Invasive alien plants impact ecosystems, which often necessitates their removal. Where indigenous species recovery fails following removal alone, an active intervention involving reintroduction of seed of native species may be needed. This study investigated the potential for a combination of the fire cues of smoke and heat as a pre‐treatment of seeds in breaking dormancy and facilitating increased germination. Species were selected to represent different functional types within Cape Flats Sand Fynbos; a fire‐prone, critically endangered vegetation type in South Africa. Seeds were exposed to either a heat pulse (temperatures between 60 and 300°C for durations of between 30 s and 20 min) or dry after‐ripening (1 or 2 months at milder temperatures of 45°C or less). Thereafter, seeds were soaked in smoke solution for 18 h and subsequently placed on agar at 10/20°C for germination. Most species fell into one of two main groups: Seed germination in the first group was greatest following a lower temperature (60°C) heat pulse, an extended period of mild temperature (20/40°C or 45°C) exposure, or no pre‐treatment with heat. Seed germination in the second group was promoted after brief exposure to higher (100°C) temperatures. No germination occurred in any species following heat treatments of 150°C or higher. Species which responded better to higher temperatures were mainly those possessing physical dormancy, but seed morphology did not correlate with germination success. This study showed that heat stimulation of seeds is more widespread in fynbos plant families than previously known and will enable the development of better seed pre‐treatment protocols before large‐scale sowing as an active restoration treatment after alien plant clearing.  相似文献

A series of experiments were designed to study the effect of elevated temperatures on developmental competence of bovine oocytes and embryos produced in vitro. In experiment 1, the effect of heat shock (HS) by a mild elevated temperature (40.5°C) for 0, 30, or 60 min on the viability of in vitro matured (IVM) oocytes was tested following in vitro fertilization (IVF) and culture. No significant difference was observed between the control (39°C) and the heat‐treated groups in cleavage, blastocyst formation, or hatching (P > 0.05). In experiment 2, when the HS temperature was increased to 41.5°C, neither the cleavage rate nor blastocyst development was affected by treatment. However, the rate of blastocyst hatching appeared lower in the HS groups (13% in control group vs. 3.9% and 5.6% in 30 min and 60 min, respectively; P < 0.05). When IVM oocytes were treated at 43°C prior to IVF (experiment 3), no difference was detected in blastocyst and expanded blastocyst development following heat treatment for 0, 15, or 30 min, but heat treatment of oocytes for 45 or 60 min significantly reduced blastocyst and expanded blastocyst formation (P < 0.05). In experiment 4, the thermotolerance of day 3 and day 4 bovine IVF embryos were compared. When embryos were pre‐treated with a mild elevated temperature (40.5°C) for 1 hr, and then with a higher temperature (43°C) for 1 hr, no improvement in thermotolerance of the embryos was observed as compared to those treated at 43°C alone. However, a higher thermotolerance was observed in day 4 than day 3 embryos. In conclusion, treatment at 43°C, but not 40.5°C or 41.5°C significantly reduced oocyte developmental competence. An increase in thermotolerance was observed from day 3 to day 4 of in vitro embryonic development, which corresponds to the maternal to zygotic transition of gene expression in bovine embryos. Mol.

Shallow marine calcifiers play an important role as marine ecosystem engineers and in the global carbon cycle. Understanding their response to warming is essential to evaluate the fate of marine ecosystems under global change scenarios. A rare opportunity to test the effect of warming acting on natural ecosystems is by investigation of heat‐polluted areas. Here, we study growth and calcification in benthic foraminifera that inhabit a thermally polluted coastal area in Israel, where they are exposed to elevated temperatures reaching up to ~42°C in summer. Live specimens of two known heat‐tolerant species Lachlanella sp. 1 and Pararotalia calcariformata were collected over a period of 1 year from two stations, representing thermally polluted and undisturbed (control) shallow hard bottom habitats. Single‐chamber element ratios of these specimens were obtained using laser ablation, and the Mg/Ca of the most recently grown final chambers were used to calculate their calcification temperatures. Our results provide the first direct field evidence that these foraminifera species not only persist at extreme warm temperatures but continue to calcify and grow. Species‐specific Mg/Ca thermometry indicates that P. calcariformata precipitate their shells at temperatures as high as 40°C and Lachlanella sp. 1 at least up to 36°C, but both species show a threshold for calcification at cold temperatures: calcification in P. calcariformata only occurred above 22°C and in Lachlanella sp. 1 above 15°C. Our observations from the heat‐polluted area indicate that under future warming scenarios, calcification in heat‐tolerant foraminifera species will not be inhibited during summer, but instead the temperature window for their calcification will be expanded throughout much of the year. The observed inhibition of calcification at low temperatures indicates that the role of heat‐tolerant foraminifera in carbonate production will most likely increase in future decades.  相似文献

