Quantitative changes in the antifungal compound, 1-acetoxy-2-hydroxy-4-oxo-heneicosa-12.15-diene, in freshly harvested avocado fruits during the initial stages of fungal development were investigated to determine the possible involvement of the compound in quiescent infections of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The concentration of the antifungal compound in the peel decreased to subfungitoxic concentrations 16 h after harvest. Fifty-six hours later the antifungal diene had increased to c . 3800 μg/g fresh weight. At this stage, germinated appressoria had penetrated the cuticle to the epidermal cells but no fungal development was observed until 7 days later when the concentration of the diene had decreased to 100-110μg/g fresh weight. Following a dip treatment at 55°C for 5 or 10 min, the antifungal diene concentration decreased as in the controls, but it remained at subfungitoxic concentrations for a longer period enabling fungal development and early symptom expression.
The concentration of the diene in the flesh of freshly harvested fruit decreased to 120 μg/g fresh weight 24 h after harvest. Inoculation of peeled fruits with spores of C. gloeosporioides showed germination without appressoria formation and symptom expression occurred 24-48 h later. Symptom expression was delayed if fruits were inoculated after coating the flesh with epicuticular wax extracts or if the flesh was inoculated 3 days after harvest when the antifungal diene had regained a fungitoxic concentration. Disease symptoms were expressed in soft fruits containing subfungitoxic concentrations of the diene.
We conclude that the diene in unripe avocado fruits inhibits fungal development of germinated appressoria or conidia. The quiescent structure of C. gloeosporioides in unripe avocado fruit is a subcuticular hypha.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Reduced-pathogenicity mutants of the avocado fruit pathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides isolate Cg-14 (teleomorph: Glomerella cingulata) were generated by insertional mutagenesis by restriction enzyme-mediated integration (REMI) transformation. Following seven transformations, 3,500 hygromycin-resistant isolates were subjected to a virulence assay by inoculation on mesocarp and pericarp of cv. Fuerte avocado fruits. Fourteen isolates showed a reduced degree of virulence relative compared with wild-type Cg-14. Two isolates, Cg-M-142 and Cg-M-1150, were further characterized. Cg-M-142 produced appressoria on avocado pericarp similar to Cg-14, but caused reduced symptom development on the fruit's pericarp and mesocarp. Isolate Cg-M-1150 did not produce appressoria; it caused much reduced maceration on the mesocarp and no symptoms on the pericarp. Southern blot analysis of Cg-M-142 and Cg-M-1150 showed REMI at different XbaI sites of the fungal genome. Pre-inoculation of avocado fruit with Cg-M-142 delayed symptom development by the wild-type isolate. Induced resistance was accompanied by an increase in the levels of preformed antifungal diene, from 760 to 1,200 mug/g fresh weight 9 days after inoculation, whereas pre-inoculation with Cg-M-1150 did not affect the level of antifungal diene, nor did it delay the appearance of decay symptoms. The results presented here show that reduced-pathogenicity isolates can be used for the biological control of anthracnose caused by C. gloeosporioides attack.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is an important postharvest pathogen that attacks ripe avocado fruit. Two reduced-pathogenicity mutants, Cg-M-142 and Cg-M-1150, previously obtained by restriction enzyme mediated integration, were used for the sequential analysis of the induction of biocontrol in avocado fruit. Plant biochemical indicators, such as H(+)-ATPase activity and levels of reactive oxygen species, phenylalanine ammonia lyase, epicatechin, and an antifungal diene, were investigated. The main difference between Cg-M-142 and Cg-M-1150 was the lack of appressorium formation by the latter. Preinoculation of avocado fruit with Cg-M-142 enhanced H(+)-ATPase activity and the production of reactive oxygen species. These early signaling events were followed by higher phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity and higher levels of epicatechin and the antifungal diene, and decay was delayed. Unlike Cg-M-142, Cg-M-1150 did not activate early signaling events related to fruit resistance. We suggest that the initiation of early signaling events affecting fruit resistance is determined by the capability of the pathogen to interact with the fruit during appressorium formation. Furthermore, the intensity of the fruit defense response determines the level of resistance during fruit storage.  相似文献

