چکیده

Severe epidemics of leaf blotch and black leaf spot of oat (Avena sativa) caused by Drechslera avenae and Drechslera sp., respectively, are frequently observed in the State of Paraná, Brazil. Although some morphological differences between the isolates causing two different symptoms were noticed, the genetic relationship between them was not clear. Twenty-four isolates of D. avenae and Drechslera sp, collected between 1996-98, were assessed for the genetic variability by molecular and pathogenic analyses. The amplification products using primer pair ITS4/ITS5 showed a fragment length of approximately 600 bp for all the isolates except for one black spot isolate, where the fragment length was approximately 550 bp. Restriction enzymes Hinf I and Taq I, that cut in the ITS region, produced similar restriction patterns for all the isolates, whereas four others produced variable restriction patterns. RAPD analysis also showed distinctive patterns for some isolates. No clear difference between the black spot and the leaf blotch isolates was observed either by the molecular or by the pathogenicity analysis. Nonetheless, the rDNA analysis suggests that Drechslera probably comprises at least three distinct taxa. The results indicate that the difference observed between the isolates originating from two types of symptoms is due to intra-specific variants of D. avenae. Key-words: Pyrenophora avenae, Avena sativa, molecular characterization, varietal resistance. RESUMO Variabilidade molecular e patogênica de isolados de Drechslera de aveia Epifitias severas de helmintosporiose e da mancha preta da aveia (Avena sativa) causadas por Drechslera avenae e Drechslera sp., respectivamente, foram frequentemente observadas no Estado do Paraná, Brazil. Embora algumas diferenças morfológicas entre os isolados causando os dois tipos de sintomas tenham sido verificadas, a relação genética entre eles não estava clara. Vinte e quatro isolados monospóricos de D. avenae e Drechslera sp. coletados durante 1996-98, foram analisados através de ensaios patogênicos e moleculares. Os produtos de amplificação utilizando par de primer ITS4/ITS5 demonstraram tamanho de fragmento aproximadamente de 600 pb para todos os isolados com excessão de um isolado da mancha preta onde o tamanho do fragmento era aproximadamente de 550 pb. Enzimas de restrição Hinf I e Taq I, que cortaram na região de ITS, produziram padrões de restrição similares, enquanto que outros quatro produziram padrão variável de restrição. A análise de RAPD também demonstrou padrões distintivos para alguns isolados. Diferença clara entre os isolados de mancha preta e helmintosporiose não foi encontrada tanto pelos ensaios patogênicos como também pelos ensaios moleculares. Entretanto, a análise de rDNA sugere que o Drechslera provavelmente engloba pelo menos três taxas distintas. Os resultados demonstram que as diferenças entre os isolados originários de dois tipos de sintomas são devidos aos variantes intra-específicos de D. avenae.

Phylogenetic typing and molecular detection of virulence factors of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from colibacillosis cases in Japanese quail

Colibacillosis caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is an economic threat to the poultry industry throughout the world. Some of the virulence genes may enhance the ability of E. coli isolates to grow in the tissues of broilers. The APEC strains are assigned to a few distinct phylogenetic groups. The purpose of the present study was to detect the virulence genes a...

Molecular and Phylogenetic Analysis and Protein Structural modeling of NS Gene of Human Influenza A Virus Subtype H1N1 Circulating in Iran 2015 & 2017

Abstract Background:   The NS (non-structural) genomic segment of influenza A virus expresses two proteins (NS1 and NS2) which are responsible for the virulence and pathogenicity of virus. In this study we investigate the characterization and variability of the NS gene recovered from H1N1 influenza viruses isolated from Iranian patients during the 2017 seasonal outbreak  and from high...
