Bacillus subtilis RB14‐C, which produces the antibiotic iturin A, was investigated for its effectiveness as a biocontrol agent against Rhizoctonia solani infecting tomato using seed coating and/or direct introduction of the bacteria to the soil. The ability of RB14‐C to colonize plant roots and produce iturin A in soil, depending on the method of bacterial application, was also determined. Seed coating and the combined treatment (soil and seed bacterization) did not protect seedlings against damping‐off caused by R. solani. By contrast, RB14 introduced only to the soil controlled the disease. The total number of RB14‐C bacteria on the roots of plants grown from coated seeds was significantly lower than on the roots of plants grown in soil mixed with the bacteria. In the combined treatment, application of B. subtilis with seeds to soil preinoculated with this bacterium, at first suppressed the population of RB14‐C in the soil. Then the colonization was generally uniform. The concentration of iturin A in non‐planted soil was highest at the beginning of the experiment (i.e. after application of the bacterial suspension) but then decreased, and was undetectable 3 days after incubation. However, after seed planting the antibiotic was produced again around young roots. Bacteria introduced to the soil as a seed coating also released the antibiotic around the seeds.  相似文献

A semi‐solid fermentation product of the potential biocontrol fungus Stilbella aciculosa was formulated on wheat bran: water (1:1, w/w) and incubated 5, 10 and 15 days before addition to soil infested with the pathogen Rhizoctonia solani. Generally, preparations did not reduce survival of the pathogen in infested beet seed but they did prevent saprophytic growth of the pathogen from beet seed into soil. The magnitude of reduction by the 15‐day‐old inoculum was greater than that by the 5‐day‐old inoculum. Ten‐day‐old bran preparations of S. aciculosa at rates of 0.5 and 1.0% (w/w) in soil prevented post‐emergence damping‐off of cotton, radish and sugar beet in the glasshouse and a rate of 1.0% gave stands similar to those in the non‐infested control soil. The antagonist, grown on perlite formulated with molasses, cornmeal, alfalfa tissue or corn stover, prevented damping‐off of cotton in a naturally infested soil. However, the stands were not as great as that in soil planted with pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB)‐treated seed. Toxic metabolites, produced by S. aciculosa developing on various substrates, slightly inhibited the growth of R. solani in culture and induced cytoplasmic leakage of the pathogen mycelium.  相似文献

Bacillus subtilis RB14-CS, which suppresses the growth of various plant pathogens in vitro by producing the lipopeptide antibiotic iturin A, was cultured using soybean curd residue, okara, a by-product of tofu manufacture in solid-state fermentation. After 4 days incubation, iturin A production reached 3,300 mg/kg wet solid material (14 g/kg dry solid material), which is approximately tenfold higher than that in submerged fermentation. When the okara product cultured with RB14-CS was introduced into soil infested with Rhizoctonia solani, which is a causal agent of damping-off of tomato, the disease occurrence was significantly suppressed. After 14 days, the number of RB14-CS cells remained in soil at the initial level, whereas almost no iturin A was detected in soil. As the okara cultured with RB14-CS exhibited functions of both plant disease suppression and nutritional effect on tomato seedlings, this product is expected to contribute to the recycling of the soybean curd residue.  相似文献

Novel strains of rhizobacteria, Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf 9A‐14, Pseudomonas sp. Psp. 8D‐45 and Bacillus subtilis Bs 8B‐1, showed broad‐spectrum antagonistic activity and provided suppression of Pythium damping‐off and root rot of cucumber. Their biocontrol potential was further investigated for suppression of additional seedling diseases of cucumber (Phytophthora capsici) and radish (Rhizoctonia solani). Bacterial strains were also characterised for production of antibiotics, metabolites, volatiles, phytohormones and lytic enzymes. Seed and pre‐plant applications of all three antagonistic bacteria as cell suspension and talc or irradiated peat formulations to the infested potting mix provided overall high level of suppression of Phytophthora damping‐off and root rot of cucumber (66–85% healthy seedlings) and relatively low level of suppression of Rhizoctonia damping‐off of radish (18–38% healthy seedlings). Bacterial treatments also resulted in higher plant fresh masses. Seed coating with irradiated peat formulation of a mixture of three bacteria resulted in superior control of Phytophthora damping‐off and root rot of cucumber and much higher plant fresh masses. The presence of genes for biosynthesis of phenazine‐1‐carboxylic acid, 2,4‐diacetylphloroglucinol, pyrrolnitrin and pyoluteorin was confirmed in Pseudomonas strains, and that of fengycin, bacillomycin, bacilysin, surfactin and iturin A in B. subtilis Bs 8B‐1. All three strains produced HCN, salicylic acid, indole‐3‐acetic acid, protease and β‐1,3‐glucanase. Both Pseudomonas strains produced siderophores and only P. fluorescens Pf 9A‐14 showed phosphate solubilisation and chitinase activity. All three strains inhibited pathogen growth by producing volatiles, and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis revealed eight compounds in Pf 9A‐14, 10 in Bs 8B‐1 and 4 in Psp 8D‐45, some with known antifungal activity. The antagonistic and plant‐growth promotion activities of these strains might be due to production of antibiotics, metabolites, lytic enzymes or phytohormones.  相似文献

