An endophytic fungus, F-23, was isolated from the roots of Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo, an endangered Chinese medicinal plant. The sequence of the ITS region indicated that the isolate belongs
to the genus Mycena. After 4 months of inoculation, the root systems of D. officinale that were inoculated with F-23 fungus were much larger than the control’s root systems. We also observed that the hyphae
of F-23 penetrated the epidermal cells within the host’s roots and spread from cell to cell. A large number of pelotons existed
in the root cortical cells of D. officinale inoculated with F-23 fungus. Intracellular hyphae crossing through the host walls were also observed using SEM (scanning
electron microscopy). In contrast, light microscopy and SEM showed that the transverse sections of the roots of control plants
remained uncolonized. Therefore, the F-23 fungus can form mycorrhizal associations with the roots of its host plant, D. officinale, and enhance the growth of seedlings and roots. In brief, Mycena sp. was identified and shown to be a mycorrhizal fungus of the epiphytic orchid, D. officinale. This might be of potential use to the mass cultivation of D. officinale under artificial conditions. 相似文献

Mycorrhizal fungi were isolated from the nonphotosynthetic orchid Chamaegastrodia sikokiana and identified as members of Ceratobasidiaceae by phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of
ribosomal deoxyribonucleic acid. The ITS sequences were similar among geographically separated samples obtained from Mt. Kiyosumi
in Chiba Prefecture and Mt. Yokokura in Kochi Prefecture. One of the isolated fungi, KI1-2, formed ectomycorrhiza on seedlings
of Abies firma in pot culture, suggesting that tripartite symbiosis exists among C. sikokiana, mycorrhizal fungi, and A. firma in nature, and carbon compounds are supplied from A. firma to C. sikokiana through the hyphae of the mycorrhizal fungi. To our knowledge, this is the second study to suggest the involvement of Ceratobasidiaceae
fungi in tripartite symbiosis with achlorophyllous orchids and photosynthetic host plants. 相似文献

We have achieved the symbiotic cultivation of an apparently achlorophyllous orchid, Epipogium roseum Lindl., with a mycorrhizal fungus isolated from an underground organ of this orchid. Although the seed germination rate was
extremely low, subsequent growth from protocorm to flowering was induced in a medium containing volcanic soils and sawdust.
Stolons elongated from each protocorm, and rhizomes were formed at certain intervals on the stolons. Some of the rhizomes
developed into a coralloid form, and tubers were formed from the coralloid rhizomes. The coralloid rhizomes degenerated concurrently
with maturation of the tubers. Six months after seed sowing, around 80 tubers were produced from a single protocorm. An inflorescence
appeared from each of the large tubers, and the process to flowering was observed in one of these. Consequently, the developmental
processes from seed to flowering in E. roseum was clearly revealed in this study. 相似文献

Phytocystatins are cysteine proteinase inhibitors in plants that are implicated in the endogenous regulation of protein turnover
and defense mechanisms against insects and pathogens. A cDNA encoding a phytocystatin called AtCYS6 (Arabidopsis thaliana phytocystatin6) has been isolated. We show that AtCYS6 is highly expressed in dry seeds and seedlings and that it also accumulates
in flowers. The persistence of AtCYS6 protein expression in seedlings was promoted by abscisic acid (ABA), a seed germination
and post-germination inhibitory phytohormone. This finding was made in transgenic plants bearing an AtCYS6 promoter–β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter construct, where we found that expression from the AtCYS6 promoter persisted after ABA treatment but was reduced under control conditions and by gibberellin4+7 (GA4+7) treatment during the germination and post-germinative periods. In addition, constitutive over-expression of AtCYS6 retarded germination and seedling growth, whereas these were enhanced in an AtCYS6 knock-out mutant (cys6-2). Additionally, cysteine proteinase activities stored in seeds were inhibited by AtCYS6 in transgenic Arabidopsis. From these data, we propose that AtCYS6 expression is enhanced by the germination inhibitory phytohormone ABA and that it participates in the control of germination
rate and seedling growth by inhibiting the activity of stored cysteine proteinases. 相似文献

In vitro propagation protocol for Haemaria discolor (Ker) Lindl. var. dawsoniana by artificial cross-pollination and asymbiotic germination of seeds has been developed. Fruit set (100 %) was obtained when the pollinia and ovules of various aged flowers were used for pollination. In vitro germination of seeds obtained from capsules of various ages was achieved on half-strength Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium supplemented with 3 % sucrose and 0.85 % agar. The germinated seedlings were cultured on half-strength MS medium with 0.2 % activated charcoal, 8 % banana homogenate, 0.1 mg dm−3 1-phenyl-3-(1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl)urea (TDZ) and 1 mg dm−3 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Ninety-six percent of plantlets survived after hardening in greenhouse.This research was supported by grant (91AS-3.1.1-CI-C3) from the Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan of Taiwan and grants (NSC-89-2317-B055-002 and NSC-91-2317-B324-001) from the National Science Council of Taiwan.

