梨黑星菌粗毒素对抗病和感病梨离体叶片生理特性的影响

以不同抗病性梨品种为材料,研究了梨黑星菌粗毒素对梨离体叶片的过氧化物酶(POD)活性、苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)活性、丙二醛(MDA)含量、细胞膜相对透性以及叶绿素含量变化的影响.研究表明,毒素接种后抗病和感病品种叶片的POD和PAL活性、MDA含量和相对电导率均呈上升趋势,其间会有1个或2个峰值出现,且抗病品种叶片的POD和PAL活性高于感病品种,而细胞内MDA含量和相对电导率增加比率低于感病品种;同时,毒素使梨离体叶片的叶绿素、类胡萝卜素含量下降,且感病品种的下降幅度大于抗病品种.总之,梨离体叶片POD和PAL的活性变化与梨品种抗病性呈正相关,叶片MDA含量和相对电导率变化与梨品种抗病性呈负相关,抗病品种离体叶片对毒素的毒害有更强的抵抗力.

小麦与条锈菌互作中过氧化物酶的细胞化学研究

采用细胞化学方法对小麦与条锈菌互作过程中过氧化物酶的分布及其活性大小进行了研究,结果表明：过氧化物酶主要分布于细胞壁和细胞间隙中;在未行接种的小麦叶片中,抗病品种和感病品种的过氧化物酶活性均比较低;条锈菌侵染后,诱导抗、感病品种叶片中的过氧化物酶活性升高,且抗病品种升高的幅度明显大于感病品种;感病品种中过氧化物酶活性在侵染位点附近细胞壁上表现升高,而抗病品种中该酶的活性在侵染点细胞以及远离侵染点的叶肉细胞的细胞壁和细胞间隙中均显著升高。高活性的过氧化物酶是小麦抗条锈性的生化标记和重要机制之一。

Characteristics of common wheat cultivars of West Siberia carrying the wheat-rye 1RS.1BL translocation

Using genomic in situ hybidization, among the common wheat cultivars produced in West Siberia (Siberian Research Institute of Agriculture, Omsk) with the involvement of the winter wheat cultivar Kavkaz carrying the wheat-rye 1RS.1BL translocation we identified three cultivars with this translocation: Omskaya 29, Omskaya 37, and Omskaya 38. The protein and crude gluten contents in the grain of these cultivars are equal to or exceed the levels observed in cultivars without the wheat-rye translocation. The common wheat cultivars carrying the wheat-rye translocation were evaluated in terms of resistance of plants reaching wax ripeness to leaf rust and powdery mildew in the natural field conditions. The cultivars Omskaya 37 and Omskaya 38 displayed a high field resistance to leaf rust and were resistant to a variable extent to powdery mildew. The cultivar Omskaya 29 was susceptible to leaf rust and powdery mildew pathogens. Importance of the selection direction and the role of the genetic background in developing common wheat cultivars carrying the wheat-rye translocation is discussed.

The wheat crop remains vulnerable to all three rust diseases (leaf rust, stem rust and yellow rust) caused by Puccinia spp. according to the prevalence of the pathogen in different wheat-growing areas worldwide. Stripe rust or yellow rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici is the most significant rust pathogen which prefers cool, moist areas and highlands. The pathogen is recognised as responsible for huge production losses in wheat. Genetic variation in pathogen makes its control difficult. Therefore, resistance against all the races of the pathogen known as durable or race-non-specific resistance is preferred. The present study was carried out to identify durable resistance against stripe rust in selected wheat cultivars from Pakistan through seedling testing, field evaluation at adult stage, morphological marker studies and marker-assisted selection. Results revealed that 4% of the cultivars were resistant at the seedling stage while the rest were susceptible or intermediate. To confirm their field resistance, the same cultivars were evaluated under field conditions at Cereal Crops Research Institute Pirsabak (located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, KP) a hot spot of stripe rust in Pakistan. Observations exhibited that at the adult stage 4% of the cultivars were resistant, 70% intermediate or moderately resistant while the others were highly susceptible. Leaf tip necrosis was observed in 30% of the cultivars. Wheat cultivars showing susceptibility at the seedling stage were highly to moderately resistant at adult stage showing durable resistance. For further validation, morphological markers were also observed in cultivars indicating the presence of Yr18/Lr34 gene. Eleven cultivars (C-518, Mexipak, Kohinoor-83, Faisalabad-83, Zardana-93, Shahkar-95, Moomal-2002, Wattan-94, Pasban-90, Kiran-95, and Haider-2000) were identified, having durable or race non-specific resistance against stripe rust. These cultivars can further be utilised in wheat breeding programmes for deploying durable resistance to attain long lasting control against stripe rust.     

