In October 1998, a disease causing mainly foliar necrotic lesions was found on African marigold (Tagetes erecta) and French marigold (T. patula) grown in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Similar lesions also developed on stems and flowers, resulting in early blight of the
affected organs. Plants with numerous lesions withered rapidly. A mitosporic fungus isolated repeatedly from the diseased
plants was identified as Alternaria tagetica and demonstrated to cause the disease. The disease, as well as the fungus, is new to Japan. We propose the name “hanten-by?”,
which means leaf spot in Japanese, for this disease.

Severe rot of leaves, peduncles and flowers caused by Gibberella zeae (anamorph: Fusarium
graminearum) was found on potted plants of hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis), a liliaceous ornamental, in greenhouses in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, in January 2001. This disease was named “Fusarium
rot of hyacinth” as a new disease because only the anamorph, F.
graminearum, was identified on the diseased host plant.

A wilt disease of the model legume Lotus japonicus was observed in a greenhouse in Tokyo, Japan in May 2004. Roots of diseased plants were rotted and dark brown with lesions
spreading to lower stems and leaves, resulting in rapid plant death. The causal agent was identified as Fusarium solani based on the morphology. Sequence analysis of rDNA supported the identification. Inoculation of roots of healthy plants with
conidia reproduced characteristic disease symptoms, and F. solani was reisolated from lesions, satisfying Koch’s postulates. The isolate also caused chlorotic to necrotic lesions on leaves
of healthy plants after wound-inoculation. Infection by F. solani of leaves of L. japonicus was confirmed histologically. Mycelia were observed in the intercellular spaces of parenchymatous tissues in the lesion area
and the surrounding tissues. This is the first report of fungal disease on L. japonicus satisfying Koch’s postulates. We named it “Fusarium root rot of L. japonicus” as a new disease. The compatibility of L. japonicus and F. solani is expected to form a novel pathosystem for studying interactions between legumes and fungal pathogens.

A potyvirus, for which the name Japanese hornwort mosaic virus (JHMV) is proposed, was isolated from Japanese hornwort plants
(Cryptotaenia japonica) with mosaic disease symptoms. The virus was used to inoculate mechanically 34 plants belonging to 33 species of 10 families.
Of these species seven from two families were infected. Faint chlorotic spots appeared on the inoculated leaves of Chenopodium quinoa and C. amaranticolor, but no systemic infection occurred in these plants. JHMV systemically infected only Umbelliferae plants; they did not infect
26 other species in eight families. JHMV was transmitted in a nonpersistent manner by aphids (Myzus persicae). The virus was a flexuous rod-shaped particle about 750 nm in length. Sequencing the nucleotides in the 3′ terminal region
of JHMV revealed that the coat protein contains 280 amino acids with a molecular mass of 32.2 kDa. The nucleotide sequence
of the coat protein of JHMV had the highest similarity with that of Zantedeschia mosaic virus (83.3%) compared to those of
other potyviruses (57.0%–64.9%). An antiserum against JHMV reacted strongly with JHMV and weakly with Potato virus Y. These results indicate that JHMV is a new potyvirus.

The effect of the endophyte Neotyphodium lolii on susceptibility of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) to ten fungal pathogens in detached leaves was studied. The pathogens were Alternaria alternata, Ascochyta leptospora, Bipolaris sorokiniana, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium acuminatum, F. avenaceum, F. chlamydosporum, F. solani, F. oxysporum, and Gliocladium roseum. In addition, the effect of the endophyte on four pathogens (A. alternata, B. sorokiniana, Curvularia lunata and F. avenaceum) in living plants was studied, and changes in host superoxide dismutase (SOD) or peroxidases (POD) activity were examined.
The total lengths of lesions on detached leaves were greater (P < 0.05) on E- plants than on E+ plants except for A. leptospora although differences between E+ and E- were not consistently significant at all sample times (days after inoculation).The
numbers of lesions were greater (P < 0.05) and the lesions were larger (P < 0.05) on intact E- plants than on intact E+ plants for all of the four pathogens. SOD enzyme activity was significantly
greater (P < 0.05) in E+ plants than in E- plants only for A. alternata, C. lunata, and F. avenaceum. POD enzyme activity was significantly greater (P < 0.05) in E+ plants than in E- plants only for C. lunata, B. sorokiniana and the uninoculated control. 相似文献

