共生菌在褐飞虱致害性变化中的作用

研究了不同虫源和致害性褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens种群体内共生菌数量动态及其对褐飞虱在抗虫品种上的取食选择、生长发育、繁殖以及氨基酸转移酶活性的影响。结果表明,褐飞虱田间种群的致害性与其体内共生菌数量有关。广西南宁种群雌成虫体内的共生菌数量显著地高于浙江杭州和龙游两个虫源的雌成虫体内共生菌数量,而已纯化的3个不同致害性生物型体内的共生菌数量无显著差异。取食抗性品种能显著减少生物型Ⅰ雌成虫体内的共生菌数量。缺乏共生菌时,生物型Ⅰ、Ⅱ若虫对水稻品种TN1和ASD7的选择性增大,而对Mudgo的取食选择性下降。尽管缺共生菌的3个生物型在已适应的和不适应的感虫和抗虫品种上的若虫存活率和雌成虫产卵量均下降,若虫历期明显延长,但在已适应品种上的变化程度明显小于在不适应的抗虫品种上的变化程度。共生菌还明显影响成虫体内丙氨酸氨基转移酶和天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶的活性。这些结果证明体内共生菌的数量和质量在褐飞虱对水稻致害性的变化中发挥了重要作用。

Biodiversity and biocontrol: emergent impacts of a multi-enemy assemblage on pest suppression and crop yield in an agroecosystem

The suppression of agricultural pests has often been proposed as an important service of natural enemy diversity, but few experiments have tested this assertion. In this study we present empirical evidence that increasing the richness of a particular guild of natural enemies can reduce the density of a widespread group of herbivorous pests and, in turn, increase the yield of an economically important crop. We performed an experiment in large field enclosures where we manipulated the presence/absence of three of the most important natural enemies (the coccinellid beetle Harmonia axyridis, the damsel bug Nabis sp., and the parasitic wasp Aphidius ervi) of pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) that feed on alfalfa (Medicago sativa). When all three enemy species were together, the population density of the pea aphid was suppressed more than could be predicted from the summed impact of each enemy species alone. As crop yield was negatively related to pea aphid density, there was a concomitant non‐additive increase in the production of alfalfa in enclosures containing the more diverse enemy guild. This trophic cascade appeared to be influenced by an indirect interaction involving a second herbivore inhabiting the system – the cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora. Data suggest that high relative densities of cowpea aphids inhibited parasitism of pea aphids by the specialist parasitoid, A. ervi. Therefore, when natural enemies were together and densities of cowpea aphids were reduced by generalist predators, parasitism of pea aphids increased. This interaction modification is similar to other types of indirect interactions among enemy species (e.g. predator–predator facilitation) that can enhance the suppression of agricultural pests. Results of our study, and those of others performed in agroecosystems, complement the broader debate over how biodiversity influences ecosystem functioning by specifically focusing on systems that produce goods of immediate relevance to human society.

Quantitative assessments of the host range and strain specificity of endophytic colonization by Klebsiella pneumoniae 342

Enteric bacteria, particularly Klebsiella, are common endophytes of plants. Endophytic colonization is important as these bacteria may be beneficial, either by providing fixed N or growth hormones to the host plant. In this work, we assessed the host range and strain specificity for endophytic colonization with Klebsiella pneumoniae 342 (Kp342) on five host plants. This strain was inoculated onto seedlings of Medicago sativa, Medicago truncatula, Arabidopsis thaliana, Triticum aestivum, and Oryza sativa. The type strain of K. pneumoniae, ATCC13883, was also inoculated on all of these hosts except M. truncatula. Both strains were labeled with GFP. Eight inoculum levels were used from 1 CFU to 10⁷ CFU per plant plus uninoculated controls. Six days after inoculation, the number of cells colonizing the rhizosphere and interior were determined. Inoculation with about one CFU of Kp342 was adequate to obtain high colonization levels on the rhizosphere and roots of all host plants. The type strain could colonize the interior of the host plant but the highest colonization levels were generally 100-fold lower than those obtained from Kp342 and those levels required at least 1000 cells in the inoculum. Thus, Kp342 was a more efficient colonizer of the plant apoplast. In addition, the monocots inoculated in this work were colonized endophytically in much higher numbers than were the dicots. Cells of Kp342 congregate at lateral root junctions suggesting the cells enter the plant through cracks created by lateral root extensions. The strain and host effects observed here suggest that endophytic colonization is an active process controlled by genetic determinants from both partners.

Eliminating Tobacco Rattle Virus from Viruliferous Paratrichodorus allius and Establishing a New Virus-Vector Combination

A reliable method to eliminate tobacco rattle virus (TRV) from viruliferous Paratrichodorus allius populations was developed. This virus is vectored by P. allius in the Pacific Northwest and causes corky ringspot disease (CRS) of potato. The viruliferous nematodes that were reared on ''Vernema'' alfalfa or ''770'' scotch spearmint for at least 3 months did not transmit TRV to ''Samsun NN'' tobacco, a suitable indicator plant, and did not cause CRS symptoms on ''Russet Norkotah'' tubers. A new isolate of TRV was introduced into a nonviruliferous population of P. allius. First, tobacco plants were inoculated with a field population of P. allius that transmitted an isolate of TRV that caused severe symptoms on potato. The tobacco roots were then washed free from soil and dipped in 0.525% sodium hypochlorite to remove the initial nematode inoculum. After the disinfected tobacco plants recovered and began to grow, the virus-free population of P. allius was introduced around the root system to acquire the new virus isolate from tobacco roots. The newly established virus-vector combination caused CRS symptoms on ''Russet Norkotah'' that were characteristic of the more virulent virus isolate, indicating that the virus-free P. allius population had reacquired virus.     

谷子SiRLK35基因克隆及功能分析

为探讨谷子(Setaria italica L.)耐旱抗逆机制,解析类受体蛋白激酶(receptor like protein kinase, RLKs)基因功能,进而为培育谷子抗逆新品种提供依据,本文以干旱处理的谷子“豫谷1号”为材料,通过iTRAQ技术筛选到1个干旱响应的类受体蛋白激酶基因,命名为SiRLK35。以谷子RNA反转录的单链cDNA为模板,经PCR扩增获取SiRLK35基因全长序列。应用qRT-PCR方法,对SiRLK35在NaCl、PEG、ABA、GA、MeJA等不同处理下的表达模式进行分析。进一步构建基因原核表达载体pET28a-SiRLK35,结合斑点法对SiRLK35的抗盐能力进行初步评价。同时构建过表达载体pCAMBIA1301P-SiRLK35转化水稻,并对转基因植株抗盐能力进行检测。结果显示：胁迫及激素处理均可不同程度诱导SiRLK35基因的表达;斑点法研究结果显示,在相同NaCl浓度的LB平板上,含有SiRLK35基因的原核表达载体的大肠杆菌菌株生长状态较阴性对照好,SiRLK35具有一定的抗盐能力;获得的转SiRLK35基因水稻植株对盐胁迫的耐受性高于对照。SiRLK35基因对不同胁迫均可以产生响应,但对盐胁迫的响应较为明显,推测该基因可能在谷子的抗盐及抗逆过程中发挥作用。
