Microconidia germination of the tomato pathogen Fusarium oxysporum in the presence of root exudates

Abstract

In this study we assessed microconidia germination of the tomato pathogens F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) and F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici (Forl) in the presence of root exudates. Tomato root exudates stimulated microconidia germination and the level of stimulation was affected by plant age. Treatment of root exudates with insoluble polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, which binds phenolic compounds, indicated that tomato root exudates contain phenolic compounds inhibitory to F. oxysporum microconidia germination. Our study indicates that tomato root exudates similarly stimulate microconidia germination of both Fol and Forl. However, individual F. oxysporum strains differ in the degree of germination response to the root exudates. Furthermore, root exudates from non-host plants also contain compounds that stimulate microconidia germination of Fol. In general, the effects of root exudates from non-host plants did not differ considerably from those of tomato. The ability of phenolic compounds to inhibit germination of Fol seems not to be plant-specific.     

土壤解磷微生物促进植物磷素吸收策略研究进展

随着全球磷肥需求增加和磷矿资源储量短缺矛盾逐渐加重,土壤解磷微生物在促进磷循环方面的重要性日益突显,因此有必要对其种类和促进植物磷素吸收策略进行全面梳理总结。荟萃分析了土壤解磷微生物种类并构建了系统进化树,重点论述了土壤解磷微生物促进植物磷素吸收主要策略。土壤解磷微生物主要通过矿化和溶解作用直接活化难溶性磷,但其也能与植物根系互作间接活化磷素。其间接途径主要包括解磷微生物与根系分泌物和丛枝菌根真菌互作,它们通过碳磷交换间接活化磷素;其次包括一些解磷微生物可以通过固氮作用使植物生长受到磷的限制,从而调节植物磷酸盐转运系统间接活化土壤磷;解磷微生物也能通过分泌植物激素和生物防治剂促进植物根系生长间接促进植物磷素吸收。解磷微生物还能通过磷素固定减少磷流失,也可以通过加速自身磷素周转促进植物磷素吸收。对完善和发展解磷微生物主导的土壤磷循环和植物磷素吸收利用理论体系具有重要意义。     

感染羽茅的香柱菌属内生真菌对丛枝菌根真菌孢子萌发的影响

内生真菌与丛枝菌根(AM)真菌是构成草原生态系统的重要组成部分.内生真菌会抑制其宿主植物的AM真菌侵染率.本研究以感染2种香柱菌属内生真菌[Epichloё gansuensis(Eg)和E. sibirica(Es)]的天然禾草羽茅为供试材料,进行体外纯培养的内生真菌培养滤液、感染内生真菌的羽茅叶片(包括鲜叶和枯叶)浸提液,以及根系分泌物对摩西球囊霉(Gm)和幼套球囊霉(Ge)2种AM真菌孢子萌发影响试验.结果表明: 香柱菌属内生真菌的培养滤液会显著抑制2种AM真菌孢子的萌发,而感染香柱菌属内生真菌的羽茅根系分泌物只对Ge孢子萌发有显著抑制作用,且上述抑制作用与内生真菌种类无关;鲜叶浸提液对Gm和Ge的孢子萌发率均无显著影响,而枯叶浸提液对Ge的孢子萌发有显著抑制作用.在自然生态系统中,香柱菌属内生真菌通常存在于宿主植物体内,可能通过影响宿主植物的根系分泌物来影响AM真菌孢子的萌发.     

Why does oriental arborvitae grow better when mixed with black locust: Insight on nutrient cycling?

