QTL identification and microphenotype characterisation of the developmentally regulated yellow rust resistance in the UK wheat cultivar Guardian

Yellow rust (causal agent: Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici) resistance in the UK wheat cultivar Guardian is developmentally regulated, resistance increasing as the plant matures. Yellow rust resistance was assessed under field conditions on plants after ear emergence to ensure maximum expression of resistance. Three quantitative trait loci (QTL) for yellow rust resistance were identified, being located on chromosomes 1B (QPst.jic-1B), 2D (QPst.jic-2D) and 4B (QPst.jic-4B). The largest resistance effect, QPst.jic-1B located to the same position on the long arm of chromosome 1B as the known durable source of yellow rust resistance, Yr29. Microscopic studies were carried out to determine what effect the resistance in Guardian had on the development of P. striiformis f.sp. tritici. While the adult plant resistance in Guardian did not prevent germinated urediniospores from establishing an effective infection site, the growth of hyphae within flag leaf tissue was significantly inhibited, slowing the development of microcolonies. 3,3-diaminabenzadine (DAB) and trypan blue staining indicated that this inhibition of hyphal growth was not associated with hydrogen peroxide accumulation or extensive plant cell death.     

陇南地区不同海拔区域内小麦条锈菌群体遗传多样性的分析

小麦条锈病是世界范围内小麦上最重要的流行性病害之一,可造成严重的产量损失。陇南地区是我国小麦条锈菌主要越夏易变区和新小种发源地,了解该地区不同海拔高度区域内条锈菌遗传多样性有重要意义。本研究采用TP-M13-SSR荧光标记技术对11个种群330个小麦条锈菌分离株基因组DNA进行了SSR标记分析。不同海拔区域的条锈菌遗传多样性有明显的差异,高山区的遗传多样性比较丰富,半山区次之,川道区相对比较低。不同生态区域内,小麦条锈菌群体遗传分化程度不同,高山区和半山区遗传分化程度大,基因流小,川道区群体遗传分化程度比较小,基因流大。来自不同海拔区域的菌系具有相同的基因型,这一结果从分子水平证明了在陇南地区小麦条锈菌在山区与川地之间存在广泛的菌源交流,可就地完成周年循环。

中国小麦条锈菌转主寄主小檗的鉴定

用萌发的小麦条锈菌冬孢子接种采自陕西省境内的陕西小檗、少齿小檗和长穗小檗,3种小檗均产生了性孢子器和锈孢子器。用人工接种小麦条锈菌冬孢子在陕西小檗上产生的锈孢子器接种小麦铭贤169产生了典型的条锈菌夏孢子堆症状。特异性PCR和DNA序列分析表明,人工接种产生于小檗上的锈孢子、接种锈孢子于小麦上产生的夏孢子堆与小麦条锈菌DNA的ITS区序列完全一致。更为重要的是,用采自田间受锈菌侵染的小檗叶片产生的锈孢子接种小麦铭贤169,经培养在小麦铭贤169叶片上产生了典型的条锈病症状。从而证实,在自然条件下,在中国,小檗不仅可作为小麦条锈菌的转主寄主,而且小麦条锈菌可在小檗上完成其有性繁殖过程。这一发现对进一步揭示我国小麦条锈菌高度的群体遗传多样性与毒性变异机理、完善小麦条锈病的防治策略具有十分重要的理论和实际意义。     

Detection of Puccinia striiformis in Latently Infected Wheat Leaves by Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction

Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici ( Pst ), is one of the most devastating wheat diseases worldwide, especially in temperate regions with cool moist weather conditions. The identification of the pathogen in infected plants based on morphological or physiological criteria before sporulation is labour-intensive and time-consuming. To accelerate and simplify the process of detection, a nested Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assay was developed for specific and sensitive detection of Pst . Specific primers Psta-Psts were designed according to a genome-specific sequence of Pst . In nested PCR, with a 10-fold dilution series of template DNA, the detection limit was 2 pg DNA in the first PCR with the primers Psta-Psts. The second round PCR was then performed using amplified products from the first PCR as the template and Nesta-Nests as the primers. An amplification signal was detectable even when only 2 fg of P. striiformis f. sp. tritici DNA was used as the template in nested PCR. With nested PCR, the sensitivity of detection was enhanced 1000 fold. Using extracts from stripe rust-infected wheat leaves, the fungus could be determined in the leaves before symptom appearance. The assay provides a rapid and sensitive method for detection of P. striiformis f. sp. tritici in latently infected leaves of overwintering wheat plants.

条形柄锈菌小麦专化型脂肪酶基因PsLIP1的酶学性质分析

脂肪作为条形柄锈菌小麦专化型夏孢子萌发及侵染初期的主要营养物质,酶解产物通过乙醛酸循环转化为糖类成分供病菌生长发育所需。脂肪酶是脂肪代谢的关键酶。基于已测序的基因组序列,利用RT-PCR方法克隆了该病菌脂肪酶基因PsLIP1序列（1 302bp）,编码433个氨基酸的蛋白。在毕赤酵母细胞（GS115）中成功表达PsLIP1后,酶学活性分析显示其最适pH为8.0,最适温度为60℃,此外,发现Zn²⁺、Cu²⁺和Ca²⁺对脂肪酶PsLIP1活力有一定激活作用,Fe²⁺、Mn²⁺则对酶活力有抑制作用。研究结果为进一步解析脂肪酶作用机理奠定基础,同时也为从能量代谢角度制定小麦条锈病防控策略提供理论依据。     

Spore traps network: a new tool for predicting epidemics of wheat yellow rust

A network of Burkard 7-day spore-recording traps was set up in the Walloon Region in Belgium to monitor the airborne inoculum of wheat pathogens. The relationship between the airborne inoculum of Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici, the causal agent of stripe rust, and the disease incidence on plants in untreated plots located near each spore traps was studied during the 2008-2009 season. The presence of airborne inoculum was tested in four locations on tapes collected from the Burkard spore traps from 1 April to 14 June 2009. Total DNA from each fragment of spore trap tape corresponding to 1 day sampling was extracted. P. striiformis f.sp. tritici was quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay using specific primers and SYBRGreen. The airborne inoculum of P. striiformis was first detected between 7 and 13 April 2009, depending on the location in the Walloon Region. The first symptoms of stripe rust were observed in the fields between 15 May and 2 June 2009. The onset of the disease symptoms was always preceded by a higher peak of airborne inoculum about 15 days earlier. When P. striiformis f.sp. tritici was detected, the daily quantities of spores, collected from a volume of air of 14.4 m3, fluctuated between 0.23 and 154.66. This study shows that spore traps coupled with real-time PCR could be used to assess the airborne inoculum of P. striiformis in order to understand and predict stripe rust outbreaks.     

Resistance gene analogs within an introgressed chromosomal segment derived from Triticum ventricosum that confers resistance to nematode and rust pathogens in wheat

A resistance (R) gene-rich 2S chromosomal segment from Triticum ventricosum contains a cereal cyst nematode (CCN; Heterodera avenae) R gene locus CreX and a closely linked group of genes (Sr38, Yr17, and Lr37) that confer resistance to stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici), stripe rust (P. striiformis f. sp. tritici), and leaf rust (P. recondita f. sp. tritici) when introgressed into wheat. The 2S chromosomal segment from T. ventricosum is further delineated in translocations onto chromosome 2A of bread wheat, where the rust genes are retained but not the CreX gene. Using these critical genetic stocks, we have isolated family members of R gene analogs that are associated with either the 2S segment from T. ventricosum carrying the CreX locus or the rust genes. Derivatives of the Cre3 candidate R gene sequence and a rice (Oryza sativa) R gene analog that mapped to the 2S homologous chromosome groups in wheat were used to isolate related gene sequences from T. ventricosum that contain a nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat domain. The potential of these gene sequences as entry points for isolating candidate genes or gene family members of the CreX or rust genes and their further applications to plant breeding are discussed.     

