小麦赤霉病菌细胞壁提取物(HCW)的生物活性*

从小麦赤霉病菌一禾谷镰孢 Fusarium gramtnearum Schw．强致病力(F15)和弱致病力(H28)菌株的菌丝细胞壁制备获得提取物(HCW),分别在抗病和感病小麦品种上对其生物括性进行了测定。结果表明,HCW可显著提高小麦黄化芽鞘、愈伤组织和穗组织等的苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)和黄化芽鞘组织的脂氧合酶(LOX)的活力,但不影响小麦黄化芽鞘的生长。强、弱致病力菌株的Hcw的生物活性无明显差异,抗、感病品种对}删的反应也基本一致。禾谷镰孢产生的一种单端孢霉烯族毒素一脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇(DON)也具有类似的生物活性。HCW和DON均可抑制病菌的生长,但这种抑制作用又可部分互相抵消。     

双孢蘑菇上的丝枝霉新种

1980—1981年先后自北京、昆明、福州等地双孢蘑菇[Agaricus bisporus (Lange)Sing.]上分离到一种真菌,在PDA上的培养性状与蘑菇轮枝菌(Vertieillium psalliotae Tresch．)和蛛网丝枝霉中国变种[Aphanocladium aranearum(Petch) Gams var sincase J．D．Chen]近 似。镜检可见其兼具上述两种菌的形态。经反复多次纯化,并挑取单孢子培养,肯定了这种真菌是纯菌。在培养基上已保存4年,形态稳定。它具典型蘑菇轮枝菌形态,而其丝枝霉型瓶梗的形成和瘪缩时间、长度、原瓶梗数量、末端瓶梗数及排列密度等,都与蛛网丝枝霉中国变种有一定差异,与丝枝霉属其它种亦不同,故定为两型丝枝霉新种(Aphanocladium dimorphum sp-nov.)。本文详细描述了该新种的形态,井对文甲所提的五种真菌及其与Engyodontium属间的关系进行了讨论。

中国腐霉属的生态和分布

腐霉属PytMum真菌全世界已报道约100种。本文记载我国的腐霉45种,以及它们的生态及地理分布。腐霉喜栖息于富含有机质的潮湿土壤里,以菜园土中为最多,其次是大田土、水畔土和陵园土,干旱的沙质土、森林土和含盐碱的沼泽土一般均较少,最贫乏的是草丘土,如草原、牧场、山坡、荒丘及道旁等土壤。在我国的土壤中,以绚丽腐霉P．Pulchrum和瓜果腐霉P. aphanidermatum最为常见,其次是刺腐霉Spinosum、中国腐霉P．Sinense和卡地腐霉P. carolinianum,而顶生腐霉P．Acrogenum、色孢腐霉P．Coloratum、壁台腐霉P connatura等10个种却较罕见,仅出现过一次。腐霉在土壤中的垂直分布以5—10㈨深处为最多。腐霉在土壤中的活动有着明显的季节性变化：春季最多,秋季次之,夏季最少。在我国的30个省市自治区中,北京发现的腐霉最多,已报道22种;河北、广东、云南省次之,各有13种;台湾省已记录12个种;山西省、甘肃省和新疆维吾尔自治区均仅发现一个种;而青海省、宁夏回族自治区和西藏自治区迄今尚未见有腐霉报道。     

木霉(Trichoderma spp.)对三种引起大棚蔬菜病害病原菌的影响

通过木霉属(Trichoderma) 3菌株与双鸭山蔬菜大棚中的黄瓜枯萎病菌(FusariumoxysporumSchlecht.f.cucumerinum)、黄瓜果腐病菌(PhytophthoracapsiciLeonian)、菜豆叶枯病菌(Cladosporiumsp .)的对峙培养试验,结果表明:绿色木霉1(TrichodermaviridePers.exGray 1)可作为双鸭山蔬菜大棚中的黄瓜枯萎病、黄瓜果腐病、菜豆叶枯病3种病害的生物防治拮抗菌加以利用,该拮抗菌对菜豆叶枯病菌抑制效果最好;绿色木霉2 (Tricho dermaviride 2 )对黄瓜果腐病菌抑制效果最好;而哈茨木霉(TrichodermaharzianumRifai)对以上3种病原菌都有抑制效果,对菜豆叶枯病菌抑制效果最好。从试验结果还可看出,绿色木霉2对黄瓜枯萎病菌和菜豆叶枯病菌的生长有促进作用。     

