沙冬青属的细胞学研究

沙冬青属(Ammopiptanthus)植物仅两个种,即蒙古沙冬青(A.mongolicus)和新疆沙冬青(A.nanus),为第三纪残遗种,是中亚荒漠唯一的常绿阔叶植物,因珍稀,临危而被列为国家重点保护植物”。国内外对该属两个种的染色体数目的记载存在着差异。本文对沙冬青属两种植物的染色体数目和核型进行了分析研究,旨在为探讨该属植物的发生和系统发育,以及开展植物多样性保护和合理开发利用积累资料。     

沙冬青染色体数目及核型的研究

本文首次报道了沙冬青的染色体数目及核型,沙冬青 Ammopiptanthus mongolicus (Maxim.)Cheng f.染色体基数目为x＝9,其核型公式为 2n=18=4m十14sm(2SAT)。     

沙冬青CBF/DREB1转录因子cDNA的克隆及序列分析

CBF/DREB1(C-repeat binding factor/dehydration resistance element binding protein 1)是一类抗逆相关的转录因子,它们的表达可以激活下游一系列抗逆应答基因的表达,从而提高植株的抗逆性.沙冬青(A mmopiptanthus mongolicus)主要生长在中国西北荒漠和半荒漠地带,是典型的旱生资源植物,具有突出的抗寒、抗旱、耐盐碱特性.本文以沙冬青为实验材料,利用RT-PCR和RACE技术克隆了沙冬青CBF/DREB1基因cDNA序列,并对其进行了序列分析.结果表明:沙冬青CBF/DREB1转录因子基因序列全长为991 bp,包括624 bp的开放阅读框(ORF),起始密码子ATG,终止密码子TAA,114 bp的5UTR和253 bp的3UTR,以及加尾信号AATAAA及poly(A)_(11).生物信息学预测其演绎的氨基酸序列具有AP2结构域,且AP2结构域的两端拥有CBF家族特有的PKK/PPAGRxKFxETRHP和DSAWR两段短多肽序列,属于CBF家族.沙冬青CBF/DREB1转录因子的克隆为进一步研究植物抗逆和获得抗性基因提供了新的候选基因,也为进一步从分子水平上验证其功能,深入理解植物适应干旱、低温和高盐机制奠定基础.

沙冬青属植物叶绿体基因组对比和系统发育分析

该研究以沙冬青和矮沙冬青叶绿体基因组为研究对象,比较分析其基因组结构和系统发育关系。结果显示: (1)沙冬青和矮沙冬青的叶绿体基因组具有典型的四段式结构,全长为153 935 bp和154 140 bp,其中大单拷贝区(LSC)分别为83 891 bp和84 126 bp,小单拷贝区(SSC)分别为18 022 bp和18 014 bp,以及长度各自为26 011 bp和26 000 bp的成对反向重复区(IRs);沙冬青和矮沙冬青均注释130个基因,包括85个蛋白编码基因(PCGs),37个转运RNA(tRNA)以及8个核糖体RNA(rRNA)。(2)沙冬青和矮沙冬青的叶绿体基因组中分别检测出26和15个回文重复序列,39和50个串联重复序列,23和34个散在重复序列。同时都鉴定出96个SSRs位点,包括74和73个单核苷酸重复,5和6个二核苷酸重复,以及各有17个复合SSR位点;边界分析显示两者IR区相似,但仍有一定差异。(3)通过近邻结合法(NJ)对沙冬青和矮沙冬青在内的17种蝶形花亚科以及2种云实亚科植物的叶绿体基因组构建的系统发育树显示,沙冬青和矮沙冬青以较高的支持率聚为一个独立分枝。该研究结果为沙冬青属的种间鉴别、SSR分子标记开发、保育工作、种群动态以及进一步研究坡塔里族的演化过程奠定了理论基础。     

