植物专性寄生菌吸器功能研究现状北大核心CSCD

吸器是专性寄生真菌和卵菌的菌丝产生的一种短小分支变态结构,由吸器体、吸器外间质和吸器外质膜3部分组成。吸器不仅仅是吸收和转运寄主植物的营养物质的功能,它在病原菌生物合成、抑制寄主的防御反应等方面也具有不同程度的作用。对吸器的深入了解将有助于更好地认识、控制专性寄生菌。本文综述了吸器关于营养吸收与致病性方面的功能,讨论了有待解决的问题及今后的研究趋势。     

Zur Morphologie und Systematik desTrebouxia-Phycobionten im Thallus vonUsnea longissima (Lecanorales)

In the lichen genusUsnea different species ofTrebouxia-phycobionts as well as different haustorial types are known. The isolated and cultivated phycobiont ofUsnea longissima Ach. was studied by light- and electron microscopy and resembles in cytomorphological details the type ofTrebouxia impressa Ahmad. In addition to simple wall-to-wall contacts between the symbiotic components also intraparietal (=intrawall-)haustoria could be observed as the normal interaction type.

Evolution of the secondary haustoria to a primary haustorium in the parasiticScrophulariaceae/Orobanchaceae

In the parasiticScrophulariaceae andOrobanchaceae, two types of contact organs exist: secondary and primary haustoria. Secondary haustoria are lateral organs, developing in large numbers and only when the seedling is fully established. In contrast, a primary haustorium represents the first developmental stage of the seedling itself. In the root system of the parasiticLesquereuxia syriaca (=Siphonostegia syriaca) there are only secondary haustoria, but a few of them apparently develop in a terminal position. This is achieved by transferring the haustorial initiation region closer to the root apex. One can interpret this as a transformation of the apical meristem into a meristematic haustorial tissue. On the condition that an extreme shortening (abbrevation) of the primary root could happen, we discuss the transformation of the terminal secondary into a primary haustorium.     

Effectors of biotrophic fungi and oomycetes: pathogenicity factors and triggers of host resistance

Many biotrophic fungal and oomycete pathogens share a common infection process involving the formation of haustoria, which penetrate host cell walls and form a close association with plant membranes. Recent studies have identified a class of pathogenicity effector proteins from these pathogens that is transferred into host cells from haustoria during infection. This insight stemmed from the identification of avirulence (Avr) proteins from these pathogens that are recognized by intracellular host resistance (R) proteins. Oomycete effectors contain a conserved translocation motif that directs their uptake into host cells independently of the pathogen, and is shared with the human malaria pathogen. Genome sequence information indicates that oomycetes may express several hundred such host-translocated effectors. Elucidating the transport mechanism of fungal and oomycete effectors and their roles in disease offers new opportunities to understand how these pathogens are able to manipulate host cells to establish a parasitic relationship and to develop new disease-control measures.     

Effect of Host Plant Resistance on Haustorium Formation in Cereal Rust Fungi

Haustoria of Puccinia triticina (wheat leaf rust fungus) and P. hordei (barley leaf rust fungus) were isolated from susceptible and partially resistant wheat lines, and susceptible, hypersensitive and partially resistant barley lines. Haustoria were counted and measured. The size of haustoria was similar in the partially resistant and susceptible genotypes but haustoria were smaller in the hypersensitive barley line L94+Pa7. The number of haustoria was reduced in both partially and hypersensitive lines when compared with susceptible ones. Therefore it seems that the reduction in the number of haustoria is a consequence of the resistance that can be attributable either to early abortion of infection units or reduced colony growth. The reduction of the number of haustoria was more pronounced in the adult plant stage.     

Mechanism of parasitism by Cuscuta reflexa: Distribution of cytokinins in different regions of the parasite vine

Cytokinins in the different regions of Cuscuta reflexa Roxb. vine have been extracted and assayed using the Xanthium cotyledon bioassay with N⁶-benzylaminopurine as the reference cytokinin. Maximum cytokinin level was found in the haustoria-bearing region with the gradient decreasing towards the apex. The cytokinin content of the apex was less than 1% of that in the whole haustorial region. Interestingly, the concave half of the vine contained about forty times more cytokinin in the haustorial region than the corresponding convex half. The high concentration of cytokinin or cytokinin-like substances in the haustoria-bearing site in Cuscuta might be due either to a high RNase activity in the region or translocation from the host to parasite or both.     

云南哀牢山两种常见半寄生植物的生态化学计量特征及其与寄主的关系

为深入探究半寄生植物与其寄主间的养分关系, 在云南哀牢山徐家坝地区选取两种常见半寄生植物椆树桑寄生(Loranthus delavayi)和柳叶钝果寄生(Taxillus delavayi), 研究其寄主枝条-吸器-寄生枝条-寄生叶片间的碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)生态化学计量特征关系。结果表明: 1)两种半寄生植物的寄主枝条-吸器-寄生枝条-寄生叶片这一连续体的C、N、P生态化学计量特征变化趋势并不完全相同, 具有物种自身的特性。2)同一半寄生植物的寄主枝条具有相似的C、N、P生态化学计量特征, 寄主物种对半寄生植物的生态化学计量特征没有显著影响。3)寄主枝条的C、N、P生态化学计量特征间具有紧密的相关关系, 吸器弱于寄主枝条, 寄生枝条弱于吸器, 寄生叶片的N、P含量相关关系不显著。4)寄主枝条与寄生叶片间的C含量存在极显著负相关关系。5)吸器与寄主枝条间的C、N、P生态化学计量特征存在紧密的相关关系, 但在生态化学计量特征的数值上吸器与寄生枝条更为接近。吸器作为连接寄主与寄生植物的关键部位, 其与寄主枝条极为显著的相关关系体现了寄主枝条养分对寄生植物的重要性, 而吸器在元素含量、计量比的数值以及相互关系上与寄生枝条更为相似, 则体现了吸器作为寄生植物器官具有与寄生枝条相似的生理功能。通过对寄主枝条-吸器-寄生枝条-寄生叶片C、N、P生态化学计量特征的分析, 为深入研究半寄生植物的养分利用策略与生态适应性提供了重要的基础资料。     

尖角突脐孢菌在稗草和水稻上的萌发和侵染行为比较研究

本试验结合曲利苯兰和荧光素钠两种染色方法的优点,从显微角度研究了尖角突脐孢菌(Exserohilum monoceras)两个菌株X-27和HN-14在稗草和水稻上萌发和侵染行为的差异。结果表明,在寄主稗草上,接种4h后尖角突脐孢菌孢子开始从一端或两端萌发形成初生芽管;10h后芽管顶端膨大形成附着胞,附着在寄主表面,两端萌发的孢子约90%一端败育,仅一端形成成熟附着胞;在接种后24h内成熟附着胞形成率与接种时间成正相关,24h后趋于稳定;16h后在成熟附着胞下方受侵染的细胞内指状吸器开始形成,随后发育为掌状吸器;接种36h后菌丝在组织表面扩展形成网状,同时稗草叶片上显现叶斑病症状,部分菌丝能在细胞间蔓延扩展。在非寄主植物水稻上,同样观察到孢子萌发产生芽管,但是萌发起始时间滞后大约4h,初生菌丝分枝明显减少,且未能观察到附着胞和吸器的产生。
