马立克氏病血清I型致瘤株病毒感染的早期检测

马立克氏病 (MD)是养禽业最重要的疫病之一 ,一直缺少有效的早期诊断方法。根据血清I型马立克氏病毒(MDV1)meq基因的核酸序列设计了一对寡苷酸核引物 ,分别对MDV1致瘤株 (京 - 1株 )、非致瘤株 (MD11/ 75C株、CV1988株 )、MDV2 (SB 1株 )、HVT(Fc 12 6株 )的核酸进行扩增。结果表明 :京 - 1株扩增到约 1 15kb核酸片段 ,MD11/ 75C株和CVI988株扩增到约 1 0kb核酸片段 ,而SB 1株、Fc 12 6株没得到任何扩增产物。PCR产物Dotblot结果显示 ,京 - 1株、MD11/ 75C株和CVI988株的扩增产物都与Digoxigenin标记的meq基因探针杂交 ,说明都是特异性的扩增产物。对MSB1细胞DNA及MDV感染鸡的血液及肝、肾肿瘤等DNA扩增都得到 1 15kb条带。将京 - 1株和CVI988株感染的细胞DNA混合再扩增 ,同时得到 1 15kb和 1 0kb的核酸条带 ,所以根据扩增产物大小可以区别致瘤株京 - 1株及非致瘤株CV1988株 ,这表示可从CVI988株病毒免疫鸡体内检测到MDV强毒 ,适于早期确诊强毒感染。

用SSR标记研究柑橘属及其近缘属植物的亲缘关系

用SSR标记分析了29份柑橘属及近缘属植物的亲缘关系。7对SSR引物在29个样品中扩增得到114个等位基因,平均每个位点有16.3个等位基因。计算匹配系数后用邻接法进行聚类,结果表明,澳洲指橘与柑橘属的亲缘关系很近;SSR位点的高纯合频率支持富民枳种的地位;枳与柑橘属的关系较远,枳不大可能是从柑橘属衍生而来;Swingle的亚属的划分以及田中的原生柑橘类和后生柑橘类的划分界线不清晰;现代栽培柑橘的起源与大翼橙关系密切;柑橘属的枸橼、柚和宽皮橘都很好地分离,支持其为现代栽培柑橘的3个基本种的观点。     

Detection and characterization of citrus tatter leaf virus (CTLV) and citrus yellow vein clearing virus (CYVCV) in citrus trees from Cyprus

Citrus tatter leaf virus (CTLV) was firstly reported of in California. After that, it reported in Australia, Korea, Nigeria, Japan, South Africa, and China. The transmission of this virus from plant to plant is very easy with mechanically. Citrus yellow vein clearing virus (CYVCV) was reported on lemon trees in India, Pakistan, Turkey and China. Foliar distortion, necrotic spots, chlorosis and wrinkling symptoms were observed in young lemon orchards in newly established orchards with trees imported from abroad. Therefore, surveys of citrus trees in Cyprus were performed for CTLV and CYVCV from 2013 to 2016. A total of 64 leaf samples from symptomatic citrus trees (41 lemon, 10 orange, 10 mandarin and three grapefruit samples) were collected for total nucleic acid extraction and RT-PCR with CTLV primers to amplify a 309 bp and a 614 bp fragment, respectively, of the 5′ end (100%) and high nucleotide sequence identity (99%) with isolates BJNM-2 and QC4 from China and isolate BDZ-1 from Australia. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CTLV from Europe.     

Biochemical and molecular identification of Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa causing bacterial leaf streak of wheat in Punjab,Pakistan

Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa, (Xtu.), causal agent of Bacterial leaf streak (BLS) of wheat, was characterised through pathogencity, hypersensitivity, biochemical and molecular assays. Fifty symptomatic leaves of wheat were collected from eight agro-ecological zones of Punjab out of which 25 were isolated and purified. Maximum incidence and severity in Faisalabad were followed by Multan and Rahim Yar Khan. The pathogen isolated from diseased leaves was identified on the basis of colonies pattern, colour, biochemical and pathogencity test as X. translucens pv. undulosa and confirmed its pathogencity through pathogencity test. For molecular characterization, the bacterial 16S–23S rDNA spacer fragments were amplified by PCR with conserved primers (C1 and C2) and then in combination with specific primers (T1 & T2). 300?bp product amplified by C1 and C2 primer pair confirmed the presence of Xanthomonas, while specific primers T1 and T2 amplified a product of 200?bp, confirmed the presence of X. translucens pv. undulosa. This work will be quite helpful for wheat pathologist and breeders for future management strategy for this disease.     

