Relationships of an Italian isolate of tomato yellow leaf curl geminivirus from Sardinia (TYLCV-S) with its whitefly vectorBemisia tabaci were studied by means of experimental transmissions from tomato to tomato plants. TYLCV-S was confirmed to be transmitted in a persistent, circulative manner. The minimum latent period in the vector was between 17 and 20 h from the beginning of the acquisition access period (AAP). The maximum retention of infectivity was 8 days from the end of the AAP. Both acquisition and inoculation feeding times influenced the detected proportion of infective insects, with patterns well described by an exponential model. Acquisition was more efficient than inoculation. Males were significantly less efficient vectors than females. Nymphs were as efficient as adults in acquiring the virus. The length of AAP influenced both the retention of infectivity, and the pattern of transmission in serial transfer transmission tests with individual females. No significant difference in transmission efficiency was detected between two colonies ofB. tabaci, one inducing typical silverleaf symptoms on squash, the other inducing only mild symptoms with more than 50 whiteflies per plant. The phenomenon of periodic acquisition was not unequivocally proved for TYLCV-S.Research supported by the National Research Council of Italy, Special Project RAISA, Sub-project N. 2.

Vitamin E supplementation has become a common procedure to promote growth and health and improve the qualitative characteristics of farm animals. It has been demonstrated to be an efficient strategy for improving their reproductive function. Germ cells are particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage and may thus require additional antioxidant protection. The aim of this review is to give a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge of the biochemistry and physiology of vitamin E; successively, the effect of this compound on the reproductive activity of rabbit buck is accurately described. In particular, this review examines studies on the effects of animal age, dose and duration of vitamin E supplementation, as well as the co-supplementation with selenium, vitamin C and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Several investigations have shown beneficial effects in bucks supplemented with vitamin E levels higher than the standard dietary requirement (50 mg/kg) particularly when the semen is stored. However, the exact dietary intake of vitamin E should be decided according to specific tissue needs for the individual vitamin E forms and the specific saturation markers. 相似文献

Flavescence dorée (FD) is one of the most economically important grapevine diseases in Southern Europe, and it is associated with phytoplasmas, phloem-limited wall-less bacteria. Recovery from disease naturally occurs in infected grapevines during the following seasons after infection. The capability of the leafhopper vector Scaphoideus titanus to acquire FD phytoplasma (FDP) from recovered and infected grapevines of Barbera and Nebbiolo varieties was investigated in North-western Italy vineyards monitored from 2007 to 2011. Pathogen concentration was quantified by real-time PCR in FDP-infected grapevines and broad beans, also used as source plants under controlled conditions, to correlate acquisition capabilities and phytoplasma titre in source plants. S. titanus acquired FDP from infected, but not from recovered, grapevines. FDP titre was higher in Barbera than in Nebbiolo and higher in summer than in spring, and acquisition efficiency and pathogen titre in source plants were positively correlated, both in field and laboratory conditions. Recovered plants do not represent a source of inoculum for the vector and therefore do not contribute to FDP spread. The inability of recovered plants to serve as FDP acquisition sources for the vector as well as the effect of the season and of the two grapevine varieties on the FDP acquisition efficiency are relevant results to re-design disease management practices, especially since insecticide treatments against the vector are not fully effective, and newly designed successful control strategies are required. 相似文献

