Invasive species often require mutualistic relationships to successfully invade new environments. Insect pollination is an example of a mutualism that is required for seed-set in the invasive species, Rosa multiflora Thunb. (Rosaceae), an obligate outcrosser. To determine the insect pollinators visiting R. multiflora flowers in Iowa, USA, we collected insects on yellow sticky traps placed on plants during the period of blooming and visually observed insects visiting the flowers. The common insect orders that were collected on the sticky traps included Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Mecoptera, and Thysanoptera. Many of the insects found on the sticky cards were known to feed on pollen. However, we did not collect Apidae (bumble bees and honey bees) on the sticky cards. We observed Bombus spp. and Apis mellifera foraging on the flowers. Syrphid flies were the most commonly observed taxa visiting the flowers. Our results indicate that R. multiflora is utilizing common generalist insect pollinators in Iowa and that pollination is not a limiting factor for this invasive species. 相似文献

Isolates of Phytophthora erythroseptica , causal agent of pink rot of potato, were obtained from diseased tubers collected in Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada. In an in vitro assay of field and single-zoospore isolates, all isolates of the pathogen from PEI were sensitive to metalaxyl (EC50 < 0·5 µ g mL−1 ), unlike moderately or highly resistant reference isolates obtained from Maine, USA. Allozyme-banding patterns at the glucose-6-phosphate isomerase ( Gpi ) locus were identical (91/91) for all isolates of P. erythroseptica examined from PEI and Maine, but could be used to distinguish isolates of P. erythroseptica from local isolates of Phytophthora infestans . Inoculation of potato tubers from plants treated with foliar applications of metalaxyl in the field indicated that compounds inhibitory to metalaxyl-sensitive isolates of P. erythroseptica were present in the periderm, even after 4 months' storage. By contrast, moderately or highly resistant isolates of the pathogen caused significantly ( P ≤ 0·05) more disease than sensitive isolates in tubers from plants treated with metalaxyl. The effectiveness of metalaxyl in controlling pink rot in a particular region will depend on resistance levels of local populations of P. erythroseptica . Preventing the development and spread of resistant strains of P. erythroseptica will be critical in maintaining metalaxyl as an effective chemical for control of this pathogen. 相似文献

During the spring of 2001, approximately 10 000 yellow passion flower plants, from two orchards in the county of Livramento de Nossa Senhora, Bahia State, Brazil, exhibited intense yellow mosaic symptoms and drastic reduction of the leaf lamina and plant development. A large population of whiteflies ( Bemisia tabaci ) was also found colonizing the plants. All field samples collected tested positive for Passion fruit woodiness virus in DAS-ELISA. Five out of 20 passion flower plants inoculated with adult whiteflies collected from diseased plants in the field developed symptoms 20–30 days after inoculation. Two of these plants gave a positive reaction in TAS-ELISA using antiserum against a begomovirus. Degenerated PCR primers amplified viral DNA fragments from the DNA-A and DNA-B components of a begomovirus infecting these plants. The fragment corresponding to the core region of the coat protein (DNA-A) was cloned and sequenced. A phylogenetic analysis placed this begomovirus isolated from passion flower in the same clade of the New World begomoviruses as several other species from Brazil. Based on the symptoms induced by this virus alone, the disease was tentatively named passion flower little leaf mosaic. 相似文献

Lesions of Phytophthora infestans were found on woody nightshade ( Solanum dulcamara ), black nightshade ( S. nigrum ) and S. sisymbriifolium during a nationwide late blight survey in the Netherlands in 1999 and 2000. Pathogenicity and spore production of P. infestans isolates collected from potato ( S. tuberosum ), S. nigrum , S. dulcamara and S. sisymbriifolium were determined on several host plant species, and oospore formation in naturally infected and inoculated foliage of hosts was quantified. The present population of P. infestans in the Netherlands is pathogenic on S. nigrum , S. dulcamara and S. sisymbriifolium . Oospores were produced in leaves of S. nigrum , S. dulcamara and S. sisymbriifolium following infection with A1 and A2 isolates. Therefore these plant species should be regarded as alternative hosts for the late blight pathogen. In the case of S. nigrum and S. dulcamara infection was a relatively rare event, suggesting that diseased plants do not significantly contribute to the overall late blight disease pressure present in potato-production areas. Oospore production in ageing S. nigrum and S. dulcamara plants in autumn, however, may generate a considerable source of (auto) infections in following years. Considerable numbers of sporangia and oospores were produced on S. sisymbriifolium following infection with P. infestans . Additional field infection data are needed to evaluate the epidemiological consequences of a commercial introduction of S. sisymbriifolium as a potato cyst nematode trap crop. 相似文献

