Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) is a destructive disease that affects the grain yield and quality of cereals. The relationship between the natural defense chemicals benzoxazinoids and the FHB resistance of field grown winter wheat varieties was investigated. FHB resistance was assessed by the inoculation of wheat ears with mixtures of Fusarium avenaceum, Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium graminearum, and Microdochium nivale.  相似文献

Winter wheat, grown under greenhouse conditions, was protected four times with a cell suspension of Aureobasidium pullulans var. pullulans during the growing season. After harvest, the distribution and survival rates of the studied biocontrol agent were analyzed under a scanning electron microscope. The abundance of filamentous fungi, yeasts, pseudomonads and Azotobacter bacteria was determined by inoculation onto selective agar media. A. pullulans produced mostly unicellular chlamydospores on the surface and in the brush of kernels. Multicellular blastospore conglomerates secreted extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), and their biofilms were found in the brush and crease of kernels. The application of a cell suspension of A. pullulans with the density of 104 CFU to winter wheat spikes, repeated four times, inhibited the growth of pseudomonads, Azotobacter bacteria and filamentous fungi.  相似文献

Numerous potential components involved in the resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) in cereals have been indicated, however, our knowledge regarding this process is still limited and further work is required. Two winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) lines differing in their levels of resistance to FHB were analyzed to identify the most crucial proteins associated with resistance in this species. The presented work involved analysis of protein abundance in the kernel bulks of more resistant and more susceptible wheat lines using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry identification of proteins, which were differentially accumulated between the analyzed lines, after inoculation with F. culmorum under field conditions. All the obtained two-dimensional patterns were demonstrated to be well-resolved protein maps of kernel proteomes. Although, 11 proteins were shown to have significantly different abundance between these two groups of plants, only two are likely to be crucial and have a potential role in resistance to FHB. Monomeric alpha-amylase and dimeric alpha-amylase inhibitors, both highly accumulated in the more resistant line, after inoculation and in the control conditions. Fusarium pathogens can use hydrolytic enzymes, including amylases to colonize kernels and acquire nitrogen and carbon from the endosperm and we suggest that the inhibition of pathogen amylase activity could be one of the most crucial mechanisms to prevent infection progress in the analyzed wheat line with a higher resistance. Alpha-amylase activity assays confirmed this suggestion as it revealed the highest level of enzyme activity, after F. culmorum infection, in the line more susceptible to FHB.  相似文献

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a destructive disease of wheat and barley. In wheat it is mainly caused by the fungal pathogens Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum. We report the identification and evaluation of candidate genes for quantitative FHB resistance. These genes showed altered expression levels in the moderately resistant winter wheat genotypes Capo and SVP72017 after inoculation with F. graminearum. Amongst others, a NPR1-like gene was identified. Sequence analysis of this gene fragment revealed a high level of variation between the parents of a doubled haploid population. Single nucleotide polymorphism and polymerase chain reaction markers were developed and two homoeologous genes were mapped on the long arms of chromosomes 2A and 2D, respectively. Markers for both genes had significant effects on FHB resistance in a diverse collection of 178 European winter wheat cultivars evaluated in multi-environmental field trials after spray inoculation with F. culmorum. These results revealed that allelic variation in two homoeologous NPR1-like genes is associated with FHB resistance in European winter wheat. Markers for these genes might therefore be used for marker-assisted breeding programs.  相似文献

A total of 27Fusarium culmorum isolates from Germany and 41F. graminearum isolates from Kenya were investigated for aggressiveness and mycotoxin production on wheat ears. In addition, ergosterol content of the kernels from ears inoculated withF. graminearum was determined and theF. culmorum isolates were tested for mycotoxin productionin vitro. For both pathogens, isolates markedly differed in aggressiveness. 59% and 37% of theF. culmorum isolates produced NIV and DON, respectively,in vivo andin vitro. The DON-producing isolates also produced 3-acDONin vitro. The more aggressive isolates produced mainly DON while the less aggressive isolates produced mainly NIV. 12% and 85% of theF. graminearum isolates produced NIV and DON, respectively. The highly aggressive isolates produced higher amounts of DON, aggressiveness being highly correlated to DON content in the kernels. NIV-producing isolates were less aggressive. Ergosterol content of kernels was moderately correlated to aggressiveness but highly correlated to DON content. Disease severity was associated with kernel weight reduction.  相似文献