Production of Host‐selective SV‐toxins by Stemphylium sp. Causing Brown Spot of European Pear in Japan

Recently, a new disease known as ‘brown spot of European pear’ caused by Stemphylium sp. appeared on the leaves, twigs and fruits of the cultivar Le Lectier in Niigata Prefecture, Japan. Because Stemphylium vesicarium (teleomorph: Pleospora allii), which causes a similar disease in Europe, has been shown to produce host‐selective SV‐toxins in culture filtrates (CFs), SV‐toxin production by Stemphylium sp. in Japan was investigated. In pathogenicity tests, the pathogen induced severe necrotic spots on the leaves of the European pear cultivar Le Lectier, slight spots on cultivar La France and slight or no spots on cultivar Bartlett. The Japanese pear cultivar Nijisseiki was not affected by the pathogen. Culture filtrates of the pathogen were tested for phytotoxicity on cultivars by a leaf necrosis assay. The sensitivity of cultivars to the CFs was consistent with the susceptibility of cultivars to the pathogen infection, indicating the presence of host‐selective toxins. The toxins were purified from the CFs according to the procedure reported for SV‐toxin purification in S. vesicarium. The results indicated that Stemphylium sp. in Japan produces the same SV‐toxins as S. vesicarium in Europe.     

Effects of Aphis fabae and Uromyces viciae-favae on the growth of a susceptible and an aphid resistant cultivar of Vicia faba

Damaging effects of either black bean aphid (Aphis fabae), broad bean rust (Uromyces viciae-fabae), or the combination of both were investigated on a susceptible (cv. Diana) and an aphid resistant (cv. Bolero) cultivar of Vicia faba. When compared with rust, aphids caused greater reductions of root dry weight, shoot dry weight, leaf area, and mean relative growth rate. The mean unit leaf rate was also reduced whereas the leaf area ratio was not affected. The damage caused per aphid was highest on the susceptible cultivar. Rust induced damage did not differ between the cultivars. Concomitant infestation with both pests only resulted in additive damage. The population development of aphids was delayed on partially resistant plants. High temperature and rust infection reduced the total number of aphids the plants were able to support but not the level of resistance. Thus the specific damaging effect per aphid was increased.     

Correlation between population size of pear Psylla (Cacopsylla chinensis) and leaf structure features in different pear cultivars

The feeding preference of pear psylla (Cacopsylla chinensis) varies among pear cultivars. To clarify whether leaf structural factors are related to C. chinensis resistance, eleven pear cultivars of three pear species and their hybrids in China were studied. The population size of C. chinensis in plots of different cultivars was investigated, and leaf paraffin sections of each pear cultivar were observed. Correlation analysis results showed that the thickness of palisade tissue (PT) and the thickness ratio (TR) of PT to leaf (L) were the main factors influencing resistance to C. chinensis. The leaves of cultivar Wujiuxiang and those species from France and the USA exhibited the thickest PT and the highest TR; these three cultivars demonstrated much higher resistance to C. chinensis than did the other cultivars. The cultivar Gold Nijisseiki, with a large C. chinensis population size, showed low PT and TR. The findings of this study may provide valuable information to pear growers, experts and scientists regarding plant protection, cultivation and breeding when selecting suitable varieties to culture from the perspective of pest control.     

Haplotype structure around Bru1 reveals a narrow genetic basis for brown rust resistance in modern sugarcane cultivars

Modern sugarcane cultivars (Saccharum spp., 2n?=?100-130) are high polyploid, aneuploid and of interspecific origin. A major gene (Bru1) conferring resistance to brown rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia melanocephala, has been identified in cultivar R570. We analyzed 380 modern cultivars and breeding materials covering the worldwide diversity with 22 molecular markers genetically linked to Bru1 in R570 within a 8.2?cM segment. Our results revealed a strong LD in the Bru1 region and strong associations between most of the markers and rust resistance. Two PCR markers, that flank the Bru1-bearing segment, were found completely associated with one another and only in resistant clones representing efficient molecular diagnostic for Bru1. On this basis, Bru1 was inferred in 86?% of the 194 resistant sugarcane accessions, revealing that it constitutes the main source of brown rust resistance in modern cultivars. Bru1 PCR diagnostic markers should be particularly useful to identify cultivars with potentially alternative sources of resistance to diversify the basis of brown rust resistance in breeding programs.
