We report a rapid diagnosis of soya bean (Glycine max L.) root rot caused by Fusarium culmorum, using a loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay. We used the CYP51C gene sequence to design LAMP assay primers specific for F. culmorum. The LAMP assay amplified the target gene efficiently in 60 min at 63°C. The sensitivity of the assay was 100 pg/μl of genomic DNA. Among the tested soya bean pathogens, a positive colour (sky blue) was only observed in the presence of F. culmorum with the addition of hydroxynaphthol blue (HNB) dye prior to amplification, whereas other species isolates showed no colour change. Suspected diseased soya bean samples collected in the field from Jiangsu, Shandong and Anhui provinces and Beijing were diagnosed successfully using the LAMP assay reported here. This study provides a new and readily available method for rapid diagnosis of soya bean root rot caused by F. culmorum. 相似文献

The options for managing Fusarium wilt in greenhouse cucumbers are limited by our poor understanding of the modes of survival and dissemination of the pathogen. This study uses a specific quantitative real‐time PCR assay for Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum to investigate the significance of flying insects as aerial vectors of the pathogen in a commercial cucumber greenhouse. Shore flies were more frequently detected (35.5%) carrying F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum than sciarids (25%), with both species carrying between 1 × 102 and 1 × 106 pathogen genome copies/individual. Sciarid and shore flies acquired F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum following exposures to agar cultures of the pathogen of up to 94 h. Light microscopy revealed that spores were carried externally on the bodies of the adult flies. The ability of adult sciarid flies to vector the pathogen from peat‐grown diseased cucumber plants and infect healthy cucumber plants was demonstrated in a caged glasshouse trial. An inoculum density trial showed that vascular wilt disease was initiated after inoculation of peat‐grown seedlings with as few as 1000 conidia. We conclude that sciarid and shore flies play significant roles as vectors of F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum in greenhouse cucumbers and need to be recognized in developing integrated crop management strategies. 相似文献

In the current study, 160 pathogenic strains of Fusarium oxysporum collected from tomato, eggplant and pepper were studied. Eighteen inter‐primer binding site (iPBS)‐retrotransposon primers were used, and these primers generated 205 scorable polymorphic bands. The number of polymorphic bands per primer varied between 9 and 19, with a mean of 11 bands per primer. The highest polymorphism information content (PIC) value was determined as 0.27, and the lowest was 0.05. The unweighted pair‐group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA) dendrogram including a heat map revealed that the 160 pathogenic strains of F. oxysporum were divided into two main clusters. The first cluster mainly included F. oxysporum f. sp. capsici (FOC) and F. oxysporum f. sp. melongenae (FOMG) isolates. The second cluster mainly comprised F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (FOL) and F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis lycopersici (FORL) isolates. The highest percentage of loci in significant linkage disequilibrium (LD) was detected for FOL, whereas the lowest level of LD was found for FOC, and 95.2%, 99.4%, 99.1% and 97.4% of the relative kinship estimates were less than 0.4 for FOL, FOMG, FORL and FOC, respectively. LD differences were detected among formae speciales, and LD was higher in FOL as compare to FOC species. The findings of this study confirm that iPBS‐retrotransposon markers are highly polymorphic at the intraspecific level in Fusarium spp. 相似文献

Thirteen species of weed plants were collected between May and September in 2010 and 2011 from eggplant fields representing 11 distinct locations covering a wide geographical area of Turkey. Weeds are potential hosts of many plant pathogens and may not exhibit disease symptoms when colonized. Fusarium spp. were isolated from five monocotyledonous species and eight dicotyledonous species. A total of 212 isolates recovered from weeds were assigned to eight Fusarium species on the basis of morphological characteristics. F. oxysporum was the most frequently isolated species (29.7%), followed by F. solani (19.8%), F. graminearum (13.7%), F. verticillioides (12.7%), F.equiseti (9.9%), F. avenacearum (8.0%), F. proliferatum (3.8%) and F. subglutinans (2.4%). The F. oxysporum isolates from different weed hosts were characterized by means of pathogenicity and vegetative compatibility grouping (VCG) tests. Among these, 29 isolates were found to be pathogenic to eggplant cv. Kemer and re‐isolated as Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. f. sp. melongenae (Fomg) as evidenced. These isolates from weed hosts were assigned to VCG 0320. This study is the first report of Fomg isolated from weeds in eggplant fields in Turkey. None of the weed species tested showed symptoms of wilting in pot experiments, and F. oxysporum was isolated with greater frequency from all inoculated weeds. The results of this study indicate that several weed plants may serve as alternative sources of inoculum for Fomg, during the growing season. 相似文献

