A modified baiting technique was conducted for selective isolation, fungal DNA diagnosis and fungal cell lipid assay derived from Myanmar isolates of Rhizoctonia spp., causal agents of rice sheath diseases by trapping selective plant stem segments. Bait plant materials of rice, mat rush and cotton were successfully used to isolate R. solani AG1-IA, R. oryzae and R. oryzae-sativae. Moreover, the three plant materials were also effectively used to detect genomic DNA derived from all Rhizoctonia spp. obtained from Myanmar. Rice segment was the most successful materials for detection of fungal cell lipids including palmitic, stearic and linoleic acids. The results of this experiment demonstrate that bait plant materials of rice, mat rush and cotton were the best useful tools for not only direct isolation, but also fungal DNA diagnosis and cell lipid assay of Myanmar soil environmental conditions. 相似文献

A total of 434 isolates of Rhizoctonia belonging to 10 anastomosis groups were obtained from the roots and rhizosphere soils of bean and soybean plants grown in Samsun, Turkey. AG-4 was found to be the most common group on bean and soybean plants and AG-5, AG-6, binucleate AG-A, AG-B and R. zeae were other groups isolated from the both plant species. AG-1, AG-7 and AG-K from bean and AG-E from soybean were other groups obtained in the study. The pathogenicity tests on bean and soybean seedlings showed that the highest disease severities were caused by AG-4 isolates, whereas AG-1 and AG-6 isolates were moderately pathogenic. Binucleate Rhizoctonia AG-B isolates were also moderately pathogenic, while other binucleate Rhizoctonia were found to be weakly pathogenic. Rhizoctonia zeae isolates caused moderate disease symptoms on bean, but soybean plants were slightly affected by this group of isolates. This is the first reported observation of R. solani AG-6 and AG-7 and binucleate Rhizoctonia AG-B on bean, and R. solani AG-5 and AG-6 and binucleate Rhizoctonia AG-A, AG-B and AG-E on soybean, in Turkey. 相似文献

Rhizoctonia complex of rice has been detected in rice growing areas of Myanmar. The primary objective of this study is to study the varietal response of rice to Rhizoctonia complex and to distinguish the symptom expression of rice responses to these pathogens. Myanmar rice cultivars namely Manawthukha, Shwethweyin, Sinthwelatt and Yezinlonthwe were used to inoculate with three isolates of each species of Rhizoctonia solani, Rhizoctonia oryzae and Rhizoctonia oryzae-sativae. The symptoms created by each species of Rhizoctonia were distinguished by the size and colour of the lesion. Variation in lesion length was observed among different isolate-rice cultivar combination. Shwethweyin variety is the most susceptible one to all the tested three species among the four tested varieties. 相似文献

Endophytic fungi belonging to the genus Neotyphodium often form symbiotic associations with grasses. The host plants usually benefit from the association with an endophyte. Presence of the symbiont may increase host resistance to infection by some pathogens. However, the exact mechanism of the lower susceptibility of endophyte‐infected plants to diseases is still unclear. Growth chamber trials were conducted to determine whether (a) tall fescue plants infected with the endophyte Neotyphodium coenophialum (E+) are more resistant to sheath and leaf spot disease caused by Rhizoctonia zeae than endophyte‐free (E?) plants, and (b) R. zeae growth inhibition is associated with endophyte presence. Tall fescue genotypes, each symbiotic with a genetically different native endophyte strain, were inoculated with isolates of R. zeae. The tillers infection by R. zeae, density of endophyte hyphae and content of total phenolic compounds in tillers were studied. Antifungal activity of the N. coenophialum towards R. zeae, Rhizoctonia solani, Bipolaris sorokiniana and Curvularia lunata was also investigated in dual‐culture assays. For Tf3, Tf4, TfA2 and TfA9 tall fescue genotypes, the E+ plants had reduced R. zeae infection. In the Tf9 and Tf8085 genotypes, R. zeae infection was similar for both E+ and E? plants. The strongest effect was observed for the Tf4 endophyte. A strongly positive correlation (r = 0.94) occurred between endophyte hyphal density and disease index across all tall fescue genotypes. Dual‐culture assays showed no inhibitory interaction between the seven endophyte strains and the R. zeae isolates; however, some endophytes inhibited R. solani, B. sorokiniana and C. lunata. Endophyte presence increased the production of phenolic compounds by the host grasses. The level of phenolics also differed significantly depending on the time of analysis after inoculation of plants by R. zeae. The results indicate that N. coenophialum can suppress disease severity caused by R. zeae infection. The mechanism of higher resistance of E+ plants is likely not based on direct inhibition such as antibiosis or competition. Thus, the induction of specific mechanisms in the host plant, for example, production of phenolic compounds, seems to be the main way of providing resistance to the grass by the endophyte. 相似文献

