Biochemical defence responses of resistant and susceptible rice genotypes against blast pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae

Abstract

Rice blast is the leading fungal disease which is caused by Magnaporthe oryzae that contributes for the significant decline in the rice yield throughout the globe. There is a need for the understanding of biochemical changes in rice plant during blast infection for the development of novel disease control strategies. In the present study, we isolated M. oryzae from the local paddy fields and the fungal isolates (VCF and PON) were identified by ITS-PCR using genomic DNA samples. Further, we inoculated resistant (BR2655 and TUNGA) and susceptible (INTAN and HR12) rice cultivars with PON and VCF isolates. PON isolate showed relatively high virulence compared to VCF and standard MTCC fungal strains. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of PON on the total protein content and plant defence-related key enzymes (peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase, β-glucosidase, chitinase and lipoxygenase) activities between 24- and 120-hour post-inoculation (hpi). The results demonstrated the decrease in total protein content in all the inoculated cultivars. In addition, we observed the variation in the activity of peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, β-glucosidase, chitinase and lipoxygenase at different time points in all the tested rice plants compared to respective controls. However, no significant difference was observed in the phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity relative to its control. Taken together, this study emphasizes on the variation in the activities of plant defence enzymes in different plant cultivars against the tested fungal pathogen and also implementation of defence enzymes as biochemical markers for resistant breeding.     

Molecular and pathogenic characterization of new Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae strains from the coastline region of Fangchenggang city in China

Virulence assays and DNA polymorphism analyses were used to characterize 33 Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) strains collected from the coastline region of Fangchenggang city in China. Two new pathogenic races (FXP1 and FXP2), were determined by leaf-clipping inoculation of 12 near-isogenic International Rice-Bacterial Blight (IRBB) rice lines, each containing a single resistance gene. Race FXP1 consisted of twenty-eight strains that were incompatible on IRBB5 and IRBB7, while race FXP2 included five strains that were incompatible on IRBB5 and IRBB7 and moderately virulent on IRBB8 containing the xa8 gene. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis revealed that each probe of avrXa10 and IS1112 resolved two haplotypes. In a dendrogram generated from the combined RFLP data, the 33 Xoo strains were resolved into two clusters. There was a weak correlation (r = 0.53) between race and haplotype. All of the rice cultivars planted in the coastline region of Fangchenggang city were susceptible to the representative Xoo strains tested above. However, we found that four rice cultivars used as breeding materials in the laboratory could fully resist infection by the Xoo strains, suggesting that the isolated Xoo strains could be used to detect resistant rice cultivars suitable for planting in the local rice field.     

Pathogenicity and symptom expressions of Rhizoctonia solani,R. oryzae and R. oryzae-sativae to some commercial cultivars of rice in Myanmar

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.     

Virulence Analysis and Race Classification of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae in China

Two hundred and eighty‐five isolates of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae were randomly collected from 22 rice‐growing provinces in China. Ninety‐one representative isolates were chosen to assess the differential characteristics of 24 near‐isogenic rice lines containing a single resistance gene or two to four genes. Most isolates were avirulent on pyramided lines, except IRBB51, and hence, the pyramided lines cannot be used as differentials for the virulence analysis of X. oryzae pv. oryzae in China. The 13 rice lines with a single gene were used further to establish a system of races classification of X. oryzae pv. oryzae in China. IR24 and IRBB10 were susceptible to the isolates with several exceptions, whereas IRBB5, IRBB7 and IRBB21 were resistant. Based on the interactions between the isolates of X. oryzae pv. oryzae and the 13 near‐isogenic rice lines, six single‐gene rice cultivars (IRBB5, IRBB13, IRBB3, IRBB14, IRBB2 and IR24) were chosen as differentials, and the 285 tested isolates were classified into nine races. The reaction patterns of the nine races in order were: RRRRRR, RRRRRS, RRRRSS, RRRSSS, RRSSSS, RSRRRS, RSSRRS, RSSSSS and SSSSSS. The race frequencies were 10.18%, 10.53%, 4.91%, 10.18%, 24.21%, 5.96%, 11.23%, 22.46% and 0.35% respectively. The virulence of representative strains of eight Philippine races on 13 rice lines with a single gene was determined and compared with the Chinese races. The frequency distributions of X. oryzae pv. oryzae races were primarily described for the different regions in China.     

Status of Streptomycin Resistance Development in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola in China and their Resistance Characters

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.     