Rosa multiflora Thunb. (Rosaceae), an invasive plant that currently infests millions of hectares in the eastern half of the USA, was planted initially in the 1940s as a “living fence”, cover for game animals and for erosion control. The larvae of Megastigmus aculeatus var. nigroflavus Hoffmeyer (Hymenoptera: Torymidae) feed on the developing R. multiflora seeds and have the potential to reduce the seed output of R. multiflora. Rosehips were collected from 49 sites across eastern and southern Iowa, USA, to determine the presence and distribution of M. aculeatus, the larvae of which were found in 266 of the 979 (27%) rosehips that were dissected and at 31 of the 49 sites (63%) that were sampled. The levels of M. aculeatus infestation over 2–3 years were determined at three selected sites and it was documented that more seeds were aborted than were viable or contained wasp larvae. A negative relationship was observed between the numbers of both the aborted and the viable seeds and the probability of a rosehip being attacked by M. aculeatus, indicating that M. aculeatus females are not preferentially selecting rosehips with higher numbers of viable or aborted seeds for oviposition. There is a significant reduction in both the viable seeds and the aborted seeds in hips that have been attacked by M. aculeatus. Detailed knowledge of R. multiflora demography is necessary to determine the level of seed predation that is required to reduce the recruitment of new individuals into the population. 相似文献

Transmission of pectinolytic Erwinia species from infected mother tubers to daughter tubers has been studied mainly through detection tests, carried out at harvest, on limited samples of tubers produced by plants grown from artificially inoculated mother tubers. However, detection has not been performed on samples collected at different stages of crop development, in order to follow the contamination progress in different organs through the plants to the progeny tubers. In this study the bacterial contamination of progeny tubers was investigated by detecting Erwinia carotovora ssp. atroseptica in different symptomless plant organs (stolons, stems, progeny tubers) and in the parts with or without symptoms of diseased stems, collected at various stages of crop development. Infection levels in below- and above-ground organs of plants of two cultivars differing in their resistance to Erwinia, infected by either vacuum infiltration or sand wounding, were monitored throughout the growing season and at harvest using DAS-ELISA and PCR. Detection tests showed that healthy organs from symptomless plants were less frequently contaminated than symptomless organs from diseased plants, and that stolons were precociously and more frequently contaminated than stems and daughter tubers, irrespective of the health of the plant. Stem infections were shown to progress latently in the stem, bacteria usually being recovered 10–15 cm past visible lesions. In many cases, typical aerial stem-rot symptoms could be related to this upward movement of bacteria from the infected mother tuber. Daughter tubers without symptoms were shown to be frequently contaminated, usually at heel ends, suggesting internal contamination from mother tuber to progeny. 相似文献

Phyllody is a destructive disease of sesame in Turkey. The disease has been causing significant economic losses by stunting the plants and altering their floral parts into leafy structures with no capsule and hence no seeds in sesame fields of the country. This research was undertaken to examine symptomatology, etiology, taxonomy and transmission of two recently discovered phyllody phytoplasmas infecting sesame in Turkey. Direct and nested PCR amplifications of 16S rRNA gene with the phytoplasma-specific universal primers P1/P7 and R16F2n/R2, respectively were employed for identification of the phytoplasmas associated with sesame phyllody. Phytoplasma-specific PCR amplicons of 1.8 kb and 1.2 kb were amplified only from symptomatic sesame plants and insect vector samples. Sequencing of the PCR amplicons and computer simulated restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis allowed classification of the phytoplasmas with pigeon pea witches’-broom (16SrIX-C) and peanut witches’-broom (16SrII-D) groups. The sequence homology and phylogenetic analyses further confirmed this classification. Among the insects collected from the sesame fields, the leafhopper Orosius orientalis Matsumara (Syn: O. albicinctus Distant) was the only vector proven to transmit the sesame phyllody phytoplasmas from diseased to healthy sesame plants in transmission assays. The results demonstrated that the 16SrIX-C and 16SrII-D group phytoplasmas were the agent of sesame phyllody and O. orientalis was the vector insect of the disease in Turkey. 相似文献

