Bacterial wilt incidence was reduced by 38.1% and 100% in silicon-treated plants of the moderately resistant tomato genotype King Kong 2 and the resistant genotype Hawaii 7998 grown in peat substrate. At 5 days post inoculation the bacterial population was significantly reduced in stems and roots of genotype Hawaii 7998, and in stems of King Kong 2 in silicon-treated plants compared to non-treated plants, indicating a silicon-induced resistance, since silicon accumulated in roots, but not in stems, while a tolerance effect was observed in the susceptible genotype L390. Characterization of possible molecular mechanisms involved in silicon-mediated resistance by immuno-histochemical analysis of stem cell walls indicated silicon-induced changes in the pectic polysaccharide structure. After infection homogalacturonan with non-blockwise degradation of methyl-esters was increased in vessel walls in non-silicon-treated plants, but not in silicon-treated plants, possibly indicating the action of pathogen pectinmethylesterase. Also the staining of vessel walls for arabinogalactan-protein in infected, non-silicon-treated plants was not observed in silicon-treated plants. In inoculated, silicon-treated plants, staining for arabinan side chains of rhamnogalacturonan I (RG I) was increased in some vessel walls, and fluorescence of antibodies for galactan side chains of RG I overall increased in the xylem parenchyma compared to non-silicon-amended plants. These observations suggest an induced basal resistance on cell wall level after silicon treatment, while the yellow or brown autofluorescence occurring in inoculated, non-silicon-treated plants disappeared.  相似文献

The composition and structure of pectic cell wall polysaccharides of stem sections were investigated in healthy and Ralstonia solanacearum-inoculated tomato genotypes L390 and Hawaii 7996, susceptible and resistant to bacterial wilt, respectively, by immunohistochemical analysis. Constitutive differences between genotypes manifested in methyl-ester distribution of homogalacturonan (HG), arabinan and galactan side chain composition of rhamnogalacturonan I (RG I) and arabinogalactan-protein (AGP) in the xylem parenchyma and in vessel cell walls. After inoculation increased labeling was observed with all the antibodies (JIM5, JIM7, LM2, LM5, LM6, LM7) specific for HG, RG I and AGP epitopes, in the xylem parenchyma and around xylem vessels of stem sections of L390, but not of Hawaii 7996. Also vessel cell walls were stronger stained after inoculation in L390, particularly for the non-blockwise de-esterification of HG, possibly indicating for the first time the non-blockwise action pattern of bacterial pectin methyl esterase. In genotype Hawaii 7996 a reaction to inoculation was observed only in vessel walls, with a significantly increased number of stained vessels—five- and nine-fold for arabinan and galactan epitopes of RG I, respectively. Differences in xylem cell wall structure may play a role as a constitutive resistance mechanism in the multigenic resistance of tomato against bacterial wilt, while changes after inoculation may contribute to induced basal resistance on cell wall level.  相似文献

Healthy and Ralstonia solanacearum-inoculated tomato genotypes susceptible or resistant to bacterial wilt including recombinant inbred lines (RILs) deriving from a cross between the resistant genotype Hawaii7996 and the susceptible Wva700 were compared for symptom and bacterial population development, and for the composition and structure of pectic polysaccharides and arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) of xylem cell walls by immunological staining of tissue prints. Constitutive differences were observed between resistant and susceptible RILs, with a higher degree of methyl-esterification of homogalacturonan (HG) detected by antibody JIM7 in the resistant plants. After inoculation, decreased methyl-esterification of HG indicated by stronger labeling with antibody JIM5 was observed in all susceptible genotypes and in five of eleven resistant genotypes, with a clear increase in the non-blockwise de-esterification pattern of HG (LM7) only in the susceptible lines, indicating the mode of action of the pectinmethylesterase of R. solanacearum. In the susceptible lines infection generally leads to increased branching of rhamnogalacturonan I indicated by the detection of arabinan (LM6) and galactan (LM5) side chains, and of arabinogalactan protein (LM2), while only few of the resistant genotypes reacted with changes in these epitopes. All the resistant, symptomless genotypes contained relatively high pathogen populations in stems. A clear relation between cell wall composition and degree of latent infection of resistant genotypes was not found.  相似文献

The distribution and multiplication of Ralstonia solanacearum in tomato plants of 11 resistant cultivars derived from different genetic sources and susceptible cultivar Ponderosa were examined. Bacterial multiplication in stems of resistant tomato plants was suppressed owing to the limitation of pathogen movement from the protoxylem or the primary xylem to other xylem tissues. The limitation was most conspicuous in Hawaii 7996. Grafting experiments indicated that the percentage of wilting of Ponderosa scions was less on Hawaii 7996 rootstocks than that on the most resistant rootstock (LS-89) used in Japan. Hawaii 7996 could be an alternative genetic source for breeding for resistance to bacterial wilt.  相似文献

Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the most devastating bacterial diseases of plants worldwide. Management of bacterial wilt in tomato and other crops has been difficult, and so novel but easily implemented control methods are being sought. To evaluate the effect of cold-water irrigation on bacterial wilt of tomato, four treatments were used in which CF (chemically fertilized) soil and CF + FYM (chemical fertilizer + farmyard manure [FYM]) soil were inoculated with a bacterial suspension (R. solanacearum strain YU1Rif43) at 106 colony forming units (CFU) g?1 soil. Tomato seedlings were grown in Agri-pots in a plant growth chamber. The soil was irrigated with water that was kept at the same temperature in each treatment: 4, 10, 20, or 30°C. Incidence and severity of wilt, counting of the colonies of the culturable population of pathogen, and dry-mass and height of the plants were examined. After 45 days and in both kinds of soil, most of the plants had wilted in soil irrigated at 30°C. Wilt incidence was substantially reduced when transplanted seedlings were irrigated at lower temperatures (4–20°C). Survival of R. solanacearum was also reduced after being irrigated with water at lower temperatures, indicating that the reduced incidence of wilt was linked to reduced survival of the pathogen. Dry-mass and plant height were slightly higher under control conditions than in soils irrigated at lower temperatures. This study suggests that cold-water irrigation could significantly reduce bacterial wilt of tomato and have an adverse effect on survival of the wilt pathogen.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Until recently, tomato race 1 (T1) of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria was the only race causing bacterial spot of tomato in Florida. In 1991, tomato race 3 (T3) was first identified in 3 of 13 tomato production fields surveyed. By 1994, T3 was observed in 21 of 28 fields and was the only race identified in 14 fields. In field studies, tomato genotypes with resistance to either T1 or T3 or susceptibility to both were co-inoculated with strains of both races. Lesions on 10 plants in each of three replications for each genotype were sampled three times during the experiment; bacterial isolations were made from each lesion, and tomato race identifications were made for each strain. At the third sampling date, T3 was isolated from 97% of the lesions on the susceptible genotype Walter and the T1-resistant genotype Hawaii 7998, while T3 was isolated from 23% of the lesions and T1 from the remaining 77% on the T3-resistant genotypes PI 128216 and PI 126932. In surface population studies done in growth rooms, suspensions of T1 and T3 were applied alone and in combination to the leaf surfaces of susceptible and resistant genotypes. T1 populations were reduced more than 10-fold when applied in combination with T3, compared with populations that developed when T1 was applied alone. T3 populations were not affected when applied in combination with a T1 strain. In greenhouse studies with the T3-resistant genotype Hawaii 7981, disease was significantly reduced in plants inoculated with T3 in combination with T1, compared with plants inoculated with T1 alone. These results clearly demonstrate the competitive nature of T3 in the presence of T1 and help explain the emergence of T3 as a prevalent race in Florida.  相似文献

In this study, we investigated the ability of DL-3-aminobutyric acid (BABA) to protect tomato against bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum. This was combined with studies of accumulation of total phenolic compounds, free and total salicylic acid (SA), and activity of enzymes related to plant defence, i.e., polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and catalase (CAT). Under greenhouse conditions, tomato plants pre-treated by soil drenching with BABA profoundly reduced disease severity of bacterial wilt compared to plants receiving a soil drench with water. Thus, BABA reduced leaf wilting index by 75.3 % and vascular browning index by 69.9 %, without any in vitro inhibitory activity on the pathogen. BABA treatment significantly reduced the population of R. solanacearum in stems of tomato plants and additionally also significantly increased both fresh and dry weight of roots and shoots of tomato plants compared with the inoculated control. Application of BABA resulted in a high increase in PPO activity both in plants with and without inoculation. Compared to water-treated plants, treatment with BABA also induced a significant increase of total phenolic compounds as well as of free and total SA in leaves of both inoculated and non-inoculated tomato plants at all sampling times. CAT activity decreased in tomato plants treated with BABA in comparison with the water-treated control plants and the decrease in activity correlated with an increasing total SA accumulation. These findings suggest that BABA treatment resulted in induction of resistance to bacterial wilt in tomato.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Locations of silicon accumulation in rice leaves and its possible association with resistance to rice blast were investigated by electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis. A blast-susceptible cultivar, Jinmi, and a partially resistant cultivar, Hwaseong, were grown under a hydroponic culture system with modified Yoshida's nutrient solution containing 0, 50, 100, and 200 ppm of silicon. Electron-dense silicon layers were frequently found beneath the cuticle in epidermal cell walls of silicon-treated plants. Increasing levels of silicon were detected in the outer regions of epidermal cell walls. Silicon was present mainly in epidermal cell walls, middle lamellae, and intercellular spaces within subepidermal tissues. Furthermore, silicon was prevalent throughout the leaf surface, with relatively small deposition on stomatal guard cells in silicon-treated plants. Silicon accumulation and epidermal cell wall thickness in leaves were greater in cv. Jinmi than in cv. Hwaseong. However, the thickness ratios of the silicon layers to epidermal cell walls were greater in cv. Hwaseong (53.25 to 93.28%) than in cv. Jinmi (36.58 to 66.54%). Leaf blast severity was lower in cv. Hwaseong than in cv. Jinmi and was significantly reduced in silicon-treated plants of both cultivars. These results suggest that silicon-induced cell wall fortification of rice leaves may be closely associated with enhanced host resistance to blast.  相似文献

