低温胁迫对南方根结线虫存活的影响及在北方温室的应用

本研究采用室内离体测定的方法研究了低温处理对南方根结线虫二龄幼虫(J2)致死率和卵囊孵化率的影响，在此基础上，通过田间试验评价了两种土壤低温处理方法对北方地区温室南方根结线虫存活率的影响。室内研究结果表明：-7℃处理24 h后，南方根结线虫J2存活率为0;-9℃处理24 h后，南方根结线虫卵囊完全不孵化。-1、-2、-3、-4℃分别处理8、5、3、1.5 d后J2存活率均为0;-2、-3、-4、-5℃分别处理9、6、4、1 d后卵囊完全不孵化。拟合分析发现，温度与J2致死时间及温度与卵囊不孵化时间均呈指数函数关系。田间试验结果表明：起垄后0～50 cm土层和平地0～30 cm土层南方根结线虫死亡率均可达100%,平地30～40及40～50 cm较温室同深度病情指数分别减少84.9%、75.8%。因此，在陕西省榆林市及其以北地区，冬季通过低温防控温室南方根结线虫能达到较好效果，技术可操作性强，具有较为广阔的推广前景。

采用室内测定与大田试验相结合的方法,研究了太阳能不同消毒方式对温室土壤环境的效应及对温室黄瓜根结线虫病的控制效果.结果表明,垄沟式覆盖地膜处理对温室土壤温度、土壤酶的活性、微生物数量的影响最明显,处理16d,棚室10、20、30、40、50cm深土壤的最高温度依次是59.1、57.7、56.6、48.9、47.6℃,平均每天超过55、50、45℃持续时间分别为7.5、8.5h和16h;土壤温度的升高,有利于提高对根结线虫的杀灭效果.0～20cm土壤脲酶、蔗糖酶、碱性磷酸酶、过氧化氢酶分别降低43.3%、18.7%、20.1%和13.1%;土壤真菌、细菌、放线菌数量分别降低96.0%、84.8%、53.9%.垄沟式未覆膜处理对土壤环境的影响次之,平面式未覆膜的影响最小,酶活性降低及土壤微生物数量下降对土壤的活性有一定的负效应.垄沟式覆膜太阳能消毒对温室黄瓜根结线虫控制效果最显著,持效期最长,能有效杀灭温室0～50cm土壤内根结线虫;处理后第1年和第2年对温室黄瓜根结线虫控制效果均达到100%,第3年防效96.7%,第5年仍达72.8%.垄沟式未覆膜控制效果次之;平面式未覆膜控制效果最差,持效期最短.     

丛枝菌根真菌对不同番茄品种抗根结线虫病的影响

【背景】根结线虫病害严重制约我国设施蔬菜的生产。丛枝菌根真菌(Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi,AMF)作为土壤中最重要的有益真菌之一,可以促进植物生长,提高植物抗病性,减轻土传真菌和线虫病害的发生。在蔬菜保护地栽培中,AMF对于植物线虫病防治作用的研究受到了广泛关注。【目的】针对番茄生产中危害最严重的南方根结线虫(Meliodogyne incognita)病害问题,研究AMF和番茄品种不同组合的抗线虫效应,以期为菌根真菌作为生物防治剂和生物菌肥应用于实际生产提供技术基础。【方法】在灭菌土壤中,人工接种根结线虫,比较不同菌种Rhizophagus intraradices(Ri)、Acaulosporamellea(Am)及菌种组合Rhizophagusintraradices+Acaulosporamellea(Ri+Am)在不同番茄品种(感病品种蒙特卡罗和抗线虫品种仙客1号)上对南方根结线虫侵染和繁殖的影响,研究AMF对根结线虫的拮抗效应。另外,采用南方根结线虫连作发病的土壤,在感病品种蒙特卡洛上接种AMF混合菌种Ri+Am,番茄苗移栽入连作土壤中,测定各生长指标和调查根结和卵块数量,评价接种AMF处理对根结线虫病的防治效果。【结果】在灭菌土壤中,普通番茄品种蒙特卡罗的菌根效应显著优于抗线虫番茄品种仙客1号,表现为前者单位根重的根结和卵块的数量均比对照显著降低,而后者仅降低了卵块数量;蒙特卡罗上接种Ri+Am混合菌种的效果优于接种单一菌种Am和Ri;而仙客1号上接种Ri的效果更好。接种线虫也显著影响了AMF的侵染,而且对抗性品种仙客1号的影响更为明显。但除了接种Am的处理,大多数处理收获时菌根侵染率仍维持较高的水平(70%以上)。在连作土壤中,感病品种蒙特卡罗接种混合菌种Ri+Am具有较好的抗/耐线虫效应,主要表现为促进植株生长,显著降低根结和卵块数量,但菌根侵染率较灭菌土壤低,约为40%。【结论】综合以上结果,表明菌根化苗能够在一定程度上减轻根结线虫病的危害。土壤灭菌条件下,在感病和抗线虫番茄品种上接种AMF能够减轻线虫的侵染和繁殖,而且在感病品种上的防治效果更加显著。在连作土壤中,在番茄感病品种上接种AMF也表现较好的抗线虫效果。     

