Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis subvar. cauliflora) is susceptible to wilt caused by Verticillium dahliae but broccoli (B. oleracea var. italica subvar. cyamosa) is not. Infection of broccoli and cauliflower by a green fluorescent protein-expressing isolate of V. dahliae was examined using epifluorescence and confocal laser-scanning microscopy to follow infection and colonization in relation to plant phenology. Plant glucosinolate, phenolic, and lignin contents were also assayed at 0, 4, 14, and 28 days postinoculation. V. dahliae consistently infected and colonized the vascular tissues of all cauliflower plants regardless of age at inoculation, with the pathogen ultimately appearing in the developing seed; however, colonization decreased with plant age. In broccoli, V. dahliae infected and colonized root and stem xylem tissues of plants inoculated at 1, 2, or 3 weeks postemergence. However, V. dahliae colonized only the root xylem and the epidermal and cortical tissues of broccoli plants inoculated at 4, 5, and 6 weeks postemergence. The frequency of reisolation of V. dahliae from the stems (4 to 22%) and roots (10 to 40%) of mature broccoli plants was lower than for cauliflower stems (25 to 64%) and roots (31 to 71%). The mean level of aliphatic glucosinolates in broccoli roots was 6.18 times higher than in the shoots and did not vary with age, whereas it was 3.65 times higher in cauliflower shoots than in the roots and there was a proportional increase with age. Indole glucosinolate content was identical in both cauliflower and broccoli, and both indole and aromatic glucosinolates did not vary with plant age in either crop. Qualitative differences in characterized glucosinolates were observed between broccoli and cauliflower but no differences were observed between inoculated and noninoculated plants for either broccoli or cauliflower. However, the phenolic and lignin contents were significantly higher in broccoli following inoculation than in noninoculated broccoli or inoculated cauliflower plants. The increased resistance of broccoli to V. dahliae infection was related to the increase in phenolic and lignin contents. Significant differential accumulation of glucosinolates associated with plant phenology may also contribute to the resistant and susceptible reactions of broccoli and cauliflower, respectively, against V. dahliae.  相似文献

Verticillium wilt of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is a widespread and destructive disease caused by the soil-borne fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae. In this study, a green fluorescent protein (GFP) labelled V. dahliae strain (TV7) was obtained by transforming gfp into defoliating strain V991. Strain TV7 was used to study infection and colonization of wilt resistant cotton cultivar Zhongzhimian KV1 and susceptible cultivar 861 with the aid of confocal laser scanning microscopy. The results showed that initial infection and colonization of V. dahliae in Zhongzhimian KV1 and 861 were similar. Conidia and hyphal colonies formed and penetrated in the root meristematic and elongation zones and in the conjunction of the lateral and main roots. The invaded conidia started to germinate by 2 hpi (hours post-inoculation), penetrated into the root cortex and vascular bundles, eventually colonized in the stem xylem vessels and grew restrictedly in the individual tracheae of both resistant and susceptible cultivars. Moreover, pathogen DNA could be detected by qPCR in roots and stems of both cultivars, but its content in the wilt susceptible cultivar 861 was much higher than that in the wilt resistant cultivar Zhongzhimian KV1. The results indicated that the resistant cultivar has ability to suppress V. dahliae reproduction.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Field-grown winter wheat was inoculated with a beta-glucuronidase-transformed isolate of Cephalosporium gramineum in two field seasons to elucidate the mode of infection in resistant and susceptible cultivars. Colonization of viable root epidermis and cortical cells occurred as soon as 15 days postinoculation and the pathogen was found in the vascular tissues by 20 days postinoculation, well before freezing soil temperatures occurred. Penetration occurred directly through the root epidermis and through wounds adjacent to emerging secondary roots. The pathogen also penetrated through root cap cells and colonized meristematic tissues near root tips to gain access to the vascular system. Lower stem base colonization was observed where the pathogen penetrated directly through the epidermis, wounds, or senescent tissues. Appressorium-like structures, which appeared to aid penetration of cell walls, were often found within cells of both roots and stems after initial colonization. The mechanisms of resistance were not apparent, but less colonization occurred in resistant than in susceptible cultivars.  相似文献

