ABSTRACT The development of Didymella rabiei on debris of naturally infected chickpea was investigated in four chickpea-growing areas with different climatic conditions in Spain during 1987 to 1992. D. rabiei extensively colonized chickpea debris and formed pseudothecia and pycnidia. Differentiation of pseudothecial initials occurred regularly across experimental locations by November, 1 month after placement of debris on the soil. Ascospore maturation occurred mainly from late January to late March, depending on location and year. Maximum ascospore discharge from sampled debris pieces placed under suitable environmental conditions occurred 2 to 4 weeks after ascospore maturation, after which ascospore release decreased sharply. Pseudothecia were exhausted, due to ascospore discharge, by the beginning of summer. New asci did not develop in empty pseudothecia and no pseudothecia formed in tissues after the first season. Ascospore maturation and liberation in cooler locations were more uniform and occurred later compared to maturation in warmer locations. Also, production of asci and ascospores per pseudothecium was much higher in cooler than in warmer locations. A similar relationship was found for density of pseudothecia and pycnidia and conidia production per pycnidium. The percentage of mature pseudothecia increased according to the logistic model, with the cumulative number of Celsius degree days calculated by computing the mean of the maximum and minimum daily air temperatures on rainy days from the date of debris placement on the soil. There were significant differences among model parameter estimates between cooler and warmer locations, but minor differences were found among parameters for locations with similar environmental conditions. There was an inverse linear relationship between the average temperature during the period of pseudothecia maturation and the number of asci produced per pseudothecium.  相似文献

Didymella rabiei grew saprophytically on pieces of artificially and naturally infected chickpea stem debris under artificial incubation conditions, and formed pseudothecia and pycnidia. The extent of growth was not significantly affected by temperature of incubation within the range 5–25°C, but was significantly reduced as relative humidity (RH) decreased from 100% to 86%, when no growth occurred. Pseudothecia matured at 10°C and constant 100% RH, or at 5 and 10°C and alternating 100%/34% RH. Under these conditions, pseudothecial maturation, assessed by a pseudothecia maturity index, increased over time according to the logistic model. For temperatures higher than 10°C or RH lower than 100%, pseudothecia either did not form ascospores, or ascopores did not mature and their content degenerated. When pseudothecia that initially developed to a given developmental stage were further incubated at a constant 100% RH, temperature became less limiting for complete pseudothecial development as the developmental stage was more advanced. Pycnidia of the fungus developed and formed viable conidia in all environmental conditions studied, except at 86% RH. However, the density of pycnidia formed and the number of viable conidia per pycnidium were significantly influenced by temperature, RH and the type of debris (artificially or naturally infected) used.  相似文献

Various crop and weed species were infected naturally by Didymella rabiei (anamorph: Ascochyta rabiei) in blight-affected chickpea fields in the Palouse region of eastern Washington and northern Idaho, USA. The fungus was isolated from asymptomatic plants of 16 species commonly found in commercial crops in this region. Isolates of the pathogen from crop and weed species were pathogenic to chickpea and indistinguishable in cultural and morphological characteristics from isolates of D. rabiei from chickpea. Both mating types of D. rabiei were isolated from eight naturally infected plant species. Chickpeas were infected by D. rabiei when plants emerged through infested debris of seven crop and weed species. The teleomorph developed on overwintered tissues of seven plant species infected naturally by D. rabiei in a blight screening nursery and on debris of wheat, white sweet clover and pea inoculated with ascospores of D. rabiei or conidia of two compatible isolates of the pathogen. Didymella rabiei naturally infected 31 accessions of 12 Cicer spp. and the teleomorph developed on the overwintered debris of all accessions, including those of three highly resistant perennial species. The fungus developed on the stem and leaf pieces of ten plant species common to southern Spain inoculated with conidia of two compatible isolates of D. rabiei, and formed pseudothecia with asci and viable ascospores on six of ten species and pycnidia with conidia on all plant species.  相似文献

