In the present study, 12 varieties of tomato, viz., Arka Vikas, Damayanti, F-hybrid, Hybrid Padmarag, Hybrid Tripti, Marudam, Punjab chhoara, Pusa early dwarf, Punjab kesari, P.K.M.I, Roma and Pusa Ruby were screened for the presence of the root-knot nematode, M. javanica to obtain information on the varying degrees of resistances to tomato cultivars. All the cultivars of tomato tested were found to be infected with the root-knot nematode, M. javanica, however, to a varying extent. Consequently, there was a reduction in the growth parameters of cultivars leading to have an impact on the yield and quality of fruits. The cultivar, Marudam was found resistant while the cultivar the Pusa early dwarf was moderately resistant and rest of the 10 cultivars was highly susceptible. 相似文献

Dicyphus maroccanus Wagner and Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter (Hemiptera: Miridae) are 2 biological control agents in tomatoes. Through the crop seasons, a natural shift in the occurrence of both mirids in favor of N. tenuis has been observed at the end of the cropping cycle in eastern Spain. To better optimize their conservation, the reasons for the observed change, such as intraguild interactions (IGP) or the influence of environmental conditions, are worth elucidating. To do this, we first studied the IGP of adult females on heterospecific nymphs in the laboratory. We next studied exploitative competition between adults and nymphs of each species when feeding on Ephestia kueniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) eggs in the laboratory. Finally, to analyze the competitive displacement between both mirids, we conducted a semifield experiment in which both predators were released together. All experiments were conducted at 2 temperature regimes (20 and 25°C). Adult‐to‐nymph intraguild interactions occurred only at 25 ºC at very low levels, showing that N. tenuis attacked and consumed a greater proportion of heterospecific nymphs. Nesidiocoris tenuis was a better competitor than D. maroccanus when feeding on the shared prey in the presence of its heterospecific nymph at 25 ºC. In semifield conditions, N. tenuis showed a competitive advantage over D. maroccanus at both temperatures. We conclude that there is not direct interference between both species, however, N. tenuis has a greater ability to outcompete, since it is best adapted to higher temperatures and it is able to remove food sources for D. maroccanus. 相似文献

An invasive new biotype of the tomato/potato psyllid (Bactericera [Paratrioza] cockerelli [Sulc.]) (Homoptera: Psyllidae) recently has caused losses exceeding 50% on fresh market tomatoes in western North America. Despite these extensive losses, little is known regarding the threshold levels at which populations must be suppressed in order to prevent economic losses. A series of experiments were therefore designed using combinations of two common tomato cultivars (QualiT 21 and Yellow Pear), five pest-densities (0, 20, 30, 40 and 50 nymphs/plant), and three feeding-duration (5 days, 10 days, and lifetime) treatments to test the relative importance of pest density, feeding period, and cumulative psyllid-days to establish economic threshold levels for psyllids. The cultivars differed considerably in their response to the toxin injected by the psyllid nymphs. ‘Yellow Pear' plants could recover from feeding by up to 40 nymphs for as long as 10 d, whereas ‘QualiT 21' plants were irreparably damaged by densities of 20 nymphs feeding for only 5 days. On ‘Yellow Pear', all plant measurements such as the number of yellow leaves and plant height were significantly better correlated with cumulative psyUid-days than with either pest density or feeding duration. On ‘QualiT 21 ', all plant measurements other than the number of yellow leaflets and leaves were significantly better correlated with pest density than with feeding duration or cumulative psyUid-days, and pest density was a better predictor of psyUid damage. Potential reasons for the variable responses between cultivars and the implications for psyllid sampling and integrated pest management are discussed. 相似文献

The efficacy of one new modified and two old meridic diets on Helicoverpa armigera Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) for rearing six successive generations was studied. Duration of larval development for insects fed on the modified diet was considerably shortened as most of them went through only five stadia before pupation, while the per cent pupation and per cent eclosion were relatively higher than on other diets. The lowest pupal mortality (6.33 ± 0.13%) was recorded in the F1 generation reared on the modified diet, whereas the highest pupal mortality (19.49 ± 0.15%) was observed in insects reared on a natural diet in the F6 generation. Blending of chickpea Cicer arietinum L. and red kidney bean Phaseolus vulgaris L. flours with tomato paste proved highly favorable for adult reproduction. These results suggest that the vitality of the tomato fruitworm did not decline obviously after rearing on a modified diet for several generations. 相似文献