The synthetic mustered flavouring essential oil, allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), was evaluated for its effect on suppression of Rhizoctonia solani growth in vitro, and in field soils for reducing inoculum density, saprophytic substrate colonization and seedling damping off and blight using snap bean and cabbage as indicator plants. In vitro growth was completely inhibited at the concentration of 50 μl/l. Inoculum density and saprophytic substrate colonization by the fungus in soil were not affected by AITC concentrations of 50 or 75 μl/kg soil. The inoculum density estimation by the use of soil‐drop technique created an artefact leading to an erroneous conclusion that the fungus was eradicated from soil within 1–3 days after AITC treatment at 150 or 200 μl/kg soil. The saprophytic substrate colonization showed that although the activity of R. solani was greatly reduced, the fungus still colonized 45% of the substrate units at these concentrations, and up to 100% at lower concentrations within 1 day after treatment. At higher concentrations the recovery rate from the substrates gradually declined over time to <6%. Drenching R. solani infested sandy‐loam or silty‐clay‐loam soil with water containing the emulsified AITC to provide 150 or 200 μl/l soil, a few days prior to planting, gave over 90% disease control in snap bean and cabbage, with no apparent phytotoxic effect. The effect of AITC was not influenced by the physical soil texture. AITC appears to have a good potential to replace methyl bromide fumigation of the substrate used for transplant production.  相似文献

To alleviate the environmental contamination due to persistent chemical usage, approaches to integrated pest management were conceived. In this perspective, microbe–microbe interactions such as mycorrhizal relationships with other soil microbiota in the rhizosphere like the plant growth‐promoting fungi (PGPF) are particularly important. Better understanding of the interactions between beneficial microbial groups is imperative in the identification of possible synergistic or antagonistic effects to improve their practical usage as biocontrol agents or biofertilizers. In this study, the consequence of co‐inoculation of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Glomus mosseae (Gm) and the PGPF Fusarium equiseti (isolates GF18‐3 and GF19‐1) in terms of plant growth enhancement, root and rhizosphere colonisation, and development of anthracnose (Colletotrichum orbiculare) and damping‐off (Rhizoctonia solani AG‐4) diseases in cucumber plants was investigated under controlled conditions. The amendment of either GF18‐3 or GF19‐1 singly or in combination with Gm indicated a general tendency to significantly enhance the shoot dry weight (SDW) of cucumber plants at 4 weeks after planting (WAP). Similarly, Gm alone significantly enhanced SDW at 4 WAP. Gm showed a tendency to depress root colonisation by F. equiseti but such antagonistic effect was not observed in the rhizosphere soil. Both GF18‐3 and GF19‐1 significantly reduced percent root colonisation of Gm. However, these general tendencies may vary with the inoculum densities of AMF and PGPF. Both F. equiseti and Gm inoculated singly significantly increased percent of protection against anthracnose, but the combined inoculation was more effective in controlling the disease compared to single inoculation. The inoculation of the cucumber seedlings with GF18‐3, GF19‐1 or Gm, 6 or 12 days prior to damping‐off pathogen inoculation, increased percent of protection against damping‐off disease. This study shows that the co‐inoculation of F. equiseti and Gm resulted in additive effect on the suppression of anthracnose disease in cucumber.  相似文献

