The rice sheath blight pathogen, Rhizoctonia solani, produces a toxin designated as RS-toxin, a carbohydrate compound containing mainly alpha-glucose and mannose. Different microflora were tested for RS-toxin inactivation. Isolates of Trichoderma viride inactivated this toxin when it was provided as the sole food source, and these isolates reduced the severity of toxin-induced symptoms and electrolyte leakage from rice cells. The best-performing isolate, TvMNT7, produced two extracellular proteins of 110 and 17 kDa. The high molecular mass protein was shown to have alpha-glucosidase activity. The purified 110 kDa protein was able to reduce RS-toxin activity. 相似文献

The antifungal properties and mechanism of three types of chitosan against the rice sheath blight pathogen, Rhizoctonia solani, were evaluated. Each chitosan had strong antifungal activity against R. solani and protected rice seedlings from sheath blight, in particular, two types of acid-soluble chitosan caused a 60–91?% inhibition in mycelial growth, 31–84?% inhibition of disease incidence, and 66–91?% inhibition in lesion length. The mechanism of chitosan in protection of rice from R. solani pathogen was attributed to direct destruction of the mycelium, evidenced by scanning and transmission electron microscopic observations and pathogenicity testing; indirect induced resistance was evidenced by the changes in the activities of the defense-related phenylalanine ammonia lyase, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase in rice seedling. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the antifungal activity of chitosan against rice R. solani. 相似文献

Rhizoctonia solani has a wide host range, including almost all cultivated crops and its subgroup anastomosis group (AG)-1 IA causes sheath blight in rice. An accurate measurement of pathogen’s biomass is a convincing tool for enumeration of this disease. Mycological characteristics and molecular diagnosis simultaneously supported that all six strains in this study were R. solani AG-1 IA. Heterokaryons between strains Rs40104, Rs40105, and Rs45811 were stable and viable, whereas Rs40103 and Rs40106 did not form viable fused cells, except for the combination of Rs40106 and Rs40104. A primer pair was highly specific to RsAROM gene of R. solani strains and the amplified fragment exists as double copies within fungal genome. The relationship between crossing point (CP) values and the amount of fungal DNA was reliable (R 2 >0.99). Based on these results, we determined R. solani’s proliferation within infected stems through real time PCR using a primer pair and a Taqman probe specific to the RsAROM gene. The amount of fungal DNA within the 250 ng of tissue DNA from rice cv. Dongjin infected with Rs40104, Rs40105, and Rs45811 were 7.436, 5.830, and 5.085 ng, respectively. In contrast, the fungal DNAs within the stems inoculated with Rs40103 and Rs40106 were 0.091 and 0.842 ng. The sheath blight symptom progression approximately coincided with the amount of fungal DNA within the symptoms. In summary, our quantitative evaluation method provided reliable and objective results reflecting the amount of fungal biomass within the infected tissues and would be useful for evaluation of resistance germplasm or fungicides and estimation of inoculum potential. 相似文献

Thirty-five strains ofTrichoderma viride andT. harzianum were screened for their antagonistic ability against the rice sheath blight pathogen,Rhizoctonia solani. The strains that inhibited/overgrew the phytopathogenic fungus were considered effective. Light microscopic studies showed
the antagonism of the hyphae of effectiveTrichoderma strains towards their host hyphae. Chitinase activity ofTrichoderma culture filtrates was enhanced, when colloidal chitin was used as the sole carbon source, instead of glucose. Chitinase pattern
differed among the four select strains. The chitinase isoforms are induced differentially by carbon sources. The chitin affinity
column fraction ofTrichoderma culture filtrate inhibited,in vitro, the growth ofR. solani. 相似文献

