冬虫夏草不同发育时期蛋白质组iTRAQ质谱分析

本文选定冬虫夏草寄主昆虫幼虫（S1）、僵虫（S2）、子座初期（子座<1cm,S3）、子座早期（1cm<子座<3cm,S4）、成熟冬虫夏草（子座>7cm,S5）、商品冬虫夏草菌核（S6）、商品冬虫夏草子座（S7）及商品冬虫夏草（中期子座≈5cm,S8）8个样品,用定量蛋白质组学方法iTRAQ分析技术对冬虫夏草不同生长发育阶段的差异蛋白质组进行比较。共计获得9 924个不同肽段,鉴定到1 809个蛋白质,其中差异比值1.5倍以上,P<0.05蛋白个数506个,以商品冬虫夏草样本（S8）为参照,比较差异蛋白数量,寄主幼虫（S1）、僵虫（S2）、子座初期（S3）、子座早期（S4）、成熟冬虫夏草（S5）、商品冬虫夏草菌核（S6）及商品冬虫夏草子座（S7）阶段差异蛋白数分别为104、102、34、35、49、46和136个,说明昆虫幼虫、僵虫及子座与商品冬虫夏草样品差异显著。对鉴定蛋白质数据进行了主成分分析（principal component analysis,PCA）,在第三主成分（component 3）上的显著差异,表明成熟冬虫夏草（S5）的蛋白组成不同于商品虫草,说明成熟虫草品质下降。层次聚类（hierarchy clustering）分析结果表明所有样品分为两支,僵虫（S2）和商品冬虫夏草菌核（S6）与寄主幼虫（S1）聚在了一个分支上,而不同发育阶段样品（S3、S4和S5）与商品虫草子座（S7）聚在一个分支上,说明商品冬虫夏草菌核中还残留有寄主昆虫蛋白。冬虫夏草菌核部位的蛋白到子座部位的蛋白呈现由寄主幼虫蛋白向真菌蛋白发育过渡的聚类关系。子集嵌套关系同步子实体生长发育阶段蛋白组成变化随时间的程序性变化的规律。K-均值（K-means）聚类和Gene Ontology（GO）注释分析,提供了冬虫夏草成熟过程中能量代谢通路的变化趋势以及与真菌侵染昆虫和有性生殖相关蛋白质信息。研究结果为理解寄主昆虫对冬虫夏草功能的潜在贡献、子实体形成和发育的分子机制提供借鉴,并为蛋白质组作为冬虫夏草质量标准提供了科学参考。     

冬虫夏草菌在寄主钩蝠蛾幼虫中的潜伏侵染过程研究

冬虫夏草是青藏高原的特色名贵药材,是冬虫夏草菌Ophiocordyceps sinensis寄生于钩蝠蛾幼虫后形成的虫生子囊真菌,其发生机理和侵染途径至今未知。本文利用real-time q PCR实时定量技术检测了寄主蒲氏钩蝠蛾Thitarodes pui幼虫表皮、脂肪体、血淋巴和肠壁等组织中冬虫夏草菌定殖量,分别建立了起始于表皮的侵染路径(R20.678)和起始于肠道的侵染路径(R20.271)两种Holt数学模型,经比较分析后,推论冬虫夏草菌随口腔摄食侵染寄主幼虫的方式具有一定合理性和可行性,揭示冬虫夏草菌可以通过进食途径实现其对钩蝠蛾幼虫的带菌生长、侵染和寄生,从而为深入阐释冬虫夏草菌与寄主钩蝠蛾幼虫相互作用关系提供重要参考。     

绿僵菌侵染小菜蛾幼虫过程的透射电镜观察

利用透射电镜观察了绿僵菌Metarhizium anisopliae对小菜蛾Plutella xylostella幼虫的侵染过程。结果表明：接种后22 h最早观察到绿僵菌穿透到寄主表皮层中,在穿透表皮过程中伴随着机械力和酶的活动。菌体进入寄主血腔后,以菌丝出芽生殖、菌丝分隔及菌丝段分隔3种方式大量增殖,主要形成颗粒状的菌丝段在寄主体腔内扩散,也形成少量的丝状菌丝。     