Agrobacterium radiobacter B6 and agrobacteran (an exopolysaccharide of the succinoglycan group) stimulated seed germination and tomato plant emergence. The germination was most stimulated by dipping the seeds in 0.1 % agrobacteran for 30 min whereas plant emergence in garden soil was best with 0.4 % agrobacteran at 10–20°C. Treatment of the plants withA.radiobacter cells and agrobacteran solution at 30–35°C. had a lower effect.A.radiobacter cells applied on seed surface protected the plants against damping off in garden soil artificially inoculated with the fungiRhizoctonia solani andPythium ultimum; in soils contaminated withFusarium solani 0.1 to 0.2% agrobacteran had a higher protective effect than the bacterization. The difference can be attributed to the varying density ofA.radiobacter population in plant rhizosphere in the presence of different plantpathogenic fungi, different interactions of microorganisms in the rhizosphere and different mode of penetration of the pathogens into plant roots.  相似文献

Damping-off of tomato caused by Rhizoctonia solani was controlled in a pot test using the biological agent, Bacillus subtilis RB14-C, and the chemical pesticide, Flutolanil. The co-utilization of B. subtilis RB14-C, and Flutolanil decreased the amount of Flutolanil used from 375 g/pot when Flutolanil was used alone to 94 g/pot, while exerting the same effect of reducing disease occurrence.  相似文献

Eighty‐two isolates of Rhizoctonia solani were recorded from roots of naturally‐infected seedlings of the Egyptian cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.). Anastomosis groups (AGs) of the isolates were determined by using 13 different AGs testers. Three (3.7%) of the isolates were identified as R. solani AG7, while the remaining isolates were belonging to the AG 2‐1, AG4 and AG5. The identification of the three isolates was based on the frequency of the C2 reaction with the AG7 tester isolate. No fusion was observed between AG7 and isolates representing the other 13 AGs. Colonies of AG7 isolates grown on potato dextrose agar (PDA), malt yeast agar (MYA) and melt peptone agar (MPA) were brown to dark brown with aerial mycelium and sclerotia. The isolates had pitted sclerotial clusters and brownish exudates after 21 days of culturing on PDA, but without clear zonation. Pathogenicity test under greenhouse conditions revealed that AG7 caused the common symptoms of damping–off, which included seed rot, lesions on the hypocotyls and root rot.  相似文献

A 3-year study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of two disease-suppressive Streptomyces spp. to control sugar beet Rhizoctonia solani damping off under field conditions. Streptomyces seed treatments reduced seedling damping off in naturally (2005) and artificially (2006 and 2007) infested soils. All biocontrol agents provided better efficacy than Vitavax to control seedling damping-off. There were no significant differences among Streptomyces isolates. Isolate C increased plant stand by 19.5, 50.5 and 53.75% in 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Evaluation of final harvest revealed that the root yield of the biocontrol agents increased compared to untreated control in these years.  相似文献

Potato seed tubers of seven cultivars derived from stem cuttings in 1965 (healthier seed) were grown in 1969–72 at two sites, one clay with flints soil (Rothamsted) and the other sandy loam soil (Woburn). Inoculating sprouted tubers at planting with Polyscytalum pustulans did not affect the number of stems/plant or total yield but increased stem base and tuber infection. The yields of large tubers (57–83 cm) were increased and small tubers (>57 cm) decreased, indicating a decrease in tuber numbers. Rhizoctonia solani inoculated at planting decreased numbers of stems/plant and yield by up to 14% at Woburn but not at Rothamsted. At both sites, yields of large tubers were increased with cvs Majestic and Record and decreased with Pentland Crown. Stem canker and tuber infection were increased but infection was also prevalent on tubers from non-inoculated seed at Woburn. When both pathogens were inoculated together yields of large tubers were increased in cvs King Edward, Majestic and Record and decreased in Pentland Crown. Infection of stem bases and tubers was sometimes less than when either pathogen was inoculated singly.  相似文献