Quantitative changes in the antifungal compound 1-acetoxy-2-hydroxy-4-Oxo-heneicosa-12, 15-diene in harvested avocado fruits, and the development of symptoms caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides , were investigated following treatment with hot water at 55°C for 10 min. The concentration of the compound in the peel and flesh was 2000 and 2600 μg/g fresh weight, respectively, at the time of harvest, but decreased rapidly during the first 24 h. Levels of the diene had substantially recovered after 50 h. However antifungal diene levels in the peel of hot-water-treated fruit did not recover until 98 h. The levels in the flesh were unaffected by the treatment. Following inoculation, hot-water-treated fruits developed clear symptoms after 2 days, whereas untreated fruits showed only minor symptoms after 6 days. If inoculation was delayed by 24, 48 or 72 h after treatment, then symptoms on treated fruits did not develop until the sixth day as observed for untreated fruits. The correlation between the two systems suggests that quiescence is probably maintained by the level of antifungal diene present in the peel at the time of fungal penetration and the formation of a subcuticular hypha.  相似文献

Inoculation of avocado pericarp tissue with Colletotrichum gloeospori-oides and treatment of avocado cell cultures with the cell wall elicitor of C. gloeosporioidesboth increased the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, whereas the production of ROS could be detected within minutes in avocado cell suspensions, it was detected only after 2 h following inoculation of pericarp tissue. Protein kinase inhibitors such as K-252a and staurosporine and the phosphatase inhibitor microcystin-LR inhibited the release of H(2)O(2) from avocado cell suspensions. When 1 mM H(2)O(2) was exogenously applied to pericarp tissue, it enhanced ROS, phenyl-alanine ammonia lyase (PAL) activity, and epicatechin levels. But, when H(2)O(2) treatment was applied following staurosporine treatment, PAL activity was no longer induced. The uninduced ROS production in pericarp tissue of freshly harvested, unripe, resistant fruit was twice as high as in ripe, susceptible fruit. Challenge inoculation of resistant fruit further increased the ROS level; however, this increase did not occur in susceptible fruits. The current findings are consistent with the hypothesis that production of ROS is induced by fungal infection of unripe fruits and, consequently, may modulate resistance, resulting in the inhibition of fungal development and quiescence.  相似文献

The expression of the avocado homologue avfad9 encoding Δ9-stearoyl-ACP desaturase was enhanced by multiple stimuli: inoculation with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, exposure to ethylene or CO2, low temperature (4 °C) and fruit wounding. This enhanced expression was correlated with an increase in the preformed antifungal (Z, Z)-1-acetoxy-2-hydroxy-4-oxo-heneicosa-12,15-diene. Treatments of fruits with ethylene that enhanced the up-regulation of avfad9 also increased the concentration of 18:2 fatty acid and the incorporation of 14C-linoleate into the antifungal diene. Fruits with enhanced Δ9stearoyl-ACP desaturase expression were more resistant to C. gloeosporioides. It is suggested that the enhanced Δ9stearoyl-ACP desaturase expression is involved in elevation of unsaturated 18:2. It is also concluded that similar treatments enhance the incorporation of labeled 18:2 into the antifungal diene and elicit the concurrent enhanced resistance to fungal attack.  相似文献

Exposure of freshly harvested avocado fruits to different concentrations of CO2 (11, 16 and 30%) for different lengths of time (4, 17 and 26 h) affected the decay development caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The delay in symptom development depended on the treatment given, the temperature regime of the fruit and time after harvest for treatment application. The most appropriate treatment was the application of 30% CO2 for 24 h at a temperature of 20-25 C on the day of harvest. Treatment for shorter time periods, at lower temperatures or 50 h after harvest, resulted in a reduced response and, in some cases, enhanced symptom expression. Concentrations of 11 or 16% CO2 were less effective than 30% CO2 as the fruits became more mature. It is concluded that treatment of avocado fruits with high levels of CO: for a short period has the potential to provide an alternative means of controlling anthracnose.  相似文献