We investigated the influence of light quality on in vitro germination and protocorm formation, and the effect of indole-3-acetic
acid (IAA) and thidiazuron (TDZ) on proliferation of protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) and development of plantlets of Cyrtopodium glutiniferum Raddi. Germination was faster under white and blue light, and highest under green light. The protocorm developed more rapidly
under white, blue, and green light. Continuous darkness delayed seed germination and reduced protocorm formation. Among the
plant growth regulators (PGRs) tested for multiplying PLBs, shoots, and roots from protocorms, IAA proved to be superior.
TDZ was effective in inducing PLB fresh weight accumulation, but not morphogenesis, unlike IAA. This study indicated that
C. glutiniferum seedlings can be produced in vitro using asymbiotic seed germination techniques. High germination rate and protocorm yield
can be obtained by initially cultivating C. glutiniferum seeds on medium without growth regulators under white light, or under white light supplemented with green or blue light.
This culture system complies with commercial and conservation requirements for rapid and low-cost propagation. 相似文献

Endophytic fungi are rich in orchids and have great impacts on their host plants. 53 endophytes (30 isolates from Dendrobium devonianum and 23 endophytic fungi from D. thyrsiflorum) were isolated, respectively, from roots and stems of Dendrobium species. All the fungi were identified by way of morphological and/or molecular biological methods. 30 endophytic fungi in
D. devonianum were categorized into 11 taxa and 23 fungal endophytes in D. thyrsiflorum were grouped into 11 genera, respectively. Fusarium was the dominant species of the two Dendrobium species in common. Antimicrobial activity of ethanol extract of fermentation broth of these fungi was explored using agar
diffusion test. 10 endophytic fungi in D. devonianum and 11 in D. thyrsiflorum exhibited antimicrobial activity against at least one pathogenic bacterium or fungus among 6 pathogenic microbes (Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus). Out of the fungal endophytes isolated from D. devonianum and D. thyrsiflorum, Phoma displayed strong inhibitory activity (inhibition zones in diameter >20 mm) against pathogens. Epicoccum nigrum from D. thyrsiflorum exhibited antibacterial activity even stronger than ampicillin sodium. Fusarium isolated from the two Dendrobium species was effective against the pathogenic bacterial as well as fungal pathogens. The study reinforced the assumption that
endophytic fungi isolated from different Dendrobium species could be of potential antibacterial or antifungal resource. 相似文献

Procedures for asymbiotic seed germination and seedling acclimatization were developed for Bletia purpurea, a threatened North America native terrestrial orchid. Six asymbiotic orchid seed germination media (Knudson C, PhytoTechnology Orchid Seed Sowing Medium, Malmgren Modified Terrestrial Orchid Medium, Vacin &; Went Modified Orchid Medium, ½-strengh Murashige &; Skoog, and BM-1 Terrestrial Orchid Medium) were examined for their effectiveness in promoting seed germination and protocorm development of B. purpurea in either a 0/24 h or 16/8 h L/D photoperiod. Germination occurred regardless of medium or photoperiod treatment. However, advanced seedling development (Stage 6) only occurred on Vacin &; Went Modified Orchid Medium in the 16/8 h L/D photoperiod. Further effects of photoperiod on in vitro seedling development were also examined. Shoot length, leaf width, root number and length, and fresh weight and dry weight in the 16/8 h L/D photoperiod were all significantly different when compared to the 8/16 h and 12/12 L/D photoperiods. In vitro seedlings were readily acclimatized to greenhouse conditions. Seedlings showed high survival all potting media. Seedlings acclimatized in Fafard Mix 4 potting medium developed significantly longer roots. Corm formation occurred regardless of potting media used. 相似文献

Clethra barbinervis (Ericales), Cucumis sativus, and Lycopersicon esculentum were grown in soils collected from six different vegetation sites (cedar, cypress, larch, red pine, bamboo grass, and Italian ryegrass), and morphology and colonization preference of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi were investigated by microscopic observation and PCR detection. C. barbinervis consistently formed Paris-type AM throughout the sites. C. sativus formed both Arum- and Paris-type AM with high occurrence of Arum-type AM. L. esculentum also formed both Arum- and Paris-type AM but with high occurrence of Paris-type AM. AM diversity within the same plant species was different among the sites. Detected AM diversity from AM spores in different site soils did not consistently reflect AM fungal diversity seen in test plants. Detected families were different, depending on test plants grown even in the same soil. AM fungi belonging to Glomaceae were consistently detected from roots of all test plants throughout the sites. Almost all the families were detected from roots of C. barbinervis and L. esculentum. On the other hand, only two or three families of AM fungi (Archaeosporaceae and/or Paraglomaceae and Glomaceae) but not two other families (Acaulosporaceae and Gigasporaceae) were detected from roots of C. sativus, indicating strong colonization preference of AM fungi to C. sativus among test plants. This study demonstrated that host plant species strongly influenced the colonization preference of AM fungi in the roots. 相似文献

