An Alginate Prill Formulation of Fusarium oxysporum Schlechtend: Fr. f. sp. erythroxyli for Biocontrol of Erythroxylum coca var. coca

A rice alginate prill formulation of isolate EN - 4 of Fusarium oxysporum f . sp . erythroxyli, pathogenic to Erythroxylum coca var . coca (coca) , was evaluated in greenhouse and field studies for its ability to enhance pathogen populations in the soil and cause disease in coca . The formulation was applied to four different soil types in the greenhouse at 33 . 6 kg ha 1 . It enhanced the population of EN - 4 in each soil and most ( > 90%) of the fungal population remained in the upper 5 cm of soil during the 49 - day experiment . When applied in field experiments , the formulation enhanced the population of EN - 4 in the soil . Isolate EN - 4 was present in the upper 7 . 6 cm of soil 28 days after application at populations similar to those in the greenhouse studies (1 103 to 1 104 colony - forming units (CFUs) / g of soil) . Elevated populations of the pathogen (1 102 CFUs / g of soil) were still present in treated soils 229 days after application of the formulation . The areas used for field studies were already infested with the pathogen and typically developed high levels of fusarium wilt within 2 years of planting with coca . The formulated F. oxysporum began having a significant effect on plant death 100 - 200 days after application based on repeated measures analysis . These data suggest that a formulation of F. oxysporum f . sp . erythroxyli which enhances the incidence of fusarium wilt in coca fields can be produced using established techniques .     

Citrus compost and its water extract for cultivation of melon plants in greenhouse nurseries. Evaluation of nutriactive and biocontrol effects

Two different types of citrus composts, and their water extracts, were tested with regard to their utilisations as partial substitutes for peat in growing media for melon seedlings in greenhouse nurseries. Both compost showed higher plant growth than peat. Compost composed by citrus waste and green residue (C2) showed greater plant growth than compost obtained from the same organic matrices mentioned above further the addition of sludge obtained from citrus industry (C1). Compost C2 showed a greater auxinic effect than C1 and it was the only one that showed cytokinic effect. Both composts also demonstrated a biocontrol effect against Fusarium oxysporum for melon plants: the effects were also higher in C2 than in C1. Higher number of isolated fungi was active against F. oxysporum in compost C2, than compost C1. No different bacterial biocontrol efficacy was observed between both composts. The water extracts of both composts gave lower plant yields than their solid matrices, their relative effects being similar to those of the solid composts (C2 extract gave higher plant yields than the extract from C1). The biocontrol effects of compost water extracts followed the same trend.     

Evaluation of Compost Amendments for Control of Vascular Wilt Diseases

Vascular wilt fungal pathogens cause heavy economic losses to a wide range of crops; amongst them are Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis (FOM) and Verticillium dahliae Kleb. Several strategies for controlling these pathogens have been introduced, such as soil solarization, resistant rootstocks and biological control. In this study, the suppressive ability of seven different compost amendments and the plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium Paenibacillus alvei K165 (with proven activity against V. dahliae ) were tested against FOM in melon and V. dahliae in eggplant. It was shown that K165 had a suppressive effect against the pathogens in all experiments. On the contrary, the composts exhibited a narrow spectrum of effectiveness against the pathogens. Two composts were effective against V. dahliae and one against FOM. Moreover, we investigated the potential of the various compost samples and K165 to induce resistance in an Arabidopsis thaliana – V. dahliae or FOM model system. It was demonstrated that three composts and K165 were effective against V. dahliae ; whereas, one compost and K165 were effective against FOM. In a naturally V.dahliae infested field, the ability of K165 to enhance the suppressive effect of one of the compost amendments, was evaluated. It was demonstrated that fortification of the compost with strain K165 significantly reduced disease severity, whereas the single application of the compost was not sufficient to significantly protect the plants.     

Trifluralin herbicide-induced resistance of melon to fusarium wilt involves expression of stress- and defence-related genes

To identify genes involved in trifluralin herbicide-induced resistance of melon to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis , suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) and cDNA-amplified fragment-length polymorphism (cDNA-AFLP) were used. A total of 123 clones—60 of which have never been isolated from melon—were isolated, sequenced and annotated. A significant proportion (35%) of the total 123 clones exhibited similarity to genes that have been formerly described as stress- or defence-related. Thirty-two selected clones were subjected to a detailed expression analysis, one-third of which were found to be up-regulated in response to trifluralin treatment and/or fusarium inoculation. The putative roles of seven of these clones in stress are discussed. Furthermore, the expression of four stress-related and up-regulated genes was enhanced when the plants were subjected to salinity stress, suggesting that trifluralin induces a general stress response which protects the plant against fusarium wilt.     

