黄瓜霜霉病菌侵染若干因子的研究

研究了温、湿度条件对黄瓜霜霉病菌致病性的影响,结果表明,25～35℃最适宜黄瓜霜霉病的发生,15/35℃的交替温度变化最有利于霜霉病菌的侵染,但35℃以上的高温对霜霉病菌具有杀伤作用;2 h的湿度条件就足以引起侵染,一旦侵入寄主,环境湿度条件对病害的发展影响不大.-20℃低温冷冻保存10个月和干燥放置7 d的霜霉菌种仍具致病力.发病的黄瓜叶片可以连续产生孢子囊,但随着发病时间的延长产生孢子囊量逐渐减少.活体叶片单位面积上产生的孢子囊量比离体叶片大,且显症天数与叶片单位面积产生孢囊量呈抛物线型关系.     

A Rapid Assay for Monitoring Peroxidase Activity in Melon as a Marker for Resistance to Pseudoperonospora cubensis

Abstract A rapid assay for monitoring peroxidase activity in melon as a marker for resistance to Pseudoperonospora cubensis was developed. A high correlation was demonstrated between peroxidase activity and resistance in test wells containing leaf disks of melon plants with known levels of susceptibility or resistance to P. cubensis. The possibility of using such an assay for a preliminary selection of melons resistant to P. cubensis is suggested.     

Genome Size Determination in Peronosporales (Oomycota) by Feulgen Image Analysis

Genome size was determined, by nuclear Feulgen staining and image analysis, in 46 accessions of 31 species of Peronosporales (Oomycota), including important plant pathogens such asBremia lactucae, Plasmopara viticola, Pseudoperonospora cubensis,andPseudoperonospora humuli.The 1C DNA contents ranged from 0.046 (45.6 Mb) to 0.163 pg (159.9 Mb). This is 0.041- to 0.144-fold that ofGlycine max(soybean, 1C = 1.134 pg), which was used as an internal standard for genome size determination. The linearity of Feulgen absorbance photometry method over this range was demonstrated by calibration ofAspergillusspecies (1C = 31–38 Mb) againstGlycine,which revealed differences of less than 6% compared to the published CHEF data. The low coefficients of variation (usually between 5 and 10%), repeatability of the results, and compatibility with CHEF data prove the resolution power of Feulgen image analysis. The applicability and limitations of Feulgen photometry are discussed in relation to other methods of genome size determination (CHEF gel electrophoresis, reassociation kinetics, genomic reconstruction) that have been previously applied to Oomycota.     

Internal mycelium of Pseudoperonospora cubensis, the causal agent of cucurbit downy mildew

The internal mycelium of Pseudoperonospora cubensis has been observed in transmission and scanning electron microscopic preparations. The internal mycelium may be inter- or intracellular. Haustoria of short swollen bundles of hyphae have been observed. Actively growing hyphae contain numerous mitochondria, nuclei, active dictyosomes, low amounts of storage materials (lipid) and microbody-like structures with a laminate inclusion. Thick walled hyphae with a diameter which is smaller than the actively growing hyphae have been observed. These thick wallcd hyphae contain large amounts of reserve material (lipid) and it is suggested that they may function as resting propagules.

Distribution,Host Range and Disease Severity of Pseudoperonospora cubensis on Cucurbits in the Czech Republic

Cucurbit downy mildew, caused by Pseudoperonospora cubensis, is a major cucumber disease in the Czech Republic. Disease prevalence, host range and disease severity were evaluated from 2001 to 2009. The geographical distribution of P. cubensis was assessed on ca 80–100 locations per year in two main regions of the Czech Republic (central and southern Moravia, and eastern, northern and central Bohemia). Infection by P. cubensis was observed primarily on cucumber (Cucumis sativus) but only on the leaves. During the study, disease prevalence ranged from 66 to 100%. The majority of C. sativus crops were heavily infected at the end of the growing season (second half of August). Generally, P. cubensis was present at high or very high disease severity. The loss of foliage results in the reduction in the quality and quantity of marketable yield of fruit. Pseudoperonospora cubensis was widespread across the whole area of the Czech Republic studied. Very rarely, infection was recorded in muskmelon (Cucumis melo) and Cucurbita moschata. Of other pathogens, the most frequently recorded was the cucurbit powdery mildew (Golovinomyces cichoracearum and Podosphaera xanthii).     