Abstract Surveys were conducted between the years of 2005 and 2006 at several locations in the northern, central and southern parts of West Malaysia to study the polymorphism of Ralstonia solanacearum strains. These sites included vegetables and farms with known hosts of the pathogen, such as banana, tomato, eggplant, chili and tobacco. Samples were collected from the suspected wilted plants and weeds, including soil and water samples, in selected areas. The bacterium was isolated in all samples using semi-selective tetrazolium chloride medium (TZC). The bacteria strains were detected by using the BIOLOG identification system and were confirmed by nested-PCR. Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) profiling was performed to determine polymorphism among 58 bacterial isolates. The results showed that the fatty acid composition varied for all R. solanacearum isolates. Grouping of R. solanacearum isolates by fatty acid composition suggested that the existence of distinct groups that were significantly related to host of bacteria but low correlation between fatty acid profiles and biovar or sampling site was detected. A unique FAME profile was found among the strains that have been isolated from banana. 相似文献

Forty‐two isolates of Rhizoctonia spp. were obtained from onion in Amasya, Turkey. Of these, 29% were Rhizoctonia solani (AG‐4), 69% were Waitea circinata var. zeae (Rhizoctonia zeae) and 2% were binucleate Rhizoctonia (AG‐B). Most of the isolates were recovered from rhizosphere soil. In pathogenicity tests on onion, R. solani AG‐4 caused the greatest disease severity, those of W. circinata var. zeae were moderately virulent but binucleate Rhizoctonia isolates were of low virulence. This is the first report of binucleate Rhizoctonia AG‐B and W. circinata var. zeae occurring on onion in Turkey. 相似文献

In 2013, an outbreak of Rhizopus rot caused by Rhizopus oryzae occurred in cucumber grafted onto pumpkin rootstock sampled from seedling farms in Changnyeong, South Korea. A water‐soaked appearance of the affected tissue was the first symptom of this soft fungal rot in the seedling stems of grafted cucumber. Lesions at the graft sites softened and rapidly, rotted, and turned brown or dark brown. Measurements and taxonomic characteristics were most similar to R. oryzae. DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer rRNA gene region confirmed that the isolates were indeed R. oryzae. Koch's postulates were supported by pathogenicity tests conducted on healthy plants. Based on mycological characteristics, pathogenicity test, and molecular analysis, the causal fungus was identified as R. oryzae Went & Prinsen Geerligs. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Rhizopus rot caused by R. oryzae in seedlings of grafted cucumber on pumpkin rootstock in South Korea. 相似文献

Bacterial blight (BB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a major disease of rice in the tropics for which genetic resistance in the host plants is the only effective solution. This study aimed at identification of resistance gene combinations effective against Xoo isolates and fingerprinting of the Xoo isolates of Andaman Islands (India). Here, we report the reaction of 21 rice BB differentials possessing Xa1 to Xa21 genes individually and in different combinations to various isolates of pathogen collected from Andaman Islands. Pathological screening results of 14 isolates revealed that among individual genes tested across 2 years, Xa4, Xa7 and Xa21 conferred resistance reaction across all isolates, whereas among combinations, IRBB 50 (Xa4 + xa5), IRBB 52 (Xa4 + Xa21) and IRBB 60 (Xa4 + xa5 + xa13 + Xa21) conveyed effective resistance against tested isolates. The nature of genetic diversity among four isolates selected on the basis of geographical isolation in the islands was studied through DNA finger printing. The RAPD primers S111, S119, S1117, S1109, S1103, S109 and S105 were found to be better indicators of molecular diversity among isolates than JEL primers. The diversity analysis grouped 14 isolates into three major clusters based on disease reaction wherein isolate no. 8 was found the most divergent as well as highly virulent. The remaining isolates were classified into two distinct groups. The importance of the study in the context of transfer of resistance gene(s) in the local cultivars specifically for tropical island conditions is presented and discussed. 相似文献

