南方根结线虫效应因子功能的研究进展

南方根结线虫(Meloidogyne incognita)是适生区分布广、为害普遍的一类植物内寄生线虫。线虫不同寄生阶段分泌的效应因子,在"植物-线虫"互作中,除了引起线虫的无毒特征外,也通过干扰植物正常的防御反应和细胞功能,进而参与线虫的早期侵染、迁移以及后期稳定寄生等过程。现从植物细胞壁的修饰、线虫无毒蛋白、植物免疫反应的抑制、生长素和细胞分裂素信号的调控,以及植物细胞结构和基础代谢的影响等方面,介绍南方根结线虫效应因子功能的研究现状。与此同时,对南方根结线虫效应因子功能研究中所存在的问题进行讨论,并展望未来的研究方向。

南方根结线虫初始接种密度对生姜生长的影响

在盆栽条件下,研究了南方根结线虫不同初始接种密度对生姜生长的影响.结果表明,南方根结线虫的侵染,降低生姜株高、茎粗、分枝数、茎叶鲜重和根系鲜重,最终降低生姜的产量,且随着接种密度的增加,生姜生长所受到的危害也随之增加.每100 g干土接种0、100和200个卵,可使生姜分别减产27.91%、37.73%和42.14%.初始接种密度对南方根结线虫繁殖速率也有很大影响.一般初始接种密度低时繁殖速率高,接种密度高时繁殖速率低,其在生姜上的平衡密度为每100 g干土746.20个.

基于GIS的南方根结线虫在陕西省越冬区划分析

土壤温度是影响南方根结线虫(Meloidogyne incognita)越冬的重要因子。通过自动温度记录仪,从2009—2012年的每年冬季(11月至次年3月),对陕西省延安、商洛、杨凌和大荔4个生态区的气温和不同种植模式下的土壤温度进行数据采集和模拟统计,建立土温与气温关系的数学模型,根据模型将陕西省96个气象站点的气温数据转换为土温数据。利用GIS的克里金(Kriging)空间插值功能,结合实验室测得的南方根结线虫存活的最低温度,生成南方根结线虫在拱棚、地膜覆盖和露地3种种植条件下的越冬区划图并进行分析。研究表明,(1)0℃以下低温对南方根结线虫有明显抑制作用,南方根结线虫在低于-1℃低温持续32 d以上时无法越冬。(2)土壤温度和气温呈线性相关关系,4种种植条件下土壤温度(Y)与气温(X)的关系方程分别为露地:Y=0.8125X+1.9325,R=0.934;地膜覆盖:Y=0.7943X+1.8563,R=0.918;拱棚:Y=0.7046X+6.2685,R=0.907;温室:Y=0.302X+14.519,R=0.597。(3)最冷月土壤均温低于-1℃的概率在70%—80%的区域可以认为是南方根结线虫的越冬界线,越冬界线在露地、地膜覆盖和拱棚条件下依次北移,在温室条件下可在全省范围内越冬。     

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

Root-knot development in mulberry infested with Meloidogyne incognita

Healthy mulberry roots were inoculated with second stage juveniles of the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita and the sequential anatomical changes in the root concurrent with the development of the nematode were studied with light and scanning electron microscopes. Visible anatomical changes occurred four weeks post-inoculation when the pear-shaped adult female nematodes appeared in the tissues. The infected roots lost their circular outline and increased in thickness as traumatic parenchyma was induced in the root. The stele was disorganised with reduced and deformed vascular elements. Many giant cells developed in the traumatic tissue, adjacent to the adult females. Eight weeks after the inoculation, cavities developed around the adult females by tissue disintegration, and the galls became discernable on the roots. The number and size of thegalls increased in the next three weeks, corresponding to the development of more traumatic tissues and the enlargement of the adult female nematodes. The majority of the nematodes were settled towards the gall periphery, with their posterior oriented outwards for the release of their eggs into soil by the disintegration of the outer root layers. But many were settled deep inside the gall tissue without a channel to release their eggs to soil. The inner cavities enlarged in large proportions, sometimes occupying the major volume of the gall. The conductive tissues of the root were totally disorganised or were nonexistent.     

Effect of bark extract of different plant species on the hatching of Meloidogyne incognita

An in vitro experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of bark extract of different plant species viz., Azadirachta indica, Acacia nilotica, Emblica officinalis, Eucalyptus citriodora, Mangifera indica and Terminalia arjuna at varying concentration levels S, S/2, S/10 and S/100 on the hatching of Meloidogyne incognita. One hundred per cent inhibition was observed with Azadirachta indica under both un-decomposed and decomposed conditions. The effect was decreased with Acacia nilotica, Emblica officinalis, Eucalyptus citriodora, Mangifera indica and Terminalia arjuna, respectively. Effect of decomposed bark extract on hatching was more pronounced as compared to un-decomposed bark extract.     

Hatching Response of Meloidogyne incognita acrita to Electric Shock

The influence of electric shock on hatch of Meloidogyne incognita acrita from egg masses taken from roots of ''Acala SJ-I'' cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) was studied. Egg masses in tap water were individually placed between the tips of needle electrodes 1 mm apart and exposed to potentials of l, 10, 20, and 60 vdc/mm at 1, 1, 1, and 86 milliamperes dc, respectively, for periods of 2 and 60 seconds. Hatched larvae were counted at five-day intervals for 60 days. Of the eight treatment combinations used, six gave a greater egg hatch than the control. The largest hatch, 520 percent greater than the control, resulted from exposure to 1 vdc/mm for 60 seconds; 60 vdc/mm for 2 and 60 sec decreased egg hatch 11 and 94 percent of the untreated control. Hatched larvae from all treatments except the 60 vdc/mm, 60-second exposure were infective and reproduced on young cotton plants in a glasshouse.     

