In three separate experiments, the upper leaf surface of the fifth formed leaf of wheat cv. Highbury, the fourth and fifth leaves of barley cv. Julia and the third and fourth leaves of oat cv. Mostyn were inoculated in a spore settling tower with wheat brown rust (Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici), barley brown rust (P. hordei) or oat crown rust (P. coronata f. sp. avenae), respectively. Fewer pustules developed on distal portions of leaves of plants infected with barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) than on similar portions of leaves from virus-free plants. There were no significant differences in the number of pustules on proximal leaf portions. In barley and oats, the number of pustules on distal leaf portions was negatively correlated with the amount of yellowing of the leaf areas scored. In wheat, symptoms of BYDV were mild and leaves were little affected by yellowing. The latent period of rust on wheat and oats was not affected by BYDV. In barley, BYDV reduced the latent period of rust on leaf 5, but not on leaf 4, and reduced it on proximal, but not distal, leaf portions. In other experiments, BYDV reduced the yield of wheat and oats by 44% and 66%, respectively, while BYDV-infected barley was almost sterile. The appropriate rust reduced the yield of wheat, barley and oats by 33%, 13% and 86%, respectively. When infected with both BYDV and rust, yield of wheat and oats was reduced by 63% and 91%, respectively. Neither BYDV nor rust affected the percentage crude protein content of wheat grain, nor did rust affect that of barley. In oats, BYDV and rust each significantly increased crude protein of grain, but rust infection of BYDV-infected plants tended to reduce it.  相似文献

Field-caged populations of the rose-grain aphid Metopolophium dirhodum were established on winter wheat (cv. Bounty) during the summer of 1981. An early wheat growth stage (G.s.) (40 to 69) and a late (G.s. 65 to 73) aphid infestation treatment were compared; only the early infestation resulted in a significant reduction in grain weight (15%), although the infestation sizes were similar in the two treatments. Baking quality of the flour was unaffected by both treatments. Caged populations were also established on winter wheat (cv. Avalon) in 1982 but, in spite of aphid numbers as large as in 1981, no significant yield loss was recorded. An infection of take-all fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis developed during the course of this experiment and may have masked the effect of the aphids.  相似文献

Planting date effects on arthropod infestation and viral plant disease are undocumented for winter wheat, Triticum aestivum L., in South Dakota and the northern Great Plains. Winter wheat was planted over three dates (early, middle, and late; generally from late August to late September) to determine the effect on abundance of insect pests, incidence of plant damage, incidence of viral plant disease, and grain yield. The study was conducted simultaneously at two sites in South Dakota over three consecutive cropping seasons for a total of six site yr. Cereal aphids (Homoptera: Aphididae) were abundant in three site yr. Rhopalosiphum padi (L.), bird cherry-oat aphid, was the most abundant cereal aphid at the Brookings site, whereas Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), greenbug, predominated at Highmore. Aphid-days were greater in early versus late plantings. Aphid abundance in middle plantings depended on aphid species and site, but it usually did not differ from that in early plantings. Incidence of Barley yellow dwarf virus (family Luteoviridae, genus Luteovirus, BYDV) declined with later planting and was correlated with autumnal abundance of cereal aphids. Incidence of BYDV ranged from 24 to 81% among 1999 plantings and was < 8% in other years. Damage to seedling wheat by chewing insects varied for two site-years, with greater incidence in early and middle plantings. Wheat streak mosaic virus, spring infestations of cereal aphids, wheat stem maggot, and grasshoppers were insignificant. Yield at Brookings was negatively correlated with BYDV incidence but not cereal aphid abundance, whereas yield at Highmore was negatively correlated with aphid abundance but not BYDV incidence. Planting on 20 September or later reduced damage from chewing insects and reduced cereal aphid infestations and resulting BYDV incidence.  相似文献

Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) has been identified in the Central region of the Ukraine. BYDV infection in winter wheat crops was shown to be highly harmful. There were no winter wheat cultivars being resistent to BYDV and tolerant cultivars occured rarely. In particular seasons BYDV may give rise to widescale epithoties.  相似文献