Biochemical analysis was carried out for 10 isolates of Pseudomonas fluorescens. All isolates were found positive for siderophore and indole acetic acid production (except Pf IX) and phosphate solubilisation (except Pf VII). Biochemically efficient strains (Pf I, Pf IV, Pf VII and Pf IX) were selected for management of root rot, collar rot and damping off caused by Phytophthora parasitica, Pythium sp. and Fusarium solani. The activity of defence-related enzymes like esterase, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase was also detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Consistent appearance of esterase isozyme bands was visualised, in the range of 0.193–0.349. The highest Rm value 0.349 was observed on Pf IV. Whereas, for peroxidase, Rm value ranged between 0.302 and 0.373 and for polyphenol oxidase, it was in the range of 0.211–0.800. P. fluorescens Pf IV was found significantly effective to arrest the per cent mycelial growth of P. parasitica (55.20%), Pythium sp. (65.33%) and F. solani (64.67%). Among bioagents, seed treatment and soil drenching with Pf IV at 15 and 30 days after sowing were found effective to reduce per cent disease incidence (30.55%) at 120 days after emergence. Seed treatment with copper oxychloride at 3g/kg seed and metalaxyl at 2 g/kg seed were also found effective.  相似文献

Bacillus subtilis strain 14B was used to produce a novel antimicrobial peptide (bacteriocin) called Bac 14B. Pure bacteriocin was obtained after heat and acidic treatments (80°C and pH 4), precipitation by ammonium sulfate, and chromatography on Sephadex G-50 and Mono Q Sepharose columns. Based on MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analysis, purified Bac 14B is a monomer protein with a molecular mass of 20110.13 Da. N-terminal sequencing allowed for the straightforward identification of its first 12 residues, which were of a pure bacteriocin. It also revealed that this bacteriocin contained a unique sequence, namely M-L-K-A-N-L-Q-N-P-L-N-A, suggesting the identification of a novel compound. Bac 14B was stable for 1 h at temperatures up to 80°C and pH of 4 ∼ 8. It also proved sensitive to various proteases, which demonstrated its protein nature. Bac 14B displayed a bacteriolytical mode of action and a broad range of inhibitory spectra toward Gram-positive and -negative pathogens. Interestingly, based on conventional agronomic seed vigor parameters, the application of Bac 14B (500 activity units/mL) to various crops revealed that this bacteriocin was a potent exogenous enhancer of growth that stimulated the seedling vigor of tomatoes and muskmelons. Compared to those of the control, the germination percentage, shoot weight, shoot height, and root length were all significantly enhanced in Bac 14B-treated plant seeds. Bac 14B also exhibited effective disinfectant properties against a wide range of seedborne diseases and significant effects on the control of damping off diseases, particularly at the pregermination stage. It also proved to be effective against root rot diseases caused by Alternaria solani and other bacterial seedborne pathogens such as wilt diseases. The findings indicate that Bac 14B is the first B. subtilis-produced bacteriocin ever reported to exhibit such promising biological properties.  相似文献

In experiments in three years, seed tubers were inoculated before planting with either Fusarium solani var. coeruleum or F. sulphureum to initiate a rot, or were contaminated by dipping in soil slurries containing spore suspensions of one or other of the pathogens. Transmission to progeny tubers was tested by uniformly wounding and incubating tubers and by dilution plating of soil samples. In two years, transmission of F. sulphureum was greater from highly contaminated than from rotting seed and was greater on cv. Pentland Crown than on cvs Desiree and Maris Piper. F. solani var. coeruleum appeared to be transmitted most readily from rotting seed and Maris Piper was the cultivar most extensively contaminated. In experiments with different harvest dates, transmission of both fungi from highly contaminated seed could be detected by late June or mid-July. More progeny tuber wounds rotted in F. sulphureum than in F. solani var. coeruleum plots and in one year, F. sulphureum caused more rots on cv. Record than on cv. Maris Piper. These differences between the pathogens may be related to their differing abilities to sporulate underground on the surface of seed tubers and on stem bases.  相似文献

