In the long-term interaction between pathogens and host, the pathogens regulate the expression of related viru-lence genes to fit the host environment in response to the changes in the host microenvironment. Gene expression was believed to be controlled mainly at the level of transcription initiation by repressors or activators. Recent studies have revealed that small noncoding RNAs (sRNAs) are key regulators in bacterial pathogenesis. sRNA in bacteria is a noncoding RNA with length ranging from 50 to 500 nucleotides. Pathogens can sense the changes in the host environment and consequently regulate the expression of virulence genes by sRNAs. This condition promotes the ability of pathogens to survive within the host, which is beneficial to the invasion and pathogenicity of pathogens. In contrast to transcriptional factors, sRNA-mediated gene regu-lation makes rapid and sensitive responses to environmental cues. Many sRNAs involved in bacterial virulence and pathogenesis have been identified. These sRNAs are key components of coordinated regulation networks, playing important roles in regulating the expression of virulence genes at post-transcriptional level. This review aims to provide an overview on the molecular mechanisms and roles of sRNAs in the regulation of bacterial virulence.

Six diseases have been found after disease surveys on Notopterygium incisum in Gansu province during 2004 to 2007. They were brown spot (Ascochyta levistici), powdery mildew (Erysiphe heraclei), grey spot (Alternaria sp. ; Alternaria burnsii), leaf spot (Septoria dearnessii), angular leaf spot (Pleospora sp.), leaf streak (Phoma sp.), bacterial angular leaf spot and a virus disease. Bacterial angular leaf spot and powdery mildew are the urgent problems waiting to be solved effectively. All these diseases were reported for the first time in China.

One type of important plant disease resistance, gene-for-gene resistance, is resulted from the interactions between products of the pathogen avirulence (Avr) genes and their matching plant resistance (R) genes. Avr genes have been cloned from a variety of pathogens including fungi, bacteria, viruses and oomycetes. No significant homology is found between sequences of the most cloned Avr genes and those of known proteins or between those of themselves. However, significant homology has been found between sequences of the cloned R genes and those of known proteins or between those of themselves. R proteins consist of similar domains. It has been reported that hypersensitive cell death and resistance, which are induced by interactions between products of different Avr/R gene pairs consisting of similar R genes but different Avr genes, are distinct in development speed, strength, and organ and tissue specificity. Avr genes have dual functions: Pathogens containing Avr genes are avirulent to plants carrying the matching R genes, while they are virulent in race, strain, pathovar or species-specific way to plants without carrying the matching R genes.

The IgA1 proteases are a group of proteolytic enzymes, which are produced by pathogenic bacteria that infect and colonize mucosal surfaces. This group of proteolytic enzymes was found to cleave specific peptide bonds within the sequence TPPTPSPSTPPTPSPS (T, P and S are threonine, proline and serine residues, respectively) found in the hinge region of human IgA1. Several findings support the role of IgA1 protease, for example, its ability to cleave human LAMP1 (hLAMP1), TNF-RII, the CD8 molecule of T lymphocytes and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), synaptobrevin II, hormone human chorionic gonadotropin, and its ability to exhibit important immunomodulatory properties, etc. , in particular the induction of proinflammatory cytokines. The IgA1 proteases have been found to instigate part of the T cell inflammatory response, especially to stimulate the release of cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-8 (IL-8). All these suggest that this enzyme plays a significant role in pathogenesis. There are many other researches to explore new biological treatments of diseases using the biological characteristics of IgA1 protease.

This study was aimed to clarify the toxicity indoor and inhibition effect of biocontrol strain NJ13 and its mixture with chemical fungicides against Fusarium solani causing ginseng root rot. The method of mycelial growth rate and Sun Yunpei method were used to determine the indoor toxicity and co-toxicity coefficient of strain NJ13 and their mixture with chemical pesticides against F. solani. The dual culture assay method,mixed culture method and microscopic observation were used to determine the sporulation and germination of spores and mycelial growth and morphological change of hyphae of F. solani treated by strain NJ13. The results of toxicity indoor showed that strain NJ13 had the best inhibitory effect on pathogen,and its EC_(50) value was 0. 071 mg·L~(-1). It was all synergistic for antifungal effect that strain NJ13 was mixed with propiconazole and difenoconazole respectively with a range from 1 ∶4 to 4 ∶1( volume ratio). Both of optimal ratios were 1 ∶1,and the co-toxicity coefficients were 848. 70 and 859. 73,respectively. The strain NJ13 could inhibit the sporulation,germination and mycelial growth of F. solani. The biocontrol strain NJ13 had an inhibition effect on F. solani,and the optimal antifungal ratio of strain NJ13 mixed with propiconazole and difenoconazole was obtained.
