The culture filtrate (CF) from the plant growth-promoting fungus Phoma sp. GS8-1 was found to induce systemic resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana against the bacterial leaf speck pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst), and the underlying mechanism was studied. Roots of A. thaliana were treated with CF from GS8-1, and plants expressed a clear resistance to subsequent Pst infection; disease severity was reduced, and proliferation of pathogen was suppressed. Various mutants of A. thaliana were used to test whether the CF induced resistance through one of the known signaling pathways: salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET). The CF was fully protective against Pst in Arabidopsis mutants jar1 and ein2 similar to wild-type plants. However, its efficacy was reduced in plants containing transgene NahG. Examination of systemic gene expression revealed that CF modulates the expression of SA-inducible PR-1, PR-2 and PR-5 genes, the JA/ET-inducible ChitB gene, and the ET-inducible Hel gene. Moreover, the expression of these genes was further enhanced upon subsequent stimulation after attack by Pst. Our data suggest that in addition to a partial requirement for SA, the signals JA and ET may also play a role in defense signaling in Arabidopsis.  相似文献

Studies were undertaken to determine any interaction of an asymptomatic isolate of Hyaloperonospora parasitica (downy mildew) with a virulent isolate of Albugo candida (white rust) and Brassica juncea. White rust symptoms appeared 4 days earlier and were significantly more severe when a variety of B. juncea resistant to downy mildew but highly susceptible to white rust was first inoculated with A. candida followed 10 days later with H. parasitica. DNA extractions of tissues indicated H. parasitica had colonized the asymptomatic plants systemically. These are the first reports of (a) the systemic colonization by H. parasitica in a host resistant to downy mildew, and (b) the increase in susceptibility of a Brassica to white rust disease from asymptomatic colonization by H. parasitica.  相似文献

An early event correlated with the gene-for-gene hypersensitive response (HR) is the accumulation of active oxygen species (AOS), also known as the oxidative burst. We present data that genetically demonstrates that the oxidative burst is a downstream component of the RPS2- avrRpt2gene-for-gene signal cascade. An in planta AOS assay using the fluorescent probe 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) was modified for use with the Arabidopsis thaliana / Pseudomonas syringae pv.tomato (P. syringae pv. tomato) model system. An oxidative burst occurred between 8 and 15 hpi with avirulent P. syringae pv. tomato(avrRpt2), but not with virulent P. syringae pv. tomato. This burst preceded cell death and was not observed in the RPS2 Arabidopsis mutantsrps2-101C and rps2-201 inoculated with avirulent P. syringae pv. tomato. An HR-like response has been observed when plants undergoing a systemic acquired resistance (SAR) response are challenged with a normally virulent pathogen (manifestation stage of SAR), however an HR-like oxidative burst was not detected by the in planta AOS assay during this stage of SAR.  相似文献

Selected strains of non-pathogenic rhizobacteria have the ability to trigger an induced systemic resistance (ISR) response in plants. In Arabidopsis, rhizobacteria-mediated ISR has been extensively studied, using Pseudomonas fluorescens WCS417r as the inducing agent and P. syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst) as the challenging pathogen. To investigate how far expression of ISR depends on the level of basal resistance, 10 different Arabidopsis ecotypes were screened for their potential to express WCS417r-mediated ISR and basal resistance against Pst. Two Arabidopsis ecotypes, RLD and Wassilewskija (Ws), were found to be blocked in their ability to express ISR. This ISR-noninducible phenotype correlated with a relatively low level of basal resistance against Pst. Genetic analysis of crosses between the ISR-inducible ecotypes Columbia (Col) and Landsberg erecta (Ler), on the one hand, and the non-inducible ecotypes RLD and Ws, on the other hand, revealed that ISR inducibility and basal resistance against Pst were inherited as monogenic dominant traits that are genetically linked. Neither ISR inducibility, nor basal resistance against Pst was complemented in the F1 progeny of a cross between RLD and Ws, indicating that both ecotypes are affected in the same locus. This locus, designated ISR1, was mapped between markers Ein3 and GL1 on chromosome III. Interestingly, ecotypes RLD and Ws also failed to express ISR against the oomycetous pathogen Peronospora parasitica, but they were not affected in their level of basal resistance against this pathogen. Thus, the ISR1 locus controls the expression of ISR against different pathogens but basal resistance only against Pst and not against P. parasitica. Like ecotypes RLD and Ws, ethylene-insensitive mutants showed the isr1 phenotype in that they were unable to express WCS417r-mediated ISR and show enhanced susceptibility to Pst infection. Analysis of ethylene responsiveness of RLD and Ws revealed that both ecotypes exhibit reduced sensitivity to ethylene. Therefore, it is proposed that the Arabidopsis ISR1 locus encodes a component of the ethylene-response pathway that plays an important role in ethylene-dependent resistance mechanisms.  相似文献