A late blight epidemic studied at Toluca, Mexico, in 1962 may have started from stems infected at soil level by soil-borne Phytophthora infestans. Its severity was demonstrated by the large differences in the rate foliage was destroyed and in yield of tubers between fungicide-sprayed and unsprayed susceptible and resistant cultivars. The foliage resistances of some Mexican and European cultivars were compared using conventional blight keys and recording the destruction of marked leaves. Cultivars reacted in four ways: (1) Up-to-Date and Alpha leaves were infected and killed soon after plants emerged; (2) Bertita, Conchita and Florita abscissed many infected lower-canopy leaves, and many infections on upper leaves aborted; (3) Elenita leaves had a few lesions in which the fungus grew slowly but remained alive; (4) Greta showed no infection until the potato plants met between rows but then infections developed rapidly and the foliage soon died. Mexican cultivars, except for Elenita, had few blighted tubers; susceptible European cultivars were killed before many tubers formed. Most spores were released during the morning, as in Europe, and leaf infection seemed associated with days with rain when much of the night remained humid. Cool nights lengthened incubation and generation times.  相似文献

The interactions between barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) and Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by Fusarium graminearum, were studied in the two winter wheat cultivars (cvs.), Agent (susceptible to FHB) and Petrus (moderately resistant to FHB), using ultrastructural and immunocytochemical methods. Infections of wheat plants of both cvs. by BYDV increased susceptibility to FHB. BYDV infection caused numerous cytological changes in lemma tissue of both cvs. such as formation of vesicles in the cytoplasm, degradation of fine structures of chloroplasts of both cvs. and accumulation of large starch grains in the chloroplasts. Electron microscopical studies showed that the development of F. graminearum on spike surfaces was not affected in BYDV‐infected plants. After penetration and intercellular growth in lemma tissue, defence responses to Fusarium infections were markedly reduced in BYDV‐diseased plants compared to the tissue of virus‐free plants. At sites of contact of fungal cells with host tissue, depositions of cell wall material were distinctly less pronounced than in tissues of virus‐free plants of cv. Petrus. Detection of β‐1,3‐glucanases and chitinases in lemma tissue of cv. Agent revealed no appreciably increased accumulation of both defence enzymes in F. graminearum‐infected virus‐free and BYDV‐infected tissues compared to the non‐infected control tissue. On the other hand, in cv. Petrus, infection with F. graminearum induced a markedly enhanced activity of both enzymes 3 days after inoculation. The increase of both enzyme activities was less pronounced in BYDV‐infected plants than in tissue exclusively infected with F. graminearum. Cytological studies suggest that in contrast to the susceptible cv. Agent postinfectional defence responses may play still an important role in the resistance of the moderately resistant cv. Petrus to FHB.  相似文献

During the years 1989–1992 cereal aphids were caught alive in a low level (1.5 m high) suction trap operated in Le Rheu (Brittany, France) and tested for BYDV transmission. In most cases comparisons with data collected simultaneously by a 12.2 m suction trap operating in the same site resulted in good relationships between weekly catches at both heights. Results from transmission tests showed that: (i) the two main BYDV vectors were Rhopalosiphum padi and Metopolophium dirhodum during the years of experiment; (ii) PAV and MAV were the commonest viruses and RPV was relatively scarce; (iii) during spring M. dirhodum appeared to be the most important MAV vector and nearly as good a PAV vector as R. padi; (iv) during autumn R. padi was the only vector of the three viruses with mixed transmission allowing it to transmit also MAV probably by heteroencapsidation. To give an indication of the risk of infection, infectivity indices were calculated by multiplying the numbers of aphids caught by the 12.2 m suction trap by the proportion that were infective. These infectivity indices agreed with field records of primary infections.  相似文献