蝙蝠蛾幼虫肠道中的冬虫夏草菌体研究

西藏林芝地区冬虫夏草天然产区野生虫草蝙蝠蛾幼虫的肠道液pH范围为9.69-10.99,体外在此pH下培养冬虫夏草菌长势较差。同时,在该pH的体外模拟中肠液中,虫菌体也会在极短的时间内消亡,而对自然侵染的蝙蝠蛾幼虫的血淋巴、消化道及其“反吐物”（肠液）进行切片和显微镜检却发现,蝙蝠蛾幼虫消化道、呕吐物中均存在与血淋巴中相同的冬虫夏草菌菌体形态,生存状态良好,正常增殖,表明蝙蝠蛾幼虫肠道的生理状态可以维系并支撑冬虫夏草菌菌体某种形态的存在与生长,并证实冬虫夏草菌由口器及消化道入侵蝙蝠蛾幼虫的可能性;肠道虫菌体与血淋巴虫菌体不一定同时存在,表明冬虫夏草菌对蝙蝠蛾幼虫的侵染可能同时存在表皮侵染和肠道侵染两种途径。本文为冬虫夏草菌对蝙蝠蛾幼虫的侵染途径研究提供更加多样化的信息支持。     

冬虫夏草菌丝状菌源增殖培养的研究

冬虫夏草菌是珍稀濒危名贵中药材冬虫夏草的无性型菌种,是侵染蝠蛾幼虫的唯一菌种,其侵染后形成名贵中药材冬虫夏草。冬虫夏草菌在不同营养及条件下生长形态不同,主要有丝状体和菌球体两种生长形态。冬虫夏草菌丝状菌体能够侵染蝠蛾幼虫,有可能作为一种新的接种体被广泛应用;但丝状菌体对营养要求苛刻、生长缓慢、菌丝体得率低的特点,阻碍了冬虫夏草菌丝状菌体作为侵染蝠蛾幼虫的接种体的开发及应用,从而阻碍了冬虫夏草人工培殖产业化的进程。为了提高冬虫夏草菌丝状菌体的生物表达量,本文对营养及培养条件进行了优化研究,得出了最佳条件为:葡萄糖质量浓度40 g/L、酵母粉质量浓度65 g/L、培养温度17℃、MgSO_4质量浓度3 g/L、KH_2PO_4质量浓度1.5 g/L、培养时间12 d,按最优培养条件,冬虫夏草菌丝状菌体干重得率15.67 g/L,为下一步新的接种体的制备提供菌源保障。     

冬虫夏草线状菌体制剂对蝠蛾幼虫感染的研究

为明确冬虫夏草线状菌体制剂的侵染力,进行了冬虫夏草线状菌体制剂对蝠蛾幼虫的感染试验。在相同条件下对蝠蛾幼虫进行人工接种,并对感染温度、菌剂用量和虫龄进行了优化。结果表明冬虫夏草线状菌体具有侵染蝠蛾幼虫的能力,优化后的感染条件为:菌体剂量为5 g(即5个标准剂量)、幼虫虫龄为3龄、培养温度为14℃。该结果为蝠蛾幼虫新型接种体的制备与开发提供了依据。     

玫烟色棒束孢侵染小菜蛾的透射电镜观察

利用透射电镜观察了玫烟色棒束孢Isaria fumosorosea(=Paecilomyces fumosoroseus)对小菜蛾Plutella xylostella(L.)的侵染过程及菌体在虫体内的增殖方式。以浓度为1×107孢子/mL的孢子悬浮液接种小菜蛾4龄幼虫,在透射电镜下对虫体各部位的观察结果表明:接种后1h玫烟色棒束孢菌株EBCL03011的分生孢子开始萌芽,至4h可观察到附着孢的形成和穿透,接种后24h已普遍侵入体腔。玫烟色棒束孢在寄主表皮和体腔内,以菌丝段出芽生殖、菌丝分隔及菌丝段分隔3种方式大量增殖,主要以颗粒状的菌丝段在寄主体腔内扩散,菌丝段在穿透表皮和体腔内增殖过程中伴随着机械压力和酶的活动。     

