Occurrence of Peroxidases in Sweet Potato Infected by the Black Rot Fungus

Changes in the peroxidase activity and the patterns in sweet potato tissue infected by Ceratocystis fimbriata were investigated, by the method of starch-gel electrophoresis, DEAE-cellulose column chromatography and immunochemical analysis, compared with that in cut and healthy tissue. Time-course analysis of the increment of the total peroxidase activity also showed noticeable differences between diseased and cut tissues. The peroxidases in diseased and cut tissues were composed of four major and several minor components. Though electrophoretic analysis did not show so striking differences in the patterns of peroxidases between diseased and cut tissues, there were distinct differences in the ratio of activities of major peroxidase components between both tissues. Immunochemical works indicated that peroxidase A which showed the most prominent increase in diseased tissue was found to be formed in cut tissue though the amounts were appreciably small. The activity of peroxidase C in diseased tissue was not so high as seen in cut tissue.     

Cellular Localization of t-Cinnamic Acid 4-Hydroxylase Produced in Sweet Potato in Response to Cut Injury

The acid-catalyzed rearrangement of 3-alkyl-3-phenylglycidic esters with ethyl, propyl or isopropyl substituents at 3-position (Ib, Ic and Id) gave substituted 2-hydroxy-3-butenoic esters (IIb, IIe and IId) and substituted pyruvic esters (IIIb, IIIc and IIId). The mechanism of their formation is thought to be the ring cleavage of the oxirane followed by competition of proton elimination at 4-position with hydride shift at 2-position. Prolonged treatment of IId gave a dienoic ester (IV) resulting from dehydration, whereas the same treatment of IIb and IIc gave the unchanged starting materials.

The Effect of the Sequence of Infection of the Causal Agents of Sweet Potato Virus Disease on Symptom Severity and Individual Virus Titres in Sweet Potato cv. Beauregard

Sweet potato virus disease (SPVD) is caused by dual infection of plants with Sweet Potato Feathery Mottle Virus (SPFMV) and Sweet Potato Chlorotic Stunt Virus (SPCSV). Because SPFMV and SPCSV are transmitted by aphids and whiteflies, respectively, infection in nature occurs independently rather than simultaneously. To investigate the effect of consecutive infection on symptom development and individual virus titres, plants infected with a single virus were later inoculated with the second virus. Symptoms were significantly more severe in plants infected with SPCSV followed by SPFMV compared to plants infected with SPFMV followed by SPCSV. Virus titres were not significantly different for SPCSV, but SPFMV titres, in plants infected with SPCSV followed by SPFMV, were significantly higher than all other treatments. The results indicate that the sequence of infection of sweetpotato plants with the causal agents of SPVD influence the severity of symptoms and SPFMV titres in SPVD affected plants.     

Studies on a Factor in Sweet Potato Root Which Agglutinates Spores of Ceratocystis fimbriata, Black Rot Fungus

A factor which agglutinated the spores of Ceratocystis fimbriata in the presence of Ca²⁺ was purified from sweet potato (Ipomea batatas Lam cv. Norin[1]) root. Element composition of the purified factor was as follows; analysis found: C (29.8%), H (3.97%), O (65.34%), N (0.81%): calculated for C₄₃H₆₉O₇₀N₁: C (30.02%), H (4.01%), O (65.15%), N (0.81%). The factor was mainly composed of galacturonic acid (53% of dry weight) and contained arabinose, fucose, and unidentified component as minor components. The factor also agglutinated A-, B-, AB-, and O types of human erythrocytes to almost the same degree in the presence of Ca²⁺. The differential spore-agglutinating activity of the factor depended on the pH of the assay medium; it agglutinated similarly the germinated spores of sweet potato and coffee strains at pH 7.5 and 5.5, whereas it displayed a distinct differential agglutinating activity at pH 6.5. The factor was assayed for spore-agglutinating activity at pH 6.5, using the germinated and ungerminated spores of seven strains of C. fimbriata; sweet potato, coffee, prune, cacao, oak, taro, and almond strains. The factor agglutinated ungerminated spores of all seven strains similarly, although small differences were observed among strains. On the other hand, a clear differential agglutination was observed among the germinated spores of various strains; sweet potato and almond strains were highly insensitive in comparison with other strains. The growth of the agglutinated spores of C. fimbriata was inhibited. These results are discussed in relation to host-parasite specificity.     

