云南地方品种——云南大粒抗水稻白叶枯病菌“江陵691”,其抗性由2对具重叠作用的隐性抗性基因控制,与IR28、南粳15的显性抗病基因不等位;也与已命名的xa-5、xa-8、xa-9和xa-13 4个抗性基因也不等位。     

小麦种质对麦长管蚜的抗性鉴定与评价

2002-2005年连续4年,选用蚜情指数法对小麦种质进行麦长管蚜田间自然感蚜抗性鉴定,从2000份小麦种质中筛选出不同抗性材料34份,占总鉴定材料的1.7%,其中高抗种质5份、抗性种质9份、中抗种质20份。利用苗期室内接虫法,对部分抗感小麦种质进行鉴定,结果表明,苗期的抗性表现与成株期基本一致。对杂交组合临远207(抗)×Witchita(感)的F1、F2的抗性遗传分析表明,临远207对麦长管蚜的抗性由1对显性单基因控制。     

RAPD和ISSR标记对水稻化感种质资源遗传多态性的分析

运用RAPD和ISSR技术分析水稻化感种质资源的遗传多态性。从供试材料中筛选到具有多态性的RAPD引物12条,ISSR引物7条。RAPD引物共扩增到85条清晰的多态性条带,多态性条带比率为69．4％。ISSR引物共扩增到34条清晰的多态性条带,多态性条带比率为53．0％。对两种标记结果进行UPGMA聚类分析,结果极其类似,呈极显著的正相关(r=0．74)。聚类结果表明,地理位置相近的品种聚为一类。部分具有较强化感作用潜力的水稻品种亲缘关系很近,表明控制其化感作用性状的基因可能是等位的相同基因。而部分化感作用潜力差异显著的水稻品种聚为一类,这是由于人类在长期高产品种的定向选择过程中,水稻化感作用性状不被注意而丢失,遗传基础日益狭窄的原因。

Host plant resistance of different chickpea genotypes against Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab. under tunnel conditions

Host plant resistance is the most efficient and easy way to manage chickpea blight caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab. For this purpose, 374 chickpea lines/varieties from various research organisations were evaluated in plastic tunnels. None of the line showed immune response against the blight; however, one line (K-01005) was found to be highly resistant. Moreover, 15 entries were resistant, 136 exhibited moderate resistant reaction, 150 were susceptible and 72 showed highly susceptible response. The genotypes found that resistance against blight can serve as a source of resistance for breeding programmes, and they could be released for commercial production directly.     

Distribution of Mating Types and Genetic Diversity of Ascochyta rabiei Populations in Tunisia Revealed by Mating-type-specific PCR and Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA Markers

The distribution of mating types of Ascochyta rabiei (teleomorph: Didymella rabiei) was determined in Tunisia using a MAT‐specific PCR assay. Among 123 isolates tested, 80% were MAT1‐1 and 20%MAT1‐2. Only MAT1‐1 isolates were present in the Beja and Bizerte regions of Tunisia, whereas both mating types were present in Nabeul, Kef and Jendouba. In the latter three regions, the hypothesis of random mating could not be rejected based on chi‐squared tests of mating‐type ratios (P > 0.05). The lower frequency of the MAT1‐2 coupled with the restricted distribution of this mating type in Tunisia may indicate a recent introduction of MAT1‐2 in Tunisia. This speculation is consistent with the recent (2001) observation of D. rabiei pseudothecia on chickpea debris in Tunisia. Forty isolates representative of the five regions were genetically analysed using 10 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers to provide a preliminary estimate of genetic diversity of the pathogen in Tunisia. Among 129 putative RAPD loci amplified, 81% were polymorphic and 32 unique RAPD fingerprints were detected. A high level of genetic differentiation was detected among subpopulations (G_ST = 0.33). Cluster analyses revealed that isolates from Bizerte, Beja and Jendouba were genetically similar and distinct from isolates sampled in Nabeul and Kef. MAT1‐1 isolates were clustered separately from MAT1‐2 isolates in Jendouba and Nabeul suggesting that recombination may not yet be occurring in these regions despite the occurrence of both mating types in equal frequency in these regions. This lack of recombination between MAT1‐1 and MAT1‐2 also supports the hypothesis of a recent introduction of MAT1‐2 into Tunisia.     

