ABSTRACT Experiments were conducted in three prune orchards in California. In each orchard, inoculations with Monilinia fructicola, the causal agent of brown rot of stone fruits, were performed on branches of trees at bloom and fruit developmental stages. Five inoculum concentrations were used in each inoculation. Six and four wetness durations were created for each inoculum concentration at bloom and fruit developmental stages, respectively. Fruit were harvested 3 weeks before commercial harvest. The overnight freezing incubation technique was used to promote sporulation and to determine incidence of latent infection (ILI) of fruit brown rot. No differences in ILI among locations were found. A seasonal pattern of bloom and fruit susceptibility to latent infection was determined. Susceptibility to latent infection at bloom stage was at a moderate level and increased to reach the highest level at pit hardening stage. Subsequently, fruit susceptibility to latent infection decreased, reaching the lowest level in early June at embryo growth stage. Thereafter, the susceptibility increased again with fruit development and maturity until harvest. Linear relationships between ILI and inoculum concentration were obtained for most combinations of growth stage and wetness duration. Incidence of latent infection increased linearly with increased wetness duration at bloom stage and increased exponentially with increased wetness duration at early and late fruit developmental stages. The optimum temperatures for latent infection at pit hardening stage ranged from 14 to 18 degrees C, but the effect of temperature on latent infection was reduced at resistant stages. The temperature range favorable to latent infection varied for different wetness durations.  相似文献

ABSTRACT The quantitative relationships between incidence of latent infection (ILI) of prune by Monilinia fructicola and wetness duration (WD) for different bloom and fruit developmental stages and different inoculum concentrations were obtained. Three levels of ILI were considered as criteria for low, moderate, and high risks of latent infection, respectively. Seasonal patterns of WD leading to different risk levels of latent infection were obtained for low (IP(L)) and high (IP(H)) inoculum potential conditions in orchards. Longer WD was needed at a resistant than at a susceptible fruit developmental stage to induce similar levels of latent infection. The curves of WD leading to different levels of ILI over the growing season (risky WD curves) were used in risk analysis for latent infection. Multi-year historical WD data from 10 prune-growing locations in California were compared with risky WD curves. The percentage of days (P) with WD leading to a certain risk level of latent infection was calculated for each month from historical weather data. Under the IP(L) condition, the P distributions for low risk of latent infection were higher in March and April than in May and were the lowest in June for most locations. Under the IP(H) condition, the number of days that WD leading to low risk of latent infection in May increased compared with those under the IP(L) condition. The risk analysis approach was evaluated by using separate experimental data as incidence of fruit brown rot obtained from different prune orchards over years. Consistency between predicted overall risk levels of latent infection and observed incidence of fruit brown rot was obtained. The results demonstrated the usefulness of the risk analysis in decision support system for disease management.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Inoculations were performed six to eight times in each of 10 prune orchards located in nine counties of California. In each inoculation, branches that bore 40 to 60 blossoms or 30 to 40 fruit were inoculated with conidial suspensions of Monilinia fructicola. Three inoculum concentrations and 14 to 16 h of humidity were used for each inoculation. All inoculated fruit were maintained on trees and harvested separately 2 weeks before commercial harvest. The incidence of latent infection (ILI) and percentage of branches with fruit rot (PBFR) were determined for each inoculation in each orchard. As the ILI increased, the PBFR also increased linearly. Five conditions that lead latent infection to fruit rot include (i) latent infection level; (ii) fruit developmental stage; (iii) inoculum concentration; (iv) total hours of relative humidity greater than 90% (hRH); and (v) total hours of dew period (hDEW) from mid-July to mid-August. Three levels of PBFR, 1, 5, and 10% were assigned, and threshold conditions that lead to these levels were determined based on the experimental results. The relative probabilities that lead latent infection to fruit rot (r_PBFR) at different fruit developmental stages were calculated. A preliminary decision support model to guide fungicide application was developed based on the above results. One of the four recommendations, safe, wait, check historical weather as a reference, and apply a fungicide immediately, could be provided based on the level of latent infection and the decision process developed through this study.  相似文献

