PCR-based DNA single strand conformation polymorphism(SSCP) was used for analysis of one haploid locus, the mitochondrial cytochrome b(Cyt b), and one diploid locus, the internal transcribed spacer 1(ITS1) of nuclear ribosomal RNA. Seven haplotypes in the Cyt b locus and 13 genotypes in the ITS1 locus were identified. Population differentiation and isolation by distance were found. Distribution of haplotype and genotype frequencies across geographic regions suggests that two distinct populations exist along the Eastern Coast of the US. However, genetic variation among individuals within regions was large. This degree of variation suggests frequent gene flow between regions. Moreover, overall genetic diversity among individuals was much higher in ticks from the southern population.展开更多

[ Method] The pathogenicity of the isolated strain was determined according to Koch＇s rules, and the pathogen was identified through Biolog system, 16S rDNA sequence analysis and physiological and biochemical methods. [ Result] Through Koch＇s test, the isolated 3 -3 strain was verified to be the pathogen causing floating seedling disease, which was consistent with the characteristics of Pectobacterium carotovo- rum subsp. Carotovorum through Biolog determination and the other physiological and biochemical methods. 16S rDNA sequence analysis showed that 3 -3 strain had the highest similarity with P. carotovorum subsp. Carotovorum strains Kun28213 （accession number GU936996）, reaching 99. 9%. [Conclusion] Base on the identification results of several methods, the pathogen causing floating seedling disease was P. carotovorum subsp. Carotovorum, and the disease was first reported in China. According to the English name of the disease, the disease was called as tobacco blackleg disease.展开更多
马铃薯黑胫病是国内外马铃薯产区发生比较普遍的一种细菌性病害,严重地影响了马铃薯的产量和质量。本研究根据Potato Black Leg序列,设计出马铃薯黑胫病菌特异性的引物,对10种供试菌株进行了实时荧光PCR检测。结果表明,该方法的特异性好...马铃薯黑胫病是国内外马铃薯产区发生比较普遍的一种细菌性病害,严重地影响了马铃薯的产量和质量。本研究根据Potato Black Leg序列,设计出马铃薯黑胫病菌特异性的引物,对10种供试菌株进行了实时荧光PCR检测。结果表明,该方法的特异性好,可以将马铃薯黑胫病菌和其它马铃薯常见病害相区分;灵敏度较高,可检测出最低的黑胫病菌浓度为3.6~3.9 cfu.mL-1;而且检测时间仅用4 h,大大缩短了检测周期。该方法可有效地应用于马铃薯黑胫病菌的检测和监控。展开更多