The amino acid sequence of APX4 is similar to other ascorbate peroxidases (APXs), a group of proteins that protect plants from oxidative damage by transferring electrons from ascorbate to detoxify peroxides. In this study, we characterized two apx4 mutant alleles. Translational fusions with GFP indicated APX4 localizes to chloroplasts. Both apx4 mutant alleles formed chlorotic cotyledons with significantly reduced chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and lutein. Given the homology of APX to ROS-scavenging proteins, this result is consistent with APX4 protecting seedling photosystems from oxidation. The growth of apx4 seedlings was stunted early in seedling development. In addition, APX4 altered seed quality by affecting seed coat formation. While apx4 seed development appeared normal, the seed coat was darker and more permeable than the wild type. In addition, accelerated aging tests showed that apx4 seeds were more sensitive to environmental stress than the wild-type seeds. If APX4 affects seed pigment biosynthesis or reduction, the seed coat color and permeability phenotypes are explained. apx4 mutants had cotyledon chlorosis, increased H2O2 accumulation, and reduced soluble APX activity in seedlings. These results indicate that APX4 is involved in the ROS-scavenging process in chloroplasts. 相似文献

We studied the nutritional modes of the orchid Serapias strictiflora and its mycorrhizal fungus Epulorhiza sp. using the differences in carbon isotopic composition (δ13C) of C3 orchid and C4 maize tissues. We found that if cultivated in substrate lacking any organic compounds, the mycorrhizal extraradical mycelia
(δ13C = −26.3 ± 0.2 ‰) developed well, despite being fully dependent on nutrition from orchid roots (δ13C = −28.6 ± 0.1 ‰). If the mycorrhizal fungus had additional access to and colonized decaying maize roots (δ13C = −14.6 ± 0.1 ‰), its isotopic composition (δ13C = −21.6 ± 0.4 ‰) reflected a mixture of biotrophy and saprotrophy. No statistically significant differences in δ13C of new storage tubers were found between Epulorhiza-associated orchids with (δ13C = -28.2 ± 0.1 ‰) and without access to maize roots (δ13C = −28.6 ± 0.2 ‰). We conclude that autotrophy is the predominant nutritional mode of mature S. strictiflora plants and that they supply their mycorrhizal fungus with substantial amount of carbon (69 ± 3 % of the fungus demand), even
if the fungus feeds saprotrophically. 相似文献

Studying Pneumocystis has proven to be a challenge from the perspective of propagating a significant amount of the pathogen in a facile manner.
The study of several fungal pathogens has been aided by the use of invertebrate model hosts. Our efforts to infect the invertebrate
larvae Galleria
mellonella with Pneumocystis proved futile since P. murina neither caused disease nor was able to proliferate within G. mellonella. It did, however, show that the pathogen could be rapidly cleared from the host. 相似文献

This paper describes multiple shoot regeneration from leaf and nodal segments of a medicinally important herb Centella asiatica L. on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium supplemented with a range of growth regulators. The highest number of multiple shoots
was observed on MS augmented with 3.0 mg dm−3 N6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 0.05 mg dm−3 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Leaf explant showed maximum percentage of cultures regenerating shoots (81.6 %), with the
highest shoot number (8.3 shoots per explant) and the shoot length (2.1 cm) whereas, nodal explant showed less number of shoots
with callus formation at the base cut end. Successive shoot cultures were established by repeatedly sub-culturing the original
explant on a fresh medium. Rooting of in vitro raised shoots was best induced on half strength MS supplemented with 0.5 mg dm−3 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) with highest percentage of shoot regenerating roots (76.8 %) with 3–4 roots per shoot. Plantlets
were acclimated in Vermi-compost and eventually established in soil. Contents of chlorophyll, total sugars, reducing sugars and proteins were estimated in
leaf tissue from both in vivo and in vitro raised plants. Chlorophyll content was higher in in vivo plants, whereas other three components were higher in in vitro plants. 相似文献

The enzyme fatty acid desaturase 2 (FAD2) transforms oleic acid (C18:1) to linoleic acid (C18:2) in plants and as such is
involved in fatty acid synthesis. It is also involved in plant development and self-defense, such as seed germination, leaf
expansion and cold resistance. We have cloned the full coding region of the Brassica napus
FAD2 gene and ectopically expressed it in B. napus expressing low levels of FAD2. Overexpression of FAD2 under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter resulted in an up-regulated FAD2 mRNA level in B. napus as expected. Further analysis revealed that the FAD2 transgenic lines varied greatly in terms of their physiological characteristics, such as enhanced seed germination and increased
hypocotyl length, compared to non-transgenic plants, suggesting that up-regulated FAD2 can promote seed germination and hypocotyl elongation in B. napus. Our results demonstrate the possible roles of FAD2 in plant development and also provide a platform for further analysis of fatty acid synthesis in plants. 相似文献