A rapid, sensitive and visual loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for detecting Acidovorax citrulli in cucurbit seed was developed in this study. The LAMP primers were designed to recognize the non‐ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) gene (locus tag: Aave_4658) from A. citrulli. The LAMP assay was conducted at 64°C in 1 hr with calcein as an indicator. The sensitivity and specificity of the LAMP assay were further compared with those of a conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The LAMP assay is highly specific to A. citrulli, and no cross‐reaction was observed with other bacterial pathogen. The sensitivity of the LAMP assay was 100‐fold higher than that of conventional PCR with a detection limit of 1 pg of genomic DNA. Using the LAMP assay, 7 of 12 cantaloupe seedlots collected from Xinjiang province were determined to be positive for A. citrulli. In contrast, only 2 of 12 seedlots showed positive for the pathogen with conventional PCR. Moreover, A. citrulli was detected in 100% of artificially infested seedlots with 0.01% infestation or greater. Our results demonstrated that the LAMP assay was simple, visual and sensitive for detecting A. citrulli, especially in seed health testing. Hence, this method has great potential application in routine detecting seed‐borne pathogens and reducing the risk of epidemics. 相似文献

The rhizosphere is a multitrophic environment, and for soilborne pathogens such as Fusarium oxysporum, microbial competition in the rhizosphere is inevitable before reaching and infecting roots. This study established a tritrophic interaction among the plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium Burkholderia ambifaria, F. oxysporum and Glycine max (soybean) to study the effects of F. oxysporum genes on shaping the soybean microbiota. Although B. ambifaria inhibited mycelial growth and increased bacterial propagation in the presence of F. oxysporum, F. oxysporum still managed to infect soybean in the presence of B. ambifaria. RNA-Seq identified a putative F. oxysporum secretory β-lactamase-coding gene, FOXG_18438 (abbreviated as Fo18438), that is upregulated during soybean infection in the presence of B. ambifaria. The ∆Fo18438 mutants displayed reduced mycelial growth towards B. ambifaria, and the complementation of full Fo18438 and the Fo18438 β-lactamase domain restored mycelial growth. Using the F. oxysporum wild type, ∆Fo18438 mutants and complemented strains with full Fo18438, Fo18438 β-lactamase domain or Fo18438 RTA1-like domain for soil inoculation, 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing revealed that the abundance of a Burkholderia operational taxonomic unit (OTU) was increased in the rhizosphere microbiota infested by the strains with Fo18438 β-lactamase domain. Non-metric multidimensional scaling and PICRUSt2 functional analysis revealed differential abundance for the bacterial β-lactam-related functions when contrasting the genotypes of F. oxysporum. These results indicated that the Fo18438 β-lactamase domain provides F. oxysporum with the advantage of growing into the soybean rhizosphere, where β-lactam antibiosis is involved in microbial competition. Accordingly, this study highlights the capability of an F. oxysporum gene for altering the soybean rhizosphere and taproot microbiota. 相似文献

Aims: To develop a rapid and simple system for detection of Bacillus anthracis using a loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method and determine the suitability of LAMP for rapid identification of B. anthracis infection. Methods and Results: A specific LAMP assay targeting unique gene sequences in the bacterial chromosome and two virulence plasmids, pXO1 and pXO2, was designed. With this assay, it was possible to detect more than 10 fg of bacterial DNA per reaction and obtain results within 30–40 min under isothermal conditions at 63°C. No cross‐reactivity was observed among Bacillus cereus group and other Bacillus species. Furthermore, in tests using blood specimens from mice inoculated intranasally with B. anthracis spores, the sensitivity of the LAMP assay following DNA extraction methods using a Qiagen DNeasy kit or boiling protocol was examined. Samples prepared by both methods showed almost equivalent sensitivities in LAMP assay. The detection limit was 3·6 CFU per test. Conclusions: The LAMP assay is a simple, rapid and sensitive method for detecting B. anthracis. Significance and Impact of the Study: The LAMP assay combined with boiling extraction could be used as a simple diagnostic method for identification of B. anthracis infection. 相似文献

