ABSTRACT Colletotrichum gloeosporioides forms a specialized infection structure, an appressorium, for host infection. Contacting hard surface induces appressorium formation in C. gloeosporioides, whereas hydrophobicity of the contact surface does not affect this infection-related differentiation. To determine if the calcium/calmodulin-dependent signaling system is involved in prepenetration morphogenesis in C. gloeosporioides pathogenic on red pepper, effects of calcium chelator (EGTA), phospholipase C inhibitor (neomycin), intracellular calcium modulators (TMB-8 and methoxy verampamil), and calmodulin antagonists (chloroproma-zine, phenoxy benzamine, and W-7) were tested on conidial germination and appressorium formation. Exogenous addition of Ca(2+), regardless of concentration, augmented conidial germination, while appressorial differentiation decreased at higher concentrations. Inhibition of appressorium formation by EGTA was partly restored by the addition of calcium ionophore A23187 or CaCl(2). Calcium channel blockers and calmodulin antagonists specifically reduced appressorium formation at micromolar levels. These results suggest that biochemical processes controlled by the calcium/calmodulin signaling system are involved in the induction of prepenetration morphogenesis in C. gloeosporioides pathogenic on red pepper.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Magnaporthe grisea, the causal agent of rice blast, forms a dome-shaped melanized infection structure, an appressorium, to infect its host. Environmental cues that induce appressorium formation in this fungus include the hydrophobicity and hardness of the contact surface and chemicals produced by the host. An elevated concentration of intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) has been implicated in appressorium differentiation in M. grisea. Polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, and sper-mine) are involved in cell growth and differentiation in a wide range of organisms. To understand the role of polyamines in appressorium differentiation in M. grisea, intracellular polyamines were quantified, and the effects of polyamines and polyamine biosynthesis inhibitors on conidial germination and appressorium formation were tested. High levels of polyamines were detected in freshly collected spores, but the levels decreased during conidial germination. Spermidine was found to be the major component. Polyamines and polyamine biosynthesis inhibitors did not affect conidial germination, but polyamines specifically impaired appressorium formation. Furthermore, exogenous addition of cAMP restored appressorium formation inhibited by poly-amines. These results suggest that polyamines may reduce intracellular cAMP levels in M. grisea, leading to the inhibition of appressorium formation.  相似文献

Mannose-binding rice lectin (MRL), which is almost identical to the salt-induced protein SalT, binds to mannose and glucose residues. Expression of the MRL gene in response to infection with Magnaporthe oryzae, the rice blast fungus, was stronger in the incompatible interaction than in the compatible. Transgenic rice plants that constitutively over-expressed MRL strongly suppressed the growth of invasive hyphae of the fungus on leaf sheaths and the development of typical susceptible-type lesions on leaf blades, but did not affect penetration by the fungus in comparison with the wild-type. On a polycarbonate plate, purified recombinant MRL inhibited conidial attachment and appressorium formation but not conidial germination. These results suggest that MRL may play an essential role in disease resistance by suppressing development of M. oryzae in situ.  相似文献

为了解橡胶树2种炭疽病菌的侵染结构发育分化过程,采用平板菌落生长速率法测定了3株胶孢炭疽菌Colletotrichum gloeosporioides和3株尖孢炭疽菌C.acutatum的菌丝生长速率,测量其分生孢子大小,显微观察2种炭疽菌在疏水表面诱导下侵染结构的发育分化过程。结果表明,胶孢炭疽菌菌丝生长速率为0.96~1.36 cm/d,显著高于尖孢炭疽菌的菌丝生长速率0.72~0.89 cm/d,但二者分生孢子大小无显著差异。在疏水表面诱导下,2种炭疽菌分生孢子在接种2~6 h后开始萌发,12 h孢子萌发率为71.70%~88.05%,13~16 h开始分化附着胞,24 h附着胞形成率为48.99%~70.74%,36 h菌丝诱发形成大量附着枝,48 h后分生孢子产生的次生菌丝也可诱发形成附着枝,附着枝呈圆形、姜瓣形、梨形或不规则形。分生孢子极易产生,可在菌丝顶端成簇或菌丝侧面排列产生,也可由分生孢子形成的芽管产生,或在芽管分化附着胞过程分枝形成分生孢子;附着胞多着生于芽管顶端,少数附着胞顶端可继续萌发类似短芽管结构,再次分化形成可黑色化的次级附着胞。表明橡胶树2种炭疽菌不同菌株间分生孢子萌发时间、孢子萌发率、附着胞形成时间和形成率有一定差异,但种间无明显差异;橡胶树炭疽菌分生孢子极易形成,在疏水表面容易分化形成附着胞和附着枝,说明具有极强的适生性。  相似文献

