水稻抗非生物逆境功能基因的发掘

水稻遭受的非生物逆境包括干旱、淹涝、盐害、低温、高温等。非生物逆境抗性有着复杂的遗传和分子基础,解析水稻非生物逆境抗性的机制将有助于抗逆新品种的培育。抗逆性受到很多小效应遗传位点的控制,成百上千个与形态和生理响应以及发育相关的基因和抗逆性相关。尽管在水稻中已鉴定了很多抗逆相关基因,但直接利用抗逆基因进行水稻抗逆遗传改良的成功例子还非常少。最近的抗逆基因功能研究发现,很多基因在形态和生理水平响应或调控不同的逆境,这为理解水稻复杂的抗逆机制提供了新的线索。现简要概述了近年来水稻主要非生物逆境抗性相关基因分离和功能鉴定方面的研究进展。

植物蛋白激酶与作物非生物胁迫抗性的研究

干旱、盐碱、高温等非生物逆境胁迫严重影响作物生长发育、产量和品质。在遭受非生物逆境的威胁时,植物通过信号受体,可感知、转导胁迫信号,启动一系列抗逆相关基因的表达,最终缓解或抵御非生物逆境胁迫对植物造成的危害。其中,蛋白激酶和蛋白磷酸酯酶的磷酸化/去磷酸化作用在植物感受外界胁迫信号的分子传递过程中起到开关的作用。正常情况下,蛋白激酶磷酸化开启信号转导途径,启动相应的抗逆基因表达反应;当信号消失后,蛋白激酶去磷酸化将信号转导途径关闭,达到调控植物正常生长的目的。因此,蛋白激酶在调控感受胁迫信号、启动各种非生物逆境胁迫响应中起到了极其重要的作用。近年来,对植物蛋白激酶参与非生物胁迫响应的研究倍受关注。本文阐述了不同类型蛋白激酶在改良作物非生物胁迫抗性上的应用,为进一步研究提供资料。     

沙冬青属植物响应非生物胁迫的蛋白质组学研究进展

沙冬青属植物具有抗寒、抗旱、抗盐碱等特性,是研究植物逆境胁迫和筛选天然抗逆基因库的理想材料。非生物胁迫是限制沙冬青属植物生长发育及地理分布的重要因素,研究沙冬青属植物响应非生物胁迫的蛋白质组学为发掘其相关抗逆蛋白质及探索抗逆机理奠定基础。通过对近年来国内外利用蛋白质组学技术研究沙冬青属植物应答逆境胁迫的相关成果进行总结归纳,综述沙冬青属植物对低温、干旱、高盐等非生物胁迫响应的蛋白质组学最新研究进展,探讨在非生物胁迫下沙冬青属植物蛋白质水平的动态变化,揭示特定的蛋白质网络以及相关逆境应答机制,并对蛋白质组学技术应用前景进行展望,以期为沙冬青属植物抗逆分子机制更深入、全面的研究提供参考依据。     

非生物胁迫下作物磷素利用研究进展

磷对作物生长发育和抗逆性有重要作用。非生物胁迫常严重影响作物对磷的吸收、利用和转运,使作物生长代谢减缓,产量降低。在作物磷肥过量施用和抗逆品种选择的综合背景下,本文对干旱、盐碱和低温这三种非生物胁迫下作物磷素养分特征及生理响应机制进行了分析,并对磷素养分效率进行了总结评价。非生物胁迫不仅直接损伤作物根系,还降低了土壤中无机磷素的可移动性和有效性,导致作物生理性缺磷。施磷可有效减轻非生物胁迫对作物的伤害,促进作物对水分和养分的吸收,并在一定程度上提高作物抗逆性。此外,不同作物种类或同一作物不同基因型对胁迫条件及磷素养分的响应存在显著差异,只有抗逆和磷高效相结合才是提高非生物胁迫下作物磷素利用的最优途径。本文对未来非生物胁迫下作物磷素利用的研究方向提出了以下展望和建议:土壤根际磷素有效性的影响因素及改善途径、最适磷肥施用量的确定、抗逆及磷高效利用作物基因资源的发掘与鉴定。

Parameters affecting plant defense pathway mediated recruitment of entomopathogenic nematodes

Entomopathogenic nematodes are natural enemies and effective biological control agents of subterranean insect herbivores. Interactions between herbivores, plants, and entomopathogenic nematodes are mediated by plant defense pathways. These pathways can induce release of volatiles and recruit entomopathogenic nematodes. Stimulation of these plant defense pathways for induced defense against belowground herbivory may enhance biological control in the field. Knowledge of the factors affecting entomopathogenic nematode behaviour belowground is needed to effectively implement such strategies. To that end, we explore the effect of elicitor, elicitor dose, mechanical damage, and entomopathogenic nematode release distance on recruitment of entomopathogenic nematode infective juveniles to corn seedlings. Increasing doses of methyl jasmonate and methyl salicylate elicitors recruited more entomopathogenic nematodes as did mechanical damage. Recruitment of entomopathogenic nematodes was higher at greater release distances. These results suggest entomopathogenic nematodes are highly tuned to plant status and present a strategy for enhancing biological control using elicitor-stimulated recruitment of entomopathogenic nematodes.

