Antibiosis is assumed to be an essential mechanism exerted by potential biocontrol agents (BCAs) of Trichoderma spp. Therefore, in the present study, we report for the first time on the elucidation and production of viridiofungin A (VFA) from T. harzianum isolate T23 cultures and investigate the antifungal potential of VFA and some other secondary metabolites purified from T. harzianum cultures against Fusarium moniliforme. The bioautography assay revealed that T. harzianum isolates T16 and T23 excreted several secondary metabolites with antifungal activity. Following isolation and purification of the antifungal zones, three fractions (F223, F323 and F423) from extracts of isolate T23 and two fractions (F416 and F516) from extracts of isolate T16 exhibited pronounced fungitoxic activity in the bioautography and antibiotic disk assays against Cladosporium spp. and F. moniliforme, respectively. The structure of the antifungal metabolite in fraction F323 was identified as viridiofungin A (VFA), the first report of production of VFA by isolate T23 of T. harzianum. Following cultivation of isolate T23 in PDB medium for 9 days, 94.6 mg l−1 of VFA were determined. VFA and fraction F516 retarded the mycelial growth of F. moniliforme in the non-volatile phase assay by >90% for each 250 μg ml−1 7 days post-inoculation (dpi). While VFA and fraction F416 showed both volatile and non-volatile effects, fraction F516 seemed to exhibit mainly non-volatile activity. Microscopic examination revealed that hyphae of F. moniliforme grown on VFA-amended medium were less branched and appeared thicker than untreated hyphae. Furthermore, in the presence of VFA, formation of chlamydospores by F. moniliforme was increased. Finally, the antifungal spectrum of VFA towards various important plant pathogens was evaluated. Germination of propagules of a variety of fungal pathogens in vitro was differentially inhibited by VFA. While in the presence of 100 μg ml−1 VFA conidial germination of V. dahliae was completely inhibited, a slightly higher concentration (150 μg ml−1) of the inhibitor was required to suppress germination of Phytophthora infestans sporangia or sclerotia of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Contrary to several reports in the literature, VFA proved to be fungistatic rather than fungicidal. However, neither VFA nor the other Trichoderma metabolites, such as 6PAP, F416 and F516, exhibited any antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.  相似文献

Native Trichoderma spp. were isolated from agricultural fields in several regions of Ecuador. These isolates were characterized via morphological observation as well as molecular phylogenetic analysis based on DNA sequences of the rDNA internal transcribed spacer region, elongation factor-1α gene and RNA polymerase subunit II gene. Fifteen native Trichoderma spp. were identified as T. harzianum, T. asperellum, T. virens and T. reesei. Some of these strains showed strong antagonistic activities against several important pathogens in Ecuador, such as Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Panama disease) and Mycosphaerella fijiensis (black Sigatoka) on banana, as well as Moniliophthora roreri (frosty pod rot) and Moniliophthora perniciosa (witches’ broom disease) on cacao. The isolates also showed inhibitory effects on in vitro colony growth tests against Japanese isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, Alternaria alternata and Rosellinia necatrix. The native Trichoderma strains characterized here are potential biocontrol agents against important pathogens of banana and cacao in Ecuador.  相似文献

Conidia ofUncinula necator inoculated on vine leaf disks were exposed to different irradiation conditions during various combinations of irradiation periods. In controlled experiments at constant leaf temperature spore germination and mycelial growth were negatively affected by the UV B doses, irrespective of the exposition duration. In semi-controlled condition experiments, conidia were exposed to shaded, sunny and sunny without UV B radiation conditions. Shaded conditions were always more favourable to spore germination and mycelial growth than sunny conditions. Under two different ranges of temperature (20–24 and 26–31 °C for shaded conditions), the effect of radiation on germination and mycelial growth differed. Thus, the effect of radiation on spore germination and mycelial growth seems to be affected by temperature. In general, radiation effects increased as the number of exposition periods increased, indicating that both spore germination and mycelial growth were reduced, but not totally stopped by the different exposures. Germination was most affected by exposures applied just after inoculation, whereas mycelial growth was most affected by exposures applied one day after inoculation. These results indicate that radiation is an important factor to consider for a better understanding of the relationships between climate and grape powdery mildew epidemics.  相似文献