莱氏绿僵菌对斜纹夜蛾的致病力及生理效应

【目的】测定莱氏绿僵菌Metarhizium rileyi Nr5772菌株对斜纹夜蛾Spodoptera litura幼虫及蛹的致病能力,研究莱氏绿僵菌侵染后在寄主体内的发育及对寄主的生理效应,探讨莱氏绿僵菌的致病机制。【方法】采用浸渍法测定莱氏绿僵菌孢子对斜纹夜蛾3-6龄幼虫及蛹的致死中浓度(LC_(50))和致死中时(LT_(50))。采用微量注射法接种莱氏绿僵菌虫菌体,在不同时间后采集斜纹夜蛾幼虫血淋巴,在显微镜下检查虫菌体的数量、形态及寄主血细胞数量,并用酶标仪测定寄主血淋巴酚氧化酶(Phenoloxidase,PO)的活性。【结果】M.rileyi孢子对3龄斜纹夜蛾幼虫毒力最强,10 d后LC_(50)=3.12×10~6个孢子/mL,龄期越大,致病力越低;孢子浓度为5×10~9个/mL时,对3龄幼虫的致死速度最快,LT_(50)=4.55 d,致死速度随龄期的增大和浓度的降低逐渐减缓;M.rileyi孢子对蛹的致病力远低于对幼虫的致病力。注射接种虫菌体后,64 h内,虫菌体数量在寄主血腔中以幂函数的形式增长,寄主的血细胞数量没有明显的变化;在侵染初期(接种后44 h内),血淋巴PO活性正常;在侵染后期,虫菌体数量不再增加(55-64 h后),逐渐转化为菌丝体,并快速杀死寄主,PO活性受到抑制。【结论】莱氏绿僵菌Nr5772菌株对斜纹夜蛾幼虫有较强的致病力,应在害虫低龄期应用;莱氏绿僵菌在侵染初期对寄主血细胞和血淋巴PO无影响,后期则完全抑制PO活性。

冬虫夏草的研究简介

冬虫夏草,通称虫草。是我国名贵的真菌药物和高级补品。在我国明代以前,人们已知道应用虫草。从明代中叶开始,就受到东南亚人民的喜爱,在国际市场上享有很高的声誉。冬虫夏草是子囊菌寄生于虫草编幅娥等昆虫体内而形成的。冬天在感染的昆虫内形成菌核,外表仍保持原来虫形,到次年夏季温暖潮湿时适于菌体生长,从虫体头部长出一根棕色有柄的律状子座,长4～11cm,粗约3mm,形似一根野草,为此而得名“冬虫夏草”。由此可见,虫革既不是“冬为虫,夏为草”,也木是“既为虫,又是草”,而是一种虫和菌的结合体。由于冬虫夏草所处的生态环…     

Carbon sources,growth, sclerotium formation and carbohydrate composition of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Summary Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) D By. was grown in stationary liquid mineral-salts medium, pH 4.3, containing various carbon sources and the weight of mycelia and sclerotia was determined at regular intervals. When grown on various glucose concentrations (0–24 g of C/l), more sclerotia were produced at 8–12 g of C/l. Sclerotia were not usually formed in shake cultures. The ability of the fungus to use other carbon sources for growth and sclerotium formation was tested at 12 g of C/l in the stationary mineral-salts medium. The highest weights of mycelia and sclerotia occurred with raffinose, sucrose, maltose, lactose, d-mannose, d-glucose, d-fructose or l-arabinose. Good growth but decreased sclerotium production were found on cellobiose and d-xylose. Reduced or poor growth, a long lag period and few or no sclerotia occurred on trehalose, melibiose, l-sorbose, l-rhamnose, d-ribose, d-arabinose, l-xylose or 8 polyols. No growth was observed with erythritol or i-inositol. A combination of glucose plus trehalose or polyols resulted in increased growth and the formation of sclerotia. Organic acids supported little or no growth and no sclerotia were produced. Generally culture filtrates which supported growth and formation of sclerotia became acid (about pH 3.5). The pH of the culture filtrate usually increased slowly during the growth period when the fungus grew poorly and no sclerotia were formed. The alcoholsoluble sugars and polyols present in culture filtrates, mycelia and sclerotia were determined by paper and thin-layer chromatography. Regardless of the carbon source, mannitol was usually present in culture filtrates. The occurrence of other compounds in the filtrates depended on the carbon source. Trehalose, mannitol and usually small quantities of glucose or fructose were present in mycelia and sclerotia from all carbon sources. Galactitol or pentitols occurred in mycelia and sclerotia when the fungus grew on galactose and oligosaccharides containing galactose or the corresponding pentose, sugars. Acid hydrolyzates of the alcohol-insoluble fraction of mycelia or sclerotia contained glucose, smaller amounts of galactose and mannose and traces of ribose and rhamnose.     