In vitro and In vivo Effects of Some Fungicides against the Chickpea Blight Pathogen, Ascochyta rabiei

The effects of various fungicides on mycelial growth and spore germination of Ascochyta rabiei were determined by incorporating them into potato dextrose agar and measuring colony diameter and observing colony growth and spore germination at 20 ± 2°C. Eight fungicides prevented spore germination of the pathogen at concentrations of 0.125–2 μg/ml, three hindered mycelial growth at 2–4 μg/ml and seven failed to inhibit mycelial growth even at 128 μg/ml. The reference fungicide for the pathogen, chlorothalonil, stopped conidial germination at low rates but did not prevent mycelial growth at 128 μg/ml. Thirteen fungicides were tested against seed infections of the pathogen, and benomyl + thiram, carbendazim and carbendazim + chlorothalonil seed treatments gave more than 85% inhibition on both vacuum‐infiltrated and naturally infected seeds. Coating the seeds with polymers did not increase the effectiveness of fungicides. Three fungicides; (azoxystrobin, chlorothalonil and mancozeb), gave the highest protection in the field but protection decreased with increased inoculum pressure. Addition of humic acid to fungicide suspensions did not affect their performance.     

Virulence diversity of Ascochyta rabiei the causal agent of Ascochyta blight of chickpea in the western provinces of Iran

Chickpea is the third most important food legume in the world. The most important limiting factor for the chickpea production in the world, including Iran, has been the Ascochyta blight. The pathogenic variation of 40 Ascochyta rabiei isolates from the western provinces of Iran was assessed on eight chickpea differential lines. The results revealed that A. rabiei population is diverse in the western provinces of Iran and the virulence rating of isolates across differential lines showed a large but continuous pathogenic variability. Based on the statistical analysis and the continuous response in differential lines, it was not possible to categorise A. rabiei isolates in the present study into pathotypes or races. Information obtained from the current study can be valuable in developing quarantine methods aimed to prevent dissemination of highly virulent isolates and in the development of durable resistant cultivars against the Ascochyta blight of chickpea.     

Histological and Ultrastructural Changes in Leaves and Stems of Resistant and Susceptible Chickpea Cultivars to Ascochyta rabiei

The histo- and cytopathological effects in resistant (ILC-195) and susceptible (Canitez-87) chickpea cultivars were examined by light, transmission and scanning electron microscopy 3, 5 and 7 days after inoculation (d.a.i) of seedlings with Ascochyta rabiei. The fungus produced typical appressoria that penetrated both cuticle and stomata. The resistant plants had physical barriers and a cuticle layer against fungal penetration 3 d.a.i. The fungus spread intercellularly and subepidermally in the leaves and stems of susceptible plants 3 d.a.i., and was followed 5 d.a.i. by cell plasmolysis, degeneration of organelles and of cellulose, but not lignified, walls. Pycnidia formation occurred between 5 and 7 d.a.i. 7 d.a.i., organelle degeneration, pycnidia formation and symptom severity increased. Tracheidal elements, including lignified elements, were almost intact in both resistant and susceptible cultivars. In the susceptible plants, lignin cell walls were slightly degraded after 7 days. There was less cell degeneration and pycnidia formation in resistant plants. Some electron-dense large bodies and lipid granules were observed within intracellular fungal hyphae in infected cells of resistant plants 7 d.a.i.     