不同AMF组合提高黄瓜抗根结线虫效果的比较

本研究旨在评价不同组合丛枝菌根真菌(arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi,AMF)抑制根结线虫和降低根结线虫病害的效应,以获得抗病作用较大的AMF组合。将由AMF光壁无梗囊霉Acaulospora laevis(Al)、摩西管柄囊霉Funneliformis mosseae(Fm)、幼套近明球囊霉Claroideoglomus etunicatum(Ce)、根内根孢囊霉Rhizophagus intraradices(Ri)、变形球囊霉Glomus versiforme(Gv)、珠状巨孢囊霉Gigaspora margarita(GIm)和全球盾巨孢囊霉Scutellospora aurigloba(SCa)组成的12个组合分别接种"津优35号"黄瓜,接种南方根结线虫Meloidogyne incognita并设置不接种对照。盆栽试验结果表明,接种AMF组合均能显著降低线虫卵囊数和每个卵囊的含卵数量,但Fm+Ri+GIm+SCa组合则增加根内二龄幼虫数、根内雌虫数和根内线虫总数;其他大多数组合能够抑制线虫的繁殖数量,其中,以Al+Fm+GIm及Fm+Ce+Gv组合抑制线虫生长发育的作用最大;除GIm+SCa组合外,其他AMF组合均能不同程度地降低线虫为害,防效达31%–83%,以Al+Fm+GIm组合处理的根结指数最低,防效最大。设施田间试验结果表明,以Al+Fm+GIm组合抗病作用最强。本研究表明,不同组合AMF防病效应差异显著,Al+Fm+Ce+Gv组合及Al+Fm+GIm是本试验条件下防治根结线虫病害效应最好的AMF组合,具有较大的应用潜力。     

多粘类芽胞杆菌KM2501-1杀南方根结线虫活性产物研究

【目的】南方根结线虫(Meloidogyne incognita)是一种危害严重的土传性植物病原线虫,给农业生产造成了巨大的经济损失,前期研究发现多粘类芽胞杆菌(Panebacillus polymyxa) KM2501-1具有很好的温室防治南方根结线虫效果,且可产生多种挥发性杀线虫活性物质,但对其非挥发性产物是否有杀线虫活性没有研究。本研究拟进一步分离鉴定其产生的杀线虫活性代谢产物,发掘新的杀线虫药物。【方法】对菌株KM2501-1进行液体发酵并离心收集发酵上清液,通过硅胶柱层析、高效液相色谱分离等方法得到高纯度的杀线虫活性物质,并通过液相色谱质谱联用分析、核磁共振等技术鉴定杀线虫活性物质的结构。【结果】生物活性检测显示,多粘类芽胞杆菌KM2501-1发酵上清液具有较强的南方根结线虫触杀活性,并能有效抑制南方根结线虫卵孵化,体外杀线虫效率高达87.66%,抑制卵孵化效率达92.26%。结构鉴定结果显示多粘类芽胞杆菌产生的杀线虫活性物质为环二肽类物质cyclo (Pro-Phe),800 mg/L的cyclo(Pro-Phe)杀线虫效率达84.75%。进一步的显微观测结果表明,与对照组相比,活性物质cyclo(Pro-Phe)处理后的根结线虫肠道组织紊乱、结构发生破坏。【结论】多粘类芽胞杆菌KM2501-1产生的cyclo (Pro-Phe)是一个具有杀线虫新功能的活性物质,其可能通过破坏线虫肠道杀死线虫。

Plant-Parasitic Nematodes of South Viet Nam

Between 1974 and 1978, 2,842 identifications of plant-parasitic nematodes were made from more than 1,700 soil and plant samples collected in eight provinces of South Viet Nam. Species in nine genera—Helicotylenchus, Criconemoides, Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus, Tylenchorhynchus, Hoplolaimus, Hirschmanniella, Xiphinema, and Rotylenchulus—comprised 96.1% of the identifications; the remaining 3.9% were species of 11 genera. Fourteen genera were associated with rice which was grown on about 2,500,000 ha in 1970. Of these, Ditylenchus, Hirschmanniella, and Meloidogyne were most important. Ditylenchus angustus caused severe damage to about 50,000 ha of flooded rice in the Mekong Delta in 1976. Hirschmanniella spp. were found in all samples examined from flooded rice fields. Meloidogyne spp. were common in rice seedbeds, upland rice, and rice not kept flooded continuously. Meloidogyne and Pratylenchus spp. were found in roots of 22 of the 32 crop plants sampled. Little or no attempt was made in South Viet Nam to control nematodes.