Thermotolerant Emericella nidulans NK-62 was isolated from bird nesting material and was tested for its ability to produce xylanase. The fungus when grown on a medium containing wheat bran (2% w/v) supplemented with Czapek's mineral salt solution at 45 °C for 7 days produced 362 IU/ml of xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8). The specific activity of E. nidulans NK-62 xylanase was found to be 275 IU/mg of total protein. The enzyme was found to be active over a broad temperature and pH range with 60 °C as optimum temperature for enzyme activity. The enzyme was stable at 50 °C and its half-life at 55 °C was 45 min. -xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.37) and carboxymethylcellulase (EC 3.2.1.4) activities, 0.018 and 0.21 IU/ml respectively, were also noticed. The fungus was screened for its ability to produce xylanase on four different lignocellulosic substrates. It produced 318.9 IU/ml of cellulase-free xylanase on corn cobs. The fungus could also utilize lentil bran (seed husk of Lens esculentus) and meal of groundnut shells to produce 84.8 and 17.3 IU/ml xylanase respectively.  相似文献

One hundred and forty six barley doubled-haploid lines (DH lines) were tested for variation in grain yield, yield components, plant height, and heading date after artificial infection with a German isolate of barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV-PAV-Braunschweig). Of these 146 lines 76 were derived from the cross of the barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) tolerant cultivar ’Post’ to cv ’Vixen’ (Ryd2) and 70 from the cross of Post to cv ’Nixe’. Phenotypic measurements were gathered on both non-infected plants and plants artificially inoculated with BYDV-PAV by viruliferous aphids in pot and field experiments for three years at two locations. For all traits a continuous variation was observed suggesting a quantitative mode of inheritance for tolerance against BYDV-PAV. Using skeleton maps constructed using SSRs, AFLPs and RAPDs, two QTLs for relative grain yield per plant after BYDV infection, explaining about 47% of the phenotypic variance, were identified in Post × Vixen at the telomeric region of chromosome 2HL and at a region containing the Ryd2 gene on chromosome 3HL. In Post × Nixe, a QTL was found in exactly the same chromosome 2HL marker interval. In this cross, additional QTL were mapped on chromosomes 7H and 4H and together these explained about 40% of the phenotypic variance. QTL for effects of BYDV infection on yield components, plant height, and heading date generally mapped to the same marker intervals, or in the vicinity of the QTL for relative grain yield, on chromosomes 2HL and 3HL, suggesting that these regions are of special importance for tolerance to the Braunschweig isolate of BYDV-PAV. Possible applications of marker-assisted selection for BYDV tolerance based on these results are discussed. Received: 1 December 2000 / Accepted: 9 March 2001  相似文献

2,4-Dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one (DIMBOA), a hydroxamic acid (Hx) occurring in wheat, was shown to deter feeding by the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi (L.), and to reduce BYDV transmission to the plant. Dual choice tests with wheat leaves showed the preferential settlement of aphids on leaves with lower levels of DIMBOA. Electric monitoring of aphid feeding behaviour showed that in seedlings with higher DIMBOA levels fewer aphids reached the phloem and they needed longer times to contact a phloem vessel than in those with lower levels. When aphids carrying BYDV were allowed to feed on wheat cultivars with different DIMBOA levels, fewer plants were infected with BYDV in the higher DIMBOA cultivars than in the lower ones. Preliminary field experiments showed a tendency for wheat cultivars with higher Hx levels to be more tolerant to infection by BYDV than lower Hx level ones.  相似文献

Seasonal changes in incubation time of Erysiphe graminis f.sp. hordei.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Incubation time of Erysiphe graminis f.sp. hordei varied seasonally, but between early May and late September it was always between 5 and 8 days. This is approximately the time of year when the 30-year weekly mean air temperature exceeds 10oC. Amount of infection during summer was decreased by hot, dry weather. In winter, incubation times were more variable and long incubation times were usually associated with few infections. Variation in incubation time during the summer is unlikely to be of practical importance in determining the rate of epidemic development.  相似文献

