This study was designed to assess the reliability of grapevine leaf bioassays for predicting disease resistance on fruit in the field. The efficacy of various grapevine quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for conferring resistance to downy and powdery mildew was evaluated in bioassays and in a 2‐year field experiment for downy mildew. The resistance genes studied were inherited from Muscadinia rotundifolia (Rpv1 and Run1) and from American Vitis species through cv. Regent (QTLRgP and QTLRgD). In bioassays, genotypes carrying Run1 blocked powdery mildew development at early stages. Genotypes combining Run1 with QTLRgP displayed no greater level of resistance. For downy mildew, genotypes carrying Rpv1 and/or QTLRgD were more resistant than the susceptible cv. Merlot, and showed a high level of leaf resistance in the field (<10% severity). Disease levels on bunches were much higher than those on leaves, with a high variability between Rpv1 genotypes (1–48%). A Bayesian decision theory framework predicted that an OIV‐452 threshold of 5 in leaf bioassays allowed accurate selection of grapevine genotypes (P = 0·83) with satisfactory disease severity on bunches. Therefore, this study validates that the use of early bioassays on leaves, as currently performed by grapevine breeders, ensures a satisfactory level of resistance to downy mildew of bunches in the field.  相似文献

Cuticular wax on the plant epidermis inhibits or enhances prepenetration events of powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator Schwein). We examined the role of cuticular leaf and berry waxes as a resistance mechanism in four grapevine genotypes (Italia?×?Mercan-174, Gürcü, Isabella, Özer Karas?) resistant to powdery mildew after natural infection and inoculation. To understand cuticular wax properties, we determined the amount of wax and antifungal effects of thin layer chromatography (TLC) fractions from cuticular leaf and berry waxes, then assessed the chemical composition of fractions with different antifungal activities using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Susceptible genotypes Cabernet Sauvignon and Italia were used for comparison. Resistant and sensitive genotypes did not differ significantly in the total amount of wax on leaves and berries; however, 27 fatty acids, 26 alkanes, 6 terpenes, 4 indole derivatives and 4 ketones, and 3 amides, 3 phenols and 3 steroids were detected in fractions with high antifungal activity (≥75% inhibition of germination) in leaf and/or berry cuticular waxes of resistant genotypes only. These compounds may be evaluated as markers for powdery mildew resistance during genotype selection in a grapevine breeding program.  相似文献

The chickpea leaf miner, Liriomyza cicerina (Rondani) (Diptera: Agromyzidae), is an important pest of cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). A 2-year field study was carried out to screen a total of 126 Cicer germplasm for resistance to the leaf miner during the 2012 and 2013 growing seasons. Resistance was evaluated using a visual scale of 1–9, where 1?=?highly resistant and 9?=?very highly susceptible under natural infestation conditions. The results showed that two C. arietinum accessions, ILC 3397 and Sierra, had a score of 9 on the scale, being very highly susceptible. Three germplasm, one mutant (3304) and two breeding lines (LMR 140 and LMR 160) of C. arietinum, were found to be highly resistant with the scores ranging from 1.5 to 2 for resistance to the leaf miner. The mutant, 3304, was detected for the first time in this study as a highly leaf miner-resistant mutant of the cultivated chickpeas while the other two breeding lines had been previously reported as highly resistant against the leaf miner. In addition, two mutants and 14 breeding lines of C. arietinum and two mutants and one germplasm of C. reticulatum were identified as resistant having the scores from 2.1 to 3 on the 1–9 scale. The results suggest that these resistant germplasm may add a new dimension to chickpea breeding programs because they possess valuable traits for resistance against the pest. The resistant chickpeas that can be grown without using pesticides are important as environmental protection and reliable food source for human health.  相似文献

