构树Broussonetia papyrifera为桑科重要的资源植物。为调查逆境构树内生真菌的多样性,我们对铅锌矿区构树根、茎、叶和果实各部位进行内生真菌分离鉴定,从中分离得到187株内生真菌,根据形态学与分子生物学方法鉴定为20属,其中链格孢属Alternaria（50.27%）、镰孢属Fusarium（11.76%）为优势属。不同培养基的内生真菌分离率结果表明,马铃薯葡萄糖琼脂培养基（PDA）分离出的菌株数最多,占总数的73.96%;构树不同部位的菌株分离数目显示,叶中分离出的菌株较多,占38.02%。在属的分类水平上,根、茎、叶、果实不同部位的真菌数量也存在明显差异。Shannon-Wiener多样性指数和Simpson多样性指数分析结果提示不同样地的构树内生真菌的多样性也存在差异。Chao1指数和ACE指数也提示构树内生真菌丰富度与样地和组织有关。     

高山嵩草种群在放牧干扰下遗传多样性的变化

利用SRAP (Sequence-related amplified polymorphism)分子标记, 对放牧干扰下的高山嵩草(Kobresia pygmaea)种群进行了遗传多样性研究, 获得了下述结果: 1) 20对SRAP引物组合共检测出448条清晰条带, 其中376条条带具有多态性, 多态位点百分率为83.93%, 随着放牧强度的增加, 高山嵩草种群多态位点百分数、Nei’s遗传多样性指数、Shannon信息指数均下降。2)高山嵩草种群具有较高的遗传多样性和较低的遗传分化(总的遗传多样性H_t为0.276 6, 种群内遗传多样性H_s为0.243 6, 遗传分化系数G_st为0.119 4, 基于G_st估计的基因流N_m^*为1.843 4), 但随着放牧强度的增加, G_st增加, N_m^*降低, 说明放牧限制了种群间的基因交流, 使种群发生遗传分化。3)不同放牧梯度的高山嵩草种群间的遗传距离很小, 但是随着放牧强度的增加, 种群间的遗传距离逐渐增加, 遗传一致度降低。根据遗传距离所构建的UPGMA聚类图中高山嵩草4个种群随着牧压的增加, 逐级聚在一起。

Taxonomy, diversity and origins of symbiotic endophytes of Achnatherum sibiricum in the Inner Mongolia Steppe of China

We sampled five Achnatherum sibiricum populations and documented the distribution and abundance of endophytes. In total, 438 fungal isolates were obtained. They were classified into 11 morphotypes based on growth rate and morphological characters including colonial morphology, the production of conidiogenous cells, conidial size and dimension on potato dextrose agar medium. Both tub2 and actG sequences identified only a single product in all representative isolates from three dominant morphotypes. All sequences fell in the same main clade, including Neotyphodium gansuense and Neotyphodium gansuense var. inebrians from another Achnatherum species in North China, Achnatherum inebrians , and Neotyphodium guerinii from European grasses Melica ciliate and Melica transsilvanica . Based on both morphological and phylogenetic analyses, isolates in morphotype I were described as representing a novel Neotyphodium species, Neotyphodium sibiricum sp. nov. Isolates in both morphotype II and III were identified as representing N. gansuense . Both tub2 and actG sequences suggested that N. sibiricum and N. guerinii were probably derived from a common Epichloë ancestor.     

禾草内生真菌的遗传多样性及其共生关系

 近百年的禾草内生真菌研究历经了由浅入深的过程,从最初的家畜中毒事件认识到是一种共生内生真菌存在的缘故,到如今利用分子生物学技术揭示其共生机制,人类发现这类植物内生真菌并非想象中的对生态系统无足轻重。Epichloë及其无性型Neotyphodium与禾本科植物是系统发生的互利共生关系,尤其是Neotyphodium可提高宿主抵抗环境胁迫的能力和抵御动物的取食,增强植物的竞争力。禾草内生真菌有3种生活史：有性生活史、无性生活史和兼性生活史,后者表明真菌在不同的宿主及环境下既能营有性生殖也可营无性繁殖,是一种更灵活而有效的生活史对策。对内生真菌分子系统学、生活史以及与宿主禾草协同进化的研究发现,Neotyphodium起源于禾草致病真菌Epichloë的某些种,或是Epichloë与Neotyphodium的种间杂交后代。植物和内生真菌各异的生活史策略,真菌的种间杂交,两者的协同进化亦或种群间基因流的差异,都促成了共生体多样化的基因组合（Genetic combination ）,也是其共生关系多样化的根源。内生真菌对宿主的有益作用只在特定基因型真菌、宿主和一定环境条件下才起作用,自然生态系统的共生关系要比农业系统复杂得多,是一个从互利共生至寄生关系的连续系统。未来对于更多共生体的遗传背景和基因与环境相互作用的阐明将有助于对禾草内生真菌共生关系本质更加深入的认识。     

