Seed‐dressing with essential oils from aromatic plants (savoury and thyme) and with antagonistic bacteria strains (Pseudomonas spp.) was tested after a hot water treatment against Alternaria radicina inoculated on carrot seeds. Seed treatments by immersion in water at 55°C for 10 min improved the efficacy on pathogen control of the treatments with biocontrol agent strains more than the efficacy of those with essential oils. Pretreatment with hot water also increased the germination rate of carrot seeds. A mild phytotoxic effect was observed on the germination rate and the fresh biomass obtained from seeds treated with both essential oils. Treatments with essential oils and antagonistic bacteria presented positive results when combined with hot water dipping of seeds on control of A. radicina, but the effect was not completely additive. The formulation and the application method of the non‐chemical products tested are critical on their development as an alternative strategy on seed disinfection.  相似文献

Although different mechanisms have been proposed in the recent years, plant pathogen partial resistance is still poorly understood. Components of the chemical warfare, including the production of plant defense compounds and plant resistance to pathogen-produced toxins, are likely to play a role. Toxins are indeed recognized as important determinants of pathogenicity in necrotrophic fungi. Partial resistance based on quantitative resistance loci and linked to a pathogen-produced toxin has never been fully described. We tested this hypothesis using the Alternaria dauci – carrot pathosystem. Alternaria dauci, causing carrot leaf blight, is a necrotrophic fungus known to produce zinniol, a compound described as a non-host selective toxin. Embryogenic cellular cultures from carrot genotypes varying in resistance against A. dauci were confronted with zinniol at different concentrations or to fungal exudates (raw, organic or aqueous extracts). The plant response was analyzed through the measurement of cytoplasmic esterase activity, as a marker of cell viability, and the differentiation of somatic embryos in cellular cultures. A differential response to toxicity was demonstrated between susceptible and partially resistant genotypes, with a good correlation noted between the resistance to the fungus at the whole plant level and resistance at the cellular level to fungal exudates from raw and organic extracts. No toxic reaction of embryogenic cultures was observed after treatment with the aqueous extract or zinniol used at physiological concentration. Moreover, we did not detect zinniol in toxic fungal extracts by UHPLC analysis. These results suggest that strong phytotoxic compounds are present in the organic extract and remain to be characterized. Our results clearly show that carrot tolerance to A. dauci toxins is one component of its partial resistance.  相似文献

The genus Alternaria includes numerous phytopathogenic species, many of which are economically relevant. Traditionally, identification has been based on morphology, but is often hampered by the tendency of some strains to become sterile in culture and by the existence of species-complexes of morphologically similar taxa. This study aimed to assess if strains of four closely-related plant pathogens, i.e., accurately Alternaria dauci (ten strains), Alternaria porri (six), Alternaria solani (ten), and Alternaria tomatophila (ten) could be identified using multilocus phylogenetic analysis and Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) profiling of proteins. Phylogenetic analyses were performed on three loci, i.e., the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of rRNA, and the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gpd) and Alternaria major antigen (Alt a 1) genes. Phylogenetic trees based on ITS sequences did not differentiate strains of A. solani, A. tomatophila, and A. porri, but these three species formed a clade separate from strains of A. dauci. The resolution improved in trees based on gpd and Alt a 1, which distinguished strains of the four species as separate clades. However, none provided significant bootstrap support for all four species, which could only be achieved when results for the three loci were combined. MALDI-TOF-based dendrograms showed three major clusters. The first comprised all A. dauci strains, the second included five strains of A. porri and one of A. solani, and the third included all strains of A. tomatophila, as well as all but one strain of A. solani, and one strain of A. porri. Thus, this study shows the usefulness of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry as a promising tool for identification of these four species of Alternaria which are closely-related plant pathogens.  相似文献

Streptomyces griseus produces an antibiotic substance against Colletotrichum lindemuthianum because, in dual culture on potato dextrose agar (PDA), a large inhibitory zone was formed between the colonies of S. griseus and C.lindemuthianum. When S. griseus was placed adjacent to a colony of C. lindemuthianum in PDA, S.griseus grew poorly in PDA but it thrived and sporulated profusely when it came in contact with a colony of C. lindemuthianum indicating that S.griseus might require some essential nutrients from C.lindemuthianum. Scanning electron microscopy showed that hyphae of S.griseus in contact with C.lindemuthianum produced appressorium-like swellings or simply grew on the hyphal surface of C.lindemuthianum. Internal parasitism was evidenced by the presence of hyphae and conidia of the mycoparasite inside the host hyphae. Internal parasitism resulted in formation of several blebs. Cell walls of the parasitized hyphae degenerated having a sponge-like texture. The blebs broke off and left rounded holes on the hyphae.  相似文献