Ascochyta blight caused by Didymella rabiei (anamorph: Ascochyta rabiei) is an important foliar disease of chickpea in many countries. The fungus is heterothallic and requires the pairing of two compatible mating types for the teleomorph to develop. In nature, the teleomorph only develops on chickpea debris that overwinters on the soil surface in the presence of both mating types. When natural and synthetic agar media were seeded with conidial suspensions of compatible isolates of D. rabiei from Spain and the United States and incubated under favourable conditions for teleomorph development, the teleomorph only developed on 2?% water agar amended with powdered chickpea stems or hot water extracts of chickpea stems, but not on 14 other natural or synthetic media. Ascospore isolates of D. rabiei from pseudothecia that developed on agar media were indistinguishable in cultural and morphological characteristics from isolates of the fungus from chickpea. Production of pseudothecia and ascospores on the best culture medium was always lower than on stem pieces of chickpea straw used as a control treatment. Ascospores discharged from pseudothecia that developed on powdered chickpea stem media onto chickpea seedlings were pathogenic, inducing symptoms identical to those caused by ascospores from chickpea stem pieces or conidia from a chickpea isolate of the fungus. This is the first report of the teleomorph of D. rabiei developing on culture media.  相似文献

The incidence and severity of Ascochyta blight in potted chickpea trap plants exposed for 1-wk periods near infested chickpea debris in Córdoba, Spain, or in chickpea trap crops at least 100 m from infested chickpea debris in several locations in southern Spain were correlated with pseudothecial maturity and ascospore production ofDidymella rabiei from nearby chickpea debris. The period of ascospore availability varied from January to May and depended on rain and maturity of pseudothecia. The airborne concentration of ascospores ofD. rabiei was also monitored in 1988. Ascospores were trapped mostly from the beginning of January to late February; this period coincided with that of maturity of pseudothecia on the chickpea debris. Most ascospores were trapped on rainy days during daylight and 70% were trapped between 12.00 and 18.00 h. Autumn-winter sowings of chickpea were exposed longer to ascospore inoculum than the more traditional spring sowings because the autumn-winter sowings were exposed to the entire period of ascospore production on infested chickpea debris lying on the soil surface.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Temperature and wetness conditions required for development and maturation of Didymella rabiei pseudothecia were determined in a series of experiments conducted in controlled-environmental conditions. Initial stages of pseudothecium formation occurred at temperatures ranging from 5 to 15 degrees C. Incubation at low temperatures was essential for subsequent pseudothecium maturation. This requirement was satisfied for chickpea stem segments incubated at 5 or 10 degrees C for three consecutive weeks or during periods of 3 or 5 days, separated by periods at higher temperatures. Following the low-temperature requirement, subsequent pseudothecium development was independent of temperature in the range tested (5 to 20 degrees C). Wetness was essential for pseudothecium production: pseudothecia formed and matured on stem segments maintained continuously wet but also on those exposed to periods of three or five wet days, separated by dry periods. The dispersal of D. rabiei ascospores was studied using chickpea plants as living traps in the field. Trap plants were infected mainly when exposed during rain but also in rainless periods. Results of this study enabled us to describe the developmental events leading to the production of the teleomorph stage and the dispersal of ascospores by D. rabiei in the Mediterranean climate of Israel.  相似文献