To identify why tree growth differs by afforestation type is a matter of prime concern in forestry. A study was conducted to determine why oriental arborvitae (Platycladus orientalis) grows better in the presence of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) than in monoculture. Different types of stands (i.e., monocultures and mixture of black locust and oriental arborvitae, and native grassland as a control) were selected in the Loess Plateau, China. The height and diameter at breast height of each tree species were measured, and soil, shoot, and root samples were sampled. The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) attributes, shoot and root nutrient status, height and diameter of black locust were not influenced by the presence of oriental arborvitae. For oriental arborvitae, however, growing in mixture increased height and diameter and reduced shoot Mn, Ca, and Mg contents, AM fungal spore density, and colonization rate. Major changes in soil properties also occurred, primarily in soil water, NO₃‐N, and available K levels and in soil enzyme activity. The increase in soil water, N, and K availability in the presence of black locust stimulated oriental arborvitae growth, and black locust in the mixed stand seems to suppress the development of AM symbiosis in oriental arborvitae roots, especially the production of AM fungal spores and vesicles, through improving soil water and N levels, thus freeing up carbon to fuel plant growth. Overall, the presence of black locust favored oriental arborvitae growth directly by improving soil water and fertility and indirectly by repressing AM symbiosis in oriental arborvitae roots.

Effects of prometryn and acetochlor on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and symbiotic system

Prometryn and acetochlor are common herbicides widely used to control weeds in agricultural systems. The impacts of the two herbicides on spore germination, hyphal elongation, the biomass and malondialdehyde content of carrot hairy roots were investigated using a strict in vitro cultivation system associating the Ri T‐DNA‐transferred carrot hairy roots with Glomus etunicatum. Alternatively, root colonization, daughter spore production and the proportion of hyphae with succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities were also investigated. No significant impact on spore germination was noted in the presence of acetochlor at all three concentrations tested, while a significant decrease was observed with prometryn only at the highest concentration. Moreover, an inverse correlation was identified between herbicides concentrations and G. etunicatum root colonization and spore production as well as hyphal SDH and ALP activity, with a positive correlation identified among these four factors. Both herbicides exerted negative effects on the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus and symbiosis at increasing concentrations, with prometryn apparently more toxic than acetochlor. Furthermore, the AM symbiotic system was shown to improve biomass, reduce malondialdehyde accumulation and ease lipid peroxidation in carrot hairy roots and decrease damage in host plants, thus enhancing plant tolerance to adverse conditions.

Significance and Impact of the Study

In this study, the effect of prometryn and acetochlor on the physiology and metabolic activities of the AM fungus Glomus etunicatum were investigated. Our findings demonstrate for the first time, the impact of the two herbicides at three concentrations (0·1, 1 and 10 mg l^?1) on transformed carrot hairy roots/AM fungus association under strict in vitro culture conditions, which may guide the application of the two herbicides in modern agriculture.     

The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal protein glomalin is a putative homolog of heat shock protein 60

Work on glomalin-related soil protein produced by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (AMF) has been limited because of the unknown identity of the protein. A protein band cross-reactive with the glomalin-specific antibody MAb32B11 from the AM fungus Glomus intraradices was partially sequenced using tandem liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. A 17 amino acid sequence showing similarity to heat shock protein 60 (hsp 60) was obtained. Based on degenerate PCR, a full-length cDNA of 1773 bp length encoding the hsp 60 gene was isolated from a G. intraradices cDNA library. The ORF was predicted to encode a protein of 590 amino acids. The protein sequence had three N-terminal glycosylation sites and a string of GGM motifs at the C-terminal end. The GiHsp 60 ORF had three introns of 67, 76 and 131 bp length. The GiHsp 60 was expressed using an in vitro translation system, and the protein was purified using the 6xHis-tag system. A dot-blot assay on the purified protein showed that it was highly cross-reactive with the glomalin-specific antibody MAb32B11. The present work provides the first evidence for the identity of the glomalin protein in the model AMF G. intraradices, thus facilitating further characterization of this protein, which is of great interest in soil ecology.     

How does arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis regulate root hydraulic properties and plasma membrane aquaporins in Phaseolus vulgaris under drought, cold or salinity stresses?

