Watermelon production is threatened by fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. niveum (FON) in continuous cultivation system. Some elements, mainly allelochemicals, released from living roots or decayed plants
might be associated with the disease. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the possible impact of coumarin, one kind of
watermelon allelochemical, on FON. Furthermore, possible new mechanisms might be investigated during the ecological interactions
of plant-microbe. Results showed that coumarin strongly inhibited growth of FON leading to a decrease in its biomass, dry
weight of mycelia of FON in a liquid culture. The dry weight was decreased by 62.9% compared with control. The hyphal growth
of FON on plates was stopped at high (>400 mg l−1) concentrations of coumarin. At 320 mg l−1, sporulation and enzyme activities of FON were also severely suppressed by coumarin. The yield of conidia, and the activities
of proteinase, cellulase, and amylase were reduced by 98.9%, 79.7%, 29.8% and 15.9% respectively. However, conidial germination
and mycotoxin (MT) production of FON were greatly stimulated, being increased by 55.7% and 14.9 fold at 320 mg l−1 respectively. We conclude that coumarin acted as an allelochemical substance to inhibit growth and pathogenic enzyme activities
of FON but to stimulate mycotoxin production and conidial germination. It was suggested that coumarin acted as a signal transduction
element bridging plant and pathogen in the process of plant-microbe interactions. 相似文献

The anti-Fusarium oxysporum f. sp cicer (FOC) and anti-Alternaria porri (A. porri) effects were evaluated for 75 different essential oils. The most active essential oils found were those of lemongrass, clove,
cinnamon bark, cinnamon leaf, cassia, fennel, basil and evening primrose. However, the effectiveness of these essential oils
with both the tested fungi showed different responses. The level of inhibition was compared with Hexaconazole. GC–MS analysis
for five oils amongst the 75 essential oils tested was performed. The potential of these essential oils as an ecofriendly
and economic approach as a fungicide for FOC and A. porri is discussed. 相似文献

Two inhibitors, aviglycine and propargylglycine, were tested for their ability to suppress methionine synthesis thus inhibit
conidial germination and mycelial growth of Czapek-Dox liquid medium grown Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. luffae
μM. The linear inhibition range for mycelial growth was about 7.6–762.9 μM. Although aviglycine did not completely inhibit both conidial germination and mycelial growth, it showed significant inhibitory
effect at 1.5 μM. The inhibition range for propargylglycine against conidial germination and mycelial growth were from 0.08 to 8841 μM and from 0.8 to 884.1 μM, respectively. Propargylglycine inhibited conidial germination and mycelial growth at a concentration of 8841 μM. The EC50 values of aviglycine were 1 μM for conidial growth and 122 μM for mycelial growth, and the EC50 values of propargylglycine were 47.7 μM for conidial growth and 55.6 μM for mycelial growth. Supplement of methionine released inhibition of aviglycine or propargylglycine to conidial germination.
In addition, a mixture of aviglycine (1.5 μM) and propargylglycine (8841 μM) showed additive inhibitive effect than applied alone on 10 isolates. From these results, both aviglycine and propargylglycine
exhibited inhibitory activity, and suggest that they can provide potential tools to design novel fungicide against fungal
pathogens. 相似文献

A group of Fusarium isolates from slime flux similar to F. aquaeductuum produced unique, strongly curved, aseptate, C-shaped conidia. They were found to be identical to F. splendens nom. nud. Dried specimens from which F. splendens was originally isolated were reexamined and characterized as a new species of Cosmospora. Cosmospora matuoi sp. nov. is proposed for the teleomorph, and Fusarium matuoi sp. nov. is proposed for its anamorph. 相似文献