Geographic distribution patterns of vertically transmitted endophytes in two native grasses in Argentina

The incidence of epichloid endophytes in populations of wild grasses is usually variable, and the knowledge about distribution patterns and how environmental factors affect such an incidence is limited. Here we performed a broad scale survey data to study whether the distribution patterns and the incidence of vertically-transmitted endophytes in populations of two native grasses from South-America, Poa lanuginosa Poir. and Poa bonariensis (Lam.) Kunth., are associated with environmental characteristics. We also characterized the endophytes from different populations to establish if the genotype of the endophytes is also correlated with environmental variables. The incidence of endophytes ranged from 0 to 100 % in both host species. In P. lanuginosa, endophytes were only found in populations on sandy coastal dunes and their incidence was positively associated with winter regime rainfall and soil water availability in the growing season. In P. bonariensis, endophytes were only found in populations in xerophytic forests and their incidence was highly associated with plant community. The distributions of infested populations suggested that the endophytes are not found in those areas with the most favorable or most stressing growth conditions accordingly to climatic or edaphical characteristics. Only the vertically transmitted hybrid endophyte species Neotyphodium tembladerae was detected in both host species. Under the hypothesis of vertical transmission, these results suggested that the endophyte should have been lost in endophyte free populations but is maintained in populations established in environments presenting moderate stress as salinity or short drought periods.

The effects of Epichloë endophytes on the growth and competitiveness of Achnatherum sibiricum are mediated by soil microbe diversity

季节性干旱驱动亚热带森林的碳积累 本研究旨在表明处于南亚热带的鼎湖山生物圈保护区的干旱频率和强度正在增加,并说明季节性干旱对亚热带森林碳积累的影响。这是为了应对全球气候变化导致的干旱加剧所带来的威胁开展的一项研究。我们使干旱指数(标准化降水指数、标准降水蒸散发指数、降水距平百分率及自校准帕尔默干旱指数)准确确定干旱期和降水量增加期。此后,将2003至2014年(12年)监测采集的实测涡动通量和土壤含水量数据在干旱期和湿润期之间进行比较,以确定干旱对生态系统碳积累的影响。在本研究所选择的12年期间,干旱的发生时间约占比20%,最强干旱事件和严重程度发生于2012至2013年。研究期间的年平均降水量和气温分别为1404.57 ± 43.2 mm和22.65 ± 0.1 °C,与30年记录(1990–2020)相比较,年降水量减少量可达523 mm,而气温则增加了2.55 °C。与全球针对大多数森林生态系统研究所发表的数据呈相反趋势,处于中国南亚热带区域的鼎湖山生物圈保护区在60%的干旱期内所监测的森林生态系统记录到显著的碳积累趋势,说明季节性干旱驱动了森林的碳积累。     

Widespread occurrence of Neotyphodium-like endophyte in populations of Bromus tomentellus Boiss. in Iran

Neotyphodium species occur as endophytic fungi in cool-season grasses around the world. The beneficial aspects of grass-Neotyphodium associations have provoked researchers to look for a novel association in plant species where this symbiotum has not been reported. We surveyed Russian bromegrass (Bromus tomentellus Boiss.) accessions from a germplasm collection for the presence of Neotyphodium spp. fungi and determined levels of endophyte infection in B. tomentellus populations in native rangelands of Iran. Among 50 collected accessions, symbiotic fungi were detected in 45 accessions without any symptoms of choke disease on host plants. In culture medium, fast-growing endophytes appeared from seeds after 7-14 days. Plants grown from seed collections were 80-100% infected. Based on morphological characteristics and PCR analysis, we concluded that this fungus is a member of the Neotyphodium group of endophytic fungi. Lack of apparent toxicity to grazing animals suggests a place for endophyte-infected B. tomentellus in rangeland renovation, providing this infected grass exhibits increased tolerance to abiotic stresses.     