Fifty-three commercially grown cultivars and germplasm lines of winter triticale (n = 18), wheat (n = 13), and rye (n = 5) and spring triticale (n = 8), wheat (n = 7) and rye (n = 2) were inoculated at mid anthesis with a spore suspension consisting of a mixture of Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium avenaceum and Fusarium graminearum isolates of known toxinogenic activity. Reactions to Fusarium head blight were measured as disease severity, reductions of kernel number/head, kernel weight/head and 1000 kernel weight, number of Fusarium-damaged kernels and kernel content of deoxynivalenol (DON) and its acetyl-derivatives 3-AcDON, 15-AcDON, and moniliformin. None of the cereal genotypes was completely resistant to Fusarium head blight. Wheat suffered from the largest kernel weight reductions, and accumulated the largest amounts of deoxynivalenol (up to 39.5 mg/kg) and 3AcDON (up to 6.0 mg/kg) in kernels. Deoxynivalenol was not detected in grain samples of winter rye cv. Dańkowskie Z?ote, and spring rye cv. Ludowe. 15-AcDON was only detected in genotypes of triticale, and 3AcDON only in a few genotypes of winter wheat and rye. Moniliformin was detected at low concentrations (up to 0.092 mg/kg) in kernels of some genotypes selected for the mycotoxin analysis. A moderately strong Pearson correlation was found between head blight severity parameters and the accumulation of deoxynivalenol and its derivatives in grain of the cereal genotypes studied. Fusarium head blight severity parameters were correlated with the percentage of Fusarium-damaged kernels and reductions of yield components. However, some head blight-susceptible genotypes realized their potential yields, but accumulated high levels of mycotoxins in kernels. Both Fusarium head blight resistant and susceptible genotypes of the three cereal species accumulated deoxynivalenol in kernels. This finding suggests that the system regulating deoxynivalenol accumulation may be independent of Fusarium head blight reaction.  相似文献

Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by several Fusarium species is one of the most serious diseases affecting wheat throughout the world. The efficiency of microbiological assays and real-time PCRto quantify major FHB pathogens in wheat ears after inoculation with F. graminearum, F. culmorum, F. avenaceum and F. poae undergreenhouse and field conditions were evaluated. The frequency of infected kernel, content of fungal biomass, disease severity and kernel weight were determined. To measure the fungal biomass an improved DNA extraction method and a SYBR Green real-time PCR were developed. The SYBR Green real-time PCR proved to be highly specific for individual detection of the species in a matrix including fungal and plant DNA. The effect of Fusarium infection on visible FHB severity, frequency of infected kernels and thousand-kernel mass (TKM) significantly depended on the Fusarium species/isolate. F. graminearum resulted in highest disease level, frequency of infected kernels, content of fungal biomass, and TKM reduction followed by F. culmorum, EF avenaceum and F. poae, respectively. The comparison of frequency and intensity of kernel colonization proved differences in aggressiveness and development of the fungi in the kernels. Only for F. graminearum, the most aggressive isolate, application of microbiological and real-time PCR assays gave similar results. For the other species, the intensity of kernel colonization was lower than expected from the frequency of infection.  相似文献

Fusarium head blight (FHB) and the orange wheat blossom midge (OWBM) are chronic wheat diseases and pest insects, respectively, that share the wheat ear as a host from anthesis to milk development in northern China. To elucidate the interactions between the OWBM and FHB on the ears of wheat, we designed a series of experiments investigating FHB disease severity and OWBM performance in wheat exposed to FHB and OWBM individually or in combination. Our results indicated that wheat ears infected with a combination of OWBM and FHB had greatly increased disease incidence, disease severity, FHB index, FDK (Fusarium damaged kernels) and ISK index (incidence, severity, and, kernel quality index) relative to plants treated only with FHB. Furthermore, the mean percentage of OWBM infected plants and mean number of OWBM larvae per plant were slightly higher than those of plants treated with only OWBM. Wheat ears infected with a combination of OWBM and FHB showed significantly reduced yield relative to those infected by OWBM or FHB alone. These results improve our understanding of the risk posed by OWBM involvement in FHB disease epidemiology and indicate that more-comprehensive risk management may be crucial to advancing integrated pest management of wheat.  相似文献

Thirty-four genera and 92 species, in addition to two varieties of Aspergillus nidulans, were isolated from 74 soil samples collected from different localities of salt marshes in Egypt. Aspergillus (17 species in addition to 2 varieties of A. nidulans) and Penicillium (17 species) were of high occurrence, from which A. niger, A. fumigatus, A. terreus and P. notatum were dominant. Five genera were of moderate occurrence and these were Cladosporium, Fusarium, Alternaria, Mucor and Rhizopus. Nine genera were of low occurrence, namely, Drechslera, ?Trimmatostroma, Paecilomyces, Stachybotrys, Cephalosporium, Humicola, Botryotrichum, ? Geolegnia and Scopulariopsis. Statistical analyses reveal that soil samples poor in total fungi were significantly higher in total soluble salts, Na and K content than samples with numerous fungi. The difference in organic matter content between poor and rich samples was non-significant. In newly reclaimed fields along the borders of salt marshes, Fusarium was the most numerous fungal genera from soil followed by Aspergillus whereas Cladosporium was completely absent. Comparison between the present results and those of the other studies showed that there is no fungal flora characteristic of salt marshes.  相似文献