In the present study, four Greek (Agiorgitiko, Asyrtiko, Roditis and Xinomavro) and one international (Soultanina) grapevine cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.) were screened for their resistance to Phaeomoniella chlamydospora. Artificial inoculation was carried out by drilling a hole into the trunk and injecting a concentrated conidial suspension into the vessels. Disease reactions were evaluated in an 87-day assessment period, on the basis of external symptoms (disease incidence, disease severity and mortality) and by calculating the relative areas under disease progress curves (relative AUDPC). The extension of vascular browning as well as the isolation ratio along the inoculated vine trunks were also taken into account as additional parameters for evaluating resistance. The results indicated that the resistance of grapevine cultivars to P. chlamydospora varied significantly. ‘Agiorgitiko’ and ‘Soultanina’ were susceptible, whereas ‘Asyrtiko’ and ‘Xinomavro’ were resistant; ‘Roditis’ showed an intermediate level of resistance. Cultivars’ resistance was mostly distinguished in terms of the extension of vascular browning and pathogen isolation ratio. On the contrary, the disease incidence, final disease severity, mortality and relative AUDPC provided less distinctive efficiency in resistance evaluation. The robust methodology presented here could be useful in rapid evaluation experiments for future screening programs to search and recognize natural resistant sources within grapevine genotypes against P. chlamydospora.  相似文献

Grey leaf spot is an important maize foliar disease caused by the fungal pathogens Cercospora zeae-maydis and Cercospora zeina. Although methods exist to detect these Cercospora species in maize, current techniques do not allow quantification of the fungi in planta. We developed a real-time SYBR® Green PCR assay for quantification of grey leaf spot disease in maize based on the amplification of a fragment of a cytochrome P450 reductase (cpr1) gene. In planta fungal DNA content was normalised to a maize glutathione S-transferase III gene (gst3) to yield values of ng Cercospora DNA/mg maize DNA. The assay was specific to the two Cercospora spp., and we observed no amplification of the cpr1 fragment in non-target maize leaf pathogens or saprophytes. The assay was employed to quantify C. zeina in glasshouse inoculated maize plants and grey leaf spot infected field plants of resistant and susceptible maize lines. In both instances, C. zeina DNA content correlated with symptomatic leaf lesion area, and the susceptible maize line contained significantly more C. zeina DNA than the resistant line. Sequence differences between the C. zeina and C. zeae-maydis cpr1 amplicons enabled us to perform melt curve analyses to identify the Cercospora species causing grey leaf spot at a particular location. This assay has application in the early detection and quantification of Cercospora spp., both of which are important tools in grey leaf spot disease management and maize breeding programmes.  相似文献

To develop a molecular method to identify Pseudoperonospora cubensis in cucumber leaves with signs of downy mildew, we compared the nucleotide sequences of ribosomal DNA-internal transcribed spacer, cytochrome oxidase II, and β-tubulin genes of P. cubensis and P. humuli isolates. Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) distinguished P. cubensis and P. humuli based on variations in β-tubulin sequences, and one specific primer set was designed for further analysis. Real-time PCR and high resolution melting analysis showed that the primer set can be used to specifically identify P. cubensis in cucumber leaves with downy mildew.  相似文献

The virulence spectrum of 300 isolates of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), representing 17 districts of Punjab, Pakistan was elucidated through inoculation on a set of six rice IRRI-differentials. The virulence level was assessed by using principal component and cluster analysis. Among six principal components (PCs), PC-1 exhibited 59.3 % of the total variance. The highly virulent isolates clusters on the positive side of the ordination away from the point of intersection of PC1 and PC2 and classifies the Xoo isolates from slow disease to the highest disease causing entities. The 300 isolates were categorized into 29 pathotypes (Pt1-29) wherein the highly virulent pathotype (Pt-1), comprises of 39 Xoo isolates were widespread in 12 districts. The majority of Xoo isolates were moderately to least virulent (21.7–43 %) and average disease progress curves confirmed the field reactions of these pathotype clusters for an efficient recognition of Xoo isolates. Interaction of the pathogen with differentials harboring different resistant genes was well investigated in the current study for future management approaches for which the surveillance of the new Xoo pathotypes may expedite the disease resistant rice breeding programme in the country.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to determine the virulence structure of powdery mildew of oats (Blumeria graminis DC.f. sp. avena) in Poland in the years 2010–2013. For this purpose, powdery mildew isolates were collected from three experimental stations in Poland. To assess the virulence of the isolates, eight oat varieties with different responses to the pathogen were used. The results showed that a significant proportion of powdery mildew isolates found in Poland overcame the resistance genes of varieties Bruno (Pm6), Jumbo (Pm1) and Mostyn (Pm3). In contrast, lines Av1860 (Pm4), Am27 (Pm5) and Cc3678 (Pm2) were completely resistant to all pathogen isolates involved in the experiment. Changes constantly occurring in the powdery mildew population perfectly reflect diversity indexes, which were the smallest in the first year of observation, where in the following years these parameters were significantly higher. It is worth noting that the presence of powdery mildew is seasonal and local, which is reflected in the prevalence of the disease in a defined area of the country.  相似文献