The interaction between endophytic biocontrol agent Chaetomium spirale ND35 and the soil‐borne plant pathogen Rhizoctonia solani was studied by light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), as well as further investigated by gold cytochemistry to assess the potential role of cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs) during the mycoparasitic process. Macroscopic observations of fungal growth in dual cultures revealed that pathogen growth inhibition occurred soon after contact with the antagonist, followed by the overgrowth of C. spirale on the colony of R. solani. The coiling of C. spirale around R. solani and intracellular growth of the antagonist in its host occurred frequently. Moreover, in advanced stage of interaction between the antagonist and the pathogen, The growth and development of C. spirale were associated with highly morphological changes of the host fungal cell, characterized by retraction of plasma membrane and cytoplasm disorganization. Further, TEM investigations through localization by gold immunocytochemistry showed that contact between the two fungi was mediated by an amorphous β‐1,3‐glucan‐enriched matrix originating from cell wall of the antagonist C. spirale and sticking to its host surface. At the same time, the hemispherical wall appositions which were intensely labeled by the antibodies of β‐1, 3‐glucan in cell wall of R. solani were induced to form at sites of potential antagonist entry. However, the antagonist was capable of penetrating this barrier, indicating that β‐1,3‐glucanases were produced during the mycoparasitic process. Localization of N‐acetylglucosamine residues (chitin) with the gold‐labelled wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) implicated that chitinases might be involved in the CWD of R. solani in this antagonistic process as well. This report is the first evidence about mechanisms of the interactions between C. spirale and R. solani in ultrastructural and cytochemical aspects.  相似文献

Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) causing anthracnose is a potent pathogen of chilli resulting in significant yield loss. The in vitro root colonisation study showed an increase in root bacterial count by 10 × 105 colony forming units/cm root for Bacillus subtilis after 15 days of germination. Population level of the antagonist was stable in talc till the 180th day (30°C – 1.6 × 108; 4°C – 1.9 × 108) and in lignite till the 150th day (30°C – 1.5 × 108; 4°C – 1.3 × 108). Combined application of B. subtilis and carbendazim enhanced all biometric parameters with reduction in disease incidence. Soil, seed, root dip and foliar spray treatment significantly enhanced the growth parameters of chilli in B. subtilis inoculated treatments in comparison to the untreated control. Seed application resulted in highest plant fresh weight (76.84 g) and dry weight (34.17 g) compared to the untreated control (50 g and 21 g fresh and dry weight, respectively). Highest plant height ranging from 70 cm (soil application) to 77 cm (dip treatment) with Bacillus inoculation was comparable with carbendazim treatment (61 cm with soil application) and 78 cm (dip treatment) and significantly higher than the untreated control (58.2 cm with soil and 61 cm with application, respectively). Dip treatment resulted in significant increase in root length with B. subtilis (33 cm) and carbendazim (32.5 cm) in comparison to untreated control (15 cm). Co-inoculation of pathogen with B. subtilis (singly and with carbendazim) not only reduced the disease incidence but also improved all the biometric parameters in comparison to challenge inoculation. Root dip application was effective in promoting growth while seed application was effective in disease control.  相似文献

Bacteria isolated on nutrient agar and King's medium B from sunflower leaves, crown and roots inhibited in vitro growth of the leaf spot and wilt pathogens Alternaria helianthi, and Sclerotium rolfsii, respectively, and also the root rot pathogensRhizoctonia solani and Macrophomina phaseolina. Antagonistic bacteria from leaves were mainly actinomycetes and pigmented Gram-positive bacteria, while those from roots and crowns were identified asPseudomonas fluorescens-putida, P. maltophilia, P. cepacia, Flavobacterium odoratum andBacillus sp. In soil bioassays, when used as seed inoculum in the presence ofS. rolfsii, P. cepacia strain N24 increased significantly the percentage of seedling emergence. Bacterial strains which exhibited broad spectrum in vitro antagonistic activity were tested for colonisation of sunflower roots, when used as a seed inoculum. Good colonisers (104 to 106 bacteria/g root) were consistent in their ability to reduce disease and fungal wilt. A seedling having a primary root length < 5 cm with fewer lateral roots, necrosed cotyledons or crown and a wilted shoot indicated its diseased status. On an average, only 30% of seedlings were diseased when treated with the antagonistic strains, in the presence of the pathogen, while 60% of the seedlings were diseased in the presence of the pathogen alone. In microplots treated with strain N24, only 1 to 3% of the seedlings were wilted, while 14% of the seedlings were wilted in the presence of the pathogen alone. The results obtained show that bacterial antagonists of sclerotial fungi can be used as seed inocula to improve plant growth through disease suppression  相似文献