Effects of NaCl stress on germination, antioxidant responses, and proline content in two rice cultivars 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We investigated the physiological and biochemical bases for salt tolerance in two rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars — relatively salt-tolerant ‘Dongjin’ and salt-sensitive ‘Kumnam’. Salinized hydroponic cultures were studied
at the germination and seedling stages. NaCI inhibited germination more severely in ‘Kumnam’ than in ‘Dongjin’. Increasing
the salt concentration also deterred growth to a larger extent in the former. Moreover, the leaves of ‘Kumnam’ exhibited greater
increases in lipid peroxidation and Na+ accumulation than those of ‘Dongjin’ under stress. The activities of constitutive and salt-induced superoxide dismutase (SOD,
EC 1.15.1.1) and ascorbate peroxidase (AP, EC 1.11.1.11) were also higher in ‘Kumnam’, while only catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6)
activity was slightly higher in stressed plants of ‘Dongjin’. The positive correlation between leaf proline levels and NaCI
concentration was more evident in ‘Kumnam’. However, ‘Dongjin’ seeds, which had higher germinability in the presence of NaCI,
also contained more proline. These results suggest that the higher salt tolerance in ‘Dongjin’ seedlings could be ascribed
to their lower NaCI accumulations in the leaves. This presumably is due to reductions in the uptake or transport rates of
saline ions to the shoots from the roots. Finally, we believe that the higher germination rate by ‘Dongjin’ is caused by its
higher seed proline content. 相似文献

Aqueous extracts of 39 plants selected from local flora were evaluated for antifungal potential against Alternaria solani, causing early blight of tomato, at 4% concentration in Potato Dextrose Agar by poison food technique. Out of these, 13 plant extracts significantly reduced the mycelial growth of the pathogen, according to ANOVA, Tukey’s post-test. Inhibition rate of above 20% was shown by seven plant extracts namely Crotalaria trichotoma (36.6%), Citrus aurantifolia (27.3%), Azadirachta indica (23.7%), Polyalthia longifolia (23.3%), Datura metel (21.3%), Muntingia calabura (20.09%) and Oxalis latifolia (20.09%). At 2% concentration, six extracts showed significant growth inhibition namely, C. trichotoma (16.6%), A. indica (10%), Capsicum annum (7.1%), D. metel (6.6%), P. longifolia (6.3%) and C. aurantifolia (5.5%). The plant extracts shortlisted for pathogen inhibition have potential to be developed as potent fungicides in organic farming. 相似文献

This paper reports a comparative study based on the antioxidant compounds, total phenol content and antioxidant activities of leaves, stems and fruits from the main Tunisian cultivars, ‘chetoui’ and ‘chemchali’, grown in two different locations, north and south of Tunisia. The repartition of olive phenolic compounds was organ dependant. Therefore, the HPLC analysis indicated that the olive organs from the northern cultivar had the highest level of hydroxybenzoic acids, hydroxycinnamic acids and flavonoid class; which were less in the southern cultivar. Principal component analysis of the phenolic compounds showed discrimination between methanol extracts of the organs olive. Significant differences (p < 0.05) in the levels of phenols, orthodiphenols and flavonoids were found between cultivars and between organs. Antioxidant activities of the methanolic extract from aerial parts of the two studied cultivars were evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) assays. In all tests, methanolic extracts of different olive parts showed higher antioxidant activity. These results can be used to discriminate and to characterize the ‘chetoui’ and ‘chemchali’ aerial parts. 相似文献