内生真菌对草坪植物病原真菌抑制作用的比较

分别从野生牧草羽茅(Achnatherum sibiricum (L.) Keng)、栽培种高羊茅(Festuca arundinacea Schreb.)(品种Millennium)、栽培种黑麦草(Lolium perenne L.) (品种Justus)中分离出内生真菌Neotyphodium sp.、N. coenophialum和N. lolli,通过体外培养法比较了这3种内生真菌对草坪植物病原真菌的抑制作用.结果表明,从羽茅中分离的内生真菌Neotyphodium sp.在两菌相交前对所有供试的病原真菌都有一定的抑制作用,其中对枝孢霉属(Cladosporium sp.)、弯孢霉属(Curvularia sp.)和拟茎点属(Phomopsis sp.)病原真菌的抑制效果尤为显著,对峙培养3d后的抑菌率分别达70.1%、52.3%和30.9%,营养竞争作用、重寄生作用是其主要的拮抗机制;从高羊茅中分离的内生真菌N. coenophialum对枝孢霉属病原真菌存在一定的抑制作用;而从黑麦草中分离的内生真菌N. lolli与病原真菌对峙培养时,病原真菌菌落慢慢侵占整个营养空间,内生真菌停止生长并逐渐褐变死亡.体外培养结果说明Neotyphodium sp.对供试病原真菌的拮抗效果优于N. coenophialum和N. lolli,由此推测Neotyphodium sp.与宿主植物羽茅的共生可能有利于宿主植物抵抗病原真菌的侵扰.     

A fungal endophyte reinforces population adaptive differentiation in its host grass species

Hereditary symbioses between fungal endophytes and grasses are relatively recent in the history of plant life. Given < 80 million yr of co-evolution, symbioses are likely to have impacted plant microevolutionary rather than macroevolutionary processes. Therefore, we investigated the microevolutionary role of the fungal endophyte Neotyphodium lolii in the adaptive differentiation of its host species Lolium perenne. Endophyte frequency in 22 natural L. perenne populations was established across a water availability gradient. Adaptive differentiation among five populations, and between symbiotic (S) and nonsymbiotic (NS) plants, was examined in a glasshouse experiment under nonlimiting and limiting water conditions. Genetic differentiation was subsequently assessed among populations, and between S and NS individuals, using 14 simple sequence repeats (SSR). Symbiosis frequencies were positively correlated to water availability. Adaptive population differentiation occurred following a trade-off between biomass production under nonlimiting water conditions and survivorship under water stress. Endophytic symbiosis increased plant survival in xeric populations, and reinforced competitiveness in mesic populations. No genetic difference was detected between S and NS plants within populations. Therefore, we conclude that the endophyte relationship is responsible for these effects. Local adaptation of the host plant, appears to be supported by the fungal endophyte.     

Origin, divergence, and phylogeny of epichloe endophytes of native Argentine grasses

The epichlo? endophytes are systemic, constitutive, and often vertically transmitted fungal symbionts of grass species in subfamily Po?ideae. Prior studies indicate that several asexual epichlo? endophytes (Neotyphodium species) have evolved directly from sexual (Epichlo?) species, whereas others evolved by hybridization between two or more endophyte species. In this paper, we investigate the phylogenies of 27 Neotyphodium spp. isolates from 10 native grass species (in 4 tribes) in 22 populations throughout Argentina. Relationships among these fungi and a worldwide collection of epichlo? endophytes were estimated by phylogenetic analysis of sequences from variable portions (mainly introns) of genes for beta-tubulin (tub2) and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1). Most of the Argentine endophyte isolates were interspecific hybrids of Epichlo? festucae and E. typhina. Only one isolate was a hybrid of a different ancestry, and three isolates were apparently non-hybrid endophytes. These results indicate that interspecific hybridization, which promotes genetic variation, was common during the evolution of the endophytes of Argentine grasses.     

Development and characterization of EST-derived simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for pasture grass endophytes.

Fungal endophytes of the genus Neotyphodium are common in temperate pasture grass species and confer both beneficial and deleterious agronomic characteristics to their hosts. The aim of this study was to develop molecular markers based on simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci for the identification and assessment of genetic diversity among Neotyphodium endophytes in grasses. Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from both Neptyphodium coenophialum and Neotyphodium lolii were examined, and unique SSR loci were identified in 9.7% of the N. coenophialum sequences and 6.3% of the N. lolii sequences. A variety of SSRs were present, although perfect trinucleotide repeat arrays were the most common. Primers were designed to 50 SSR loci from N. coenophialum and 57 SSR loci from N. lolii and were evaluated using 20 Neotyphodium and Epichlo? isolates. A high proportion of the N. coenophialum and N. lolii primers produced amplification products from the majority of isolates and most of these primers detected genetic variation. SSR markers from both N. coenophialum and N. lolii detected high levels of polymorphism between Neotyphodium and Epichlo? species, and low levels of polymorphism within N. coenophialum and N. lolii. SSR markers may be used in appropriate combinations to discriminate between species. Comparison with amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) data demonstrated that the SSR markers were informative for the assessment of genetic variation within and between endophyte species. These markers may be used to identify endophyte taxa and to evaluate intraspecific population diversity, which may be correlated with variation for endophyte-derived agronomic traits.
