چکیده

Eighty-seven isolates of Colletotrichum graminicola, mostly from Agrostis palustris, were collected in grass fields, most of which were in Ontario, Canada. Specific primers were designed to amplify the mating-type (MAT) genes and, among 35 isolates tested, all yielded a band of the expected size for MAT2. For six isolates, the MAT2 PCR products were sequenced and found to be similar to that reported for MAT2 of C. graminicola from maize. Based on 119 polymorphic bands from 10 random amplified polymorphic DNA primers, analyses of genetic distances were found to generally cluster isolates by host and geographic origin. Among 42 isolates from a grass field in Ontario, significant spatial autocorrelation was found to occur within a 20-m distance, implying that this is the effective propagule dispersal distance. Although clonal propagation was observed in the 87 isolates with 67 unique genotypes, the extent of genetic variation in local populations implies some occurrence of sexual or asexual recombination.

The infection process of Colletotrichum graminicola and relative aggressiveness on four turfgrass species.

Detached 3-week-old leaves of Agrostis palustris, Lolium perenne, Poa annua, and Poa pratensis were inoculated with conidial suspensions of two isolates of Colletotrichum graminicola obtained from A. palustris. Inoculated leaves were incubated at 23 degrees C under high relative humidity (>95%). The infection process was investigated by light microscopy from 2 to 168 h after inoculation (AI). S...

Root-expressed maize lipoxygenase 3 negatively regulates induced systemic resistance to Colletotrichum graminicola in shoots

We have previously reported that disruption of a maize root-expressed 9-lipoxygenase (9-LOX) gene, ZmLOX3, results in dramatic increase in resistance to diverse leaf and stalk pathogens. Despite evident economic significance of these findings, the mechanism behind this increased resistance remained elusive. In this study, we found that increased resistance of the lox3-4 mutants is due to consti...

COMPARISON OF PATHOGENICITY OF Fusarium equiseti AND Colletotrichum graminicola ON Echinochloa spp

Echinochloa spp. are the most important weeds in rice fields. In this research Fusarium equiseti and Colletotrichum graminicola were isolated from these weeds and then their pathogenicity effects were compared on these weeds and five rice cultivars in a completely random design with three replications in greenhouse conditions. Fungi were inoculated on weeds and rice cultivars using a spore susp...

The Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) Channel Family in Colletotrichum graminicola: A Molecular and Physiological Analysis

Calcium (Ca2+) is a universal second messenger in all higher organisms and centrally involved in the launch of responses to environmental stimuli. Ca2+ signals in the cytosol are initiated by the activation of Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane and/or in endomembranes. Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) contains a Ca2+-permeable channel of the TRP family, TRPY1, which is localized in the vacuol...

To assess relative gene expression, expressed sequence tag redundancy was compared between EST collections from susceptible Malva pusilla and Medicago truncatula inoculated with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides f. sp. malvae and C. trifolii, respectively, and resistant and susceptible Sorghum bicolor inoculated with C. graminicola (=C. sublineolum). EST redundancies from the fungal-inoculated S. ...
