In an area of Nigeria where downy mildew of maize is present, histological assessment of maize seed revealed the presence of mycelium and oospores of Peronosclerospora sorghi in the kernels. Seed transmission of downy mildew of maize was demonstrated when grain purchased at local markets gave mean seedling infection rates of 12·3% (untreated seeds) and 10·0% (in metalaxyl-treated seeds) within 7 days of emergence, after storage in a desiccator for 30 days. When untreated seeds taken from nubbin ears of systemically infected plants from four states in southern Nigeria were planted at 9 days (17–22% moisture content) and 27 days (9–22% moisture content) after harvest, 20·0% infected seedlings resulted in both trials. Seeds from Borno state in northern Nigeria had 26·6% systemic seedling infection after 9 months of storage at 11% moisture content. When seeds harvested from maize plants inoculated with P. sorghi through silks were examined histologically, hyphae of P. sorghi were observed mostly in the scutellum of the embryo. Transmission of disease to seedlings was observed when the silk-inoculated seeds (9% moisture content) were planted in pots in a greenhouse; however, no disease transmission was observed when such seeds were planted in the field. The epidemiological significance of seed transmission is discussed with particular reference to survival of inoculum and development of epidemics. Also noteworthy is the overall significance of seed transmission in Nigeria, where the major source of seed is that saved by farmers from their grain crop, occasionally supplemented by seed bought from the local market. 相似文献

ABSTRACT The roles of residue size and burial depth were assessed in the survival of Fusarium moniliforme, F. proliferatum, and F. subglutinans in maize stalk residue. Stalk pieces (small or large sizes) were soaked in a spore suspension of F. moniliforme, F. proliferatum, or F. subglutinans and placed in a field on the soil surface or buried at 15- or 30-cm depths. Residue pieces were recovered periodically, cultured on a selective medium, and microscopically examined for the presence of the inoculated Fusarium species. After 630 days, the inoculated Fusarium species were recovered from 0 to 50% of the inoculated stalk pieces in a long-term, continuous maize field, from 0 to 28% of the inoculated stalk pieces placed in a maize/soybean/oat rotation field, and from 0 to 25% of the noninoculated stalk pieces at both locations. Residue size and residue depth had significant effects on survival, but there were significant interactions among strain, depth, residue size, and time. Up to 343 days after placement in the field, survival of the three Fusarium species was not consistently different between buried residues and surface residues, but after 630 days, survival was greater from surface residues. Overall, fungus survival decreased more slowly in the surface residues than in the buried residues. Linear coefficients of determination ranged from 0.35 to 0.82 for the surface residues and from 0.81 to 0.98 for the buried residues. Decline in survival over time followed a more linear pattern in buried residues than in surface residues. Vegetative compatibility tests confirmed that F. moniliforme, F. proliferatum, and F. subglutinans strains can survive at least 630 days in surface or buried maize residue. These results demonstrate that maize residue can act as a long-term source of inoculum for infection of maize plants by these three Fusarium species. 相似文献

The fungus Fusarium moniliforme infects a wide range of crops throughout the world. In maize (Zea mays L.) it causes seedling blight and root, stalk, and ear rots. A simple procedure that can be used to detect infection by F. moliliforme from infected plant tissues has been developed. A F. moniliforme genomic library was prepared and used to identify the recombinant clones containing fungal DNA sequences not hybridizing with the DNA of the host plant, maize. Based on the nucleotide sequence information obtained from the F. moniliforme pUCF2 genomic clone, specific oligonucleotides were designed and used as primers for in vitro DNA amplification by the polymerase chain reaction. An amplification product was obtained with F. moniliforme DNA preparations whereas no amplified DNA was detected with DNAs from other fungal pathogens, including various Fusarium species, or from the host plant. This PCR analysis was successfully employed to identify F. moniliforme directly from the mycelia that develop from naturally infected maize seeds, with no need to obtain pure fungal cultures for reliable diagnosis. The protocol can be used for the diagnosis of infected plants and soils in epidemiological studies of Fusarium diseases, for seed health testing, and for evaluation of susceptibility to colonization in commercial maize hybrids. 相似文献