Didymella rabiei development was investigated on naturally blight-infested debris in six Tunisian locations during two consecutive seasons. Pseudothecia initiated their development 2 months after their incubation on the soil surface. They reached their maturity earlier in the locations of Korba, Beja, Bizerte and Bousalem (March–April) than in Morneg and Tunis (June). After ascospore discharge, new asci and ascospores did not develop in empty pseudothecia, and the fungus survived during the second season by forming pycnidia. Pseudothecia maturity index (PMI) was determined based on internal developmental stages and a logistic model was proposed to establish an eventual correlation between PMI and Celsius degree days (CDD) cumulated over time during rainy days (for rain ≥1 mm). Results showed that PMI increased significantly over cumulative number of CDD in the six locations. In Korba, Beja, Bizerte and Bousalem locations, maximum rate of pseudothecia maturity occurred during an acceleration phase between 150 and 350 cumulated CDD during which pseudothecia reached the mature stage. The maturity rate of pseudothecia in Morneg and Tunis locations was slower as compared to the latter four locations and mature pseudothecia were observed at 450–500 cumulated CDD. The onset of pseudothecial maturity was also estimated by applying a pre-established model previously developed for Ascochyta disease management. Based on this model, which considers a combination of daily mean temperature and daily total rainfall, the number of suitable events required for pseudothecial maturity was determined at each location.  相似文献

Pseudothecia of Pleospora allii developed best on garlic leaf debris infected by Stemphylium vesicarium incubated at low temperature (5–10°C) and relative humidity (RH) close to saturation. RH of less than 96% prevented the formation of pseudothecia, while an incubation temperature of 15–20°C led to the early degeneration of pseudothecia. Under natural conditions, colonization by pseudothecia of unburied garlic leaf debris varied between seasons from 6.0 to 15.5 pseudothecia/mm2, whereas lower colonization levels were recorded when samples were buried. Pseudothecial maturity was reached 1–4mo after the deposition of garlic debris on the soil surface and 15 days after the burial of residues. In the later case, pseudothecia degenerated with degradation of the plant debris. Ascospore release, which required rainfall or dew periods, occurred between late January and late April depending upon the year. A high correlation was found between pseudothecia maturation and four meteorological variables. Two of which, i.e. the number of hours with RH98% and with a mean temperature of 4.5–10.5°C, and the accumulated rainfall, explained most variability (adjusted R2=0.82–0.98 depending upon the year). A multiple regression equation relating the pseudothecia maturity index with these two variables could be used to forecast the epidemic onset of Stemphylium leaf spots in Southern Spain. Temporal progress of pseudothecia maturation was best fitted by a monomolecular model.  相似文献

The disease septoria tritici blotch of wheat is initiated by ascospores of the teleomorph Mycosphaerella graminicola or pycnidiospores of the anamorph Septoria tritici. We report for the first time the presence of the teleomorph, M. graminicola, in Denmark. With the objective of elucidating the importance of the teleomorph for the development of septoria tritici blotch, data on the occurrence of fruit bodies of the anamorph (pycnidia) and the teleomorph (pseudothecia) stages were collected over three growing seasons. Pseudothecia were present in the springs, however, high numbers of pseudothecia compared to pycnidia were not observed until July, too late to influence the epidemic. On an individual leaf layer, pycnidia were observed well before pseudothecia. As the leaves aged, progressively higher proportions of fruit bodies were observed to be pseudothecia. The period from the appearance of pycnidia to detection of pseudothecia was estimated as 29–53 days. At harvest, high proportions of sporulating fruit bodies in the crop were pseudothecia, suggesting that the primary source of inoculum for new emerging wheat crops in autumn is likely to be ascospores.  相似文献

Microsclerotia of Verticillium dahliae are produced in large numbers on senescing parts of host plants and remain viable in the soil for many years. Changes in the population density, i.e. density of microsclerotia, in the soil were measured in micro-plots using two isolates of V. dahtiae , specific to either field bean or potato, several crop sequences comprising potato, field beans and barley, and either the removal of aerial debris of the crops or incorporation into soil.
Potato was more susceptible to the potato isolate and field bean more susceptible to the field bean isolate. Removal of debris of potato and field bean reduced numbers of microsclerotia in the soil in the subsequent years, but removal of barley straw had no effect. Initially non-infested control micro-plots became infested, probably by the growth of potato roots into the naturally infested subsoil. The rate of increase of the microsclerotial population in the non-infested control micro-plots was larger than in the initially infested treatments, because more colonized debris was produced. It is concluded that removal of aerial debris of host crops is important to reduce the soil population of V. dahtiae.  相似文献

