基于MTT染色法对葡萄生单轴霉孢子囊存活力的检测

本文利用MTT染色法和点接生物测定法对不同温度干燥处理36h后的葡萄生单轴霉孢子囊存活力和致病力进行了检测,并应用单因素试验和正交试验对其孢子囊进行了MTT染色条件的优化。结果表明：葡萄生单轴霉孢子囊MTT染色的最佳条件为温度36℃、MTT浓度 0.05%、染色48h,孢子囊染色率可达83.0%。20℃恒温干燥处理36h显著提高了孢子囊存活力,葡萄生单轴霉孢子囊的蓝色染色率为79.3%,叶片点接发病率为98.9%,显著高于对照的蓝色染色率52.0%和发病率62.7%。MTT染色得到的孢子囊蓝色染色率与点接生物测定法得出的发病率存在很好的线性关系y=1.276 1x-1.939 1,R²=0.996 1,孢子囊的蓝色染色率与叶片点接发病率呈正相关。本研究表明MTT染色法可以用于葡萄生单轴霉孢子囊存活力的快速和准确检测。     

黄瓜霜霉病菌侵染若干因子的研究

研究了温、湿度条件对黄瓜霜霉病菌致病性的影响,结果表明,25～35℃最适宜黄瓜霜霉病的发生,15/35℃的交替温度变化最有利于霜霉病菌的侵染,但35℃以上的高温对霜霉病菌具有杀伤作用;2 h的湿度条件就足以引起侵染,一旦侵入寄主,环境湿度条件对病害的发展影响不大.-20℃低温冷冻保存10个月和干燥放置7 d的霜霉菌种仍具致病力.发病的黄瓜叶片可以连续产生孢子囊,但随着发病时间的延长产生孢子囊量逐渐减少.活体叶片单位面积上产生的孢子囊量比离体叶片大,且显症天数与叶片单位面积产生孢囊量呈抛物线型关系.     

葡萄生轴霜霉菌孢子囊的长期保存

为了解决葡萄生轴霜霉菌的活体保存问题,本文开展了多种保藏方法的研究。采用二甲基亚砜和甘油分别于不同低温条件下对孢子囊进行了保存,取出后进行接种试验。结果表明,孢子囊用不同保护剂处理后保存于-76℃中5d,10%二甲基亚砜处理的孢子囊经接种后发病面积百分率为68.3%,其致病性明显强于25%甘油处理;孢子囊用不同浓度的二甲基亚砜保存于-76℃中30d,5%和10%二甲基亚砜处理后致病性差异不显著,但明显高于15%、20%、25%二甲基亚砜处理的孢子囊;5%和10%二甲基亚砜处理的孢子囊,在-76℃中保存5d和15d后,致病性明显高于-20℃的处理;孢子囊经-76℃保存240d后,10%二甲基亚砜处理的孢子囊无致病性,而5%二甲基亚砜处理的发病面积百分率为56.3%,与对照无显著差异,说明孢子囊用含5%的二甲基亚砜处理能在-76℃中长期保存。     

定期转种法和低温冷冻法保藏致病真菌活性的能力比较

定期转种法和低温冷冻保存法是临床实验室最常用的两种真菌保存方法,为比较两种方法保藏致病真菌活性的能力,本研究使用两种保藏方法对实验室689株致病真菌保藏5年后进行检测。定期转种法是将菌落接种于马铃薯斜面培养基并将其储存在4℃冰箱,每6个月转种1次。低温冷冻法是挑取马铃薯斜面培养基上生长良好的菌落于无菌10%甘油中,放置在-80℃储存。保藏5年后,将两种方法保藏的菌株转种复苏,比较菌株的复活率。对于念珠菌属Candida、新生隐球菌Cryptococcus neoformans、毛癣菌属Trichophyton、曲霉属Aspergillus和孢子丝菌属Sporothirix真菌,两种方法的菌株复活率无统计学差异;对于小孢子菌属Microsporum真菌和马尔尼菲蓝状菌Talaromyces marneffei,使用低温冷冻法保藏的菌株复活率高于定期转种法保藏的菌株复活率;对于着色霉属Fonsecaea真菌,低温冷冻法保藏的菌株复活率低于定期转种法保藏的菌株复活率。因此,我们认为对于常见致病真菌的长期保藏,使用10%甘油作为保护剂的低温冷冻法优于定期转种法,但其不适用于着色霉属Fonsecaea真菌的长期保藏。     