Fusarium proliferatum can occur on a wide range of economically important vegetable plants but its role in disease is not always well established.
In 2000 and 2001, from forty-one field samples of wilting onion and garlic plants in Serbia, F. proliferatum as the predominant fungal species was isolated from root and bulbs. Seventy isolates were firstly characterized for their
sexual fertility and were shown to be mostly members of Gibberella intermedia (sixty-seven of seventy isolates, the remaining three isolates were unfertile), the sexual stage of F. proliferatum (syn. mating population D of G. fujikuroi complex). A selected set of eleven F. proliferatum isolates from both hosts were also tested for their pathogenicity and toxigenicity. Although onion and garlic plants were
susceptible to all isolates, onion plants showed a significantly higher disease severity index. Six of the eleven isolates
of F. proliferatum produced fumonisin B1 from 25 to 3000 μg g−1, and beauvericin from 400 to 550 μg g−1; ten isolates produced fusaric acid from 80 to 950 μg g−1 and moniliformin from 50 to 520 μg g−1. Finally, all isolates produced fusaproliferin up to 400 μg g−1. These results confirm F. proliferatum as an important pathogen of garlic and onion in Europe and that there is a potential mycotoxin accumulation risk in contaminated
plants of both garlic and onion. 相似文献

A new bacterial disease of tall goldenrod (Solidago altissima L., “Seitaka-awadachiso” in Japanese), one of the most serious weeds in non-agricultural land, was discovered in Ibaraki Prefecture,
Japan. Characterized by angular or round, dark brown necrotic spots on leaves, this disease resulted in defoliation and terminal
dieback of the plants in severe cases. The disease was named “bacterial leaf spot”. The causal bacterium was identified as
Pseudomonas syringae based on its bacteriological properties including those determined by LOPAT tests. The present bacterium was pathogenic to
tall goldenrod alone but not to many other tested plants including weeds, flowers, trees and crops. In addition, P. syringae pv. syringae and other pathovars did not show any pathogenicity to tall goldenrod. Because no pathovars of P. syringae pathogenic to tall goldenrod have been reported, the present bacterium was concluded to be a new pathovar of P. syringae. We propose the name P. syringae pv. solidagae pv. nov. , and strain Sei 1 (MAFF 810063) is designated as the pathotype strain and has been deposited in the MAFF collection
with two reference strains (MAFF 810064 and MAFF81066).

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

Temporal dynamics of soybean sudden death syndrome (SDS) root and foliar disease severity were studied in growth chamber experiments
on susceptible plants exposed to different inoculum densities (0, 100, 101, 102, and 103 conidia g−1 soil) of Fusarium virguliforme. The monomolecular model provided the best fit to describe the progress of root and foliar disease severity over time. Disease
severity and area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) both increased in response to increasing inoculum density (P < 0.01), particularly for foliar symptoms. Rate of disease progress increased as inoculum densities increased for both root
and foliar disease severities. The incubation period for root and foliar disease severity ranged from 9 to 18 and 15 to 25 days,
respectively. Significant differences in root rot severity were most easily detected during the early stages of infection,
whereas root rot and foliar severities were only weakly correlated when both were assessed simultaneously at later stages
of disease development. Root rot severity assessments performed 15 to 20 days after inoculation (DAI) were most highly correlated
(r > 0.9, P < 0.01) with foliar disease severity assessments performed 30 to 50 DAI. Root biomass was reduced by up to 67% at the three
highest inoculum densities, indicating the aggressiveness that F. virguliforme possesses as a root rot pathogen on soybeans. 相似文献

The severity of clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) on Chinese cabbage was reduced by growing plants such as oats, spinach and leafy daikon prior to Chinese cabbage in pot
experiments. Resting spore densities of P. brassicae in the soil were 29–62%, depending on the pervious crop, as compared to unplanted control plot after ploughing under the previously
cultivated plants. Root hairs of the preceding plants were infected with P. brassicae, but clubbed roots were not formed on these plants. The results indicate that these plants functioned as decoy plants reducing
the resting-spore density in soil and thereby suppressing disease severity.

