Putting plant resistance traits on the map: a test of the idea that plants are better defended at lower latitudes

? It has long been believed that plant species from the tropics have higher levels of traits associated with resistance to herbivores than do species from higher latitudes. A meta-analysis recently showed that the published literature does not support this theory. However, the idea has never been tested using data gathered with consistent methods from a wide range of latitudes. ? We quantified the relationship between latitude and a broad range of chemical and physical traits across 301 species from 75 sites world-wide. ? Six putative resistance traits, including tannins, the concentration of lipids (an indicator of oils, waxes and resins), and leaf toughness were greater in high-latitude species. Six traits, including cyanide production and the presence of spines, were unrelated to latitude. Only ash content (an indicator of inorganic substances such as calcium oxalates and phytoliths) and the properties of species with delayed greening were higher in the tropics. ? Our results do not support the hypothesis that tropical plants have higher levels of resistance traits than do plants from higher latitudes. If anything, plants have higher resistance toward the poles. The greater resistance traits of high-latitude species might be explained by the greater cost of losing a given amount of leaf tissue in low-productivity environments.     

Fungal endophytes of wild barley and their effects on Diuraphis noxia population development

Laboratory experiments were conducted to compare the expression of Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko) (Homoptera: Aphididae) resistance in four plant introduction (PI) lines of wild barley (Hordeum) infected with different species or strains of endophytic fungi (tribe Balansieae, family Clavicipitaceae, Neotyphodium gen. nov. [formerly Acremonium]). Aphid densities were significantly lower on endophyte-infected plants of PI 314696 (H. bogdanii Wilensky) and PI 440420 (H. brevisubulatum subsp. violaceum (Boissier & Hohenacker)), compared with densities on endophyte-free plants of both PI lines in population growth experiments. This endophyte- associated resistance was the result of antibiosis effects or starvation. In other experiments, endophyte-free plants of PI 269406 and PI 440413 (H. bogdanii) were not superior to endophyte-infected conspecifics as host plants of D. noxia. Our results demonstrate the influence of host plant species/genotype and endophyte species/strain on expression of aphid resistance, provide an explanation of the high levels of D. noxia resistance in PI 314696 and PI 440420 previously reported in the literature, and underscore the potential importance of endophytic fungi in conferring insect resistance in wild barley.     

TISSUE CULTURE IN THE PRODUCTION OF NOVEL DISEASE-RESISTANT CROP PLANTS

1. Plant tissue cultures form the basis of a number of techniques which have been developed to effect genetic changes in plants. Progress is being made in the application of these techniques in breeding new, disease-resistant cultivars. 2. It is possible to induce and select for mutants among populations of cultured plant cells. Novel disease-resistant plants of a small number of species have been regenerated from cells selected in culture for their resistance to toxins produced by pathogens, both with and without prior exposure to mutagens. It is not known whether such procedures are widely applicable, and the nature of the genetic changes involved has not yet been determined. 3. The tissues of plant species which are propagated vegetatively are normally genetic mosaics with regard to many characteristics, including resistance to disease. Thus, some of the plants regenerated from cultured cells of such species are more resistant to pathogens than the parent plants. Novel plants produced in this way are already being used in some breeding programmes. 4. Many attempts have been made to modify the genomes of cultured plant cells by means of exogenous nucleic acids. The evidence for integration and replication of this genetic material is equivocal. The technique, therefore, offers no immediate prospects for the development of novel disease-resistant plants, but may be important in the long term as methods are perfected for using plasmids and other agents as carriers of useful genes. 5. Steady advances are being made in producing somatic hybrids of crop plants by fusion of isolated protoplasts. In the long term it may be possible to use protoplast fusion to transfer desirable disease-resistance traits between related species which cannot be hybridized by conventional breeding methods. 6. The culture of excised embryos may be used to grow interspecific and inter-generic hybrid plants in cases where incompatibility occurs after normal fertilization. The technique is already being used by breeders in the production of disease-resistant hybrids of crop species. 7. It is concluded that tissue culture has a limited but useful role to play in the development of novel disease-resistant crop plants.     

