Bioassays and whole-plant experiments were conducted to investigate the interaction between Tylenchulus semipenetrans and Phytophthora nicotianae. Both organisms are parasites of the citrus fibrous root cortex. Nematode-infected and non-infected root segments were excised from naturally infected field roots and placed on water agar in close proximity to agar plugs of P. nicotianae and then transferred to a Phytophthora-selective medium. At 10 and 12 days, 50% fewer nematode-infected segments were infected by P. nicotianae than non-infected segments. In whole-plant experiments in glass test tubes, sour orange seedlings were inoculated with two densities (8,000 or 80,000 eggs and second-stage juveniles) of T. semipenetrans, and after establishment of infection were inoculated with two densities (9,000 and 90,000 zoospores) of P. nicotianae. In the first experiment, fungal protein was 53% to 65% lower in the roots infected by both organisms than in roots infected by the fungus only. Compared to plants infected only by P. nicotianae, shoot weights were 33% to 50% greater (P ≤ 0.05) in plants infected by both parasites, regardless of inoculum density. Fibrous and tap root weights were 5% to 23% and 19% to 34% greater (P ≤ 0.05), respectively, in nematode-fungus combination treatments compared to the fungus alone. A second experiment was conducted, where plants were infected by the fungus, the nematode, both organisms, or neither organism. The soil mixture pH for 50% of the plants was adjusted from 4.5 to 7.0 to favor nematode infection. A higher rate of nematode infection of plants growing at pH 7.0 compared to pH 4.5 resulted in greater suppression of fungal development and greater inhibition of fungal damage to the plant. Compared to plants infected only by P. nicotianae, shoot and root weights were 37% and 33% greater (P ≤ 0.05), respectively, in plants infected by both parasites. These experiments have revealed antagonism between T. semipenetrans and P. nicotianae in citrus. 相似文献

Arabidopsis peroxidase AtPRX53 influences cell elongation and susceptibility to Heterodera schachtii
Cyst nematodes establish and maintain feeding sites (syncytia) in the roots of host plants by altering expression of host genes. Among these genes are members of the large gene family of class III peroxidases, which have reported functions in a variety of biological processes. In this study, we used Arabidopsis-Heterodera schachtii as a model system to functionally characterize peroxidase 53 (AtPRX53). Promoter assays showed that under non-infected conditions AtPRX53 is expressed mainly in the root, the hypocotyl and the base of the pistil. Under infected conditions, the AtPRX53 promoter showed upregulation at the nematode penetration sites and in their migration paths. Interestingly, strong GUS activity was observed in H. schachtii-induced syncytia during the early stage of infection and remained strong in the syncytia of third-stage juveniles. Also, AtPRX53 showed upregulation in response to wounding and jasmonic acid treatments. Manipulation of AtPRX53 expression through overexpression and knockout mutation affected both plant morphology and nematode susceptibility. While AtPRX53 overexpression lines exhibited short hypocotyls, aberrant flower development and reduced nematode susceptibility to H. schachtii, the atprx53 mutant showed long hypocotyls and a 3-carpel silique phenotype as well as a non significant increase of nematode susceptibility. Taken together these data, therefore, indicate diverse roles of AtPRX53 in the wound response, flower development and syncytium formation. 相似文献

Interactions between the root‐knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita and three isogenic tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) genotypes were examined when plants were grown under ambient (370 ppm) and elevated (750 ppm) CO2. We tested the hypothesis that, defence‐recessive genotypes tend to allocate ‘extra’ carbon (relative to nitrogen) to growth under elevated CO2, whereas defence‐dominated genotypes allocate extra carbon to defence, and thereby increases the defence against nematodes. For all three genotypes, elevated CO2 increased height, biomass, and root and leaf total non‐structural carbohydrates (TNC):N ratio, and decreased amino acids and proteins in leaves. The activity of anti‐oxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase and catalase) was enhanced by nematode infection in defence‐recessive genotypes. Furthermore, elevated CO2 and nematode infection did not qualitatively change the volatile organic compounds (VOC) emitted from plants. Elevated CO2 increased the VOC emission rate only for defence‐dominated genotypes that were not infected with nematodes. Elevated CO2 increased the number of nematode‐induced galls on defence‐dominated genotypes but not on wild‐types or defence‐recessive genotypes roots. Our results suggest that CO2 enrichment may not only increase plant C : N ratio but can disrupt the allocation of plant resources between growth and defence in some genetically modified plants and thereby reduce their resistance to nematodes. 相似文献

