亚洲柑桔木虱若虫在寄主上的转移和扩散研究

黄龙病是世界柑桔产业的一种毁灭性病害，亚洲柑桔木虱Diaphorina citri Kuwayama为黄龙病亚洲种和美洲种的媒介昆虫，其成虫和高龄若虫都能传病。本文研究亚洲柑桔木虱若虫在感染黄龙病及健康寄主上的转移和扩散规律，发现3龄及3龄以上若虫在柑桔植株垂直和水平位置的嫩梢之间转移现象十分明显，但在黄龙病植株上转移速度较健康植株慢，且嫩梢间的转移速度受虫密度的影响，密度越高转移速度越快。在有选择的条件下，水平位置转移过程中若虫更趋向黄龙病植株。此外，在健康寄主上的木虱若虫有明显向植株下部转移的现象，向下部转移的若虫个体数显著高于黄龙病寄主。本文明确了木虱若虫的扩散规律和寄主感染黄龙病对其转移和扩散产生的影响，为柑桔木虱和黄龙病防治提供参考。

Somatic hybridization for citrus rootstock breeding: an effective tool to solve some important issues of the Mediterranean citrus industry

The prevalence of sour orange rootstock in the southern and eastern part of the Mediterranean Basin is presently threatened by the spread of Citrus Tristeza Virus (CTV) and its main vector Toxoptera citricida, combined with abiotic constraints such as drought, salinity and alkalinity. The search for alternative CTV-resistant rootstocks that also withstand the other constraints is now considered an urgent priority for a sustainable citrus industry in the area. Complementary progenitors can be found in citrus germplasm to combine the desired traits, particularly between Poncirus and Citrus genera. The production of somatic hybrids allows cumulating all dominant traits irrespective of their heterozygosity level, and would appear to be an effective way to solve the rootstock challenge facing the Mediterranean citrus industry. This paper presents the results obtained during a regional collaborative effort between five countries, to develop new rootstocks by somatic hybridization. New embryogenic callus lines to be used for somatic hybridization have been created. Protoplast fusions have been performed at CIRAD and IVIA laboratories, focusing on intergeneric combinations. Analysis of ploidy level by flow cytometry and molecular markers confirmed the acquisition of new interesting tetraploid somatic hybrids for six combinations. Diploid cybrids with intergeneric (Citrus?×?Poncirus) nucleus and C. reticulata or C. aurantifolia mitochondria were also identified for four combinations. The agronomical performance of a pre-existing somatic hybrid between Poncirus trifoliata and Citrus reticulata was validated in calcareous soils in Morocco. Somatic hybridization is now integrated into the breeding programs of the five Mediterranean countries.     

The movement and distribution of citrus tristeza virus and citrus exocortis viroid in citrus seedlings1

The systemic movement of citrus tristeza virus (CTV) in sour orange (Citrus aurantium) seedlings and of citrus exocortis viroid (CEVd) in Etrog citron (C. medica) seedlings was studied. The movement of the two pathogens was analysed by detection in sections of roots and stems at different time intervals. Both pathogens were detected initially in the basal parts and the roots and subsequently spread to the shoot. CTV and CEVd moved in young citrus seedlings at similar rates. The findings are consistent with long distance phloem transport of the virus and the viroid. The practical implications of the pattern of systemic movement for diagnosis of infected trees are discussed.     

Overview of Strain Characterization in Relation to Serological and Molecular Detection of Citrus tristeza <i>Closterovirus</i>

Tristeza is a devastating viral disease in all the citrus growing countries throughout the world and has killed millions of citrus trees in severely affected orchards. The citrus species grafted on sour orange rootstock are affected by this disease. Predominantly, the sweet orange, grapefruit and lime trees grafted on sour orange exhibit severe symptoms like quick decline, vein clearing, pin holing, bark scaling and degeneration leading to variable symptoms. Symptomatic expression of Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) in different hosts has been attributed to virus isolates which are from severe to mild. Different serological and molecular assays have been deployed to differentiate the strains of CTV. Citrus tristeza virus is diversified towards its strains on the basis of biological, serological and molecular characterization. Phenotypic expression is due to genetic alteration and different molecular basis have now been adopted for strain differentiation. This review will give a brief idea about the different CTV isolates, their characterization based on nucleic acid and serological assays. Different methods along with salient features for strain characterization has also been reviewed. This review will also open the new aspects towards formulation of management strategies through different detection techniques.     