Soils from anthracnose-infected lettuce fields at Keilor, Werribee South and La Trobe University caused lesions of Microdochium panattonianum to develop when inoculated on to lettuce leaves. Under field conditions conidia lost infectivity within 10 weeks in pasteurized and 6 weeks in non-pasteurized Werribee South soil, 2 weeks in Keilor red and immediately in Keilor black non-pasteurized soils. Soils remained infective for 18 weeks in non-pasteurized and pasteurized Werribee South soils inoculated with conidia and for Hand 16 weeks respectively when the same soils were inoculated with infected leaf discs.
In 1983 and 1984 M. panattonianum survived for 14 and 16 weeks respectively on infected Cos Verdi debris on the soil surface, for 10 and 20 weeks respectively on debris buried at 10 cm depth and for 70 and 58 weeks respectively on debris suspended in the air. The fungus survived for similar periods on infected Winterlake debris on the soil surface and buried at 10 cm depth. In soil the decline of infectivity was primarily influenced by duration of exposure and soil moisture, and in debris by duration of exposure and rainfall that occurred over the 2 weeks preceding each sample. The disease was not transmitted on seed produced on infected plants. Seedlings grown from healthy seed inoculated with conidia did not develop anthracnose after the seed had been stored for 24 days at 5 or 20°C. The significance of these results to the management of lettuce anthracnose in Victoria is discussed.  相似文献

Bacterial canker, caused by Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis, is one of the most important diseases of tomato worldwide. Once the pathogen has been introduced into an area, i.e. by contaminated seeds or transplants, it survives mainly on host debris. In different geographic areas the survival time of the pathogen in crop residues under field conditions has been very variable, ranging from 2 months in Morocco to 2 years in Iowa (USA). This study took place in the horticultural belt of Buenos Aires – La Plata, Argentina, where greenhouse production prevails, and monoculture with two production cycles per year is a common practice. The aim was to determine the survival time of this pathogen in plant residues left on the soil surface or buried. During three consecutive years, by the end of both production cycles in July (winter) and December (summer), above‐ (stem, petiole) and belowground (root) tissues were placed into nylon netting bags and left on the soil surface or buried at 10 cm depth. The pathogen population was regularly quantified by dilution plating on semiselective medium. In host debris left on the soil surface, bacteria survived 120–260 days for crop production cycles that ended in winter and 45–75 days for those that ended in summer. In stems or roots buried in winter, this period was 45–75 days. It is concluded that host debris, including roots, might be an important primary inoculum source of the pathogen in greenhouses.  相似文献

An epidemic ofAlternaria macrospore in cotton started 1 month earlier, and developed faster in plots contaminated withA. macrospora-infected cotton debris than in debris-free plots. Overwintering of the pathogen in debris was associated with survival of the debris itself. With the exception of debris in dry soil, overwintering was better in debris located on the soil surface than in that buried beneath the surface. Under all conditions it was better in dry than in wet soil and in sterilized than in unsterilized soil. Survival was associated with micTobial activity in the soil, was highest in pure sand and decreased progressively in sandy loam, heavy soil and peat. The survival in debris was highest in soil kept at 10°C and decreased progressively at 20, 30 and 40°C. Increasing the soil moisture content reduced survival. Overwintering was better in a cotton field that was not cropped during the winter than in a field sown with wheat between the cotton seasons. The rate of transfer of disease to seedlings from debris buried in soil was low except when debris was in contact with the seed. The main means of disease transfer was by airborne spores produced on debris located on the soil surface. These spores had low infectivity and caused few lesions, but the second generation of spores formed on these lesions was highly infectious.  相似文献