Five field experiments were performed in commercial orchards located in Lleida (Spain) over three growing seasons, 2000–2002, in order to estimate the relationship between the incidence of latent infection caused by Monilinia spp. in peaches and the incidence of post-harvest brown rot. No latent infection was recorded at popcorn and the maximum incidence occurred pre-harvest; in some orchards a second peak was detected during the pit hardening period. Monilinia laxa is the most prevalent species isolated from peaches with brown rot. There was a positive correlation between the incidence of latent infection and that of post-harvest brown rot. The average incidence of latent infection during the crop season explained 55% of the total variation in the incidence of post-harvest brown rot. The effect of temperature (T) and duration of wetness (W) on the incidence of latent infection in peach and nectarine orchards was analysed using multiple regression. The regression analysis indicated that T and W jointly explained 83% of the total variation in the incidence of latent infection. The model predicts no latent infections when T < 8°C, and >22 h wetness are required when T = 8°C but only 5 h at 25°C are necessary for latent infection to occur. The incidence of brown rot and latent infection of peaches caused by M. laxa under controlled experimental conditions were also affected by T and W, as well as by fruit maturity and inoculum concentration. Latent infections were produced in fruit when T was not suitable for the development of brown rot symptoms. In these experiments more than 4–5 h of daily wetness were required after embryo growth in fruit sprayed to run-off with an inoculum concentration higher than 104 conidia ml−1 of M. laxa for brown rot and latent infections to develop. The fitted model obtained from the field data was able to predict the observed data obtained under controlled environmental conditions.  相似文献

The fungal pathogen Monilinia fructicola causes blossom blight and fruit brown rot of stone fruits in California. In this study, spore densities in the air were monitored in six orchard/year combinations with Burkard spore traps. A real-time PCR assay was developed to efficiently quantify the dynamics of spore density in these orchards during the growing season. Different patterns of dynamics of spore density were observed in these orchards. A linear relationship between numbers of spores counted with a compound microscope and those determined with the real-time PCR assay was obtained, using the same samples of spore traps. Spore density in five of six orchard/year combinations ranged from 0.0 to 0.05 spores l−1, except for that in orchard 4, which showed much higher values of spore density in the air, as well as higher values and wider range of incidences of blossom infection and fruit rot than those in the other orchards. The results demonstrated a potential method to quantitatively determine spore inoculum potential in orchards by using a real-time PCR assay.  相似文献

To examine the duration of post-infectional activity of ergosterol biosynthesis-inhibiting fungicides (EBIs) against Botryosphaeria dothidea, the cause of apple white rot, a series of experiments was conducted for 3 years at different times during the apple-growing season using apples infected through artificial inoculation or natural infection. Disease incidence at harvest was gradually reduced as the time of chemical application was delayed until early or mid-August, regardless of the time of infection. Latent infections, detected after storing the fruit at 25°C for 4 weeks were also reduced by late season applications, but the reduction was less than that observed on the fruit at harvest. From these results, apple white rot can be effectively controlled by a single application of EBIs around mid-August, after which time, infections no longer occur in Korea.

To evaluate the effect of conidial density of Monilinia spp. on the fruit surface on the incidence of latent infection and brown rot in peaches, eleven field surveys were performed in commercial orchards located in Cataluña, Spain over four growing seasons from 2002 to 2005, and nine surveys were conducted to determine the sources of overwintered Monilinia spp. inoculum. There was a significant positive relationship (r?=?0.69) between the numbers of conidia of Monilinia spp. on the fruit surface and the incidence of latent infections, but not with brown rot at harvest. Although mummified fruit, twigs and pits have been identified as being able to carry the pathogen from year to year in peaches grown in Spanish orchards, no relationships between any of these sources and the numbers of conidia on the fruit surface, or incidence of latent infection or brown rot were found. The effect of temperature (T), solar radiation (SR), rainfall (R) and wind speed (WS) on the area under the number of conidia of Monilinia spp. curve (AUncC) on peach surfaces was analysed. Regression analysis revealed that T, SR, R, and WS could account for 99% of the total variation in the area of the AUncC on peach surfaces. Thus, in order to reduce the incidence of latent infection and brown rot it is essential not only to remove the sources of primary inoculum but also to reduce the number of Monilinia spp. conidia on the fruit surface. Furthermore, the sources of airborne conidia of Monilinia spp. should be taken into consideration in disease management programmes in Spain.  相似文献