Satellite DNA sequences as taxonomic markers in nematodes of agronomic interest

The success of alternative crop protection practices against plant-parasitic nematodes using host resistance genes depends fundamentally upon identification of the species and pathotypes effectively controlled by these genes. In the same way, biological control of insects by entomopathogenic nematodes will work only if the nematode strains used are indeed active against the pests to be eliminated. For these applications, the accurate interspecific and/or intraspecific identification of nematodes is thus of outstanding importance. Here, Eric Grenier, Philippe Castagnone-Sereno and Pierre Abad discuss the recent use of satellite DNA sequences in nematode taxonomic diagnostics.     

Spatial and temporal distribution of endemic entomopathogenic nematodes in a heterogeneous vegetable production landscape

Entomopathogenic nematodes within the families Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae (Order: Rhabditida) are potential biological control agents for many soil-dwelling vegetable pests. However, their low persistence and efficacy after field releases have resulted in limited use in pest management programs. Understanding the factors regulating natural populations of entomopathogenic nematodes may provide insight into practices to conserve populations within production systems. A series of investigations were conducted within a vegetable production area in Willard, Ohio during 2000–2003 to gain insight into the population ecology of endemic populations of entomopathogenic nematodes. A total of 440 sites across four habitats associated with the production landscape were sampled to ascertain the natural occurrence of these beneficial nematodes. Habitats included cultivated areas, grassy banks adjacent to cultivated areas, undisturbed shrub lands and forests. Twelve sites along grassy banks were monitored over a growing season to estimate associations between abiotic and biotic factors and endemic populations. Entomopathogenic nematodes were only detected along grassy banks adjacent to the cultivated areas; nematodes were recovered from 15 to 30% of sites sampled in 2001 and 2002, respectively. Two species of nematodes were isolated, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar and Steinernema feltiae Filipjev. H. bacteriophora was the most prevalent nematode species and was recovered from 60% of positive samples. Nematode populations varied temporally and spatially along grassy banks; mean population density over the growing period was 1313 infective juveniles/m². Neither macro- nor microarthropod communities nor soil temperature differed between sites at which nematodes were detected and those at which nematodes were not detected. Soil moisture, however, was associated with the occurrence and persistence of nematodes along grassy banks; mean soil moisture at sites at which nematodes were detected and those sites at which nematodes were not detected was 37.3 and 26.8%, respectively. Water management is an important component of vegetable production and our results suggest that soil moisture manipulation would be important in the establishment and sustained presence of entomopathogenic nematode populations within cultivated areas over the growing season.

昆虫病原线虫感染期幼虫恢复发育的研究进展

昆虫病原线虫的感染期幼虫（infective juvenile,IJ）是其一生中唯一具有侵染能力和可自由生活于寄主体外的虫态,一般滞育不取食,体外包裹着已经蜕去的第2龄幼虫的表皮,对外界不良环境的耐受能力强,又称为耐受态幼虫(dauer juvenile,DJ),类似于秀丽隐杆线虫Caenorhabditis elegans的耐受态幼虫。在食物信息的诱导下,感染期幼虫脱鞘,释放出共生细菌,恢复取食并继续发育,这个过程称为感染期幼虫的恢复（IJ recovery）。这个过程是发生在寄生性线虫入侵寄主时的发育过程,对于成功寄生是必要的,在线虫的产业化培养中发挥着重要作用,感染期线虫的恢复率及其发育的同步性直接影响了线虫的产量。本文概述了感染期线虫的恢复发育过程,并对诱导感染期线虫恢复发育的食物信号（food signals）、恢复的影响因素及其检测手段进行了综述,同时讨论了未来的研究方向。     

Insect-parasitic nematodes: from lab curiosities to model organisms

Interest in studying insect-parasitic nematodes was originally focused on their potential as biological control agents of insects and other arthropod pests. Now, after 30 years of intense basic and applied research, realization of the practical use of insect-parasitic nematodes, particularly of entomopathogenic nematodes and their symbiotic bacteria, has spurred developments across a far broader scientific front. We are now entering a new era of discovery in which tools of molecular genetics are being increasingly used to address a range of biological questions. The knowledge gained from these efforts will directly benefit the practical application of insect-parasitic nematodes as more effective biopesticides. Moreover, these studies will advance these nematodes as unique and intrinsically interesting biological model systems not only for basic research but also in applied fields such as plant health, human medicine, pharmaceutical bioprospecting, and genetic engineering. In this review, the past and current state of insect-parasitic nematode research is summarized. Future research priorities and goals are identified and discussed.

Impact of Entomopathogenic Nematodes on Non-target Hosts

Biological pest control has been thought to be ecologically safe for many years. More recently, it has been questioned whether entomopathogens and beneficial arthropods or nematodes truly have no impact on non-target species. Only a few studies deal with the action of entomopathogenic nematodes on non-target animals, although a broad spectrum of species has been tested in the laboratory. Entomopathogenic nematodes do not affect vertebrates under natural conditions. Mortality caused by the release of entomopathogenic nematodes among non-target arthropod populations can occur, but will only be temporary, will be spatially restricted and will affect only part of a population. In plots treated with entomopathogenic nematodes, the impact on the non-target fauna proved to be negligible. The possible impact of introduced exotic nematode species is discussed and regulatory measures for the release are proposed.