This study aimed to examine Brazilian M. oryzae populations using 18 microsatellites. Fifty cultivars were sown in plastic trays for the pathotyping of 847 isolates. The DNA of 494 isolates was extracted and purified using the modified Doyle and Doyle method, the genetic structure was determined by the software Structure, and the actual number was selected from the prediction method based on the K values. Nei's genetic distance among the subpopulations was determined with the aid of the program Genetix, and the amova was performed with the program Arlequin. Out of 847 inoculated monosporic isolates, 528 infected their respective cultivars; of the 528 isolates pathotyped, there was a prevalence of group IA and pathotype IF‐1, which was the most frequent pathotype in the rice production areas of Brazil. The Bayesian clustering analysis indicated that 19 was the optimal value of K; this value was the lowest standard deviation and log (ln K) closest to zero, which predicted the 494 isolates of M. oryzae that were selected for molecular studies to be grouped into 19 subpopulations. The AMOVA detected a 37.13% variability within the 19 subpopulations and 62.87% variability among the subpopulations. The polymorphic information content (PIC) ranged from 0 to 0.756. Thirty three rare alleles were found distributed among 15 out of 19 subpopulations. The Margalef index ranged from 38.69 to 79.21 for all 18 analysed locus. The results indicated that the identification of different blast resistance genes must consider the composition of each subpopulation and that the identification is most effective when performed within a subpopulation and then between subpopulations. 相似文献

Rice leaves with bacterial blight or bacterial leaf streak symptoms were collected in southern China in 2007 and 2008. Five hundred and thirty‐four single‐colony isolates of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and 827 single‐colony isolates of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola were obtained and tested on plates for sensitivity to streptomycin. Four strains (0.75%) of X. oryzae pv. oryzae isolated from the same county of Province Yunnan were resistant to streptomycin, and the resistance factor (the ratio of the mean median effective concentration inhibiting growth of resistant isolates to that of sensitive isolates) was approximately 226. The resistant isolate also showed streptomycin resistance in vivo. In addition to resistant isolates, isolates of less sensitivity were also present in the population of X. oryzae pv. oryzae from Province Yunnan. However, no isolates with decreased streptomycin‐sensitivity were obtained from the population of X. oryzae pv. oryzicola. Mutations in the rpsL (encoding S12 protein) and rrs genes (encoding 16S rRNA) and the presence of the strA gene accounting for streptomycin resistance in other phytopathogens or animal and human pathogenic bacteria were examined on sensitive and resistant strains of X. oryzae pv. oryzae by polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing. Neither the presence of the strA gene nor mutations in the rpsL or rrs were found, suggesting that different resistance mechanisms are involved in the resistant isolates of X. oryzae pv. oryzae. 相似文献

The population structure of Magnaporthe oryzae from green foxtail (Setaria viridis) in Japan was examined by DNA fingerprint analyses using the transposable elements MGR586 and MAGGY as probes. Fifteen M. oryzae isolates from green foxtail were collected from 11 Japanese prefectures so that a macrogeographic population of this pathogen
is represented. All the 15 isolates were sorted into distinct haplotypes by DNA fingerprint analyses with both probes. Furthermore,
similarities between the DNA fingerprint profiles of the 15 isolates were exclusively low; i.e., if lineages are arbitrarily
established based on greater than 70% similarities in isolates, the 15 isolates could be categorized into 13 distinct lineages
by DNA fingerprinting with both probes. We also examined the MGR586 DNA fingerprint variations of this pathogen in 9 microgeographic
populations each of which contained 20 to 24 isolates collected from a 1 m2 or 50 m2 area. In all the 9 populations, more than 2 haplotypes, which shared less than 70% similarities, were identified in the DNA
fingerprint profiles. These results suggested that M. oryzae isolates from the green foxtail in Japan possessed a complex lineage structure, even at the microgeographic scale. 相似文献

Fifty isolates of Bipolaris oryzae from rice were characterized morpho‐pathologically and molecularly. Based on colony morphology and growth pattern on PDA, these isolates were grouped into four categories: black with suppressed growth (21 isolates), black with cottony growth (16 isolates), black with fluffy growth (12 isolates) and white with cottony growth (1 isolate). The frequency of the black and suppressed type was the highest (42%) with maximum aggressiveness (mean spore count of 1854/cm2), whereas the white and cottony growth isolate had lowest frequency (2%) and aggressiveness (548/cm2). Thirteen B. oryzae isolates (four isolates from Groups I, II and III and one isolate from Group IV) were further tested for their variability with random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers. Twenty RAPD primers were screened, of which 10 gave amplification; however, only six primers gave reproducible results. Based on the molecular similarity of the RAPD profiles, the isolates were grouped in to three major clusters and maximum linkage distance between them was determined as 0.29 units. This study establishes the variability among B. oryzae isolates. 相似文献