ABSTRACT To investigate the interaction between two major ear-rotting pathogens, maize ears were inoculated with either Fusarium graminearum, F. moniliforme, or an equal mixture of the two. Silk and kernel tissues were periodically harvested throughout the growing season so that a time course of the experimental variables (disease severity, ergosterol content, fungal DNA content, and mycotoxin concentration) could be recorded. Over the 3 years tested (1992 to 1994), the highest levels of disease and ergosterol were found in the F. graminearum treatment, followed by the mixture treatment (F. graminearum plus F. moniliforme) and, finally, the F. moniliforme treatment. Kernel ergosterol content and disease rating were correlated for both pathogens, but the highest correlation coefficients were obtained in the F. graminearum treatment. The DNA analysis revealed that, in the mixed inoculum, F. moniliforme had a greater growth rate than did F. graminearum. In 1994, appreciable F. moniliforme from natural inoculum was found in the F. graminearum treatment. Fumonisin B(1) levels did not differ between the F. moniliforme treatment and the mixed inoculum treatment. The effect of temperature on the growth rate of the two species explained some of the field results, with temperatures in the silks being more favorable to F. moniliforme. Data on the growth rate on silks obtained by the incorporation of radiolabeled precursor to ergosterol demonstrated that F. graminearum was able to grow well at 26 to 28 degrees C, whereas F. moniliforme grew well over a broader range, including at higher temperatures. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Fusarium spp. in maize can contaminate the grain with mycotoxins if environmental conditions are favorable for fungal growth. To quantify the relationship between growth of Fusarium spp. and environmental conditions, a mathematical model was developed to simulate growth of F. graminearum and F. verticillioides on maize ears following silk inoculation in field experiments from 1992 to 1995. Each species was inoculated separately and as a mixture of the two for 3 of the 4 years on one maize hybrid. Disease progress in ears was measured by a visual rating scale that was converted to percent visual infection. Measurements were made at regular time intervals after silks were inoculated 5 days after silk emergence. Differential equations were used to relate growth rates of Fusarium spp. in maize ears to hourly air temperature and relative humidity and to daily precipitation. Integration of these equations over time produced quantitative estimates of fungal growth. Model calculations compared well with measurements (R(2) = 0.931, standard error of estimate [SEE] = 2.11%) of percent visual disease infection of maize ears over 3 years. The model was tested against a second set of data (R(2) = 0.89, SEE = 5.9%) in which silks were inoculated at nine different times after first silk emergence for each of 2 years (1994 and 1995) with the two species of fungi on the same maize hybrid. At this time, a silk function was developed to account for changes in the susceptibility of silks to disease. F. graminearum responded to wet conditions more than F. verticillioides, and for the conditions of this experiment, grew much faster than F. verticillioides when inoculated separately. When they were inoculated together, F. graminearum growth rates were much lower, indicating some interference by F. verticillioides. During 1993, weather conditions before inoculation reduced the growth of both species in silks. 相似文献

Reduced fusarium ear rot and symptomless infection in kernels of maize genetically engineered for European corn borer resistance 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
ABSTRACT Field experiments were conducted in 1994, 1995, and 1996 to evaluate the incidence and severity of Fusarium ear rot and the incidence of symp-tomless Fusarium infection in kernels of maize hybrids genetically engineered with Bacillus thuringiensis genes encoding for the delta-endotoxin CryIA(b). Treatments included manual infestation with European corn borer (ECB) larvae and insecticide applications to limit ECB activity to specific maize growth stages or mimic standard ECB control practices. Fusarium symptoms and infection were affected by the specific cryIA(b) transformation used in each hybrid that determines tissue-specific expression of CryIA(b). In hybrids expressing CryIA(b) in kernels, incidence and severity of Fusarium ear rot and incidence of symptomless kernel infection were reduced compared with near-isogenic hybrids lacking cryIA(b) genes. In plants that were manually infested with ECB, ear rot incidence was reduced by 87, 58, and 68%; severity was reduced by 96, 54, and 64%; and incidence of kernel infection by Fusarium species was reduced by 17, 38, and 38% in 1994, 1995, and 1996, respectively. Results were similar in treatments that were not manually infested, but differences between transgenic and nontransgenic hybrids were smaller. Most kernel infection was due to F. moniliforme, F. proliferatum, and F. subglutinans (section Liseola) collectively, and it was within this group that transgenic hybrids exhibited reduced infection. Expression of CryIA(b) in plant tissues other than kernels did not consistently affect Fusarium symptoms or infection. Disease incidence was positively correlated with ECB damage to kernels. Insecticide applications also reduced Fusarium symptoms and infection when applied to nontransgenic plants. 相似文献

In order to investigate the pre-harvest contamination of maize plants by Fusarium species in Belgium, a three-year survey has been performed in five fields in which three hybrids differing in susceptibility
to maize stalk rot were sampled at four different physiological stages. An extensive collection of 5,659 Fusarium isolates characterized at the species level was established during the 2005, 2006, and 2007 growing seasons, with a total
of 23 different Fusarium species identified to occur on ears and stalks. A high number of plants was already contaminated by Fusarium spp. at the anthesis stage, although no symptoms were visible on ears or on stalks. As the season progressed, the incidence
of Fusarium-infected maize plants reached 100% in several fields. At the end of the growing season, the most frequently isolated species
in maize ears were F. graminearum, sometimes associated with F. avenaceum, F. crookwellense, F. culmorum, F. poae, and F. temperatum, a new species recently described on maize. The predominant Fusarium species detected in stalks at the end of the growing season were F. graminearum and F. crookwellense, often associated with F. culmorum and F. temperatum. Year-to-year variability observed for the incidence of F. graminearum can most likely be associated with differences in climatic conditions among the three years. 相似文献