The life history of the bird cherry-oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), was studied via laboratory assays on Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV)-infected and non-infected transgenic and non-transformed wheat [ Triticum aestivum L. (Poaceae)]. Although R. padi is not a WSMV vector, it is known to colonize WSMV-infected wheat plants. Two transgenic soft white winter wheat genotypes, 366-D03 and 366-D8, that express the WSMV coat protein gene, and the WSMV-susceptible non-transformed cultivar Daws were tested. All genotypes showed disease symptoms when infected with WSMV. Whereas plant height was significantly reduced on virus-infected compared to non-infected plants of all genotypes, virus-infected transgenic plants exhibited lower virus titer and lower disease rating scores than Daws. No significant effects of WSMV infection or genotypes were observed on the length of R. padi nymphal development period, nor on their pre-, and post-reproductive periods. Rhopalosiphum padi reproductive period was significantly longer on Daws infected with WSMV than on non-infected plants of this cultivar. In contrast, there were no significant differences in length of R. padi reproductive period between virus-infected and non-infected transgenic plants within a genotype. Rhopalosiphum padi daily fecundity was significantly lower and adult longevity significantly longer on virus-infected than on non-infected plants of all genotypes. Total aphid fecundity and intrinsic rate of increase were not significantly different among treatments. The percentage of winged aphids that developed was greater on WSMV-infected compared to non-infected plants within a genotype. Results indicate that both virus infection status of plants and wheat genotype influence the life history of R. padi. 相似文献

A 3-year microplot study was conducted to characterize the interaction between Meloidogyne arenaria race 1 (MA1) and M. hapla (MH), as affected by the five peanut genotypes: Florigiant, NC 7, NC 6, NC Ac 18416, and NC Ac 18016. The interactive effects on infection (total parasitic forms per root unit) and reproduction potentials of each nematode species and crop damage were determined. As a single population, MA1 had greater infection capacity and caused more crop damage than did MH, but both species had similar reproduction potentials. In mixed infestations, MA1 was more competitive than MH, as reflected by incidence of infection. Infection and reproduction potentials, and crop-damage capabilities of the mixed populations were similar to those of MA1 alone. All peanut genotypes were susceptible to infection by both nematodes. NC 6 was less susceptible to damage by MA1 and the mixed populations than other genotypes. A nematode treatment x genotype interaction was detected for root infection and crop damage, but not for population density or reproduction. With high preplant nematode levels (Pi), the populations reached their peak by midseason, whereas those with low Pi peaked after midseason. Crop damage in the second and third years was correlated with Pi level. 相似文献

Changes in ascorbate peroxidase (APX) enzyme activity in response to nematode (Heterodera avenae) attack were studied in roots of three hexaploid wheat lines carrying Cre2, Cre5, or Cre7 nematode resistance genes and the susceptible Triticum aestivum cv. Anza. A spectrophotometric analysis was carried out with root extracts of infected plants 4, 7, 11, and 14 days after nematode inoculation using uninfected plant as control. APX induction in infected resistant genotypes was similar and higher than in the susceptible control. The introgression wheat/Aegilops ventricosa H-93-8 line, carrying the Cre2 gene, and its parental line H-10-15 as susceptible control were used to analyze whether this increase of activity was correlated with the induction of APX gene expression. Genes encoding cytosolic forms of APX were induced in roots of both lines in response to nematode infection. This induction took place both earlier and with greater intensity in the resistant line than in the susceptible one, and it was also higher in the root area at the site of nematode attachment. 相似文献

Activities of defence‐related proteins (β‐1,3‐glucanases, chitinases and peroxidases) and concentrations of total soluble phenolics were measured in roots and leaves of non‐infected and infected plants to investigate the response of different citrus rootstock genotypes to the root rot pathogen Phytophthora palmivora Butler. Infection with the pathogen increased concentrations of total proteins, total phenolics and β‐1,3‐glucanase activity in roots of all genotypes, and increases were associated with the extent of root mass reductions and thus susceptibility of the plants. Root chitinase and root peroxidase levels were slightly reduced or unaltered upon infection. β‐1,3‐Glucanase activity was also elevated in leaves of infected plants, but increases did not differ between tolerant and susceptible rootstocks. Effects of root infection on leaves were typically the reverse of effects on roots for chitinase‐ and peroxidase levels and more pronounced in susceptible rootstock genotypes. Although differences in enzyme expression were observed between susceptible and tolerant citrus seedlings, effects were usually associated with disease progression, and not with resistance to P. palmivora. It is suggested that increased activities of the proteins and soluble phenolics studied are not implicated in the primary defence to Phytophthora root diseases, but may contribute to the inhibition of the pathogen during infection in tolerant citrus. 相似文献