A polygalacturonase from the filamentous fungus Rhizopus oryzae strain sb (NRRL 29086), previously shown to be effective in the retting of flax fibers, was shown by the analysis of its
reaction products on polygalacturonic acid to be an endo-type. By zymogram analysis, the enzyme in the crude culture filtrate
appeared as two active species of 37 and 40 kD. The endopolygalacturonase-encoding gene was cloned in Escherichia coli and its translated 383-amino acid sequence found to be identical to that of a presumed exopolygalacturonase found in R. oryzae strain YM9901 and 96% identical to a hypothetical protein (RO3G_04731.1) in the sequenced genome of R. oryzae strain 99–880. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the presence of an unique cluster of Rhizopus polygalacturonase sequences that are separate from other fungal polygalacturonases. Conservation of 12 cysteines appears
to be a special feature of this family of Rhizopus polygalacturonase sequences.

DNA fingerprinting was performed on 64 strains of Aspergillus oryzae and 1 strain of Aspergillus sojae isolated from soy sauce factories within Malaysia and Southeast Asia that use traditional methods in producing “tamari-type”
Cantonese soy sauce. PstI digests of total genomic DNA from each isolate were probed using the pAF28 repetitive sequence. Strains of A. oryzae were distributed among 32 genotypes (30 DNA fingerprint groups). Ten genotypes were recorded among 17 A. oryzae isolates from a single soy sauce factory. Genotypes Ao-46 and GTAo-47, represented by 8 and 5 strains, respectively, were
isolated from a soy sauce factory in Kuala Lumpur and factories in two Malaysian states. Four strains of GTAo-49, isolated
from three soy sauce factories in Malaysia; each produced sclerotia. Two strains were found to be naturally occurring color
mutants of NRRL 32623 (GTAo-49) and NRRL 32668 (GTAo-52). Only two fingerprint matches were produced with the 43 DNA fingerprint
groups in our database, representing A. oryzae genotypes from Japan, China, and Taiwan. Aspergillus sojae NRRL 32650 produced a fingerprint matching GTAo-9, the only known genotype representing koji strains of A. sojae. No aflatoxin was detected in broth cultures of these koji strains as determined by TLC. 相似文献

Sheath rot disease of rice caused by Sarocladium oryzae (Sawada) (=Acrocylindrium oryzae, Sawada) has become an important production constraint in all rice-growing countries. Pathogenicity, phytotoxic metabolites, and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to assess the level of genetic variability of S. oryzae derived from rice cultivars, CR1018, IR36, and IR50, of different locations in North East and South India. Variability in pathogenicity, phytotoxic metabolite production, and DNA polymorphisms was detected among S. oryzae isolates. Results indicated that S. oryzae isolates produced both cerulenin and helvolic acid at concentrations 0.3–0.62 and 0.9–4.8 μg mL−1 of culture filtrate, respectively. Isolates that produce higher concentration of helvolic acid induced a high percent incidence of sheath rot disease. Oligonucleotide primers, GF and MR, generated either a simple (up to 2 bands) or complex (up to 6 bands) RAPD pattern. According to their level of similarity, S. oryzae isolates from North East and South India were grouped separately into two major clusters and 13 genotypes. Molecular- and pathogenicity-based classifications were not correlated, but a high level of genetic variability within S. oryzae isolates was identified. The molecular variability of S. oryzae isolates will be an important consideration in breeding programs to develop durable resistance for sheath rot disease. 相似文献

Pyricularia oryzae Cav. reacts differently to different varieties. IB race group attacked Zenith for three consecutive years for both rabi and kharif seasons under artificial inoculation condition. Three different isolates were obtained in IB race which differed in their pathogenicity giving a constant susceptible reaction to Zenith. The difference in energy potential of three isolates of P. oryzae was tested biochemically. Total sugar, protein and protein patterns were studied following modern methods. W isolate contained maximum amount of total sugar (18.3 μg/g), total protein (23.8 μg/g albumin equivalent) and seven distinct protein bands on polyacrylamide disc electrophoretic gel which was directly correlated with maximum infection value. So it was concluded that the aggressiveness of P. oryzae depends on its energy potentiality in terms of total protein and protein patterns. 相似文献