We previously developed a large‐scale genome restructuring technology called the TAQing system. It can induce genomic rearrangements by introducing transient and conditional formation of DNA double‐strand breaks (DSBs) via heat activation of a restriction enzyme TaqI, which can cleave DNA at 5′‐TCGA‐3′ sequences in the genome at higher temperatures (37–42°C). Such heat treatment sometimes confers lethal damage in certain plant species and TaqI cannot induce rearrangements in AT‐rich regions. To overcome such problems we developed an extended TAQing (Ex‐TAQing) system, which enables the use of a wider range of restriction enzymes active at standard plant‐growing temperatures. We established the Ex‐TAQing system using MseI that can efficiently cleave DNA at room temperature (at temperatures ranging from 22 to 25°C) and the 5′‐TTAA‐3′ sequence which is highly abundant in the Arabidopsis genome. A synthetic intron‐spanning MseI gene, which was placed downstream of a heat‐shock‐inducible promoter, was conditionally expressed upon milder heat treatment (33°C) to generate DSBs in Arabidopsis chromosomes. Genome resequencing revealed various types of genomic rearrangements, including copy number variations, translocation and direct end‐joining at MseI cleavage sites. The Ex‐TAQing system could induce large‐scale rearrangements in diploids more frequently (17.4%, n = 23) than the standard TAQing system. The application of this system to tetraploids generated several strains with chromosomal rearrangements associated with beneficial phenotypes, such as high salinity stress tolerance and hypersensitivity to abscisic acid. We have developed the Ex‐TAQing system, allowing more diverse patterns of genomic rearrangements, by employing various types of endonucleases and have opened a way to expand the capacity for artificial genome reorganization.  相似文献

Batteries for high temperature applications capable of withstanding over 60 °C are still dominated by primary cells. Conventional rechargeable energy storage technologies which have exceptional performance at ambient temperatures employ volatile electrolytes and soft separators, resulting in catastrophic failure under heat. A composite electrolyte/separator is reported that holds the key to extend the capability of Li‐ion batteries to high temperatures. A stoichiometric mixture of hexagonal boron nitride, piperidinium‐based ionic liquid, and a lithium salt is formulated, with ionic conductivity reaching 3 mS cm?1, electrochemical stability up to 5 V and extended thermal stability. The composite is used in combination with conventional electrodes and demonstrates to be stable for over 600 cycles at 120 °C, with a total capacity fade of less than 3%. The ease of formulation along with superior thermal and electrochemical stability of this system extends the use of Li‐ion chemistries to applications beyond consumer electronics and electric vehicles.  相似文献

Peptide‐based hydrogels are of interest for their potential use in regenerative medicine. Combining these hydrogels with materials that may enhance their physical and biological properties, such as glycosaminoglycans, has the potential to extend their range of biomedical applications, for example in the repair of early cartilage degeneration. The aim of this study was to combine three self‐assembling peptides (P11‐4, P11‐8, and P11‐12) with chondroitin sulphate at two molar ratios of 1:16 and 1:64 in 130 and 230 mM Na+ salt concentrations. The study investigates the effects of mixing self‐assembling peptide and glycosaminoglycan on the physical and mechanical properties at 37°C. Peptide alone, chondroitin sulphate alone, and peptide in combination with chondroitin sulphate were analysed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to determine the β‐sheet percentage, transmission electron microscopy to determine the fibril morphology, and rheology to determine the elastic and viscous modulus of the materials. All of the variables (peptide, salt concentration, and chondroitin sulphate molar ratio) had an effect on the mechanical properties, β‐sheet formation, and fibril morphology of the hydrogels. P11‐4 and P11‐8‐chondroitin sulphate mixtures, at both molar ratios, were shown to have a high β‐sheet percentage, dense entangled fibrillar networks, as well as high mechanical stiffness in both (130 and 230 mM) Na+ salt solutions when compared with the P11‐12/chondroitin sulphate mixtures. These peptide/chondroitin sulphate hydrogels show promise for biomedical applications in glycosaminoglycan depleted tissues.  相似文献