Survival of Fusarium circinatum in colonized pine needles and wood pieces was measured. Naturally colonized branches and their needles were cut into small pieces and placed in mesh bags on the soil surface at two locations in northern Spain. Pieces were recovered periodically, cultured on a selective medium, and microscopically examined to identify the species. After 507 days, F. circinatum was recovered from 0 to 27% of the wood pieces and from none of the needles. After 858 days, F. circinatum was not recovered from any wood pieces but was found to be present on 1 out of 220 needle pieces analysed. Artificially infested pieces of wood and needles were placed on 5‐mm sieved soil either in plastic boxes at controlled temperature or in mesh bags under field conditions. No survival was recorded after 794 days under field conditions and the decline over time occurred more rapidly in inoculated pieces under field conditions. Soil was also infested with conidia of F. circinatum and survival was estimated. No conidia were recovered after 224 days at 30 °C, although at 20 and 5 °C the respective populations were 20 and 3700 cfu/g soil. Fusarium circinatum was not recovered from 2‐mm‐sieved soil collected under pitch canker‐infected pines. Results indicate that branch segments and needles naturally colonized by F. circinatum will not be a potential source of inoculum, and the fungus in soil is not likely to contribute to reinfection of new plantations after 2 years.  相似文献

The pattern of development of pycnidia and perithecia of Mycosphaerella pinodes was studied in the glasshouse on pea plants (cv. Solara) sprayed with a pycnospore suspension and in field plots inoculated with barley grains colonized by the fungus. The numbers of pycnidia and perithecia were estimated on each stipule and internode of infected plants, and were related to ratings of disease severity (0–5 scale). Pycnidia were produced on both green and senescent organs, whereas perithecia only appeared on senescent organs. The development and quantity of pycnidia were related to initial inoculum concentration and the physiological stage of the plants. The formation of fruiting bodies progressed from the bottoms to the tops of plants during crop development. Spore trapping showed that both pycnospore dispersal and ascospore discharge were initiated by rainfall or dew. Pycnospores were principally trapped in the first 20 cm above the soil surface while ascospores were also trapped above the crop canopy. Pycnospores and ascospores were dispersed throughout the growing season, suggesting that ascospores also play an important role in secondary infections.  相似文献

Leptosphaeria maculans , the causal agent of phoma stem canker on oilseed rape, is an important pathogen in oilseed rape growing regions of the world, including Australia. Survival of L. maculans and associated mycobiota on oilseed rape stubble buried for 13 months in field soil and in sandy soil was studied under South Australian environmental conditions. Stubble weight decreased significantly by the end of the burial period, more so in field (53·7%) than in sandy soil (22%). Pseudothecia did not develop on stubble buried in field soil and few formed when buried in sandy soil. Moist incubation of stubble following retrieval from both media generated pseudothecia; however, pseudothecial development ceased on stubble that had been buried for 10 and 12 months in field and sandy soil, respectively. In total, 20 and 36 genera of fungi were isolated from stubble before and after burial, respectively. Alternaria spp., L. maculans and Stemphylium botryosum were isolated from 81·7, 70 and 60% of stubble pieces before burial, respectively. Isolation frequency of these species decreased significantly throughout the burial period in both media. Conversely, isolation frequency of Stachybotrys chartarum , Fusarium spp. and Trichoderma spp., having pre-burial frequencies of 26·7, 16·7 and 2·5%, respectively, increased over the burial period regardless of soil type. These findings suggest that inoculum production of L. maculans decreases with the increasing burial duration in field soil over 10 months, before ceasing, and this may be due to associated mycobiota.  相似文献

Because epidemics of successive cropping seasons are not independent, epidemiological studies need to encompass the processes occurring during the transmission of epidemics from one season to the next. With Leptosphaeria maculans, infected stubble allows carry‐over of the fungus. Generation experiments using recurrent selection on field plots are a useful means of comparing the effects of selection pressures. However, the full life cycle of the fungus, from plant infection to the next generation of ascospores, has not yet been achieved under controlled conditions. Studies were undertaken to achieve an experimental set‐up with sexual reproduction under controlled conditions. Cankered oilseed rape stems were produced under controlled conditions, after inoculation with a mixture of 12 isolates across both mating types. Stems were cut longitudinally and attached to styropore plates. Stem halves were incubated outside or in climate chambers regularly soaked in tap water to ensure maturation. Incubation was stopped when mature pseudothecia were observed. In all three independent experiments, more stem halves had pseudothecia when incubated under controlled conditions (30–100%) than incubated outside (0–80%). To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study achieving the full life cycle of the fungus under controlled conditions, from infection of the plant to mature pseudothecia. This opens up the prospect of running experiments year‐round to better understand inoculum production, to compare fungal fitness, or to run generation experiments with exotic pathogen populations.  相似文献