The antifungal activities of hyoscyamine and scopolamine, major alkaloids extracted from the desert plant Hyoscyamus muticus, against two rice pathogens, Magnaporthe oryzae and Rhizoctonia solani, were studied. The minimum inhibitory concentration of hyoscyamine that resulted in distinctive inhibition (MIC50) was 1 μg/ml for both fungi. Exposure to hyoscyamine caused the leakage of electrolytes from the mycelia of both fungi. Hyoscyamine (>1 μg/ml) irreversibly delayed or inhibited conidial germination and appressorium formation in M. oryzae grown on polystyrene plates. Hyoscyamine effectively inhibited the attachment of conidia to the surface of rice (Oryza sativa) leaves and inhibited appressorium formation on the leaves. A high concentration of scopolamine (1000 μg/ml) also delayed or inhibited conidial germination in M. oryzae, but conidial germination was restored after washing the conidia with water. Antifungal activity of hyoscyamine was reduced by scopolamine. Magnaporthe oryzae infection was significantly suppressed (by >95%) in leaves of intact rice plants treated with hyoscyamine (10 μg/ml). Moreover, 10 μg hyoscyamine/ml significantly reduced the disease severity index for sheath blight to ≤0.2, when compared with the disease index of control plants (>7.0). Hyoscyamine (>20 μg/ml) completely inhibited sclerotial germination and development of R. solani by delaying the initiation, maturation, and melanization of the sclerotia. These results suggest that tropane alkaloids may be useful for controlling blast and sheath blight diseases of rice and for studying the mechanisms that regulate conidial germination in M. oryzae and sclerotial germination and development in R. solani.  相似文献

Based on their effect on the infection behavior of Magnaporthe grisea, indole-related compounds were classified into three groups. The first group, including tryptophan, indole-3-butyric acid, indole-3-pyruvic acid, and indole-3-acetamide, did not inhibit infection behavior such as spore germination, appressorium formation, or infection hypha formation in M. grisea. The second, including indole acetic acid, indole-3-acetonitrile, oxindole, and tryptamine inhibited all stages of infection behaviors in a dose-dependent manner. The third, including gramine and indole, did not inhibit spore germination or appressorium formation, whereas it did inhibit infection hypha formation in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that endogenous or exogenously applied indole-related compounds in the second and third groups may contribute to protection in blast-susceptible plants such as rice and barley.  相似文献

An examination was made of the effects of three polyamine biosynthesis inhibitors on germination and appressorium formation by uredospores of the bean rust fungusUromyces viciae-fabea on artificial membranes. The ornithine decarboxylase inhibitor -difluoromethylornithine had no effect on uredospore germination, even when used at 2mM, whereas appressorium formation was reduced by 63% at 0.5 mM and by 99% at 2mM. Methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone), an inhibitor of S-andenosylmethionine decarboxylase, reduced germination when used at 0.025 mM, and at this concentration, appressorium formation was completed prevented. Uredospore germination was unaffected by as much as 3 mM cyclohexylamine, an inhibitor of spermidine esynthase, while appressorium formation was reduced at 1 mM and completely prevented at 3.3 mM. These results support previous suggestions that inhibitors of polyamine biosynthesis exert their main effect on the early stages of fungal development on the leaf surface.Abbreviantions CHA cyclohyxylamine - DFMO -difluoromethylornithine - MGBG methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone)  相似文献

玉米大斑病菌孢子萌发和附着胞形成的影响因素研究   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
 Factors of influence on conidium germination and appressorium formation of Setosphaeria turcica,such as light condition,conidial concentration,nutrient resources and pH value of conidial suspension were studied.There was no significant difference among light treatments.The optimal pH for conidium germination and appressorium formation was 5.0 to 7.0.The exogenous nutrient sources were not the indispensable factors for conidium germination,but 5% sugar solution were more favorable for appressorium formation than the others.Low conidial concentration in suspension (conidia ≤ 104/mL) was propitious to conidium germination and appressorium formation,which were inhibited significantly in higher concentration.It was suggested that the phenomenon was due to the self-inhibitor,a kind of lipophilic substance,existing in the site of conidium germination.  相似文献