沙冬青根瘤菌的抗逆性

沙冬青(Ammopiptanthus mongolicus)是西北荒漠地区珍稀常绿阔叶灌木,综合沙冬青分布区内气候、土壤和水分等因子,选取宁夏中卫县沙坡头、内蒙古磴口县、内蒙古阿拉善左旗、内蒙古乌拉特后旗作为样区,于2004年4月中下旬沙冬青的花期调查和收集根瘤,并结合地理环境对分离得到的根瘤菌进行抗逆性初步分析。调查发现根瘤的生成及其在宿主植物上的着生部位、大小、形状、颜色等因生境条件的不同而有所差异,水分是其主要的影响因子;分离得到根瘤菌17株,对其耐盐性、耐酸碱性、生长温度范围和抗生素抗性进行了研究。结果表明,64.7%的菌株可以在含3%NaCl的YMA培养基上生长;94.1%的菌株可以在pH 5~11的范围内生长;全部菌株在60 ℃处理10 min后仍能生长;不同菌株对不同抗生素表现出不同的抗性,ZW₄和WH₄¹对各抗生素表现出较强的抗性。分离自磴口县的根瘤菌普遍表现出较强的抗酸碱和抗高温的能力,这是对其环境的适应。本研究证明沙冬青根瘤菌具有较强的抗逆性,但菌株间存在差异,这可能是对沙冬青分布区多种景观生态类型的适应。同时测定了几种伴生植物中间锦鸡儿(Caragana intermedia)、猫头刺(Oxytropis aciphylla)和柠条(Caragana corshinskii)根瘤菌的抗逆性,与沙冬青根瘤菌表现出一定的相似性,具较强的抗逆性,说明生态环境对豆科植物-根瘤菌共生体有重要的影响。沙冬青的高抗性可能与沙冬青根瘤菌的高抗性有关。沙冬青与其根瘤菌的共生关系有利于其植物群落的发育和多样性的维系。     

聚乙二醇(PEG6000)模拟干旱胁迫抑制矮沙冬青种子的萌发

本研究以新疆特有濒危保护植物矮沙冬青(A mmmopiptanthus nanus(M.Pop.)Cheng f.)的种子为材料,用不同渗透势浓度的聚乙二醇(PEG6000)模拟干旱胁迫,探讨干旱胁迫对矮沙冬青种子发芽率、平均发芽速度、胚轴和胚根长度及发芽指数、活力指数的影响.结果表明,不同浓度PEG胁迫处理均降低了种子的发芽率,延缓了矮沙冬青种子萌发进程;种子的发芽率、发芽指数和活力指数均随胁迫强度的增加呈明显下降趋势.当-1.20 MPa的PEG胁迫处理的种子在试验结束时仍未能萌发,表明-1.20 MPa是矮沙冬青种子萌发的临界水势.PEG模拟干旱胁迫中,当PEG处理为-0.2 MPa时,虽然最终发芽率与对照一样,但其胚根、胚轴的长度都比对照短,说明矮沙冬青胚根、胚轴的生长比发芽率对干旱胁迫更敏感.干旱胁迫可能是导致矮沙冬青种群天然更新能力弱的原因之一.本研究将为矮沙冬青种质资源的保护和种群的恢复提供科学依据.

Taxonomic Characterization and Experimental Host Ranges of Four Newly Recorded Species of Alternaria from Japan

Alternaria fungi are important plant pathogens. Here, we identified three species new to the Japanese mycoflora: Alternaria celosiae, Alternaria crassa and Alternaria petroselini. We proposed a new name for A. celosiae (E.G. Simmons & Holcomb) Lawrence, Park & Pryor, a later homonym of A. celosiae (Tassi) O. S?vul. To characterize these and a fourth morphological taxon, Alternaria alstroemeriae, which was recently added to Japan's mycoflora, an integrated species concept was tested. We determined the host range of each isolate using inoculation tests and analysed its phylogenetic position using sequences of the internal transcribed spacer rDNA. The pathogenicity of our A. alstroemeriae isolate was strictly limited to Alstroemeria sp. (Alstroemeriaceae), but the species was phylogenetically indistinguishable from other small‐spored Alternaria. Alternaria celosiae on Celosia argentea var. plumosa (Amaranthaceae) was also pathogenic to Amaranthus tricolor, to Alternanthera paronychioides and weakly to Gomphrena globosa (all Amaranthaceae) and formed a clade with the former Nimbya celosiae. Alternaria crassa on Datura stramonium (Solanaceae) was also pathogenic to Brugmansia × candida and Capsicum annuum in Solanaceae, but not to other confamilial plants; phylogenetically it belonged to a clade of large‐spored species with filamentous beaks. Morphological similarity, phylogenetic relationship and experimental host range suggested that A. crassa, Alternaria capsici and Alternaria daturicola were conspecific. Alternaria petroselini on Petroselinum crispum (Apiaceae) was pathogenic to five species in the tribe Apieae as well as representatives of Bupleureae, Coriandreae, Seliaeae and Scandiceae in Apiaceae. Both phylogeny and morphology suggested conspecificity between A. petroselini and Alternaria selini.

