福建漳州是我国出口创汇植物盆栽榕树Ficus microcarpa的重要生产基地,近些年来炭疽病发生严重。为明确该病的病原菌种类,本文从福建漳州盆栽榕树栽培基地采集炭疽病病叶,通过对病原菌的分离、纯化和培养,致病性测定及rDNA-ITS和actin（肌动蛋白）基因序列分析,证明该病菌为盘长孢状刺盘孢菌Colletotrichum gloeosporioides。这是盘长孢状刺盘孢菌所致盆栽榕树炭疽病在国内的首次报道。     

广东省柑橘炭疽病病原菌的形态与分子鉴定

炭疽病是柑橘的主要真菌性病害之一。2007年春,广东省德庆县名优柑橘品种贡柑炭疽病暴发流行。为了明确该县及广东省其他地区柑橘炭疽病菌的种类,为防治提供依据,对采集自广东省6个地区柑橘属10个栽培品种上的炭疽病样本进行病原菌分离,共获得柑橘炭疽病菌单孢菌株75株,对其中10株代表性的菌株进行了种类鉴定。通过培养性状和形态学特征观测、核糖体DNA(rDNA)内转录间区(ITS)序列分析、ITS区特异性引物PCR检测和系统发育关系比较等方面的研究,结果表明:10个柑橘炭疽病菌菌株均为盘长孢状刺盘孢Colletotrichum gloeosporioides,未发现国际上其他国家报道的严重危害柑橘花器和幼果部位的柑橘花后落果病病原菌——尖刺盘孢C.acutatum。     

抗辣椒炭疽病菌盘长孢状刺盘孢的木霉菌的筛选

本试验通过对峙培养法筛选出28株具有强拮抗能力和15株中等拮抗能力的木霉菌。使用玻璃纸培养法进一步复筛出6株木霉菌(104、393、424、402、451和123T),其非挥发性次生代谢产物对盘长孢状刺盘孢的抑制率高达92%以上。通过平板对扣培养法发现木霉菌424(Trichoderma atroviride)以及123T (T. paratroviride)的挥发性次生代谢产物对盘长孢状刺盘孢也具有抑制作用,抑制率分别为57.12%和60.43%。试验还对9个辣椒品种进行了盘长孢状刺盘孢的果实致病性评价,发现红尖椒属于高度易感病品种。在对该品种进行针尖刺伤法处理后,喷施木霉菌424和123T的分生孢子悬浮液后可以提高其对病菌的抗性。此外,试验还发现上述2株木霉菌的孢子悬浮液对辣椒种子萌发及幼苗生长具有促进作用,其将辣椒种子的发芽率由38.9%提高至70.0%。同时,辣椒幼苗经木霉菌分生孢子处理后,株高、根长、茎粗、鲜重和干重分别增加了52.5%、96.0%、104.0%、372.0%和224.0%。综上所述,本试验筛选的木霉菌424和123T能够充分发挥其生防能力,为进一步开发辣椒炭...     

果生刺盘孢CfHAC1调控应答二硫苏糖醇胁迫的转录组分析

果生刺盘孢Colletotrichum fructicola是油茶炭疽病优势病原菌。前期研究发现bZIP转录因子CfHac1参与调控该菌的生长发育和致病性。为了揭示转录因子CfHac1调控果生刺盘孢响应内质网压力和致病机理,本研究测定了ΔCfhac1突变体对内质网压力胁迫剂的敏感性,发现突变体对二硫苏糖醇（dithiothreitol,DTT）的耐受性下降,说明CfHAC1基因可能参与调控果生刺盘孢响应内质网压力胁迫过程。进一步利用高通量RNA-seq技术对该病菌野生型菌株和CfHAC1敲除突变体菌株在DTT胁迫下的转录组进行了比较分析,结果表明差异表达基因共有2 680个,其中上调表达基因有1 181个,下调表达基因有1 499个。Gene Ontology 功能分析结果显示,差异表达基因主要参与催化活性、结合、代谢过程、细胞过程、细胞成分合成、生物过程调控和应激反应等生物学过程。KEGG功能富集分析表明,上调表达基因主要被富集到核糖体、真核细胞的核糖体生物合成、RNA转运和氰基氨基酸代谢通路中;下调表达基因显著富集在内质网蛋白质加工、N-聚糖生物合成、类固醇合成和蛋白质分泌等通路中。分析发现转录因子CfHac1调控内质网胁迫应答和致病相关基因的表达。本研究提供了在全基因组水平上对CfHAC1基因与内质网压力胁迫应答之间关联的新认识,为阐明果生刺盘孢响应内质网压力胁迫和致病机制奠定了基础。