Defense responses triggered by dominant and recessive disease resistance ( R) genes are presumed to be regulated by different molecular mechanisms. In order to characterize the genes activated in defense responses against bacterial blight mediated by the recessive R gene xa13, two pathogen-induced subtraction cDNA libraries were constructed using the resistant rice line IRBB13—which carries xa13 —and its susceptible, near-isogenic, parental line IR24. Clustering analysis of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) identified 702 unique expressed sequences as being involved in the defense responses triggered by xa13; 16% of these are new rice ESTs. These sequences define 702 genes, putatively encoding a wide range of products, including defense-responsive genes commonly involved in different host-pathogen interactions, genes that have not previously been reported to be associated with pathogen-induced defense responses, and genes (38%) with no homology to previously described functional genes. In addition, R -like genes putatively encoding nucleotide-binding site/leucine rich repeat (NBS-LRR) and LRR receptor kinase proteins were observed to be induced in the disease resistance activated by xa13. A total of 568 defense-responsive ESTs were mapped to 588 loci on the rice molecular linkage map through bioinformatic analysis. About 48% of the mapped ESTs co-localized with quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for resistance to various rice diseases, including bacterial blight, rice blast, sheath blight and yellow mottle virus. Furthermore, some defense-responsive sequences were conserved at similar locations on different chromosomes. These results reveal the complexity of xa13 -mediated resistance. The information obtained in this study provides a large source of candidate genes for understanding the molecular bases of defense responses activated by recessive R genes and of quantitative disease resistance.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available in the online version of this article at

suaveolens L. (Poit.) essential oil was tested in vitro on the growth and morphogenesis of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. gladioli (Massey) Snyder & Hansen, which causes Fusarium corm rot and yellows in various susceptible cultivars of gladiolus. The fungitoxicity of the oil was measured by percentage radial growth inhibition using the poisoned food technique (PF)
and volatile activity assay (VA). The mycelial growth of the test fungus was completely inhibited at 0.998 and 0.748 μg ml−1 concentration of oil in PF and VA, respectively. Essential oil was found to be fungicidal in nature at 1.247 and 0.998 μg ml−1 concentration of oil in PF and VA, respectively. Determination of conidial germination in the presence of oil was also carried
out and it was found that the oil exhibited 100% inhibition of conidial germination at 0.450 μg ml−1 concentration. The effect of essential oil on the yield of mycelial weight was observed and it was found that at 0.873 μg ml−1 concentration no mycelium was recorded and 100% inhibition was observed. The fungitoxicity of oil did not change even on
exposure to 100°C temperature or to autoclaving, and the oil also retained its fungicidal nature even after storage of 24 months.
The main changes observed under light microscopy after oil treatment were a decrease and loss of conidiation and anomalies
in the hyphae such as a decrease in the diameter of hyphae and granulation of cytoplasm. The treatment of the oil also showed
highly reduced cytoplasm in the hyphae, showing clear retraction of the cytoplasm from the hyphae and ultimately in some areas
hyphae without cytoplasm were also found. GC-MS studies of the essential oil revealed that the oil consisted of 24 compounds
with 1,8-cineole as major component accounting for 44.4% of the total constituents. 相似文献

Virulence analysis of 64 isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris causing chickpea wilt collected from major chickpea growing states of India on 14 varieties, including 10 international differentials revealed that the isolates from each state were highly variable. Based on the reactions on international differentials, more than one race was found to be prevalent in every state. Majority of the isolates were not matched with the race specific reactions. Therefore, some of the cultivars, namely, GPF 2, DCP 92-3, and KWR 108 should be included as new differentials to obtain clear-cut differential responses. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR), and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to assess the genetic diversity of these isolates. Unweighted paired group method with arithmetic average (UPGMA) cluster analysis was used to divide the isolates into distinct clusters. The clusters generated by RAPD grouped all isolates into three categories at 25% genetic similarity and into two major categories at 30% genetic similarity. ISSR and SSR analyses also grouped all the isolates into two major categories. Majority of the isolates from Punjab and a few from Rajasthan were grouped in one category while the isolates from all other states were grouped in another suggesting the existence of diverse genetic populations of the pathogen at the same location. Some of the RAPD (OPM 6, OPI 9, P 17, OPN 4, OPF 1, P 17, P 21, and SC 1), ISSR (ISSR 7, ISSR 11, and ISSR 12) and SSR (MB 17) markers clearly distinguished area specific isolates. 相似文献

