A leaf spot disease of Nymphaea alba in the Netherlands     

H. A. van der AA 《European journal of plant pathology / European Foundation for Plant Pathology》1978,84(3):109-115

A destructive leaf spot disease was found onNymphaea alba in the lakes near Kortenhoef, Netherlands. After comparison of fresh material and herbarium specimens the causal agent is namedColletotrichum nymphaeae (Pass.) van der Aa, comb. nov. Synonymy, morphology and cultural characters of the fungus are described and discussed. Some remarks on the relationship with several host plants are given and the provisional conclusion is that the species is a widespread parasite, but that the destructive attack in the Kortenhoef region is probably caused by a combination of various factors.  相似文献

Influence of organic phosphorus on reproductive performance and metabolic profiles of anoestrous Farafra ewes in subtropics at the end of breeding season          下载免费PDF全文

W Senosy  AY Kassab  HA Hamdon  AA Mohammed 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2018,53(4):904-913

The effect of organic phosphorus on metabolic, haematological and hormonal status, restoration of ovarian functions and conception rate in anoestrous Farafra ewes in subtropics were evaluated. Anoestrous Farafra ewes (n  = 24; 34.72 ± 0.52 kg body weight) were allocated into two equal groups: control and phosphorus groups. The ewes of phosphorus group were treated with sodium 4‐dimethylamino‐2‐methyl‐phenyl‐phosphonate as an organic bound phosphorous twice a week for successive 3 weeks. Ovarian follicle development and corpora lutea were checked three times a week till occurrence of oestrus using ultrasonography while pregnancy was confirmed at 30 days post‐service. Plasma metabolites, reproductive hormones, thyroid hormones and minerals were detected at weeks ?2, ?1, 0 (mating day) and + 4 weeks post‐oestrus. Phosphorus group had significantly (p  < .05) short interval to oestrous resumption if compared to control ewes (2.1 ± 0.8 weeks vs . 4.6 ± 1.1 weeks). In addition, phosphorous supplementation significantly (p  < .05) increased the number of antral follicles (developed and their sizes in addition to sizes of corpora lutea (8.72 ± 0.3 mm vs . 7.46 ± 0.9 mm) as well. Number of services per conception (2.6 vs . 1.4; p  < .01) was higher in control group than that of phosphorus group. Pregnancy rate (80 vs . 50%) was significantly (p  < .01) higher in phosphorus group when compared to control. White blood cells in treated ewes (10.8 ± 0.44; p  < .05) and monocytes (2.93 ± 0.13; p  < .01) were higher than that of control group (white blood cells; 9.53 ± 0.50 and monocytes; 2.24 ± 0.14). Metabolic parameters did not differ between phosphorus and control groups during different times of treatment. It could be concluded that phosphorous administration to anoestrous Farafra ewes in subtropics could improve reproductive performance and restore ovarian activity at the end of spring and early summer.  相似文献   

Long-term survival of sclerotia of Sclerotium cepivorum and Stromatinia gladioli     

J. R. COLEY-SMITH  CHRISTINE M. MITCHELL  CLAIRE E. SANSFORD 《Plant pathology》1990,39(1):58-69

In an experiment with pure-culture sclerotia of Sclerotium cepivorum and Stromatinia gladioli a large proportion of the sclerotia survived burial for 20 years in the field in the absence of host plants. Some evidence for metabolic activity or leakage leading to the gradual erosion of the sclerotial contents was obtained with S. cepivorum . The results of other experiments suggested that, for unknown reasons, a variable proportion of sclerotia formed naturally on infected plants may decay shortly after their formation, but those which survive beyond this limited period are likely to remain viable for many years. The viability of sclerotia was also reduced by prolonged flooding, but the period for which land would have to be under water excludes this as a method of eliminating sclerotia from infested land in the UK. Treatment with the mycoparasite Teratosperma oligocladum did not affect the survival or infectivity of sclerotia of S. cepivorum or S. gladioli .  相似文献   

Diagnosis of potato virus Y^N: a comparison between polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies and a biological assay     

D. G. ROSE  SUSAN McCARRA  D. H. MITCHELL 《Plant pathology》1987,36(1):95-99

In an investigation conducted over 5 years, tests of samples from the Scottish Seed Potato Classification Scheme showed that when monoclonal antibodies (McABs) were used with the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), they reliably detected the tobacco veinal necrosis strain of potato virus Y (PVY^N). Polyclonal antibodies used in the first 3 years of the investigation were unreliable in differentiating PVY^N from the ordinary strain (PVY^N). It is suggested that ELISA and McABs be routinely used to diagnose PVY^N and that all samples which give negative results be further assayed biologically to identify the virus or to indicate strains of PVY^N not detectable by the McAB. Problems encountered with both assay systems are discussed.  相似文献   