Influence of tree-to-tree competition on nutrient resorption is still not well understood. To contribute filling this gap, we assessed the effects of thinning (0, 20 and 30 % extraction of basal area) and canopy type (beech–pine vs. pine subplots) on needle dry weight, needle length, nutrient content and nutrient resorption (N, P and K) in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) needles of different cohorts, 8–9 years after thinning. Thinning and canopy type often concurrently affected needle morphology (e.g. lighter and shorter needles in 30 % thinning, heavier and longer needles in pine canopy on the first year of study) and nutrient content (e.g. decrease in N, P and K in 30 %; N, P and K higher in pine canopy on the first year of study). However, effects of thinning appeared only in older cohorts for N and P but were found in old and new cohorts for needle dry weight, needle length and K, indicating that some thinning effects remained after 8–9 years. Canopy effects on morphology and nutrient content were more frequent in recent cohorts, in relation to an increase in beech cover over time. While no clear effects of thinning on the nutrient resorption were observed, higher values were observed in the pine than in the mixed canopy, which could be related to a higher Scots pine stem growth in those patches. The observed differences between treatments will likely increase as the stand develops, probably leading to beech trees being dominant, and as future thinnings are carried out. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Thirty-eight bacterial strains isolated from hazelnut (Corylus avellana) cv. Tonda Gentile delle Langhe showing a twig dieback in Piedmont and Sardinia, Italy, were studied by a polyphasic approach. All strains were assessed by fatty acids analysis and repetitive sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fingerprinting using BOX and ERIC primer sets. Representative strains also were assessed by sequencing the 16S rDNA and hrpL genes, determining the presence of the syrB gene, testing their biochemical and nutritional characteristics, and determining their pathogenicity to hazelnut and other plants species or plant organs. Moreover, they were compared with reference strains of other phytopathogenic pseudomonads. The strains from hazelnut belong to Pseudomonas syringae (sensu latu), LOPAT group Ia. Both fatty acids and repetitive-sequence-based PCR clearly discriminate such strains from other Pseudomonas spp., including P. avellanae and other P. syringae pathovars as well as P. syringae pv. syringae strains from hazelnut. Also, the sequencing of 16S rDNA and hrpL genes differentiated them from P. avellanae and from P. syringae pv. syringae. They did not possess the syrB gene. Some nutritional tests also differentiated them from related P. syringae pathovars. Upon artificial inoculation, these strains incited severe twig diebacks only on hazelnut. Our results justify the creation of a new pathovar because the strains from hazelnut constitute a homogeneous group and a discrete phenon. The name of P. syringae pv. coryli is proposed and criteria for routine identification are presented. 相似文献

The population dynamics of naturally-occurring antibiotic producing and nitrogen fixing rhizobacteria, as well as of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) was investigated for a hybrid of maize (Lo964×Lo1016) in comparison to its two parental lines (Lo964 and Lo1016), during four successive 5-week-long growth cycles in the same pot. Beneficial rhizobacteria, such as nitrogen fixers and 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) and pyrrolnitrin (PRN) producers, as well as AMF were stimulated in the hybrid rhizosphere earlier than in those of the two parental lines. In fact, they were molecularly detected in all rhizospheric samples of the hybrid, independently of the cycle, whereas for the parental lines positive detections occurred only for samples collected after at least two growth cycles. Interestingly, a MPN-PCR approach on rhizospheric DNA samples indicated that, when detected, beneficial rhizobacteria reached similar density in all maize genotypes (2×103 to 2.2×104 target DNA sequences/g?1 of root). Concerning the AMF, even if the three maize genotypes were cultivated in the same soil, it appears that each maize genotype stimulates the AMF population differently. Both the hybrid and the Lo964 line were able to select, in the observed time period, their own adapted phylogenetic AMF subgroups (Glomus A for the hybrid, Archeospora for Lo964), whereas the Lo1016 line was not. 相似文献

