RESUMO

Kiwifruit is moderately sweet and sour and quite popular among consumers; it has been widely planted in some areas of the world. In 2019, the crown gall disease of kiwifruit was discovered in the main kiwifruit-producing area of Guizhou Province, China. This disease can weaken and eventually cause the death of the tree. The phylogeny, morphological and biological characteristics of the bacteria were described, and were related to diseases. The pathogenicity of this species follows the Koch hypothesis, confirming that A. fabacearum is the pathogen of crown gall disease of kiwifruit in China. In this study, Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) analysis for genome-specific gene sequences was developed for the specific detection of A. fabacearum. The detection limit of the LAMP method is 5 × 10-7 ng/µL, which has high sensitivity. At the same time, the amplified product is stained with SYBR Green I after the reaction is completed, so that the amplification can be detected with the naked eye. LAMP analysis detected the presence of A. fabacearum in the roots and soil samples of the infected kiwifruit plant. The proposed LAMP detection technology in this study offers the advantages of ease of operation, visibility of results, rapidity, accuracy and high sensitivity, making it suitable for the early diagnosis of crown gall disease of kiwifruit.

RESUMO

We present difference frequency generators (DFGs) using cascaded PPLN crystals, each with a distinct poling-period, as the parametric gain medium. We show that the phase-matching bandwidth of cascaded crystals is the combination of that of each individual crystal. In the non-phase-matched section of cascaded crystals, there exists periodic backward and forward frequency-conversion processes. Nonetheless, we demonstrate that such a periodic back-conversion process would not compromise the parametric gain bandwidth of cascaded nonlinear crystals. By using two PPLN crystals with poling periods of 31 µm and 29 µm, we experimentally obtained mid-infrared light sources having instantaneous-bandwidth covering 2.8-3.9 µm, which was roughly twice as much as that from a system based on a single crystal. Moreover, our numerical results show that light sources with an instantaneous-bandwidth covering 2.5-5 µm could be obtained by cascading more crystals. This scheme represents a promising technical route to transform conventional DFGs into a device capable of generating spatially-coherent light emission with very broad instantaneous-bandwidth.

RESUMO

Kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) is an important commercial crop in China, and the occurrence of diseases may cause significant economic loss in its production. In the present study, a new pathogen that causes brown leaf spot disease on kiwifruit was reported. The fungus was isolated from an infected sample and identified as Fusarium graminearum based on morphological and molecular evaluation. Koch's postulates were confirmed when the pathogen was re-isolated from plants with artificially induced symptoms and identified as F. graminearum. Based on the biological characteristics of the pathogen, it was determined that: its optimal growth temperature was 25 °C; optimal pH was 7; most suitable carbon source was soluble starch; most suitable nitrogen source was yeast powder; and best photoperiod was 12 h light/12 h dark. Further investigations were conducted by determining 50% effective concentrations (EC50) of several active ingredients of biological fungicides against F. graminearum. The results showed that among the studied fungicides, tetramycin and honokiol had the highest antifungal activity against this pathogen. Our findings provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of brown leaf spot disease on kiwifruit.