Conidial germination and differentiation, the so‐called prepenetration processes, of the barley powdery mildew fungus (Blumeria graminis f.sp. hordei) are triggered in vitro by very‐long‐chain aldehydes, minor constituents of barley leaf wax. However, until now it has not been demonstrated that these cuticle‐derived molecules also play a significant role in the initiation and promotion of the fungal prepenetration processes in vivo, on the surface of a living plant leaf. In the maize (Zea mays) wax mutant glossy11, which is completely devoid of cuticular very‐long‐chain aldehydes, germination and appressorial differentiation of B. graminis were strongly impeded. Spraying the mutant leaf surface with aldehyde‐containing wild‐type wax or pure n‐hexacosanal (C26‐aldehyde) fully restored fungal prepenetration, whereas maize wild‐type leaf surfaces coated with n‐docosanoic acid exhibited reduced conidial germination rates of 23%, and only 5% of the conidia differentiated infection structures. In vitro studies were performed to further corroborate the extensive prevention of fungal germination and differentiation in response to artificial surfaces coated with aldehyde‐deficient maize wax. Because of its phenotype affecting the B. graminis prepenetration processes, the glossy11 mutation of maize may become a valuable molecular target and genetic tool that could provide a means of developing basal powdery mildew resistance in the globally important crops wheat and barley.  相似文献

Magnaporthe oryzae chrysovirus 1 strain A (MoCV1-A) is associated with an impaired growth phenotype of its host fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae. In this report, we assayed the virulence and pathogenicity of MoCV1-A-infected and MoCV1-A-free M. oryzae on rice plants. MoCV1-A infection did not affect virulence-associated fungal traits, such as conidial germination and appressorium formation. However, after punch inoculation of leaves on rice plants, MoCV1-A-infected strain formed smaller lesions than the MoCV1-A-free strain did on all rice varieties tested, showing that MoCV1-A infection resulted in reduced virulence of host fungi in rice plants. In contrast, after spray inoculation of rice seedlings, in some cases, MoCV1-A-infected and MoCV1-A-free strains caused different lesion types (resistance to susceptible, or vice versa) on individual international differential rice varieties. However, we did not find any gain/loss of the fungal avirulence genes by PCR, suggesting that MoCV1-A infection can convert the pathogenicity of the host M. oryzae from avirulence to virulence, or from virulence to avirulence, depending on the rice variety. We also confirmed the correlation of these race conversion events and invasive hyphae growth of the fungi in a leaf sheath inoculation assay. These data suggested that MoCV1-A infection generally confers hypovirulence to the fungal host and could be a driving force to generate physiological diversity, including pathogenic races.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Monilinia fructicola, which causes brown rot in stone fruit, forms appressoria on plant and artificial surfaces. On nectarine, the frequency of appressoria produced by conidial germlings depends to a large degree on the stage of fruit development, with numerous appressoria formed on immature (stage II) nectarine fruit, and no appressoria observed on fully mature fruit (late stage III). On polystyrene surfaces, appressorium formation was increased from <10% of germinated conidia to >95% of germinated conidia when the conidia were washed to remove residual nutrients and self-inhibitors. M. fructicola appressorium formation also appears to be regulated by the topography of the plant surface. On fruit, appressoria formed on stomatal guard cell lips, on the grooves of lateral cells adjacent to stomata or between two epidermal cells, and on the convex surfaces of epidermal cells. Pharmacological effectors indicate that cyclic AMP-, MAP kinase-, and calcium/calmodulin-dependent signaling pathways are involved in the induction and development of appressoria. KN-93, an inhibitor of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, did not inhibit conidial germination but did inhibit appressorium formation and brown rot development on flower petals, suggesting that appressoria are required for full symptom development on Prunus spp. petals.  相似文献

Antifungal activity and target sites of methanolic extract and its constituents from the gall (Galla rhois) caused by the Chinese sumac aphid, Schlechtendalia chinensis, on the nutgall sumac tree, Rhus javanica, were examined. In tests with six phytopathogenic fungi using a whole plant bioassay, the gall extract exhibited good antifungal activity. The biologically active constituents isolated from Galla rhois were characterized as the phenolics methyl gallate and gallic acid by spectroscopic analyses. Methyl gallate was highly suppressive to Magnaporthe grisea, Botrytis cinerea, and Puccinia recondita, whereas gallic acid exhibited good antifungal activity against M. grisea and Erysiphe graminis. These two compounds were ineffective against rice sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani. Methyl gallate did not adversely affect conidial germination (94%) but significantly inhibited appressorium formation (7%) of M. grisea. Moderate and significant inhibition of conidial germination (64%) and appressorium formation (5%) of M. grisea, respectively, were observed with gallic acid. In complementation tests with M. grisea, cAMP and 1,16-hexadecanediol restored significantly and slightly appressorium formation inhibited by methyl gallate and gallic acid, respectively. These results indicate that methyl gallate and gallic acid acted on a cAMP-related signaling pathway regulating appressorium formation in M. grisea.  相似文献