Microscopic investigations were conducted into the interaction of Colletotrichum acutatum on white and red strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa) fruit surfaces. The results showed that, whilst the early interaction events were similar in both white and red fruits, after 24 h fungal colonization dramatically varied: in white fruits C. acutatum became quiescent as melanized appressoria, but on red fruits it displayed subcuticular necrotrophic invasion. A microarray analysis of white and red strawberries after 24 h of interaction with C. acutatum was performed, in order to reveal differences in gene expression possibly related to the different susceptibility of unripe and ripe fruits. Epi/catechin‐related genes and fatty acid metabolism genes, involved in the production of quiescence‐related molecules such as flavan‐3‐ols, proanthocyanidins and antifungal dienes, were found to be regulated during strawberry ripening, supporting a role for these molecules as preformed defence mechanisms. Besides several genes commonly regulated upon pathogen interaction, different genes were specifically transcribed only in white or red challenged fruits; a number of these, such as those coding for lectin and polyphenol oxidase, possibly account for specific pathogen‐induced responses. The putative biological role of these genes in the different susceptibility of fruits to C. acutatum is discussed.  相似文献

Unripe wood apple fruit is generally free from visible fungal growth before and at harvest but a succession of fungi appears on the fruit shell, and sometimes in the pulp, during ripening. A TLC- Cladosporium bioassay of the chloroform extract taken from unripe fruit shell demonstrated three inhibition areas. Similar extracts from stem-bark and root-bark produced these three, and one additional, inhibition areas. The four compounds responsible for inhibition were identified as psoralene, xanthotoxin, 2,6-dimethoxybenzoquinone and osthenol.
Concentrations of the three antifungal compounds on unripe fruit shell increased during the first 4 days after harvest and then declined. They remained much below those required to inhibit the development of three fungi on TLC plates. Titratable acidity of the unripe fruit pulp was high but decreased by about 50% during ripening. Levels of reducing sugars were very low in the unripe fruit pulp but increased by about five times during ripening. Levels also increased in the fruit shell and its washings. The possible role of these factors in restricting fungal growth in unripe fruits is discussed.  相似文献

Pod rot causes up to 30 % losses in world cocoa production. In order to predict the risk evolution of disease, it is important to take into consideration the developmental stage of fruits. In fact, it has been shown that the risk of attack by pod rot depends amongst others on the developmental stage of fruits. We proposed here to estimate the susceptibility at different stages. Susceptibility of fruit to disease was investigated at three fruit developmental stages (cherelle, young pod and adult pod); disease severity was assessed in laboratory conditions, on detached, artificially inoculated fruits, while disease incidence was assessed in the field, under natural inoculum pressure. In both assessment fruits at the cherelle stage were the most susceptible whereas the young and adult fruits were equally susceptible. The vertical position of the fruits on the tree did not influence their susceptibility. Estimates of the fruit susceptibility and of the infectious potential were derived from the severity and incidence measurements, using a model assuming that the number of spores on a fruit follows a Poisson distribution with the mean, the density of spores per fruit as the parameter. The estimated parameter values allowed the evaluation of the probability of attack of a fruit by the disease, which could be implemented in a disease warning system.  相似文献

To identify the causal organism of anthracnose (ripe-rot), which reduces yield and postharvest quality of blueberries grown in British Columbia, Canada, 80 isolates were recovered from diseased fruits collected from commercial blueberry fields during 2002–04 and identified as Colletotrichum acutatum using colony morphology, growth rate and species-specific PCR primers. In vitro incubation of replicated sets of inoculated detached berries at various temperatures produced infection at temperatures of 7–30°C, with an optimum at 20°C. Colletotrichum acutatum could not survive on the soil surface as mummified berries but the pathogen was detected mostly within flower buds and less so in blueberry twigs and fruit trusses. Infection of developing flower buds in May–June of the preceding growing season gave the highest inoculum recovery in the following year. Two commercial fungal biocontrol agents, Prestop ( Gliocladium catenulatum ) and PlantShield ( Trichoderma harzianum ), each reduced anthracnose development in 2003 and 2004 by up to 45% when sprayed three times onto plants between flowering and fruit ripening.  相似文献