Phytophthora nicotianae is an important soilborne plant pathogen. It causes black shank in tobacco and other commercially important crop diseases. Early and accurate detection of P. nicotianae is essential for controlling these diseases. In this study, primers based on the Ras‐related protein gene (Ypt1) of P. nicotianae were tested for their specific detection of the pathogen using nested PCR and LAMP assays. For specificity testing, DNA extracts from 47 P. nicotianae isolates, 45 isolates of 16 different oomycetes and 25 isolates of other fungal species were used; no cross‐reaction with other pathogens was observed. The sensitivity assay showed that the nested PCR and LAMP assays had detection limits of 100 fg and 10 fg genomic DNA per 25‐μl reaction, respectively. Furthermore, the nested PCR and LAMP assays were used for the detection of DNA from naturally P. nicotianae‐infected tobacco tissues and soil. Our results suggest that the LAMP assay has the greatest potential for the specific detection of P. nicotianae in regions that are at risk of contracting tobacco black shank disease and that the Ypt1 gene is a novel and effective target of P. nicotianae LAMP visual detection. 相似文献

Rice bakanae is an important disease that causes serious rice production loss worldwide. We describe a new method for rapid diagnosis of rice bakanae caused by Fusarium fujikuroi and F. proliferatum, based on loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays. After screening, primers were selected to target FusariumDNA sequences, that is, the intergenic spacer (IGS) region of the nuclear ribosomal operon and reductase‐coding region (RED1) in F. fujikuroi and F. proliferatum, respectively. Both LAMP assays efficiently amplified target genes in 70 min at 62°C. A colour change from purple to sky blue (visible to the unaided eye) was observed in the presence of the DNA of the targeted pathogens only, by adding hydroxynaphthol blue to the reaction system prior to amplification. The minimum of genomic DNA needed in the assays was 67 and 346 pg/μl for F. fujikuroi and F. proliferatum, respectively. Using the two assays described here, we successfully and rapidly diagnosed suspected diseased rice plant and seed samples collected from Jiangsu Province. 相似文献

First Report of Stem Canker on Phoenix Tree (Firmiana simplex) Caused by Fusarium oxysporum in China
Li‐Xin Zhang Jiang‐Hua Song Jing‐Ting Shen Gen‐Jia Tan Sha‐Sha Li Fei Ding 《Journal of Phytopathology》2013,161(2):128-130
A stem canker disease was observed on the phoenix trees located in the region of Dezhou, Shandong province. Symptomatic stems were collected and evaluated for the possible casual agent of the disease. A fungus resembling Fusarium sp. was consistently isolated from pieces of symptomatic tissues. The fungus formed abundant aerial mycelium on potato dextrose agar and produced the micro‐ and macro‐conidia on carnation leaf agar. The nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer of the rDNA from three representative isolates showed 100% identical to those of Fusarium oxysporum isolates deposited in the GenBank database. On the basis of morphological characteristics, pathogenicity test and molecular identification, the causal agent was identified as F. oxysporum. To our knowledge, this is the first report of stem canker on phoenix tree caused by F. oxysporum in China. 相似文献

Aims: The purpose of this study was to develop a loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for the rapid, sensitive and simple detection of Vibrio alginolyticus in mariculture fish. Methods and Results: LAMP primers were designed by targeting the gyrB gene. With Bst DNA polymerase, the target DNA can be clearly amplified for 60 min at 64°C in a simple water bath. The detection sensitivity of the LAMP assay for the detection of V. alginolyticus is about 3·7 × 102 CFU ml?1 (3·7 CFU per reaction). LAMP products could be judged with agar gel or naked eye after the addition of SYBR Green I. There were no cross‐reactions with other bacterial strains indicating a high specificity of the LAMP. The LAMP method was applied to detect V. alginolyticus‐infected fish tissues effectively. Conclusions: The LAMP established in this study is a simple, sensitive, specific, inexpensive and rapid protocol for the detection of V. alginolyticus. Significance and Impact of the Study: This LAMP method provides an important diagnostic tool for the detection of V. alginolyticus infection both in the laboratory and field. 相似文献