Susceptible and resistant cotton lines were cytologically and histochemically investigated for their defense reactions to a highly aggressive and defoliating strain of Verticillium dahliae, a fungus responsible for vascular wilt. Cytochemistry showed that early responses consisted of reinforcement in structural barriers with polysaccharides, including callose and cellulose. Ultrastructural modifications of parenchyma cells of the vascular tissues were associated with strong production of terpenoids and phenolics. These defense reactions were detected early in roots of the resistant line, one to four days after inoculation, while they were seen later in roots of the susceptible line.  相似文献

ABSTRACT One susceptible and two resistant cultivars of tomato were tested for differences in infection by Ralstonia solanacearum and for the subsequent multiplication, colonization, and production of the wilt-inducing virulence factor, exopolysaccharide I (EPS I). Bacterial ingress into the taproot was fastest in the susceptible cv. Marion, followed by the resistant cvs. L285 (fivefold slower) and Hawaii 7996 (15-fold slower). Once inside the taproot, R. solanacearum colonized, to some extent, almost all regions of the resistant and susceptible plants. However, colonization occurred sooner in the susceptible than in the resistant cultivars, as measured by viablecell counts of bacteria in the midstems. Rates of multiplication and maximum bacterial cell densities were also greater in the susceptible than in the resistant cultivars. Growth experiments utilizing xylem fluid from infected and uninfected plants indicated that neither antimicrobial activities nor reduced levels of growth-supporting nutrients in the xylem fluids were responsible for the reduced bacterial multiplication in the resistant cultivars. Quantification of EPS I in the infected plants, using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, revealed that the bacterial populations in the susceptible cultivar produced greater amounts of EPS I per plant than those in the resistant cultivars. Immunofluorescence microscopy using antibodies against either EPS I or R. solanacearum cells revealed that bacteria and EPS I were distributed throughout the vascular bundles and intercellular spaces of the pith in the susceptible cultivar, whereas in the resistant cultivars, bacteria and EPS I were restricted to the vascular tissues.  相似文献

Verticillium wilt caused by Verticillium dahliae is a disease highly prevalent in newly established olive orchards in Andalucía, southern Spain. Two syndromes of the disease occur in Andalucia, namely apoplexy and slow decline. Apoplexy is characterized by quick dieback of twigs and branches while slow decline consists of rapid drying out of inflorescences together with leaf chlorosis and necrosis. Systematic disease observations carried out in two experimental orchards planted with susceptible cv. Picual indicated that natural recovery of diseased trees occurred over time. Infection and vascular colonization of olive plants by V. dahliae were studied in susceptible (Picual) and resistant (Oblonga) cultivars inoculated with a mildly virulent or a highly virulent cotton-defoliating isolate of V. dahliae. Disease symptoms developed 24–32 days after inoculation in cv. Picual, but at that time plants of cv. Oblonga remained free from symptoms. However anatomical observations and isolations indicated that systemic infections by the two isolates had occurred to a large extent in both cultivars.  相似文献

The severity of fusarium wilt is affected by inoculum density in soil, which is expected to decline during intervals when a non‐susceptible crop is grown. However, the anticipated benefits of crop rotation may not be realized if the pathogen can colonize and produce inoculum on a resistant cultivar or rotation crop. The present study documented colonization of roots of broccoli, cauliflower and spinach by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae, the cause of fusarium wilt of lettuce. The frequency of infection was significantly lower on all three rotation crops than on a susceptible lettuce cultivar, and the pathogen was restricted to the cortex of roots of broccoli. However, F. oxysporum f. sp. lactucae was isolated from the root vascular stele of 7·4% of cauliflower plants and 50% of spinach plants that were sampled, indicating a greater potential for colonization and production of inoculum on these crops. The pathogen was also recovered from the root vascular stele of five fusarium wilt‐resistant lettuce cultivars. Thus, disease‐resistant plants may support growth of the pathogen and thereby contribute to an increase in soil inoculum density. Cultivars that were indistinguishable based on above‐ground symptoms, differed significantly in the extent to which they were colonized by F. oxysporum f. sp. lactucae. Less extensively colonized cultivars may prove to be superior sources of resistance to fusarium wilt for use in breeding programmes.  相似文献