Relationships of leaf Fatty acids to cold hardening of citrus seedlings

Three cultivars of citrus with different sensitivities to freezing temperatures (citron, Citrus medica L.; rough lemon, C. limon Burm. F; sour orange, C. aurantium L.) were cold hardened for 4 weeks. Lipids from leaves of hardened and control seedlings were fractionated and analyzed for fatty acids. The absolute amount of triglycerides and phospholipids increased in the leaves upon hardening. With hardening, total linoleic acid also increased 141% in citron, 210% in rough lemon, and 233% in sour orange. Specific increases in linoleic acid were found in triglycerides, in the four phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylglycerol), and in neutral lipids more polar than triglycerides. Trans-3-hexadecenoic acid was found only in phosphatidylglycerol.     

Development of a SCAR marker and a strain‐specific genomic marker for the detection of the biocontrol agent strain CPA‐8 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (formerly B. subtilis)

In this work, reliable tools were developed to detect and identify the biocontrol strain CPA‐8 using DNA amplification techniques. As a first approach, the RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) technique was applied to a collection of 77 related Bacillus species. Among the primers tested, the primer pair OPG1/OPG6 amplified a 668 bp specific product to the strain CPA‐8 that was sequenced and used to design SCAR (sequence‐characterised amplified regions) primer pairs. The SCAR‐4 marker amplified a semi‐specific fragment of 665 bp not only for the strain CPA‐8 but also for other 12 strains whose morphology was completely different from CPA‐8. Another approach was developed to obtain a strain‐specific genomic marker related to ecological adaptations of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens species. The primer pair F2/R2 obtained from RBAM 007760, a gene involved in surface adhesion, amplified a 265 bp fragment unique for strain CPA‐8. Our results revealed that these two molecular markers, SCAR‐4 and RBAM 007760 F2/R2 provide suitable monitoring tools to specifically identify the biocontrol CPA‐8 when applied against brown rot caused by Monilinia spp. in stone fruit. Moreover, our findings demonstrate that the strain CPA‐8 is affiliated with B. amyloliquefaciens species that was formerly designated as Bacillus subtilis.

Phospholipids, free sterols and adenosine triphosphatase of plasma membrane-enriched preparations from roots of citrus genotypes differing in chloride exclusion ability

Plasma membrane-enriched preparations from fibrous roots of three citrus genotypes differing in their abilities for chloride exclusion, and grown in the presence of 0,50 or 100 mM NaCl for 4 weeks, were analysed for phospholipid and free sterol content and vanadate-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity over a range of temperatures. The best chloride excluder, Rangpur lime (Citrus reticulaia Blanco var. austera hyb.?), had significantly higher maximal ATPase activity than both the moderate chloride excluder. Kharna khatta (Citrus kharna Raf.), and the worst chloride excluder, Etrog citron (Citrus medico L.), at all assay temperatures below 28°C. Salt treatment had no effect on maximal ATPase activity of either Rangpur lime or Etrog citron but resulted in increased activity of the enzyme in Kharna khatta at temperatures below 28°C. Arrhenius plots of ATPase activity from the three citrus genotypes showed that, in controls, the activation energy (E.,) of Rangpur lime ATPase was significantly lower than that of both Kharna khatta and Etrog citron. The thermotropic phase transition temperature (T_f) for Rangpur lime (27°C) was also lower than for the other citrus genotypes (31°C). Salt treatment resulted in increases in both Ea and T, for Rangpur lime, decreases in both parameters for Kharna khatta and no change of either parameter for Etrog citron. An inverse relationship between E_a and the phospholipid to free sterol ratio was evident for plasma membrane preparations from all three citrus genotypes in the presence and absence of salt treatment suggesting that changes in membrane fluidity, particularly those induced by free sterols, have the potential to influence active as well as passive ion transport processes and thus may play a significant role in the chloride exclusion mechanism.     

The introduction of cultivated citrus to Europe via Northern Africa and the Iberian Peninsula

The circumstances concerning the diffusion of the main cultivated citrus from their places of origin in Asia are studied here, showing that the citron (’Citrus medica L.) was the only one knew in Ancient times in Europe, while the lemon (C. limon [L.] Osbeck), lime (C. aurantiifolia [Christm.] Swingle), pomelo (C. maxima [Burm.] Merr.) and sour orange (C. x aurantium L.) were introduced to Europe by the Muslims via the Iberian Peninsula and Sicily, and that the grapefruit (C. paradisi Macfad.), mandarin (C. reticulata Blanco) and sweet orange (C. x aurantium L.) arrived to the West between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries as a result of the trade with the British and Portuguese colonies.