In darkness, most Erysiphe pisi conidia responded rapidly to contact with a hydrophobic artificial substratum and released extracellular material (ECM) in the same way as on pea cuticle. On this substratum and barley leaf epidermis, conidia then produced a germ tube that emerged close to the substratum, contacted it, and differentiated an appressorium. By contrast, on a hydrophilic substratum, ECM release and germination were delayed and infrequent, and germ tubes often emerged and faced away from the substratum toward vertical light, thereby failing to make contact and form appressoria. This finding supported the hypothesis that ECM release is involved in both triggering germination and sensing substratum contact. Exposure to white light dramatically affected the germ tube emergence site so most emerged from a site in the conidial wall facing the light. Lateral light did not affect the frequency of germ tubes making substratum contact; but when lit from above, most germ tubes emerged up, facing away from the substratum. The germ tubes formed in light were longer than those formed in darkness, but no phototropism was found for the elongating tubes. Examination of Blumeria graminis indicated that its conidia and germ tubes are insensitive to white light.  相似文献

Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) caused by Setosphaeria turcica is a major foliar disease of maize. The early-stage infection events of this pathogen on maize leaves are unclear. We investigated the optimum temperature for conidial germination and appressorium formation, and characterized penetration and growth of S. turcica in maize leaf sheath and onion epidermis cells, including use of histological staining to assess plant cell viability. The results showed that the optimum temperature for conidial germination and appressorium formation was 20°C. On the maize leaf sheath, the appressoria were formed by germinated conidia, and penetration on the epidermal cells occurred at 8 h postinoculation (hpi). Round vesicles developed beneath the appressoria. Between 16 and 24 hpi, the branched invasive hyphae invaded three to five adjacent cells at most infection sites. The invasive hyphae tended to move along the cell wall and crossed from one cell to another. In the onion epidermis cells, the appressoria formed at 8 hpi, and in most cases the epidermal cells were penetrated through the juncture of the cell walls. At 16–24 hpi, the primary hyphal terminus swelled to a vesicle. The maize leaf sheath cells died at 8 hpi, whereas the onion cells did not. Our findings documented in detail the penetration and invasive hyphal growth in maize leaf sheath and onion epidermis, as well as viability of plant cells, at the early stages of infection, and provide a foundation for elucidating the underlying mechanism of S. turcica–maize interactions.  相似文献

The obligate biotrophic fungus Golovinomyces orontii causes powdery mildew (PM) disease on its host Arabidopsis thaliana. Most research on the G. orontiiArabidopsis pathosystem uses rosette leaves as experimental materials, so little is known about the behavior of G. orontii on other Arabidopsis organs. We thus conducted microscopic analyses of the PM infection process on leaves, stems, fruits and roots of Arabidopsis. Adaxial and abaxial surfaces of mature rosette leaves supported G. orontii infection, but growth was somewhat suppressed on cauline leaves. Prepenetration processes (germination and appressorium formation) were strongly inhibited on stems, fruits and roots. To test the effect of alterations in the Arabidopsis cuticle on the inhibition of prepenetration processes on stems, we used cuticle mutants of Arabidopsis eceriferum (cer) cer1 and cer3. Both mutants had been characterized for reduction in cuticular wax, but our chlorophyll leaching assay revealed increased cuticle permeability only in cer3. Mature rosette leaves and stems of cer1 and cer3 were inoculated, and prepenetration inhibition on stems was found to be significantly reduced in cer3 but not in cer1. We discuss the function of the cuticle in prepenetration inhibition, as well as our finding on suppression of G. orontii growth and reproduction on cer3 rosette leaves.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Chemical fungicides are a major method of control for plant diseases in spite of potential negative effects on the environment and the appearance of resistant strains. Development of new chemical fungicides has been largely dependent upon in vivo efficacy tests in the greenhouse or in fields, which is in contrast to target-oriented in vitro screening systems widely used in the pharmaceutical field. To establish a target-site-specific screening system for antifungal compounds, specific inhibition on appressorium formation of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea was employed. For many plant-pathogenic fungi, including M. grisea, appressorium formation is an essential step to infect host plants. Among 1,000 culture filtrates of members of the class Actinomycetes and fungi, five (A5005, A5008, A5314, A5387, and A5397) from the class Actinomycetes showed differential inhibitory effects on appressorium formation of M. grisea in a dosage-dependent manner. Three (A5005, A5314, and A5387) of these were further fractionated into ethyl acetate and water fractions. The ethyl acetate fraction of A5005 and both the ethyl acetate and water fractions from A5314 and A5387 inhibited appressorium formation, while conidial germination remained little affected. Inhibition of appressorium formation by the ethyl acetate or water fraction was reversed by the exogenous addition of cyclic AMP. Significantly reduced numbers of conidia with appressoria were observed on rice leaves in the presence of culture filtrates. Furthermore, these culture filtrates also exhibited significant disease control of rice blast in the greenhouse. This rapid and target-oriented screening system could be adopted to screen candidate compounds for rice blast control and could be applicable for other appressorium-forming, plant-pathogenic fungi.  相似文献