Citrus leaf and fruit spot disease caused by Phaeoramularia angolensis is a serious production constraint in tropical Africa. In previous studies, essential oils extracted from fruit peels of two tolerant varieties exhibited a strong antifungal activity in vitro against P. angolensis as compared to oils from susceptible ones. In order to investigate if the susceptibility of citrus varieties is associated with the antifungal activity of their essential oils, some 22 varieties of different susceptibility levels (tolerant, susceptible and highly susceptible) and belonging to different botanical groups were studied. Oils extracted from fruit peels were evaluated for their activity against radial growth and sporulation using the poisoned food technique. The optimal doses for growth inhibition and conidial reduction were 2500 and 1000 ppm, respectively. At these doses, radial growth and sporulation exceeded the untreated control respectively for four and nine varieties suggesting that oils from these varieties promote fungal development. In general, oils from the tolerant group were most effective in reducing radial growth irrespective of dose. The highly susceptible group ranked first in reducing sporulation at dose 1000 ppm (45.93%) while at higher doses of about 2000–2500 ppm, oils from the tolerant varieties could reduce sporulation up to 100%. The marked dose effect in reducing sporulation suggests that there may be different compounds acting with changing dose. Botanically, oils from pummelo (Citrus maxima, tolerant group), were best in reducing radial growth (>87% inhibition) while those from grapefruits (C. paradisi, highly susceptible group) were most effective in reducing sporulation (>64% reduction).  相似文献

Anthracnose, caused byColletotrichum gloeosporioides, is the major disease of almond in Israel. Pathogen attack of young fruit results in fruit rot and leaf wilting. Seventy isolates ofC. gloeosporioides were obtained from affected almond fruits collected at 11 sites during 1991–2 and 1994. Chlorate-resistant nitrate-nonutilizing (nit) mutants were generated from each isolate and used in complementation (heterokaryon) tests. The formation of complementary stable heterokaryons between mutants from different isolates showed that all the isolates belonged to a single vegetative compatibility group. Representative isolates ofC. gloeosporioides from almond did not form heterokaryons with local isolates ofColletotrichum from anemone and avocado, indicating that the almond isolates constitute a distinct subspecific group withinC. gloeosporioides.  相似文献

Beneficial effects of Silicon (Si) on disease control have been shown in a number of plant pathosystems. The present study ascertained the effect of root application of soluble Si on postharvest quality of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) with special reference to the disease development by Fusarium oxysporum. Plants were treated with Potassium silicate (Si+) by amending the soil mix (200 mgSi /kg soil). Treatments were started at the four leaf stage and continued up to 28 days at seven days intervals. Soil amendments with Si significantly reduced the postharvest weight loss and extended the shelf life by 2 days through delayed ripening and reduced fungal rot development. Si analysis in bitter gourds, harvested from Si?+?plants revealed that fruit tissues accumulated nearly1.5 times as much silicon (0.54% dry weight) as those grown in control (Si-) mix (0.36% dry weight). Extracts from Si?+?plants exhibited a stronger antifungal activity on thin layer chromatography (TLC) against Cladosporium cladosporioides. Methanolic extracts of fruit pericarp separated on TLC plates showed four antifungal zones at Rf 0.17, 0.51, 0.64 and 0.93. Compound separated at Rf 0.64 was observed in samples from Si?+?and/or challenged with F.oxysporum. Antifungal zone at Rf 0.51 was present only when Si?+?fruits were challenged with the fungus. These results suggest that by using soil application of soluble Si, postharvest quality of bitter gourd can be improved and shelf life can be enhanced by 2 days compared to the control. Enhanced fungitoxic activity may have some role in Si-induced disease resistance againstpostharvest fungal pathogens.  相似文献

甜瓜果实表面生防芽孢杆菌的类群与鉴别   总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8  
 从不同甜瓜果实表面可分离到在LB培养基上生长迅速、菌落形态呈明显差异的4类革兰氏染色阳性细菌。经过生理生化指标的鉴定、菌株间16S rDNA序列和部分特异性基因序列扩增以及种间遗传距离分析,将这4类芽孢杆菌分别鉴定为解淀粉芽孢杆菌(Bacillus amyloliquefaciens)和枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtilis)的3个形态变种。这些芽孢杆菌经继代培养20代后,仍能保持稳定的菌落形态和对灰葡萄孢(Botrytis cinerea)、链格孢(Alternaria alternata)、尖孢镰刀菌(Fusarium oxysporum)、黑曲霉(Aspegillus niger)和粉红单端孢(Trichothecium roseum)等8种果蔬采后病原真菌显著且广谱的拮抗作用。结果表明,甜瓜果实表面广泛分布着具有拮抗性能的枯草芽孢杆菌和其近缘种解淀粉芽孢杆菌,可通过特定培养条件下(LB培养基上37℃培养48h)单菌落的生长速度和菌落外观形态特征快速分离并鉴别它们的类群,为开发甜瓜果实采后保鲜制剂提供理论依据。  相似文献