In a 4-year study, the incidence of various types of injuries (caused by insects, birds, growth cracks, mechanical wounding, and other, unidentified factors) was assessed in relation to brown rot development (caused by Monilinia fructigena) on fruit of three apple cultivars (Prima, Jonathan, and Mutsu) in integrated and organic blocks of two apple orchards in Hungary. In addition, populations of male codling moths (Cydia pomonella) were monitored with pheromone traps season-long in both management systems. On average, injury incidence on fruit at harvest was 6.1 and 19.2% in the integrated and organic treatments, respectively. Insect injury, which was caused primarily by C. pomonella, had the highest incidence among the five injury types, accounting for 79.4% of the total injury by harvest in the organic blocks and 36.6% in the integrated blocks. Levels of all other injury types remained close to zero during most of the season, but the incidence of bird injury and growth cracks increased markedly in the final 3 to 5 weeks before harvest in both production systems. Brown rot developed more slowly and reached a lower incidence in the integrated (6.4% final incidence on average) compared with the organic blocks (20.1% average incidence). In addition, the disease developed later but attained higher levels as the cultivar ripening season increased from early-maturing Prima to late-maturing Mutsu. Overall, 94.3 to 98.7% of all injured fruit were also infected by M. fructigena, whereas the incidence of brown-rotted fruit without visible injury was very low (0.8 to 1.6%). Correlation coefficients (on a per plot basis) and association indices (on a per-fruit basis) were calculated between brown rot and the various injury types for two selected assessment dates 4 weeks preharvest and at harvest. At both dates, the strongest significant (P < 0.05) relationships were observed between brown rot and insect injury and between brown rot and the cumulative number of trapped C. pomonella. At the harvest assessment, two additional significant correlations were between brown rot and bird injury and between brown rot and growth cracks. In every case, correlation coefficients were larger in organic than in integrated blocks. Although it is well established that brown rot in pome fruits is closely associated with fruit injuries, this is the first study to provide season-long progress data on different injury types and quantitative analyses of their relative importance at different times in the growing season and across two distinct management systems.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Epidemic development of brown rot, caused by Monilinia fructigena, was monitored in integrated and organic apple orchards at two locations in eastern Hungary between 2002 and 2005 on three cultivars with early, midseason, and late ripening periods. Disease incidence and severity measures were affected significantly (P < 0.05) by management system (organic versus integrated) and cultivar, but there was no significant management system-cultivar interaction. Epidemics started 2 to 4 weeks earlier in organic orchards and on the early cv. Prima compared with integrated orchards and the late cv. Mutsu. Disease intensity increased markedly in the final 3 to 5 weeks before harvest and was considerably lower in integrated than in organic orchards. Final brown rot incidence on fruit in the tree was correlated with incidence on dropped fruit on the orchard floor (r > 0.75, P < 0.05), whereby the lag period from the appearance of the first symptomatic fruit on the ground to the occurrence of the first symptomatic fruit in the tree ranged from 2 weeks to 2 months, depending on the cultivar. The inflection point of the disease progress curve was attained first by fruit on the ground, followed successively by fruit in the lower, middle, and upper thirds of the tree canopy. This may indicate that dropped fruit that became infected early provided a source of inoculum for subsequent epidemics by serving as a bridge between sporulation from overwintered fruit mummies in the spring and the first fruit with sporulating lesions in the tree in midsummer. Removal of dropped fruit from the orchard floor resulted in a significantly lower disease incidence on fruit in the tree on all cultivars; thus, drop-removal may be useful as a brown rot management practice in apple orchards.  相似文献

Sphaeropsis rot, caused by Sphaeropsis pyriputrescens, is an important postharvest disease of apple in the United States. The objectives of this study were to determine the timing of apple fruit infection in the orchard in relation to development of Sphaeropsis rot in storage and to identify infection courts and mode of penetration by S. pyriputrescens on apple fruit. Fruit of apple cvs Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and Fuji were inoculated in the orchard from 3 weeks after petal fall to 2 weeks before harvest at 5 to 6-week intervals in three consecutive seasons. All fruit were harvested and stored at 0?ºC to monitor decay development. Light and scanning electron microscopy were used to examine the infection courts and mode of penetration of the fungus on/in the host tissues. At harvest, the fungus was re-isolated from the stem (pedicel), sepal, anther, or filament of the inoculated fruit, but decay did not develop on fruit. Sphaeropsis rot developed on inoculated fruit during cold storage beginning 1–3 months after harvest. Stem-end rot was prevalent on cv. Golden Delicious, whereas calyx-end rot was prevalent on cv. Fuji. Both stem- and calyx-end rots were common on cv. Red Delicious. Infection also occurred at lenticels on fruit skin, particularly on cv. Golden Delicious, but at low incidence. Relationships between the incidence of Sphaeropsis rot in stored apple fruit and the timing of inoculation in the orchard varied with cultivar and year. On cv. Red Delicious apples, the incidence of Sphaeropsis rot generally increased as the timing of infection approached harvest. Histological studies indicated that infection took place through natural openings of plant organs such as stomata on stems and sepals and lenticels on fruit skin. Fungal penetration also was observed at micro-cracks on the stem and sepal and at trichome sockets where mechanical damage occurred in sepals. Direct penetration was observed on the stem and sepal of fruit, but most invasions were restricted between the cuticle and the epidermis. Our results indicate that wounding is not required for infection of apple fruit by S. pyriputrescens, though it may facilitate infections.  相似文献