Understanding the self‐assembly of peptides into ordered nanostructures is recently getting much attention since it can provide an alternative route for fabricating novel bio‐inspired materials. In order to realize the potential of the peptide‐based nanofabrication technology, however, more information is needed regarding the integrity or stability of peptide nanostructures under the process conditions encountered in their applications. In this study, we investigated the stability of self‐assembled peptide nanowires (PNWs) and nanotubes (PNTs) against thermal, chemical, proteolytic attacks, and their conformational changes upon heat treatment. PNWs and PNTs were grown by the self‐assembly of diphenylalanine (Phe–Phe), a peptide building block, on solid substrates at different chemical atmospheres and temperatures. The incubation of diphenylalanine under aniline vapor at 150°C led to the formation of PNWs, while its incubation with water vapor at 25°C produced PNTs. We analyzed the stability of peptide nanostructures using multiple tools, such as electron microscopy, thermal analysis tools, circular dichroism, and Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy. Our results show that PNWs are highly stable up to 200°C and remain unchanged when incubated in aqueous solutions (from pH 1 to 14) or in various chemical solvents (from polar to non‐polar). In contrast, PNTs started to disintegrate even at 100°C and underwent a conformational change at an elevated temperature. When we further studied their resistance to a proteolytic environment, we discovered that PNWs kept their initial structure while PNTs fully disintegrated. We found that the high stability of PNWs originates from their predominant β‐sheet conformation and the conformational change of diphenylalanine nanostructures. Our study suggests that self‐assembled PNWs are suitable for future nano‐scale applications requiring harsh processing conditions. Biotechnol.

High CO2 and high temperature have an antagonistic interaction effect on rice yield potential and present a unique challenge to adapting rice to projected future climates. Understanding how the differences in response to these two abiotic variables are partitioned across rice germplasm accessions may be key to identifying potentially useful sources of resilient alleles for adapting rice to climate change. In this study, we evaluated eleven globally diverse rice accessions under controlled conditions at two carbon dioxide concentrations (400 and 600 ppm) and four temperature environments (29 °C day/21 °C night; 29 °C day/21 °C night with additional heat stress at anthesis; 34 °C day/26 °C night; and 34 °C day/26 °C night with additional heat stress at anthesis) for a suite of traits including five yield components, five growth characteristics, one phenological trait, and four photosynthesis‐related measurements. Multivariate analyses of mean trait data from these eight treatments divide our rice panel into two primary groups consistent with the genetic classification of INDICA/INDICA‐like and JAPONICA populations. Overall, we find that the productivity of plants grown under elevated [CO2] was more sensitive (negative response) to high temperature stress compared with that of plants grown under ambient [CO2] across this diversity panel. We report differential response to CO2 × temperature interaction for INDICA/INDICA‐like and JAPONICA rice accessions and find preliminary evidence for the beneficial introduction of exotic alleles into cultivated rice genomic background. Overall, these results support the idea of using wild or currently unadapted gene pools in rice to enhance breeding efforts to secure future climate change adaptation.  相似文献

