黑星病菌在苹果叶片上的发育过程研究

采用电子显微镜技术,研究了苹果黑星病菌在苹果叶片上发育过程。扫描电子显微镜观察结果表明,接种后 12h 分生孢子即可萌发并形成附着胞,统计结果显示其孢子萌发率在 6h 和 12h 分别为 83％和 95％,附着胞形成率在 12h 和 24h 分别为 93％ 和 95％ 。透射电子显微镜观察结果表明,黑星病菌侵入以后在寄主角质层下和表皮细胞之间扩展、定殖并可形成子座。接种后12d,病菌开始从子座上产生分生孢子梗和分生孢子,分生孢子梗顶端每产生一个单生的分生孢子就形成一个环痕并延伸其长度。分生孢子梗和分生孢子主要沿叶脉形成,在叶片上呈网状扩展,此时叶片表现明显的病害症状。     

甾醇生物合成抑制剂粉锈宁对苹果黑星病菌发育的影响

采用电子显微镜和细胞化学技术,研究了杀菌剂粉锈宁（甾醇生物合成抑制剂）对苹果黑星病菌在苹果叶片上发育的影响。观察结果表明,接种前24h施药对病菌入侵有明显的影响。表现为分生孢子的萌发受阻,推迟萌发及萌发率降低;并引起芽管畸形,不能形成附着胞。接种后6天（显症前）施药,可引起叶片角质层下菌丝细胞和子座细胞的原生质坏死、细胞壁不规则增厚及液泡增大, 从而使菌丝进一步发育受阻。接种后12天（显症后）施药,不仅导致菌丝、子座细胞发生上述变化, 而且引起分生孢子和分生孢子梗塌陷、畸形,阻止了病菌的进一步产孢和扩展。细胞化学定位分析结果表明,?-1,3-葡聚糖和几丁质这两种胞壁主要成分在对照菌丝和药剂处理后的菌丝细胞壁内含量有很大差异。在药剂处理的菌丝细胞壁中,这两种成分的标记密度明显高于对照菌丝,表明杀菌剂对病菌质膜透性的不利影响使?-1,3-葡聚糖和几丁质在菌丝细胞壁中过度累积。

秦冠苹果品种对苹果黑星病的组织学抗性研究

为揭示苹果抗病品种秦冠在组织细胞学水平上抗苹果黑星病的特征,本研究采用扫描和透射电镜技术,将苹果黑星菌Venturia inaequalis接种侵染寄主后,系统观察抗病品种秦冠和感病品种嘎啦的叶片组织和细胞结构变化。扫描电镜观察结果表明,黑星菌分生孢子悬浮液接种秦冠和嘎啦叶片48 h后,病菌沿叶脉生长扩展,其菌丝可从叶片气孔或直接侵入。透射电镜观察结果表明,秦冠叶片的角质层厚度明显高于嘎啦,其中秦冠角质层平均厚度为1.75 μm,嘎啦为1.06 μm。透射电镜观察结果表明,黑星菌菌丝在寄主叶肉细胞间扩展,导致嘎啦栅栏组织细胞萎缩,排列松散,叶绿体变形受损,细胞内出现较大淀粉粒和胞内物质外渗流失,并在后期发展成大量细胞坏死;而秦冠虽症状类似,但受损程度明显小于嘎啦。以上结果表明,秦冠在组织细胞学上对苹果黑星病具有抗侵染、抗扩展和延缓病程发展的作用,可作为苹果黑星病抗性育种材料加以利用。

尖角突脐孢菌在稗草和水稻上的萌发和侵染行为比较研究

本试验结合曲利苯兰和荧光素钠两种染色方法的优点,从显微角度研究了尖角突脐孢菌(Exserohilum monoceras)两个菌株X-27和HN-14在稗草和水稻上萌发和侵染行为的差异。结果表明,在寄主稗草上,接种4h后尖角突脐孢菌孢子开始从一端或两端萌发形成初生芽管;10h后芽管顶端膨大形成附着胞,附着在寄主表面,两端萌发的孢子约90%一端败育,仅一端形成成熟附着胞;在接种后24h内成熟附着胞形成率与接种时间成正相关,24h后趋于稳定;16h后在成熟附着胞下方受侵染的细胞内指状吸器开始形成,随后发育为掌状吸器;接种36h后菌丝在组织表面扩展形成网状,同时稗草叶片上显现叶斑病症状,部分菌丝能在细胞间蔓延扩展。在非寄主植物水稻上,同样观察到孢子萌发产生芽管,但是萌发起始时间滞后大约4h,初生菌丝分枝明显减少,且未能观察到附着胞和吸器的产生。     