Chemotaxonomy (secondary metabolite profiling) has been shown to be of great value in the classification and differentiation in Ascomycota. However, few studies have investigated the use of metabolite production for classification and identification purposes of plant pathogenic Alternaria species. The purpose of the present study was to describe the methodology behind metabolite profiling in chemotaxonomy using A. dauci, A. porri, A. solani, and A. tomatophila strains as examples of the group. The results confirmed that A. dauci, A. solani, and A. tomatophila are three distinct species each with their own specific metabolite profiles, and that A. solani and A. tomatophila both produce altersolanol A, altertoxin I, and macrosporin. By using automated chemical image analysis and other multivariate statistic analyses, three sets of species-specific metabolites could be selected, one each for A. dauci, A. solani, and A. tomatophila.  相似文献

A novel chitinase gene of tobacco was isolated and characterized by DNA sequence analysis of a genomic clone and a cDNA clone. Comparative sequence analysis of both clones showed an identity of 94%. The proteins encoded by these sequences do not correspond to any of the previously characterized plant chitinases of classes I–IV and are designated as class V chitinases. Comparison of the chitinase class V peptide sequence with sequences in the Swiss Protein databank revealed significant sequence similarity with bacterial exo-chitinases from Bacillus circulans, Serratia marcescens and Streptomyces plicatus. It was demonstrated that class V chitinase gene expression is induced after treatment of tobacco with different forms of stress, like TMV-infection, ethylene treatment, wounding or ultraviolet irradiation. Two related chitinase class V proteins of 41 and 43 kDa were purified from Samsun NN tobacco leaves inoculated with tobacco mosaic virus. The proteins were purified by Chelating Superose chromatography and gel filtration. In vitro assays demonstrated that class V chitinases have endo-chitinase activity and exhibit antifungal activity toward Trichoderma viride and Alternaria radicina. In addition, it was shown that class V chitinase acts synergistically with tobacco class I β-1,3-glucanase against Fusarium solani germlings.  相似文献

Root extracts of black nightshade (Solanum nigrum) were analyzed for activity against isolates ABA‐31 and ABA‐104 of Alternaria brassicicola, the causal agent of black leaf spot of Chinese cabbage (Brassica pekinensis). Preliminary results showed that dried root tissues of black nightshade extracted with 70% ethanol contained antifungal properties against A. brassicicola. Ethanol root extracts were used for further fractionations using ethyl acetate, n‐butanol and water. Among the three extracts, the n‐butanol fraction showed the strongest antifungal activity by its suppression of conidial germination of A. brassicicola. The n‐butanol extract of S. nigrum roots was fractionated further into six fractions (I–VI). Among the six fractions tested, fraction V showed a strong inhibitory effect on conidial germination of A. brassicicola and thereby suppressed lesion development of black leaf spot of Chinese cabbage at a concentration of 25 ppm or higher. Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis indicated that fraction V contained a mixture of saponins, and results of further bio‐guided fractionation and bioassay suggested that saponins in fraction V were key chemical components in the control of A. brassicicola. The potential of using black nightshade for developing natural products for the control of fungal plant diseases is discussed.  相似文献

A selection of 36 wheat and 35 barley simple sequence repeat markers (SSRs) were studied for their utility in Hordeum chilense. Nineteen wheat and nineteen barley primer pairs amplified consistent H. chilense products. Nine wheat and two barley SSRs were polymorphic in a H. chilense mapping population, producing codominant markers that mapped to the expected homoeologous linkage groups in all but one case. Thirteen wheat and 10 barley primer pairs were suitable for studying the introgression of H. chilense into wheat because they amplified H. chilense products of distinct size. Analysis of wheat/H. chilense addition lines showed that the H. chilense products derived from the expected homoeologous linkage groups. The results showed that wheat and barley SSRs provide a valuable resource for the genetic characterization of H. chilense, tritordeums and derived introgression lines.