Composition of the fungal flora of four cereal grains in Saudi Arabia

Using the grain-plate method and on glucose-Czapek's agar at 28°C, fifty-eight species belonging to 26 genera were collected from barley (42 species and 19 genera), maize (29 species and 16 genera), sorghum (32 species and 17 genera) and wheat grains (42 species and 18 genera).The most frequent genera were Aspergillus, Penicillium, Rhizopus, Fusarium, and Mucor followed by Alternaria, Drechslera, and Curvularia. From the preceding genera Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Penicillium notatum, Rhizopus stolonifer, Fusarium moniliforme, Mucor racemosus, Alternaria alternata, Drechslera spicifera, and Curvularia lunata were the most prevalent species in the four types of grains tested.     

ACTG-Toxins Produced by a Strain of Alternaria altemata That Does Not Originate From Citrus Species

AGTG-toxins designated as host-specific toxins were isolated at first from a pathotype of Alternaria alternata attacking Citrus species. A strain of Alternaria alternata isolated from Brassica sinensis in Central Germany and improved to a high tentoxin content, also produces two ACTG-toxins. It is doubtful, therefore, if both substances can be denoted as host-specific toxins.

Alternaria on cruciferous plants. 4.Alternaria species on seed of some cruciferous crops and their pathogenicity

The incidence ofAlternaria spp. on seed samples of cruciferous vegetable crops was surveyed between 1990 and 1992. Some commercial seed lots of crucifers which are commonly grown in Japan were infested withAlternaria species. ThreeAlternaria species were encountered on the seed samples ofBrassica campestris, B. orelacea, andRaphanus sativus. The most frequently detected species wereA. japonica andA. alternata onB. campestris, A. brassicicola onB. oleracea, andA. japonica andA. alternata onR. sativus, respectively.Alternaria brassicae was not detected in this study.Alternaria brassicicola isolates from these crops produced necrotic lesions on all of the crucifer seedlings inoculated, whileA. japonica induced different reactions in different plants or plant parts depending on isolates used in inoculation tests. In contrast, most isolates ofA. alternata could not produce necrotic lesions on foliage leaves of crucifers inoculated, although some of them produced clear lesions only on cotyledons.Alternaria alternata associated with these cruciferous crop seeds was considered to be an oppotunistic parasite of these crops.     

Mycotoxin-producing potential of fungi associated with qat (Catha edulis) leaves in yemen

Forty-four fungal species belonging to 20 genera were isolated from 30 samples of qat leaves. The most frequent genera wereAspergillus, Alternaria, Penicillium, andCladosporium followed byFusarium, Drechslera, Chœtomium, andMucor. The most prevalent species in above genera wereAspergillus niger, A. flavus, A fumigatus, Alternaria alternata, Penicillium chrysogenum, P. citrinum, Cladosporium cladosporioides, andFusarium verticillioides. From these fungi, 17 species (39%) related to 7 genera (35%) proved to be true endophytes. Eleven out of 75 isolates were mycotoxigenic.A. alternata produced alternariol and alternariol monomethyl ether whereasA. flavus produced aflatoxins B₁ and B₂. Ochratoxin A, sterigmatocystin, citrinin and T-2 toxin were produced byA. ochraceus, A. versicolor, P. citrinum andF. oxysporum, respectively. The presence of such toxigenic fungi associated with qat leaves is considered to be a threat to public health.     

Comparative studies into two isolates of Alternaria affecting umbelliferae

Summary 1. A new species ofAlternaria isolated from the diseased plants ofCarum copticum L.Peucedanum graveolens Benth. &Hook f. andFoeniculum vulgare Mill. is described and compared with other species affecting Umbelliferae.2. TheCoriandrum isolate described by the writer asAlternaria poonensis Raghunath is a shy sporulator in artificial culture with long beaked muriform spores formed singly at the end of comparatively short conidiophores.3. The isolate from the other three host plantsCarum copticum L.,Peucedanum graveolens Benth. &Hook f. andFoeniculum vulgare Mill. is named asAlternaria umbellifericola sp. nov. and is a profusely sporulating species, forming long chains of spores with rudimentary beak.4. TheCoriandrum isolate (Alternaria poonensis) has a narrower temperature range (25–30° C) than theCarum isolate (20–35° C) for optimum sporulation.5. TheCoriandrum isolate is pathogenic toCarum but not toDaucus carota L.6. TheCarum isolate is pathogenic toDaucus carota but does not infectCoriandrum sativum L.7. TheCoriandrum isolate has a wider host range among the Umbelliferae than theCarum isolate.Part of the M.Sc. thesis submitted to the Poona University, 1964.