掘氏疫霉遗传学研究 Ⅰ.自交后代(S_1)生物学性状的遗传与变异

测定了掘氏疫霉Phytophthora drechsleri Tucker生长速率、菌落形态、菌体形态、产孢能力、耐35℃高温生长、致病力等生物学性状在自交S_1代的遗传与变异。2个掘氏疫霉野生型菌株(A_1、A_2各1株)经聚碳膜间隔配对诱导自交产生的卵孢子(保存110天左右)在S+L培养基上萌发,分别获得30和35个单卵孢株(萌发率10%左右)。测定结果表明,上述生物学性状在2个亲本自交后代均发生变异,部分单卵孢株生长速度减慢、菌落形态明显改变、孢子囊和菌丝畸形、产孢能力增强、在35℃中弱生长或不生长,或致病力减弱直至无致病力。在亲本的单游动孢子无性系后代未观察到上述变异,说明上述生物学性状变异主要因亲本遗传因子的杂合性所致。从遗传学角度探讨了在自然条件下掘氏疫霉生物学性状的变异性以及某些分类依据不稳定的原因,指出有性生殖过程中的基因重组可能是引起掘氏疫霉生物学性状变异的主要原因之一。     

L-干燥法和冷冻真空干燥法保藏放线菌效果的比较

L-干燥法和冷冻真空干燥法保藏不同放线菌效果是不一致的。在低温5℃多数放线菌用L-干燥法保藏,无论是干燥后及保存11个月以后其成活率均比冷冻真空干燥法高,但L-干燥法对温度较敏感,在温度37℃保藏成活率有下降的趋势。而冷冻真空干燥法在短期内保藏受温度影响较小。两种方法使用三种保护剂:10%脱脂牛奶粉,3%谷氨酸钠,1%蛋白胨+10%蔗糖,其中以10%脱脂牛奶粉为最理想。因此,采用L-干燥法以10%脱脂牛奶粉为保护剂,在低温5℃长期保存放线菌是较理想的方法之一。两种方法三种保护剂保存11个月后对葡萄糖异构酶

疫霉属菌种的液氮超低温保藏

对疫霉属的15个种68株菌和霜疫霉2株菌进行了液氮超低温的保藏试验并得到成功。比较了冷冻速度、保护剂和解冻速度对菌存活的影响。严格控制每分钟降温摄氏1度直到-40℃后再放入液氮罐中,对疫霉和霜疫霉来说都是非常必要的。这种降温程序可通过简单设备人工操作达到。而直接由室温降到-150℃以下会损伤菌种以致死亡。在所用的保护剂中,不论10％甘油还是5-15％二甲基亚砜都能起到保护作用。尚看不出对那种保护剂有特别的要求,似可任意选用。至于解冻条件,由液氮中取出放置在38℃水浴中快速融化与在20℃水浴中中等速度融化效果相等,对菌的成活都没有太大影响。我们的试验肯定了在有保护剂存在下,用慢速冷冻可以在液氮中保存疫霉和霜疫霉。

Growth Analysis of Soybean Seedlings During the Lifespan of the Cotyledons

Patterns of seedling growth of Glycine max in light and darknesswere compared during the period from germination to cotyledonabscission. Fitted growth curves and the derived functions,relative growth rate, unit leaf rate, leaf area ratio and specificleaf area, were used to assess the relative importance in seedlinggrowth of cotyledon storage reserves, cotyledon photosynthesisand leaf photosynthesis. The cotyledons are of an intermediatetype with a predominant storage and a minimal photosyntheticfunction. Cotyledon reserves support seedling growth until theprimary leaves expand, after which growth depends on leaf photosynthesis. Glycine max (L.)

DNA CONTENT AND HETEROCHROMATIN VARIATIONS IN VARIOUS TISSUES OF PEANUT (ARACHIS HYPOGAEA)

The average 2C DNA amount for the peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genome is 4.21 pg, and 73% of the dormant peanut cotyledon nuclei displayed 8C DNA amounts or higher, as compared to 0 to 4% in root-shoot apices and leaf tissue. Thermal melt profiles and heterochromatin values indicated replication of the whole genome. Cotyledon nuclear DNA declined in the percent of polyploid nuclei as well as DNA amounts within ploidy classes during germination. The presence of high DNA C levels in cotyledons generated during embryogeny is interpreted to increase the protein-synthesizing capacity and subsequently supplies a ready source of nucleosides and phosphates during early embryo growth as a result of DNA degradation. However, the later DNA decline at the onset of cotyledon senescence was age related similarly to leaf senescence. The change in proportion of heterochromatin was related to the metabolic state of the tissue and not to the DNA content, as dormant and senescing nuclei contained a higher proportion of heterochromatin as compared to nuclei from metabolically active tissue such as germinating roots. The shift in heterochromatin is interpreted to be involved in gene expression.