The maT clade of transposons is a group of transposable elements intermediate in sequence and predicted protein structure to mariner and Tc transposons, with a distribution thus far limited to a few invertebrate species. We present evidence, based on searches of publicly available databases, that the nematode Caenorhabditis briggsae has several maT-like transposons, which we have designated as CbmaT elements, dispersed throughout its genome. We also describe two additional transposon sequences that probably share their evolutionary history with the CbmaT transposons. One resembles a fold back variant of a CbmaT element, with long (380-bp) inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) that show a high degree (71%) of identity to CbmaT1. The other, which shares only the 26-bp ITR sequences with one of the CbmaT variants, is present in eight nearly identical copies, but does not have a transposase gene and may therefore be cross mobilised by a CbmaT transposase. Using PCR-based mobility assays, we show that CbmaT1 transposons are capable of excising from the C. briggsae genome. CbmaT1 excised approximately 500 times less frequently than Tcb1 in the reference strain AF16, but both CbmaT1 and Tcb1 excised at extremely high frequencies in the HK105 strain. The HK105 strain also exhibited a high frequency of spontaneous induction of unc-22 mutants, suggesting that it may be a mutator strain of C. briggsae. 相似文献

Fusarium oxysporum (isolate PSM 197) based mycoherbicide was evaluated for its efficacy under field conditions in trials conducted during 1999--2001 cropping seasons in the Nigerian savanna. In the 1999 cropping season, spot application of 5--10 g of mycoherbicide was found to give effective control of Striga hermonthica. Results of on-farm trials at Barhim and Dutsen-Ma areas showed the application of the mycoherbicide to significantly (p= 0.05) increase stand count at both 3 weeks and at harvest, reduced Striga shoot count and increased crop yield in both improved and local sorghum varieties, as compared with the same varieties not treated with the mycoherbicide. Results establish the efficacy of F. oxysporum as a mycoherbicide and the need for further development of the mycoherbicide into formulated granules or seed treatment for use in control of S. hermonthica under field conditions. 相似文献

Bacterial blight (BB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a devastating disease in rice worldwide. The resistance gene Xa7, which provides dominant resistance against the pathogen with avirulence (Avr) gene AvrXa7, has proved to be durably resistant to BB. A set of SSR markers were selected from the “gramene” database based on the Xa7 gene initial mapping region on chromosome 6. These markers were used to construct a high-resolution genetic map of the chromosomal
region surrounding the Xa7 gene. An F2 mapping population with 721 highly susceptible individuals derived from a cross between the near isogenic lines (NILs) IRBB7
and IR24 were constructed to localize the Xa7 gene. In a primary analysis with eleven polymorphic SSR markers, Xa7 was located in approximately the 0.28-cM region. To walk closer to the target gene, recombinant F2 individuals were tested using newly developed STMS (sequence tagged microsatellite) markers. Finally, the Xa7 gene was mapped to a 0.21-cM interval between the markers GDSSR02 and RM20593. The Xa7-linked markers were landed on the reference sequence of cv. Nipponbare through bioinformatics analysis. A contig map corresponding
to the Xa7 gene was constructed. The target gene was assumed to span an interval of approximately 118.5-kb which contained a total of
fourteen genes released by the TIGR Genome Annotation Version 5.0. Candidate-gene analysis of Xa7 revealed that the fourteen genes encode novel domains that have no amino acid sequence similar to other cloned Xa(xa) genes.

Sequence-tagged microsatellite site (STMS) and sequence-tagged site (STS) markers linked closely to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris race 3 resistance gene in chickpea were identified, and linkage between three wilt resistance genes was elucidated. The resistance to race 3 in chickpea germplasm accession WR-315 was inherited as a single gene, designated foc-3, in 100 F7 recombinant inbred lines derived from the cross of WR-315 (resistant) × C-104 (susceptible). The foc-3 gene was mapped 0.6 cM from STMS markers TA96 and TA27 and STS marker CS27A. Another STMS marker, TA194, at 14.3 cM, flanked the gene on the other side. Linkage between foc-3 and two other chickpea wilt resistance genes, foc-1 (syn. h
1
) and foc-4, was established. foc-3 was mapped 9.8 cM from foc-1 and 8.7 cM from foc-4, whereas foc-1 and foc-4 are closely linked at 1.1 cM. The identification of closely linked markers to resistance genes will facilitate marker-assisted selection for introgression of the race 3 resistance gene to susceptible chickpea lines.Communicated by H.C.