香蕉植株根区土壤的真菌多样性分析

尖孢镰孢菌古巴专化型(Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cubense)是香蕉枯萎病的病原菌,该菌是一种土壤习居菌,了解香蕉根区土壤中真菌多样性及镰孢菌属(Fusarium)真菌所占比例,对如何减少土壤中的病原菌、预防香蕉枯萎病的发生有重要的指导意义。该文通过采集不同宿根年限的香蕉健康植株和枯萎病植株的根区土壤,利用高通量测序技术测定土壤样品中的真菌种群。结果表明:(1)同一宿根年限的香蕉植株中,健康植株根区土壤中所获的reads及OTUs数量均高于枯萎病植株,说明健康植株根区土壤的真菌多样性丰富于枯萎病植株。(2)除了一年生香蕉枯萎病植株以担子菌门(Basidiomycota)为主外,其他土壤样品中均以子囊菌门(Ascomycota)为主,其中的丛赤壳科最高相对丰度来自三年生健康植株的根区土壤(26.02%),其次是五年生的枯萎病植株根区土壤(15.56%)。(3)在丛赤壳科中,镰孢菌属在三年生健康植株土壤中的相对丰度最高(2.54%),在其他样品中的相对丰度在0.1%～0.65%之间;在镰孢菌属中,腐皮镰孢菌(Fusarium solani)的相对丰度(0～1.59%之间)高于尖孢镰孢菌(F.oxysporum),尖孢镰孢菌仅占很小的比例(相对丰度0～0.08%之间)。可见,在不同香蕉植株的根区土壤中,健康植株的根区土壤真菌多样性高于枯萎病植株,无论是健康植株还是枯萎病植株的根区土壤中,作为香蕉枯萎病病原菌的镰孢菌属或尖孢镰孢菌的群体均不占主导地位。     

Suppression of Fusarium wilt by combining green compost and Trichoderma hamatum

Fusarium wilts, caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum, are important diseases of horticultural and agricultural crops and lead to significant yield losses. The pathogen infects the roots and colonizes the vascular tissue, leading to wilting and finally death of the plant. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of amendment of green compost and a Trichoderma hamatum strain against Fusarium wilt of radish. The substrate effects and the effect of a Trichoderma strain were tested in a potting soil bioassay. The tested composts lowered the disease level and had a positive influence on the plant yield (fresh weight and dry weight). Nothwithstanding, only a small dosis effect of the amendment was observed. In the presence of the tested Trichoderma hamatum strain no significant lower disease level was observed. Furthermore, a minor effect on plant yield (fresh weight and dry weight) was observed compared to the amendment with only green compost. Maybe the pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum strain and the Trichoderma strain competed for nutrients, iron could be a limiting factor. One possible approach to improve biological control may be the application of combinations of biocontrol agents.

Use of omic approaches for characterizing microbiota from suppressive compost to control soil-borne plant pathogens

Abstract

Microbiomes composition, diversity, and variability into a collection of suppressive composts were investigated for effective biological control of soil-borne phytopathogens. Pyrosequencing resulted be a reliable and faster method for characterizing fungal and bacterial microbiomes into composts derived from a varied feedstock of different composition, origin and provenience. Differences in taxonomic structure assessed by bioinformatics analyses were related to feedstock origin. Green composts derived from agro-waste and agroindustrial co/byproducts provided the most varied microbiomes either related to suppression of Rhizoctonia damping-off in bean and Verticillium wilt in eggplant, either to control of Phytium damping-off in cucumber and Phytophthora root rot in tomato. On the other hand, composted municipal solid wastes and co-composted cow manure with household waste prevalently given a most specific microbiota related to suppression of Fusarium wilt in melon.     

Developments of functional markers for <Emphasis Type="Italic">Fom</Emphasis>-<Emphasis Type="Italic">2</Emphasis>-mediated fusarium wilt resistance based on single nucleotide polymorphism in melon (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Cucumis melo</Emphasis> L.)

Three single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites in which amino acids had changed were detected by sequence analysis within the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) region of the Fom-2 gene. Cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) and allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) methods were employed to explore the SNP validation linked to fusarium wilt resistance in the F₁ and F₂ generations simultaneously. Homozygous- and heterozygous-resistant genotypes and homozygous-susceptible genotype could be clearly distinguished using the CAPS method, and three detected SNP sites were observed to be linked to fusarium wilt resistance, with a segregation ratio of 1:2:1 in the F₂ generation. In addition, heterozygous-resistant and homozygous-susceptible genotypes could be clearly distinguished in the F₁ generation using the AS-PCR method, showing a 3:1 segregation in terms of resistant and susceptible genotypes in the F₂ generation. We therefore developed SNP-based functional markers (FMs) and identified some melon germplasm resistant to fusarium wilt by FM analysis within melon species. In conclusion, the SNP-based FMs originating from the SNP site of the Fom-2 LRR region were determined to be linked to fusarium wilt resistance and showed promise in the enhancement of breeding in melon.     