An assay based on electrolyte leakage (LEA) from callus tissue of Solanum spp. treated with culture filtrates of Verticillium dahliae was useful for screening eggplant genotypes for resistance to Verticillium wilt. Loss of electrolytes from the most resistant genotypes was significantly lower than that from the susceptible genotypes when callus tissue was incubated with a 10% filtrate solution of the virulent isolate 122. No difference was detected with filtrate solutions of the avirulent isolate 809 of the fungus. Among the tested genotypes, the S. melongena lines CCR3 and SM19/14 and the wild species S. torvum were the most resistant in the glasshouse tests and released the smallest amounts of electrolytes. The most susceptible cultivars, Lunga Violetta and Giant of China, produced the greatest leakage of electrolytes. LEA performed on stem segments failed to distinguish between susceptible and resistant genotypes of eggplant.  相似文献

Verticillium wilt of olive was first recorded in Syria in mid-1978 and confirmed as due to Verticillium dahliae. This article reports observations made in a comprehensive survey of the disease in nine provinces over 7 years. Percent infection varied from 0.85 to 4.5 in different provinces. Newly planted groves in lowland areas showed more infection than older groves in hilly areas. Isolation of V. dahliae was possible at all times of year. Young trees were more susceptible to wilt than older ones. The performance of 13 local cultivars against wilt was studied under natural field conditions and found to vary greatly from susceptible to resistant. Agricultural practices greatly affect spread of the disease. High disease incidence was observed in irrigated groves compared with non-irrigated, and correlated positively with number of ploughings. Verticillium wilt causes a loss between 1 and 2.3% of total olive production annually.  相似文献

Mechanism of broccoli-mediated verticillium wilt reduction in cauliflower   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
ABSTRACT Broccoli is resistant to Verticillium dahliae infection and does not express wilt symptoms. Incorporation of broccoli residues reduces soil populations of V. dahliae. The effects of broccoli residue were tested on the colonization of roots by V. dahliae, plant growth response, and disease incidence of both broccoli and cauliflower in soils with different levels of V. dahliae inoculum and with or without fresh broccoli residue amendments. The three soils included a low-Verticillium soil, a high-Verticillium soil, and a broccoli-rotation soil (soil from a field after two broccoli crops) with an average of 13, 38, and below-detectable levels of microsclerotia per g of soil, respectively. Cauliflower plants in broccoli-amended high-Verticillium soil had significantly (P 相似文献

Verticillium dahliae is a soilborne fungus that causes Verticillium wilt on multiple crops in central coastal California. Although spinach crops grown in this region for fresh and processing commercial production do not display Verticillium wilt symptoms, spinach seeds produced in the United States or Europe are commonly infected with V. dahliae. Planting of the infected seed increases the soil inoculum density and may introduce exotic strains that contribute to Verticillium wilt epidemics on lettuce and other crops grown in rotation with spinach. A sensitive, rapid, and reliable method for quantification of V. dahliae in spinach seed may help identify highly infected lots, curtail their planting, and minimize the spread of exotic strains via spinach seed. In this study, a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay was optimized and employed for detection and quantification of V. dahliae in spinach germplasm and 15 commercial spinach seed lots. The assay used a previously reported V. dahliae-specific primer pair (VertBt-F and VertBt-R) and an analytical mill for grinding tough spinach seed for DNA extraction. The assay enabled reliable quantification of V. dahliae in spinach seed, with a sensitivity limit of ≈1 infected seed per 100 (1.3% infection in a seed lot). The quantification was highly reproducible between replicate samples of a seed lot and in different real-time PCR instruments. When tested on commercial seed lots, a pathogen DNA content corresponding to a quantification cycle value of ≥31 corresponded with a percent seed infection of ≤1.3%. The assay is useful in qualitatively assessing seed lots for V. dahliae infection levels, and the results of the assay can be helpful to guide decisions on whether to apply seed treatments.  相似文献

ABSTRACT The burrowing nematode Radopholus similis is one of the most damaging pathogens on banana plantations. The role of phenolics in plant defense responses to the nematode was histochemically and ultrastructurally investigated in susceptible and partially resistant cultivars. Histochemical observations of healthy roots revealed that high levels of lignin, flavonoids, dopamine, cafeic esters, and ferulic acids were associated with a very low rate of nematode root penetration in the resistant cultivar. The presence of lignified and suberized layers in endodermal cells contributed to limit invasion of the vascular bundle by the pathogen. After infection, flavonoids were seen to accumulate early in walls of cells close to the nematode-migrating channel in both cultivars and in all tissues of the infected resistant roots including the vascular tissues. The labeling pattern obtained with the gold-complexed laccase and with anti-pectin monoclonal antibodies showed that phenolics were distributed in a loosened pectin-rich material surrounding the nematode. This study provides indications that constitutive phenolics in banana roots are associated with the limitation of host penetration and colonization by R. similis. Accumulation of flavonoids in response to infection was detected in the vascular tissues of susceptible plants and in all root tissues in the partially resistant plants.  相似文献