To identify Fusarium species associated with diseases of root and basal plate of onion, surveys were conducted in seven provinces of Turkey in 2007. Samplings were performed in 223 fields, and 332 isolates belonging to 7 Fusarium spp. were obtained. The isolates were identified as F. oxysporum, F. solani, F. acuminatum, F. equiseti, F. proliferatum, F. redolens, and F. culmorum based on morphological and cultural characteristics. Also, species‐specific primers were used to confirm the identity of Fusarium species. F. oxysporum was the most commonly isolated species, comprising 66.57% of the total Fusarium species. F. redolens was identified for the first time in onion‐growing areas of Turkey. Selected isolates of each species were evaluated for their aggressiveness on onion plant. F. oxysporum, F. solani, F. acuminatum, F. proliferatum, and F. redolens were highly pathogenic, causing severe damping‐off on onion plants cv. Texas Early Grano. Inter‐simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers revealed a high degree of intra‐ and interspecific polymorphisms among Fusarium spp. 相似文献

Burkholderia gladioli pv. alliicola is a causal agent of rot on a wide range of hosts including onion and tulip. It is one of quarantine phytopathogenic bacteria in China. To reduce the economic losses associated with this pathogen, simple and rapid detection methods are needed. In this study, an efficient loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay with a real‐time fluorometer was developed. The analysis of 16S‐23S rRNA intergenic transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences showed considerable variability between different Burkholderia species and B. gradioli pathovars. A set of LAMP primers was designed based on the ITS region. The sensitivity and specificity of the developed assay were evaluated at the optimal temperature of 65°C. The primers were specific for B. gladioli pv. alliicola and did not react to strains of others species and other pathovars in the species B. gladioli. The sensitivity of the real‐time LAMP assay was 1 fg DNA which was 100 times higher than that of conventional PCR. The method was verified by testing natural samples and inoculated onion seeds, and it showed effectiveness. The real‐time LAMP assay established in this study is an effective method for detection of B. gladioli pv. alliicola. 相似文献

Shoot and branch canker and tree decline of kumquat (Fortunella margarita cv. Guban) were recorded in Yangshuo County, Guilin City, in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China during 2008–2011. Fusarium oxysporum and a new Fusarium species within the Gibberella fujikuroi complex (Fusarium sp. GLB1) were isolated repeatedly from the infected shoots and branches. Species identifications were verified by their high translation elongation factor 1‐alpha (TEF1) sequence similarity with those of the species epitypes. Koch's postulates were fulfilled on kumquat (cv. Guban) and mandarin establishing pathogenicity. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Fusarium shoot canker disease caused by F. oxysporum and Fusarium sp. on kumquat. 相似文献

Fusarium wilt is one of the most serious diseases affecting cotton. However, the pathogenesis and mechanism by which Fusarium oxysporum overcomes plant defence responses are unclear. Here, a new group D mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) gene, GhMPK20, was identified and functionally analysed in cotton. GhMPK20 expression was significantly induced by F. oxysporum. Virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) of GhMPK20 in cotton increased the tolerance to F. oxysporum, whereas ectopic GhMPK20 overexpression in Nicotiana benthamiana reduced F. oxysporum resistance via disruption of the salicylic acid (SA)‐mediated defence pathway. More importantly, an F. oxysporum‐induced MAPK cascade pathway composed of GhMKK4, GhMPK20 and GhWRKY40 was identified. VIGS of GhMKK4 and GhWRKY40 also enhanced F. oxysporum resistance in cotton, and the function of GhMKK4–GhMPK20 was shown to be essential for F. oxysporum‐induced GhWRKY40 expression. Together, our results indicate that the GhMKK4–GhMPK20–GhWRKY40 cascade in cotton plays an important role in the pathogenesis of F. oxysporum. This research broadens our knowledge of the negative role of the MAPK cascade in disease resistance in cotton and provides an important scientific basis for the formulation of Fusarium wilt prevention strategies. 相似文献