The survival and half-life of Clavibacter michiganensis ssp. michiganensis ( C. michiganensis ), the causal agent of bacterial canker of tomato, were determined in infected plant debris under natural field conditions in California, Ohio and Morocco using a semiselective agar medium. The organism survived significantly longer in tomato stems left on the soil surface than in stems buried in the soil at all locations studied. The pathogen was recovered in high amounts from tomato stems left on the soil surface for 314 days in Ohio and California, USA, and for 194 and 132 days in Melk Zhar and Aït Melloul, Morocco, respectively; it was recovered from stems buried in the soil for up to 314 days in Ohio, up to 240 days in California, and up to 60 days in Aït Melloul and Melk Zhar. The half-life of the pathogen in stems left on the soil surface ranged from 23·2 to 24·8 days in the USA, and from 7·8 to 12·3 days in Morocco, whereas the half-life in buried stems ranged from 14·0 to 16·7 days in the USA and from 3·7 to 9·5 days in Morocco. Based on the half-life data, the predicted survival times of C. michiganensis in stems on the soil surface in Ohio, California, Melk Zhar and Aït Melloul would be up to 822, 770, 424 and 261 days, respectively, while the predicted survival times in stems buried in the soil would be 541, 497, 305 and 128 days, respectively. These results show that the survival and half-life of C. michiganensis in plant debris are relatively long and are influenced by both tissue exposure and geographic location.  相似文献

ABSTRACT A simple model has been developed to predict the onset of pseudothecia maturity and seasonal ascospore showers in relation to blackleg disease in canola, caused by the fungus Leptosphaeria maculans. The model considers a combination of two weather factors, daily mean temperature and daily total rainfall, to drive progress of maturity of pseudothecia on the infested canola stubble left from past crops. Each day is categorized as suitable or not suitable for progress of the maturation process. The onset of pseudothecia maturity occurs when approximately 43 suitable days have occurred. Following the onset of maturity, ascospore showers are triggered when daily rainfall exceeds a threshold. The model satisfactorily predicted the timing of the onset of pseudothecia maturity when tested with 3 years of field observations at four locations in Western Australia, which characteristically has a Mediterranean climate. The model also agreed reasonably well with the daily pattern of ascospore release observed in two locations. Sensitivity analysis was performed to show the relative importance of the parameters that describe the onset of pseudothecia maturity.  相似文献

Carry-over of inoculum of X.c. pv. campestris in the soil from one cropping season to the next was studied in field experiments over three years. These studies were supported by laboratory and greenhouse experiments on quantitative assessment of bacteria by bioassay using the Most Probable Number technique, and on recovery rates of bacteria from the soil. The mean recovery rate from artificially infested soil was 58%. Extinction of X.c. pv. campestris in soil infested with infected plant debris proceeded exponentially and extinction rates depended on temperature, as did the decomposition of plant debris. In replicated field plots, over three years, infection foci of black rot disease were established. At harvest time, all plants were chopped and resulting plant debris was rotovated into the soil. The resulting soil infestation was sampled and showed clear infestation foci reflecting the original infection foci of the crop. These infestation foci decreased with time and disappeared after the winter. Follow-up crops remained virtually uninfected. The results show that in The Netherlands good crop and soil management impedes survival of inoculum from one year to the next, so that cabbage can be grown continuously. Polyetic carry-over of inoculum by debris in the soil can be avoided in The Netherlands.  相似文献