Effect of Coniothyrium minitans on sclerotial survival and apothecial production of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in field-grown oilseed rape   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

M. P. McQUILKEN  S. J. MITCHELL  S. P BUDGE  J. M. WHIPPS  J. S. FENLON  S. A. ARCHER 《Plant pathology》1995,44(5):883-896

In two field trials with oilseed rape, Coniothyrium minitans was applied to soil as a maizemeal-perlite preparation in order to determine its effect on sclerotial survival and apothecial production of Sclerotinia selerotiorum. The mycoparasite infected sclerotia and decreased sclerotial survival, carpogenic germination and production of apothecia. Effects were greatest when inoculum of C. minitans was applied in autumn, at the time of sowing, rather than when it was applied in spring. C. minitans survived in soil for 2 years and spread to adjacent control plots and infected sclerotia within those plots. However, despite the fact that the inoculum potential of S. selerotiorum was reduced by C. minitans treatment, no disease control was obtained either in trial 1, where disease levels were low (0-20% of plant stems affected), or in trial 2, where disease levels were high (up to 70% of plant stems affected). Possible reasons for this failure of C minitans to control sclerotinia disease in oilseed rape, and strategies to improve its efficacy in the field, are discussed.  相似文献

DIURETIC RENAL SCINTIGRAPHY IN NORMAL DOGS     

SILKE HECHT  GREGORY B. DANIEL  SALLY K. MITCHELL 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》2006,47(6):602-608

Diuretic renal scintigraphy is commonly used in human medicine to differentiate obstructive from nonobstructive pyelectasia. In order to determine normal parameters, 99mTc-DTPA renal scintigraphy was performed twice in 20 healthy adult Mongrel dogs. Each dog was injected with either 3.0 mg/kg furosemide or an equivalent volume of saline 4.5 min following injection of the radiopharmaceutical. The following parameters were evaluated: (1) global and individual glomerular filtration rate (GFR); (2) time of peak (TOP) of the time-activity curve (TAC); (3) shape of the TAC; (4) individual kidney excretion half-time (T1/2); (5) proportion of maximum activity measured at end of study (8 min); (6) time of onset; and (7) duration of the effect of the diuretic. Most TAC in the diuretic renography group showed a steep drop in the curve following administration of the diuretic compared with a gradual slope in the saline control group. There was a statistically significant difference in T1/2 between the control renograms (median 10.25 min, range 4.41-18.07 min) and the diuretic renograms (median 4.16 min, range 3.62-5.90 min). There was a statistically significant difference in percentage maximum activity between the control renograms (median 65.25%, range 48.27-93.68%) and the diuretic renograms (median 48.54%, range 35.64-58.76%). Median time of onset of the diuretic effect was 1.10 min (0.20-2.40 min), and median duration was 0.83 min (0.30-2.35 min).  相似文献   

Influence of high dietary vitamin E supplementation on egg production and plasma characteristics in hens subjected to heat stress     

S. BOLLENGIER-LEE  M. A. MITCHELL  D. B. UTOMO  P. E. V. WILLIAMS  C. C. WHITEHEAD 《British poultry science》1998,39(1):106-112

1. The effects of different dietary concentrations of vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol acetate) were investigated in 2 experiments on laying hens exposed to chronic heat stress at 32C. 2. In the first experiment, egg production and plasma concentrations of calcium and egg yolk precursors were measured in 24 hens before, during and after a stress period of one week and fed on diets containing 10 or 500 mg vitamin E/kg. 3. In the second, larger experiment, egg production and food intake were measured in 300 hens housed in 2 temperature-controlled rooms and fed on diets containing 10, 125 or 500 mg vitamin E/kg. Birds in room 1 were stressed from 24 to 28 weeks of age and those in room 2 from 32 to 36 weeks. 4. In experiment 1, egg production and egg weight were significantly higher (72.6 vs 51.2%, P < 0.05 and 66.6 vs 63.1 g, P < 0.005 respectively) during and after the period of stress in the group given 500 mg vitamin E/kg. Plasma concentrations of calcium, vitellogenin (zinc) and VLDL (triglyceride) were also higher in this group. 5. In experiment 2, egg production was significantly higher (65.4 vs 56.2%, P < 0.05) during and after the period of heat stress in birds in room 1 fed on the diet containing 500 mg vitamin E/kg. Egg production was also higher (49.9% vs 44.7%) on this treatment during the stress period in room 2, though the difference was not significant (P < 0.10). Egg weight and food intake were unaffected by treatment in either room. 6. It is concluded that dietary supplementation with extra vitamin E can, at least in part, alleviate the adverse effects of chronic heat stress in laying hens, perhaps by maintaining the supply of egg precursors in plasma.  相似文献