Pestalotiopsis isolates obtained from the foliage, stem-base and roots of diseased container-grown ericaceous crops (Calluna, Erica, Pieris and Rhododendron) collected from UK nurseries were identified as Pestalotiopsis sydowiana (Bresad) B Sutton on the basis of conidia morphology. Inoculum sources of the pathogen included diseased stock plants, crop debris, nursery soils, used growing media, pots and floor covering, and dust collected from greenhouse walkways. Isolates were not host-specific and infected other species of ericaceous plants, with typical symptoms including browning of foliage, stems and roots, and the presence of black or greenish black acervuli on diseased tissue. The optimum temperature for growth of three selected isolates of the pathogen was 20-25 degrees C, with little or no growth occurring below 5 or above 30 degrees C. Growth occurred over pH 2.6-8.6, with optimum at 5.5. Decreases in matric potential from -0.3 to -4.0 MPa reduced growth, which was totally inhibited at -6.5 MPa. Greenhouse trials were conducted to evaluate the effects of disease management methods (irrigation, flooring/pot disinfection and fungicide application) on control of the pathogen on potted plants of C vulgaris. Disease incidence and foliar browning caused by P sydowiana were less on fungicide-treated (five-spray programme of alternating prochloraz and carbendazim) potted plants watered by sub-irrigation compared with watering from overhead. Single and combined treatments of flooring/pot disinfection (hydrogen peroxide/peracetic acid) and the five-spray fungicide programme significantly reduced disease incidence and severity compared with dipping pots in water. The combined disinfection and fungicide programme significantly reduced disease incidence and severity, compared to disinfection or fungicide application alone. The importance of these findings for the integrated control of P sydowiana on ericaceous plant nurseries is discussed. 相似文献

Papaya ringspot virus type P (PRSV‐P) systemically infects Carica papaya and species belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae. Attempts to recover PRSV‐P from naturally infected cucurbit plants grown near or among diseased papaya trees have shown conflicting results worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate the natural infection of cucurbit species grown among and near papaya trees infected with PRSV‐P in Brazil. Natural infection of cucurbits with PRSV‐P occurred in zucchini squash but not in watermelon and cucumber. However, several attempts to recover PRSV‐P from numerous Cucurbita pepo cv. Caserta (zucchini squash) plants grown 5–80 m from diseased papaya trees in the field failed. Mechanical inoculations of Cucurbita pepo cv. Caserta, Cucurbita maxima cv. Exposição (pumpkin), Cucumis sativus cv. Primepack Plus (cucumber) and Citrullus lanatus cv. Crimson Sweet (watermelon) with five Brazilian PRSV‐P isolates showed that zucchini squash was the most susceptible species followed by watermelon and cucumber, while pumpkin was not infected. The results confirmed the variable susceptibility of cucurbit species to experimental and natural PRSV‐P infection. Given these facts, the control of the disease through roguing should focus mainly on diseased papaya plants, as has been practised successfully in Brazil for many years, and on those cucurbits particularly known to be susceptible to natural infection with PRSV‐P. 相似文献

Xanthomonas campestris is a seedborne bacterium that causes black rot of crucifers. Substantial crop losses may result from the rapid spread of the bacteria under favourable conditions, especially those occurring during seedling production. A PCR-based method has been developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of the pathovars of X. campestris that affect crucifers. Primers were designed to specifically amplify a 619 bp fragment of the hrpF gene from X. campestris . Amplification products were not detected from other Xanthomonas species, or from other pathogenic or epiphytic bacteria occurring on these plants. To avoid false-negative results arising from the presence of amplification inhibitors in plant extracts, primers targeting a 360 bp section of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region from Brassica spp. were included in a multiplex PCR. The assay readily detected X. campestris pv. campestris infections in diseased plants and from bacterial colonies isolated on growth media, and was more sensitive and specific than traditional plating methods and a commercially available ELISA. A seed-washing protocol was optimized to allow the detection of a single artificially infected seed among 10 000 healthy seeds using the multiplex PCR. 相似文献

