[ Method] The toxieities of nine fungicides against P. parasitica were measured using growth rate method. On this basis, the fungicides with good effects were selected to compound with metalaxyl, and the optimum complex ratio was confirmed. [Result] The toxicity of metalaxyl was the strongest with EC50 of 2. 130 5μg/ml; followed by carbendazim, mancezeb and dimethomorph with EC50 of 2.357 9, 2.639 8 and 2. 778 8 μg/ml. The effect of cyazofamid was the poorest with EC50 of 6. 278 8 μg/ml. The optimum complex ratios of dimethomorph, carbendazim and mancezeb with metalaxyl were 40: 60, 30:70 and 20: 80, and their co-toxicity coefficients were 138.80,124.25 and 115.00, respectively. [ Conclusion] The complex agents had application and promotion value, which could be used to carry out further field trials.展开更多

[Method] Under indoor incubation conditions, the resistance to dimethomorph, metalaxyl-mancozeb, propamocarb and ovraclostrobin.dimethomorph in P. parasitica strain isolated from Zhenyuan County in Qiandongnan State was analyzed with colony growth measurement method. [Result] P. parasitica exhibited different levels of sensitivity to four fungicides. To be specific, P. parasitica exhibited the highest resistance to dimethomorph, and ECho reached 1.19 μg/ml. [Conclusion] In Zhenyuan tobacco-growing area, long-term single use of dimethomorph possesses certain resistance risk in prevention and control of black shank disease.展开更多

H.Lev.Methods: Morphological studies on epidermal glands were earned out by using light microscope and scanning electron microscope.To prepare the extract,the shade-dried fronds of glandular morphotype were soaked in acetone.For antibacterial studies paper disc method was followed by using various pathogenic bacteria.Results:Detailed micromorphological,phytochemical and bioactivity studies on a medicinal fern C.parasitica(L.) H.Lev.showed its inlraspecific variation in antibacterial activity.The presence or absence of the epidermal glands was the key factor for antibacterial activity in the morphovariants of this species.The epidermal glands were orange-coloured,stalked and elongated ones of about 84.2μm×45μm,and distributed on the undersurface of cosla,coslules and veins in croziers,young and mature leaves.Frequency of glands varied from 15/cm on costa in mature leaves to 140/cm on costules in croziers.The acetone extract of the glands showed antibacterial activities and also toxic effect against mosquito larvae and tadpoles of frog.Preliminary phytochemical analysis and HPLC studies of the gland extract showed the presence of various kinds of terpenoids,alkaloids,tannins,saponins and flavonoids in it.Conclusions:The present study shows that epidermal glands of the glandular morphotype of C. parasitica(L.) H.Lev.have several bioactive compounds and such rare moiphovariant should be conserved in nature.The next step is to isolate the pure compounds and to screen the bioactivity of individual compounds of the epidermal glands.展开更多

Our previous studies identified Resistance to Phytophthora parasitica 1(RTP1) as a negative regulator of Arabidopsis resistance to multiple biotrophic pathogens and RTP1 lossof-function plants displayed rapid cell death and reactive oxygen species(ROS) production during early colonization of P. parasitica. In this study, we aim to decipher the mechanism of RTP1-mediated cell death, and identify a member of vaculoar processing enzymes(VPEs), γVPE, playing a role in rtp1-mediated resistance to P. parasitica and cell death occurrence. Our results showed up-regulation of the expression of γVPE as well as increased VPE/caspase 1-like protease activity in P. parasitica-infected rtp1 mutant plants. Besides, we found that the VPE/caspase 1-like protease activity was required for the cell death occurrence in Arabidopsis plants during the infection of P. parasitica as well as rtp1-mediated resistance to P. parasitica. Further pathogenicity assays on either Arabidopsis γvpe mutant plants or leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana with transient overexpression of γVPE demonstrated γVPE could positively affect plant resistance to P. parasitica. Together, our studies suggest that γVPE might function as an important regulator of plant defense and cell death occurrence in response to P. parasitica infection, and VPE/caspase 1-like protease activity is required for rtp1-mediated resistance to P. parasitica.展开更多

Hypovirulence-mediated biological control has been far less successful in North America meriting further evaluation of field isolates that have the ability to produce non-lethal cankers, generate hypovirulent inoculum, and exhibit a greater ecological fitness in forest systems. In this study, Cryphonectria hypoviruses (CHV) CHV3-County Line, CHV1-Euro7, and CHV1-Ep713 were evaluated in five different isolates of C. parasitica. One hundred and eighty cankers representing each treatment combination were initiated on American chestnut sprouts in the Monongahela National Forest, West Virginia, USA. The size of cankers, the persistence of hypovirulent (HV) isolates, stroma production, and hypovirus transmission to conidia were assessed four and 12 months after canker expansion. CHV3-County Line infected isolates produced significantly smaller cankers than the isolates infected with either CHV1-type. With regard to CHV1-Euro7 isolates, the fungal genome appeared to contribute to the differences in canker size. After four months, HV isolates harboring either CHV1-type (30%) were retrieved at a significantly higher rate than isolates containing CHV3-County Line (14%). After 12 months, the HV recovery was similar among the three hypoviruses indicating smaller cankers will maintain their HV status after one year. Very few stroma were produced after one year in the field from HV isolates. In vitro, CHV3-County Line (49%) had a significantly lower rate of hypovirus transmission to conidia when compared to CHV1-Euro7 (87%) and CHV1-Ep713 (80%). Significant differences existed among the five different isolates indicating HV transmission is dependent on the fungal genome. This research provided additional evidence that each hypovirus interacts with its host differently and certain isolate/hypovirus combinations have better biological control potential than others.展开更多

Oriental chestnut has more resistance than American one. Twenty-five cultivars of chestnut treeincluding various cultivars such as Tsukuba, Okkwang, Rihei, Ginyose, Eunsan, etc. were tested with a rapid, simple and reliable method. The cultivar Banseki is one of the most resistant cultivars tested and has the necrotic area of 0.40 cm2. However, the necrotic areas of the cultivars of American chestnut, Eunsan, Kwangjujoyul and Eaton, ranges from 3.35 to 2.61 cm2 and these cultivars are relatively susceptible to this pathogen. Many pycnidia of this pathogen were observed on the inner and outer bark tissues after incubating for 3 weeks.展开更多