Fusarium culmorum can cause Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease of cereals, resulting in yield loss and contamination of grain with the trichothecene mycotoxin, deoxynivalenol (DON). In this study, we compared the efficacy of a biological control agent (Pseudomonas fluorescens strain MKB 158) with the biochemical chitosan (the deacetylated derivative of chitin) in controlling FHB disease of wheat and barley. Both agents were equally effective in reducing DON contamination of grain caused by F. culmorum. Under both glasshouse and field conditions, treatment with commercially available crabshell-derived chitosan reduced the severity of FHB symptom development on wheat and barley by ?74% (P ? 0.050). While treatment with P. fluorescens reduced the severity of FHB symptom development on these cereals by ?48% (P ? 0.050). Chitosan and P. fluorescens respectively prevented ?58 and ?35% of the FHB-associated reductions in 1000-grain weight in wheat and barley (P ? 0.050). Both agents significantly reduced the DON content of wheat and barley under both glasshouse and field conditions (P ? 0.050) and were equally efficacious in doing so (?74 and ?79% reductions due to chitosan and P. fluorescens, respectively). Crude chitin extracts from crabshells and crude chitosan-based formulations prepared from crabshells and eggshells were also tested under field conditions, but were not as effective as the commercial crabshell-derived preparation in controlling FHB disease. This is the first report on the use of chitosan for the control of Fusarium head blight disease and DON contamination of grain.  相似文献

A single isolates ofFusarium graminearum Schwabe KF 366 andFusarium culmorum (W.G.Sm.) Sacc. KF 365 were used to infect 10 genotypes (9 lines and one cultivar) of winter triticale, 1 rye cultivar and 1 wheat cultivar, and amounts of mycotoxins in kernels were analysed at the same stage of development. One genotype of triticale CHD 353/79 and rye “Chodan” were found to be most resistant towards both species infection with lowest amount of mycotoxins (deoxynivalenol) content in kernels and also the lowest yield reduction. The most susceptible line CZR 142 cumulated in kernels about ten times higher amount of mycotoxins (up 53 mg DON/kg and 16 mg 3AcDON/kg, and 5 mg zearalenone/kg). GenerallyF, culmorum formed higher level of mycotoxins in kernels of infected heads thanF. graminearum. In kernels of more susceptible genotypes except deoxynivalenol, 3 acetyldeoxynivalenol and zearalenone also were present.  相似文献

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most damaging diseases of wheat. FHB is caused by a species complex that includes two genera of Ascomycetes: Microdochium and Fusarium. Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium poae, and Microdochium nivale are among the most common FHB species in Europe and were chosen for these experiments. Field studies and surveys show that two or more species often coexist within the same field or grain sample. In this study, we investigated the competitiveness of isolates of different species against isolates of F. graminearum at the scale of a single spike. By performing point inoculations of a single floret, we ensured that each species was able to establish independent infections and competed for spike colonization only. The fungal colonization was assessed in each spike by quantitative PCR. After establishing that the spike colonization was mainly downwards, we compared the relative colonization of each species in coinoculations. Classical analysis of variance suggested a competitive interaction but remained partly inconclusive because of a large between-spike variance. Further data exploration revealed a clear exclusion of one of the competing species and the complete absence of coexistence at the spike level.  相似文献

Fusarium species infecting heads of Triticale and mycotoxins presence in infected kernels and chaff were studied during two seasons. The most important species observed on infected heads were in 1986F. avenaceum (39%),F. nivale (21%),F. culmorum (20%),F. graminearum (14%), and others (6%). In 1987 after long and snowy winterF. nivale dominated (64%), followed byF. avenaceum (24%),F. culmorum (6%), andF. graminearum (5%). The mycotoxins deoxynivalenol (DON) and 3-acetyl DON were present in all 11 subsamples of kernels from heads infected byF. culmorum and/orF. Graminearum (1.6–16.4 mg and 0.7–2.4mg/kg, respectively). Chaff from the same subsamples contained 9.9–33.2mg/kg of DON and 5.2–16.0mg/kg of 3-AcDON. Kernels with visibleFusarium-damage contained 2.4–31.2 mg/kg of DON and 1.2–6.0 mg/kg of 3-AcDON. Remaining part of kernels without symptoms of visibleFusarium-damage contained only DON in an amount of 0.9–5.9 mg/kg.  相似文献

