JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe epidermal cell of fruit and leaf of satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu), which was penetrated by the hypha of Diaporthe citri (Faw.) Wolf, granulated and turned brown in color within 1 and 2 days after inoculation. Further granulation and browning of cells occurred around the initially browned epidermal cell. A group of necrotic cells consisted of 3 to 5 cell layers was then formed in a semi-spherical shape around the initially damaged epidermal cell. Subsequently, each cell in one or two layers adjacent to the necrotic cells became a pair of cells through a cell division. The cell division was repeated to make up a callus consisting of 10 to 12 cell layers around the necrotic cells. Thereafter, periderm was formed between the necrotic cells and the callus. Thus the melanose spot was finally formed by the three parts of a group of necrotic cells, a callus and a periderm, and invaded tissue was demarcated histologically. This phenomenon means self-protecting reaction responsed to the stimulation of citrus epidermal cell with penetration of D. citri, and melanose spot was formed as a mechanical barricade tissue by the self-protecting reaction. Star melanose and scar developed also in a similar fashion to that of melanose spot, consisting of a group of necrotic cells, a callus and a periderm. It seems that the self-protecting reaction started by response to the local damages resulting in dead cells of citrus by penetration of pathogens, permeation of drugs and mechanical injurys.View full abstractDownload PDF (3585K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSoil disinfestation by solar heating in closed plastic house was examined for applicability in control of Fusarium wilt of strawberry. During midsummer, experimental plastic house was entirely sealed and the soil surface was mulched with plastic film. To keep the soil in high moisture level, the soil was temporarily irrigated with sufficient volume of water before mulching. When soluble starch (25, 50g/kg dry soil) was ploughed into naturally infested soil before being submerged, solar heating treatment was more effective. The lethal exposure limit to the causal fungus was assumed to be 8-14 days at 40C. Soil temperature at 20cm deep in closed plastic house reached to 40C, effective lethal temperature, within 3 days in more insolated summer, but within 5 days in less insolated summer. To keep the temperature at 40C throughout day and night, 12-17 days were necessary in more insolated summer, but 20 or more days were necessary in less insolated summer. It was considered that rapid increase of soil temperature at 20cm deep in closed plastic house varied coincidentally with air temperature in the open field, especially with averaged maximum atmospheric temperature for 3 consecutive days. The following equation was obtained: Y=2, 37X-33.27, r=0.889**, where Y=soil temperature (C) at the depth of 20cm in the plastic house; X=averaged maximum atmospheric temperature of 3 consecutive days in the open field. However, it might be necessary to adjust this epuation according to size of the house or some other factors affecting the temperature in the tested plastic house. In naturally infested strawberry field, the temporarily submerged soil was mulched with plastic film in closed plastic house during July and August in several years. Population density of Fusarium oxysporum in the soil at 10-20cm deep decreased rapidly, and even 9 months after the treatment only a few of the fungus was recovered. Field experiments which were carried out in naturally infested strawberry field for 2 years demonstrated that solar heating treatment should be applicable to control Fusarium wilt of strawberry, and it brought an increase in yield and growth of the plant.View full abstractDownload PDF (943K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWhen ragi leaves (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.) were treated for 10 or 15sec at 55C in water before inoculation, Pyricularia oryzae and P. grisea exhibited the pathogenicity. The induced-susceptibility was manifested by the presence of sporulating lesions on leaves treated at the higher heat dosage and by the increased size of necrotic lesions. Phenomena associated with heat-induced susceptibility, lesion formation and sporulation on lesions, disappeared within 24 to 48hr after heat treatment.View full abstractDownload PDF (942K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSEffect of light and darkness on oospore formation of downy mildew fungus, Peronospora manshurica, of soybean, Glycine max, was investigated. Oospores were more abundantly formed in lesions floated on water at a light intensity of 20, 000lux than those in darkness. The ratio of total number of oogonia and oospores under light to that in darkness was 2.9-4.0. The total number of oogonia and oospores increased from the 3rd day of incubation and reached a maximum the 4th day of incubation in darkness. Under light, the total number of oogonia and oospores rapidly increased from the 2nd to 7th day of incubation. The oogonium