外源褪黑素提高草莓黑斑病抗性的效果和作用机制初探

该研究以黑斑病抗性较弱的草莓主栽品种‘红颊’为试验材料,先从病株中分离和鉴定草莓黑斑病的致病菌,然后进行外源喷施褪黑素和接种黑斑病菌处理,通过统计病菌致病性、褪黑素的抑菌效果和促进草莓的抗菌性能力,并测定各处理草莓发病过程中叶片相关酶活性和抗性基因的表达水平,初步探讨外源褪黑素提高草莓对黑斑病抗病性的作用机理。结果表明：(1)通过病菌分离、序列分析和侵染试验结果证明,‘红颊’草莓黑斑病致病菌为链格孢菌。(2)在含有不同浓度(1、2、4和8 mmol/L)褪黑素的 PDA培养基上链格孢菌菌丝的生长速度受到不同程度的抑制,褪黑素浓度越高病菌生长速度越慢,并在8 mmol/L褪黑素的培养基上链格孢菌菌丝的抑制率达 68.9%。(3)外源褪黑素预处理草莓叶片和匍匐茎24 h后接种致病菌(链格孢菌),侵染的草莓叶片和匍匐茎的黑斑病发病进程得到有效延缓,抑制效果随着褪黑素浓度的升高而升高, 并以0.5 mmol/L褪黑素抑制病原菌侵染的效果最佳。(4)0.5 mmol/L外源褪黑素预处理可显著提高接菌草莓叶片抗病相关酶 CAT、 POD、 PAL和 PPO的活性,其中 PPO活性变化最大,比对照显著提高了23.8%。(5)0.5 mmol/L外源褪黑素处理可显著提高草莓抗病相关基因 PR1A like、 PR10、 WRKY1、 PPO和 CCR等的表达量。研究发现,外源褪黑素能有效抑制黑斑病致病菌链格孢菌的菌丝生长,延缓其发病进程,并以0.5 mmol/L浓度最佳;WRKY1转录因子在提高草莓黑斑病抗性的过程中起到了重要的调控作用,外源褪黑素可能通过激活该转录因子的表达调控相关抗病基因的表达和相关抗氧化酶和防御酶的活性,从而提高草莓对黑斑病的抗性。     

The Sweet Pepper Ferredoxin-Like Protein (pflp) Conferred Resistance Against Soft Rot Disease in Oncidium Orchid

Genetic engineering to date has not been used to introduce disease resistance genes into the orchid gene pool. The ferredoxin-like protein gene originally isolated from sweet pepper is thought to function as a natural defense against infection due to its antimicrobial properties. Hence it was reasoned that introduction of this gene might produce Oncidium plants resistant to Erwinia carotovora, the causal agent for the soft rot disease. An expression vector containing sweet pepper ferredoxin-like protein (pflp) cDNA, hph and gusA coding sequence was successfully transformed into protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) of Oncidium orchid, using Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105. A total of 17 independent transgenic orchid lines was obtained, out of which six transgenic lines (-glucuronidase (GUS) positive) were randomly selected and confirmed by Southern, northern and western blot analyses. A bioassay was conducted on the transgenic lines. Transgenic plants showed enhanced resistance to E. carotovora, even when the entire plant was challenged with the pathogen. Our results suggest that pflp may be an extremely useful gene for genetic engineering strategies in orchids to confer resistance against soft rot disease.     

The Role of Polyphenol Oxidase and Peroxidase in Potato Tuber Resistance to Soft Rot Caused by Erwinia carotovora

Tubers from somatic hybrids produced by protoplast fusion between Solanum brevidens, a diploid, non-tuber-bearing wild species, and a tetraploid S. tuberosum showed resistance to decay caused by soft rot Erwinia. Tubers of the S. tuberosum fusion parent and potato cultivar Russet Burbank are susceptible to bacterial soft rot. Tubers of somatic hybrids indicated higher levels of activities of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase than tubers of the parental line of S. tuberosum and cultivar Russet Burbank. This is true for intact tubers and also for injured or inoculated tubers. Polish commercial potato cultivars indicated a higher susceptibility to soft rot than somatic hybrids. However, there were some differences in susceptibility to soft rot between Polish commercial potato cultivars, only slight differences were observed in the activities of the polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase between Polish cultivars. A relation between soft rot resistance and the activity of each enzyme was not found for intact, injured or inoculated tissue of commercial cultivars. On the contrary, the activities of both enzymes were significantly higher in the periderm than in the medullary tissue of somatic hybrids, the parental line and the commercial cultivars.     

Isolation and Characterization of Factors in Sweet Potato Root Which Agglutinate Germinated Spores of Ceratocystis fimbriata, Black Rot Fungus

A factor which agglutinates the germinated spores of Ceratocystis fimbriata was isolated from the sweet potato root. The factor is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 1.6 × 10⁶ daltons and required divalent cations such as Ca²⁺, Mn²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Mg²⁺ for activity. The activity of the factor was pH-dependent. The factor also agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes and is classified as a phytohemagglutinin or lectin. The factor agglutinated germinated spores of seven strains of C. fimbriata to almost the same degree. The factor showed differential agglutinating activity toward the strains in the presence of unidentified low molecular weight factor(s) in the sweet potato root. These results support our earlier suggestion that the spore-agglutinating factors in host plants function as the determinants of specificity in some host-parasite interactions.     

