ABSTRACT Seed certification and the use of cultivars containing one of two, probably allelic, recessive genes, mo1(1) and mo1(2), are the principal control methods for Lettuce mosaic virus (LMV) in lettuce. Although for a few LMV isolates, mo1(2) confers resistance with most isolates, the genes mo1(1) or mo1(2) confer a tolerance, and virus accumulation is readily detected in mo1-carrying plants. This phenotype complicates evaluation of the resistance status, in particular for mo1(1), for which there are no viral strains against which a true resistance is expressed. Two green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged viruses were constructed, derived from a non-resistance breaking isolate (LMV-0) and from a resistance-breaking isolate (LMV-E). An evaluation of 101 cultivars of known status was carried out with these recombinant viruses. Using the LMV-0-derived recombinant, identification of mo1-carrying cultivars was simple because, contrary to its wild-type parent, systemic movement of LMV-0-GFP was abolished in resistant plants. This assay detected four cases of misidentification of resistance status. In all these cases, further tests confirmed that the prior resistance status information was incorrect, so that a 100% correlation was observed between LMV-0-GFP behavior and the mo1 resistance status. Similarly, the LMV-E-derived recombinant allowed the identification of mo1(2) lettuce lines because its systemic movement was restricted in mo1(2) lines but not in susceptible or in mo1(1) lines. The tagged viruses were able to systemically invade another host, pea, irrespective of its resistance status against another member of the genus Potyvirus, Pea seed-borne mosaic virus. The use of these recombinant viruses could therefore greatly facilitate LMV resistance evaluation and speed up lettuce breeding programs.  相似文献   

The afa-related gene cluster in necrotoxigenic and other Escherichia coli from animals belongs to the afa-8 variant     

Gérardin J  Lalioui L  Jacquemin E  Le Bouguénec C  Mainil JG 《Veterinary microbiology》2000,76(2):175-184

Six hundred and nine necrotoxigenic Escherichia coli type 1 and 2 (NTEC1 and NTEC2) and non-NTEC isolated in Western and Southern Europe, North Africa and Canada from diseased calves, pigs, humans, poultry, and 55 isolated from asymptomatic calves were studied for the identification of afa-related sequences to the recently described afa-7 and afa-8 gene cluster variants from two bovine Escherichia coli (Lalioui et al., 1999). Colony hybridization and PCR assays for the afaD-7, afaE-7, afaD-8 and afaE-8 identified the afa-related sequences to the afa-8 gene cluster in most (67/79; 85%) of the E. coli positive with the Afa-f family probe and in 14 additional strains negative with the Afa-f probe. No E. coli was positive for the afa-7 gene cluster. The existence of afa-8 positive strains was thus confirmed among bovine E. coli and for the first time among porcine, poultry and human E. coli. Sequencing of the afaE-8 amplicon of nine strains from the different host species showed a high degree of conservation (>95% at the DNA level; >92% at the amino-acid level). The afa-8 gene cluster was more frequent in E. coli from diseased calves (18%) than from piglets (12%), humans (6%) and poultry (5%). Bovine NTEC2 (26%) were more frequently positive than NTEC 1 (20%) and non-NTEC (11%). E. coli isolated from asymptomatic calves were rarely positive: one NTEC2 (3%) and no non-NTEC. The afa-8 gene cluster was located on the Vir plasmid in 11/23 NTEC2, but no plasmid localization was detected in NTEC1 or non-NTEC.  相似文献   

A serological survey on classical swine fever (CSF), Aujeszky's disease (AD) and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus infections in French wild boars from 1991 to 1998   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5

In early 1992, a CSF epizootic was clinically recognised in a wild boar population of approximately 1300 animals within an area of 250km(2) located in the east of France. In order to check the CSF situation in wild boars outside this area, a serological survey was carried out in the rest of France, for 8 consecutive years (1991-1998). This paper reports on the results obtained during this survey which included wild boars shot during the hunting period but also boars reared within fences. Around 1000-2700 sera a year were tested for the presence of antibodies to classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and also to Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV). Out of 12025 sera tested over the whole period, 80 wild boars were found positive for CSF antibodies. Sixty of them were collected on wild boars shot during the years 1992-1994 in the epizootic area located in east of France and 10 were collected in Corsica during the years 1994-1996. The last four positive samples were single reactors coming from areas or farms, which were thereafter confirmed to be serologically negative. These results together with the fact that no disease has been reported so far illustrate that the French wild boar population is probably not concerned by CSF infection (excepted in the east of France where the disease has now become enzootic). Two hundred and forty nine sera were initially detected as CSF positive but confirmed secondarily as positive for border disease (BD) antibodies. This finding shows that wild boars are also susceptible to infection by ruminant pestiviruses. Four hundred and twenty three wild boars have been found positive for ADV antibodies. In addition, from 1993 to 1995, 909 samples were tested for the presence of antibodies to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). Thirty three of them were positive. The results on AD and PRRS antibody detection show that wild boars may constitute a reservoir for various infectious diseases of pigs.  相似文献

Quantification of DNA of citrus huanglongbing pathogen in diseased leaves using competitive PCR     

Kunimasa Kawabe  Nguyen Thi Ngoc Truc  Bui Thi Ngoc Lan  Le Thi Thu Hong  Masatoshi Onuki 《Journal of General Plant Pathology》2006,72(6):355-359

A quantification system for huanglongbing pathogen using a competitive polymerase chain reaction method and image-analyzing software were developed to obtain precise results. Significant differences in the quantity of pathogen were thus determined in leaves of two citrus cultivars commonly cultivated in southern Vietnam. Less pathogen-related DNA was detected from the tissue of citrus cultivars that are believed to be more tolerant than susceptible cultivars. The quantification system will be used in studies on pathogen proliferation and movement inside citrus tissue.  相似文献

Characterization by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry of sterols in saccharomyces cerevisiae during autolysis.     

Y Le Fur  G Maume  M Feuillat  B F Maume 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》1999,47(7):2860-2864

Yeast autolysis affects membrane stability and induces a release of vacuolar enzymes into the cell cytoplasm. Consecutively, it was important to study the evolution of sterol content in Saccharomycescerevisiae for a fourteen day period of accelerated autolysis. Unesterified and esterified sterols were analyzed both in the biomass and in the autolysis medium. Ten sterols were identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. A second group of six sterols was separated and partially characterized. Among the first group of 10 sterols, a dehydroergosterol was identified as ergosta-5, 7,9(11),22-tetraen-3beta-ol, not yet charaterized in S. cerevisiae. Yeast autolysis induced a decrease of esterified sterol content, especially first intermediates in the sequence of the ergosterol biosynthesis, as zymosterol. In contrast, the yeast autolysis resulted in the release of a low quantity of sterols into the medium. At the end of the fourteenth day of autolysis, 0.015% of the total sterol content of the initial biomass was found in the medium.  相似文献
