Biological control of soil-borne pathogens by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi has been repeatedly demonstrated. However, their role in the control of above-ground hemibiotrophic pathogens is less conclusive. Here, we investigated in vitro the impact of an AM fungus on Phytophthora infestans in potato plants. The leaf infection index was decreased in mycorrhizal potato plants. Real-Time Quantitative PCR revealed the induction of two pathogenesis related genes (PR1 and PR2) in the leaves of mycorrhizal plants shortly after infection with P. infestans. These results suggested a systemic resistance in mycorrhizal plants, related to the priming of the two PR genes in potato. 相似文献

In the Oxisols of the eastern plains of Colombia, the large native anecic earthworm Martiodrilus sp. is an abundant ecosystem engineer producing long-lasting casts and burrows. Casts deposited in the soil by this species have been estimated at several tonnes per hectare per year. The physical and chemical processes occurring in these casts have never been studied. In this study, we compared the dynamics of water content (WC), total C (Ctot), and available N (Navail) contents, and the distribution in size of aggregates in ageing below-ground casts of this species and in the bulk soil. In a native herbaceous savannah and a sown grass/legume pasture (Brachiaria humidicola, Arachis pintoi, Desmodium ovalifolium and Stylosanthes capitata), fresh surface casts were experimentally injected into artificial burrows of 1 cm Ø and 10 cm depth and sampled at different dates during a total period of 120 days. The injection procedure used resulted in a 34% decrease in WC of the casts from the sown pasture and reduced the mean mass diameter (MMD) of the aggregates of casts from the savannah by 19%. Other properties were not significantly affected by the procedure.For injected casts in both grasslands, MMD and Ctot were stable during cast ageing while WC and Navail were initially at levels several times higher than the bulk soil and decreased to similar bulk soil values with ageing. The Ctot was twice and one third higher in casts compared with the bulk soil in the pasture and the savannah, respectively. Overall means for cast MMD (8.3 and 7.4 mm) were twice as high as those in the bulk soil (3.8 mm) in the savannah and the pasture, respectively. However, MMD was not significantly different between the casts and the bulk soil in two occasions in the pasture. Available nitrogen (Navail) in injected casts was initially greater than bulk soil levels, reaching maximum levels just after injection (116 and 93 mg kg−1) and remained significantly greater during 1-2 weeks, in the savannah and the pasture, respectively. In conclusion, the tonnes of casts deposited in the soil profile by Martiodrilus sp. each year are likely to contribute greatly to plant nutrition and to the regulation of the soil structure. For each anecic earthworm species, the ecological impact of its below-ground casts is likely to be as important as its surface casts. 相似文献

Plague is a zoonotic disease (transmitted mainly by fleas and maintained in nature by rodents) that causes severe acute illness in humans. We present a human plague case who became infected by the bite of a wild Gunnison's prairie dog, and a good practical example of the One Health approach that resulted in a rapid public health response. The exposure occurred while the animal was being transported for relocation to a wildlife refuge after being trapped in a plague enzootic area. This is the first report of a human plague case resulting from the bite of a Gunnison's prairie dog. Additionally, we present an observation of a longer incubation period for plague in captive prairie dogs, leading to a recommendation for a longer quarantine period for prairie dogs during translocation efforts. 相似文献

The diagnostic techniques most widely used for detecting brucellosis caused by Brucella ovis are serological tests such as complement fixation (CFT), agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID), and ELISAs. However, to our knowledge, milk tests, with the advantage that samples may be taken in a non invasive manner, have not been investigated as diagnostic tools. We studied 144 samples of milk and sera from lactating ewes, comparing bacteriological studies, serological and milk tests using Brucella canis and B. ovis antigens. A group of 75 ewes in an uninfected flock were serologically negative to rapid slide agglutination test (RSAT), indirect ELISA (IELISA)-B. canis, AGID and IELISA-B. ovis. The milk of these ewes had an IELISA-B. canis mean (%P) value of 16.18 (S.D. 5.63), while the IELISA-B. ovis had a mean (%P) value of 12.52 (S.D. 4.94). A cut-off value of (%P) 27.44 (+2 S.D.) or (%P) 33 (+3 S.D.) was determined by milk-ELISA-B. canis and (%P) 22.4 (+2 S.D.) and (%P) 27.34 (+3 S.D.) by milk-IELISA-B. ovis. These cut-off values were adjusted by receiver-operator characteristics (ROC) analysis using 23 positive samples from infected ewes, which indicated a milk-IELISA-B. canis cut-off value of (%P) 33 and milk-IELISA-B. ovis of (%P) 26 with 100% sensitivity and specificity. Based on our results, we propose that, following a study of a larger number of samples, the milk-IELISA-B. canis could be considered a suitable test for the diagnosis of B. ovis brucellosis in lactating ewes. 相似文献

