植物病原真菌附着胞的机械穿透力

植物病原真菌侵入寄主组织并在寄主组织中生长是其致病的基本条件(Deising et al., 2000; Hartmann et al.,1996; Tucker & Talbot, 2001; Buller,1931).但是,关于病原真菌是靠机械力还是酶解作用,亦或是二者结合穿透寄主的争论,已经持续了多年(Latunde-Dada,2001;Mendgen et al.,1996).许多植物病原菌能形成称为附着胞的特异侵染结构,可以产生很大的机械压力,推动侵染菌丝侵入寄主组织.顶端生长是菌丝生长的特点之一,通过顶端生长,可以侵入固体基质获取营养.真菌细胞内的渗透压是维持顶端生长、推动病原真菌侵入寄主的动力.早在1931年, Buller(1931)在一个简单的实验中已经观察到真菌菌丝细胞内巨大膨压的产生并转化为压力的现象:一种鬼伞Coprinus sterquilinus的菌柄直径仅有6mm,却可以撑起200g的重物,压强至少可达0.07 MPa (0.7 bar).许多蘑菇种类可以顶起障碍物及顶开沥青路面或石块等,都显示了菌丝的膨压可以使菌丝细胞产生很大的机械强度.最近关于稻瘟病菌Magnaporthe grisea的研究结果表明,病菌可以产生足够的机械力直接穿透水稻的表皮细胞(De Jong et al.,1997).本文对真菌穿透寄主的机械力的研究进展进行简述.

Biological control of phytopathogenic fungi through lytic action of Trichoderma species

Abstract The antagonistic effect of Trichoderma reesei and Trichoderma harzianum was studied towards a range of phytopathogenic fungi; Alternia solani, Botrytis fabae, Cladosporium cucumerinum, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium tricintum . Coculture of the phytopathogens and Trichodema under laboratory conditions clearly showed dominance of the Trichoderma species. In all cases, Trichoderma overgrew the phytopathogens and subsequently developed a conidial lawn over the surface. In these studies the lytic action of the pathogen was clearly apparent and the inhibition of growth appears directly related to its ability to hydrolyze the cell walls of the tested microorganisms rather than through the inhibitory action of antibiotics or toxins. Proteinase, mannanase, laminarinase and chitinase activities were determined in the extracellular fluid of Trichoderma . Glucose and laminaribiose were detected after the in vitro hydrolysis of the cell walls of the phytopathogens. The data imply that the nature of T. reesei and T. harzianum antagonism is based on mycoparasitism (lysis) and appears to optimalize with contact between the mycelia.     

植物病原真菌致病毒素草酸的研究进展

许多植物病原菌可以分泌草酸,草酸作为致病的关键因子在病原菌的侵染过程中发挥着重要作用,并与病原菌的致病性、毒性有密切关系。草酸可通过氧化和脱羧两条途径进行降解,因此可以将草酸降解酶基因导入植物,从而获得对这类病害的抗性。     

Proteomic analysis of the phytopathogenic soilborne fungus Verticillium dahliae reveals differential protein expression in isolates that differ in aggressiveness

Verticillium dahliae is a soilborne fungus that causes a vascular wilt disease of plants and losses in a broad range of economically important crops worldwide. In this study, we compared the proteomes of highly (Vd1396‐9) and weakly (Vs06‐14) aggressive isolates of V. dahliae to identify protein factors that may contribute to pathogenicity. Twenty‐five protein spots were consistently observed as differential in the proteome profiles of the two isolates. The protein sequences in the spots were identified by LC‐ESI‐MS/MS and MASCOT database searches. Some of the identified sequences shared homology with fungal proteins that have roles in stress response, colonization, melanin biosynthesis, microsclerotia formation, antibiotic resistance, and fungal penetration. These are important functions for infection of the host and survival of the pathogen in soil. One protein found only in the highly aggressive isolate was identified as isochorismatase hydrolase, a potential plant‐defense suppressor. This enzyme may inhibit the production of salicylic acid, which is important for plant defense response signaling. Other sequences corresponding to potential pathogenicity factors were identified in the highly aggressive isolate. This work indicates that, in combination with functional genomics, proteomics‐based analyses can provide additional insights into pathogenesis and potential management strategies for this disease.     