西瓜炭疽病菌圆刺盘孢分生孢子产生条件的研究

为研究圆刺盘孢Colletotrichum orbiculare的分生孢子产生条件,通过改变培养基的成分、理化性状及培养条件等方法,进行了诱导产孢试验,并对所产生的分生孢子量进行测定。结果表明,C.orbiculare在西瓜茎叶煎汁培养基上25℃恒温黑暗培养30d可产生大量分生孢子,产孢量高达7.15×109个/m L。在显微镜下观察发现,病菌在西瓜茎叶煎汁培养基上和在西瓜茎秆病斑上产生的分生孢子在形态上存在差异,前者产生的分生孢子稍短和略宽,两端钝圆;而后者产生的分生孢子相对长而细,两端较尖。试验证明寄主西瓜茎叶成分对病菌分生孢子的产生具有明显促进作用。

基于Cfku70基因失活策略构建果生刺盘孢的高效基因敲除底盘菌株

果生刺盘孢侵染危害多种植物,是重要的植物病原真菌。在一些丝状真菌中,敲除非同源末端连接修复通路的关键基因ku70或ku80可显著提高同源重组效率,进而提高靶基因置换频率。本研究从果生刺盘孢基因组鉴定到Cfku70和Cfku80两个基因,并明确了基因失活对菌株生物学表型和基因敲除效率的影响。敲除Cfku70或Cfku80不影响菌株的菌落形态、营养生长、产孢、分生孢子萌发、侵染结构发育和致病;Cfku70基因敲除还大幅提升3个测试基因的敲除效率。本研究证实Cfku70基因失活能显著提高果生刺盘孢的基因敲除效率,适宜作为高效基因敲除的底盘菌株,研究结果为通过批量敲除策略筛选新型致病因子奠定重要基础。     

bZIP转录因子CfHac1参与调控果生刺盘孢菌的生长发育和致病力

油茶炭疽病是油茶Camellia oleifera上最重要病害之一,引起该病害的主要致病菌为果生刺盘孢菌Colletotrichum fructicola。本研究以果生刺盘孢菌bZIP类转录因子CfHac1为研究对象,研究其在果生刺盘孢菌的营养生长、产孢量、附着胞形成、致病力及耐受性等方面的生物学功能,为油茶炭疽病的防控提供理论依据。研究结果表明,果生刺盘孢菌中具有一个与灰色大角间座壳（稻瘟菌）bZIP转录因子MoHac1直系同源的基因,命名为CfHAC1。该基因全长1 627bp,编码526个氨基酸,该蛋白含有一个碱性亮氨酸链（bZIP）结构域和3个未知功能结构域。CfHAC1基因敲除突变体的菌丝生长速度显著变慢,分生孢子产量显著减少且不能正常形成附着胞,并对山梨糖醇和KCl渗透压胁迫敏感性增加;致病力测试结果表明,果生刺盘孢菌基因敲除突变体ΔCfhac1对油茶的致病力显著下降。转录因子CfHac1参与调控果生刺盘孢菌的生长、产孢、附着胞的形成、致病力以及响应外界渗透压胁迫过程。     

组蛋白去乙酰化酶CfSnt2调控果生刺盘孢生长发育和致病力

炭疽病是油茶Camellia oleifera的重要病害,该病害的优势致病菌是刺盘孢属Colletotrichum的果生刺盘孢C. fructicola,在全国的油茶产区普遍发生。我们前期发现组蛋白乙酰转移酶CfGcn5调控油茶果生刺盘孢的生长发育和致病过程,但组蛋白去乙酰化酶在该病菌中的生物学功能尚不清楚。本研究以组蛋白去乙酰化酶CfSnt2为研究对象,利用反向遗传学的方法,通过对野生型、CfSNT2基因敲除突变体及互补菌株的生物学表型进行比较分析,发现CfSNT2基因敲除突变体的菌丝生长速率明显减缓、分生孢子的产量显著减少、附着胞形成率降低、对细胞壁胁迫剂的响应异常,同时对油茶致病力显著减弱。以上现象说明CfSnt2调控果生刺盘孢的生长、产孢、附着胞的形成、对细胞壁完整性胁迫剂的耐受性及致病力。

First report of anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides on Boehravia diffusa in India

Leaf spot symptoms were observed on the leaves of Boehravia diffusa L. plants from different regions of Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, India. The symptoms initially appeared as a small light-pale coloured, circular spots enlarge gradually and ultimately leading to drying of the leaves. The disease was found to be caused by a fungus. The fungus was cultured on potato dextrose agar medium and identified as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. According to the literature, this is thefirst report of anthracnose disease of B. diffusa caused by C. gloeosporioides in India.