Leaves with typical symptoms of downy mildew were found on common agrimony in the Czech Republic in 2014 and 2015 and at several locations in Germany from 2010 to 2014. The causal agent of downy mildew of agrimony was often reported as Peronospora agrimoniae, but sometimes also as P. sparsa. Morphological characteristics of the pathogens found in both countries are in the range of previous works for P. agrimoniae, but also other downy mildews parasitic on Rosaceae, rendering their discrimination based on published observations difficult. For molecular identification sequencing of several loci (nrITS rDNA, cox1 and cox2) was performed. Phylogenetic analyses based on nrITS rDNA clearly separated P. agrimoniae from other Peronospora species infecting Rosaceae. Thus, considering P. agrimoniae as separate species seems justified. Two German specimens were identical to two Czech samples in both nrITS rDNA and cox1 mtDNA sequences, but differed in a single nucleotide substitution in cox2 region. To our knowledge, this is the first verified record of P. agrimoniae on common agrimony in the Czech Republic.  相似文献

Following inoculation of host and nonhost plants with Plasmopara viticola, the grapevine downy mildew, a histological survey was undertaken to identify the stage where its development is contained in nonhosts and in resistant host plants. Three herbaceous nonhost species, Beta vulgaris, Lactuca sativa, and Capsicum annuum, and three grapevine species displaying different level of resistance (Vitis vinifera [susceptible], Vitis riparia [partially resistant] and Muscadinia rotundifolia [totally resistant]) where inoculated by P. viticola using a controlled leaf disk inoculation bioassay. During the early steps of infection, defined as encystment of zoospores on stomata, penetration of the germ tube, and production of the vesicle with the primary hypha, there was no evidence of a clear-cut preference to grapevine tissues that could attest to host specificity. The main difference between host grapevine species and nonhosts was observed during the haustorium formation stage. In nonhost tissues, the infection was stopped by cell wall-associated defense responses before any mature haustorium could appear. Defense responses in resistant grapevines were triggered when haustoria were fully visible and corresponded to hypersensitive responses. These observations illustrate that, for P. viticola, haustorium formation is not only a key stage for the establishment of biotrophy but also for the host specificity and the recognition by grapevine resistance factors.  相似文献

Cymoxanil has been used for over 30 years to control grape downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) in European vineyards, prevalently in mixture with other fungicides active on this disease. In the 1990’s cases of P. viticola resistant to cymoxanil were detected using a leaf disc assay. In this study, we establish that the presence of only 1 % of resistant isolates in a P. viticola population will allow the detection of cymoxanil resistance in the leaf disc assay. A poor correlation (R?=?0.194) was observed between the leaf disc assay and a whole- plant test for 38 P. viticola field populations collected in 2004. Over 60 % of these populations were characterized as fully sensitive in a whole-plant assay compared to 10 % in the leaf disc assay. Five P. viticola field isolates resistant to cymoxanil reverted to full sensitivity after six to nine transfers to untreated vines, indicating that cymoxanil resistance in P. viticola is unstable. Two European P. viticola populations sensitive to cymoxanil became resistant when transferred 12–14 times on vines treated with cymoxanil. In contrast, two populations originating from the USA and three monozoospore isolates from France retained full sensitivity to the fungicide after 13 cycles on cymoxanil-treated plants. Whole-plant experiments were conducted in the laboratory to compare the efficiency of spray programs to delay the development of cymoxanil resistance. Whereas the continuous use of cymoxanil alone quickly selected for resistance, the mixture of cymoxanil and folpet applied either continuously or in strict or block alternation effectively prevented the development of resistance over 10 generations of the fungus. These results demonstrate that resistance to cymoxanil in P. viticola can be managed with appropriate spray programs.  相似文献