Eight field surveys over three growing seasons (April to October in 2006, 2007, and 2008) were done in three commercial peach and nectarine orchards in order to determine the secondary inoculum dynamics of Monilinia spp. and relationship to the weather conditions and incidence of postharvest brown rot in the Ebro Valley, which is the main peach fruit growing region in Spain. After regression analysis of the epidemiological data of postharvest brown rot and the climatic variables, a disease outbreak can be predicted from (i) the times of the first appearance of airborne conidia, the first appearance of conidia on the surface of flowers and fruits, and the first latent infection, all of which occur 2?months before harvest (ii) the number of conidia on the fruit surface, 2?weeks and 1?week before harvest, (iii) the preharvest incidence of brown rot, and (iv) the mean environmental temperature from popcorn to harvest. From these results, we confirmed the importance of the secondary inoculum dynamics of Monilinia spp. and the utility of these dynamics to predict an outbreak of brown rot in peaches on the day of their harvest and after their harvesting.  相似文献

Neonectria galligena can cause European canker of apple as well as fruit rot. Healthy unwounded fruits on potted trees of cvs Cox, Bramley and Gala were inoculated with conidia of N. galligena to investigate the effects of wetness duration and fruit maturity on rot development. Overall, the incidence of fruit rot was influenced more by fruit maturity at the time of inoculation than by duration of wetness (6–48 h). Young fruit were most susceptible to infection, with 50% of fruit infected when inoculated up to 4 weeks after full bloom. The susceptibility decreased initially until c. 2 months after full bloom and then increased gradually until harvest. Almost all preharvest symptoms (eye rot) developed only on the fruit inoculated up to 4 weeks after full bloom. All other rots were observed after six‐month postharvest storage under controlled atmospheric conditions. However, the relative proportion of preharvest eye rots and postharvest storage rots varied greatly among three years. The effect of wetness duration was only significant for fruit inoculated in their early stages of development but not for those inoculated near harvest. Regression models were developed to describe the observed effects of fruit maturity and wetness on the incidence of total nectria rots.  相似文献

Experiments under controlled environmental conditions were conducted during bloom of prune (Prunus domestica, L.) in 1999 and 2000 to assess the effects of inoculum concentration (IC), wetness duration (WD), temperature, and bloom stages on development of brown rot blossom blight of prunes. Branches from trees of a prune orchard were inoculated with Monilinia fructicola at different bloom stages and incubated at different temperatures with different periods of WD. The proportion of blighted blossoms (PBB) for each inoculated branch was determined. Bloom stage, IC, temperature, and WD significantly affected blossom blight of prunes. PBB at popcorn and full bloom stages was significantly greater than PBB at later bloom stages (P 30 degrees C and less than 4-h WD. However, longer than 4-h WD linearly increased incidence of blossom blight. A risk assessment table of blossom blight was produced for different environmental conditions to guide the control of prune brown rot.  相似文献