胶孢炭疽菌(Colletotrichumgloeosporioides)为一种丝状真菌,蓝光照射可诱导类胡萝卜素的积累。光镜下观察表明,蓝光可诱导胶孢炭疽菌菌丝积累色素颗粒,而黑暗和红光处理却无此现象。类胡萝卜素的积累受蓝光光照强度的影响。28℃且蓝光为6.5μmol.m-2.s-1时,类胡萝卜素积累量可随光照时间延长呈增长趋势,在第5天达到最高峰为71.8μg/g FW,随后含量下降。此外,胶孢炭疽菌在黑暗中预培养的时间也影响蓝光的诱导反应。

First Report of Anthracnose Disease on Jatropha curcas Caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in Korea

In the summers of 2010 and 2011, an anthracnose disease was observed on the Jatropha curcas L. grown at the research field of Gyeongsangnam‐do Agricultural Research and Extension Services, South Korea. The symptoms included the appearance of dark brown spots on the leaf and fruit and the mummification of the fruit. The causal fungus formed grey to dark grey colony on potato dextrose agar. Conidia were single celled, ovoid or oblong, and 8–15 × 3–5 μm in size while seta was dark brown, cone‐shaped and 25–46 × 2–6 μm in size. The optimum temperature for growth was approximately 30°C. On the basis of mycological characteristics, pathogenicity test and molecular identification using internal transcribed spacer rDNA sequence, the fungus was identified as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an anthracnose caused by C. gloeosporioides on J. curcas plant in Korea.     

Screening for inhibitory activities of essential oils on the growth of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. & Sacc., the causal agent of leaf spot disease of Murraya koenigii L.

Seven essential oils namely clove, cedar wood, lemongrass, peppermint, eucalyptus, citronella and neem oils were tested for their inhibitory effect on spore germination, growth of germ tube and mycelial growth of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides isolated from diseased Murraya koenigii. All essential oils inhibited the germination and growth of germ tube at different concentrations. However, significant reduction in colony growth was observed with citrus, lemongrass and peppermint oils at 1000, 1500 and 2000 ppm concentrations, respectively. Citrus oil at 1360 ppm inhibited the maximum growth of the fungus followed by lemongrass oil at 1720 ppm and peppermint at 2260 ppm, respectively. The effect of essential oils on mycelial dry weight also showed antifungal activity on the growth of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The study revealed the possible utilisation of these essential oils for foliar spray for the management of leaf spot disease of Murraya koenigii.     

Purification and characterization of an endochitinase produced by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides

The phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was analyzed for chitinase activity, the best production occurring at the fourth day. A 43 kDa endochitinase with specific activity of 413 U microg(-1) protein was purified corresponding to a 75% yield. The optima of temperature and pH for the enzyme were 50 degrees C and pH 7.0, respectively. The enzyme showed a high stability at 50 degrees C and pH 7.0. Values of pH from 5.0 up to 7.0 gave, at least, 50% of maximum activity, suggesting a biotechnological application. Further studies are in progress to determine the possible use of this endochitinase in biological control.     

Vegetative Compatibility Among Isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides from Yam (Dioscorea spp.) in Nigeria

Isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides obtained from yam‐based cropping systems in Nigeria, previously characterized on the basis of morphology, virulence and rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence variation were further compared for vegetative compatibility (VC). Chlorate‐resistant nitrate non‐utilizing (nit) mutants were generated from the isolates and used in complementation (heterokaryon) tests. Tests of VC between complementary mutants from different isolates indicated the presence of several genotypes within a single field, suggesting limited clonal spread. In some cases, isolates obtained from the same lesion were observed to belong to different vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs). No compatibility was observed between isolates of the highly virulent slow‐growing grey (SGG), the moderately virulent fast‐growing salmon (FGS) and the avirulent/weakly virulent fast‐growing grey (FGG) strains. Forty‐one C. gloeosporioides isolates belonged to 28 VCGs, giving a genotype diversity estimate of 0.68. This diversity confirmed the high variability of the pathogen population as revealed by previous characterization studies, however, a correlation between VCGs and isolate groupings based on morphology and virulence was not found. The finding that an isolate from weed was compatible with yam isolates indicated that transfer of important traits, such as virulence, may take place between isolates from yam and non‐yam hosts. The VCG diversity revealed by this study suggests that in addition to asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction may play an important role in the epidemiology of anthracnose on yam.