丛枝菌根真菌对黄瓜枯萎病的影响

Pot experiment was conducted to explore whether nursery inoculation of cucumber with Glomus etunicatum could alleviate fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum. Four-week-old seedlings inoculated with Glomus etunicatum were infected with F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum by pouring conidial suspension. Biomass, contents of malonaldehyde (MDA), soluble sugar and free proline in roots, as well as the quantity of bacteria and fungi in rhizosphere were determined. The results indicated that the root dry weight of seedlings preinoculated with Glomus etunicatum increased by 9.3%; contents of soluble sugar and free proline in roots increased, and the quantity of fungi in rhizosphere decreased significantly. The disease incidence and disease index of Fusarium wilt were reduced. On the contrary, root dry weight of seedlings without inoculation with Glomus etunicatum was reduced by 28.0%. It is concluded that Glomus etunicatum is beneficial to biocontrol of Fusarium wilt of cucumber seedlings.     

Effect of mustard green manure and dried plant residue on chickpea wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris)

Pot experiments were carried out in the green house at Amhara Regional Agriculture Research Institute (ARARI) Bahirdar, Ethiopia, to evaluate the potential of Brassica carinata cultivars, namely Holleta-l, S-67 and Yellow Dodola in 2007 and 2008. The effect of B. carinata (Ethiopian mustard) cultivars Holleta-1, S-67 and Yellow Dodola as green manure and Holleta-1 as dried plant residue on chickpea fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris) was studied. Six rates of green manure and dried plant residue (0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 g) each per kg of pathogen-infested soil were used in the experiments. Infested soil without B. carinata cultivars amendment as a control and susceptible check variety JG-62 without amendment was used in the experiments. In the experiments, the treatments were arranged in randomised complete block design in three replications and repeated twice. Data on seedling emergence, wilt incidence, fresh weight and dry weight were collected. The amendments of infested soil with B. carinata cultivars green manure and dried plant residue reduced the incidence of chickpea fusarium wilt. The incorporation of the green manure Holleta-1, S-67 and Yellow Dodola at 20–100 g/kg of infested soil was effective in reducing wilt incidences on chickpea. However, the incorporation of Yellow Dodola at 80 and 100 g green manure per kg of infested soil were the best combination in reducing significantly wilt incidence. The application of the dried plant residue at 20–100 g/kg of infested soil was effective in reducing wilt incidences on chickpea. However when applied dried plant residue at 60, 80 and 100 g green manure per kg of infested soil were better in reducing wilt incidence as compared to 20 and 40 g/kg of infested soil. The three cultivars green manure incorporated at different level of doses affected the influence of fusarium wilt on the fresh and dry weight respectively. The use of Holleta-1 green manure at 20–100 g/kg of infested soil significantly reduced disease incidence in the range of 20.0–33.3%. Green manure amendment S-67 significantly reduced disease incidence in the range of 20.0–46.6%. Yellow Dodola reduce disease incidence with 26.7–60%. The dried plant residue incorporated at different level influence fusarium wilt. The application of Holleta-1 dried plant residue at 20–100 g/kg of infested soil reduced disease incidence in the range 20.0–26.7%. The results imply the potential of using B. carinata green manure and dried plant residue as cultural management components in chickpea fusarium wilt disease management.     

丛枝菌根真菌对黄瓜枯萎病的影响

盆栽条件下播种黄瓜Cucumis sativus同时接种丛枝菌根真菌Glomus etunicatum,4周后对接种处理和对照黄瓜苗分别浇灌Fusairum oxysporum f.sp.cucumerinum分生孢子悬液,2周后测定幼苗生物量、根内丙二醛、可溶性糖与游离脯氨酸含量及根围真菌和细菌数量。结果表明:接种Glomus etunicatum根系干重增加了9.3%,提高了根内可溶性糖和游离脯氨酸含量,显著减少了根围真菌数量,降低了黄瓜枯萎病的发病率和病情指数。而不接种Glomus etunicatum的黄瓜苗根系干重减少了28.0%。研究认为AM真菌Glomus etunicatum对黄瓜枯萎病具有一定的生防价值。

Impact of compost application on Fusarium wilt disease incidence and microelements contents of basil plants