Hepcidin, a liver‐expressed antimicrobial peptide, has been demonstrated to act as an iron regulatory hormone as well as to exert a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity. The aim of this work was the expression, as secreted peptide, purification, and characterization of a new recombinant polyHis‐tagged camel hepcidin (HepcD‐His) in yeast Pichia pastoris . The use of this eukaryotic expression system, for the production of HepcD‐His, having 6 histidine residues at its C terminus, was simpler and more efficient compared with the use of the prokaryotic system Escherichia  coli . Indeed, a single purification step was required to isolate the soluble hepcidin with purity estimated more that 94% and a yield of 2.8 against 0.2 mg/L for the E coli system. Matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight (TOF)/TOF mass spectrometry of the purified HepcD‐His showed 2 major peaks at m /z 4524.64 and 4634.56 corresponding to camel hepcidin with 39 and 40 amino acids. Evaluation of disulfide bond connectivity with the Ellman method showed an absence of free thiol groups, testifying that the 8 cysteine residues in the peptide are displayed, forming 4 disulfide bridges. Circular dichroism spectroscopy showed that camel hepcidin structure was significantly modified at high temperature of 90°C and returns to its original structure when incubation temperature drops back to 20°C. Interestingly, this peptide showed also a greater bactericidal activity, at low concentration of 9.5μM, against E coli , than the synthetic analog DH3. Thus, the production, at a large scale, of the recombinant camel hepcidin, HepcD‐His, may be helpful for future therapeutic applications including bacterial infection diseases.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the spray‐drying process on the inactivation of Salmonella choleraesuis and Salmonella typhimurium spiked in liquid porcine plasma and to test the additive effect of immediate postdrying storage. Commercial spray‐dried porcine plasma was sterilized by irradiation and then reconstituted (1:9) with sterile water. Aliquots of reconstituted plasma were inoculated with either S. choleraesuis or S. typhimurium, subjected to spray‐drying at an inlet temperature of 200°C and an outlet temperature of either 71 or 80°C, and each spray‐drying temperature combinations were subjected to either 0, 30 or 60 s of residence time (RT) as a simulation of residence time typical of commercial dryers. Spray‐dried samples were stored at either 4·0 ± 3·0°C or 23·0 ± 0·3°C for 15 days. Bacterial counts of each Salmonella spp., were completed for all samples. For both Salmonella spp., spray‐drying at both outlet temperatures reduced bacterial counts about 3 logs at RT 0 s, while there was about a 5·5 log reduction at RT 60 s. Storage of all dried samples at either 4·0 ± 3·0°C or 23·0 ± 0·3°C for 15 days eliminate all detectable bacterial counts of both Salmonella spp.

Significance and Impact of the Study

Safety of raw materials from animal origin like spray‐dried porcine plasma (SDPP) may be a concern for the swine industry. Spray‐drying process and postdrying storage are good inactivation steps to reduce the bacterial load of Salmonella choleraesuis and Salmonella typhimurium. For both Salmonella spp., spray‐drying at 71°C or 80°C outlet temperatures reduced bacterial counts about 3 log at residence time (RT) 0 s, while there was about a 5.5 log reduction at RT 60 s. Storage of all dried samples at either 4.0 ± 3.0°C or 23.0 ± 0.3°C for 15 days was effective for eliminating detectable bacterial counts of both Salmonella spp.  相似文献

Aims

This study aimed to examine heat curing effect (30–100°C) on antifungal activities of lime oil and its components (limonene, p‐cymene, β‐pinene and α‐pinene) at concentrations ranging from 100 to 300 μl ml?1 against Aspergillus niger in microbiological medium and to optimize heat curing of lime oil for efficient mould control on sedge (Lepironia articulata).

Methods and Results

Broth dilution method was employed to determine lime oil minimum inhibitory concentration, which was at 90 μl ml?1 with heat curing at 70°C. Limonene, a main component of lime oil, was an agent responsible for temperature dependencies of lime oil activities observed. Response surface methodology was used to construct the mathematical model describing a time period of zero mould growth on sedge as functions of heat curing temperature and lime oil concentration. Heat curing of 90 μl ml?1 lime oil at 70°C extended a period of zero mould growth on sedge to 18 weeks under moist conditions.

Conclusions

Heat curing at 70°C best enhanced antifungal activity of lime oil against A. niger both in medium and on sedge.

Significance and Impact of the Study

Heat curing of lime oil has potential to be used to enhance the antifungal safety of sedge products.  相似文献