Aims
The biocontrol potential of three Bacillus species, namely Bacillus subtilis (BS), Bacillus firmus (BF), and Bacillus coagulans (BC) was tested against the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica (Treub) Chitwood in eggplants (Solanum melongena L.). Plant growth and biochemical effects were also measured in these interactions.Methods
Bacillus species were inoculated in soil around the seedlings of eggplants (Solanum melongena L.) with and without nematodes in a greenhouse experiment. Plant growth, biochemical changes, and nematode parasitism were observed at 15 and 45 days after inoculation (DAI).Results
BC significantly enhanced plant growth, chlorophyll “b” and total chlorophyll contents, and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity in the leaves of eggplants, while BS showed greatest reduction in root-knot nematode parasitism. Non-infected and untreated control (C?) plants showed lesser chlorophyll “b,” carotenoids, soluble protein contents, and guaiacol peroxidase but higher catalase and PPO activities compared to infected and untreated controls (C+) at 15 and 45 DAI. Superoxide dismutase activity declined in most of the treated plants at 45 DAI following rise at 15 DAI. Ascorbate peroxidase activity increased at 45 DAI compared to 15 DAI in C? and C+ plants. PAL activity was greatly enhanced at 45 DAI in all treatments and controls over that at 15 DAI.Conclusions
BC is a potentially plant growth-promoting bacteria although it was less effective against nematode infection compared to BS. Enzymes activities varied with infection and DAI. BC at 15 DAI in general increased the activity of most of the stress enzymes and thereby overcoming the effect of nematode parasitism. 相似文献10.
The sites of activity of alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, esterase, peroxidase, adenosine triphosphatase, and cytochrome oxidase were demonstrated histochemically in fresh sections of ''Lee'' soybeans infected by the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita acrita. Each of the six enzymes was more active at the sites of infection than in adjacent non-infected tissue. During the early stages of infection, an increase in enzyme activity was observed in several cells in the proximity of the lip region of the nematode. However, when definite syncytia were observed, increased enzyme activity was confined primarily within the limits of the syncytium. Increased activity paralleled syncytial development and nematode maturation. 相似文献

The sensitivity of current diagnostics for Johne''s disease, a slow, progressing enteritis in ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), is too low to reliably detect all infected animals in the subclinical stage. The objective was to identify individual metabolites or metabolite profiles that could be used as biomarkers of early MAP infection in ruminants. In a monthly follow-up for 17 months, calves infected at 2 weeks of age were compared with aged-matched controls. Sera from all animals were analyzed by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. Spectra were acquired, processed, and quantified for analysis. The concentration of many metabolites changed over time in all calves, but some metabolites only changed over time in either infected or non-infected groups and the change in others was impacted by the infection. Hierarchical multivariate statistical analysis achieved best separation between groups between 300 and 400 days after infection. Therefore, a cross-sectional comparison between 1-year-old calves experimentally infected at various ages with either a high- or a low-dose and age-matched non-infected controls was performed. Orthogonal Projection to Latent Structures Discriminant Analysis (OPLS DA) yielded distinct separation of non-infected from infected cattle, regardless of dose and time (3, 6, 9 or 12 months) after infection. Receiver Operating Curves demonstrated that constructed models were high quality. Increased isobutyrate in the infected cattle was the most important agreement between the longitudinal and cross-sectional analysis. In general, high- and low-dose cattle responded similarly to infection. Differences in acetone, citrate, glycerol and iso-butyrate concentrations indicated energy shortages and increased fat metabolism in infected cattle, whereas changes in urea and several amino acids (AA), including the branched chain AA, indicated increased protein turnover. In conclusion, metabolomics was a sensitive method for detecting MAP infection much sooner than with current diagnostic methods, with individual metabolites significantly distinguishing infected from non-infected cattle. 相似文献

Greenhouse and field experiments were conducted to determine the effects of phenamiphos and/or alachlor on early growth of soybean, root morphology, and infection and resurgence of Heterodera glycines (race 1). All tests were planted to ''Ransom'' soybeans. In greenhouse experiments without nematodes, root growth was inhibited at 5 days by alachlor treatments and at 10 days by phenamiphos treatments; with nematodes, phenamiphos treatments enhanced root growth. Phenamiphos also suppressed early penetration of soybean roots by H. glycines in the greenhouse. Early soybean growth parameters among treatments were generally similar in the field. Nematode penetration was limited with treatments containing phenamiphos at one location. Plants treated with only alachlor had less nematode infection than did the control; however, plants treated with herbicide/nematicide combinations had more nematode penetration than did plants treated with phenamiphos alone. Alterations of root growth and interference with the efficacy of phenamiphos are two processes by which alachlor may enhance soybean susceptibility or suitability to H. glycines. 相似文献