Fusarium oxysporum was isolated from stem of basil plants showing symptoms of wilt, stem blight and collar root rot. Pathogenicity tests indicated that F. oxysporum f. sp. basilici is the causal agent of this disease. This is the first report of this pathogen in Egypt. The suppressive effects of six types of composts on Fusarium wilt disease incidence in basil were evaluated under greenhouse conditions. The effectiveness of these composts and their relation to the microelements content in treated plants was also assessed. Soil treatments with Khaya and Eucalyptus composts significantly reduced the infection percentage and disease severity of basil wilt. Otherwise, the applications of Araucaria, Datura, Ficus and Azadirachta composts showed no effect on both infection percentage and disease severity. Moreover, the Khaya and Eucalyptus compost treatments increased the levels of Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn) and Manganese (Mn) in treated basil plants than application of Araucaria, Datura, Ficus and Azadirachta composts. In the case of Copper (Cu) content, it was significantly higher only in Eucalyptus-compost-treated plants than in other compost applications. These composts not only reduced the disease incidence but also increased both fresh and dry weight (FW and DW) and microelements contented in basil treated plants. In general, although soil amendment with either Khaya or Eucalyptus compost can reduce the disease incidence of Fusarium wilt on basil plants, microelements contented; FW and DW of these effects can be variable depending on their levels added in soil. According to the results of this study, it can be concluded that the use of compost in the soil as an organic fertiliser increased exchangeable form of microelements in the soil and also the availability of these elements by basil plants.     

Temperature effect on Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis survival during horticultural waste composting

AIMS: The aim of this work was to study the effect of high temperatures generated during composting process, on the phytopathogen fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis. This investigation was achieved by both in vivo (semipilot-scale composting of horticultural wastes) and in vitro (lab-scale thermal treatments) assays. METHODS AND RESULTS: Vegetable residues infected with F. oxysporum f.sp. melonis were included in compost piles. Studies were conducted in several compost windrows subjected to different treatments. Results showed an effective suppression of persistence and infective capacity, as this process caused complete fungal elimination after 2-3 days of composting. In order to confirm the effect of high temperature during this process, in vitro experiments were carried out. Temperature values of 45, 55 and 65 degrees C were tested. All three treatments caused the elimination of fungal persistence. Treatment at 65 degrees C was especially effective, whereas 45 degrees C eliminated fungal persistence only after 10 days. CONCLUSIONS: The composting process is an excellent alternative for the management of plant wastes after harvesting, as this procedure is able to suppress infective capacity of several harmful phytopathogens such as F. oxysporum f.sp. melonis. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis is a plant pathogen fungus specially important in the province of Almería (south-east Spain), where intensive greenhouse horticulture is very extended. High temperatures reached during composting of horticultural plant wastes ensure the elimination of phytopathogen microorganisms such as F. oxysporum f.sp. melonis from vegetable material, providing an adequate hygienic quality in composts obtained.     

施氮水平对蚕豆枯萎病和根际微生物代谢功能多样性的影响

研究不同氮肥用量对蚕豆根际微生物功能多样性的影响及其与蚕豆枯萎病发生的关系.通过田间小区试验,采用Biolog微平板分析法研究了4个施氮水平N₀(0 kg·hm-2)、N₁(56.25 kg·hm^-2)、N₂(112.5 kg·hm^-2)和N₃(168.75 kg·hm^-2)对蚕豆枯萎病危害和根际微生物代谢功能多样性的影响.结果表明： 施氮(N₁、N₂、N₃)处理显著降低了蚕豆枯萎病的病情指数和根际镰刀菌的数量,显著增加了蚕豆根际的细菌、放线菌数量、细菌/真菌和放线菌/真菌.其中N₂处理蚕豆枯萎病病情指数和镰刀菌数量最低,而细菌、放线菌数量、细菌/真菌和放线菌/真菌最高.与N₀处理相比,N₁、N₂、N₃处理均提高了根际微生物群落碳源利用率(AWCD),但对6类碳源的利用存在一定的差异.不同施氮水平下根际微生物群落对糖类、羧酸类和氨基酸类碳源利用程度较高.主成分分析表明,施氮明显改变了蚕豆根际微生物群落结构,糖类、羧酸类和氨基酸类碳源是区分施氮导致土壤微生物群落变化的敏感碳源.施氮抑制了根际微生物对部分糖类和羧酸类碳源的利用,而提高了对氨基酸和酚酸类碳源的利用,这可能是施氮减轻蚕豆枯萎病危害的重要原因之一.适量施氮能增加根际细菌、放线菌数量,改变微生物代谢功能,降低病原菌数量,是抑制蚕豆枯萎病发生的有效措施.