桦褐孔菌三萜类物质的提取与含量测定

以桦褐孔菌发酵菌丝体为材料,通过对溶剂乙醇(95%)、甲醇、乙酸乙酯、丙酮、异丙醇、正己烷和氯仿的提取效果比较表明,提取三萜类化合物的最佳溶剂为异丙醇,提取时间为24h,每个样品所需溶剂量(6mL)和菌丝体样品量(100mg)较少,并可同时对大量样品进行有效提取。以白桦脂醇为标准品,对香草醛-冰醋酸-高氯酸分光光度法进行评价,证明该方法简单快速、准确度高、试验误差小、重复性好。利用此方法对桦褐孔菌的野生菌核和发酵菌丝体内三萜类化合物含量进行测定,结果表明野生菌核(59.86mg/g)和发酵菌丝体(94.92mg/g)中都含有很高的三萜类化合物,且发酵菌丝体中三萜类化合物含量高于野生菌核。因此在桦褐孔菌产品开发中,发酵菌丝体可代替野生菌核进行大工业化生产。     

Growth, sclerotia and aflatoxin production by Aspergillus parasiticus: influence of food preservatives

The influence of six food preservatives on control of aflatoxin production by Aspergillus parasiticus was tested in SMKY and defined media at three concentrations, viz., 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0%. Propionic acid completely inhibited the yield of mycelia and sclerotia, and aflatoxin production in culture medium, mycelia and sclerotia of A. parasiticus at all concentrations, whereas citric acid showed inhibition only at 0.5 and 1.0% concentrations. Sodium metabisulphite did not permit mycelial growth and aflatoxin biosynthesis in SMKY liquid medium but allowed production of sclerotia and aflatoxin on solid media, while the rest of the food preservatives had only marginal inhibitory effects.

Survival of Rhizoctonia solani AG‐1 IA,the Causal Agent of Rice Sheath Blight,under Different Environmental Conditions

The ability of Rhizoctonia solani AG‐1 IA, the causal agent of rice sheath blight, to survive in diseased rice straw and as sclerotia and mycelia was investigated. After storage for 10 months at 4°C, 25°C and non‐air‐conditioned natural room temperature (NRT, temperature range from 6°C to 35°C), sclerotia placed inside a desiccator, soaked in sterile water or immersed in wet paddy soil were viable. In contrast, only 15% of sclerotia in dry paddy soil survived. Survival of mycelia was severely affected by temperature and humidity. After 10 months in a desiccator at 4°C, 55% of mycelia samples could survive, whereas at 25°C and NRT, mycelial samples survived for only 7 and 5 months, respectively. However, mycelia stored in sterile water at constant temperatures (4°C or 25°C) survived for 10 months. A certain amount of UV radiation had no obvious effect on the survival of sclerotia or mycelia. The survival rate of the fungus in diseased rice straw stored for 16 months could reach 100% at 4°C, 50% at 25°C and 35% at NRT. The survival rates of the pathogen in diseased rice straw buried in dry, wet and flooded paddy soils after 10‐month storage at NRT were 75, 100 and 100%, respectively, indicating that soil humidity is a crucial factor for the survival of this fungus.     