小麦抗条锈病近等基因系感染条锈病后丁布含量变化

选用2套遗传背景不同的抗条锈病近等基因系作为供试寄主材料,研究了不同抗条锈病近等基因系丁布的含量及其在感病过程中丁布含量的动态变化.结果表明,在未受病菌侵染情况下,2套分别含有Yr2、Yr9和YrSpP基因的近等基因系（抗病系）与其轮回亲本Taichung 29、铭贤169(感病系)间丁布含量没有显著差异（P＞0.05）.接种条锈病菌后,感病系在病菌侵染初期丁布含量下降,而抗病系在病菌侵染初期丁布含量迅速大幅度上升.感染条锈病最终导致感病植株丁布含量比未接种的植株明显减少, 感病系的减少幅度明显高于抗病系.在整个病程中,抗病系丁布的含量始终高于感病系,表明接种条件下小麦植株体内丁布含量变化与小麦抗条锈近等基因系的抗性有关.     

A mutagenesis-derived broad-spectrum disease resistance locus in wheat

Wheat leaf rust, stem rust, stripe rust, and powdery mildew caused by the fungal pathogens Puccinia triticina, P. graminis f. sp. tritici, P. striiformis f. sp. tritici, and Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, respectively, are destructive diseases of wheat worldwide. Breeding durable disease resistance cultivars rely largely on continually introgressing new resistance genes, especially the genes with different defense mechanisms, into adapted varieties. Here, we describe a new resistance gene obtained by mutagenesis. The mutant, MNR220 (mutagenesis-derived new resistance), enhances resistance to three rusts and powdery mildew, with the characteristics of delayed disease development at the seedling stage and completed resistance at the adult plant stage. Genetic analysis demonstrated that the resistance in MNR220 is conferred by a single semidominant gene mapped on the short arm of chromosome 2B. Gene expression profiling of several pathogenesis-related genes indicated that MNR220 has an elevated and rapid pathogen-induced response. In addition to its potential use in breeding for resistance to multiple diseases, high-resolution mapping and cloning of the disease resistance locus in MNR220 may lead to a better understanding of the regulation of defense responses in wheat.     

Detection of fungal spores using a generic surface plasmon resonance immunoassay

This paper describes a biosensor-based method for detection of fungal spores using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The approach involves the use of a mouse monoclonal antibody (Pst mAb8) and a SPR sensor for label-free detection of urediniospores from the model organism Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici (Pst). In the subtractive inhibition assay, urediniospores and Pst mAb8 were mixed, urediniospore-bound Pst mAb8 removed by centrifugation and the remaining Pst mAb8 quantified using the SPR sensor. Assay conditions were optimised and a detection limit of 3.1 x 10(5)urediniospores/ml was achieved. Spiked Pst samples were further examined in a background of a related spore and it was found that Pst detection was possible in this mixture. This study represent the first use of SPR technology for fungal spore detection as well as the first report of a successful biosensor-based detection strategy for Pst.     

Dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton,hyphal tip growth and the movement of the two nuclei in the dikaryon ofCoprinus cinereus

We first examined the changes in distribution of F-actin during conjugate division in the apical cells of the dikaryon ofCoprinus cinereus using indirect immunofluorescence microscopy, then followed hyphal tip growth and the movement of the two nuclei in the apical cells using differential interference contrast microscopy (DIC). In apical cells with interphase nuclei, F-actin occurred solely as peripheral plaques, which were distributed along the whole length of the cell and were more concentrated at the tips, where they formed caps. In the early prophase of conjugate division, F-actin was transiently concentrated, as diffused form and plaques, at hyphal regions where the two nuclei sit, and this was accompanied by transient disappearance of the actin cap at the hyphal tip in the majority of cells. The actin cap was also present at the tips of growing clamp cells from late prophase through metaphase and disintegrated during anaphase. In telophase, actin rings formed at the future septa. DIC revealed that, in early prophase, when the F-actin array occurs around the two nuclei and the actin cap is absent at hyphal tips, hyphae kept growing and the second nucleus accelerated its forward movement to catch up with the leading nucleus, which was still moving forward.     