Context
Herbicide treatments in viticulture can generate highly contrasting mosaics of vegetated and bare vineyards, of which vegetated fields often provide better conditions for biodiversity. In southern Switzerland, where herbicides are applied at large scales, vegetated vineyards are limited in extent and isolated from one another, potentially limiting the distribution and dispersal ability of organisms.
ObjectivesWe tested the separate and interactive effects of habitat amount and fragmentation on invertebrate abundance using a multi-scale framework, along with additional environmental factors. We identified which variables at which scales were most important in predicting patterns of invertebrate abundance.
MethodsWe used a factorial design to sample across a gradient of habitat amount (area of vegetated vineyards, measured as percentage of landscape PLAND) and fragmentation (number of vegetated patches, measured as patch density PD). Using 10 different spatial scales, we identified the factors and scales that most strongly predicted invertebrate abundance and tested potential interactions between habitat amount and fragmentation.
ResultsHabitat amount (PLAND index) was most important in predicting invertebrate numbers at a field scale (50 m radius). In contrast, we found a negative effect of fragmentation (PD) at a broad scale of 450 m radius, but no interactive effect between the two.
ConclusionsThe spatial scales at which habitat amount and fragmentation affect invertebrates differ, underpinning the importance of spatially explicit study designs in disentangling the effects between habitat amount and configuration. We showed that the amount of vegetated vineyards has more influence on invertebrate abundance, but that fragmentation also contributed substantially. This suggests that efforts for augmenting the area of vegetated vineyards is more beneficial for invertebrate numbers than attempts to connect them.

ABSTRACT The amount of tomato yellow leaf curl geminivirus (TYLCV) DNA that accumulated in the vector Bemisia tabaci was studied by quantitative chemiluminescent dot-blot assay, using digoxigenin-labeled specific DNA probes. Large groups of female whiteflies were allowed to feed for 4, 12, 24, or 48 h on TYLCV-infected tomato plants and then were transferred to TYLCV-immune cucumber plants. Insects were sampled at different times during and after acquisition access and tested for TYLCV-DNA content. TYLCV-DNA assays were done either on whole insects oron the head plus prothorax (to include salivary glands) and abdomen separately. The maximum amount of TYLCV DNA, averaging from 0.5 to 1.6 ng per insect, was always attained at the end of the acquisition period. The mean amount then decreased by about 1 to 2% per day, remaining clearly detectable up to 20 days after the end of the acquisition period. Only some whiteflies that were TYLCV-positive in the abdomen were positive for head plus prothorax. In both parts of the body, TYLCV DNA remained detectable up to 18 days after the end of the acquisition period, showing that TYLCV DNA remains in insect tissues much longer than infectivity indicates. 相似文献

Background: the ketogenic diet (KD) has become a widely used nutritional approach for weight loss. Some of the KD’s positive effects on metabolism and cardiovascular risk factors are similar to those seen after n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3) supplementation. We hypothesized that a ketogenic Mediterranean diet with phytoextracts combined with ω-3 supplementation may have increased positive effects on cardiovascular risk factors and inflammation. Methods: We analyzed 34 male overweight subjects; aged between 25 and 65 years who were overall healthy apart from overweight. The subjects followed a ketogenic diet protocol for four weeks; with (KDO3) or without (KD) ω-3 supplementation. Results: All subjects experienced a significant loss of body weight and body fat and there was no significant differences between treatment (body weight: KD—4.7 kg, KDO3—4.03 kg, body fat KD—5.41 kg, KDO3—5.86 kg). There were also significant decreases in total cholesterol, LDL-c, and glucose levels. Triglycerides and insulin levels decreased more in KDO3 vs. KD subjects, with a significant difference. All the investigated inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α) decreased significantly in KDO3 subjects whilst only TNF-α showed a significant decrease in KD subjects over the 12 month study period. No significant changes were observed in anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10 and IL-1Ra), creatinine, urea and uric acid. Adiponectin increased significantly only in the KDO3 group. Conclusions: ω-3 supplementation improved the positive effects of a ketogenic Mediterranean diet with phytoextracts on some cardiovascular/metabolic risk factors and inflammatory state. 相似文献

This report describes a case of cutaneous pythiosis in a 6‐year‐old female mixed breed dog, from the central west region of São Paulo State, Brazil. The cytological and histopathological analyses showed an intense inflammatory infiltrate with presence of numerous hyphal elements, suggesting infection due to Pythium insidiosum. The diagnosis was confirmed by nested‐PCR, which was carried out with specific primers derived from the ribosomal DNA region. The pathogen occurs in Brazil and veterinarians should be aware of the importance of correctly diagnosing this disease and differentiating it from other fungal diseases. 相似文献