The development of the basidiomycete Moniliophthora perniciosa in resistant and susceptible Theobroma cacao genotypes was analysed. The infection process leading to broom formation in shoot apexes was characterized by studying the kinetics of basidiospore germination, mode of penetration and colonization of the pathogen. Both resistant and susceptible cacao genotypes were inoculated with M. perniciosa and kept in the greenhouse for 90 days, explants were collected, treated for histological studies and meristematic tissues were observed by electron and light microscopy. Variation in the kinetics of germination between the cacao genotypes was detected 4 h after inoculation. The fungal penetration occurred through the star‐shaped trichome base, natural openings on the cuticular surface and stomata. Host responses between genotypes were found to be different. Compared with non‐infected plants, the swelling of all the stem tissues was evident at 60 days after inoculation. In the susceptible genotype, typical symptoms developed and fungal colonization was more intense than in resistant genotypes, which showed little or no fungal colonization. The investigations reported herein provide an important step in understanding the pattern of pre‐ and post‐penetration events of M. perniciosa in cacao genotypes with different levels of resistance to this disease.  相似文献

Frosty pod rot (FPR) (Moniliophthora roreri), along with black pod rot (Phytophthora species) and witches’ broom disease (Moniliophthora perniciosa) constitute the main phytosanitary problems limiting cacao (Theobroma cacao) production causing severe yield losses. One of the main sought after methods of pod rot management is the selection of tolerant cacao genotypes. Typically, the selection is carried out through the quantification of the percentage of diseased pods (PDP). However, PDP does not consider the relative productivity, or production potential (PT) of the genotype. Production potential can vary among cacao genotypes. Consequently, genotypes with similar PT can have similar or vastly different disease tolerance levels as measured by PDP. The disease and production index (DPI) was developed to integrate a genotype's tolerance to M. roreri and other diseases as measured by PDP, with its PT. Here, we evaluated the number of healthy pods, number of diseased pods, and weight of fresh seed for 29 clones grown in replicated five-tree plots over 4 years. The data obtained was used to calculate PDP and DPI for each clone for three different disease combinations: frosty pod rot alone, pod rots other than frosty pod rot, and the combination of all pod rots. Multivariate analysis verified that DPI discriminated between clones based on productivity and disease tolerance. Surprisingly, there was a close ranking of clones between resistance to FPR and resistance to all other pod rots. The DPI can be used in breeding programmes focused on the selection of high yielding disease-tolerant cacao genotypes.  相似文献

Moniliophthora perniciosa, causal agent of witches’ broom disease in cacao plantations in South America and the Caribbean Islands, has co‐evolved with its host cacao, but the pathogen has also emerged in many solanaceous hosts in Brazil, including economically important food crops and wild species. This study was carried out to: (i) determine the existence of host subpopulations of M. perniciosa in Brazil; (ii) estimate gene and genotypic diversity of M. perniciosa host subpopulations infecting solanaceous hosts in southeastern Bahia and Minas Gerais states, Brazil; and (iii) estimate the amount and directionality of historical migration of M. perniciosa subpopulations. Up to 203 M. perniciosa isolates collected from solanaceous hosts with symptoms from Bahia and Minas Gerais states in Brazil and from Theobroma spp. (cacao) and Herrania spp. were characterized with 11 microsatellite markers. Factorial correspondence analyses, minimum‐spanning network and Bayesian clustering revealed genetic clusters associated with their host of origin. Significant subpopulation differentiation was evident (ΦST = 0.30, P ≤ 0.05) among M. perniciosa host subpopulations. Most of the multilocus microsatellite genotypes (MLMGs) were host‐specific, with few MLMGs shared among subpopulations. Pairwise comparisons among M. perniciosa host subpopulations were significant, except between jurubeba (Solanum paniculatum) and cultivated solanaceous subpopulations. The combined analyses rejected the null hypothesis that M. perniciosa in Brazil is a single genetic population not structured by host. These findings support a scenario of introduction and subsequent adaptation to solanaceous hosts that should be taken into consideration to improve mitigation and management of M. perniciosa.  相似文献