The amino acid Aib predisposes a peptide to be helical with context‐dependent preference for either 310‐ or α‐ or a mixed helical conformation. Short peptides also show an inherent tendency to be unfolded. To characterize helical and unfolded states adopted by water‐soluble Aib‐containing peptides, the conformational preference of Ac‐Ala‐Aib‐Ala‐Lys‐Ala‐Aib‐Lys‐Ala‐Lys‐Ala‐Aib‐Tyr‐NH2 was determined by CD, NMR and MD simulations as a function of temperature. Temperature‐dependent CD data indicated the contribution of two major components, each an admixture of helical and extended/polyproline II structures. Both right‐ and left‐handed helical conformations were detected from deconvolution of CD data and 13C NMR experiments. The presence of a helical backbone, more pronounced at the N‐terminal, and a temperature‐induced shift in α‐helix/310‐helix equilibrium, more pronounced at the C‐terminal, emerged from NMR data. Starting from polyproline II, the N‐terminal of the peptide folded into a helical backbone in MD simulations within 5 ns at 60°C. Longer simulations showed a mixed‐helical backbone to be stable over the entire peptide at 5°C while at 60°C the mixed‐helix was either stable at the N‐terminus or occurred in short stretches through out the peptide, along with a significant population of polyproline II. Our results point towards conformational heterogeneity of water‐soluble Aib‐based peptide helices and the associated subtleties. The problem of analyzing CD and NMR data of both left‐ and right‐handed helices are discussed, especially the validity of the ellipticity ratio [θ]222/[θ]207, as a reporter of α‐/310‐ population ratio, in right‐ and left‐handed helical mixtures.

The impact of climate change on crop yields has become widely measured; however, the linkages for winter wheat are less studied due to dramatic weather changes during the long growing season that are difficult to model. Recent research suggests significant reductions under warming. A potential adaptation strategy involves the development of heat resistant varieties by breeders, combined with alternative variety selection by producers. However, the impact of heat on specific wheat varieties remains relatively unstudied due to limited data and the complex genetic basis of heat tolerance. Here, we provide a novel econometric approach that combines field‐trial data with a genetic cluster mapping to group wheat varieties and estimate a separate extreme heat impact (temperatures over 34 °C) across 24 clusters spanning 197 varieties. We find a wide range of heterogeneous heat resistance and a trade‐off between average yield and resistance. Results suggest that recently released varieties are less heat resistant than older varieties, a pattern that also holds for on‐farm varieties. Currently released – but not yet adopted – varieties do not offer improved resistance relative to varieties currently grown on farm. Our findings suggest that warming impacts could be significantly reduced through advances in wheat breeding and/or adoption decisions by producers. However, current adaptation‐through‐adoption potential is limited under a 1 °C warming scenario as increased heat resistance cannot be achieved without a reduction in average yields.  相似文献

A number of parameters related to Agrobacterium-mediated infection were tested to optimize transformation frequencies of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.). A plasmid with a selectable marker, phosphomannose isomerase, and an sgfp reporter gene was used. First, storing immature spikes at 4°C before use decreased frequency of GFP-expressing calli, for example, in sorghum variety P898012 from 22.5% at 0 day to 6.4% at 5 days. Next, heating immature embryos (IEs) at various temperatures for 3 min prior to Agrobacterium infection increased frequencies of GFP-expressing calli, of mannose-selected calli and of transformed calli. The optimal 43°C heat treatment increased transformation frequencies from 2.6% with no heat to 7.6%. Using different heating times at 43°C prior to infection showed 3 min was optimal. Centrifuging IEs with no heat or heating at various temperatures decreased frequencies of all tissue responses; however, both heat and centrifugation increased de-differentiation of tissue. If IEs were cooled at 25°C versus on ice after heating and prior to infection, numbers with GFP-expressing cells increased from 34.2 to 49.1%. The most optimal treatment, 43°C for 3 min, cooling at 25°C and no centrifugation, yielded 49.1% GFP-expressing calli and 8.3% stable transformation frequency. Transformation frequencies greater than 7% were routinely observed using similar treatments over 5 months of testing. This reproducible frequency, calculated as numbers of independent IEs producing regenerable transgenic tissues, confirmed by PCR, western and DNA hybridization analysis, divided by total numbers of IEs infected, is several-fold higher than published frequencies.  相似文献

Experimental measurements were collected in the laboratory to evaluate the maximum thermal limit and thermal plasticity of Neotropical juvenile fish with different life habitats (demersal and pelagic) from surf zone in response to a “heat‐wave experiment”. Trials were conducted using two temperature acclimations (Ta), including the current average temperature of Southeastern Brazil (Ta: 14 days at 25°C) and the “heat‐wave experiment” (Ta: 14 days at 30°C), simulating a heat‐wave event that occurs when the daily maximum temperature of more than five consecutive days exceeds the average maximum temperature by 5°C. Typical species of the surf zone were used: the demersal White sea catfish (Genidens barbus) and Gulf kingcroaker (Menticirrhus littoralis), and the pelagic fishes Great pompano (Trachinotus goodei) and Long‐fin mullet (Mugil brevirostris). The thermal range and plasticity values for the both life‐habitats species were verified through current and heat‐wave acclimation. The thermal tolerance at high temperatures (CTmax) of these species differed between Ta, habitat and species. Fish showed a species‐specific response to temperature increase, regardless of their habitat even under similar abiotic conditions. However, at the heat‐wave simulation, the demersal fish presented a greater thermal plasticity in relation to the pelagic fish. Despite the higher thermal tolerance when exposed to heat‐wave simulation, all fish species displayed a lower thermal edge safety that is markedly close to their maximum thermal limits.  相似文献