球孢白僵菌在红火蚁体表侵染的扫描电镜观察

利用扫描电镜观察了球孢白僵菌Beauveria bassiana Bb04菌株分生孢子对红火蚁Beauveria bassiana 工蚁体壁的侵染过程。结果表明: 分生孢子多分布在红火蚁工蚁节间膜、胸部的褶皱、气门、体壁的凹陷部位、刚毛窝附近, 以及着生较密刚毛的足上。萌发的分生孢子在节间膜以及体表缝隙、刚毛窝及刚毛稀少的凹陷部位、胸部褶皱和足胫节处入侵。分生孢子在附着12 h后开始萌发, 接种后18 h附着在节间膜处的孢子首先侵入成功, 接种后24 h刚毛窝附近孢子萌发入侵, 接种后60 h胸、腹和足等部位的孢子均成功穿透侵入表皮。分生孢子可以直接以芽管侵入表皮, 也可以产生附着胞再侵入。     

营养物质对两种炭疽菌潜伏侵染的影响

通过不同肖的向种糖类对侵染在青香蕉果实中的Ｃｏｌｌｅｔｏｔｒｉｃｈｕｍｍｕｓａｅ和要果实中的Ｃｏｌｌｅｔｏｔｉｃｈｕｍ ｇｌｏｅｓｐｏｒｉｏｉｄｅｓ的菌体的影响进行了测定,结果表明,高浓度淀粉可极显著地提高两种炭疽菌的子萌发率,并有利于附着胞和分生孢子的形成。单糖和二糖在低浓度进有得盱孢子萌发和产孢,不利于附着胞形成。未成熟果实的坚硬结构和高淀粉含量为病菌提供了以附着胞形式潜伏浸染在寄主中的条件。

Infection and Stroma Formation by Venturia inaequalis on Apple Leaves with Different Degrees of Susceptibility to Scab

Conidia of Venturia inaequalis germinated and formed appressoria on all leaves independently of age and origin within the first 15 hours after inoculation. On the youngest expanded leaves of the apple variety Golden Delicious 80% of the conidia developed stromata within the first 24 hours, sporulation occurred after 8 days. On the second leaf (counted from the top of the twig) stroma formation was slowed down compared to the first and sporulation occurred after 10 days only. On the third leaf the fungus rarely formed stromata and never sporulated. The fourth leaf already showed complete ontogenetic resistance. In the diploid variety Priscilla the gene Vf, which confers resistance against scab to apple leaves, was expressed as reduced stroma formation without sporulation, as in the case of ontogenetic resistance. In the triploid variety Sir Prize with the gene Vf, stroma formation was retarded and colonization and sporulation occurred later on the first leaf, similarly to the reaction of the second leaf of variety Golden Delicious.     

Infection Process of Plectosporium tabacinum on False Cleavers (Galium spurium)

A native fungus, Plectosporium tabacinum (van Beyma) M. E. Palm, W. Gams et Nirenberg, has potential as a bioherbicide for the control of both herbicide-resistant and herbicide-susceptible false cleavers. Limited information is available on the infection process of P. tabacinum. P. tabacinum spore distribution pattern, germination, penetration, and colonization on false cleavers leaves were examined using confocal, light, and scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrated that conidia were distributed over the entire surface of leaves and cotyledons. More than 90% of the conidia germinated on the leaf surface 6-8 h after inoculation. Penetration of the leaf epidermis by conidia started 8-10 h after inoculation. Histological observation showed that no appressoria were formed by P. tabacinum, but its hyphae produced appressed club-like structures that penetrated the cuticle and epidermal layers. No stomata or other natural openings were observed on the upper leaf surface of false cleavers seedlings. Penetration occurs directly on epidermal cells with more frequent intercellular penetrations. Hyphal penetration was visualized at a depth of 30 and 40 üm after 8 and 16 h of incubation, respectively. Secondary hyphae colonized mesophyll cells 16 h after inoculation. Even spore distribution, short spore germination time, club-like infection structure formation, direct penetration, quick colonization, and mucous secretion on false cleavers leaves may contribute to the kill of false cleavers by P. tabacinum. Slow spore germination and germ tube growth, low spore germination numbers, and no infection structure formation on Brassica napus leaves may be factors affecting the host selectivity of P. tabacinum.     