Parasites, emerging disease and wildlife conservation

In this review some emerging issues of parasite infections in wildlife, particularly in Australia, are considered. We discuss the importance of understanding parasite biodiversity in wildlife in terms of conservation, the role of wildlife as reservoirs of parasite infection, and the role of parasites within the broader context of the ecosystem. Using a number of parasite species, the value of undertaking longitudinal surveillance in natural systems using non-invasive sampling and molecular tools to characterise infectious agents is illustrated in terms of wildlife health, parasite biodiversity and ecology.     

Phylogenetic relationships among Southeast Asian climbing bamboos (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) and the Bambusa complex

A phylogenetic analysis of Bambusa and allies based on the plastid DNA non-coding regions rps16-trnQ, trnC-rpoB, trnH-psbA and trnD-T, and a partial nuclear GBSSI gene, was carried out. This included representatives from all four Bambusa subgenera (including type species), a group of segregate Southeast Asian genera distinctive by their climbing–scrambling culms (Dinochloa, Holttumochloa, Kinabaluchloa, Maclurochloa, Soejatmia, Sphaerobambos), and two other Bambusinae genera (Dendrocalamus, Gigantochloa). The results do not support the present subgeneric classification of Bambusa. The climbing Southeast Asian genera, all of which include species previously placed in Bambusa, are distinct from the “core Bambusa group” (type species and alliance) and the Bambusa complex generally.     

The identification of microRNAs in the whitespotted bamboo shark (Chiloscyllium plagiosum) liver by Illumina sequencing

MicroRNAs are indispensable players in the regulation of a broad range of biological processes. Here, we report the first deep sequencing of the whitespotted bamboo shark (Chiloscyllium plagiosum) liver. We mapped 91 miRNAs in the Callorhinchus milii genome that have previously been described in the Danio rerio, Fugu rubripes, Oryzias latipes, Xenopus laevis, Xenopus tropicalis, Homo sapiens, and Mus musculus. In addition, 156 new putative candidate (PC) C. plagiosum miRNAs were identified. From these 247 miRNAs, 39 miRNA clusters were identified, and the expression of these clustered miRNAs was observed to vary significantly. A total of 7 candidate miRNAs were selected for expression confirmation by stem-loop RT-PCR. This study resulted in the addition of a significant number of novel miRNA sequences to GenBank and laid the foundation for further understanding of the function of miRNAs in the regulation of C. plagiosum liver development.     

Semicircular canal system in early primates

Mammals with more rapid and agile locomotion have larger semicircular canals relative to body mass than species that move more slowly. Measurements of semicircular canals in extant mammals with known locomotor behaviours can provide a basis for testing hypotheses about locomotion in fossil primates that is independent of postcranial remains, and a means of reconstructing locomotor behaviour in species known only from cranial material. Semicircular canal radii were measured using ultra high resolution X-ray CT data for 9 stem primates (“plesiadapiforms”; n = 11), 7 adapoids (n = 12), 4 omomyoids (n = 5), and the possible omomyoid Rooneyia viejaensis (n = 1). These were compared with a modern sample (210 species including 91 primates) with known locomotor behaviours. The predicted locomotor agilities for extinct primates generally follow expectations based on known postcrania for those taxa. “Plesiadapiforms” and adapids have relatively small semicircular canals, suggesting they practiced less agile locomotion than other fossil primates in the sample, which is consistent with reconstructions of them as less specialized for leaping. The derived notharctid adapoids (excluding Cantius) and all omomyoids sampled have relatively larger semicircular canals, suggesting that they were more agile, with Microchoerus in particular being reconstructed as having had very jerky locomotion with relatively high magnitude accelerations of the head. Rooneyia viejaensis is reconstructed as having been similarly agile to omomyids and derived notharctid adapoids, which suggests that when postcranial material is found for this species it will exhibit features for some leaping behaviour, or for a locomotor mode requiring a similar degree of agility.