was differentiated on the 3rd day of incubation and the oospore was formed on the 5th day of incubation in darkness. In contrast, under light, the oogonium was differentiated on the 2nd day of incubation, one day earlier than in darkness, and the oospore was formed on the 3rd day of incubation, 2 days earlier than in darkness. The number of oospores increased with the increase of incubation days in the light and photoperiod. Oospore formation was reduced by the treatment of lesions with 3-(3, 4-Dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea (DCMU) at concentrations of 10-6-10-4M under light. DCMU, however, did not affect the oospore formation at concentrations of ranging between 10-7-10-4M in darkness. This phenomenon supports the idea that oospore formation in lesions was decreased by means of the inhibition of photosynthesis of downy mildew lesions. It was concluded from these results that the oospore formation of soybean downy mildew fungus closely depends on the photosynthesis of host soybean leaves.View full abstractDownload PDF (725K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn 1978-1980, three viruses were isolated from field-grown spinach plants in Hokkaido. These viruses were identified as bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV), tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) by the experiments based on host range, physical properties, vector relationships, particle morphology and serology. BYMV isolated from spinach showing vein necrosis had flexuous filaments of about 750nm in length, and was transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent manner. Infectivity of crude sap from the infected plants was lost by heating at 55-60C for 10 minutes, by diluting at 10-3-5×10-3, and by aging at 20C for 2-4 days. Antiserum against this virus positively reacted with P strain of BYMV (BYMV-P) in immunodiffusion test, and a spur developed between the precipitin lines to the virus and BYMV-P. The virus infected many leguminous and non-leguminous plant species and caused top necrosis on broad bean and pea. The results indicated that the virus was N strain of BYMV. A virus showing mosaic symptoms on spinach, having straight rods of 300nm in length, and infected many species of Cruciferae was isolated. Infectivity in crude sap from infected plants was lost by heating at 90-95C for 10 minutes and diluting at 10-4-5×10-4. Antiserum against the virus reacted clearly with a crucifer strain of TMV, TMV-C. From these results, this virus was identified as a crucifer strain of TMV. Another virus was isolated from spinach showing mosaic and yellows symptoms. This virus was rod-shaped particles of 100-390nm in length, and was transmitted by infested soil but not by aphids. In crude sap from infected plants, the infectivity was lost by heating at 65-70C for 10 minutes, by diluting at 10-3-5×10-3, and aging for 2-4 days at 20C. As the virus reacted with antiserum against BNYVV, it was identified as BNYVV.View full abstractDownload PDF (1892K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSDisease incidence in damping-off of sugarbeet seedlings induced by Rhizoctonia solani AG2-2 declined rapidly after two successive triweekly plantings. However, there was not a great decrease in saprophytic activity by the flax baits until five to seven successive plantings. In a certain combination of soil and isolate, i.e., in Kiyokawa soil inoculated with sclerotia of isolate Rh-65, abnormally slow growth isolates in the early stage (less than half of the hyphal growth of healthy isolates during 5 days on potato dextrose agar) appeared after three to five successive plantings and then gradually accounted for almost the whole number of isolates.
When sclerotia were inoculated into the soil repeatedly with sugarbeet replants, disease incidence in the second successive crop of sugarbeet was extremely low (20%) compared with that of the first crop (60%), and disease incidence of the third crop was almost negligible. Such disease suppressiveness could have been induced only by adding living sclerotia to the soil independently of the presence of the host plant, but not induced by dead sclerotia or by successive replantings.
There was a greater increase in the number of soil microorgaisms in the soil of 11th, but not 2nd successive crop of sugarbeet, than in the soil of non-inoculated and non-planted soil (control). The disease decline was not closely related with the total number of soil microorganisms.View full abstractDownload PDF (830K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSTwenty isolates of WMV collected from different locations of western Japan were examined by leaf-dip serology and immunodiffusion test. The antiserum used in this study was prepared to an isolate 8 (E) which induced typical mosaic, veinbanding, leaf distortion and dwarf symptoms on cucurbits. Thirteen isolates reacted positively with the antiserum while seven isolates from Kagawa prefecture were negative. The serologically positive isolates were further classified into two groups on the basis of reactions on broadbean and garden pea; 4 isolates infected these species