The antifungal activity of chitosan against Fusarium spp. was investigated based on in vitro and in vivo assays, and its possible modes of action were also explored. Chitosan applied at 4.0 g/L of acetic acid-distilled water solution significantly decreased the mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium sambucinum and Fusarium graminearum by 88.4%, 89.0% and 89.8%, respectively. Tuber treatment by chitosan (4.0 g/L) of acetic acid-distilled water solution, prior to inoculation, reduced dry rot severity induced by F. oxysporum and F. sambucinum by 60.0% and 48.2%, respectively. When tested as plant treatment, potato plants inoculated with Fusarium species, exhibited 33.5%–45.3% less wilting severity as compared to the control. This abiotic treatment improved the phenolic compounds activities and defence-related enzymes such as peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase in potato tubers inoculated with Fusarium spp. Results clearly demonstrated that chitosan could be explored as an alternative agent to chemical fungicides for the control of tuber dry rot and Fusarium wilt through induction of the plant defence system. 相似文献

Cultivated soybean (Glycine max) was derived from the wild soybean (Glycine soja), which has genetic resources that can be critically important for improving plant stress resistance. However, little information is available pertaining to the molecular and physiochemical comparison between the cultivated and wild soybeans in response to the pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum Schltdl. In this study, we first used comparative phenotypic and paraffin section analyses to indicate that wild soybean is indeed more resistant to F. oxysporum than cultivated soybean. Genome‐wide RNA‐sequencing approach was then used to elucidate the genetic mechanisms underlying the differential physiological and biochemical responses of the cultivated soybean, and its relative, to F. oxysporum. A greater number of genes related to cell wall synthesis and hormone metabolism were significantly altered in wild soybean than in cultivated soybean under F. oxysporum infection. Accordingly, a higher accumulation of lignins was observed in wild soybean than cultivated soybean under F. oxysporum infection. Collectively, these results indicated that secondary metabolites and plant hormones may play a vital role in differentiating the response between cultivated and wild soybeans against the pathogen. These important findings may provide future direction to breeding programs to improve resistance to F. oxysporum in the elite soybean cultivars by taking advantage of the genetic resources within wild soybean germplasm. 相似文献

Aims
Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei is an emerging microsporidian parasite that has been linked to recent losses caused by white faeces syndrome (WFS) in cultivated giant or black tiger shrimp Penaeus (Penaeus) monodon and whiteleg shrimp Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei in Asia. To more accurately assess its impact on shrimp production and to determine reservoir carriers for control measures, our objective was to establish a loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay combined with colorimetric nanogold (AuNP) for rapid, sensitive and inexpensive detection of this parasite.Methods and Results
A set of six specific primers was designed to successfully detect the SSU rRNA gene of E. hepatopenaei by a LAMP reaction of 45 min at 65°C combined with visual detection of the amplification product via hybridization at 65°C for 5 min with a ssDNA‐labelled nanogold probe, followed by salt‐induced AuNP aggregation (total assay time, approximately 50 min). This method gave similar results to LAMP followed by electrophoresis or spectrophotometric detection, and it was more sensitive (0·02 fg total DNA) than a conventional nested PCR (0·2 fg total DNA). The new method gave negative results with shrimp DNA templates extracted from diseased shrimp containing other pathogens, indicating that the LAMP‐AuNP assay was specific for E. hepatopenaei.Conclusions
Without sacrificing sensitivity or specificity, the new LAMP‐AuNP assay significantly reduced the time, ease and cost for molecular detection of E. hepatopenaei in shrimp.Significance and Impact of the study
The new method employs simple, inexpensive equipment and involves simple steps making it applicable for small field laboratories. Wider application of the method to screen broodstock before use in a hatchery, to screen postlarvae before stocking shrimp ponds, to test for natural carriers and to monitor shrimp in rearing ponds would help to assess and reduce the negative impact of this parasite in shrimp farming. 相似文献19.

Fusarium oxysporum is one of the major pathogens causing root and crown rot in asparagus. Breeding of cultivars resistant to F. oxysporum would be the most efficient strategy for pathogen control. In this study, a bioassay was developed for screening seedling resistance. The non‐destructive bioassay comprises inoculation with a highly aggressive F. oxysporum isolate, incubation in a climate chamber and quantification of disease symptoms by a digital image analysing system and a PTA‐ELISA. This bioassay is simple to implement and demonstrated high reproducibility. Subsequently, it was used to determine the resistance behaviour of 16 asparagus genotypes to F. oxysporum. The asparagus cultivars revealed different levels of susceptibility, whereas the wild relative A. densiflorus was confirmed to be resistant. 相似文献