It has been reported that Alternaria brassicae, the causal agent of gray leaf spot in Brassica plants, produces a host-specific or host-selective toxin (HSTs) identified as destruxin B. In this study, the role of destruxin B in infection of the pathogen was investigated. Destruxin B purified from culture filtrates (CFs) of A. brassicae induced chlorosis on host leaves at 50–100 μg ml−1, and chlorosis or necrosis on non-host leaves at 250–500 μg ml−1. Destruxin B was detected in spore germination fluids (SGFs) on host and non-host leaves, but not in a sufficient amount to exert toxicity to host plants. When spores of non-pathogenic A. alternata were combined with destruxin B at 100 μg ml−1 and inoculated on the leaves, destruxin B did not affect the infection behavior of the spores. Interestingly, SGF on host leaves allowed non-pathogenic spores to colonize host leaves. Moreover, a high molecular weight fraction (>5 kDa) without destruxin B obtained by ultrafiltration of SGF had host-specific toxin activity and infection-inducing activity. From these results, we conclude that destruxin B is not a HST and does not induce the accessibility of the host plant which is essential for colonization of the pathogen. In addition, the results with SGF imply that a high molecular weight HST(s) is involved in the host–pathogen interaction.  相似文献

Trichoderma SKT-1 was previously reported as a powerful biological control agent against seedborne pathogens of rice, but the taxonomic disposition of the fungal isolate was not clear. Trichoderma SKT-1 produced irregular pyramidal warts on conidia and had an optimum growth temperature of 30°C. Morphological characteristics and colony growth were identical to those of known species of Trichoderma, including the newly recognized species T. asperellum. The 5.8S rDNA with the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region (ca. 514 bp) of the fungus was compared with those of known species to determine the phylogenetic placement of the fungus. The length and sequence of the regions from Trichoderma SKT-1 were completely identical to those of an isolate of T. asperellum NRRL 5242 (AJ230669). On the basis of these results, we concluded that Trichoderma SKT-1 was T. asperellum.  相似文献

Damping-off and stem rot disease-causing Sclerotium rolfsii has been reported as a destructive soil-borne pathogen of numerous crops, especially in the tropics and subtropics. Trials were conducted to test the efficacy of biocontrol agents alone or combined with Moringa oleifera leaf extracts for the control of the disease. In the laboratory, PDA was amended with Moringa leaf extract, and mycelial growth of S. rolfsii was measured. In the greenhouse and field, Trichoderma Kd 63, Trichoderma IITA 508 and Bacillus subtilis were evaluated as seed treatments, soil drench or sprinkle, separately or combined with Moringa leaf extracts. Percentage disease incidence, severity and control were recorded. In the laboratory, the higher the extract concentration the less the mycelial growth and no mycelial growth occurred on extract at 15 or 20 g leaves 10 ml−1 water. In the greenhouse, the highest disease control was observed at a Moringa extract concentration of 15 kg leaves 10 l−1 water (w/v). Seed treatments using Trichoderma Kd 63, and soil sprinkle using Trichoderma IITA 508 had a significantly (P = 0.05) higher effect on a disease incidence than Bacillus. Disease severity followed the same pattern. Moringa seed treatment combined with Trichoderma soil sprinkle resulted in significantly more than 94% and 70% disease control in the greenhouse and field, respectively, with significant yield increase in the field. This is the first report of Moringa leaf extract combined with Trichoderma as an integrated control for Sclerotium damping-off and stem rot of cowpea in the field.  相似文献

This work was undertaken to determine the effects ofTrichoderma spp. combined with label and sublabel rates of metam sodium on survival ofRhizoctonia solani in soil. Soils were infested with wheat bran preparations ofTrichoderma hamatum Tri-4,T. harzianum Th-58,T. virens Gl-3, andT. viride Ts-1-R3. Soil was also infested with sterile beet seeds that were colonized withR. solani. Beet seeds were later recovered, plated onto water agar plus antibiotics, and the growth ofR. solani was recorded. Preliminary experiments showed thatT. hamatum andT. virens reduced survival and saprophytic activity ofR. solani when the biocontrol fungi were incorporated into soil at 1.5% (w:w) or greater. Based on these data, biocontrol fungi in subsequent experiments were incorporated into soil at 2%. Metam sodium at label rate killed all biocontrol fungi andR. solani. At 1:2 and 1:5 dilutions, metam sodium reduced survival ofR. solani and allTrichoderma spp. When biocontrol fungi plus the label rate of metam sodium and 1:5, 1:10, 1:50 or 1:100 dilutions of the label rate were tested together, there were no interactions between any biocontrol agent and the fumigant with respect to colony diameter, reflecting that allTrichoderma isolates tested reacted similarly to increasing concentrations of metam sodium. At the label rate of metam sodium, allTrichoderma spp. significantly reduced colony diameter, but not growth rate, ofR. solani from beet seed. For the levels of metam sodium tested in combination withTrichoderma, it does not appear feasible to use a reduced rate of metam sodium to controlR. solani. However, the combination ofTrichoderma with metam sodium does reduce growth ofR. solani in comparison with that provided by metam sodium at the label rate. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting Feb. 11, 2004.  相似文献