Verticillium wilt of oilseed rape ( Brassica napus ) is caused primarily by Verticillium longisporum and has become a serious problem in northern Europe. In order to evaluate whether V. longisporum and V. dahliae differ in their interaction with oilseed rape, phenotypical and molecular assessments were made. Oilseed rape plants for fungal assessments were inoculated with V. longisporum and V. dahliae via root-dipping and samples were taken from roots, stems, leaves, flowers, pods and seeds during plant development. The infection by V. longisporum was found to start mainly in lateral roots and root-hairs, followed by colonization of the xylem vessels and extensive spread in stems and leaves, whereas V. dahliae infected the main roots and remained in the region below the cotyledon node of the plants. Re-isolation studies, together with PCR analysis of samples taken from early growth stages through to fully ripe plants, showed that the onset of flowering was a critical phase for V . longisporum to colonize plants. No seeds infected with V. longisporum were found. Mycelial growth from V. dahliae but not V. longisporum was significantly reduced on media containing tissue from a low glucosinolate B. napus genotype compared with growth on media containing tissue from a high glucosinolate cultivar. The results of this study suggest that V. longisporum favours B. napus as host and that the transition from the vegetative to the generative phase is of importance for the spread of the fungus in oilseed rape plants.  相似文献

Fifty-seven wild olive accessions collected from the Mediterranean basin were screened under greenhouse conditions for their resistance to verticillium wilt. Plants were root-dip inoculated. One defoliating and one non-defoliating isolate of Verticillium dahliae , both obtained from diseased plants in southern Italy, were used. Plants of the highly susceptible cv. Cima di Mola, frequently used as a rootstock in Apulia, were also included in this test. Disease reactions were evaluated on the basis of external symptoms, vascular browning and by calculating areas under disease progress curves ( audpc ). On the basis of audpc values and external symptom severity, accessions were grouped into four phenotypic groups: highly resistant, moderately resistant, susceptible and highly susceptible. Three accessions showed high resistance to both V. dahliae pathotypes. Forty resistant plants were selected from accessions that had shown the highest levels of resistance. Clones were obtained from each of these plants by in vitro micropropagation for further testing. Ten clones showed the resistance characteristics of their original mother plants, while others suffered greater levels of disease severity than their mother plants. Several new olive rootstocks were identified that were highly resistant to verticillium wilt and could be included in breeding programmes for resistance of olive to V. dahliae .  相似文献

The colonization of the roots of four cultivars of subterranean clover by isolates representing four races of Phytophthora clandestina was studied. There was a highly significant race × cultivar interaction in the growth of inoculated tap roots and the degree of colonization of roots by the pathogen. While all races were able to infect the roots of all cultivars tested, roots of the susceptible cultivars were colonized more rapidly and extensively than those of the resistant cultivars. In compatible combinations, fungal colonization extended for a few centimetres in the tap root and lateral roots in the moderately susceptible cultivars Trikkala and Meteora, or throughout the whole root system leading to the death of the host in the very susceptible cultivar Woogenellup. In contrast, limited fungal colonization of the tap root and lack of extension of the fungus into lateral roots was typical of incompatible combinations. In all cultivars, lateral roots were as susceptible to infection as tap roots. The number of lateral roots of Woogenellup was significantly reduced by infection. However, neither the rate of lateral root formation nor the total number of lateral roots of Seaton Park, Meteora and Trikkala was reduced by infection with virulent or avirulent races of the pathogen.  相似文献

 棉花黄萎病是一种极难防治的土传性真菌病害,研究病原菌侵染棉花的组织学过程对致病机理解析和抗病资源利用具有重要意义。本研究利用绿色荧光蛋白标记的大丽轮枝菌系统研究了其对抗病棉种海岛棉7124和三裂棉、感病棉种军棉1号和戴维逊棉的侵染过程。结果表明,大丽轮枝菌对抗/感棉种的初始侵染没有明显差异,接菌5 h后,分生孢子均能吸附在感病和抗病棉种的根表面。但侵染过程存在显著差异,侵染感病棉种中病原菌3~5 d到达皮层,5~7 d达到维管束,随后迅速扩展繁殖,侵染14 d后即完成系统侵染,并开始产生黄萎病症状;而病原菌侵染抗病棉种,5~7 d才侵入皮层,7~10 d到达维管束,14 d后仍无法扩展,病原菌的定殖与发展受到限制,无法形成系统侵染,较少形成黄萎病症状。本研究通过绿色荧光蛋白标记大丽轮枝菌对抗/感棉种的侵染过程研究,为大丽轮枝菌致病机理研究和抗性资源利用提供了强有力的理论依据。  相似文献