Okra plants with bunchy top disease were found to be prevalent during the period of August–October 2009 in New Delhi, India.
The common symptoms observed were shortening of internodes, aggregation of leaves at the apical region, reduced leaf lamina,
stem reddening, fruit bending, phyllody and stunting of plants. The disease incidence ranged from 2–60% accompanied by significant
reductions in production of both flowers and seeds. Nested polymerase chain reaction targeting phytoplasma specific 16S rDNA
and rp genes revealed all symptomatic plants to be positive for phytoplasma. Homology searches depicted its closest identity
to phytoplasmas of 16SrI ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris’, like the Sugarcane yellows and Periwinkle phyllody phytoplasmas. Profiles for 16S rDNA obtained with
10 restriction endonucleases, differed in TaqI sites for two phytoplasma isolates (BHND5 & 10) from the standard pattern of 16SrI-B subgroup, the latter was seen in the
case of isolate BHND1. Restriction fragment analysis of rp genes with AluI, Tsp509I matched with patterns of the rpI-B phytoplasmas. Phylogenetic reconstruction of rp genes revealed okra bunchy top phytoplasma
(BHND1) as a divergent isolate, the subsequent sequence analysis of which showed the presence of a novel BslI site. These significant differences suggest that multiple phytoplasma strains are affecting okra, one of which is a diverging
lineage within the 16SrI-B group while others represent a new 16SrI subgroup not reported so far. Additionally, this is the
first report of a phytoplasma associated disease in okra plants worldwide. 相似文献

Dry mycelium (DM) of killedPenicillium chrysogenum and its water extract (DME) were used to induce resistance in cotton plants againstFusarium oxysporum f.sp.vasinfectum (Fov). Results showed that the efficacy of either DM or DME in controlling the disease depends on both the concentration and the
mode of application. DM amended to the soil at 0.25–2% (w/w) provided 32–75% protection againstFov. Soil drench with 2–5% DME (w/v) and pre-sowing seed soakage with 5–10% DME provided 51–77% and 28–35% protection against
the wilt disease, respectively, whereas no protection was obtained with foliar sprays of 1–10% DME. DM and its water extract
had no direct antifungal activity on growth ofFov in vitro, suggesting that disease control with DM or DME resulted from the induction of natural defense mechanisms in the cotton plants.
Soil drench with 5% DME was as effective as 2% DM powder in inducing resistance againstFov, implying that the resistance-inducing substances were mostly water-soluble. Four cotton cultivars with various genetic resistance
levels againstFov were tested at the seedling stage: two resistant ‘Pima’ cultivars and two susceptible ‘Acala’ cultivars. The level of protection
achieved in the two susceptible cultivars with DME was equal to, or higher than, that of the two resistant cultivars treated
with water. Innate and induced peroxidase activity in cotyledons or hypocotyls and roots coincided with the level of genetic
resistance and DME-induced resistance, respectively. Based on our results, an integrated control strategy ofFov with both genetic resistance and induced resistance is suggested. 相似文献

Verticillium wilt can cause high losses in tree nurseries. To be able to predict disease and unravel disease dynamics over
time and space, the relationship between verticillium wilt and soil inoculum densities of Verticillium dahliae and the nematode Pratylenchus fallax was studied in two 4-year field experiments with Acer platanoides and Catalpa bignonioides in the Netherlands. Best-fit regression equations showed that pre-planting inoculum densities of V. dahliae can be used to predict verticillium wilt over a period of at least 4 years. Pratylenchus fallax contributed significantly to disease severity in A. platanoides in some years. Disease can already occur at the detection limit of the pathogens. The 5% infection thresholds for V. dahliae were at 1 (A. platanoides) vs. 3 (C. bignonioides) colony-forming units (CFU) g−1 soil. Analysis of spatial relationships indicated that diseased plants had a higher influence on neighbouring plants at low
V. dahliae inoculum densities (<5 CFU g−1 soil) than at high densities (≥5 CFU g−1 soil). Seventy-four percent of the diseased plants recovered during the following year. After that year, recovered plants
had a significantly higher probability of becoming diseased again than plants that were healthy during the two previous years,
at high inoculum densities of V. dahliae, indicating that inoculum density in the soil, rather than incomplete recovery, was the most important factor for disease
development. 相似文献