Ralstonia solanacearum is the causal organism of bacterial wilt of more than 200 species representing 50 families of plants in tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate regions in the world. Traditionally classified into five races based on differences in host range, R. solanacearum has also been grouped into six biovars on the basis of biochemical properties. With recent developments in molecular biology, various DNA-based analyses have been introduced and used to confirm that this binary system does not completely represent the diversity within R. solanacearum strains. Therefore, a new hierarchical classification scheme has been suggested, which defines R. solanacearum as a species complex and reorganized the concept of the species as a monophyletic cluster according to a phylogenetic analysis based on genomic sequence data. Here we discuss the current bacterial wilt situation and genetic relationships based on the recent classification system of Japanese R. solanacearum strains as well as worldwide strains. We also review the genetic, biochemical, and pathological characteristics of R. solanacearum strains, in particular, those affecting potato and Zingiberaceae plants as distinctly important pathogens in relation to continuously problematic and recent emergent diseases in Japan.  相似文献

Ralstonia solanacearum, which consists of five races/biovars, is considered a “species-complex” and is an important phytopathogen that causes wilt disease in more than 200 plant species. R. solanacearum race 1 biovar 4 (R1bv4) has caused yield losses of 30–80 % in the vegetable sweet potato (VSP) in the last decade in Taiwan. To identify the source of the initial inoculum of R1bv4 in VSP fields, soil and cuttings from these fields were examined from 2009 to 2010. The results of the investigation indicated that the population of R1bv4 was generally distributed throughout the natural soil of VSP fields at a density ranging from 1.3?×?102 to 9.5?×?105 cfu/g soil; however, the incidence of bacterial wilt was not significantly associated with the density of the R1bv4 population in soils (R2?=?0.084). In contrast, densities of R1bv4 ranging from 2.3?×?103 to 5.9?×?105 cfu/g tissue were detected in the vine tissue of asymptomatic plants in the fields. Additional experiments demonstrated that R1bv4-free VSP cuttings without visible symptoms planted in infested soils in the greenhouse setting could carry approximately 3.1?×?105 R1bv4 cfu/g tissue, which suggests the existence of a latent period for R1bv4 in VSP plants. The results of a BIO-PCR analysis showed that R1bv4 was detected in 2.0 to 98.0 % of the VSP cuttings used for propagation in fields; in addition, the percentage of VSP cuttings carrying R1bv4 and the incidence of bacterial wilt in fields were positively correlated (R2?=?0.909). The inoculation experiments conducted in greenhouses and in fields showed that the cutting inoculum (CI) contributed more to the incidence of bacterial wilt in VSP plants than the soil inoculum (SI). In the field experiments conducted in 2010, an incidence of disease of 27.1 to 38.5 % was detected in healthy field cuttings 8 months after transplantation; in contrast, the incidence of disease in field cuttings carrying R1bv4 was 49.0 to 68.8 %. The incidence of disease was significantly lower in healthy cuttings than in cuttings carrying R1bv4 (p?=?0.05).  相似文献