Two novel Venturia inaequalis genes induced upon morphogenetic differentiation during infection and in vitro growth on cellophane

Venturia inaequalis is a hemibiotrophic ascomycete that causes apple scab. Germ tubes, from conidia or ascospores, penetrate the leaf or fruit surface directly via appressoria-like swellings; subsequently the hyphae divide laterally to form a stroma between the cuticle and the outer wall of the epidermal cells. This morphological switch can be mimicked by growing the fungus in vitro on cellophane discs. The aim of this work was to identify genes upregulated in planta using growth on cellophane as a model. Four cDNA clones were found to be induced by growth on cellophane, and qRT-PCR showed two of these genes were up-regulated over a thousand fold in infected apple leaves compared to liquid culture. The predicted proteins for both genes possess putative signal peptides for secretion but have no similarity to sequences in publicly available databases. Both genes encode proteins with novel, imperfect repeat domain structures, the number of which vary in an isolate-specific fashion. Cin1 has seven or eight repeats of about 60 amino acids with four conserved cysteine residues per repeat, while Cin3 has four or five repeats of 32 amino acids with no cysteines. Both proteins appear to have evolved through internal duplication. Cin3, in particular, shows considerable between-strain variation in domain structure, indicating a high degree of recombination at this locus and revealing that the repeat structure has most likely arisen by unequal crossing-over. Results of this study support the hypothesis that cellophane-grown V. inaequalis mimics aspects of biotrophic infection and provide the first insights into novel fungal genes expressed during apple scab infection and their mechanisms of evolution.     

Two receptor-like genes, Vfa1 and Vfa2, confer resistance to the fungal pathogen Venturia inaequalis inciting apple scab disease

The Vf locus, originating from the crabapple species Malus floribunda 821, confers resistance to five races of the fungal pathogen Venturia inaequalis, the causal agent of apple scab disease. Previously, a cluster of four receptor-like genes, Vfa1, Vfa2, Vfa3, and Vfa4, was identified within the Vf locus. Because the amino-acid sequence of Vfa3 is truncated, it was deemed nonfunctional. In this study, each of the three full-length Vfa genes was introduced into a plant cloning vector, pCAMBIA2301, and used for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of two apple cultivars, Galaxy and McIntosh, to assess functionality of these genes and to characterize their roles in resistance to V. inaequalis. Transformed apple lines carrying each of Vfa1, Vfa2, or Vfa4 were developed, analyzed for the presence of the transgene using polymerase chain reaction and Southern blotting, and assayed for resistance to apple scab following inoculation with V. inaequalis. Transformed lines expressing Vfa4 were found to be susceptible to apple scab, whereas those expressing either Vfa1 or Vfa2 exhibited partial resistance to apple scab. Based on Western blot analysis as well as microscopic analysis of plant resistance reactions, the roles of Vfa1 and Vfa2 in apple scab disease resistance response are discussed.     