HCV感染与IR 相关关系的研究进展

丙型肝炎是丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染以肝组织损伤为主的全身感染性疾病。HCV感染者中胰岛素抵抗(IR)和高胰岛素血症的高发比率已引起国内外学者广泛重视;对其的研究也日益深入,胰岛素抵抗不仅可以加速肝脏损伤的进程,而且影响抗病毒治疗的疗效;此外,尚可增加2型糖尿病、脂肪肝、动脉粥样硬化等代谢性疾病的患病机会。HCV通过多条途径干预胰岛素的信号传导,包括增加炎性细胞因子如肿瘤坏死因子-a(TNF-a)的分泌、胰岛素受体底物-1的磷酸化和以其糖异生基因如葡萄糖6磷酸酶、磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧激酶2的上调。本文将主要就HCV病毒干扰胰岛素信号传导通路而导致胰岛素抵抗的发生机制,以及期望通过对胰岛素抵抗机制的研究,研制出逆转胰岛素抵抗的靶向药物。

Yield Loss in Sweet Corn in Response to Defoliation or Infection by Exserohilum turcicum

Abstract Net CO₂ assimilation was reduced in sites of infection by Exserohilum turcicum in leaves of Seneca 60 sweet corn before lesions appeared. In leaf tissue adjacent to infected areas, there was an early small increase in CO₂ assimilation followed by a gradual decline to nearly 0 net CO₂ exchange by 7 days after inoculation. Translocation of photosynthates in to disease lesions from healthy tissue distal to the lesions was observed within 1 h after exposure of 1.2–cm² areas of the leaf blade to ¹⁴CO₂. No translocation from lesions to healthy leaf tissue was observed. The effects of defoliation at specific leaf positions on yield of sweet corn plants were accurately simulated by a model in which yield is expressed as a function of healthy leaf area absorption of incident insolation. Removal of leaves from the bottom third of the plants caused no yield loss, whereas removal of leaves above the ear caused significant losses. The model underes, timated the yield loss caused by infection by E. turcicum by approximately 22 %. The observed effects of infection by E. turcicum on photosynthetic efficiency in leaf tissue adjacent to lesions and on translocation of photosynthates into lesion from distal parts of the leaf show that the effect of northern leaf blight on yield is greater than can be accounted for by the direct loss of healthy leaf area through necrosis within disease lesions.

采用微波消解法处理普通甘薯和紫甘薯样品,运用火焰原子吸收光谱法测定其中的K、Ca、Mg、Fe、Mn、Zn、Cu 7种对人体有益的金属元素含量。结果表明,普通甘薯和紫甘薯中K、Ca、Fe、Mg元素含量较高,Mn、Zn、Cu元素含量较低,且7种金属元素含量在两者之间存在一定的差异,各元素在紫甘薯中的含量均比普通甘薯中含量高。方法的加标回收率介于98.5%～103.2%,相对标准偏差(RSD)不大于3.14%。可为普通甘薯与紫甘薯的品质评价提供理论参考。     

Stability of Sweet Potato Cultivars to Alternaria Leaf and Stem Blight Disease

Alternaria leaf petiole and stem blight is an economically important disease of sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatus L.) in tropical and sub-tropical environments. Published research on cultivar resistance to the sweet potato disease is limited. To evaluate cultivar reaction and stability to the disease, multi-location and replicated experiments were established in 12 environments in Uganda. Disease severity (area under disease progress curves – AUDPC), and cultivar root yield were also assessed. Significant differences (P < 0.001) in AUDPC were detected among cultivars. Mean AUDPC ranged from 46.3 (Araka Red) to 78.4 (New Kawogo) across locations and seasons and the genotypes Araka Red and Tanzania had the lowest disease values. The location and season effects accounted for 67.1% and 7.5% of the total variance of AUDPC recorded among cultivars. The ranking of cultivars based on predicted AUDPC from Additive Main Effect and Multiplicative Interactive model (AMMI) showed that the NASPOT 1, the susceptible check, and New Kawogo were most susceptible to the disease in 11 of the 12 environments. Low and stable disease was consistently recorded and predicted on NASPOT 3 and the landrace cultivars Tanzania, Dimbuca, and Araka Red across environments. These results suggest that landrace cultivars had relative stability to the disease and wide adaptation across environments. These results suggest that AMMI statistical model and other multivariate techniques can be utilized for prediction of Alternaria disease stability in these locations.     

Induction of Polysome Formation in Sweet Potato Root Tissue in Response to Wounding

We determined the effects of yolk water-soluble protein (YSP) on bone resorption. YSP potently suppressed osteoclastogenesis from bone marrow-derived precursor cells driven by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). YSP (200 μg/ml) abolished the formation of tartarate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive osteoclasts. Furthermore, TNF-α induced TRAP activity was greatly inhibited by YSP (100 μg/ml) treatment. Our results suggest that YSP has therapeutic potential for bone-erosive diseases.