Pre-cold acclimation promotes cryoprotectant accumulation and enhances freezing tolerance of Meloidogyne incognita

Strong evidence suggests that cryoprotectant accumulation during pre-cold acclimation protects cells against freezing injuries caused by cellular dehydration. In this study, the concentrations of trehalose and glycerol were measured in Meloidogyne incognita and it was found that both cryoprotectants were significantly accumulated in second-stage juveniles (J2) of M. incognita after acclimation at 4°C. However, compared with non-acclimated samples, only a higher level of trehalose was induced in the egg masses of M. incognita in response to cold treatment. Further characterizations indicated that pre-cold acclimation efficiently accelerated the speed of larvae hatching from egg masses that were subjected to freezing at −1°C. In addition, the survival rate and pathogenicity of M. incognita J2 that had been acclimated prior to freezing were significantly enhanced when compared with non-acclimated J2 individuals. As far as we know, this is the first time that this phenomenon has been reported in M. incognita.     

Effect of certain organic materials in controlling Meloidogyne incognita root-knot nematode infesting banana

Efficacy of certain plant wastes as onion bulb envelope, dry leaves of sugar beet, fleabane and jojoba, filter cake or mud as sugar cane industrial residue and nile fertile mineral bio-fertilisers were studied under field conditions for managing Meloidogyne incognita on banana Cv. Williams. All the tested treatments significantly (P ≤ 0.05 and 0.01) proved to be effective in reducing the studied nematode criteria during the growing season of banana. The highest percentage reductions of 87.5 and 85.5% were recorded in the number of second-stage juveniles caused by fleabane at vegetative and harvest stages, respectively. As for galls, the highest percentage reductions of 80.4 and 79.6% were achieved at harvest stage by sugar beet waste and filter cake residue, respectively. Also, sugar beet waste was the best at increasing banana fruit yield per feddan (77.0%), followed by jojoba (53.1%) and fleabane (50.4%). The number of fingers and hands per bunch increased by the different materials at various degrees.     

System optimization for attachment of Pasteuria penetrans to Meloidogyne incognita

For optimal mass production of Pasteuria penetrans in vivo, it is important to develop a system that can ensure 100% nematode attachment of the bacteria and high bacterial infection after inoculation. In this study, effects of endospore concentration and centrifugation parameters on attachment were investigated, followed by evaluation of impacts of centrifugation on endospore dislodgement, Meloidogyne incognita juvenile (J2) mortality, J2 infectivity, and bacterial infectivity. Endospore concentration and percentage of attachment fit well to mass-action and logit models, with the former being superior. Centrifugation had no impact on J2 mortality but had a great impact on endospore dislodgement in sand and water, nematode infectivity and bacterial infectivity. At nematode concentration of 2×10³ J2/mL, the optimal system for endospore attachment was developed which consisted of bacteria at 2×10⁴ endospores/mL, and centrifugation at 9000×g for 3 min three times. This system generated 100% attachment with approximately seven endospores/J2. After inoculation of treated nematodes to tomato plants, the inoculum yielded 47% bacterial infection, superior to 17% infection observed in centrifugation at 6000×g. Endospore dislodgement occurred after placing the centrifuged inoculated nematodes in sand or water for 24 and 48 h, which was more severe in centrifugation at 6000 than at 9000×g. Results also indicated that centrifugation led to lower nematode infectivity, regardless of endospore presence and centrifugation at 9000 or 6000×g, compared with the no centrifugation control.     

Screening of antagonistic bacterial strains against Meloidogyne incognita using protease activity

Twenty-six bacterial strains that had demonstrated antagonism to some fungal and bacterial pathogens were evaluated for their ability to inhibit Meloidogyne incognita Kofoid & White. The inhibition rates of egg-hatching and second-stage juveniles (J2) mortality of M. incognita by these strains ranged from ?16.5 to 87.4% and from 1.3 to 77.8%, respectively. The 12 strains causing J2 mortality over 40% were chosen for greenhouse experiments in which their biocontrol efficacy reached 33.3–65.6%. On the other hand, among the 26 strains, 20 demonstrated in vitro protease activity and 14 revealed chitinase activity. Significantly, strains Bacillus sp. AR156 and GJ24 in greenhouse tests showed the strongest protease activities. The analyses of the relationships of the efficacy of the 12 strains with their protease and chitinase activities, respectively, indicated that biocontrol efficacy was highly correlated with protease activity (r=0.92, P<0.001) but barely correlated with chitinase activity. The strong positive correlation between protease activity and efficacy suggests that in vitro protease activity could be used as a parameter for selecting biological control agents (BCAs) against root-knot nematodes. Consistently, the biocontrol efficacy of AR156, GJ24, abamectin reached 74.3, 73.4, and 40.9% in the field in Huai-an, Jiangsu; and 71, 69.9, and 37% in Zao-zhuang, Shandong, respectively. The fact that the strains with high protease activities also had significantly higher biocontrol efficacy than abamectin in the field implies that in vitro protease activity may be adopted as a reliable new parameter for speeding up the process of screening the biological control agents (BCAs).