Effect of drought on biomass, protein content, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes in two sesame cultivars 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The effects of drought on growth, protein content, lipid peroxidation, superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POX), catalase
(CAT) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) were studied in leaves and roots of Sesamum indicum L. cvs. Darab 14 and Yekta. Four weeks after sowing, plants were grown under soil moisture corresponding to 100, 75, 50 and
25 % field capacity for next four weeks. Fresh and dry masses, and total protein content in leaves and roots decreased obviously
under drought. However, several new proteins appeared and content of some proteins was affected. Measurement of malondialdehyde
content in leaves and roots showed that lipid peroxidation was lower in Yekta than in Darab 14. Severe stress increased SOD,
POX, CAT and PPO activities in leaves and roots, especially in Yekta. According to the present study Yekta is more resistant
to drought than Darab 14. 相似文献

The damage caused by the tomato leaf miner Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) to 12 tomato cultivars was investigated under greenhouse conditions. The 2 cultivars Korral and CH Falat experienced lower damage in terms of all parameters investigated, whereas the cultivars Valouro and Cal JN3 were categorized as the most susceptible host plants. The larvae feeding on CH Falat and Korral cultivars reached the lowest final weight (1.82 and 1.93 mg, respectively), whereas those reared on the Valouro and Cal JN3 cultivars reached the highest body weight (3.42 and 3.33 mg, respectively). The highest proteolytic and amylolytic activity was detected in larvae feeding on the Korral cultivar, whereas larvae reared on the Valouro cultivar had the lowest enzyme activity for both third and fourth instar larvae. Altogether, the Korral and CH Falat cultivars were classified as relatively resistant cultivars, whereas the 2 cultivars Valouro and Cal JN3 were categorized as highly susceptible to infection by T. absoluta. Therefore, the resistant cultivars can be considered as candidates for use in integrated management programs of the tomato leaf miner in Iran. 相似文献

Tomato line LA1478 and Pusa Ruby were resistant to tomato leaf curl virus (TLCV) disease. They registered higher plant height, number of branches, total phenol content and yield per plant than the other cultivars. Variety Peto 86 was tolerant to the disease while the other popular tomato cultivars, i.e. Ace, Early Pack, Money Maker, Prichard and Strain B were highly susceptible to the disease. Plant height and number of branches per plant revealed significantly positive association with fruit yield per plant. The disease index of TLCV exhibited significant negative correlations with plant height, total phenol content and fruit yield per plant – 0–4 and 5–25 adult whiteflies were observed on resistant susceptible cultivars. In the case of epiphytically colonisation by Beauveria bassiana conidia, not all developing hyphae on the leaf surface penetrated the whitefly cuticle. Many of the germ tubes elongated to a short distance before terminating its growth. On the other hand, the rapid staining of tomato tissues injected with B. bassiana conidial suspension indicates that the entomopathogenic fungus was established inside tomato tissues until the end time of the trial. The direct injection with the spore suspension yielded high post-colonisation, where the fungus was recovered from sites distant from the point of inoculation. This indicates that the fungus has the potential to move throughout the plant tissues. Laboratory bioassay of tomato whitefly feeding on tomato tissues containing B. bassiana conidial spores indicates that plant endophytic colonisation with entomopathogenic fungi may reduce insect survival on these plants. LT50 values of the test diet were between three and four days. The mortality of Bemisia tabaci was high in the case of endophytically colonisation compared to epiphytically one (90.0% compared to 10.0% during three days) for whiteflies fed tomato tissues containing 1.5 × 107 B. bassiana spores/ml. Application of B. bassiana as an artificial endophyte inside tomato plants can be an important component in the integrated control of tomato whiteflies. The endophytic colonising can achieve biocontrol effect based on induced disease resistance in plant tissues. According the available references, this is the first report on B. tabaci controlling by plant endophytic treatment. 相似文献