小麦雪霉叶枯病菌侵染过程的细胞学研究

采用电镜技术研究了小麦雪霉叶枯病菌(Gerlachia nivalis)侵染过程的细胞学特征。电镜观察发现,分生孢子萌发产生的芽管由孢子细胞壁内层延伸而成;病菌侵入寄主体内后,胞间菌丝先在寄主细胞间扩展,随后胞间菌丝侵入坏死的寄主细胞,形成胞内菌丝;胞间菌丝和胞内菌丝在形态结构上无明显差异。在病菌扩展过程中,寄主细胞发生了一系列的病理变化,并最终坏死消解,寄主细胞的变化可能与病菌分泌的毒素有关。

ORIENTATION OF SWIMMING FLAGELLATES BY SIMULTANEOUSLY ACTING EXTERNAL FACTORS1

The directionality of phototaxis combined with gravitaxis was investigated experimentally for populations of the swimming alga Euglena gracilis Klebs. Two irradiances were used: a “weak” irradiance to elicit positive phototaxis and a “strong” irradiance to elicit negative phototaxis. In addition, by changing the density of cells in the suspension, the number of collisions between cells was varied to determine the effects of these collisions on the distribution of swimming directions in both the absence and the presence of illumination. We found that positive phototaxis was associated with a broader distribution of swimming directions than was negative phototaxis. In the latter case, the effect of phototaxis dominated over that of gravitaxis. Experiments on another swimming alga, Chlamydomonas nivalis Wille, showed that collisions between cells degraded the directionality of gravitaxis.     

Chemosensory responses of Aporcelaimellus nivalis (Nematoda: Dorylaimida) towards kairomones emitted by prey nematodes belonging to different trophic groups

Abstract

Observations were made on the attraction of Aporcelaimellus nivalis towards kairomones/attractants emitted by prey nematodes belonging to different trophic categories, viz., saprophagous, epidermal, migratory semi-endodermal, predatory nematodes, virus vectors and cortical feeders. Aporcelaimellus nivalis responded positively and significantly to prey kairomones, but showed variation in their individual behaviour. Predators are most attracted towards epidermal feeders and least attracted to virus vectors. The differential responses of A. nivalis towards different prey were attributed to the inert behaviour of predators, their preference for a particular species of prey, chemical composition, concentration, quality, quantity of prey attractant, formation of minimum perceptible attraction gradient of prey and minimum response threshold of predators. Various factors such as prey density, period of prey incubation, starvation of predators, temperature, agar concentration, agar thickness and distance of predators from the source of attraction (prey) govern chemosensory responses of predator. Aporcelaimellus nivalis maximum response was towards Hirschmanniella oryzae, when tested as 10 day starved predators in agar plates containing 2 mm thick layer of 1% water-agar with 200 prey individuals previously incubated for 16 h at 30°C. Prey kairomones were most attractive when A. nivalis were tested from a distance of 2 and 3 cm.     

CHORUS HOWLING BY WOLVES: ACOUSTIC STRUCTURE,PACK SIZE AND THE BEAU GESTE EFFECT

ABSTRACT

A variety of structural parameters were measured from wolf choruses recorded in the Superior National Forest, Minnesota, USA. Mean duration of 60s did not vary with pack size or composition. Packs replied to simulated howling after an average of 40s, often interrupting the stimulus howls. Choruses began with simply-structured howls, which became increasingly modulated as the chorus progressed. Little difference in mean fundamental frequency or other howl parameters was found among the choruses from packs of various sizes and compositions. In particular, choruses produced by single adult pairs did not differ from those of larger packs accompanied by pups. The lack of relationship between chorus parameters and pack size or composition indicates there is little useful information concerning a pack's size to be found in its chorus howling.