Relative effectiveness of seven different application methods of five native bacterial and fungal biocontrol agents (BCAs) and one fungicide (azoxystrobin) was evaluated against Rhizoctonia solani, under pot and field conditions on rice cultivar Pusa Sugandha-5. Plants grown in pots infected with Rsolani suffered a 30%–49% decrease in plant growth and yield of grain. However, treatment with BCAs reduced the adverse effect of the pathogen but significantly varied with the treatment schemes. Amongst the treatments, soil application (SA) at 20 + 40 days after planting (DAP) followed by foliar application (FA) at 60 DAP was recorded as most efficacious, and reduced the severity of disease by 42–68%, resulting in a 21–36% plant growth promotion and yield enhancement. Treatment comprising SA 20 + FA 40 DAP was next in effectiveness but statistically equal to seed priming (SP) + SA 40 DAP of treatment. Amongst the BCAs, Pseudomonas putida was shown to be the most efficient, trailed by Trichoderma harzianum, P. fluorescens, T. viride and Bacillus subtilis. Field trials under naturally infested fields have also validated the effectiveness of Pputida. The SA 20 + 40 + FA 60 DAP with Pputida and Tharzianum were found quite effective and decreased the disease severity and incidence (40–81%), and improved the grain yield (42–72%). Relatively lower ShB control was recorded with SA 20 + FA 60 DAP, however, it was statistically at par with SA 20 DAP treatment and equal to SA 20 + FA 40 DAP.  相似文献

Aims: Plant growth‐promoting Pseudomonas putida strain 267, originally isolated from the rhizosphere of black pepper, produces biosurfactants that cause lysis of zoospores of the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora capsici. The biosurfactants were characterized, the biosynthesis gene(s) partially identified, and their role in control of Phytophthora damping‐off of cucumber evaluated. Methods and Results: The biosurfactants were shown to lyse zoospores of Phy. capsici and inhibit growth of the fungal pathogens Botrytis cinerea and Rhizoctonia solani. In vitro assays further showed that the biosurfactants of strain 267 are essential in swarming motility and biofilm formation. In spite of the zoosporicidal activity, the biosurfactants did not play a significant role in control of Phytophthora damping‐off of cucumber, since both wild type strain 267 and its biosurfactant‐deficient mutant were equally effective, and addition of the biosurfactants did not provide control. Genetic characterization revealed that surfactant biosynthesis in strain 267 is governed by homologues of PsoA and PsoB, two nonribosomal peptide synthetases involved in production of the cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) putisolvin I and II. The structural relatedness of the biosurfactants of strain 267 to putisolvins I and II was supported by LC‐MS and MS‐MS analyses. Conclusions: The biosurfactants produced by Ps. putida 267 were identified as putisolvin‐like CLPs; they are essential in swarming motility and biofilm formation, and have zoosporicidal and antifungal activities. Strain 267 provides excellent biocontrol activity against Phytophthora damping‐off of cucumber, but the lipopeptide surfactants are not involved in disease suppression. Significance and Impact of the Study: Pseudomonas putida 267 suppresses Phy. capsici damping‐off of cucumber and provides a potential supplementary strategy to control this economically important oomycete pathogen. The putisolvin‐like biosurfactants exhibit zoosporicidal and antifungal activities, yet they do not contribute to biocontrol of Phy. capsici and colonization of cucumber roots by Ps. putida 267. These results suggest that Ps. putida 267 employs other, yet uncharacterized, mechanisms to suppress Phy. capsici.  相似文献

Stem canker (Rhizoctonia solani) of maincrop potatoes.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
In two years, potato plants were sampled at 1- or 2- weekly intervals from plots planted with seed tubers bearing sclerotia of Rhizoctonia solani (black scurf) and with seed without sclerotia either infested or not with cultures of R. solani at planting. Sprouted King Edward seed was used in 1981 and sprouted and non-sprouted King Edward and Pentland Crown seed in 1982. In both years 60–80% of shoots from seed with sclerotia and 90% of shoots from seed inoculated at planting were affected with stem canker. Most disease developed before shoots emerged although it gradually increased later when new shoots arising both from seed tubers or as branches on shoots with damaged apices (pruned shoots) became infected before they emerged. Sprouting seed tubers bearing sclerotia decreased the disease on both cultivars but with soil-applied inoculum the disease was more severe on plants from sprouted than non-sprouted seed. Some stolons were infected by R. solani soon after they developed and incidence of infection later increased. Thirty to 50% of stolons were infected on plants from infected seed tubers and 60% on plants with soil-applied inoculum. With both cultivars and sources of inoculum about 70% of the infected stolons had their apices killed (pruned).  相似文献
