Development of Sporangiophores of Peronospora parasitica (Pers. ex Fr.) Fr.

The morphology of developing sporangiophores of Peronosporaparasitica from wallflower is described, and morphogenesis maybe divided into the following five stages: the sporangiophoreprimordium, unbranched sporangiophore, branched sporangiophore,spore formation and maturation, and formation of the cross wall.The growth of individual sporangiophores in a humidity chamberwas followed under the microscope, and increase in height andincrease in volume measured. The greatest increase in volumewas during spore formation, when the sporangiophore volume mightquadruple within an hour.     

Laboratory tests of fungicides against Peronospora parasitica (Pers. ex Fr.) Fr

Methods were investigated of culturing Peronospora parasitica on detached cotyledons in plastic box moist chambers in constant-temperature cabinets. Light was essential and a temperature of 15 °C was most suitable for infection and survival of cotyledons. Using such cotyledons the protectant and eradicant actions of various fungicides against P. parasitica were compared with those of zineb. Captafol, Daconil 2787, dichlofluanid and propineb were markedly superior to zineb as protectants, being highly effective at 0·025 % a.i. None of these compounds (at 0·2 % a.i.) checked fungal development when applied 5 h after inoculation, during which time the fungus had penetrated the cotyledons, and it was concluded that the fungicides had thus no internal effect. Internal fungistasis was shown, however, by a maneb-nickel sulphate fungicide and also by nickel sulphate. The latter (at 0·4% NiSO₄.6H₂O) gave some disease control when applied up to 72 h after inoculation and appeared to be translocated within the tissue of the cotyledon.     

The Distribution of Substances in the Sporangiophores of Peronospora parasitica (Pers. ex Fr.) Fr.

The distribution of nuclei, RNA, mitochondria, lipid material,protein, and insoluble carbohydrates in the developing sporangiophoresof Peronospora parasitica was demonstrated by cytochemical staining.Nuclei, mitochondria, and protein showed a more or less uniformdistribution throughout the young sporangiophores, but werelocated almost entirely within the mature spores when sporedispersal commenced. Lipid material had a similar distribution,but was absent from the sporangiophore apex and sporangiophorebranch tips during the early stages of development. RNA wasabundant in the sporangiophore apices during early development,but occurred only within the spores, in small quantities, atmaturation. Although insoluble carbohydrates were sparse, theyhad a similar distribution to the nuclei, mitochondria, andprotein. Glycogen was not detected. The major soluble carbohydrates, present in the mature sporesin about equal proportions, were identified by thin-layer chromatographyas trehalose and an aldo-hexose, either glucose or mannose.These sugars were present in about equal quantities in the immaturesporangiophores and spores, while in the mature sporangiophoresfrom which the spores had been removed, trehalose was the majorsugar present. Sugar alcohols were not detected.

Sources of resistance to downy mildew (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Peronospora parasitica</Emphasis> (Pers. (ex Fr.) Fr.) in Sicilian germplasm of cauliflower and broccoli

Downy mildew (Peronospora parasitica (Pers. ex Fr.) Fr.) is a serious disease of brassicas in several countries. Seedlings are very susceptible to this pathogen and crops require frequent fungicide treatments to reach a good marketable yield. The use of resistant cultivars can be the most economical, reliable and environmental friendly method for managing this disease. In this work 32 Sicilian landraces and 16 commercial cultivars of cauliflower and broccoli (B. oleracea) were screened for downy mildew resistance at the cotyledon stage using one P. parasitica strain from Portugal and one from Sicily (Italy). Seven-day old seedlings were inoculated by deposing a droplet of a spore suspension on the cotyledons, incubated under controlled environment and scored 7 days later using a seven-class scale of interaction phenotype (IP), which took into consideration host response and pathogen sporulation. There were no differences in virulence between the two P. parasitica isolates. Accessions ranged from very susceptible to highly resistant to downy mildew showing a variable number of resistant individuals per accession. Forty accessions were very susceptible to downy mildew and are of no interest as sources of resistance, since most of the seedlings were scored in the most susceptible IP classes. Seven accessions had intermediate resistance and included individuals that expressed some degree of resistance. Accession Cv 90 (Cavolfiore Torino) and Br 63 (Sparaceddu) showed the majority of seedlings in the resistant IP classes and may constitute valuable sources of resistance to downy mildew to be used in breeding programs.     