Besides peanuts and cottonseed, cereal grains are the most important feed and food source that occasionally are naturally contaminated with mycotoxins. The problem of mycotoxins occurring naturally in cereals, especially in corn, has become trouble-some because of changing agricultural technology. The mycotoxin problem in cereals is not restricted to any geographic or climatic region. Toxins are produced on cereals, both in the field and in storage; they involve both the grain and the whole plant. The genera of fungi most involved areAspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium andClaviceps. Mycotoxins known to occur naturally in cereals include aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2-as well as aflatoxins M1 and M2-ochratoxins A and B, penicillic acid, patulin, ergot, zearalenone, citrinin, T-2, tenuazonic acid, kojic acid and sterigmatocystin. Of these mycotoxins, aflatoxins, patulin, penicillic acid and sterigmatocystin are carcinogens.  相似文献

Fungal disease of grain crops is a concern for the agricultural industry, resulting in economic losses. Aside from severe yield losses, mycotoxigenic fungi such as Penicillium and Fusarium can produce harmful mycotoxins, including deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEN), and ochratoxin A (OTA). This proof-of-concept study explored the feasibility and effects of ultraviolet (UV) C light at 253.7 nm to reduce fungal and mycotoxin loads on model surfaces as well as on maize and wheat kernels using benchtop 2D and 3D illumination strategies. Reduction of Penicillium verrucosum (98.6%) and Fusarium graminearum (88.8%) on agar was achieved using a UV-C dose of 100 mJ cm?2. Naturally occurring fungal growth resembling P. verrucosum on maize was reduced by 79% after exposure to 5000 mJ cm?2. Similarly, fungal growth resembling F. graminearum on maize was reduced by 60% with 1000 mJ cm?2. On wheat, significant reduction of fungal growth was not observed. Maximal reduction of DON (97.3%), ZEN (75.4%), and OTA (91.2%) on filter paper was obtained using 15,000 mJ cm?2. The overall reduction of DON (30%; 14%), ZEN (52%; 42%), and OTA (17%; 6%) on maize and wheat, respectively, was lower than on filter paper. Moisture and crude protein content as well as percent germination of maize kernels were not affected by UV-C treatment up to 5000 mJ cm?2. This study has shown that 3D UV-C treatment is a feasible option for reducing Fusarium and Penicillium growth on maize kernels and, at higher doses, decreasing ZEN by ~?50%.  相似文献

At anthesis, under field conditions at Fundulea, each of 6 Romanian winter wheat genotypes was inoculated with 3Fusarium graminearum isolates used individually.Fusarium head blight (FHB) was assessed according to the following traits: relative weight of spikes (RWS), percentage of Fusarium damaged kernels (FDK), relative weight of kernels per head (RWKH), area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) and deoxynivalenol (DON) content in total sample of kernels. Correlations between these traits and parameters revealed important differences between examined wheat genotypes in: DON accumulation, progress of FHB development, yield reduction, and models of host — pathogen interactions in theTriticum - Fusarium pathosystem. Significant correlations between different attributes of FHB were found forFusarium isolate 1 which is a moderate producer of DON (0.89 μg g-1). Weight of spike was significantly correlated with weight of kernels per spike (r = 0.93**) and with percentage of damaged kernels (r = - 0.87**), while FDK was highly correlated with RWKH (r = - 0.85*) and with DON content (r = 0.82*). Area under the disease progress curve was also found to be significantly correlated with DON content (r = 0.86*).  相似文献

Winter wheat cultivar Basalt was artificially inoculated with Fusarium culmorum at the end of anthesis and treated with the systemic fungicide tebuconazole (Folicur®) a few days before and/or after inoculation. Check plots remained uninoculated and unsprayed. Head infections, yield, yield components and the percentage of Fusarium‐ infected kernels were determined. Artificial Fusarium inoculation lowered yield significantly by 24.2‐45.0%. Any fungicide treatment saved yield, thousand grain weight and kernel numbers per head. Pre‐infectional application of tebuconazole was superior to application carried out post‐infection. Moreover, the fungicide controlled deoxynivalenol (DON) synthesis in the field to a considerable extent, and enabled good control of Fusarium head blight, glume blotch and the percentage of Fusarium‐infected kernels. The levels of Fusarium kernel infection after harvest clearly reflected the DON content of w heat grain.  相似文献