Ralstonia solanacearum, the causal agent of bacterial wilt of tomato, grows in infected plants and migrates from the roots into the soil. We investigated the effectiveness of bacterial wilt-resistant tomato rootstock in reducing the migration of R. solanacearum from susceptible scions into the soil. Rootstock stems were either 3–5 cm tall (low-grafted, LG) or ≥?10 cm tall (high-grafted, HG). After inoculation of scions of the susceptible cultivar (SC) with R. solanacearum below the first flower, there was no difference in disease progression among LG, HG, and ungrafted SC plants, and plants had wilted by 2 weeks. However, the rate of detection of R. solanacearum in the soil of wilted plants was reduced by grafting. The size of the R. solanacearum population in the soil of fully wilted plants increased in the order of HG?<?LG?<?SC. These results show that grafting onto resistant rootstock strongly suppressed the migration of R. solanacearum into the soil by the time of full wilting, and the effect was stronger with a longer rootstock. Migration of R. solanacearum into soil increased with increasing disease severity in SC, LG and HG. These facts suggest that early uprooting of slightly infected plants could control the spread of the bacteria into the soil.  相似文献

Bacterial wilt (BW), caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, is one of the most destructive bacterial diseases of Solanaceous species worldwide. The species infects plants in more than 200 species and 50 families and was ranked second in a list of the top 10 most scientifically and economically important bacterial plant pathogens [1]. The molecular mechanisms underlying resistance and the functions of R. solanacearum effectors are beginning to be uncovered, and much remains to be discovered. In this mini-review, we provide a summary of host resistance and R. solanacearum virulence mechanisms, with a focus on tomato.  相似文献

Bacterial wilt, caused by the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC), is a destructive plant disease in Guangxi, China. However, the diversity of RSSC populations in the area is unknown. To this end, we performed an extensive bacterial wilt survey from 2015 to 2018. Using phylotype-specific multiplex PCR (Pmx-PCR) and an egl-based tree, 189 strains collected from 20 plant species were identified as R. pseudosolanacearum phylotype I, which included 14 sequevars (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 30, 34, 44, 48, 54, 70, and 71); two strains isolated from potato plants belonged to R. solanacearum phylotype II, sequevar 1. Sequevars 13, 17, and 44 were prevalent in Guangxi, and sequevar 13 dominated the RSSC sequevars of four Cucurbitaceae plants. The susceptibility of different Cucurbitaceae species to bacterial wilt and the host range of 16 representative strains were further tested. Members of the Cucurbita, Momordica, and Luffa genera were susceptible to bacterial wilt, with wilt incidence ranging from 73% to 100%. Most strains were pathogenic to solanaceous plants, mulberry, and ginger plants but not to melon crops; however, the strains from kidney bean, pepper, and Cucurbitaceae plants were highly virulent to melon crops. This is the first comprehensive report on the genetic and host range diversity of the RSSC in Guangxi and the susceptibility of different Cucurbitaceae species to bacterial wilt, which can provide valuable information for the development of bacterial wilt control strategies.  相似文献

Ralstonia solanacearum causes a lethal bacterial wilt disease in many plants by colonizing the vascular tissues of the hosts. Upon inoculation of tomato seedlings through either leaf or root, the wilting symptoms occur first at the apical region and then proceed downward along the shoot. The systemic order of the disease initiation and progression in the host, independent of the site of pathogen inoculation, is yet to be investigated. To understand the disease progression more clearly, we have carried out a systematic study of the pathogen localization by GUS staining of inoculated tomato seedlings, at 24-hour intervals from 0 days post-inoculation (dpi) to 5 dpi. In both inoculation methods, pathogen colonization was observed at 1 dpi at the apical meristem as well as the cotyledon leaves, where the disease initiates. As the disease progressed, colonization by the pathogen towards the lower region of the shoot was observed. Disease consistency and pathogenicity magnitude were observed to be higher using the leaf inoculation method than the root inoculation method. Several R. solanacearum transposon-induced mutants that were reduced in virulence by root inoculation but virulent by leaf inoculation were obtained. Using GUS staining, it was observed that these mutants were unable to localize in the shoot region when inoculated in the root. Our study indicates that the apical meristem and the cotyledon leaves are the first regions to be colonized in inoculated tomato seedlings, which might explain the disease initiation from this region.  相似文献