Rice sheath blight, caused by the soilborne fungus Rhizoctonia solani, causes severe yield losses worldwide. Elucidation of the pathogenic mechanism of R. solani is highly desired. However, the lack of a stable genetic transformation system has made it challenging to examine genes' functions in this fungus. Here, we present functional validation of pathogenicity genes in the rice sheath blight pathogen R. solani by a newly established tobacco rattle virus (TRV)–host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) system using the virulent R. solani AG-1 IA strain GD-118. RNA interference constructs of 33 candidate pathogenicity genes were infiltrated into Nicotiana benthamiana leaves with the TRV-HIGS system. Of these constructs, 29 resulted in a significant reduction in necrosis caused by GD-118 infection. For further validation of one of the positive genes, trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (Rstps2), stable rice transformants harbouring the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) construct for Rstps2 were created. The transformants exhibited reduced gene expression of Rstps2, virulence, and trehalose accumulation in GD-118. We showed that the dsRNA for Rstps2 was taken up by GD-118 mycelia and sclerotial differentiation of GD-118 was inhibited. These findings offer gene identification opportunities for the rice sheath blight pathogen and a theoretical basis for controlling this disease by spray-induced gene silencing. 相似文献

Fourteen strains of Pseudomonas fluorescens isolated from rhizosphere soil of rice were tested for their antagonistic effect towards Rhizoctonia solani, the rice sheath blight fungus. Among them, PfMDU2 was the most effective in inhibiting mycelial growth of R. solani in vitro. Production of chitinase, beta-1,3-glucanase, siderophores, salicylic acid (SA) and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) by P. fluorescens strains was evaluated. The highest beta-1,3-glucanase activity, siderophore production, SA production and HCN production were recorded with PfMDU2. A significant relationship between the antagonistic potential of P. fluorescens against R. solani and its level of beta-1,3-glucanase, SA and HCN was observed. 相似文献

The leaf extracts of Datura metel [both aqueous leaf extract (ALE) and ethanolic leaf extract (ELE)] were observed here to find if they can induce systemic resistance in the rice commonly found in Eastern India. The results showed that after the treatment, the enzyme activities of all the defence-related enzymes increased to a certain level even without pathogenic infection in comparison with non-treated seedlings and then, maintain at constant level throughout the study period. When treated seedlings were infected with Rhizoctonia solani, the enzyme activities were increased more than in uninfected seedlings. The elevated enzyme activities gave the indication of an induced systemic resistance in rice. The ELE of D. metel showed better induction effect than ALE. 相似文献

Frequent assessment of pathogen diversity is one of the most important criteria in designing disease management programmes. A study on diversity of field isolates of Rhizoctonia solani from sheath blight-infected rice fields of south India has been carried out. A total of 236 R. solani isolates were obtained from 45 locations in the surveyed area. Sclerotial features such as colour, size and shape and distribution pattern were varying among isolates. However, no other morphological features found to differ among isolates. Majority of the R. solani isolates were fast growers as they attained complete mycelial growth within 2 days in a 90-mm Petri plate and the emergence of sclerotial structures was seen even in 4 days of incubation. Selected 10 R. solani isolates exhibited considerable variations in pathogenicity on three different rice cultivars. Vellai ponni was found to be the most susceptible rice cultivar to all the field isolates of R. solani. 相似文献

