Studies of the distribution of the three group I introns (intron A, intron T, and intron AT) in the 26S rDNA of Gaeumannomyces graminis had suggested that they were transferred to a common ancestor of G. graminis var. avenae and var. tritici after it had branched off from var. graminis. Intron AT and intron A exhibited vertical inheritance and coevolved in concert with their hosts. Intron loss could occur
after its acquisition. Loss of any one of the three introns could occur in var. tritici whereas only loss of intron T had been found in the majority of var. avenae isolates. The existence of isolates of var. tritici and var. avenae with three introns suggested that intron loss could be reversed by intron acquisition and that the whole process is a dynamic
one. This process of intron acquisition and intron loss reached different equilibrium points for different varieties and subgroups,
which explained the irregular distribution of these introns in G. graminis. Each of the three group I introns was more closely related to other intron sequences that share the same insertion point
in the 26S rDNA than to each other. These introns in distantly related organisms appeared to have a common ancestry. This
system had provided a good model for studies on both the lateral transfer and common ancestry of group I introns in the 26S
rRNA genes.

Three randomly chosen isolates of Idriella bolleyi differed markedly in tolerance of water stress down to—5 MPa in vitro. The differences were seen with respect to osmotic potential of media adjusted with KCl or matric potential of media adjusted with polyethylene glycol 8000. They were consistent when assessed by linear extension of colonies, spore germination, biomass production in liquid culture and sporulation in liquid culture. In comparative tests, one strain of I. bolleyi showed similar stress tolerance to that oF Fusarium culmorum, noted as a pathogen of cereals in dry conditions, whereas another strain of I. bolleyi showed low tolerance equivalent to that of the take‐all fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis and a Phialophora sp. from maize. The extreme variation in water stress tolerance of I. bolleyi might be used to select strains for biocontrol of different cereal root‐ and foot‐rot pathogens or strains might be combined in seed‐applied inocula for consistency of biocontrol in different site or seasonal conditions. 相似文献

Both antibiotics and siderophores have been implicated in the control of soilborne plant pathogens by fluorescent pseudomonads. In Pseudomonas fluorescens 2–79, which suppresses take-all of wheat, the importance of the antibiotic phenazine-1-carboxylic acid was established with mutants deficient or complemented for antiobiotic production and by isolation of the antibiotic from the roots of wheat colonized by the bacteria. Genetic and biochemical studies of phenazine synthesis have focused on two loci; the first is involved in production of both anthranilic acid and phenazine-1-carboxylic acid, and the second encodes genes involved directly in phenazine synthesis. Because the antibiotic does not account fully for the suppressiveness of strain 2-79, additional mutants were analyzed to evaluate the role of the fluorescent siderophore and of an antifungal factor (Aff, identified as anthranilic acid) that accumulates when iron is limiting. Whereas strains producing only the siderophore conferred little protection against take-all, Aff+ strains were suppressive, but much less so than phenazine-producing strains. Iron-regulated nonsiderophore antibiotics may be produced by fluorescent pseudomonads more frequently than previously recognized, and could be partly responsible for beneficial effects that were attributed in the past to fluorescent siderophores. 相似文献

Six sterol biosynthesis-inhibiting fungicides representing several combinations of properties were applied to soil to control naturally-occurring take-all (caused by Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici) in winter wheat in field experiments in two successive years. The average take-all severity category was never more than moderate in the different clay-loam and sandy loam sites used in each year. At each site in each year there were six treatments and an untreated control in an arrangement based on a balanced-incomplete-block design for six treatments in 10 blocks each with three treatments. Each block had three treated plots and a control plot and was paired with the complementary block of three treatments (plus control) to form a complete replicate, of which there were 30 per site. Take-all assessments in June or July showed that after incorporation into the seed bed (at 2 kg ha“1and sometimes at 1 kg ha”1) in autumn, two non-volatile, strongly lipophilic compounds, nuarimol and triadimenol, with good intrinsic toxicity to the take-all fungus and slow rates of degradation, partially controlled take-all. However, another compound, flutriafol, with similar properties to nuarimol and triadimenol, controlled take-all less. Two slightly volatile, strongly lipophilic compounds, flusilazole and penconazole, with good intrinsic activity, were less effective (at 2 kg ha-1). A volatile, less lipophilic compound, PP 969, with less intrinsic activity, also partially controlled take-all, but only after application as a drench in the spring (2 kg ha-1). The most effective treatments were generally more effective the greater the level of disease (as indicated by assessments of disease in control plots), especially in spring assessments of disease. Although flutriafol did not perform as expected, it still seems reasonable to conclude that the requirements for a soil-applied fungicide to control take-all are likely to be: (i) good intrinsic fungitoxicity, (ii) some mobility in soil water (i.e. not strongly lipophilic), and (iii) season-long persistence. 相似文献

There have been no studies of the effect of take-all on leaf gas-exchange rates, despite the fact that take-all severely restricts
plant water and nutrient uptake, which results in significant biomass and grain yield reduction. Here we describe the effect
of inoculation with Gaeumannomyces graminis (Sacc.) var. tritici (Ggt) on carbon assimilation rate (A) and biomass production of wheat plants grown under two water regimes. We show that
the impact of Ggt inoculation on plant growth and leaf A may be through reduced photosynthetic capacity of the leaves and
not water stress per se. The nature of this reduced photosynthetic capacity remains uncertain but may involve nutrient deficiency and different enzymes
produced by the fungus. In each of the 3 years the experiment was conducted, Ggt significantly reduced A, i.e. at anthesis
by 18% in 2000, 15% in 2001, and 12% in 2002. In agreement with other field studies, Ggt reduced tiller number and production
of all plant components, mostly root dry mass and grain mass per plant. Highly significant negative correlations were found
between disease rating and A in all years, showing that at disease ratings equal or higher than 3 (on a scale from 1 to 4)
A could practically be zero. While A decreased, intercellular CO2 concentration increased or did not change, and stomatal conductance was relatively high. In addition, A was more reduced
under high than under low soil moisture content. These results support the idea that water stress per se did not contribute to the observed reduction of A. The mechanism of photosynthetic capacity reduction due to the Ggt root-rotting
fungus is of interest as it may lead to the molecular mechanisms of plant resistance and ultimately to the development of
take-all resistant plants. 相似文献

Abstract Thirty-eight wheat fields in southern England were sampled in an attempt to correlate the amount of take-all disease with 35 microbiological and chemical measurements of soil. There was little correlation between field take-all and pot tests to determine soil infectivity. Myxogastrids were important components of the soil population, being up to half of the amoebal population, and most soils contained dictyostelids, reticulate amoebae and myxobacteria. Amoebae, ciliates, bacteria and saprophytic fungi were recorded for all soils. pH was a major determinant of soil populations, being clearly correlated with fungal abundance and with numbers of ciliates, dictyostelids and bacteria. Principal component analysis separated dictyostelids from the other soil amoebae and again showed the importance of pH in determining soil microbial populations. Take-all was negatively correlated with soil fertility and positively related to nematodes and myxobacteria, but this was probably an effect of take-all, and represented saprophytic growth on dead roots rather than being a cause. Reticulate amoebae and dictyostelids were both correlated with low levels of take-all. This study emphasises the large number of interrelated populations of soil microorganisms which could have an effect on the severity of take-all infections. 相似文献