D‐alanine is widely used in medicine, food, additives, cosmetics, and other consumer items. Esterase derived from Bacillus cereus WZZ001 exhibits high hydrolytic activity and stereoselectivity. In this study, we expressed the esterase gene in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). We analyzed the biocatalytic resolution of N‐acetyl‐DL‐alanine methyl ester by immobilized whole Ecoli BL21 (DE3) cells, which were prepared through embedding and cross‐linking. We analyzed biocatalytic resolution under the optimal conditions of pH of 7.0, temperature of 40°C and substrate concentration of at 700 mM with an enantiomeric excess of 99.99% and e.e.p of 99.50%. The immobilized recombinant Bcereus esterase Ecoli BL21 (DE3) cells exhibited excellent reusability and retained 86.04% of their initial activity after 15 cycles of repeated reactions. The immobilized cells are efficient and stable biocatalysts for the preparation of N‐acetyl‐D‐alanine methyl esters.  相似文献

An alkaline lipase from Trichosporon asahii MSR 54 was used to develop presoak formulation for removing oil stains at ambient temperature. The lipase was produced in a reactor followed by concentration by ultrafiltration and then it was dried with starch. The biochemical characteristics of enzyme showed that it was an alkaline lipase having pH activity in the range of pH 8.0–10.0 and temperature in the range of 25–50°C. The present lipase was active >80% at 25°C. The lipase was cystein activated with fourfold enhancement in presence of 5 mM cystein and likewise the activity was also stimulated in presence of papain hydrolysate which served as source of cystein. The presoak formulation consisted of two components A and B, component A was enzyme additive and B was a mixture of carbonate/bicarbonate source of alkali and papain hydrolysate as source of cystein. The results indicated that the presoaking in enzyme formulation followed by detergent washing was a better strategy for stain removal than direct washing with detergent in presence of lipase. Further, it was observed that 0.25% presoak component B in presence of 100 U enzyme component A (0.1 g) was the best formulation in removing maximum stain from mustard oil/triolein soiled clothes as indicated by increase in reflectance which was found equal to that of control cloth. The lipase action in presoaked formulation was clearly indicated by quantitated fatty acid release and also the TLC results of wash water, where oil hydrolytic products were visible only in presence of enzyme in the treatment. The wash performance carried at 25°C indicated that washing at 25°C was at par with that at 40°C as indicated by similar reflectance of the washed cloth piece though qualitative fatty acid release was higher at 40°C.  相似文献

The ability of Rhizoctonia solani AG‐1 IA, the causal agent of rice sheath blight, to survive in diseased rice straw and as sclerotia and mycelia was investigated. After storage for 10 months at 4°C, 25°C and non‐air‐conditioned natural room temperature (NRT, temperature range from 6°C to 35°C), sclerotia placed inside a desiccator, soaked in sterile water or immersed in wet paddy soil were viable. In contrast, only 15% of sclerotia in dry paddy soil survived. Survival of mycelia was severely affected by temperature and humidity. After 10 months in a desiccator at 4°C, 55% of mycelia samples could survive, whereas at 25°C and NRT, mycelial samples survived for only 7 and 5 months, respectively. However, mycelia stored in sterile water at constant temperatures (4°C or 25°C) survived for 10 months. A certain amount of UV radiation had no obvious effect on the survival of sclerotia or mycelia. The survival rate of the fungus in diseased rice straw stored for 16 months could reach 100% at 4°C, 50% at 25°C and 35% at NRT. The survival rates of the pathogen in diseased rice straw buried in dry, wet and flooded paddy soils after 10‐month storage at NRT were 75, 100 and 100%, respectively, indicating that soil humidity is a crucial factor for the survival of this fungus.  相似文献
