灵芝两个无孢品种中水提物成分分析及免疫活性比较

龙芝2号和鹿角灵芝均为赤芝的栽培品种,且在生长发育过程中均不产生孢子。目前,尚缺乏对两者化学成分和药理活性的系统比较研究。本研究以灵芝两个无孢品种——龙芝2号和鹿角灵芝为原料,研究对比两者子实体水提物成分差异及免疫活性的强弱。采用化学及仪器分析相结合的方法,分析两者水提物中的多糖得率、含量、重均分子量分布特征及核苷、蛋白质、氨基酸含量差异,并研究了灵芝两个无孢品种水提物样品刺激RAW 264.7细胞释放NO活性。结果表明,两者多糖得率及含量差异不大,但龙芝2号中重均分子量分布范围较广,多糖分子量较大,其含有3种多糖,分子量分别为2.021×10⁶、1.802×10⁶和4.825×10⁵,而鹿角灵芝中仅含有1种多糖,分子量为1.589×10⁴;两者中含有的核苷种类相似,但各核苷的含量存在差异;鹿角灵芝和龙芝2号中蛋白质含量分别为10.70%和10.32%,两者均不含有组氨酸,蛋氨酸在两者中含量均较高,分别达到2.556%和2.591%。从鹿角灵芝和龙芝2号中得到的水提物样品均具有体外刺激巨噬细胞释放NO的活性。     

光照强度及栽培基质对秋海棠新品种‘宁明银’生长的影响

秋海棠是世界著名的观赏植物,不同种类和品种对栽培基质、光照、温度和湿度等生长环境条件的要求不同。‘宁明银’秋海棠是最近培育出的新品种,具有很高的观赏价值和市场潜力,但其栽培适宜条件还不清楚。为了摸索该品种的最佳栽培基质和光照条件,该研究利用四种光强(遮光45%、60%、75%、90%)和四种无土栽培基质(泥炭∶珍珠岩=1∶1;泥炭∶珍珠岩∶松树皮=1∶1∶1;腐叶土∶珍珠岩∶松树皮=1∶1∶1;玉米秆∶珍珠岩∶松树皮=1∶1∶1)在上海辰山植物园栽培大棚中开展盆栽试验,比较分析‘宁明银’秋海棠的生长表现。结果表明:在遮光45%条件下,腐叶土、珍珠岩、松树皮同等比例混合的栽培基质中,‘宁明银’秋海棠的叶片数、最大叶面积、地上部分鲜重与干重、地下部分干重均表现出最大值,且该条件下植株的相对含水量和根冠比最小,相对叶绿素含量也最高。因此,盆栽‘宁明银’秋海棠的最佳无土栽培条件为腐叶土、珍珠岩、松树皮等比例混合栽培基质和45%遮光,利用此条件可指导‘宁明银’秋海棠的商品化盆栽生产。

Assessing the influence of inflorescence traits on the susceptibility of grape to vine moths

In north‐eastern Italy during 1994–2006, studies were carried out on the susceptibility of grapevine cultivars to the first generations of the European vine moth [Lobesia botrana (Den. and Shiff.); Lep., Tortricidae] and the European grape berry moth [Eupoecilia ambiguella (Hb.); Lep., Cochylidae]. In five different years, the larval population density of both moth species and the larval age composition of L. botrana were recorded on 11 grapevine cultivars (Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Merlot, Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, Rhine Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Terrano, Tocai Friulano, Verduzzo Friulano), grown in the same vineyard. The influence of inflorescence traits on these demographic parameters was also evaluated. On a 5‐year average, L. botrana significantly prevailed over E. ambiguella in nine of the 11 cultivars. Chardonnay and Pinot Gris were the most infested cultivars. Age composition of L. botrana larvae varied with cultivar type, being older on Chardonnay and Tocai Friulano than the other cultivars. Inflorescence earliness and hairiness explained the majority of the variability in cultivar susceptibility. In particular, the larval population level of the two vine moths was positively correlated with inflorescence earliness and negatively correlated with inflorescence hairiness. Lobesia botrana larval age composition was negatively correlated with inflorescence hairiness. Inflorescence earliness and hairiness could be used to predict in each grape‐growing area which cultivars are potentially more infested in the first generation. Inflorescences without pubescence, favouring an older age composition of first generation larvae, could induce an earlier second generation.     

Using virtual 3-D plant architecture to assess fungal pathogen splash dispersal in heterogeneous canopies: a case study with cultivar mixtures and a non-specialized disease causal agent

Background and Aims

Recent developments in plant disease management have led to a growing interest in alternative strategies, such as increasing host diversity and decreasing the use of pesticides. Use of cultivar mixtures is one option, allowing the spread of plant epidemics to be slowed down. As dispersal of fungal foliar pathogens over short distances by rain-splash droplets is a major contibutor to the spread of disease, this study focused on modelling the physical mechanisms involved in dispersal of a non-specialized pathogen within heterogeneous canopies of cultivar mixtures, with the aim of optimizing host diversification at the intra-field level.

Methods

Virtual 3-D wheat-like plants (Triticum aestivum) were used to consider interactions between plant architecture and disease progression in heterogeneous canopies. A combined mechanistic and stochastic model, taking into account splash droplet dispersal and host quantitative resistance within a 3-D heterogeneous canopy, was developed. It consists of four sub-models that describe the spatial patterns of two cultivars within a complex canopy, the pathway of rain-splash droplets within this canopy, the proportion of leaf surface area impacted by dispersal via the droplets and the progression of disease severity after each dispersal event.

Key Results

Different spatial organization, proportions and resistance levels of the cultivars of two-component mixtures were investigated. For the eight spatial patterns tested, the protective effect against disease was found to vary by almost 2-fold, with the greatest effect being obtained with the smallest genotype unit area, i.e. the ground area occupied by an independent unit of the host population that is genetically homogeneous. Increasing both the difference between resistance levels and the proportion of the most resistant cultivar often resulted in a greater protective effect; however, this was not observed for situations in which the most resistant of the two cultivars in the mixture had a relatively low level of resistance.

Conclusions

The results show agreement with previous data obtained using experimental approaches. They demonstrate that in order to maximize the potential mixture efficiency against a splash-dispersed pathogen, optimal susceptible/resistant cultivar proportions (ranging from 1/9 to 5/5) have to be established based on host resistance levels. The results also show that taking into account dispersal processes in explicit 3-D plant canopies can be a key tool for investigating disease progression in heterogeneous canopies such as cultivar mixtures.