systemically while 9 isolates did not induce systemic infection. The isolates that did not react with the antiserum infected broadbean and garden pea systemically inducing mosaic symptoms. The two types of WMV were detected in field-infected cucurbit plants collected from Kagawa prefecture. These results indicate that there are at least two serologically distinct types of WMV in Kagawa prefeccture.View full abstractDownload PDF (1164K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWashed cells of the virulent isolates and avirulent or weakly-virulent mutants of Pseudomonas solanacearum suspended in pure water at a concentration of 102-3 cells/ml rapidly multiplied up to a level of 106 cells/ml during four days of incubation at 22C. The mode of multiplication was investigated with two virulent isolates, Ku7501-1 and KT-2, and avirulent mutant Ku7501-1-Av. All isolates multiplied to converge to the concentration of 106-7 cells/ml when initial concentration was low (less than 104 cells/ml) or moderate (104-6 cells/ml), while neither multiplication nor reduction occurred when initial concentration was high (higher than 106 cells/ml). The final concentration of the bacteria was maintained for long period. Bacterial multiplication in pure water was further confirmed by serial subculture experiment with the isolate Ku7501-1. When bacterial suspension was added to sterile pure water at a concentration of 102-3 cells/ml and subcultured serially 5 times, the bacteria multiplied up to 106-7 cells/ml during each incubation period of 3 days, suggesting that the cells propagated 1015 times in total. No difference was observed in the size of bacterial cells before and after multiplication with the electron microscope.View full abstractDownload PDF (1110K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSurvival of sugarbeet root rot fungus (Rhizoctonia solani AG2 Type 2) in the field and the role of the overwintered plant debris and sclerotia as inoculum have been studied. After overwintering, as the disease index increased, sclerotial number, viable sclerotial number (sclerotial number×sclerotial germination %), and the appearance of R. solani from plant debris (%) in the soil around the diseased sugarbeet were increased, and there were high correlations among them. Appearance of R. solani from overwintered plant debris (%) was extremely low (0∼4.2%). Although, sclerotial germination decreased rapidly from autumn to the next spring, there were many viable sclerotia in the soil around the sugarbeet with high disease index. Hyphal density emerging from plant debris was low (0.3%), and there was no correlation between the appearance of R. solani from plant debris (%) and the damping-off of seedlings of sugarbeet (%). On the other hand, hyphal density emerging from sclerotia was high (34.2%), and there was a high correlation between number of viable sclerotia and damping-off of seedlings of sugarbeet (%). Viable sclerotia, not plant debris, were thought to be the main inoculum.View full abstractDownload PDF (650K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA strain of TMV, LFD-St (=Lycopersicon fruit deforming streak strain) was isolated from an immature fruit of a streak-diseased tomato plant which showed convex irregular green rings, 1∼2cm in diameter, on the surface. In tomato this strain caused dark brown necrotic streaks along the veins on the undersides of the leaves and then these streaks developed on the petioles and the stem. The leaves showed interveinal necrotic spots and sometimes mosaic symptoms. Samsun tobacco produced necrotic local lesions on the LFD-St-inoculated leaves generally, but sometimes necrotic oak leaf patterns which surrounded the midrib and the larger veins of the inoculated leaves, instead of distinct local lesions. LFD-St caused also necrotic lesions on the inoculated leaves of many other tobacco cultivars, Nicotiana species, petunia, and Chenopodium amaranticolor. No local and systemic symptoms were produced on LFD-St-inoculated Phaseolus vulgaris. In tomato plants the infection of LFD-St was cross-protected by the preinoculation of L11A, an attenuated tomato strain of TMV. Samsun tobacco which produced necrotic local lesions by the inoculation of LFD-St showed often mild mosaic on the upper leaves from about 20 days to one month after inoculation. From such upper leaves a strain of TMV, LFD-1, was isolated. Other two strains of TMV, LFD-2 and LFD-3, were also isolated from Bright Yellow and Samsun tobacco, respectively, which had been inoculated originally with local lesion isolates of LFD-St. LFD-1 caused only local lesions on Bright Yellow tobacco, and LFD-2 local lesions followed by systemic necrotic and chlorotic lesions. LFD-3 caused severe mosaic on Samsun tobacco, local lesions and systemic mosaic symptoms on Bright Yellow tobacco, and necrotic local lesions on Phaseolus vulgaris. These three strains caused mosaic symptoms but no necrosis on tomato plant. LFD-St was inactivated by dilution between 10-5 and 10-6, and in ten min. at 90C. The dilution end points of LFD-1, -2, and -3 were between 10-8 and 10-9. The virus particles of these four