High populations of Pseudomonas solanacearum were detected in some, but not all stems of bacterial wilt resistant ('CRA 66', 'Hawaii 7996' and 'Caraibo') and susceptible ('Floradel') tomatoes. Latent infection, i.e. spread of P. solanacearum into xylem vessels, was confirmed in Caraibo, Hawaii 7996 and 'CRA 66' (the resistant parent of Caraibo). None of the plants within the resistant cultivars wilted and those cultivars were characterized by tolerance of the vascular tissues to high bacterial densities. In contrast, plants of cultivar Floradel showed consistent symptoms and wilted rapidly, with higher mean bacterial density than resistant cultivars. Bacterial wilt resistance was not associated with resistance to bacterial root invasion but with the capability of the plant to limit P. solanacearum colonization in the stem. The extent of bacterial colonization is proposed as a criterion to quantify tolerance, complementary to absence of external wilt symptoms used in breeding programmes for resistance.  相似文献

Soil drench and stem puncture inoculation were compared as methods for selecting cocoa cultivars with resistance to Verticillium dahliae. Disease progress was more rapid and induced symptoms were more severe following stem puncture and, under glasshouse conditions, differences between cultivars were detected 15 days after inoculation. Moreover, using stem puncture, inoculum densities of 104 conidia/ml were sufficient to differentiate resistant and susceptible cultivars, whereas with the soil drench method, inoculum densities of 107 conidia/ml were necessary. Although a substantially higher proportion of plants were affected by stem puncture inoculation, the resistance of cultivar Pound-7 remained effective at high inoculum densities of 108 conidia/ml. With either method, older seedlings were more susceptible to V. dahliae than younger ones. However, with stem puncture, 15-day-old seedlings were sufficiently susceptible for a valid disease assessment. In contrast, with soil inoculation, 60-day-old plants were required. In a nursery trial with 15-day-old seedlings, seven cocoa genotypes previously selected as resistant, moderately resistant or susceptible to Verticillium dahliae , on the basis of root inoculation, were ranked in the same order when stem punctured. Stem puncture inoculation of young seedlings is cost-effective in terms of time and space, and is therefore recommended for screening of cocoa for wilt resistance, especially in large-scale breeding programmes.  相似文献

对棉花抗黄萎病品种（春矮早和８６－ ６）和感病品种（中棉１７和豫棉１２）的根际真菌区系进行了分析。结果表明每个品种都有自己独特的根际微生物区系,抗病品种根际微生物种数多于感病品种,区系组成更为复杂。抗病品种根际真菌优势种主要是漆斑菌 （Ｍｙｒｏｔｈｅｃｉｕｍ ）、粘帚霉（Ｇｌｉｏｃｌａｄｉｕｍ ）、曲霉（Ａｓｐｅｒｇｉｌｌｕｓ）和青霉（Ｐｅｎｉｃｉｌｌｉｕｍ ）等,感病品种则多为头孢霉（Ｃｅｐ ｈａｌｏｓｐｏｒｉｕｍ ）、镰刀菌（Ｆｕｓａｒｉｕｍ ）、矛束孢（Ｄｏｒａｔｏｍｙｃｅｓ）、粘帚霉（Ｇｌｉｏｃｌａｄｉｕｍ ）和漆斑菌（Ｍｙｒｏｔｈｅｃｉｕｍ ）等。采用平板对峙培养法测定了不同抗性棉花品种根际真菌区系各成员对棉花黄萎病菌的抑制作用,发现抗病品种根际真菌区系中对黄萎病菌具有抑制作用的真菌种数和比率都高于感病品种,而且抗病品种根际真菌的优势种对棉花黄萎病菌的抑制作用较强。这种差异在苗期和现蕾期更为明显,花铃期则显著减小。研究结果表明棉花品种对棉花黄萎病的抗性与根际真菌区系组成及其对黄萎病菌的抑制能力有一定关系。  相似文献