In some areas of Japan, yellow spots with white pustules on leaves, stems, petioles, peduncles and calyces were found on Ipomoea nil, I. triloba, I. lacunosa and I. hederacea var. integriuscula. We demonstrated that the diseases on I. nil, I. triloba and I. lacunosa were caused by host-specific strains of Albugo ipomoeae-panduratae and defined three forma speciales of the fungus, respectively, for the three Ipomoea species: “f. sp. nile”, “f. sp. trilobae” and “f. sp. lacunosae”. Because the diseases were new to Japan, we coined the Japanese name “shirosabi-byo”, which means white rust. We also showed
that the disease on I. hederacea var. integriuscula was caused by A. ipomoeae-hardwickii. We named this new disease “white rust (shirosabi-byo in Japanese)”. 相似文献

Five commercial nurseries were sampled in 2007 to evaluate the grapevine nursery propagation process as a source of Petri
disease pathogens (Phaeoacremonium spp. and Phaeomoniella chlamydospora). Samples were taken at four stages of the propagation process: pre-grafting hydration tanks, scissors used for cutting buds,
grafting machines and peat used to promote root development. All samples were analysed using two different techniques: nested
PCR using specific primers for Phaeoacremonium spp. (Pm1/Pm2) and Pa. chlamydospora (Pch1/Pch2); and fungal isolation by culturing on semi-selective medium. Either Phaeoacremonium spp. or Pa. chlamydospora were detected at any of these stages, and more importantly they were viable since they were detected by isolating on culturing
medium. Additionally, the importance of grapevine rootstock mother fields as sources of inoculum in the nurseries was studied.
Fourteen grapevine rootstock mother fields were surveyed in 2006 and 2007 for the occurrence of fungal trunk pathogens. A
total of 16.4% and 30% of the plants sampled in 2006 and 2007, respectively were infected. Petri disease pathogens (Pa. chlamydospora, Phaeoacremonium aleophilum, Pm. parasiticum) and several Botryosphaeriaceae species (Neofusicoccum parvum, Botryosphaeria dothidea, Lasiodiplodia theobromae, N. australe, N. mediterraneum and N. vitifusiforme) and Phomopsis viticola were isolated. This is the first time N. mediterraneum has been isolated from grapevines and the first report of N. australe, N. mediterraneum and N. vitifusiforme in Spain. This work shows that grapevine rootstock mother plants and the propagation process of grapevine plants should be
considered as important sources of inoculum for fungal trunk pathogens, and especially of Petri disease pathogens. 相似文献

Footrot disease due to Nectria haematococca (anamorph Fusarium solani f.sp. pisi) is an economically important disease of peas globally. However, our ability to predict accurately the likelihood of footrot
infections is limited because there is no method to determine inoculum density prior to planting. In this research, a PCR-based
assay was developed to quantify the pea pathogenicity gene (PEP3), exclusive to highly pathogenic forms of N. haematococca, from DNA extracted from agricultural field soils. The applicability of using quantitative PCR (qPCR) to measure this gene
in soil was validated, and the relationship between PEP3 gene numbers and footrot disease was also studied. Results showed that the quantitative assay is both efficient and specific;
amplification efficiency of the Q-PCR assay for the PEP3 gene was 92%. Gene copy numbers were shown to vary significantly (P = 0.01) between fields, and were positively correlated to the number of spores of pathogenic N. haematococca, and to footrot disease. PEP3 numbers of up to 100 g−1 soil constituted a threshold number for infection—potentially capable of causing economically significant pea footrot disease.
The density of virulent N. haematococca in soil fields capable of causing footrot disease could be determined with a high degree of accuracy, with this assay. It
offers the opportunity for prediction of pea footrot infections in agricultural soils prior to cultivation. 相似文献