More plants can be screened for reniform nematode resistance each year if the time involved can be shortened. In this study, the hypothesis that female counts are as efficient as egg counts in identifying resistant genotypes was tested. In two greenhouse experiments Gossypium genotypes which varied from resistant to susceptible to reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) were compared to a susceptible control cultivar. Infested field soil served as the inoculum source for the first experiment, and vermiform stages extracted from greenhouse cultures were used to infest soil in the second experiment. Six replicates of each genotype were harvested 25 d after planting and swollen females were counted. The remaining plants were harvested 35 d after planting and eggs extracted from the roots were counted. Processing and counting times recorded in the first experiment were similar for both assessment methods, but 10 additional days were required for egg-based assessment. Contrast analyses showed that assessments based on females per gram of root were equivalent to assessments based on eggs per gram of root for the five genotypes tested in the first experiment and for an expanded set of 13 genotypes tested in the second experiment. The results indicated that either life stage can be used to screen for resistance. 相似文献

A preliminary study on the responses of different goat genotypes to experimental haemonchosis was assessed in 48 castrated 6-months old Boer, Xhosa-Boer, Nguni and Xhosa goats randomly assigned to four balanced groups: non-infected and non-supplemented (NINS); infected, non-supplemented (INS); infected, supplemented (IS) and non-infected, supplemented (NIS). Each goat in the infected groups received a dose of 7200 L3 H. contortus larvae and kept for 90 days. Of the infected groups, the IS Xhosa goats had the lowest faecal larval counts (FLC) and maintained the highest PCV values throughout the study. The INS Xhosa and Nguni goats maintained body weight, but INS Boer goats lost body weight markedly. In all the treatments, the Xhosa goats also maintained high PCV values throughout the study. In conclusion, the Xhosa and Nguni genotypes performed better in terms of tolerance to haemonchosis. With protein supplementation, the Xhosa and Nguni genotypes also appeared to be much more capable of increasing PCV and eosinophil counts as worm counts increased, unlike the Boer and Xhosa-Boer genotypes. 相似文献

The effects of four waste residues from castor (Ricinus communis L.), rocket (Eruca sativa Mill.), linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) and wheat germ (Triticum aestivum L.) crops oil extraction as soil amendments at three rates (on base lower rate, recommended rate and higher rate), in comparison with the nematicide Nemacur 10% G were evaluated in greenhouse conditions (25 ± 5°C) at the National Research Center, Egypt, during two successive seasons on the physiological influence on the eggplant and on the infection by the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita. All the tested treatments significantly reduced the numbers of juveniles in soil or in roots, number of galls, egg-masses, gall and egg-mass indices and the rate of nematode build-up. Significant differences in the nematode stages were found within and between treatments. The percentage reduction in the nematode stages was greater with the use of wheat germ mill residues (WGMR) compound followed by castor seed mill residues (CAMR) compound, rocket seed mill residues (RSMR) and Nemacur 10% G. The application of linseed mill residues (LSMR) was the least effective in reducing the nematode stages. Regarding infected plants, all the evaluated amendments achieved significant increases in the almost shoot and root growth variables, total contents of photosynthetic pigments, phenolics and carbohydrates when compared with nematode inoculated and untreated plants. As for healthy plants, it is clear that all the doses of WGMR compound and the highest doses (3.75%, w/w) of the other additives had pronounced effect on the growth parameters and phenolic content of dry leaves of the eggplant. In addition, all the treatments increased photosynthetic pigments and carbohydrates content of the eggplant. These results indicate that some seed mill residues may be used as natural nematicides in controlling M. incognita nematode and improving the growth and some chemical composition of the eggplant. 相似文献

A greenhouse experiment was carried-out to evaluate the effect of three rates of salinity as abiotic stress on okra plants (Abelmoschus esculentus) infected with the root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) as biotic stress. Plant lengths and weights were significantly (p?≤?0.05) reduced except root weight and there was a positive correlation between increasing the salinity concentration from 0.1 to 0.3% and increasing the rate of reduction in plant criteria. The number of J2 in soil, galls, and eggmasses were decreased linked to increased salinity rate as compared to nematode control treatment. However, peroxidase and catalase activities were significantly reduced linked to increasing the salinity concentration from 0.1 to 0.3%. There was no significant difference between total phenols at all treatments. Meanwhile, there was no significant improvement in N, P, and K contents whereas photosynthetic pigments (a, b) and carotene were significantly (p?≤?0.05) reduced by nematode infection and increasing the salinity rate from 0.1 to 0.3%. 相似文献

Five different organs from 16 asymptomatic free-ranging marsupial macropods (Macropus rufus, M. fuliginosus, and M. robustus) from inland Western Australia were tested for infection with Toxoplasma gondii by multi-locus PCR-DNA sequencing. All macropods were infected with T. gondii, and 13 had parasite DNA in at least 2 organs. In total, 45 distinct T. gondii genotypes were detected. Fourteen of the 16 macropods were multiply infected with genetically distinct T. gondii genotypes that often partitioned between different organs. The presence of multiple T. gondii infections in macropods suggests that native mammals have the potential to promote regular cycles of sexual reproduction in the definitive felid host in this environment. 相似文献