Bacterial wilt is a serious problem affecting many important food crops. Recent studies have indicated that treatment with biotic or abiotic stress factors may increase the resistance of plants to bacterial infection. This study investigated the effects of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NP) on disease resistance in tomato plants against Ralstonia solanacearum, as well as its antibacterial activity. The roots of tomato seedlings were inoculated with R. solanacearum and then immediately treated with MgO NP; the treated plants showed very little inhibition of bacterial wilt. In contrast, when roots were drenched with a MgO NP suspension prior to inoculation with the pathogen, the incidence of disease was significantly reduced. Rapid generation of reactive oxygen species such as O2?˙ radicals was observed in tomato roots treated with MgO NP. Further O2?˙ was rapidly generated when tomato plant extracts or polyphenols were added to the MgO NP suspension, suggesting that the generation of O2?˙ in tomato roots might be due to a reaction between MgO NP and polyphenols present in the roots. Salicylic acid‐inducible PR1, jasmonic acid‐inducible LoxA, ethylene‐inducible Osm, and systemic resistance‐related GluA were up‐regulated in both the roots and hypocotyls of tomato plants after treatment of the plant roots with MgO NP. Histochemical analyses showed that β‐1,3‐glucanase and tyloses accumulated in the xylem and apoplast of pith tissues of the hypocotyls after MgO NP treatment. These results indicate that MgO NP induces systemic resistance in tomato plants against R. solanacearum.  相似文献

Bacterial wilt in cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton) was observed in Kerala state of India. Infected plants showed wilting wherein all leaves roll or curl upward towards the midrib centre, turn yellow, and the whole plant finally dies; the collar region shows water-soaked lesions initially and turns dark brown eventually; copious quantity of bacterial exudate is observed on the cut end of the pseudostem. The bacterium was identified as Ralstonia solanacearum based on a panel of phenotypic characters such as fluidal white colony on Kelman’s medium, biovar assay and biolog assay (BiologGN), and genotypic characters such as Multiplex-PCR based phylotyping, sequences of 16S rDNA, 16-23S intergenic region, and recN gene. Collectively these tests revealed that the R. solanacearum infecting cardamom belong to biovar 3 and phylotype 1 confirming its Asian origin. Upon soil inoculation, the bacterium caused typical wilting of the cardamom plants in three weeks and ginger plantlets in two weeks. Cross transmissibility of the bacterium was observed in cardamom and ginger wherein the plants succumbed to wilt when R. solanacearum from either of the host was inoculated. BOX-PCR fingerprinting revealed that the strain is identical (100%) to a ginger strain of R. solanacearum, which is widely prevalent in the Indian sub-continent. Furthermore, Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) based strain comparison confirmed that cardamom and ginger strain were identical to each other at 11 loci. Apart from striking phenotypic and genotypic (allelic) similarities, geographical origin, and cross transmissibility of the cardamom strain of R. solanacearum strongly suggest that the new occurrence of wilt of cardamom in India could have an origin in bacterial wilt of ginger. Perusal of records on Ralstonia-induced bacterial wilt in crop plants, particularly among the Zingiberaceae family, reveals that this is a new report of bacterial wilt disease in small cardamom.  相似文献

Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a serious disease of eucalypt in humid and high temperature areas worldwide. Spreading of the bacterium in the field or to other nurseries occurs mainly by symptomless infected plant material. The use of pathogen-free propagating material as well as planting of resistant genotypes are currently the only strategies used for disease control. Therefore, a reliable and sensitive method for detection of low titres of R. solanacearum in infected plant tissue is essential for the success of management programmes. In this work, we adapted an efficient intercalating dye-based real-time PCR protocol to detect the bacterium in symptomless eucalypt plants as well as to investigate its movement in eucalypt clones CLR172 and CLR371, which exhibit resistant and susceptible phenotypes, respectively. We found that the bacterium translocates acropetally and basipetally in inoculated but symptomless cuttings of the resistant clone, as in cuttings of the susceptible clone displaying symptoms. Nevertheless, a smaller concentration of bacterial DNA was detected in tissues of the resistant clone. Mature biofilms occluding the xylem vessels were present in the susceptible clone whereas only single cells or small aggregates were observed in the resistant clone. This work contributes to improve our knowledge of the colonization process of R. solanacearum in eucalypt clones with different levels of susceptibility and to understand how the defence mechanisms against bacterial wilt in Eucalyptus work. Our findings could aid in the selection of the most resistant eucalypt clones to be used in wilt disease management programmes.  相似文献

During the last decade, a new bacterial disease has impaired the yield of vegetable sweet potato (30–80%) in Taiwan. Infected plants developed stunting, root and stem rot, vascular discoloration and wilting. Ten bacterial isolates that caused the same symptoms in sweet potatoes after inoculation were reisolated and classified as Ralstonia solanacearum phylotype I biovar 4 based on physical and molecular analyses. Moreover, these isolates also caused wilting in convolvulaceous, solanaceaous and cruciferous plants. This report is the first of bacterial wilt of sweet potato caused by R. solanacearum in Taiwan.  相似文献