The dnaK and dnaJ genes, encoding heat shock proteins, were cloned from a psychrophilic bacterium, Colwellia maris. Significant homology was evident comparing DnaK and DnaJ of the psychrophilile with the counterparts of mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria. In the DnaJ protein, three conserved regions of the Hsp40 family were observed. A putative promoter similar to the sigma32 consensus sequence was found upstream of the dnaK gene. The G+C content in the 5'-untranslated region of the dnaK gene was much lower than that in the corresponding region of mesophilic bacteria. Northern-blot analysis and primer-extension analysis showed that both genes were transcribed separately as monocistronic mRNAs. Following several temperature upshifts from 10 to 26 degrees C, maximum induction of the dnaK and dnaJ mRNAs was detected at 20 degrees C, suggesting that this temperature induces the heat shock response in this bacterium. In addition, the level of the induction of the dnaJ gene was much lower than that of the dnaK gene. These findings together revealed several specific features of the heat shock response at a relatively low temperature in psychrophiles. 相似文献

Notocactus scopa cv. Soonjung was subjected to in planta Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation with vacuum infiltration, pin-pricking, and a combination of the two methods. The pin-pricking combined with vacuum infiltration (20-30 cmHg for 15 min) resulted in a transformation efficiency of 67-100%, and the expression of the uidA and nptII genes was detected in transformed cactus. The established in planta transformation technique generated a transgenic cactus with higher transformation efficiency, shortened selection process, and stable gene expression via asexual reproduction. All of the results showed that the in planta transformation method utilized in the current study provided an efficient and time-saving procedure for the delivery of genes into the cactus genome, and that this technique can be applied to other asexually reproducing succulent plant species. 相似文献

Although resistance of microorganisms to Hg(II) salts has been widely investigated and resistant strains have been reported
from many eubacterial genera, there are few reports of mercuric ion resistance in extremophilic microorganisms. Moderately
thermophilic mercury resistant bacteria were selected by growth at 62 °C on Luria agar containing HgCl2. Sequence analysis of 16S rRNA genes of two isolates showed the closest matches to be with Bacillus pallidus and Ureibacillus thermosphaericus. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for HgCl2 were 80 μg/ml and 30 μg/ml for these isolates, respectively, compared to 10 μg/ml for B. pallidus H12 DSM3670, a mercury-sensitive control. The best-characterised mercury-resistant Bacillus strain, B. cereus RC607, had an MIC of 60 μg/ml. The new isolates had negligible mercuric reductase activity but removed Hg from the medium
by the formation of a black precipitate, identified as HgS by X-ray powder diffraction analysis. No volatile H2S was detected in the headspace of cultures in the absence or presence of Hg2+, and it is suggested that a new mechanism of Hg tolerance, based on the production of non-volatile thiol species, may have
potential for decontamination of solutions containing Hg2+ without production of toxic volatile H2S. 相似文献

As a first step in the research on ethanol production from lignocellulose residues, sugar fermentation by Fusarium oxysporum in oxygen-limited conditions is studied in this work. As a substrate, solutions of arabinose, glucose, xylose and glucose/xylose
mixtures are employed. The main kinetic and yield parameters of the process are determined according to a time-dependent model.
The microorganism growth is characterized by the maximum specific growth rate and biomass productivity, the substrate consumption
is studied through the specific consumption rate and biomass yield, and the product formation via the specific production
rate and product yields. In conclusion, F. oxysporum can convert glucose and xylose into ethanol with product yields of 0.38 and 0.25, respectively; when using a glucose/xylose
mixture as carbon source, the sugars are utilized sequentially and a maximum value of 0.28 g/g ethanol yield is determined
from a 50% glucose/50% xylose mixture. Although fermentation performance by F.␣oxysporum is somewhat lower than that of other fermenting microorganisms, its ability for simultaneous lignocellulose-residue saccharification
and fermentation is considered as a potential advantage. 相似文献