Plants accumulate a great diversity of natural products, many of which confer protective effects against phytopathogenic attack. Earlier we had demonstrated that the leaf extracts of Zizyphus jujuba and Ipomoea carnea inhibit the in vitro mycelial growth of Rhizoctonia solani, and effectively reduce the incidence of sheath blight disease in rice.7 Here we demonstrate that foliar application of the aqueous leaf extracts of Z. jujuba and I. carnea followed by challenge inoculation with R. solani induces systemic resistance in rice as evident from significantly increased accumulation of pathogenesis-related proteins such as chitinase, β-1,3-glucanase and peroxidase, as well as defense-related compounds such as phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and phenolic substances. Thin layer chromatographic separation of secondary metabolites revealed presence of alkaloid and terpenoid compounds in the leaf extracts of Z. jujuba that exhibited toxicity against R. solani under in vitro condition. Thus, the enhanced sheath blight resistance in rice seedlings treated with leaf extracts of Z. jujuba or I. carnea can be attributed to the direct inhibitory effects of these leaf extracts as well as their ability to elicit systemic resistance against R. solani.Key words: sheath blight, Zizyphus jujuba, Ipomoea carnea, Rhizoctonia solani, induced systemic resistance, antimicrobial compoundsSheath blight disease of rice, caused by Rhizoctonia solani, has become a major production constraint in intensive rice cropping systems where semi-dwarf, nitrogen-responsive and high-yielding rice cultivars are grown. The disease causes an annual yield loss of upto 50%.1 R. solani is both soil- and water-borne, and can infect more than 27 families of both monocot and dicot species.2 Natural host genetic resistance to R. solani has not been recorded in cultivars or wild relatives of rice.3 Several broad spectrum fungicides have been recommended for control of sheath blight, however, chemical method of disease management is neither practical due to high cost of fungicides nor sustainable as it can affect the balance of ecosystem by destroying beneficial microbial population. In addition, the environmental pollution problems associated with indiscriminate use of synthetic pesticides have prompted investigations on exploiting bio-pesticides of plant and microbial origin.Plants accumulate an enormous variety of over 100,000 secondary metabolites,4 which can act as pre-existing chemical inhibitors to invading pathogens and/or help strengthen defense response of host plant. The pre-formed infectional barriers in plants are generally referred to as “phytoanticipins;” whereas, the antimicrobial compounds that are synthesized de novo in response to pathogen attack are referred to as “phytoalexins.”5 Because of years of selective breeding leading to removal of natural products, the endogenous levels of phytoanticipins in commonly cultivated crop species are generally low and often not sufficient to fight pathogen attack, effectively.4 Various weed species and wild relatives of crop plants that are not subjected to selective breeding are believed to contain higher levels of antimicrobial compounds, consistent with their ability to fight invading pathogens more effectively than cultivated crop species. Identification of such weed/plant species that are enriched with antimicrobial principles, isolation of bio-active compounds from them, and application in the form of concentrated formulations to crop plants can augment their disease resistance capability by directly inhibiting the growth of pathogen and inducing defense responses. Indeed, the antimicrobial properties of tissue extracts of several weed/plant species have been reported by a number of research groups world-wide, especially in Asia and Latin America.6–13Earlier, we had evaluated the antimicrobial activity of leaf extracts of 16 different plant species belonging to 16 different families and demonstrated that leaf extracts of most of these plant species exhibit growth-inhibitory activities against R. solani and Xanathomoas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo).7 Among these, the leaf extracts of Datura metel were found to be the most effective in inhibiting the mycelial growth and sclerotia formation of R. solani, and the growth of Xoo, as well as in reducing the incidence of sheath blight and bacterial blight diseases caused by these pathogens, respectively, under greenhouse condition.7 We further demonstrated that rice seedlings treated with leaf extracts of D. metel accumulated significantly higher levels of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins and other defense related compounds following challenge inoculation with R. solani or Xoo.7 Our attempts to identify biologically active compounds from D. metel revealed the presence of a withanolide compound “daturilin” that exhibited remarkable antibacterial activity against Xoo.7Apart from D. metel, two other plants species, Zizyphus jujuba and Ipomoea carnea, were found to possess remarkable antifungal activity against R. solani.7 Z. jujuba is a thorny rhamnaceous plant that is widely distributed in Europe and South-eastern Asia. I. carnea of convolvulaceae family, commonly known as morning glory, is a toxic weed found in abundance in India, Brazil, the United States and other countries.14 Both of these plant species have allelopathic effect and are commonly used in folklore medicine for curing multiple diseases.15–18 The aqueous and methanol