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4) has seriously threatened global banana production. Recently, identification of Foc TR4 in the Caribbean and Mozambique has aroused widespread concern because it may be directly related to food security for millions of people in Africa and Latin America. To identify a resistant or highly resistant germplasm, 129 accessions were evaluated for Foc TR4 resistance in greenhouses and 100 of them were also assessed in the field. In total, 10 accessions were highly resistant (HR) to Foc TR4; these include four from the AA group, two from the BB group, one of the East African highland bananas (EAHBs), two plantains, and one from wild relatives of banana. Of these, Pahang (AA), Calcutta 4 (AA), and Musa itinerans exhibited the highest degree of resistance with an index of disease (ID2) less than 10, and Foc TR4 could not infect any of them in the field. Furthermore, 31 accessions from AA, AB, AAB, AAAB, and ABB groups and wild relatives were identified as a resistant (R) germplasms. All tested EAHBs and plantains exhibited resistance or high resistance to Foc TR4 infection. Our results provide valuable genetic resources for banana breeding and for studying the mechanisms underlying Fusarium wilt resistance. Furthermore, evaluation of EAHBs and plantains provided a rational for local banana producers and researchers to grow EAHBS and plantains.  相似文献

Studies were undertaken on the effects of temperature (14/10 °C and 22/17 °C day/night) and plant age (15, 23, 31 and 40 day-old-plants) on the severity of downy mildew (Hyaloperonospora parasitica) on oilseed Brassica cultivars (temperature: Brassica juncea Montara, B. napus Atomic, ATR-Hyden, Hyola 432, Hyola 450 TT, Thunder TT; plant age: B. juncea Dune, B. napus Surpass 402 and Hyola 450 TT). For temperature studies, there were significant (P?<?0.001) effects of temperature, cultivar, and cultivar x temperature interaction. On cotyledons of susceptible cultivars (B. napus Hyola 450 TT and Thunder TT), plants were symptomatic at 22/17 °C by 48 h post inoculation (hpi) and with abundant sporulation evident by 72 hpi, and with all cotyledons of B. napus Thunder TT collapsed by 7 days post inoculation (dpi). However, at 14/10 °C, there were no symptoms on the same cultivars until 5 dpi, and sporulation only observed at 7 dpi. Percent disease index values (DI%) at 22/17 °C of B. juncea Montara and B. napus ATR-Hyden, Hyola 432, Atomic, Hyola 450 TT and Thunder TT were 4.5, 49.0, 51.4, 65.8, 86.3 and 96.0, respectively, with all except B. juncea Montara having significantly lower (P?<?0.001) disease at 14/10 °C with DI% values of 2.8, 30.4, 27.9, 31.1, 44.4 and 76.4, respectively. For plant age studies, there were significant (P?<?0.001) effects of plant age, cultivar, and cultivar x plant age interaction. DI% was significantly higher at 15 compared to 40 day-old-plants (dop) across all cultivars. B. juncea Dune showed greatest resistance, particularly on 40 dop, with DI% values of 25.8, 24.6, 22.9 and 7.5, for 15, 23, 31 and 40 dop, respectively. B. napus Surpass 402 showed high susceptibility on cotyledons of 15 dop but moderate resistance on leaves of other ages, with DI% values of 59.0, 31.2, 27.1 and 26.2 for 15, 23, 31 and 40 dop, respectively. B. napus Hyola 450 TT showed very high susceptibility at the cotyledon stage on 15 dop, but some resistance on 23 dop and more so on 31 and 40 dop, with DI% values of 84.0, 41.2, 35.4 and 32.9 for 15, 23, 31 and 40 dop, respectively. Together, these findings explain for the first time why development of downy mildew epidemics on susceptible cultivars occurs early in the growing season when warmer seasonal temperatures in autumn coincide with presence of seedlings; in contrast to later in the growing season on less susceptible older plants coinciding with cooler and less favourable winter temperatures. Increasing maximum and minimum temperatures associated with climate change have likely fostered the increased severity of downy mildew over the past 15 years.  相似文献