A new disease was found in Japan, on celery (Apium graveolens var. dulce) having severe chlorotic leaf spot, stunt, and dwarf with leaf curl. A spore suspension from the fungus isolated from affected
plants induced identical symptoms 14 days after plants were sprayed. Identification and molecular characterization showed
that the causal agent is Colletotrichum simmondsii. This report is the first of stunt anthracnose on celery caused by C. simmondsii. We propose the name “stunt anthracnose” for the new disease. Colletotrichum acutatum sensu lato, as reference pathogen of celery anthracnose, should be changed to C. fioriniae based on morphological and molecular characteristics. 相似文献

Three begomovirus isolates were obtained from tomato plants showing leaf curl symptoms in Guangxi province of China. Typical
begomovirus DNA components representing the three isolates (GX-1, GX-2 and GX-3) were cloned and their full-length sequences
were determined to be 2752 nucleotides. Nucleotide identities among the three viral sequences were 98.9–99.7%, but all shared
<86.7% nucleotide sequence identity with other reported begomoviruses. The sequence data indicated that GX-1, GX-2 and GX-3
are isolates of a distinct begomovirus species for which the name Tomato leaf curl Guangxi virus (ToLCGXV) is proposed. Further
analysis indicated that ToLCGXV probably originated through recombination among viruses related to Ageratum yellow vein virus,
Tomato leaf curl China virus and Euphorbia leaf curl virus. PCR and Southern blot analyses demonstrated that isolates GX-1
and GX-2 were associated with DNAβ components, but not isolate GX-3. Sequence comparisons revealed that GX-1 and GX-2 DNAβ
components shared the highest sequence identity (86.2%) with that of Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV). An infectious
construct of ToLCGXV isolate GX-1 (ToLCGXV-GX) was produced and determined to be highly infectious in Nicotiana benthamiana, N. glutinosa, tobacco cvs. Samsun and Xanthi, tomato and Petunia hybrida plants inducing leaf curl and stunting symptoms. Co-inoculation of tomato plants with ToLCGXV-GX and TYLCCNV DNAβ resulted
in disease symptoms similar to that caused by ToLCGXV-GX alone or that observed in infected field tomato plants. 相似文献

Genes encoding an acidic wheat class IV chitinase (383), an acidic wheat β 1,3-glucanase (638) and a rice cationic peroxidase
(POC1) were introduced into ‘Nantes Coreless’ carrot (Daucus carota) by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The genes were introduced singly or in various combinations followed by selection imposed by the
herbicide phosphinothricin. Regenerated plantlets were screened for presence and expression of the three transgenes using
PCR, Southern and Northern hybridisations. Eighteen transgenic lines expressing a single transgene and 2 lines each co-expressing
638/383 and 383/POC1 were assessed for resistance to the necrotrophic fungal pathogens Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Percentage leaf area diseased was measured 4 and 7 days after inoculation (dai) and compared to non-transformed control
plants. Six lines expressing β-1,3-glucanase 638 alone had no enhanced resistance to B. cinerea at 4 dai and only slight resistance to S. sclerotiorum; there was no effect at 7 dai. Two out of the six lines expressing 383 alone had enhanced tolerance to both pathogens with
a 20–50% reduction in disease development at 7 dai. Two lines co-expressing 638/383 had slight reductions in disease by (10–20%)
similar to that of the lines expressing chitinase 383 alone. Highest levels of disease resistance were seen in transgenic
lines expressing POC1, alone or in combination with chitinase 383. Disease symptoms were slower to develop and symptoms were
reduced by up to 90% for B. cinerea and 70% for S. sclerotiorum. The 383/POC1 co-expressing plants developed disease at levels similar to that of POC1 alone. Petioles of plants over-expressing
POC1 had higher levels of lignin accumulation constitutively compared to control plants, which was greatly enhanced following
inoculation with S. sclerotiorum. These results indicate that peroxidase over-expression can lead to significant disease reduction against necrotrophic pathogens
in transgenic carrot plants. 相似文献