Analysis of the Relationship between Blast Resistance Genes and Disease Resistance of Rice Germplasm via Functional Molecular Markers

Rice blast disease is one of the most devastating diseases of rice (Oryza sativa L.) caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae (M. oryzae), and neck blast is the most destructive phase of this illness. The underlying molecular mechanisms of rice blast resistance are not well known. Thus, we collected 150 rice varieties from different ecotypes in China and assessed the rice blast resistances under the natural conditions that favoured disease development in Jining, Shandong Province, China in 2017. Results showed that 92 (61.3%) and 58 (38.7%) rice varieties were resistant and susceptible to M. oryzae, respectively. Among the 150 rice varieties screened for the presence of 13 major blast resistance (R) genes against M. oryzae by using functional markers, 147 contained one to eight R genes. The relationship between R genes and disease response was discussed by analysing the phenotype and genotype of functional markers. The results showed that the rice blast resistance gene Pita was significantly correlated with rice blast resistance. Our results provided a basis for the further understanding of the distribution of 13 major R genes of rice blast in the germplasm resources of the tested rice varieties, and were meaningful for rice disease resistance breeding.     

Evaluation of Rice Cultivars under Greenhouse Conditions for Adult-Plant Resistance to Pyricularia oryzae

Six rice cultivars showing various types of resistance or susceptibility to Pyricularia oryzae in the field were compared under controlled environmental conditions. The resistance of the cultivars with adult-plant resistance was race-specificat early growth stage. On all cultivars tested, blast infection became increasingly reduced on either leaves of adult plants or older leaves, as observed in rice plants of different leaf stages infected with different individual races. Their increase inhost resistance was marked by an apparent transition in infection type and reduced blast severity depending on leaf age and developmental stage of plants. The ranking of disease severity of the adult-plantresistant cultivars to different races was constant during plant development, whereas that of the susceptible cultivars was differential. It is suggested that different degrees of resistance in rice cultivars may exist in seedlings and be consistently maintained during plant development, probably becoming more distinct as rice plants mature.     

A Simple and Accurate Resistance Identification Method of Rice to Neck Blast Disease In Vitro

Twelve rice cultivars with differential resistance to rice blast disease (Magnaporthe oryzae (Hebert) Barr), including Tetep (R), IR36 (MR) and Lijiangxituanhegu (HS), and nine locally planted rice cultivars in Jiangxi helped establish an identification method for rice resistance to neck blast. We describe a new technique of dropping a spore suspension on the panicle segment in vitro (DSSPS). This technique involved rice panicles that were initially 0.5–2 cm in length and then cut into a 7‐ to 8‐cm segment (i.e. an upper node of 1 cm and a lower node of 6–7 cm). The segment was placed into a Petri dish with a stack of sterile water saturated filter paper. The suspension (4 μl 1 × 10⁵spores/ml) was placed at each of three locations on the segment (with an approximate interval of 3 cm). Disease severity was then assessed according to a 0–9 scale after incubating for 9 days with a 12 h/12 h (light/day cycle) at 28°C. Choosing a suitable developmental stage of the rice panicle and blast strains was a key to evaluate resistance accurately. DSSPS is a simple and accurate method of identifying rice resistance to neck blast as compared to injecting the spore suspension into the rice panicle in vivo and resistance identification in natural nurseries. It is stressed that at least 20 single‐spore strains are needed to accurately assess rice resistance to neck blast. We tested 1005 rice cultivars for neck blast resistance in Jiangxi province during 2010–2015, which showed an accuracy of 85.77% by DSSPS as compared with natural nursery data.     

Biological control of rice bacterial blight by Lysobacter antibioticus strain 13-1

Bacterial leaf blight (BB) is a worldwide destructive rice disease caused by pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). A novel strain of Lysobacter antibioticus, which was isolated from the rhizosphere of rice in Yunnan Province of China, can significantly inhibit the growth of various phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi, especially BB pathogen Xoo. In greenhouse experiments, whole bacterial broth culture (WBC) of strain 13-1 was more effective in reducing BB than other components of the culture, with disease suppression efficiency up to 69.7%. However, bacterial cells re-suspended in water, cell-free culture extracts, and heated cultures also significantly reduced BB severity. Suppression efficiencies ranged from 79.0% to 61.8% for undiluted to 100-fold dilution treatments and from 57.6% to 31.7% when the WBC of strain 13-1 (10⁸ CFU/mL) was applied at 3 days and 7 days prior to pathogen inoculation, respectively. In three field trials, strain 13-1 reduced BB incidence by 73.5%, 78.3%, and 59.1%, respectively. Disease suppression by strain 13-1 varied significantly among different rice cultivars, although efficacy was not directly related to the susceptibility level of the cultivars. Efficacy of biocontrol was also affected by different pathogen isolates, with some isolates of Xoo being more sensitive to 13-1 suppression than others. These results suggest that antibiotics and density of colonization on leaves may be involved for biological control of rice BB by strain 13-1. To our knowledge, this is the first report of L. antibioticus being a potential biocontrol agent for rice bacterial blight.