Higher recovery of Colletotrichum acutatum , the causal agent of anthracnose (ripe-rot), from blueberry tissues during the growing seasons of 2002 and 2003 was found at bloom and ripe berry than at other stages of plant development. The effects of leaf-wetness duration and ambient temperature on fruit infection frequency were determined during the growing seasons of 2001–03. Potted 2-year-old blueberry plants were exposed for 1-week periods to prevailing environmental conditions and natural inoculum in a commercial field, and grown to harvest, when fruit infection was assessed. Three peaks of infection were observed: early during bloom, mid-season during the mature green berry stage, and later in the season when berries had ripened. Weather data collected simultaneously indicated that a minimum of 10 h of leaf wetness at 11°C was sufficient for fruit infection. These conditions preceded each peak of infection. To determine whether peaks of infection in the field were also caused by changes in host susceptibility or available inoculum, groups of potted blueberry plants were artificially inoculated at weekly intervals during the growing season of 2004, exposed to prevailing environmental conditions, and fruit infection assessed at harvest. Flowers and developing fruits were found to be susceptible throughout the season, indicating that specific peaks of infection were associated with environmental conditions and availability of inoculum.  相似文献

In a three-year Hungarian study, conidial density of Monilinia fructigena in the air determined from mid-May until harvest was related to brown rot disease progress in integrated and organic apple orchards. Conidia of M. fructigena were first trapped in late May in both orchards in all years. Number of conidial density greatly increased after the appearance of first infected fruit, from early July in the organic and from early August in the integrated orchard. Conidial number continuously increased until harvest in both orchards. Final brown rot incidence reached 4.3–6.6% and 19.8–24.5% in the integrated and organic orchards, respectively. Disease incidence showed a significant relationship with corresponding cumulative numbers of trapped conidia both in integrated and organic orchards, and was described by separate three-parameter Gompertz functions for the two orchards. Time series analyses, using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models, revealed that the temporal patterns of the number of airborne conidia was similar in all years in both integrated and organic orchards. Conidia caught over a 24-h period showed distinct diurnal periodicity, with peak spore density occurring in the afternoon between 13.00 and 18.00. Percent viability of M. fructigena conidia ranged from 48.8 to 70.1% with lower viability in dry compared to wet days in both orchards and all years. Temperature and relative humidity correlated best with mean hourly conidial catches in both integrated and organic apple orchards in each year. Correlations between aerial spore density and wind speed were significant only in the organic orchard over the 3-year period. Mean hourly rainfall was negatively but poorly correlated with mean hourly conidial catches. Results were compared and discussed with previous observations.  相似文献

Botrytis bunch rot (BBR), caused by Botrytis cinerea, degrades wine grapes during ripening, even though infection can occur as early as flowering. Effective BBR management requires knowledge of whether some stages of fruit development are more important than others in relation to infection and BBR severity at harvest. Bunches of Vitis vinifera ‘Sauvignon blanc’ and/or ‘Pinot noir’ were inoculated in two vineyard trials and one glasshouse trial with nitrate non‐utilizing (nit) mutant strains at three phenological stages: early flowering, pre‐bunch closure (PBC) and veraison. Isolates recovered from symptomless berries at veraison and from bunches with symptoms at harvest were screened to measure the incidence of the nit strains used in the inoculations. It was found that latent infections, which resulted in BBR at harvest, could become established at all three phenological stages and no single stage was associated with greater latent incidence or harvest severity than any other stage. It was concluded that a proportion of BBR at harvest resulted from the expression of latent infections that had accumulated throughout the season. However, the time between infection and BBR symptom expression in near‐ripe grape berries was sufficiently short for polycyclic secondary infection to also contribute to epidemic development.  相似文献