The Comparative Wood-destroying Ability and Preservative Tolerance of Monocaryotic and Dicaryotic Mycelia of Lenzites trabea (Pers.) Fr. and Poria vaillantii (DC ex Fr.) Cke.

Comparison by soil-block tests on several timbers of the wood-destroyingabilities of dicaryotic cultures of both Poria vaillantii andLenzites trabea with those of monocaryotic cultures either derivedfrom, or contributing to, the formation of the dicaryon, indicatedthat monocaryotic cultures of P. vaillantii were generally moredestructive than related dicaryotic cultures, whereas dicaryonsof L. trabea tended to be slightly more destructive than relatedmonocaryons. The tolerance of L. trabea monocaryons to coppersulphate and to sodium arsenate in nutrient agar showed someindication of being higher than that of related dicaryons, whilstthe tolerance of P. vaillantii monocaryons to a copperchrome-arsenatepreservative in soil-block tests also appeared to be higherthan that of related dicaryons. It is concluded that, althoughneither wood-destroying ability nor preservative tolerance wasgreatly affected by nuclear condition, the differences shownmay be of importance in conjunction with the monocaryotizationof dicaryons by toxic agents during laboratory decay tests.

Action Spectrum for Photosporogenesis in Botrytis cinerea Pers. ex Fr

An action spectrum for photoinduced conidium formation in the fungus Botrytis cinerea Pers. ex Fr. was determined by exposing colonies to monochromatic radiation obtained from a diffraction grating monochromator. Wavelengths longer than 355 nm were ineffective even after exposures of 8 hours at intensities of 4,068 to 8,276 erg per cm² per second. Colonies were exposed at 22.5 C from 226 to 355 nm at about 5 nm intervals. Three prominent peaks of effectiveness occurred at about 231, 268, and 283 nm, and there was also a minor peak at about 303 nm. The most effective wavelength for inducing sporulation was 231 nm; it was 25% more effective than the second most effective wavelength (283 nm).     

Monocaryotization of Cultures of Lenzites trabea (Pers.) Fr. and other Wood-destroying Basidiomycetes

Cultures of Lenzites trabea and some other basidiomycetes grownon nutrient agar containing high concentrations of sodium arsenateconsistently reverted from the dicaryotic to the monocaryoticcondition. This effect could also be induced by a wide varietyof other toxicants, including copper sulphate, zinc sulphate,sodium dichromate, sodium pentachlorophenate, creosote, crystalviolet, boric acid, and sodium taurocholate, but sodium arsenatewas the most reliable monocaryotizing agent, being effectivewith eight of the fourteen basidio-mycete species tested withit. The neohaplonts formed by sodium arsenate and other toxicantsmate normally with each other and with compatible monosporeisolates. The value of chemical monocaryotization as a techniquein fungal genetics and experimental taxonomy is discussed. Byusing the mating factor alleles as genetic markers, it was demonstratedthat when L. trabea is monocaryo-tized by sodium arsenate orcopper sulphate, only one of the two nuclei in the dicaryoncan be recovered in the neohaplonts, the direction of this completenuclear selection depending on the toxicant and the dicaryonconcerned. It was shown to occur in treated wood blocks duringroutine soil-block decay tests of inorganic wood preservativesand it is probably a frequent, though hitherto unrecognized,occurrence in the laboratory testing of wood preservatives andother fungicides against basidiomycetes.

Biological Control of Botrytis cinerea Pers. ex Fr. in Strawberry by Paenibacillus polymyxa (Isolate 18191)

Isolate 18191, obtained from mature strawberry fruit and determined as Paenibacillus polymyxa has shown an antagonistic potential against Botrytis cinerea , the causal agent of grey mould in strawberries. Germ tube growth of conidia of B. cinerea was strongly inhibited by the culture suspension of the antagonist in aqueous strawberry fruit pulp suspension (1%) but germination rate of conidia was not affected. The application of the culture suspension and the washed cells on detached strawberry leaf discs reduced conidiophore density of B. cinerea by 67 and 84%, respectively. The treatment of detached leaf discs with culture suspensions of different cell densities (1 × 10⁶, 1 × 10⁷, 1 × 10⁸) showed that the lowest density already reduced incidence of B. cinerea by 68% after 8 days incubation period. Investigating the influence of the temperature on the effectiveness of P. polymyxa it was observed that the antagonist was highly effective already at 10°C and reduced incidence and conidiophore density of B. cinerea by 53 and 58%, respectively. In 3-year field trials the effectiveness of P. polymyxa was in a range of 24–36% as compared to the water control.