The cucurbit downy mildew pathogen Pseudoperonospora cubensis

Pseudoperonospora cubensis[(Berkeley & M. A. Curtis) Rostovzev], the causal agent of cucurbit downy mildew, is responsible for devastating losses worldwide of cucumber, cantaloupe, pumpkin, watermelon and squash. Although downy mildew has been a major issue in Europe since the mid-1980s, in the USA, downy mildew on cucumber has been successfully controlled for many years through host resistance. However, since the 2004 growing season, host resistance has been effective no longer and, as a result, the control of downy mildew on cucurbits now requires an intensive fungicide programme. Chemical control is not always feasible because of the high costs associated with fungicides and their application. Moreover, the presence of pathogen populations resistant to commonly used fungicides limits the long-term viability of chemical control. This review summarizes the current knowledge of taxonomy, disease development, virulence, pathogenicity and control of Ps. cubensis. In addition, topics for future research that aim to develop both short- and long-term control measures of cucurbit downy mildew are discussed. TAXONOMY: Kingdom Straminipila; Phylum Oomycota; Class Oomycetes; Order Peronosporales; Family Peronosporaceae; Genus Pseudoperonospora; Species Pseudoperonospora cubensis. DISEASE SYMPTOMS: Angular chlorotic lesions bound by leaf veins on the foliage of cucumber. Symptoms vary on different cucurbit species and varieties, specifically in terms of lesion development, shape and size. Infection of cucurbits by Ps. cubensis impacts fruit yield and overall plant health. INFECTION PROCESS: Sporulation on the underside of leaves results in the production of sporangia that are dispersed by wind. On arrival on a susceptible host, sporangia germinate in free water on the leaf surface, producing biflagellate zoospores that swim to and encyst on stomata, where they form germ tubes. An appressorium is produced and forms a penetration hypha, which enters the leaf tissue through the stomata. Hyphae grow through the mesophyll and establish haustoria, specialized structures for the transfer of nutrients and signals between host and pathogen. CONTROL: Management of downy mildew in Europe requires the use of tolerant cucurbit cultivars in conjunction with fungicide applications. In the USA, an aggressive fungicide programme, with sprays every 5-7 days for cucumber and every 7-10 days for other cucurbits, has been necessary to control outbreaks and to prevent crop loss.

Resistance reactions of Cucumis melo to inoculation with Pseudoperonospora cubensis

Reactions of several cultivars and breeding lines of melons to artificial inoculation at the seedling stage with a local isolate of Pseudoperonospora cubensis were compared under growth chamber and field conditions. Four different reactions were distinguishable: highly susceptible, susceptible, partially resistant and resistant. The differences in the reactions were more clear-cut under growth chamber conditions. Selection for resistance could be carried out at the seedling stage using sporangia production and lesion size, shape, colour and number as criteria. Under growth chamber conditions, plants of resistant lines had minimal sporangia production and circular or angular lesions 1–2 cm in diameter which became necrotic within 5 days after inoculation.     

Leaf morphology and anatomy of transgenic cucumber lines tolerant to downy mildew

The objective of the present paper was to investigate the reason of increased tolerance to the pathogenic fungus Pseudoperonospora cubensis found in transgenic cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) lines 210 and 212 bearing 35S:cDNA preprothaumatin II gene construct. The tolerance investigation was accomplished by comparing the morphological and anatomical structure of plant leaves. The results obtained demonstrate that leaves of both lines exhibited some anatomical and morphological characteristics (e.g. wax load and composition, cuticle ultrastructure, ultrastructure of secondary wall, arrangement of mesophylll cells) which may be responsible for enhanced tolerance.     

A Study on the Overwintering of Cucumber Downy Mildew Oospores in China

Oospore formation of Pseudoperonospora cubensis was investigated in 10 Chinese locations: Mohe, Harbin, Changchun, Shenyang, Beijing, Liaocheng, Yinchuan, Xining, Yangling and Haikou. Oospores were observed in all but Haikou. Oospore viability was monitored from 10 January to 10 July 2009, in Harbin. Percentages of activated oospores increased from 10 April with a peak in late May (14.0% on 25 May 2009), and then decreased. This is in accordance with the usual time of downy mildew appearance in Harbin, 20–30 May. Inoculation tests using the oospores overwintered in Harbin, whether in the greenhouse or outdoors, showed that these were viable, with a disease occurrence of 26.6–95.0%. Oospores overwintering locally could be primary infection sources of downy mildew in cool temperate northern China.