Potebniamyces pyri (anamorph Phacidiopycnis piri) is the causal agent of Phacidiopycnis rot, a postharvest disease of pear fruit (Pyrus communis). Infections of pear fruit by P. pyri occur in the orchard, and symptoms develop after harvest during storage or in the market. P. pyri also is the cause of a canker and twig dieback disease of pear trees. To determine inoculum availability of P. pyri, dead bark and dead fruit spurs were periodically collected in two commercial ‘d’Anjou’ pear orchards and examined for the presence and viability of fruiting bodies of P. pyri. To determine seasonal survival of P. pyri, 2-year-old twigs of ‘d’Anjou’ pear in a research orchard were inoculated approximately monthly over 2 years with P. pyri and monitored for canker development. Inoculated twigs were removed from the trees 6 months post inoculation and examined for formation, viability of pycnidia of P. pyri, and reisolation of the pathogen. In both commercial orchards, all sampled trees were infected by P. pyri; viable pycnidia of P. pyri were observed on 42–78 % of the sampled bark and 5–32 % of the sampled fruit spurs; and viable conidia were observed at all sampling times during the fruit growing season. Apothecia of P. pyri also were observed on sampled dead bark and fruit spurs, but at a frequency ranging from 0 % to 19 %. P. pyri was recovered from inoculated twigs 6 months after inoculation at all sampling times during the 2-year study, but recovery frequency varied. P. pyri formed pycnidia on most cold-injured and inoculated twigs. The results suggest that: i) the conidial state of P. pyri is the main type of inoculum in pear orchards in the region; ii) viable inoculum of P. pyri for potential fruit infections is available during the pear fruit-growing season; iii) P. pyri can form pycnidia on cankers of twigs infected by the fungus at different seasons during the year; and iv) P. pyri can survive as mycelium in diseased pear twigs year round in the orchard.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Visible and nonvisible quiescent infections of immature and mature fruit are an integral component of the disease cycle of brown rot of sweet cherry in California. Detection of these infections is critical for developing efficient and efficacious fungicide management programs. The previously published DNA amplification primers mfs3 and NS5 for the identification of Monilinia fructicola were very specific in amplifying DNA of M. fructicola only and not M. laxa. This primer set, however, only detected DNA from some of the California isolates of M. fructicola. This genetic diversity was supported by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Using eight 10-mer primers, seven M. fructicola isolates from California were all identified as genetically distinct. Using the same primers, only one polymorphism was detected among seven isolates of M. laxa. The multiple genotypes identified within the small population sample of M. fructicola, but not of M. laxa, using RAPD analysis could be indicative of genetic recombination within M. fructicola but not within M. laxa. To detect early brown rot infections in fruit, two primer sets that were developed from DNA sequences of either ribosomal DNA (MF5/ITS4/ITS3) or a RAPD fragment (X-09intF3/X-09R) specifically amplified DNA from isolates of M. fructicola and Monilinia species, respectively. No amplification products were present when using DNA from Botrytis cinerea or from other fungi commonly found on sweet cherry fruit. Primers X-09intF3 and X-09R were more sensitive and reliable for detecting small amounts of target DNA either extracted from conidia or from laboratory-inoculated cherry fruit with early brown rot infections that showed no visual symptoms or with visible quiescent infections. Furthermore, these primers also were effective for detecting visible quiescent infections in cherry fruit that were collected in the field.  相似文献

Anthracnose is the main disease of persimmon and is caused by Colletotrichum spp. The study of field epidemiology is essential for the development of efficient management of this disease. In this study, we investigated infection by Colletotrichum spp. throughout the persimmon growing season to understand the host–pathogen interactions better. We observed the production of primary inoculum of persimmon anthracnose and described how epidemics progress from secondary infections during the fruit crop season. The field study was carried out in an organic orchard with three susceptible persimmon cultivars, Fuyu, Kakimel and Jiro, for three consecutive seasons. Our results indicate that the pathogen survives in 1-year-old shoots, which are the sources of primary inoculum. Later that growing season, the inoculum reaches flowers and new shoots, developing symptoms and producing the secondary inoculum. Fruit drop was also observed, with or without symptoms of anthracnose, throughout the plant cycle. In some of the symptomless fruit, collected from the plant and from the ground where they had fallen, latent infections of Colletotrichum spp. were detected. Shoots, flowers, immature and ripened fruit remained infected throughout the growing season, producing conidia that could lead to new secondary infections within and among plants. The incidence of anthracnose in fruit at harvest and postharvest proved to be less relevant for disease management. Practices for chemical and cultural control of the disease throughout the persimmon growing season are discussed.  相似文献

Brown rot of stone fruit caused by Monilinia fructicola (G. Wint) Honey is one of the most common fungal diseases in California. In this study, two laboratory-induced iprodione-resistant (LIR) mutants of M. fructicola were characterized by osmotic sensitivity, virulence on prune and sequence of the two-component histidine kinase gene (Mfos-1). The LIR mutants showed more sensitivity to osmotic stress and lower virulence on prune than their wild-type parent. Analysis of deduced amino acid of Mfos-1 showed that this protein exhibited all the characteristic features of the two-component histidine kinase genes, including osmotic sensing domain, six 90-amino-acid repeat motifs (coiled coil region) and kinase core and response regulator domains. Comparison of DNA sequences of the Mfos-1 from LIR mutants and the wild-type sensitive (S) isolate showed that LIR mutants had single point mutations in the coiled coil region of Mfos-1.  相似文献