The observation that chorus howling by adult pairs is often perceived as that of larger groups with pups suggests that chorus structure has evolved to exaggerate the apparent size of the pack, especially those newly-established or otherwise reduced in number. If so, wolf howling choruses may represent a mammalian example of the Beau Geste effect, made particularly viable because of the relative immunity of the signal to probing.

Rarity and decline in palaeoendemic Martino's vole Dinaromys bogdanovi

• 1 Martino's vole Dinaromys bogdanovi is the only living member of the Tertiary genus Dinaromys, and probably also the only surviving member of the Pliomys lineage. The range of the genus Dinaromys has historically been small and its rate of evolution has been low.
• 2 Martino's vole shows all three attributes of rarity in accordance with Rabinowitz's ‘seven forms of rarity’ model: (i) its range is estimated at 43 545 km² but the area of occupancy is <5200 km²; (ii) its habitat requirements are narrow and the species is strictly tied to exposed, karstified bedrock; and (iii) current populations are invariably small and frequently isolated.
• 3 The Pleistocene range of Martino's vole exceeded the recent one, at least in the north‐western part of the Balkans, and its shrinkage continued into the Holocene.
• 4 Martino's vole may be in competition with the European snow vole Chionomys nivalis, which has a very similar morphology and presumably identical habitat requirements, but is shifted towards an r‐selected life‐history strategy. Long‐term sympatry of these voles has probably resulted in competitive exclusion of the relatively K‐selected Martino's vole by the relatively r‐selected European snow vole.
• 5 Martino's vole consists of two deeply divergent (about one million years ago) phylogeographical lineages, which may represent distinct cryptic species. Rarity is particularly pronounced in the north‐western lineage to the west of the Neretva River, where rocky habitats are largely occupied by the European snow vole.
• 6 In the IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals, Martino's vole is classified as ‘near threatened’. However, the north‐western lineage, which is phylogeographically most divergent and has the greatest genetic diversity, is classed as a ‘vulnerable’ evolutionary significant unit on the basis of its small area of occupancy (<2000 km²). Long‐term population monitoring is an essential step in evaluating the conservation needs of Martino's vole.

     

Phylogeography and population history of the least weasel (Mustela nivalis) in the Palearctic based on multilocus analysis

The least weasel (Mustela nivalis) is one of the most widely distributed carnivorans. While previous studies have identified distinct western and eastern mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineages of the species in the western Palearctic, their broader distributions across the Palearctic have remained unknown. To address the broad-scale phylogeographical structure, we expanded the sampling to populations in Eastern Europe, the Urals, the Russian Far East, and Japan, and analyzed the mtDNA control region and cytochrome b, the final intron of the zinc finger protein on Y chromosome (ZFY), and the autosomal agouti signaling protein gene (ASIP). The mtDNA data analysis exposed the previous western lineage (Clade I) but poorly supported assemblage extending across Palearctic, whereas the previous eastern lineage (Clade II) was reconfirmed and limited in the south western part of the Palearctic. The ZFY phylogeny showed a distinctive split that corresponding to the mtDNA lineage split, although less phylogeographical structure was seen in the ASIP variation. Our data concur with the previous inference of the Black Sea–Caspian Sea area having an ancestral character. The Urals region harbored high mitochondrial diversity, with an estimated coalescent time of around 100,000 years, suggesting this could have been a cryptic refugium. Based on the coalescent-based demographic reconstructions, the expansion of Clade I across the Palearctic was remarkably rapid, while Clade II was relatively stable for a longer time. It seems that Clade II has maintained a constant population size in the temperate region, and the expansive Clade I represents adaptation to the cold regions.