Field resistance of Echinochloa spp. to propanil has been previously reported in Costa Rica, Colombia and Arkansas (USA). In this study, the mechanism of resistance was investigated in three resistant (R) and three susceptible (S) biotypes. The shoot fresh weight reduction in pot-grown plants from a post-emergence spray of propanil at 2.44 kg a.i. ha−1 on biotypes R/S from Costa Rica, Colombia and Arkansas was 35/98%, 25/79% and 20/82% respectively. In vitro chlorophyll fluorescence data from leaf tissue incubated in propanil showed that photosynthesis was inhibited in all biotypes, indicating that the propanil-binding site and enzyme were not altered. After transfer to herbicide-free solution, photosynthesis recovered only in resistant biotypes, indicating that the mechanism of resistance was caused by enhanced metabolism of the herbicide. Simultaneous treatment with fenitrothion, an aryl acylamidase inhibitor, prevented the recovery of photosynthesis in leaf tissue in two resistant biotypes. In contrast, the cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenase inhibitor, 1-aminobenzotriazole, did not prevent recovery from propanil in leaf tissue. Application of 14 C-propanil to the second leaf of intact Echinochloa plants showed that c . 90% of the radioactivity remained in the treated leaf for up to 72 h after application. No major differences in translocation between R and S biotype plants were found. TLC analysis of tissue extracts from the treated leaves showed substantially less radioactivity associated with propanil, present after 72 h in rice or in the three R biotypes, compared with S biotypes. 相似文献

Investigations into Encephalartos insect pests and diseases in South Africa and identification of Phytophthora cinnamomi as a pathogen of the Modjadji cycad 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 South Africa holds the greatest diversity of Encephalartos species globally. In recent years several reports have been received of Encephalartos species in the country dying of unknown causes. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of, and identify the causal agents of, diseases of Encephalartos species in the Gauteng and Limpopo Provinces of South Africa. Plant material with symptoms and insects were collected from diseased plants in private gardens, commercial nurseries and conservation areas in these regions. Insects collected were identified based on morphology, and microbial isolates based on morphology and DNA sequence data. Insect species identified infesting cultivated cycads included the beetle Amorphocerus talpa, and the scale insects Aonidiella aurantii, Aspidiotus capensis, Chrysomphalus aonidum, Lindingaspis rossi, Pseudaulacaspis cockerelli, Pseudaulacaspis pentagona and Pseudococcus longispinus. Fungal species isolated from diseased plants included species of Diaporthe, Epicoccum, Fusarium, Lasiodiplodia, Neofusicoccum, Peyronellaea, Phoma, Pseudocercospora and Toxicocladosporium. The plant pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi was identified from E. transvenosus plants in the Modjadji Nature Reserve. Artificial inoculation studies fulfilled Koch's postulates, strongly suggesting that P. cinnamomi is responsible for the deaths of these plants under field conditions. 相似文献

Elimination of ornithogalum mosaic virus from chincherinchee (Ornithogalum thyrsoides) by meristem tip culture, and field trials of reinfection 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Meristem domes excised from plantlets of Ornithogalum thyrsoides infected with ornithogalum mosaic virus (OrMV) in Kenya were cultured on basic Murashige and Skoog medium without added growth hormones. Of the resulting plantlets 30% were virus-free as determined by symptom appearance, mechanical inoculation to virus-free O. thyrsoides , electron microscopy and serological tests. When healthy plants were placed within a field of diseased O. thyrsoides , 35% became re-infected within 4 months and 100% infection was reached within 8 months. However, healthy plants placed in isolation, about 2 km downwind of infected commercial plantings, remained healthy over the 12-month test period. 相似文献

Fireblight has been present in Belgium since 1972. An official monitoring project to prevent the spread of the pathogen started in 1978, combining regulations and large-scale surveys. The most important regulations concern: (a) the concentration of nurseries in officially designated protected zones; (b) prohibition of the growing of highly susceptible Cotoneaster spp.; (c) the supervision of hawthorn hedges; (d) the eradication of diseased host plants. In the surveys, diseased or suspect plant material is diagnosed and Erwinia amylovora populations are monitored on leaves, flowers and buds, sampled from apparently healthy plants during field inspection. The laboratory methods are mainly serological and consist of: (a) direct isolation and testing of suspect colonies by agglutination; (b) screening of samples using indirect immunofluorescence; (c) selective enrichment on immature pear slices. A review of 8 years' work is presented and discussed, illustrated with results of experiments. 相似文献
