM. A high-quality differential expression sequence csn4 was obtained by gene differential expression analysis. Under the treated of B, csn4 expression was inhibited, activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) significantly decreased and the malondialdehyde (MDA) content notably increased compared to control. It is suggested that B could serve as a potential fungicide for the control of plant disease caused by P. nicotianae.  相似文献

Sclerotium rolfsii (Sr), a soil-borne fungal pathogen, causes disease in a wide range of crops. Recently, we identified five actinomycetes (Streptomyces globisporus subsp. globisporus, S. globisporus, S. flavotricini, S. pactum, and S. senoensis) showing significant inhibitory effects on plant pathogens. In this study, the effects of the five actinomycetes for the biocontrol of Sr were investigated using the plate culture method and microscopy examination. Two actinomycetes with higher inhibitory effect were subsequently examined for the inhibition of sclerotial germination of Sr in unsterile soil in vitro. The cell-free cultures of five actinomycetes mediated significant inhibition of hyphal growth and sclerotial formation and germination of Sr. All actinomycete strains exhibited the ability to produce extracellular cell wall degrading enzymes in the culture conditions. The crude enzyme suspensions of S. flavotricini and S. pactum hydrolyzed the cell wall of Sr. At a dose of 1 g per kilogram soil, the solid formulations of S. flavotricini and S. senoensis prevented germination of 24% and 68% of sclerotia, respectively. Our results provide evidence of effective strains for the biocontrol of Sr, in addition to a further understanding of the underlying mechanism.  相似文献

Eucalyptus globulus, a non-native species, is currently the most abundant forest species in Portugal. This economically important forest tree is exploited mainly for the production of pulp for the paper industry. The community of Botryosphaeriaceae species occurring on diseased and healthy E. globulus trees was studied on plantations throughout the country. Nine species from three different genera were identified, namely Botryosphaeria (B. dothidea), Diplodia (D. corticola and D. seriata) and Neofusicoccum (N. australe, N. algeriense, N. eucalyptorum, N. kwambonambiense, N. parvum and Neofusicoccum sp.). Of these, N. algeriense, D. corticola and D. seriata are reported for the first time on E. globulus, while N. algeriense, N. eucalyptorum and N. kwambonambiense correspond to first reports in Portugal. The genus Neofusicoccum was clearly dominant with N. australe and N. eucalyptorum being the most abundant species on both diseased and healthy trees. In artificial inoculation trials representative isolates from all nine species were shown to be pathogenic to E. globulus but there were marked differences in aggressiveness between them. Thus, D. corticola and N. kwambonambiense were the most aggressive while B. dothidea and D. seriata were the least aggressive of the species studied.  相似文献