Endophytes are beneficial microbes that reside intercellularly inside the plants. Interaction of endophytes with the host plants and their function within their host are important to address ecological relevance of endophyte. Four endophytic bacteria OS-9, OS-10, OS-11, and OS-12 were isolated from healthy leaves of Ocimum sanctum. These isolated microbes were screened in dual culture against various phytopathogenic fungi viz. Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotium rolfsii, Fusarium solani, Alternaria solani, and Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. Of these, strain OS-9 was found to be antagonistic to R. solani, A. solani, F. solani, and C. lindemuthianum while OS-11 was found antagonistic against A. solani only. The growth-promoting benefits of the endophytes were initially evaluated in the glasshouse by inoculated seeds of O. sanctum. Treatment with endophytes OS-10 and OS-11 resulted in significant enhancement of growth as revealed by increase in fresh as well as dry weight. Further, field trials involving two genotypes OS Purple and CIM-Angana were conducted with strains OS-10 and OS-11. The growth-promoting effect was visible on both the genotypes tested as the endophytes significantly enhanced fresh herbage yield (t/ha). Interestingly, these endophytes increased the content of essential oil particularly in cultivar OS Purple and thereby increasing the total oil yields. Molecular characterization of strain OS-11 indicated the strain to be highly related to the type strain of Bacillus subtilis.  相似文献

Of nineteen commercial samples of carrot seed in use at Wellesbourne in 1963, eight were found to be infected with both Stemphylium radicinum and Alternaria dauci and five with S. radicinum alone. Both fungi caused damping-off of seedlings and when carrots were grown at high densities A. dauci caused severe foliar infection. Neither fungus gave rise to marked infection of ware crops at normal spacings but, when seed infected with S. radicinum was sown in the autumn, the resulting seed crop was heavily infected by the succeeding autumn. Spring-sown carrots grown in soil that had borne infected crops or contained debris infected with either fungus showed little or no infection in the autumn or after storage for 3 1/2 months; autumn-sown or spring-planted (steckling) carrots put into ground infected with S. radicinum showed severe infection in the following autumn. This suggested that ware-crop carrots were resistant to infection from the soil whereas the seed crop was not. Both fungi were eradicated from seed by a 24 hr. soak at 30d? C. in a 0.2% thiram suspension, but were not completely eliminated by seed dust treatments with a range of fungicides.  相似文献

Alternaria leaf spots of gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii H. Bolus ex J. D. Hook) were observed on plants from different greenhouses on commercial plants in Bulgaria. The symptoms of the disease on the leaves were characterized by the development of brown, small, scattered dots, which gradually enlarged and coalesced to form large, oval, circular or irregular, brown to black lesions with concentric rings. Affected plants showed lower vitality, suppressed development and fewer, smaller, distorted in shape flowers. Alternaria isolates, obtained from infected leaf tissues were grown in pure culture and the morphological characteristics of the colony and sporulation apparatus were determined. DNA, extracted from the fungal isolates was subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with primers ITS1/ITS4, amplifying the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. The resulting products were sequenced and compared for homology with other species in the GeneBank. The isolates showed 94% homology of the ITS region with either Alternaria alternata, A. arborescens, A. tenuissima, A. longipes, A. lini or A. smyrnii. None of the studied isolates was amplified with the A. alternata specific primers AAF2/AAR3, indicating that they are pathogenic varieties of it or belong to another species. Pathogenicity tests on 10 gerbera cultivars revealed that all of them were susceptible to Alternaria leaf spot. Additional tests on nine other crops (Solanum lycopersicum, Calendula officinalis, Capsicum annuum, Celosia argantea, Pelargonium spp., Petunia hybrida, Nicotiana tabacum, Cucurbita moscata and Raphanus sativus var. radicina) and on tomato or pepper fruits, potato tubers and carrot roots also indicated that all tested plant species were potential hosts of the disease. This is the first report of highly virulent isolates of Alternaria spp. in Bulgaria that cause leaf spots on gerbera in greenhouses.  相似文献