Field studies were conducted for 4 years to determine the effect of various ear bagging systems onAspergillus flavus kernel infection and aflatoxin production in developing ears of corn hybrids. Each year, corn hybrids were grown on a Myatt
loam (low water-holding capacity) and a Leeper silty clay loam (high water-holding capacity). Corn ears were inoculated withA. flavus using the side-needle technique 7 days after midsilk (50% of the plants in the plot had silks emerged). For the first 2 years,
inoculated ears were covered with either white or black paper pollination bags at approximately 14 days after inoculation.
During the last 2 years, inoculated ears were covered with either a brown paper pollination bag or a clear plastic zip-lock
bag. Daily maximum temperatures were increased 2 to 4°C in all of the bagging systems over ambient temperatures. The bagging
systems had a limited effect on aflatoxin production andA. flavus kernel infection in the Leeper silty clay loam. In the Myatt loam, ears covered with plastic bags had higher levels of aflatoxin
contamination andA. flavus kernel infection compared with ears covered with paper bags.

ABSTRACT A series of experiments were conducted to test the effect of the presence of Fusarium verticillioides in the maize plant on subsequent infestation by coleopteran and lepidopteran pests. The effect of percent internodes 1 to 5 infected with F. verticillioides, time after planting, and maize variety on attacks of stem and ears by lepidopterous and coleopteran pests was assessed in field experiments in early and late season 1998 and early season 1999 in Benin Republic. Artificial inoculation of the first internode with fungal-treated toothpicks was compared with a hot-water-fungicide seed treatment and a control. In 1998, two varieties that differed in husk tightness, the improved DMRLSR-W and the local Gbogbe, were used. Percentage of node 1 to 5 and plants infected was highest with the inoculation treatment but tended to be similar in the seed treatment and the control. The infection rate tended to increase with time and, within sampling date, decreased with node level. Ear infection was strongly correlated with percent infected nodes, indicating that F. verticillioides in the stem predisposed kernel infection. F. verticillioides incidence was higher in Gbogbe than in DMRLSR-W. Stem and ear infestations by the pyralid Eldana saccharina, the major pest in the area, tended to be highest in inoculation and lowest in the protection treatment. The same trends were found for the pyralid Chilo spp., the tortricid Cryptophlebia leucotreta, and beetles pooled across species. Significant positive correlations were found between ear/stem F. verticillioides infection and E. saccharina, Cryptophlebia leucotreta, Mussidia nigrivenella, and the noctuid Sesamia calamistis, but the latter three pest species were only significantly correlated with fungal infection of the upper nodes of the plant. Similar to disease incidence, E. saccharina numbers in stem and ear were higher in Gbogbe than DMRLSR-W in late 1998, whereas for the pyralid ear feeder M. nigrivenella, it was reversed. It was suggested that some lepidopterous and coleopteran pests are attracted by and survive longer (or have lower mortality) on plants infected with F. verticillioides. 相似文献

Infection and Fumonisin Production by Fusarium verticillioides in Developing Maize Kernels 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
ABSTRACT Fusarium ear rot and fumonisin contamination are serious problems for maize growers, particularly in the southeastern United States. The lack of maize genotypes highly resistant to infection by Fusarium verticillioides or to fumonisin contamination emphasizes the need for management strategies to prevent contamination by this mycotoxin. Information on the initial appearance of infection and fumonisin contamination of kernels and their increase over time is needed to determine if early harvest may be an appropriate control strategy. Maize ears from replicated studies at two locations in eastern North Carolina were harvested weekly, starting 2 weeks after pollination and continuing for 14 weeks. The percentage of kernels infected with F. verticillioides and the fumonisin contamination in the harvested samples were determined. Kernel infection by F. verticillioides and fumonisin contamination appeared as kernels neared physiological maturity and increased up to the average harvest date for maize in North Carolina. Beyond this date, the concentrations of fumonisin fluctuated. Under years conducive for fumonisin contamination, early harvest (greater than 25% grain moisture) may help reduce the level of contamination. 相似文献