Antifungal activity of Tagetes patula extracts on some phytopathogenic fungi: ultrastructural evidence on Pythium ultimum

Methanol extract, obtained from Tagetes patula plant, was assayed against three phytopathogenic fungi: Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium moniliforme and Pythium ultimum. The antifungal activity was tested both in the dark and in the light, using two different lighting systems. The data showed that the extract proved to have a dose-dependent activity on all the fungi with a marked difference between treatments in the light than in the dark. Good growth inhibition was observed in fungi only when these were treated with the highest dose of the extract and irradiated, whereas the same dose gave only a modest inhibition when the experiment was conducted in the dark. At 5 and 10 microg/ml in the dark, growth increased. The results indicated that the presence of a luminous source enhances the antifungal activity, with small differences between UV-A and solar spectrum light. SEM and TEM observations on Pythium ultimum revealed that the Tagetes patula extract induced alterations on cell fungal membranes with a photoactivation mechanism possibly involving the production of free radicals and leading to a premature aging of the mycelium.     

Aerial diffusion of phytopathogenic fungi

Summary Aeriobiological studies are essential for understanding the distribution, ecology and deposition patterns of both phytopathogenic and nonpathogenic fungal spores which are carried away from their source. Many spores and conidia are devitalized during aerial transportation as a consequence of being exposed to atmospheric agents. Nonetheless, a sufficient number remain viable, causing infections of various kinds, some of which extremely serious and with an epidemic trend.In order to predict the onset of fungi-induced diseases, it is necessary to be able to determine the inoculum source of the pathogenic agent. As air is the main vector transporting pathogenic fungal spores and conidia, periodical monitoring is required. Thus, having established the critical stages of plant infection, necessary precautionary measures can be undertaken in order to control diseases onset and development.It is therefore necessary to gain a through understanding of spore takeoff and dispersal mechanisms so as to determine how the spores and conidia are transported by air currents onto the plants and how they cause infective impaction. Spores and conidia suspended in the atmosphere can be collected by means of appropriate traps filtering a predetermined amount of air at predetermined time intervals in order to be able to make predictions as to the possibility of plant infection. Volumetric air sampling allows not only to determine the concentration of spores and conidia in a given period of time but also to establish the hours of the day in which they are present in highest concentrations and in which therefore they are more liable to cause infection. This information may be used in estimating the incidence of disease symptoms, the duration of infection and the seriousness of the disease.On the basis of this data, mathematical models for predicting epidemics can be worked out.     

Antifungal potential of extracellular metabolites produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus against phytopathogenic fungi

Indigenous actinomycetes isolated from rhizosphere soils were assessed for in vitro antagonism against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Sclerotium rolfsii. A potent antagonist against both plant pathogenic fungi, designated SRA14, was selected and identified as Streptomyces hygroscopicus. The strain SRA14 highly produced extracellular chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase during the exponential and late exponential phases, respectively. Culture filtrates collected from the exponential and stationary phases inhibited the growth of both the fungi tested, indicating that growth suppression was due to extracellular antifungal metabolites present in culture filtrates. The percentage of growth inhibition by the stationary culture filtrate was significantly higher than that of exponential culture filtrate. Morphological changes such as hyphal swelling and abnormal shapes were observed in fungi grown on potato dextrose agar that contained the culture filtrates. However, the antifungal activity of exponential culture filtrates against both the experimental fungi was significantly reduced after boiling or treatment with proteinase K. There was no significant decrease in the percentage of fungal growth inhibition by the stationary culture filtrate that was treated as above. These data indicated that the antifungal potential of the exponential culture filtrate was mainly due to the presence of extracellular chitinase enzyme, whereas the antifungal activity of the stationary culture filtrate involved the action of unknown thermostable antifungal compound(s).     

Microsatellite repeat dynamics in mitochondrial genomes of phytopathogenic fungi: frequency and distribution in the genic and intergenic regions

The frequency and distribution of microsatellites were analyzed in the 19 mitogenomes of phytopathogenic fungi covering five phyla. Our analysis revealed that in all the mitogenomes studied, the frequency and relative abundance varied, and it was neither influenced by genome size nor by GC content. SSRs were found to be differential distributed in genic and intergenic regions. An average of 5.14 (23.6%) SSRs were present in genic sequences and 21.7 (76.4%) SSRs were located in the intergenic sequences. Relative abundance of SSRs in mitogenomes was the highest in Aspergillus tubigensis, whereas, it was the least in Phaeosphaeria nodurum, the average being 0.45. Trinucleotide repeats were the most abundant motifs in the genic and intergenic regions of the mitogenomes of the phytopathogenic fungi. Among the genes, cox1 harbors the maximum SSRs, whereas cox3 and nad 7 contain the least. Based on the presence of SSRs in a particular gene, genetic relationships among individual organisms were also established.