Here, we evaluated how the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis regulates root hydraulic properties and root plasma membrane aquaporins (PIP) under different stresses sharing a common osmotic component. Phaseolus vulgaris plants were inoculated or not with the AM fungus Glomus intraradices, and subjected to drought, cold or salinity. Stress effects on root hydraulic conductance (L), PIP gene expression and protein abundance were evaluated. Under control conditions, L in AM plants was about half that in nonAM plants. However, L was decreased as a result of the three stresses in nonAM plants, while it was almost unchanged in AM plants. At the same time, PIP2 protein abundance and phosphorylation state presented the same trend as L. Finally, the expression of each PIP gene responded differently to each stress and was dependent on the AM fungal presence. Differential expression of the PIP genes studied under each stress depending on the AM fungal presence may indicate a specific function and regulation by the AM symbiosis of each gene under the specific conditions of each stress tested.     

Toxicity of diesel fuel to germination,growth and colonization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Glomus intraradices</Emphasis> in soil and <Emphasis Type="Italic">in vitro</Emphasis> transformed carrot root cultures

Phytoremediation is the use of selected plants to decontaminate polluted environments. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may potentially be useful for phytoremediation, but it is not known how petroleum hydrocarbons influence AMF spore germination and hyphal growth. To address this question, germination of spores and germ tube growth of Glomus intraradices Schenck and Smith and Glomus aggregatum Schenck and Smith were assessed in soil contaminated with up to 3% (w/v) of F2 diesel oil or HAGO reference oil. Hyphal growth, colonization and progeny spore production were assessed in vitro using transformed root cultures of Daucus carota and G. intraradices spores in a F2 diesel contaminated medium. In addition, extraradical hyphal growth of G. intraradices colonizing Daucus carota in the presence of F2 diesel was studied. Neither F2 diesel nor HAGO reference oil affected spore germination or germ tube growth in soil. However, in the presence of plant roots, germ tube growth of G. intraradices was reduced and delayed in the presence of F2 diesel and root colonization was not detected. Hyphal growth of pre-colonized carrot roots by G. intraradices was reduced and delayed in F2 contaminated medium compared to controls. F2 diesel did not inhibit spore germination of these AMF species but did reduce colonization, germ tube and hyphal growth. These results suggest that AMF inoculum can be established in petroleum-contaminated sites. However, it may prove beneficial to plant pre-colonized plants to increase the probability of sufficient AMF colonization and growth. The likely mechanism(s) of petroleum toxicity in this plant-microbe system was discussed.

Plant and fungal identity determines pathogen protection of plant roots by arbuscular mycorrhizas

1.  A major benefit of the mycorrhizal symbiosis is that it can protect plants from below-ground enemies, such as pathogens. Previous studies have indicated that plant identity (particularly plants that differ in root system architecture) or fungal identity (fungi from different families within the Glomeromycota) can determine the degree of protection from infection by pathogens. Here, we test the combined effects of plant and fungal identity to assess if there is a strong interaction between these two factors.
2.  We paired one of two plants ( Setaria glauca , a plant with a finely branched root system and Allium cepa , which has a simple root system) with one of six different fungal species from two families within the Glomeromycota. We assessed the degree to which plant identity, fungal identity and their interaction determined infection by Fusarium oxysporum , a common plant pathogen.
3.  Our results show that the interaction between plant and fungal identity can be an important determinant of root infection by the pathogen. Infection by Fusarium was less severe in Allium (simple root system) or when Setaria (complex root system) was associated with a fungus from the family Glomeraceae. We also detected significant plant growth responses to the treatments; the fine-rooted Setaria benefited more from associating with a member of the family Glomeraceae, while Allium benefited more from associating with a member of the family Gigasporaceae.
4.   Synthesis . This study supports previous claims that plants with complex root systems are more susceptible to infection by pathogens, and that the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis can reduce infection in such plants – provided that the plant is colonized by a mycorrhizal fungus that can offer protection, such as the isolates of Glomus used here.