leaf extracts of Z. jujuba and I. carnea have been found to be highly effective in reducing in vitro mycelial growth, and therefore, sclerotia production of R. solani.7 In the greenhouse experiments, rice seedlings sprayed with leaf extracts of Z. jujuba and I. carnea exhibited 44 and 34% reduction in severity of sheath blight disease over the control, respectively.7 While these findings are encouraging, the mechanisms by which the leaf extracts of Z. jujuba and I. carnea modulate defense responses in rice have not yet been explored.Plants are endowed with defense genes which remain quiescent or are expressed at basal levels in healthy plants. Activation of defense genes results in induction of systemic resistance in host plant; this defense response, designated as induced systemic resistance (ISR), plays an important role in development of disease resistance.19 The onset of ISR in plants correlates with accumulation of phytoalexins and increased activity of PR proteins such as chitinases, β-1,3-glucanases and peroxidases;20–23 consequently, PR proteins are generally used as ISR markers.19 The classical inducers of ISR include both biotic and abiotic factors, including disease causing microorganisms themselves,24,25 plant growth promoting rhizobacteria,22,26 chemicals27,28 and natural plant products.7,10,12,13,29,30 Plant products have been considered as one of the major groups of compounds that induce ISR. To date, extracts of at least a few plant species have been reported to contain allelopathic substances which can act as elicitors and induce systemic resistance in host plants resulting in reduction or inhibition of disease development.7,10,12,13In the present study, with the objective of understanding the mechanisms of disease suppression by leaf extracts of Z. jujuba and I. carnea, we investigated their ability to induce ISR in rice by analyzing the activities of ISR markers including PR-proteins and other defense enzymes involved in phenylpropanoid metabolism. The changes in activities of chitinase, β-1,3-glucanase, peroxidase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and phenolic compounds induced in rice seedlings that were elicited with leaf extracts (at 1:10 dilution; w/v) of Z. jujuba or I. carnea and infected with R. solani were analyzed, and compared to changes in non-elicited and uninfected seedlings. Rice seedlings that were both elicited with leaf extracts of Z. jujuba or I. carnea and infected with R. solani accumulated significantly higher levels (2–5-fold) of ISR markers as compared to non-elicited and/or uninfected seedlings (Fig. 1). About two-fold increase in activities of ISR markers was also observed in seedlings that were either infected but not elicited or elicited but not infected; however, this increase was significantly lower than the changes in seedlings that were both elicited and infected (Fig. 1). Although the activity of all ISR markers began to increase around or after 24 h post-infection, at least two distinct induction patterns were observed. For instance, the activities of chitinase and phenolic substances gradually increased to reach maximum levels at 164 h post-infection (Fig. 1A and E); whereas, the activities of β-1,3-glucanase, peroxidase and PAL reached maximum levels at 72 to 96 h post-infection and decreased thereafter (Fig. 1B–D). The leaf extracts of Z. jujuba were found slightly more effective in inducing ISR markers than the leaf extracts of I. carnea. There was no significant change in the activity of ISR markers in control seedlings sprayed with sterile distilled water (Fig. 1). Collectively, these results suggested that the leaf extracts of Z. jujuba and I. carnea have the ability to induce systemic resistance in rice seedlings infected with R. solani. The fungitoxicity of the leaf extracts of Z. jujuba and I. carnea 7 combined with their ability to elicit ISR is possibly responsible for low sheath blight disease incidence observed in rice seedlings treated with these leaf extracts.7Open in a separate windowFigure 1Activity of ISR markers and defense-related compounds in rice seedlings elicited with the leaf extracts of Zizyphus jujuba or Ipomoea carnea and challenge inoculated with Rhizoctonia solani. Total activity of chitinase (A), β-1,3-glucanase (B), peroxidase (C) phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL; D) and phenolic substances (E) was analyzed in rice seedlings. The inoculation of rice seedlings with R. solani was performed 45 days after planting. Spraying of leaf extracts (1:10 dilution; w/v) of Z. jujuba or I. carnea was performed two days prior to inoculation. Tissue samples (sheath) from elicited and/or infected seedlings were collected for analysis at various time intervals.The in vitro antimicrobial and in vivo disease inhibitory effects of natural plant products are generally attributed to the allelopathic substances present in them. However, very few attempts have been made to purify and characterize active principles from bio-active natural plant products. We have previously identified a withanolide compound from leaf extracts of D. metel which exhibited antibacterial activity against Xoo.7 Both Z. jujuba and I. carnea are rich source of secondary metabolites including alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids and phenolic compounds.31–35 To determine the composition of bio-active ingredients within the leaf extracts of Z. jujuba and I. carnea, we performed thin layer chromatographic separation of alkaloid, terpenoid and phenolic compounds.