strains were 300nm long and rod-shaped like the OM strain of TMV.View full abstractDownload PDF (1460K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSEffect of infection with filamentous phage Xf on the growth, ultrastructure and virulence of Xanthomonas campestris pv. oryzae N5850 was investigated. The growth of Xf-infected bacteria was considerably retarded at 30C as compared with that of uninfected bacteria. The Xf-infected bacteria, however, rapidly multiplied from 36hr after infection to almost the same level of concentration as reached by uninfected cells after 72hr of incubation. The infected bacteria could grow even at 35C to some extent, while uninfected bacteria could not. Electron microscopic observation of the ultrathin sectioned Xf-infected bacteria grown at 30, 33.8 and 35C revealed that a number of vesicles exist on the cell surface. Some remarkable changes in the intracellular structures, viz., lack of uniformity in distribution of both ribosomes and fibrils in nucleoid area were observed in the Xf-infected bacteria. Xf-infection caused the bacteria to produce a greater amount of extracellular polysaccharide and to increase virulence.View full abstractDownload PDF (1101K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSBlast resistance in parental rice varieties Zenith, Tetep, Tadukan, Ratna, Karuna and Co. 13 and F2 seedling derived from them were tested during kharif (October, 1981) and rabi (February-March, 1982) seasons applying high and low doses of nitrogen against C1, virulent and C3, less virulent isolates of Pyricularia oryzae. Zenith, Tetep and Tadukan were found resistant and Ratna, Karuna and Co. 13 were found susceptible to either isolates. Genetic constituent for blast resistance in Zenith and Tetep to C1 and C3 isolates was found to be digenic and monogenic, respectively. But in Tadukan two and three genes operate against both the isolates respectively for resistance. Resistant×resistant crosses produced some susceptible plants in F2 generation during both the seasons due to application of low and high doses of nitrogen to C1 isolate only. Susceptible×susceptible crosses could not produce a single resistant plant against C1 and C3 isolates. Variation in nitrogen doses and seasons did not affect the genetic status of the plants. Only we observed some shifting of ratios, i.e., from 13:3 to 9:7, 57:7 to 54:10, and so on due to high dose of nitrogn.View full abstractDownload PDF (1050K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSDNA base sequence homology among AG-1 isolates of Rhizoctonia solani was investigated on the basis of DNA-DNA reassociation kinetics, and the genetic relationship among pathological types was examined. High values of DNA homology (range from 98.0 to 100.3%) were observed among isolates of the sasakii type (IA). There was also high homology among isolates of the web-blight type (IB) (range from 95.7 to 99.4%). While, comparatively low values of DNA homology were observed between isolates of both types (range from 49.9 to 55.9%). These results indicated that each pathological type in AG-1 is genetically homogenous, but both types are genetically divergent from each other.View full abstractDownload PDF (895K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSDNA base sequence homology among AG-2 group isolates of Rhizoctonia solani was investigated on the basis of DNA-DNA reassociation kinetics, and the genetic relationship among pathological types was examined. DNA homology value among isolates within each single type was 100.3% with the winter crops type (II), 98.1% with the rush type (IIIB) and 100.1% with the root rot type (IV). Comparatively high values of DNA homology ranging from 68.6 to 71.5% were observed between rush type isolates and root rot type isolates, both belonging to AG-2-2. DNA homology values of winter crops type isolates of AG-2-1 with rush type isolates of AG-2-2 was 37.6 to 40.1%, and 43.5 to 49.4% with root rot type isolates of AG-2-2. These results suggested that each pathological type in AG-2 is genetically homogenous, and that between the rush type and the root rot type of AG-2-2 there is a small but significant partial heterogeneity. AG-2-1 and AG-2-2 may form genetically distinct groups.View full abstractDownload PDF (548K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSince 1973, a new disease of maskmelon caused by Rhizopus sp. occured in Shizuoka prefecture. The fungus of Rhizopus disease attacks on fruits of maskmelon were arrived at a market. Rhizopus sp. isolates obtained with high frequency from affected fruits. The symptoms appeared on the peduncle of muskmelon fruits at the begining of the disease development. The symptom on peduncle are covered with black mycelia. Soon after, the disease fruits softened and rotted circularly at the peduncle. The fungus was similar to Rhizopus stolonifer because of the agreements in their morphological and pathogenical properties to the description by Inui and Zycha. From these results, the causal fungus was identified as Rhizopus stolonifer (Eherenberg Ex Fr.) Lind (syn. Rhizopus nigricans Ehr.).View full abstractDownload PDF (747K)