Benthiavalicarb is a new fungicide active against Oomycetes fungal plant pathogens. The present study shows that benthiavalicarb is effective for controlling the Oomycete fungal pathogen Plasmopara viticola, which causes downy mildew in grapevines. The fungicide did not affect zoospore discharge from sporangia of P. viticola, but strongly inhibited zoospore encystment, cystospore germination in vitro and mycelial growth, together with sporangial production in vivo. Benthiavalicarb showed strong prophylactic and local activity in intact plants or detached leaves and low translaminar activity. The compound was not translocated from leaf to leaf in either a acropetal or basipetal direction. Benthiavalicarb applied at 1, 3 and 6 days post-inoculation protected grapevine plants against downy mildew and inhibited sporulation of the pathogen. Similar results were obtained on leaf disks if benthiavalicarb was applied up to 96 h post-inoculation. Benthiavalicarb diminished the sporulation of P. viticola when applied to established disease in the tissue. Benthiavalicarb remained active on leaves for a period up to 28 days. Two foliar applications of benthiavalicarb, 2 weeks apart, to field-grown grapevines inhibited downy mildew development and were as effective as the standard metalaxyl-Cu treatment in controlling the disease. A formulated mixture of benthiavalicarb + Folpet was similar or superior in performance to metalaxyl-Cu and the new strobilurin trifloxystrobin in controlling downy mildew. The effectiveness of benthiavalicarb makes it well suited for integration into a control programme against downy mildew disease in vineyards, and as a component to delay resistance buildup.  相似文献

Tomato leaves showing severe leaf spot symptoms have been observed and sampled in the central west and southwest Taiwan during 2015 and 2016. The symptoms were similar to those of bacterial leaf spot/late blight diseases, but only Stemphylium-like fungi were consistently isolated from the diseased tomato. Upon spray inoculation of tomato, Stemphylium-like isolates caused leaf spot symptoms identical to those of naturally infected plants, and the pathogenic isolates were successfully re-isolated from inoculated leaves. The tomato-pathogenic isolates were identified as S. lycopersici based on morphological characterization and molecular identification. S. lycopersici has been previously reported to cause gray leaf spot of tomato in the temperate regions, but the majority of S. lycopersici-caused lesions were black/dark brown rather than gray in our surveillance. Accordingly, it is suggested that S. lycopersici-caused disease of tomato is named Stemphylium leaf spot of tomato more appropriately than tomato gray leaf spot. Moreover, S. lycopersici-caused leaf spot disease on tomato has been distributed in major tomato production regions in Taiwan. The information provided by our study will be important for future breeding of tomato cultivars, especially for tomato producers in Taiwan.  相似文献

Clubroot, caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, is one of the most damaging diseases of Brassica napus worldwide. Resistant plant material is valuable for cultivation in all areas of high incidence of the disease and intensive growth of oilseed rape. We have evaluated clubroot resistance, plant morphology and seed quality in 15 lines of an F4 generation and selected six lines of F5 generation of interspecific hybrids obtained from a cross between a male sterile line of B. napus ‘MS8’, selected from resynthesized oilseed rape (B. rapa ssp. chinensis × B. oleracea var. gemmifera) and an ecotype of B. rapa ssp. pekinensis. Clubroot resistance was evaluated using a bioassay with P1-P5 pathotypes of P. brassicae (according to the classification of Somé et al. 1996). The resistance to the pathotype P1 was successfully fixed in the F5 generation, and improved in some lines in respect to the pathotypes P2-P4. The resistance to P1 and the other tested pathotypes was not linked. Characterization of plant material included recent techniques of FISH and BAC-FISH with a special focus on the analysis of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) of selected individuals. Two hybrid lines combined high levels of resistance with appropriate plant morphology, good seed quality traits and a stable chromosome number and arrangement. Recent techniques of ‘chromosome painting’ provided good insight into chromosome organization in the hybrids obtained, and offered opportunities of further improvement of the breeding process.  相似文献