We report the construction of a clone library of the Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica genome and the isolation of a gene for endo-pectate lyase. The library, inserted into the PstI site of plasmid pBR322, contains approximately 1700 clones. Five of these produce pectolytic enzymes as detected by a plate screening assay. Using a cloned endo-pectate lyase gene from the related bacterium, E. carotovora subsp. carotovora, as a probe, we found that one pectolytic E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica clone had strong homology to the probe. We characterized that clone by restriction endonuclease mapping and studied its pectolytic protein product. The purified enzyme is an endo-pectate lyase with a cofactor preference for Co2+. The molecular weight of the protein is 31 000 and it has an isoelectric focusing point of 9·2, corresponding to an endo-pectate lyase produced by E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica, but not to the protein product of the E. carotovora subsp. carotovora probe DNA, which has a pI of 9·5. Restriction endonuclease site polymorphisms in the two cloned endo-pectate lyase genes suggest substantial sequence divergence between these two loci.  相似文献

Chestnut blight has commonly been regarded as a phloem disease due to conspicuous stem cankers that result from infection by the fungal pathogen Cryphonectria (Endothia) parasitica. Stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration rate (E) and leaf water potential were measured throughout the day on leaves distal to naturally-occurring virulent (sunken bark with abundant stromata) or hypovirulent (swollen bark lacking stromata) cankers and cankers induced by inoculation with virulent or hypovirulent strains of C. parasitica. Relative to control stems, hydraulic conductivity (Kh), gs and E were reduced significantly (α = 0·05) for both natural virulent cankers, and cankers that were induced by a virulent strain. These effects were less pronounced for both natural and induced hypovirulent cankers. Isolation experiments revealed that the percentage of xylem tissue chips yielding C. parasitica was greater for virulent than for hypovirulent cankers. The data provide evidence that the localized presence of C. parasitica in cankers of American chestnut results in stomatal closure, possibly as a direct result of xylem dysfunction.  相似文献

为明确橡胶树白粉菌Erysiphe quercicola参与致病过程相关基因的表达情况,基于RNA-Seq测序技术对橡胶树白粉菌侵染过程进行转录调控研究,通过对病原菌孢子(0 h)及3个侵染时期(接种1、3和30 d)的转录组进行比较,筛选差异表达基因并对其进行功能注释分析,同时对不同侵染阶段的基因表达趋势进行聚类分析。结果表明,相比于病原菌孢子,3个侵染时期(接种后1、3和30 d)分别有198、458和27个差异表达基因。基因功能富集分析发现氧化还原酶相关基因在侵染1 d阶段显著富集,可能参与病原菌侵染前期对活性氧的防御。基因表达趋势聚类分析显示不同侵染阶段的基因共分为51种表达类型,其中编码候选效应蛋白基因集中分布在侵染1 d后上调表达的6个类型当中。表明橡胶树白粉菌侵染过程相关基因具有明显的功能倾向性和表达趋势特征。  相似文献

Intercellular washing fluids (IWFs) were isolated from compatible interactions ofPeronospora parasitica with Arabidopsis. IWFs were filter-sterilized then infiltrated into leaves of resistant and susceptible Arabidopsis genotypes. P. parasitica isolates WELA (virulent on Landsberg erecta (La-er) and Weiningen (Wei-0) but avirulent on Columbia (Col-0) and RLD) and NOCO (virulent on Col-0 and RLD but avirulent on La-er) were used. A “reciprocal check” pattern of necrosis-induction was observed in which IWFs from a compatible interaction caused necrosis in leaves of the Arabidopsis genotypes resistant to the “parent” fungal isolate but not in those genotypes susceptible to it. Analysis of variance showed that the interaction between fungal isolate and necrosis in host genotypes was highly significant. The necrosis-inducing activity was significantly correlated with a high degree of asexual sporulation in the compatible interaction from which the IWF was isolated. However, the necrosis-inducing activity was not correlated with the protein content of the IWF.  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