Ecosystem screening approach for pathogen-associated microorganisms affecting host disease

The microbial community in which a pathogen evolves is fundamental to disease outcome. Species interacting with a pathogen on the host surface shape the distribution, density, and genetic diversity of the inoculum, but the role of these species is rarely determined. The screening method developed here can be used to characterize pathogen-associated species affecting disease. This strategy involves three steps: (i) constitution of the microbial community, using the pathogen as a trap; (ii) community selection, using extracts from the pathogen as the sole nutrient source; and (iii) molecular identification and the screening of isolates focusing on their effects on the growth of the pathogen in vitro and host disease. This approach was applied to a soilborne plant pathogen, Phytophthora parasitica, structured in a biofilm, for screening the microbial community from the rhizosphere of Nicotiana tabacum (the host). Two of the characterized eukaryotes interfered with the oomycete cycle and may affect the host disease. A Vorticella species acted through a mutualistic interaction with P. parasitica, disseminating pathogenic material by leaving the biofilm. A Phoma species established an amensal interaction with P. parasitica, strongly suppressing disease by inhibiting P. parasitica germination. This screening method is appropriate for all nonobligate pathogens. It allows the definition of microbial species as promoters or suppressors of a disease for a given biotope. It should also help to identify important microbial relationships for ecology and evolution of pathogens.     

Drying of Epicoccum nigrum conidia for obtaining a shelf-stable biological product against brown rot disease

AIMS: The effects of freeze-drying, spray-drying and fluidized bed-drying on survival of Epicoccum nigrum conidia were compared. METHODS AND RESULTS: Viability of E. nigrum conidia (estimated by measuring its germination) was 100% after fluidized bed-drying and freeze-drying, but it was determined that skimmed milk must be added in the case of freeze-drying conidia. Addition of other protectants (Tween-20, peptone, sucrose, glucose, starch and peptone + starch) to skimmed milk before freeze-drying did not improve the conidial viability which was obtained with skimmed milk alone. Glycerol had a negative effect on the lyophilization of E. nigrum conidia. Epicoccum nigrum conidia freeze-dried with skimmed milk, or fluidized bed-dried alone maintained an initial viability for 30 and 90 days, respectively, for storage at room temperature. Epicoccum nigrum conidial viability after spray-drying was lower than 10%. CONCLUSIONS: The best method to dry E. nigrum conidia was fluidized bed-drying. Conidia without protectants dried by this method had 100% viability and survived for 90 days at room temperature. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF STUDY: This paper deals with methods for the potential formulation of a biocontrol agent which is being tested for eventual commercialization.     

Cotyledon anatomy in the Leguminosae

Cotyledon anatomy has been investigated in approximately 900 species representing all the major tribes of the Leguminosae. Four main cotyledon forms are recognized on the basis of morphological, anatomical and functional criteria. The two modal forms are a leaf-like photosynthetic cotyledon, usually borne in an endospermic seed and occurring in about 60% of species; and a fleshy, storage cotyledon, borne in a non-endospermic seed and occurring in about 30% of species. Two intermediate forms combine the structural and functional characteristics of the modal forms in varying degree. The leaf-like cotyledon is considered to be the basic form from which the others have been derived. Cotyledon anatomy shows correlations with seed size and with taxonomic grouping at the tribal and generic levels and thus provides a set of minor characters of potential taxonomic or phylogenetic value or for use in seed and seedling classification and identification.     

Distribution and changes of reserve materials in cotyledon cells of Panax ginseng related to direct somatic embryogenesis and germination

Cotyledon explants from zygotic embryos of Panax ginseng produced somatic embryos on Murashige and Skoog basal medium without growth regulators. Somatic embryos developed directly from epidermal cells at the cotyledon base. Somatic embryos were always formed from the side of the cotyledon opposite to the one attached to the medium surface regardless of cotyledon orientation. The frequency of somatic embryo formation from the abaxial epidermis (66%) was much higher than that from the adaxial epidermis (12%). Differences in embryogenic response were likely related to cell structure. Abaxial epidermal cells were filled with reserve materials (lipid bodies), while adaxial epidermal cells were devoid of any prominent reserves. During germination, the reserve materials in the cells of the cotyledons disappeared rapidly. At the same time, the competency of somatic embryo formation from cotyledon explants declined rapidly to zero. Upon culture of the cotyledon explants (for somatic embryo induction), lipid bodies slowly disappeared, but starch grains accumulated prominently. Reserve materials disappeared after commencement of embryogenic cell division. During germination, lipid bodies rapidly disappeared, and chloroplasts developed instead of starch grains.

Codling moth granulosis virus: effects of its use on some other orchard arthropods

In four field trials from 1978 to 1980, sprays of codling moth granulosis virus (CpGV) plus 1·0% skimmed milk powder did not significantly affect damage to fruit by leaf rollers (tortrix moths). In laboratory tests, survival of larvae of the leaf roller Archips podana fed on leaves sprayed with CpGV plus milk was unaffected and they grew faster than on unsprayed leaves, because of the milk deposits. This might increase damage by A. podana if CpGV plus milk were applied during the feeding period of this species. In one field trial an unusual infestation of fruit by larvae of pith moth Blastodacna atra was not affected by CpGV. Azinphos-methyl significantly reduced damage by B. atru and, in one field trial where sprays were correctly timed, that by leaf rollers. CpGV had no consistently significant effects on numbers of fruit tree red spider mite Panonychus ulmi or its predators, whereas azinphos-methyl induced outbreaks of P. ulmi by killing its predators.