Use of a Mini-Dome Bioassay and Grafting to Study Resistance of Chickpea to Ascochyta Blight

A mini‐dome bioassay was developed to study pathogenicity of Ascochyta rabiei and relative resistance of chickpea (Cicer arietanium). It was determined that the best condition for assaying pathogenicity of A. rabiei was to use 2 × 10⁵ spores/ml as inoculum and to maintain a leaf wetness period of 24 h under mini‐domes at a temperature between 16 and 22°C. This mini‐dome pathogenicity assay was used to determine relative resistance of six chickpea cultivars (cvs) to isolates of two pathotypes of A. rabiei. Grafting was employed to detect any translocated factors produced in the chickpea plant that mediate disease response, which could help elucidate possible resistance mechanisms to Ascochyta blight. The six chickpea cv. were grafted in all possible scion–rootstock combinations, and then inoculated with isolates of two pathotypes of A. rabiei using the mini‐dome technique. Results showed that self‐grafted‐resistant plants remained resistant and self‐grafted‐susceptible plants stayed susceptible, indicating the grafting procedure did not alter host response to infection by A. rabiei. Susceptible scions always exhibited high and similar levels of disease severity regardless of rootstock genotypes, and resistant scions always showed low and similar levels of disease severity when they were grafted onto any of the six rootstock genotypes. Orthogonal contrasts showed that scion genotypes determined disease phenotype, and that rootstock genotypes had no contribution to disease phenotype of the scions. The pathogenicity assay did not detect any translocated disease‐mediating agents responsible for susceptibility or resistance in chickpea. Disease phenotypes of Ascochyta blight of chickpea were conditioned locally by scion genotypes.     

Chickpea Ascochyta Blight: Disease Status and Pathogen Mating Type Distribution in Syria

Chickpea fields were surveyed in nine major chickpea‐growing provinces of Syria in 2008 and 2009 to determine the prevalence and severity of Ascochyta blight, and the distribution of Didymella rabiei mating types (MATs) in the country. A total of 133 Ascochyta rabiei isolates were assayed for mating type, including isolates from older collections that date back to 1982. Multiplex MAT‐specific PCR with three primers was used for MAT analysis. Out of the 133 tested isolates, 64% were MAT1‐1 and 36% were MAT1‐2. Both MATs were found in six provinces but MAT1‐1 alone was found in three provinces. Chi‐squared analysis was used to test for a 1 : 1 ratio of MAT frequencies in all samples. The MAT ratios in the six provinces were not significantly different from 1 : 1, suggesting that there is random mating of the pathogen population under natural conditions. The presence of the two MATs is expected to play a role in the evolution of novel virulence genes that could threaten currently resistant chickpea varieties. Overall analysis of the 133 isolates showed a significant deviation from the 1 : 1 ratio with almost twice as many MAT1‐1 isolates than MAT1‐2 isolates, which indicates a competitive advantage associated with MAT1‐1 in Syria. However, the overall picture of an unequal frequency in MATs indicates that there may be limited sexual recombination occurring in the Syrian population.     

Assessment and comparison of AFLP and SSR based molecular genetic diversity in Indian isolates of Ascochyta rabiei, a causal agent of Ascochyta blight in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Ascochyta blight (AB), caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labr. (anamorph), is the most damaging disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and is a serious biotic stress constraint for chickpea production. To understand the molecular diversity in A. rabiei populations of India, a total of 64 isolates collected from AB-infected chickpea plants from different agroclimatic regions in the North Western Plain Zone (NWPZ) of India were analyzed with 11 AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) and 20 SSR (simple sequence repeat) markers. A total of 9 polymorphic AFLP primer pairs provided a total of 317 fragments, of which 130 were polymorphic and showed an average PIC value 0.28. Of the SSR markers, 12 showed polymorphism and provided a total of 29 alleles with an average PIC value 0.35. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on a comparison of AFLP and SSR diversity estimates in A. rabiei populations. The dendrogram developed based on AFLP and SSR data separately, as well as on the combined marker dataset, grouped the majority of AB isolates as per geographic regions. Model based population structure analysis revealed four distinct populations with varying levels of ancestral admixtures among 64 isolates studied. Interestingly, several AFLP primer combinations and SSR markers showed the locus/allele specific to AB isolates of certain regions, e.g., Hisar, Sriganganagar, Gurdaspur, and Sundarnagar. Genetic variability present in AB isolates of the NWPZ of India suggests the continuous monitoring of changes in A. rabiei population to anticipate the breakdown of AB resistance in chickpea cultivars grown in India.