The unconjugated N-glycans Manα1→6(Manα→3)Manα1→6(Manα1→3)-Manβ1→4GlcNAc (Man5GlcNAc) and Manα1→6(Manα1→3)(Xy1β1→2)-Manβ1→4GlcNAcβ1→4(Fucα1→3)GlcNAc were shown to stimulate and delay ripening of mature green tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Rutgers) at 1 and 10 ng (g fresh weight)−1, respectively (Priem and Gross 1992, Plant Physiol. 98: 399–401). Also, the occurrence and structure of 10 unconjugated N-glycans, including Man5GlcNAc, in tomato fruit were recently reported (Priem et al. 1993, Plant Physiol. 102: 445–458). In this work, we studied the potential interaction between Man5GlcNAc and several compounds by using a system that allowed pericarp discs to be kept up to 14 days after excision. Studies were performed to determine the effect of Man5GlcNAc, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), concanavalin A and tomato lectin on ripening as defined by red coloration of the skin. Ripening in pericarp discs, unlike that in intact fruit, was unaffected by 1 ng (g fresh weight)−1 Man5GlcNAc. However, discs showed delayed ripening with 10 ng (g fresh weight)−1, and the delay of coloration was galactose dependent. Man5GlcNAc at 10 ng (g fresh weight)−1 inhibited the stimulation of coloration induced by 100 μ IAA in the presence of 40 μg (g fresh weight)−1 galactose. Man5GlcNAc lost biological activity in the presence of the two lectins. These results support the possible interaction of IAA and various oligosaccharides during plant growth and development, and for the first time suggest a physiological significance for tomato lectin. 相似文献

The changes in the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD: EC 1.15.1.1), catalase (CAT: EC 1.11.1.6), peroxidase (POX: EC 1.11.1.7), ascorbate peroxidase (APOX: EC 1.11.1.11) and glutathione reductase (GR: EC 1.6.4.2), free proline content, and the rate of lipid peroxidation level in terms of malondialdehyde (MDA) in roots of two rice cultivars (cvs.) differing in salt tolerance were investigated. Plants were subjected to three salt treatments, 0, 60, and 120 mol m−3 NaCl for 7 days. The results showed that activated oxygen species may play a role in cellular toxicity of NaCl and indicated differences in activation of antioxidant defense systems between the two cvs. The roots of both cultivars showed a decrease in GR activity with increase in salinity. CAT and APOX activities increased with increasing salt stress in roots of salt-tolerant cultivar Pokkali but decreased and showed no change, respectively, in roots of IR-28 cultivar. POX activity decreased with increasing NaCl concentrations in salt-tolerant Pokkali but increased in IR-28. SOD activity showed no change in roots of both cultivars under increasing salinity. MDA level in the roots increased under salt stress in sensitive IR-28 but showed no change in Pokkali. IR-28 produced higher amount of proline under salt stress than in Pokkali. Increasing NaCl concentration caused a reduction in root fresh weight of Pokkali and root dry weight of IR-28. The results indicate that improved tolerance to salt stress in root tissues of rice plants may be accomplished by increased capacity of antioxidative system. 相似文献

The present study describes the total phenolic content, concentrations of flavonoids and in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of methanol extracts from Seseli pallasii Besser, S. libanotis (L.) Koch ssp. libanotis and S. libanotis (L.) Koch ssp. intermedium (Rupr.) P. W. Ball, growing wild in Serbia. The total phenolic content in the extracts was determined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and their amounts ranged between 84.04 to 87.52 mg GA (gallic acid)/g. The concentrations of flavonoids in the extracts varied from 4.75 to 19.37 mg Qu (quercetin)/g. Antioxidant activity was analyzed using DPPH reagent. Antioxidant activity ranged from 0.46 to 4.63 IC50 (mg/ml) and from 1.98 to 2.19 mg VitC (vitamin C)/g when tested with the DPPH and ABTS reagents, respectively, using BHA and VitC as controls. The antimicrobial activity of the extracts was investigated using a micro-well dilution assay for the most common human gastrointestinal pathogenic bacterial strains: Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027, Salmonella enteritidis ATCC 13076, Bacillus cereus ATCC 10876, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC15313, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Candida albicans ATCC 10231. This finding suggests that Seseli species may be considered as a natural source of antioxidants and antimicrobial agents. 相似文献