The Expression of Partial Resistance to Puccinia striiformis in Wheat. Effects on Colony Growth and Spore Production

Abstract The resistance of wheat to Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici was investigated. The durable resistance of Hybride de Bersée and that resistance controlled by the factor YR14 , in cvs Solitaire and Wembley were studied at the second and sixth leaf stages, using a point inoculation technique. Both resistance types had significant effects at both leaf stages but the most marked effects were evident on adult plants. At both leaf stages there was a high correlation between colony, length and urediniospore prodction.     

紫外线诱导小麦条锈菌毒性突变及突变体的RAPD分析

以夏孢子相对致死率90%左右作为紫外线处理最适时间,发现8min为小麦条锈菌条中29号单孢菌系(CY29-3)最适处理时间,其夏孢子相对致死率达88.97%。CY29-3的夏孢子经紫外线处理、扩繁、筛选品种筛选及4代的稳定选择后,获得了两个毒性变异的突变菌株。毒性突变产生的Jubi菌株对尤皮Ⅱ号的毒性增强,反应型由野生菌系的0型变为4型;非毒性突变产生的Funo菌株在阿夫上的反应型由野生菌系的4型变为2型。研究结果表明两突变菌株在鉴别寄主上的反应型和毒性范围也明显不同于野生菌系,说明紫外线诱导的小麦条锈菌变异是不定向和复杂的。对野生菌系和两个突变菌株进行RAPD分析后发现,两突变菌株与野生菌系之间的DNA多态性存在显著差异,多态率分别为10.58%和11.57%,说明紫外线可使小麦条锈菌基因组DNA发生较大的变化且突变位点比较复杂。     

Genetic variability in Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici populations sampled on a local scale during natural epidemics

This study investigated genetic polymorphism on a local scale in Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici populations during natural epidemics, in four fields located in northern France and sampled in 1998 or 1999. Two hundred and forty-seven isolates were analyzed for their amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) pattern through four primer combinations, and 194 of them were also tested for their virulence factors. Only one or two pathotypes were found in each field, and all isolates had virulence v17, matching the recently introduced Yr17 resistance gene. Polymorphism on a field scale was low. Although 67 loci were polymorphic, 77% of the isolates had the same AFLP pattern, all other patterns being rare or unique. Analyses of the genetic distance between AFLP patterns based on the Jaccard index allowed us to define 12 groups, but a bootstrap analysis showed that all isolates could be assigned to a single clonal lineage. This leads us to conclude that P. striiformis f. sp. tritici populations are clonal on a field scale in northern France.     

条形柄锈菌(小麦条锈病菌)侵染结构体外形成的观察

通过荧光显微镜和扫描电镜分别对条形柄锈菌夏孢子在寄主植物-小麦叶表和非寄主植物-水稻叶表以及小麦穗部和茎秆上的萌发过程进行了观察。结果发现,夏孢子在小麦叶片体表萌发产生芽管后,可依次分化形成气孔下囊、初生菌丝与吸器母细胞;在小麦颖片、稃片及茎秆部位表面,同样可观察到病菌在体外分化形成吸器母细胞;并且在水稻叶片上也观察到病菌侵染结构存在体外分化现象。经荧光染色发现,条形柄锈菌在体外与在小麦组织中形成的侵染结构没有明显的差别。观察结果可为条形柄锈菌侵染结构的离体诱导与调控机理研究提供依据。