A high level of genetic polymorphism was detected among Indian isolates of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae using hypervariable probes such as a microsatellite oligonucleotide, probe (TG)10, a human minisatellite probe, pV47, an avirulence gene probe, avrXa10 and a repeat clone, pBS101. These DNA probes detected multiple loci in the bacterial genome generating complex DNA fingerprints
and differentiated all of the bacterial isolates. Analysis of fingerprints indicated that pV47, (TG)10 and pBS101 have a lower probability of identical match than avrXa10 and therefore are potential probes for DNA fingerprinting and variability analysis of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae pathogen populations. Cluster analysis based on hybridization patterns using all of the above probes showed five
groups at 56% similarity. Studies on the methylation patterns of isolates representing the three important races of X. oryzae pv. oryzae indicated more methylation in the most virulent isolate, suggesting a possible role of methylation in pathogenicity.

Genetic diversity among 27 isolates (23 from chickpea and 4 from other host crops) of Rhizoctonia bataticola representing 11 different states of India was determined by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), internal transcribed
spacer restriction fragment length polymorphism (ITS-RFLP) and ITS sequencing. The isolates showed variability in virulence
test. Unweighted paired group method with arithmetic average cluster analysis was used to group the isolates into distinct
clusters. The clusters generated by RAPD grouped all the isolates into six categories at 40% genetic similarity. High level
of diversity was observed among the isolates of different as well as same state. Some of the RAPD (OPN 4, OPN 12, and OPN
20) markers clearly distinguished majority of the isolates into the area specific groups. The ITS I, 5.8rDNA and ITS II regions
of 11 isolates representing different RAPD groups were amplified with primers ITS 1 and ITS 4 and digested with seven restriction
enzymes. The restriction enzymes DraI, MboI, RsaI, and AluI were found to be suitable for differentiating the isolates into five categories by showing isolate specific ITS-RFLP patterns.
The isolates were variable in their nucleotide sequences of the ITS regions. This is the first study on genetic diversity
among chickpea isolates of R. bataticola. 相似文献

The use of broad-spectrum R genes is an effective way to achieve durable resistance against rice blast (Magnaporthe oryzae Couch, anamorph: Pyricularia oryzae Cavara) in rice (Oryza sativa L.). We previously surveyed the diversity of blast resistance in 948 rice varieties and found a Myanmar rice landrace, Haoru (International Rice Research Institute genebank acc. no. IRGC33090), with broad-spectrum resistance against the standard differential blast isolates. Here, we examined the genetic basis of Haoru’s broad-spectrum resistance by using the standard blast differential system consisting of the standard isolates and differential varieties. For genetic analysis, we used a BC1F1 population and BC1F2 lines derived from crosses of Haoru with a susceptible variety, US-2. Co-segregation analysis of the reaction pattern in the BC1F1 population against the 20 standard isolates suggested that Haoru harbors three R genes. By using bulk-segregant and linkage analysis, we mapped two of the three R genes on chromosomes 12 and 6, and designated them as Pi58(t) and Pi59(t), respectively. Pi58(t) and Pi59(t) were differentiated from other reported R genes using the standard differential system. The estimated resistance spectrum of Pi58(t) corresponded with that of Haoru, suggesting that Pi58(t) is primarily responsible for Haoru’s broad-spectrum resistance. In addition, Pi59(t) and the third gene were also proven to be new and useful genetic resources for studying and improving blast resistance in rice. 相似文献

The 51 isolates, the causing agents of maize eyespot, were identified as Kabatiella zeae with morphological and molecular methods. The structure of the MAT locus in K. zeae JLMHK‐9 strain contains MAT1‐1 and MAT1‐2 genes which are transcribed in opposite directions, DNA lyase gene (APN2) which is adjacent to the 3′ flanking region of MAT1‐2‐1 gene and a pleckstrin homology domain (PH) which is adjacent to the 3′ flanking region of MAT1‐1‐1 gene. The specific primers are used to identify the mating types of K. zeae isolates collected from six provinces in China, and our findings speculate that K. zeae is a homothallic species. 相似文献