Barley yellow dwarf (BYD) is one of the most common diseases of cereal crops, caused by the phloem‐limited, cereal aphid‐borne Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) (Luteoviridae). Delayed planting and controlling aphid vector numbers with insecticides have been the primary approaches to manage BYD. There is limited research on nitrogen (N) application effects on plant growth, N status, and water use in the BYDV pathosystem in the absence of aphid control. Such information will be essential in developing a post‐infection management plan for BYDV‐infected cereals. Through a greenhouse study, we assessed whether manipulation of N supply to BYDV‐infected winter wheat, Triticum aestivum L. (Poaceae), in the presence or absence of the aphid vector Rhopalosiphum padi L. (Hemiptera: Aphididae), could improve N and/or water uptake, and subsequently promote plant growth. Similar responses of shoot biomass and of water and N use efficiencies to various N application rates were observed in both BYDV‐infected and non‐infected plants, suggesting that winter wheat plants with only BYDV infection may be capable of outgrowing infection by the virus. Plants, which simultaneously hosted aphids and BYDV, suffered more severe symptoms and possessed higher virus loads than those infected with BYDV only. Moreover, in plants hosting both BYDV and aphids, aphid pressure was positively associated with N concentration within plant tissue, suggesting that N application and N concentration within foliar tissue may alter BYDV replication indirectly through their influence on aphid reproduction. Even though shoot biomass, tissue N concentration, and water use efficiency increased in response to increased N application, decision‐making on N fertilization to plants hosting both BYDV and aphids should take into consideration the potential of aphid outbreak and/or the possibility of reduced plant resilience to environmental stresses due to decreased root growth.  相似文献

The tripartite interactions in a pathosystem involving wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), the Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV), and the BYDV vector aphid Sitobion avenae were studied under field conditions to determine the impact of these interactions on aphid populations, virus pathology and grain yield. Wheat varietal resistance to BYDV and aphids varied among the three wheat varieties studied over two consecutive years. The results demonstrated that (1) aphid peak number (APN) in the aphid + BYDV (viruliferous aphid) treatment was greater and occurred earlier than that in the non-viruliferous aphid treatment. The APN and the area under the curve of population dynamics (AUC) on a S. avenae-resistant variety 98-10-30 was significantly lower than on two aphid-susceptible varieties Tam200(13)G and Xiaoyan6. (2) The production of alatae (PA) was greater on the variety 98-10-30 than on the other varieties, and PA was greater in the aphid + BYDV treatment on 98-10-30 than in the non-viruliferous aphid treatment, but this trend was reversed on Tam200(13)G and Xiaoyan6. (3) The BYDV disease incidence (DIC) on the variety 98-10-30 was greater than that on the other two varieties in 2012, and the disease index (DID) on Tam200(13)G was lower than on the other varieties in the aphid + BYDV and BYDV treatments in 2012, but not in 2011 when aphid vector numbers were generally lower. (4) Yield loss in the aphid + BYDV treatment tended to be greater than that in the aphid or BYDV alone treatments across varieties and years. We suggested that aphid population development and BYDV transmission tend to promote each other under field conditions. The aphids + BYDV treatment caused greater yield reductions than non-viruliferous aphids or virus treatment. Wheat varietal resistance in 98-10-30 affects the aphid dispersal, virus transmission and wheat yield loss though inhibits aphid populations from increasing.  相似文献

Individual S. avenae and M. dirhodum excreted significantly fewer droplets of honeydew on plants infected with BYDV than on healthy plants. S. avenae excreted less honeydew on the ears than on the leaves of wheat. M. dirhodum excreted less than S. avenae on the leaves. The size of honeydew droplets increased with the age of aphids but was not affected by BYDV infection. Possible reasons for the observed effects of BYDV on honeydew excretion are discussed.  相似文献

Prior infection of both wheat and barley plants by BYDV predisposed their ears to infection by Cladosporium spp. and Verticillium spp. Aphids and honeydew increased the incidence of Cladosporium on wheat ears but not on barley. This difference between crops was attributed to the larger number ot aphids on the wheat. In the glasshouse, aphids and honeydew, but not honeydew alone, increased Cladosporium populations.  相似文献