Downy mildew resistance was previously identified from screening a Brassica oleracea collection against two standard UK isolates of Hyaloperonospora parasitica. Sources of resistance were chosen from this material and developed further in this study by generating doubled haploid (DH) and inbred lines. Seedlings from the new lines were tested for resistance to a larger collection of H. parasitica isolates collected in 2001–2002 and 2007–2008 from the main broccoli and cauliflower production regions of the UK. Three lines (derived from borecole or summer cabbage) were broadly resistant to the pathogen isolates. Three of the remaining lines exhibited strong isolate‐specific resistance; several examples of weak or basal level of resistance to some isolates were observed. A new H. parasitica variant collected in 2008 was virulent in the broadly resistant lines, but was avirulent in a line with narrow specificity of resistance. The F2 and BC1 seedlings derived from outcrossing each of the three broadly resistant lines to susceptible broccoli and cauliflower lines segregated in a manner indicating that the resistance was controlled by a single dominant gene. No susceptibility was observed amongst F2 seedlings derived from intercrossing the three resistant lines, indicating that they all share the same or closely linked broad‐spectrum resistance gene(s). DH lines were produced from F1 plants, and resistant plants were further backcrossed to produce broccoli and cauliflower‐like lines that could be useful pre‐breeding material. A combination of resistance from lines with broad and narrow specificity is recommended for controlling downy mildew in UK brassica production.  相似文献

 探究南方根结线虫Me3毒性与非毒性群体对抗感寄主趋向性和侵染能力,为揭示毒性群体致病机理及防治根结线虫策略提供理论依据。使用以水琼脂为介质的研究方法,通过对比分析辣椒抗病品种HDA149和感病品种茄门根尖附近聚集的2龄幼虫(J2)数量,来揭示南方根结线虫对抗感辣椒品种根尖的趋向性效应,并利用实时荧光定量 PCR 检测侵入到辣椒根系的毒性与非毒性线虫数量,对其侵染能力进行比较。J2 趋向性试验结果显示,在相同的时间点,HDA149 和茄门辣椒根尖处附近聚集的毒性群体 J2 数量总是显著多于非毒性群体的 J2数量;J2 对抗感辣椒的选择性结果表明,不论是毒性群体还是非毒性群体的 J2,在相同的时间点,茄门根尖附近聚集的线虫数量显著多于HDA149根尖附近的线虫数量;荧光定量 PCR 检测线虫侵染结果显示,毒性群体 J2侵入到辣椒根系的数量相对非毒性群体的 J2 更多。总之,相比南方根结线虫Me3非毒性群体,毒性群体的 J2 对寄主根系有较强的趋向性,并且侵染效率更高;相比于抗性寄主,Me3毒性群体和非毒性群体的 J2 对感病寄主有更强的选择性。  相似文献

Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora (Ecc) is a causal agent of soft-rot diseases in a wide variety of plants. Here, we have isolated nonmotile mutants in Ecc by in vivo insertional mutagenesis using a transposon Tn5. The sequence disrupted by the Tn5 insertion in YMU1 and YMU5 mutants was highly homologous to that of flhC and flhD genes, respectively. They are involved in the initiation of the expression of flagellum-related genes in many gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella. With electron microscopy, the flhC and the flhD homolog mutants were shown to be aflagellate. Furthermore, the virulence of these mutants was greatly reduced in Chinese cabbage and potato compared to that of the parental strain. These results suggest that flagellar formation is required for the pathogenicity of Ecc.

Transgenic tobacco plants expressing a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase cDNA (ShPAL), isolated from Stylosanthes humilis, under the control of the 35S promoter of the cauliflower mosaic virus were produced to test the effect of high level PAL expression on disease resistance. The transgenic plants showed up to eight-fold PAL activity and were slowed in growth and flowering relative to non-transgenic controls which have segregated out the transgene. The expression of the ShPAL transgene and elevated PAL levels were correlated and stably inherited. In T1 and T2 tobacco plants with increased PAL activity, lesion expansion was significantly reduced by up to 55% on stems inoculated with the Oomycete pathogen Phytophthora parasitica pv. nicotianae. Lesion area was significantly reduced by up to 50% on leaves inoculated with the fungal pathogen Cercospora nicotianae. This study provides further evidence that PAL has a role in plant defence.  相似文献