APHID DISTRIBUTION AND THE EVOLUTION OF GOLDENROD RESISTANCE

Although there is considerable evidence indicating that herbivory is detrimental to plant fitness, some recent studies of the evolution of plant resistance have concluded that insects do not impose selection on their host plants. A previously untested assumption that underlies most studies of the evolution of plant resistance is that insect distribution patterns are controlled directly by the effects of plant genotype on insect preference and performance. The experiments described here explicitly tested this assumption using the specialist herbivore Uroleucon tissoti (Homoptera: Aphididae) and its host plant Solidago altissima (Asteraceae). Measures of aphid preference and performance were used to predict aphid distribution patterns, and then the predicted distribution patterns were compared with the natural distribution pattern. Although goldenrod genotype had a strong effect on aphid distribution, aphid distribution was not controlled directly by the effect of goldenrod genotype on aphid preference and performance. Instead, a second experiment demonstrated that aphid and spittlebug (Philaenus spumarius and Lepyronia quadrangularis Homoptera: Cercopidae) distribution is controlled largely by genetic variation for resistance to a suite of “branch-causing” herbivores. These herbivores induce branching and aphids and spittlebugs are more abundant on branched plants than unbranched plants. These results indicate that any natural selection imposed by aphids and spittlebugs on goldenrod will depend on the presence or absence of branch-causing herbivores. Thus, selection for plant resistance may depend as much on the assemblage of insect species present as on the identity of each individual species.     

Transfer of transformed chloroplasts from Nicotiana tabacum to the Lycium barbarum plants

Plastid transformation is an attractive technology for obtaining crop plants with new useful characteristics and for fundamental researches of plastid functioning and nuclear-plastid interaction. The aim of our experiments was to obtain plants with Lycium barbarum nucleus and transformed Nicotiana tabacum plastids. Plastome of previously engineered transplastomic tobacco plants contains reporter uidA gene and selective aadA gene that confers resistance to antibiotics spectinomycin and streptomycin. Asymmetric somatic hybridization was performed for transferring transformed tobacco plastids from transplastomic tobacco plants into recipient L. barbarum wild type plants. Hybrid L. barbarum plants containing transformed tobacco plastome with active aadA and uidA genes were obtained as a result of the experiments. The work shows the possibility of obtaining transplastomic plants by transferring the transformed plastids to remote species by using somatic hybridization technology. The developed technique is especially effective for obtaining transplastomic plants that have low regeneration and transformation ability.

Molecular epidemiology of plasmid mediated resistance to fosfomycin among bacteria isolated from different environments

In this report we present data on the dispersion of a gene responsible for the plasmid-mediated resistance to fosfomycin among bacteria isolated from four hospitals and seven geographically separated domestic sewage treatment plants. Colony hybridization experiments, using a 0.85 kbp DNA fragment which carried the fosfomycin resistance determinant, have shown that the gene was present in isolates from three hospitals and six sewage plants although with different incidence and that it is carried by species of Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Staphylococcus and Bacillus .     

IN-SITU SELECTION OF SUITABLE PLANTS FOR THE PHYTOREMEDIATION OF MULTI-METALS–CONTAMINATED SITES IN CENTRAL TAIWAN

Soils contaminated with metals are a serious problem in central Taiwan; 70% of the metals-contaminated soils in Taiwan are distributed there. We used soil turnover and dilution methods to reduce the total concentration of metals in soil, but this technique may be not suitable for other sites because of their shallow soil depths, which were less than 60 cm. Central Taiwan has the largest flower market in Taiwan and we propose that using local flower species to clean up the metals-contaminated soils is a feasible solution. A 1.3-ha area contaminated by multiple metals (As, Cr, Ni, Cu, and Zn) located in central Taiwan was selected for this large-area phytoremediation experiment. According to the Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration project contract, in-situ selection experiments were conducted to select 12 potential species from 33 tested species for further large area experiment. After in-situ planting of 33 species of plants in the contaminated soil for 33 d, bougainvillea and cockscomb showed yellow-colored leaves and withered as the result of the toxicity of metals. Herbaceous plants can accumulate higher concentration of metals and have higher bioconcentration factor in relative to woody plants. Three weighting models of growth condition and the metal-accumulated concentration of plants growing in the site were evaluated and compared. Six woody plants and six herbaceous plants were selected as high potential metal accumulators for a further large-area experiment.