This study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of fruits of Syzygium cumini, against the mycelial growth of Alternaria alternata and Fusarium oxysporum. The results showed that ethanolic extract at the concentrations of 7.5 and 9?mg/ml completely inhibited the mycelial growth of A. alternata and F. oxysporum, respectively. While the aqueous extract at a highest tested concentration (37.5?mg/ml) exhibited only 27.86 and 37.23% inhibition of mycelial growth of A. alternata and F. oxysporum, respectively. The spore germination assay also showed the complete inhibition of spore germination of A. alternata and F. oxysporum by ethanolic extract at 50 and 60?mg/ml concentrations, respectively. Minimum inhibitory concentration was recorded as 0.039 and 0.156?mg/ml in ethanolic extract and 20 and 6.25?mg/ml in aqueous extract against A. alternata and F. oxysporum, respectively. Phytochemical analysis also showed the presence of high amount of phenolics, tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids and saponins.  相似文献

In this paper, thermal (8-13 µm) and hyperspectral imaging in visible and near infrared (VNIR) and short wavelength infrared (SWIR) ranges were used to elaborate a method of early detection of biotic stresses caused by fungal species belonging to the genus Alternaria that were host (Alternaria alternata, Alternaria brassicae, and Alternaria brassicicola) and non-host (Alternaria dauci) pathogens to oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.). The measurements of disease severity for chosen dates after inoculation were compared to temperature distributions on infected leaves and to averaged reflectance characteristics. Statistical analysis revealed that leaf temperature distributions on particular days after inoculation and respective spectral characteristics, especially in the SWIR range (1000-2500 nm), significantly differed for the leaves inoculated with A. dauci from the other species of Alternaria as well as from leaves of non-treated plants. The significant differences in leaf temperature of the studied Alternaria species were observed in various stages of infection development. The classification experiments were performed on the hyperspectral data of the leaf surfaces to distinguish days after inoculation and Alternaria species. The second-derivative transformation of the spectral data together with back-propagation neural networks (BNNs) appeared to be the best combination for classification of days after inoculation (prediction accuracy 90.5%) and Alternaria species (prediction accuracy 80.5%).  相似文献

A selection of 147 wheat D-genome and 130 barley genomic simple sequence repeat (gSSR) markers were screened for their utility in Hordeum chilense, as an alien donor genome for cereal breeding. Fifty-eight wheat D-genome and 71 barley PCR primer pairs consistently amplified products from H. chilense. Nineteen wheat D-genome and 20 barley gSSR markers were polymorphic and allowed wide genome coverage of the H. chilense genome. Twenty-three of the wheat D-genome and 11 barley PCR primer pairs were suitable for studying the introgressions of H. chilense into wheat, amplifying H. chilense products of distinct size. In 88% of the markers tested, H. chilense products were maintained in the expected homeologous linkage group, as revealed by the analysis of wheat/H. chilense addition lines. Twenty-nine microsatellite markers (eight gSSRs and 21 expressed sequence tags-SSRs) uniformly distributed across the genome were tested for their utility in genetic diversity analysis within the species. Three genetic clusters are reported, in accordance with previous morphological and amplified fragment length polymorphism data. These results show that it is possible to discriminate the three previously established germplasm groups with microsatellite markers. The reported markers represent a valuable resource for the genetic characterisation of H. chilense, for the analysis of its genetic variability, and as a tool for wheat introgression. This is the first intraspecific study in a collection of H. chilense germplasm using microsatellite markers.  相似文献

Protoplasts isolated from three accessions of cultivated carrot and 5-day-old protoplast-derived aggregates were subjected to selection to identify somaclonal variants with enhanced tolerance to the fungal disease black rot incited by Alternaria radicina. Different concentrations [1, 2, 3.5, 5, 10, 20, 35 and 50 % (v/v)] of a fungal culture filtrate (FCF) from 2-week-old liquid cultures of A. radicina were used. Protoplasts and aggregates were subjected to short-term selection for a period of 10 days. All FCF concentrations added to the cultures on the day of isolation decreased protoplast survival frequency and plating efficiency, while FCF applied 5 days later inhibited cell divisions in 5–50 % concentrations. The responses of protoplasts to the treatment were genotype dependent. Most R0 plants were regenerated in all accessions from cell lines grown with 1 % FCF, while only a few plants were produced from 2 to 3.5 % FCF-treated cultures of ‘Dolanka’ and the breeding line ‘9304B’, respectively. Nineteen-percent of putative stress-tolerant regenerants were tetraploids, while only 5 % tetraploids were observed in the control. The incidence of unique random amplified polymorphic DNA fragments indicating possible chromosomal rearrangements was low and did not differ among regenerants after selection and those derived from the control. Mobilization of miniature inverted repeat transposable elements was not observed. Some R0 individuals regenerated both from FCF-treated and untreated cultures showed lower susceptibility to A. radicina in a laboratory assay in comparison to control plants grown from seed. Regenerants from FCF-treated cultures showed lower frequency of flowering plants and a higher rate of male sterility. Pollen viability of the putative stress-tolerant regenerants varied over a wide range (6–98 %), independently of in vitro selection conditions. Our data suggest that A. radicina FCF may be feasible for the in vitro selection to generate plants with superior phenotypic performance against A. radicina.  相似文献