Measurement is one of the fundamental building blocks of quantum-information processing systems. Partial measurement, where full wavefunction collapse is not the only outcome, provides a detailed test of the measurement process. We introduce quantum-state tomography in a superconducting qubit that exhibits high-fidelity single-shot measurement. For the two probabilistic outcomes of partial measurement, we find either a full collapse or a coherent yet nonunitary evolution of the state. This latter behavior explicitly confirms modern quantum-measurement theory and may prove important for error-correction algorithms in quantum computation. 相似文献

Constant and oscillating egg incubation temperatures on embryonic development and early larval morphology were studied in longfin yellowtail (Seriola rivoliana Valenciennes). We investigated the effects of constant temperatures from 16 to 32°C on embryo development and larval morphology at hatch, and whether oscillating temperature during embryogenesis could lead to larval morphological variations. After hatching, larval morphology and development during yolk sac (YS) utilization were examined in larvae at constant temperatures and larvae at 25°C that had oscillating temperature during egg incubation. Hatching rates were > 75%, only decreasing to ~ 50% at 30°C. At constant temperatures, the largest larvae occurred at 22 and 24°C. The oscillating temperature did not affect the timing of embryo development but resulted in larger and smaller larvae with a smaller and bigger YS, respectively, with a similar hatching time. Therefore, a growth response occurred in embryos during a window of development before hatching, depending on the adaptive response to temperature (spawn‐specific). After hatching, most of the YS was absorbed within 24 hr in all treatments, and the growth of the larval head was a priority with an optimal development at 26°C. There was compensatory growth in smaller larvae resulting in similar sizes after YS utilization, but larvae showed variations in body structure that could be important in further aquaculture research. 相似文献

This study investigates the plastic responses after shoot removal of Amaranthus cruentus L. and A. hypochondriacus L. This practice is common in the Sierra Norte de Puebla, Mexico, where both species are cultivated and used as a food source during the vegetative stage. Empirical observations indicate that biomass increases in clipped plants. The experimental study carried out on both species of Amaranthus imitated local farm management. Three levels of shoot removal were applied to plants of both species: Control, 10% and 40%. In A. cruentus plants with 10% of the shoot removed produced more stalk biomass, more leaves, greater leaf area, greater length of primary branches and a larger number of secondary branches than the control plants. In A. hypochondriacus, there were no differences among levels of shoot removal in stem biomass; in general, the number of primary and secondary branches in control plants was greater than that in clipped plants. Patterns of biomass allocation revealed important differences between species, as clipped plants allocated more biomass to seeds in A. cruentus, while control plants allocated more to leaves in A. hypochondriacus. Furthermore, changes in response at the primary branch (secondary branches, leaf biomass, and area) level were observed between species. In general, clipped plants of A. cruentus overcompensate for the damage, while this response was not evident in clipped plants of A. hypochondriacus. Instead, this species showed high tolerance to damage. The phenotypically plastic responses expressed for both species can be used as a guide to improve management of these plants by local farmers from the Sierra. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of leaf volatiles in Anemopsis californica (Nutt.) Hook. and Arn. (A. californica) was performed using steam distillation, solid-phase microextraction, and supercritical fluid extraction. Thirty-eight compounds were detected and identified by gas chromatography; elemicin was the major component of the leaf volatiles. While the composition of the leaf volatiles varied with method of extraction, alpha-pinene, sabinene, beta-phellandrene, 1,8-cineole, piperitone, methyl eugenol, (E)-caryophyllene, and elemicin were usually present in readily detectable amounts. Greenhouse-reared clones of a wild population of A. californica had an identical leaf volatile composition with the parent plants. Steam-distilled oil had antimicrobial properties against 3 (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Geotrichim candidum) of 11 microbial species tested. Some of this bioactivity could be accounted for by the alpha-pinene in the oil. 相似文献