Silk infection by Fusarium verticillioides is caused by conidia produced on maize crop residues and results in kernel infection and consequent accumulation of fumonisins.
Studies were carried out in both controlled and field conditions to understand the dynamics of sporulation on maize residues.
The effect of temperature (5°C to 45°C) and incubation time (3 to 41 days) on spore production on maize meal agar was described
by a logistic model that accounted for 85% of variability. The rate parameter depended on the length of incubation and the
asymptote on temperature. Maximum sporulation occurred at 27°C, with a progressive increase between 5°C and 27°C and then
a rapid decline, with no sporulation at 45°C. Fusarium verticillioides strains from different geographic origins showed different sporulation capabilities, with similar optimum temperatures. Pieces
of stalk residues inoculated with F. verticillioides and placed above the soil between rows of maize crops, in 2003 to 2005, produced conidia continuously and abundantly for
some weeks, particularly during the period after silk emergence, with an average of 1.59 × 107 conidia g−1 of stalk, over a wide range of environmental conditions. Sixty-seven percent of variability of the spore numbers found on
stalks was accounted for by a multiple regression model. Precipitation (rain or overhead irrigation) in the 14 days before
stalk sampling decreased the number of spores, whilst the number of days with conducive conditions of moisture (i.e. days
with rainfall, average relative humidity >85% or vapour pressure deficit <4 hPa) and greater degree-days (base 0°C) in the
14 and 3 days before sampling, respectively, increased sporulation. 相似文献

Diversity and pathogenicity of Fusarium graminearum species complex from maize stalk and ear rot strains in northeast China 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 The Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC) is an important group of pathogens distributed in maize‐producing areas worldwide. This study investigated the genetic diversity and pathogenicity of 40 FGSC isolates obtained from stalk rot and ear rot samples collected from 42 locations in northeastern China during 2013 and 2014. A phylogenetic tree of translation elongation factor (EF‐la) sequences designated the 40 isolates as F. graminearum sensu stricto (67.5%) and F. boothii (32.5%). By using inter‐simple sequence repeat analysis (ISSR), it was shown that the isolates were divided into two clades, which corresponded to the species identity of the isolates. However, the isolates from the two different diseases could not be distinguished in pathogenicity. The disease severity index of seedlings inoculated with stalk isolates was slightly higher than that of seedlings inoculated with isolates from infected ears, whereas the pathogenicity of the stalk and ear isolates were identical. 相似文献

During seed production, Brassica seed may become infected with Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris after systemic colonization of plants upon leaf infection, or alternatively, after flower infection. Polytunnel experiments were conducted in 2007 and 2008 to study the relative importance of these colonization routes resulting in seed infection. Cauliflower plants (Brassica oleracea) were spray-inoculated at the 8-leaf stage, after formation of cauliflowers or during flowering, at which stage leaves or blossoms were inoculated. Inoculation at all stages resulted in a relatively high percentage of systemic infection; the average estimated infection incidences for stem base and peduncle infections were 16 % and 19 %, respectively. When seed samples were examined by dilution plating for deep-seated infection following hot water treatment, Xcc was detected in 61 % of the 23 seed samples harvested from plants with inoculated flowers. However, symptom development in seedlings raised from the seeds could not be confirmed in a grow-out test under favourable conditions for Xcc infection at a high RH (>95 %) and a relative high temperature (28 °C). Xcc was not detected in 59 seed samples harvested from leaf-inoculated plants with the exception of one sample from plants inoculated at peduncle formation. In a third polytunnel experiment carried out in 2009, the population dynamics of Xcc on inoculated flowers was investigated. Following spray-inoculation of flowers, 52 % of the flowers were infected with Xcc. During development of siliques, infection incidence decreased slowly and at 56 dpi, 20 % of the superficially disinfected siliques were infected with Xcc. It was estimated that 0.18 % of the seeds was infected and that 1–10 % of the infected siliques contained infected seeds. The implications of these results for control of Xcc in a seed production crop are discussed. 相似文献

The effect of the primary infection site by Fusarium graminearum and F. culmorum within wheat ears on Fusarium head blight (FHB) was investigated under controlled conditions. FHB development was assessed visually and thermographically following inoculation by: (i) spraying ears, or injecting inoculum into spikelets on (ii) tip, (iii) centre and (iv) base of the ears, separately. Fusarium infection significantly increased the temperature span within ears 6 days post inoculation (dpi), especially infections starting at the ear tip. The temperature difference between air and ear was negatively correlated to FHB severity and enabled disease detection even 29 dpi. F. culmorum caused significant higher disease severity neither reflected in the frequency of infected kernels nor in thousand kernel weight (TKW). Spray inoculations had the strongest effect on TKW, whereas tip inoculations had no effect. Centre and base inoculations had intermediate effects on TKW, although FHB levels did not differ with the same trend among inoculation scenarios. The overall low correlations among FHB severity, infected kernels and TKW are explained by the pathogen spread within ears – downwards more than upwards – and the effect on yield formation which is lower for infections of the upper parts of ears. An exponential model showed high goodness of fit for gradients of infected kernels within ears (R 2 ≥ 70) except tip infection with F. culmorum. This study confirmed that FHB is a function of the primary infection site within ears. Thermography was useful to differentiate among infection scenarios and may be applied in breeding for FHB resistance. 相似文献