The activity of Trichoderma harzianum in the spermosphere and rhizosphere of different plant species was studied by use of a beta-glucuronidase (GUS) transformant (strain T3a). Hereby, direct observation of micro-habitats supporting metabolic activity of T. harzianum is reported. Germination of conidia and mycelial growth were not supported by exudates from healthy roots of various ages. Instead, growth and activity of T. harzianum depended on access to dead organic substrates such as seed coats, decaying roots, and wounds, including those caused by infecting pathogens. A correlation between the GUS activity of T. harzianum and the biomass of Pythium ultimum in infected roots was established. On the basis of our observations, we suggest that the biocontrol ability of T. harzianum involves competition with the pathogen for substrates including the seed coat, and wounded or infected root tissue.  相似文献

In tomato plants, α-tomatine, a steroidal glycoalkaloid saponin, inhibits fungal growth. Tomato pathogens that produce host-specific toxins, Alternaria alternata tomato pathotype causing Alternaria stem canker and Corynespora cassiicola causing Corynespora target spot, were investigated for sensitivity to α-tomatine. Although spore germination of A. alternata pathogenic and nonpathogenic to tomato and of C. cassiicola pathogenic to tomato was not affected by 0.1 mM α-tomatine, spore germination of C. cassiicola nonpathogenic to tomato was significantly inhibited. This result showed that A. alternata, regardless of its pathogenicity, and only the C. cassiicola pathogenic to tomato are resistant to α-tomatine. Germinating spores of A. alternata and C. cassiicola resistant to α-tomatine detoxified α-tomatine by degrading it to a less polar product. After inoculation of tomato leaves, spores of A. alternata and C. cassiicola nonpathogenic to tomato germinated and formed appressoria, but did not form infection hyphae in host tissues. When a host-specific toxin (CCT-toxin) produced by C. cassiicola pathogenic to tomato was added to nonpathogenic spores, colonization within leaves was observed in A. alternata, but not in C. cassiicola. On the other hand, when spores of C. cassiicola nonpathogenic to tomato were suspended in spore germination fluid of nonpathogenic A. alternata with α-tomatine detoxification activity, the fungus could be induced to colonize leaves in the presence of CCT-toxin. These results indicate that A. alternata tomato pathotype and C. cassiicola pathogenic to tomato detoxify α-tomatine during infection and that this detoxification is essential for host colonization by pathogens that produce host-specific toxins.  相似文献

In this study, actinomycetes and endospore-forming bacteria were isolated from the surface of cacao pods. The activity of these microorganisms againstCrinipellis perniciosa andPhytophthora palmivora, causal agents of witches’ broom and black pod diseases of cacao, respectively, was investigated. A total of 336 isolates of actinomycetes and endosporeforming bacteria were tested on a detached pod assay againstC. perniciosa. The screening procedure used proved to be fast and inexpensive, allowing the selection of five actinomycetes as the most promising isolates for the biocontrol ofC. perniciosa. Under laboratory conditions the actinomycetes were able to inhibit 100% ofC. perniciosa basidiospore germination. However, under field conditions the selected actinomycetes were unable to protect cacao pods against both pathogens. In these experiments, inhibition ofC. perniciosa ranged from 6% to 21% in relation to the control, whereas there was no inhibition of black pod caused byP. palmivora. Formulations need to be improved in order to enhance the activity of the actinomycetes against cacao pathogens in the field. Molecular identification of the selected isolates showed that they are species of the genusStreptomyces.  相似文献