We analysed interactions in the system of two Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) strains (MAV and PAV), and wheat (cv. Tinos) as host plant for the virus, and the cereal aphid Sitobion avenae (F.) as vector, in particular whether or not infection by the virus might alter host plant suitability in favour of vector development. By measuring the amino acid and sugar content in the phloem sap of infected and non‐infected wheat plants we found a significant reduction in the concentration of the total amount of amino acids on BYDV‐infected plants. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of honeydew and honeydew excretion indicated a lower efficiency of phloem sap utilisation by S. avenae on infected plants. In addition, S. avenae excreted less honeydew on infected plants. Both BYDV strains significantly affected aphid development by a reduction in the intrinsic rate of natural increase. Hence, infection by the virus reduced the host suitability in terms of aphid population growth potential on BYDV‐infected plants. However, more alate morphs developed on virus‐infected plants. These findings are discussed in relation to the population dynamics of S. avenae, and, as a consequence, the spread of BYDV.  相似文献

The tolerance of spring and winter varieties of wheat, oats and barley to infection by barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) was examined in glasshouse tests. Severely affected plants were stunted and grain yields were considerably decreased because of decreases in both ear number and numbers and sizes of grains. Winter barley varieties were very susceptible and many were killed by BYDV infection. The winter wheat varieties were more widely tolerant than those of oats and barley. Individual seedling symptoms, although correlated with reductions in yield, could not be relied upon for accurate classification of all varieties in order of their susceptibility to infection. Symptoms of seedling infection incorporated into an index of infection permit estimates to be made o eventual decreases in yield by applying the formula DY = 1.4 × (SH+LA+LL)+18. Thus decrease in grain yield (DY) can be related to decreases in height (SH) and leaf length (LL) and increases in leaf area discoloured (LA) in seedling plants infected with BYDV.  相似文献

Infections by more than one strain of a pathogen predominate under natural conditions. Mixed infections can have significant, though often unpredictable, consequences for overall virulence, pathogen transmission and evolution. However, effects of mixed infection on disease development in plants often remain unclear and the critical factors that determine the outcome of mixed infections remain unknown. The fungus Zymoseptoria tritici forms genetically diverse infections in wheat fields. Here, for a range of pathogen traits, we experimentally decompose the infection process to determine how the outcomes and consequences of mixed infections are mechanistically realized. Different strains of Z. tritici grow in close proximity and compete in the wheat apoplast, resulting in reductions in growth of individual strains and in pathogen reproduction. We observed different outcomes of competition at different stages of the infection. Overall, more virulent strains had higher competitive ability during host colonization, and less virulent strains had higher transmission potential. We showed that within-host competition can have a major effect on infection dynamics and pathogen population structure in a pathogen and host genotype-specific manner. Consequently, mixed infections likely have a major effect on the development of septoria tritici blotch epidemics and the evolution of virulence in Z. tritici.  相似文献

Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDVs) is an emerging threat for wheat and may seriously threaten its production, especially as climate change may result in increased infestation by aphids, the insect vectors of the virus. To assess the possibility of using pathogen‐derived resistance against the virus, the genetic diversity of BYDVs originating from different wheat‐growing areas of Pakistan where its incidence has been higher was investigated. Wheat samples with suspected symptoms of BYDVs were screened for the presence of Barley yellow dwarf and Cereal yellow dwarf viruses (B/CYDVs) subgroup 1 (Barley yellow dwarf virus‐PAV, BYDV‐MAV, BYDV‐SGV) and subgroup II (BYDV‐RPV, CYDVRPV, BYDV‐GPV) by PCR using basic multiplex oligonucleotides designed on coat protein (CP) of the virus. Of 37 samples tested, 13 were positive for BYDV subgroup I and only one sample was positive for BYDV subgroup II. Samples positive for subgroup I were further tested by PCR, and results showed that 10 samples were positive for BYDV‐PAV and three for BYDV‐MAV. DNA sequences of CP region of nine isolates (BYDV‐PAV) were determined and compared with available sequences in databases. Sequence analysis showed that three isolates (from Fatehjang, Nowshera and Attock districts) had maximum identity (92.8–94.6%) to BYDV‐PAS, and six isolates (from Peshawar, Islamabad Swabi and Faisalabad districts) had maximum identity (99.3–99.7%) to BYDV‐PAV. Thus BYDV‐PAV species may be dominant in northern wheat‐growing areas of Pakistan. The conserved nature of the BYDVs suggests that pathogen‐derived resistance strategies targeting the coat protein of the virus are likely to provide protection under field conditions.  相似文献