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is induced following inoculation of Peronospora tabacina sporangia into the stems of Nicotiana tabacum plants highly susceptible to the pathogen. Previous results have shown that accumulation of acidic β-1,3-glucanases (PR-2's) following induction of SAR by P. tabacina may contribute to resistance to P. tabacina. We showed that up-regulation of the PR-2 gene, PR-2d, following stem inoculation with P. tabacina, is associated with SAR. Studies using plants transformed with GUS constructs containing the full length promoter from PR-2d or promoter deletions, provided evidence that a previously characterized regulatory element that is involved in response to salicylic acid (SA), may be involved in regulation of PR-2d following induction of SAR with P. tabacina. This work provides evidence that regulation of PR-2 genes during P. tabacina-induced SAR may be similar to regulation of these genes during infection of N-gene tobacco by TMV or following exogenous application of SA, and provides further support for the role of SA in regulation of genes during P. tabacina-induced SAR.  相似文献

为明确红颈常室茧蜂Peristenus spretus Chen et van Achterberg定位寄主绿盲蝽Apolygus lucorum(Meyer-Dür)时利用的挥发性信息物质来源,利用Y型昆虫嗅觉仪测定了红颈常室茧蜂雌雄成虫对绿盲蝽3龄若虫及其为害寄主植物棉株以及雌性红颈常室茧蜂成虫、绿盲蝽成虫对苗期和花期的棉花、蓖麻的选择行为。结果表明,与干净空气(空白对照)相比,雌性红颈常室茧蜂对绿盲蝽3龄若虫、健康棉株的选择行为无显著差异,绿盲蝽3龄若虫为害的棉株对雌性红颈常室茧蜂具有显著的吸引作用,但在为害后去虫和未去虫处理间无显著差异;雄性红颈常室茧蜂对各处理均无明显的选择行为。与健康或为害后去虫的苗期棉花相比,雌性绿盲蝽成虫显著趋向花期蓖麻;而雌性红颈常室茧蜂只趋向于为害后的花期蓖麻。雌性红颈常室茧蜂对为害后去虫的花期棉花和花期蓖麻的选择行为显著高于相应的苗期植株。这表明雌性红颈常室茧蜂主要利用绿盲蝽若虫为害后寄主植物释放的挥发性信息物质来定位寄主绿盲蝽,且其对花期寄主植物的选择行为与绿盲蝽成虫具有一致性。  相似文献

In Cryphonectria parasitica, the causal agent of chestnut blight, hypovirulence is commonly associated with the presence of cytoplasmically transmissible, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). Recently, hypovirulent isolates of C. parasitica that do not have detectable levels of dsRNA have been obtained from healing cankers on chestnut trees. In these isolates, most of the respiratory activity is cyanide-resistant and salicylhydroxamate-sensitive, indicating that the mitochondrial alternative oxidase was induced. In contrast, the respiration of virulent isolates from the same trees and most of the dsRNA-containing hypovirulent isolates from a variety of geographical locations was cyanide sensitive. In all of these isolates, the alternative oxidase could be induced by growing them in the presence of chloramphenicol, an inhibitor of mitochondrial protein synthesis. The attenuated virulence and altered respiratory phenotypes could be transferred from the dsRNA-free hypovirulent isolates to virulent strains through hyphal anastomosis. Some of the dsRNA-free hypovirulent isolates grew more slowly than virulent strains. These results indicate that, in Cryphonectria, cytoplasmically transmitted hypovirulence may have more than one cause, and that mitochondrial mutations sometimes may be involved in the generation of this phenotype.  相似文献

Levels of individual phenolic acids were examined in primary leaves of wheat (Triticum aestivum) after inoculation with avirulent and virulent strains of the leaf rust fungus (Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici) at stages when previous work had shown fungal and host cells to be affected by expression of the Lr20 or Lr28 alleles for resistance. The predominant phenolic acid, ferulic acid, as well as p-coumaric and syringic acids were detected in primary leaves in both unbound and bound forms. They were not detected in germinating urediniospores of either rust strain. Levels of unbound phenolic acids changed little in response to infection. In Lr28-bearing leaves inoculated with an avirulent strain, increased concentrations of bound phenolic acids and three other unidentified compounds were observed about 4 h after many single or small groups of cells had undergone hypersensitive collapse. In an Lr20-bearing cultivar, levels of bound phenolic acids fell in leaves inoculated with either a virulent or avirulent rust strain. Coniferyl aldehyde and coniferyl alcohol were not detected in healthy or inoculated leaves of either wheat cultivar. Attempts to affect expression of resistance by application of inhibitors of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase were not successful and both wheat cultivars remained resistant to avirulent rust strains. The bound phenolic acids which accumulate in cells undergoing a hypersensitive response may play a role in resistance of Lr28-bearing wheat to the leaf rust fungus.  相似文献