苹果脱乙酰几丁质发酵液诱导苹果叶片对斑点落叶病的早期抗性反应

苹果发酵液(Apple fermentation broth,AFB)是用生理落果、人工疏果和采前落果等无商品价值的果实,经快速发酵制成的植物源营养制剂。苹果脱乙酰几丁质发酵液是在发酵前将脱乙酰几丁质加入粉碎的苹果果实中,共同发酵制成。本试验旨在探讨苹果脱乙酰几丁质发酵液诱导的苹果叶片对斑点落叶病(Alternaira alternate f.sp.mali)的抗性机制。以2年生宫藤富士苹果(Malus domestica Borkh.CV.‘kudowu’)幼树为试材,以喷施苹果发酵液(AFB)、苹果脱乙酰几丁质,发酵液(ACFB)和脱乙酰几丁质制备液(CHN)为处理,喷清水为对照。测定接种斑点落叶病病原菌后,苹果叶片的病情指数和防治效果,同时测定活性氧、木质素、交联蛋白的沉积状况、活性氧含量和抗氧化酶(过氧化物酶POD、超氧化物歧化酶SOD和过氧化氢酶CAT)的活性。结果表明,ACFB处理叶片的病情指数比对照降低了4.3%,防治效果比对照提高了40.7%,AFB处理叶片的病情指数比对照降低了2.4%,防治效果比对照提高了22.2%。斑点落叶病病原菌接种12h后,ACFB处理叶片在病原菌侵染位点上的活性氧、木质素和交联蛋白的沉积量比对照显著增加,其中活性氧比对照增加30%;各处理叶片超氧阴离子自由基和过氧化氢含量分别在接种后12h和36h、3h和24h出现两个高峰。病原菌接种后9—72h,ACFB处理叶片的POD酶和SOD酶活性高于对照,而CAT酶活性较对照低。由此可见,喷施苹果脱乙酰几丁质发酵液,可有效诱导苹果叶片对斑点落叶病的抗性,其诱导反应可能与侵染早期叶片活性氧迸发及抗氧化代谢有关。     

Histopathology of Nomuraea rileyi in Plathypena scabra larvae

Green cloverworm larvae. Plathypena scabra, were inoculated with Nomuraea rileyi by “tumbling” larvae in a vial of conidia. The ontogeny of the pathogen was followed by using standard histological techniques. N. rileyi conidia germinated on green cloverworm integument within 12 hr after inoculation. Germ tubes penetrated larval cuticle 36 hr after inoculation, then grew parallel to endocuticular laminae. After hyphal penetration of the epidermis ca. 4.5 days after inoculation, hyphal bodies were produced and were transported throughout the hemocoel. Hyphal bodies and hemocytes cohabited the hemocoel, but gut epithelial and muscle tissues were not invaded by Day 5. Hemocytes lysed and mycelia completely ramified throughout all larval tissues by 7 days after inoculation. Death of larvae was followed by conidiogenesis ca. 7.5 days after inoculation.     

Some factors influencing spore germination and penetration of Alternaria longipes

The ranges over which the germination of conidia of Alternaria longipes was > 50% were 10–35 °C on agar and 15–30 °C on tobacco leaf disks. Germination was optimal at 22.5 °C; so was germ-tube growth, reaching c. 300 and 102 μm on agar and leaf disks respectively after 12 h. On average, 27% more conidia germinated and germ-tubes were 62% longer on disks from leaves washed for 5 min under running water than on disks from unwashed leaves. At controlled saturation deficits germination after 8 h at 1.1 and 2.3 mb was 42.3 and 9.3% respectively and the rate of germ-tube growth was < 0.8 μm/h, compared with 94.4% and 8.3 μm/h in standing water. These results, together with some field data, suggests that germination in the field is largely restricted to periods when free moisture is present on leaves. In Malawi, leaf temperatures and the duration of dew at night were adequate to allow germination and penetration in the absence of rain. Pollen, when applied with the inoculum, had little effect on the number of germinated conidia, but caused a c. tenfold increase in the number of successful penetrations.     

Development of Powdery Mildew Fungi on Leaves Submerged Under Water

Effects of submerging inoculated leaves under water on the development of Erysiphe graminis f. sp. hordei on barley, E. pisi f. sp. pisi on pea and Sphaerotheca pannosa on rose were investigated. Submerging leaves immediately after inoculation removed 27–40% of conidia from leaves. Additionally, conidia either failed to germinate or germinated abnormally resulting in reduced elongating secondary hyphae (ESH) production. Submerging leaves 24 h after inoculation had, little effect on the numbers of ESH. Conidiophore production from mycelia occurred under water, although mildew growth was slower. Sporulating colonies treated with water produced conidia which had the ability to produce ESH. Experiments with E. aquilegiae on Aquilegia vulgaris, E. depressa on Arctium lappa, E. verbasci on Verbascum thapsus and Microsphaera alphitoides on Quercus rober suggest that the wettability of leaves and the presence of trichomes on leaf, surfaces play an important role in determining germination behaviour and subsequent ESH production on leaves.