Oviposition behaviour and larval development of Anastrepha fraterculus from Argentina in citrus

Citrus peel physicochemical attributes are considered the main components conferring partial or even total resistance to fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) infestation. Fruit fly females adapt their ovipositional strategies to overcome such resistance. Here, we explored the effects of citrus species (Rutaceae) on the ovipositional behaviour of the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann), and on its immature development. Particularly, we investigated the effects of (1) citrus species on oviposition behaviour and immature development, (2) citrus species on oviposition preference and on the location of the eggs at different depth in the citrus peel, and (3) harvest season and post‐harvest storage time on oviposition behaviour and immature development in lemon. Citrus species influenced ovipositional behaviour and affected survival of immature stages. Females laid eggs in lemon [Citrus limon (L.) Burm.], orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck], and grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macfadyen). In orange and lemon, larvae were found dead close to the oviposition areas, suggesting chemically mediated resistance mechanisms. Under choice conditions, females preferred grapefruit over lemon and bigger clutches were found in the layers where embryonic development is favoured. Unsuitability of lemon as a medium to complete development was neither affected by harvest season nor by storage time of the fruit after harvest. The physical and chemical characteristics of the peel were distinctive to each citrus species and may have affected the specific levels of resistance of these citrus species to infestation by A. fraterculus.     

Prediction of citrus canker epidemics generated through different inoculation methods

Citrus canker epidemics were generated with 10^8?cfu/ml of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (ex Hasse) on Citrus limonia cv. China lemon, Citrus reticulate cv. kinnow, Citrus jambhiri, Citrus reticulate cv. Feutral’s early and Citrus limettioides using four inoculation techniques. Natural inoculum was also relied upon for infection. Overall, the injection infiltration method led to maximum disease generation followed by spray, pinprick and smear inoculation methods. Citrus canker incidence along with environmental data were recorded and subjected to stepwise regression analysis. Except relative humidity, the relationship of weekly air temperature (maximum and minimum), rainfall and wind speed with citrus canker disease development in all citrus cultivars was positively correlated and best explained by linear regression. Overall, two environmental variable model containing maximum and minimum air temperature fit the data well explaining 93% variability in disease development. The observed citrus canker incidence values and those predicted by the model were close in most of citrus cultivars. This two environmental variable model can be used to issue advance warning forecasts for the timely management of the citrus canker in Pakistan.     

Distribution ofGeotrichum candidum citrus race in citrus groves and non-citrus fields in Japan

The presence ofGeotrichum candidum citrus race, the citrus sour rot pathogen, was examined in soils of citrus groves and non-citrus fields of Japan. Soil samples were collected from 223 sites (118 sites in citrus groves, and 105 sites in fields cultivated with 33 species of non-citrus plants and in evergreen broad-leaved forest) in 11 main citrus-growing prefectures, and Hokkaido, a non-citrus-growing area. Of 236 soil samples from citrus groves, 95.76% containedG. candidum citrus race and 0.42% contained the non-citrus race; while of 210 samples from non-citrus fields, 62.85% and 4.76% contained the citrus race and the non-citrus race respectively. All of the citrus race isolates obtained either from citrus groves or non-citrus fields were pathogenic on lemon (Citrus limon) and satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu), but some of these isolates failed to infect orange (Citrus sinensis). The non-citrus races were pathogenic on ripe tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculentum) and ripe muskmelon fruit (Cucumis melo var.reticulatus). Results indicated that citrus sour rot pathogen is widely distributed in citrus groves and non-citrus fields of diverse plant species in Japan.

Utilization of Citrus by-products

Proceeds from the production oi by-products may spell the difference between profit and loss in the citrus canning industry. The three primary by-products of citrus are dried citrus pulp, molasses, and citrus peel oil. The most important utilization of citrus wastes is as stock feed, which consumes large quantities of dried pulp and citrus molasses. Citrus seed oil, alcohol, pectin, bland syrup, and feed yeast have been produced to a lesser extent.     

Molecular,Biological and Phylogenetic Analysis of Chinese Isolates of Hop stunt viroid Associated with Citrus Cachexia Disease

Citrus cachexia is an economically important disease of citrus hosts caused by specific variants of Hop stunt viroid (HSVd) that are usually referred to as Citrus cachexia viroid (CCaVd). Eight cachexia‐associated HSVd isolates were collected from six citrus growing areas of China, where citrus cachexia had not been reported previously. Forty‐seven independent cDNA clones were used for genetic diversity and phylogenetic analysis. There were no sequence variant‐cultivar correlation and no distinct regional specificity among or within the cachexia‐associated HSVd populations analysed. Three clusters consisting of three major HSVd variants were identified by phylogenetic analysis, suggesting that most Chinese isolates contain a mixture of cachexia and non‐cachexia variants. Biological properties of eight CCaVd isolates were determined by inoculating Parson’s Special mandarin (Citrus reticulata). Our results suggest that the interactions between CCaVd and non‐CCaVd variants might play an important role in suppressing cachexia symptom expression.