We have investigated the floral ontogeny of Arillastrum, Allosyncarpia, Stockwellia and Eucalyptopsis (of the eucalypt group, Myrtaceae) using scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy. Several critical characters for establishing relationships between these genera and to the eucalypts have been determined. The absence of compound petaline primordia in Arillastrum, Allosyncarpia, Stockwellia and Eucalyptopsis excludes these taxa from the eucalypt clade. Post-anthesis circumscissile abscission of the hypanthium above the ovary in Stockwellia, Eucalyptopsis and Allosyncarpia is evidence that these three taxa form a monophyletic group; undifferentiated perianth parts and elongated fusiform buds are characters that unite Stockwellia and Eucalyptopsis as sister taxa. No floral characters clearly associate Arillastrum with either the eucalypt clade or the clade of Stockwellia, Eucalyptopsis and Allosyncarpia.We gratefully acknowledge Clyde Dunlop and Bob Harwood (Northern Territory Herbarium) for collecting specimens of Allosyncarpia, and Bruce Gray (Atherton) for collecting specimens of Stockwellia. The Australian National Herbarium (CANB) kindly lent herbarium specimens of Eucalyptopsis for examination.

Hyphae and vesicles of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) were found within the decomposing leaves of Myrica parvifolia, M. pubescens and Paepalanthus sp. at three montane sites in Colombia. Hyphae, vesicles, and arbuscule-like structures were also found within scale-like leaves of the rhizomes of Paepalanthus sp. The litter found in the vicinity of the roots was divided into three decomposition layers. The highest AMF colonization occurred in the most decomposed leaves, which were in close association with roots. In contrast, there were no differences in AMF colonization of roots present in the different decomposition layers. Colonization of decomposing leaves by AMF did not differ between the two closely related species M. parvifolia and M. pubescens, nor between two sites (Guatavita and Zipacón, Colombia) differing in soil fertility. Occurrence of vesicles in decomposing leaves was correlated with abundant AMF extraradical hyphae among the leaves. We propose that AMF enter decomposing leaves mechanically through vascular tissue. As a consequence, AMF are well positioned to obtain and efficiently recycle mineral nutrients released by decomposer microorganisms before their loss by leaching or immobilization in soil. 相似文献

Aims
To identify Rhizobium strains’ ability to biocontrol Sclerotium rolfsii, a fungus that causes serious damage to the common bean and other important crops, 78 previously isolated rhizobia from common bean were assessed.Methods
Dual cultures, volatiles, indole-acetic acid (IAA), siderophore production and 16S rRNA sequencing were employed to select strains for pot and field experiments.Results
Thirty-three antagonistic strains were detected in dual cultures, 16 of which were able to inhibit ≥84% fungus mycelial growth. Antagonistic strains produced up to 36.5 μg mL?1 of IAA, and a direct correlation was verified between IAA production and mycelium inhibition. SEMIA 460 inhibited 45% of mycelial growth through volatile compounds. 16S rRNA sequences confirmed strains as Rhizobium species. In pot condition, common bean plants grown on S. rolfsii-infested soil and inoculated with SEMIA 4032, 4077, 4088, 4080, 4085, or 439 presented less or no disease symptoms. The most efficient strains under field conditions, SEMIA 439 and 4088, decreased disease incidence by 18.3 and 14.5% of the S. rolfsii-infested control.Conclusions
Rhizobium strains could be strong antagonists towards S. rolfsii growth. SEMIA 4032, 4077, 4088, 4080, 4085, and 439 are effective in the biological control of the collar rot of the common bean.19.

An efficient transformation system was developed for Centaurea montana by co-cultivation of leaf explants with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain AGL1 that contained a plasmid harboring the isopentenyl transferase gene under the control of the developmentally
regulated Atmyb32 promoter of Arabidopsis thaliana and the gene encoding for hygromycin resistance under the control of the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus 35S (CaMV35S) promoter.
A total of 990 explants were infected with Agrobacterium, and 18 shoots were regenerated resulting in an overall transformation efficiency of 1.8%. Molecular analyses, including
PCR, Southern blotting and RT-PCR, were performed on T0 and T1 plants to confirm chromosomal integration and expression of the transgene in the phenotypically normal transformed plants.
Transformation of C. montana was also performed using A. tumefaciens supervirulent strain EHA105 harboring the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene. Expression of the GUS gene in the putative transgenics was confirmed using a histochemical GUS assay. 相似文献