Deficiency of the melanin biosynthesis genes SCD1 and THR1 affects sclerotial development and vegetative growth,but not pathogenicity,in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

The fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a necrotrophic plant pathogen causing significant damage on a broad range of crops. This fungus produces sclerotia that serve as the long‐term survival structures in the life cycle and the primary inoculum in the disease cycle. Melanin plays an important role in protecting mycelia and sclerotia from ultraviolet radiation and other adverse environmental conditions. In this study, two genes, SCD1 encoding a scytalone dehydratase and THR1 encoding a trihydroxynaphthalene reductase, were disrupted by target gene replacement, and their roles in mycelial growth, sclerotial development and fungal pathogenicity were investigated. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that the deduced amino acid sequences of SCD1 and THR1 were similar to the orthologues of Botrytis cinerea. Expression of SCD1 was at higher levels in sclerotia relative to mycelia. THR1 was expressed at similar levels in mycelia and sclerotia at early stages, but was up‐regulated in sclerotia at the maturation stage. Disruption of SCD1 or THR1 did not change the pathogenicity of the fungus, but resulted in slower radial growth, less biomass, wider angled hyphal branches, impaired sclerotial development and decreased resistance to ultraviolet light.     

Origin of Early Attacks of Sclerotinia Stem Rot on Winter Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus sub. sub. sp. oleifera var. biensis) in the UK

Studies in artificially infested field plots of winter oilseed rape showed that mycelia originating from both sclerotia and ascospores of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum can initiate early attacks of sclerotinia stem rot. Disease symptoms appeared in early November in plots previously infested with sclerotia in September. There was a 6–7 week period from artificially inoculating plants with ascospores in October to observing disease symtoms in December. The primary sites of infection for both typesof inocula were the laminae and petioles of senescent and frost-damaged leaves. Following primary infection, mycelia of the pathogen spread by plant to plant contact, causing secondary infections of neighbouring plants. Sclerotia developed on diseased plants and high numbers were returned to the soil. The importance of these findings to the epidemiology of the disease are discussed.     

Effect of Sclerotial Damage of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum on the Mycoparasitic Activity of Trichoderma hamatum

Damaged sclerotia of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum buried in soil infested with Trichoderma hamatum isolate TMCS - 3 were degraded rapidly when the medulla of sclerotia was com pletely exposed by the feeding activity of larvae of the fungus gnat Bradysia coprophila. These heavily damaged sclerotia also enhanced , in vitro, the growth of TMCS - 3 . Growth of TMCS - 3 in liquid culture was studied using different carbon sources as substrates , including sclerotia of S. sclerotiorum. Significantly more biomass of TMCS - 3 was recovered using sclerotia as a substrate compared to other carbon sources tested . Exudates from sclerotia whose melanized rinds had been completely removed by feeding larvae accelerated the germination of conidia of TMCS - 3 . Concentrations of amino acids , carbohydrates and proteins in the sclerotial exudates were not increased as damage to sclerotia was increased . Exudation of electrolytes was higher in undamaged than damaged sclerotia . Glucanase activity of TMCS - 3 was slightly increased when the fungus was exposed to damaged sclerotia . However , chitinase activity was not increased by damaging the sclerotia . Larval damage altered the sclerotia not only physically but also chemically , thereby enhancing the activity of the fungus T. hamatum.     

Host growth form underlies enemy-free space for lichen-feeding moth larvae

1.?Natural enemies may direct the host use of herbivorous insects on those hosts that ensure highest survival, thus creating enemy-free space. Host structure may contribute to enemy-free space if the current host ensures better refuge from natural enemies than other potential hosts. So far, however, direct evidence of the role of host structure for enemy-free space is lacking. 2.?This study looks at the effect of physical host structure on the previously demonstrated enemy-free space of a lichen-feeding moth, Cleorodes lichenaria by manipulating the structure of host lichens and the access of natural enemies to larvae in the field. It was predicted that if larvae receive enemy-free space on Ramalina lichens because of their shrubby appearance, larvae should survive better on shrubby than on flat lichens in the presence of natural enemies but not in the absence of natural enemies. 3.?Larvae survived better on shrubby than flat lichens and when the access of natural enemies to larvae was prevented than in the presence of them. According to the prediction, larvae in the presence of natural enemies survived better on shrubby compared with flat thalli but not in the absence of natural enemies. Thus, shrubby host structure promotes survival of larvae and underlies the enemy-free space on Ramalina species in natural conditions. 4.?Host structure as a mechanism for enemy-free space and the direct impact of host structure for the performance of C.?lichenaria larvae are discussed. Other potential reasons, such as lichen secondary chemicals and host-induced colouration of larvae as a basis of enemy-free space, are also discussed.