Human infection with parasites is still one of the big problems worldwide. Medicinal plants succeeded to overcome a variety of protozoan and helminthic parasites. In this study, Salvadora persica root extracts (SE) were used to treat helminthosis and coccideosis. Three doses were used (200, 100 and 50 mg/ml) to study the anthelmintic activity of S. persica. Allolobophora caliginosa was used as a model worm. Also, Albendazole was used as a reference drug. In order to study the anticoccideal activity of SE, a group of mice were infected with Eimeria papillata sporulated oocysts. Experimental mice were treated with SE (300 mg/Kg) for 5 days. The extract was able to decrease the number of meronts and gamonts of the parasite in jejunum. Also, it regulates the level of glutathione and malondialdehyde and the activity of catalase as well. We conclude that S. persica possesses a powerful Anthelmintic, anticoccidial and antioxidant activity. 相似文献

Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum , is responsible for severe losses in tomato crops in the world. In the present study, the effect of temperature, cultivars of tomato, injury of root system and inoculums load of R. solanacearum to cause bacterial wilt disease under control conditions was undertaken. Three strains UTT-25, HPT-3 and JHT-5 of R. solanacearum were grown at 5–40?°C in vitro to study, the effect of temperature on the growth of bacteria and maximum growth was found at 30?°C after 72?h in all the strains. Twenty-one days old seedlings of two cultivars of tomato i.e. N-5 (moderately resistant) and Pusa Ruby (highly susceptible) were transplanted into the pots and inoculated with R. solanacearum strain UTT-25 (5 × 108?cfu/ml), mechanically injured and uninjured roots of the plant. The plants were allowed to grow at 20, 25, 30 and 35?°C at National Phytotron Facility, IARI, New Delhi to study the effect of temperature on intensity of bacterial wilt disease. Maximum wilt disease intensity was found 98.73 and 95.9 % in injured roots of Pusa Ruby and N-5 cultivars of tomato at 35?°C on 11th days of inoculation, respectively. However, no wilt disease was observed in both the cultivars at 20?°C up to 60?days. For detection of R. solanacearum from asymptomatic tomato plants, hrpB-based sequence primers (Hrp_rs2F and Hrp_rs2R) amplified at 323?bp was used in bio-PCR to detect R. solanacearum from crown, mid part of stem and upper parts of the plant. Another experiment was conducted to find out the inoculum potential of R. solanacearum strain UTT-25 to cause bacterial wilt in susceptible cultivar Pusa Ruby. The bacteria were inoculated at concentration of bacterial suspension 10 to 1010?cfu/ml in injured and uninjured roots of the plants separately and injured root accelerated wilt incidence and able to cause wilt disease 63.3% by 100?cfu/ml of R. solanacearum, while no disease appeared at 10?cfu/ml on the 11th day of inoculation in injured and uninjured roots of the plant. 相似文献

Altered plastid levels and potential for improved fruit nutrient content by downregulation of the tomato DDB1-interacting protein CUL4 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Fruits are a major source of nutrition in human diets, providing carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and phytonutrients. Carotenoids are a principal class of compounds found in many fruits, providing nutritional benefits both as precursors to essential vitamins and as antioxidants. Molecular characterization revealed that the tomato high pigment mutant genes ( hp1 and hp2 ) encode UV-DAMAGED DNA BINDING PROTEIN-1 (DDB1) and DE-ETIOLATED-1 (DET1) homologs, respectively, and both are essential components of the recently identified CUL4-based E3 ligase complex. Here we have isolated a tomato CUL4 homolog and performed yeast two-hybrid assays to suggest possible association of tomato DDB1 with CUL4 and DET1. Real-time RT-PCR analysis indicated that both HP1 and CUL4 are expressed constitutively. Abscisic acid is implicated in plastid division control and its application substantially enhances HP1/DDB1 mRNA accumulation. Transformation of constructs expressing CUL4–YFP and DDB1–YFP fusion proteins driven by the CaMV 35S promoter reveals that both CUL4 and DDB1 are targeted to tomato plastids and nuclei simultaneously. Using fruit-specific promoters combined with RNAi technology, we show that downregulated DDB1 expression in transgenic fruits results in a significant increase in the number of plastids and corresponding enhanced pigment accumulation. CUL4-RNAi repression lines provide insight regarding CUL4 function during tomato development, and reveal that this tomato cullin is important in the regulation of plastid number and pigmentation, which in turn have a direct impact on fruit nutrient quality. 相似文献