Oospore production inVicia faba, cv. Metissa, was quantified in the field after plants had been inoculated with a sporangium suspension of a homothallic isolate ofPeronospora viciae f.sp.fabae. Oospores were produced abundantly during the hole growing season from 3 weeks after inoculation on. Oospores were found in all plant parts above soil level, except in the seeds. Most oospores were found in the leaves. Less oospores were formed in leaves inoculated in an older stage than in those inoculated in a younger stage. Towards the end of the season, in August, numbers of oospores in pods strongly increased.Oospore production in leaves of three cultivars, Metissa, Toret and Maris Bead, was studied in growth chambers at 5, 10, 15 and 20 °C at 16 h light. Oospores were formed earlier at higher temperatures than at lower temperatures. The ultimate numbers of oospores produced in leaves were highest at 10 and 15 °C. Similar numbers of oospores were formed in leaves of cultivars Metissa and Toret. In leaves of cv. Maris Bead significant less oospores were produced than in leaves of cv. Metissa and cv. Toret. Total numbers of oospores produced were not related to the level of host plant resistance to downy mildew. The percentage of asexually sporulating leaf area, assessed in a resistance test, was largest in cv. Metissa and smallest in cv. Toret.  相似文献

Zonate leaf spot (Gloeocercospora sorghi) is a common disease in Sorghum bicolor producing areas of the U.S., but little is known about its biology, virulence and severity on S. bicolor, Zea mays, and related crop grassweeds. Greenhouse studies were conducted to determine and compare the virulence and severity of G. sorghi on 10 commercially available sorghum hybrids, four Z. mays hybrids and selected grassweed species including Sorghum bicolor (grain sorghum and shattercane biotypes) and Sorghum halepense (Johnsongrass), two of the most problematic arable weeds. Plants from the respective species were inoculated with a local G. sorghi isolate and maintained in a dew-chamber at 24 °C for 24 h and then incubated under greenhouse conditions for 4 weeks. Plants were observed for lesion expression and rated using a modified Horsfall-Barrett scale (0–10). The first symptoms of infection were visible within 24 h following inoculation on shattercane and S. bicolor hybrids. Symptoms consisted of small, non-diagnostic purple lesions on the leaves. Results showed that S. bicolor, S. halepense and shattercane were susceptible to G. sorghi. All other species tested in this study were not infected. More particularly, disease severity, increased from a rating of 3 to 10 on sorghum and from 2 to 7 on S. halepense between 2 and 23 days after inoculation, respectively. However, disease severity on shattercane increased rapidly from 3.5 to 10 between 2 and 8 days after inoculation, respectively. Among the sorghum hybrids tested, FFR-322 appeared to be the most resistant to G. sorghi while Pioneer 83G66 appeared to be the most susceptible. Z. mays hybrids were not infected by the fungus used in this study. G. sorghi could be used effectively to manage shattercane and S. halepense infestations occurring in Z. mays and S. bicolor fields consisting of specific G. sorghi-resistant hybrids.  相似文献

The efficacy of four oxathiapiprolin (OXPT)-based, novel fungicidal mixtures against downy mildew in cucumber caused by Pseudoperonospora cubensis was examined in growth chambers. OXPT+chlorothalonil (CHT) mixed at weight ratio of 1?+?66.7; OXPT+ azoxystrobin (AZ) 1?+?10.3; OXPT+mandipropamid (MPD) 1?+?8.3; and OXPT+mefenoxam (MFX) 1?+?3, were compared with each other and with individual components. Mixtures performed better than all fungicides alone except for oxathiapiprolin. Of the four mixtures, OXPT+MFX outperformed the other treatments with the highest preventive, curative, translaminar, root treatment and seed treatment efficacies. Deployment in the field of such mixtures with reduced doses of oxathiapiprolin may lower the selection pressure imposed on P. cubensis and delay the buildup of subpopulations resistant to oxathiapiprolin.  相似文献