Summary Somatic hybrid plants were recovered following fusion of leaf mesophyll protoplasts isolated from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) cultivar UC82 with protoplasts isolated from suspension cultured cells of L. chilense, LA 1959. Iodoacetate was used to select against the growth of unfused tomato protoplasts. Two somatic hybrids were recovered in a population of 16 regenerants. No tomato regenerants were recovered; all of the non-hybrid regenerants were L. chilense. The L. chilense protoplast regenerants were tetraploid. The hybrid nature of the plants was verified using species-specific restriction fragment length polymorphisms for the nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes. The somatic hybrids had inherited the chloroplast DNA of the tomato parent, and portions of the mitochondrial DNA of the L. chilense parent. The somatic hybrids formed flowers and developed seedless fruit.  相似文献

Summary Diploid hybrids between Hordeum chilense and three other species, namely H. vulgare, H. bulbosum and Secale cereale, are described together with the amphidiploid of H. chilensexH. vulgare. Both the diploid hybrid and the amphidiploid of H. chilensexH. vulgare were chromosomally unstable, H. chilensexH. bulbosum was less so, while H. chilensexS. cereale was stable. Differential amphiplasty was found in all combinations. No homoeologous pairing was found in the Hordeum hybrids but in H. chilensexS. cereale there was chromosome pairing both within the two genomes and between the genomes.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of potassium phosphites for the control of anthracnose and the mode of action of these products on common bean plants against Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, comparing it with the standard resistance inducer acibenzolar‐S‐methyl. The protection of plants against anthracnose was evaluated in greenhouse after treatment with potassium phosphites (Phosphite A and B, 5.0 ml/L), acibenzolar‐S‐methyl (0.25 g/L), or no treatment (control). Two sprayings of the treatments were performed, respectively, at V4 stage (three trifoliate leaves) and at the R5 stage (flower buds present). The inoculation with C. lindemuthianum was performed 5 days after the first spraying. Phosphite formulations A and B reduced the severity of anthracnose by 68.7% and 55.6%, respectively, and the presence of phosphites in the leaf tissues were detected at concentrations between 1 and 3 mm by 7 days after spraying. These same concentrations of phosphites reduced the mycelial growth of C. lindemuthianum in vitro by 15.0% to 25.7%. In addition, the activities of defence enzymes and the levels of phenolic compounds and lignin were assessed. Phosphite treatments enhanced the activity of various enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, chitinase, and β‐1,3‐glucanase, and increased the lignin and a small increase in the levels of soluble phenolics. This study provides evidence that phosphite treatments control anthracnose by acting directly on C. lindemuthianum and by inducing the production of defence responses.  相似文献

This study reports the results of gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analyses of the essential oil of Angelica archangelica L. (Apiaceae) roots, as well as its in vitro antifungal activity against 10 plant pathogenic fungi. Moreover, the essential oil was evaluated for its antifungal activity using the agar dilution method, and also minimum inhibitory concentrations and minimum fungicidal concentrations were determined. The major compounds identified by GC–MS were α-pinene (21.3%), δ-3-carene (16.5%), limonene (16.4%), and α-phellandrene (8.7%). The oil showed in vitro antifungal activity against some species of the Fusarium genus, Botrytis cinerea, and Alternaria solani. Our study indicates that the oil of A. archangelica could be used as a control agent for plant pathogenic fungi in natural formulations.  相似文献
