Rhizoctonia solani, a devastating soil borne fungus inciting banded leaf and sheath blight (BLSB) disease is a constraint in maize production and improvement program. Rhizoctonia isolates collected from seven diverse maize cropping zones of India were examined for morphological and molecular variability. All the tested isolates caused symptoms of BLSB on maize and were also cross infective on rice and sugarcane hosts, but showed significant variability in hyphal diameter, mean hyphal cell size, weight, size and distribution of scleorotia, culture pigmentation, incubation period, pathogenicity and expression of symptoms. Neighbour joining cluster analysis placed the 62 isolates of R. solani into four major groups, A, B, C and D. Group A was more diverse and included isolates of diverse agro-ecological zones. The cluster analysis corresponded well with principle component analysis. Pathogenicity testing of R. solani isolates on maize genotype (CM 501) revealed highly variable virulence pattern of the pathogen population suggesting its high evolutionary potential, and hence adaptability to diverse geographical regions. The study reveals a strong evidence of inherent potential of the R. solani isolates to survive in diverse ecological zones and its probable spread to other maize cultivars across India. Sequence comparisons of the internal transcribed sequence-ribosomal DNA region of 62 isolates did not reveal much diversity among the isolates. Majority of the isolates (n?=?61) clustered together with anastomosis group (AG) AG1-IA used as reference strain in the phylogram, distinct from AG1-IB, AG2–2IIIB and Waitea circinata used as reference strains. BLSB isolates representing distinct geographical locations shared identical sequences indicating long-distance dispersal of the pathogen. The study confirms that the genetic flexibility of the pathogen allows for its adaptation to variable ecological niches and long-distance introduction of new genotypes into the region. The study emphasizes that epidemiological studies may complement the molecular studies.  相似文献

Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA causes leaf blight on soybean and rice. Despite the fact that R. solani AG-1 IA is a major pathogen affecting soybean and rice in Brazil and elsewhere in the world, little information is available on its genetic diversity and evolution. This study was an attempt to reveal the origin, and the patterns of movement and amplification of epidemiologically significant genotypes of R. solani AG-1 IA from soybean and rice in Brazil. For inferring intraspecific evolution of R. solani AG-1 IA sampled from soybean and rice, networks of ITS-5.8S rDNA sequencing haplotypes were built using the statistical parsimony algorithm from Clement et al. (2000) Molecular Ecology 9: 1657–1660. Higher haplotype diversity (Nei M 1987, Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Columbia University Press, New york: 512p.) was observed for the Brazilian soybean sample of R. solani AG-1 IA (0.827) in comparison with the rest of the world sample (0.431). Within the south-central American clade (3-2), four haplotypes of R. solani AG-1 IA from Mato Grosso, one from Tocantins, one from Maranhão, and one from Cuba occupied the tips of the network, indicating recent origin. The putative ancestral haplotypes had probably originated either from Mato Grosso or Maranhão States. While 16 distinct haplotypes were found in a sample of 32 soybean isolates of the pathogen, the entire rice sample (n=20) was represented by a single haplotype (haplotype 5), with a worldwide distribution. The results from nested-cladistic analysis indicated restricted gene flow with isolation by distance (or restricted dispersal by distance in nonsexual species) for the south-central American clade (3-2), mainly composed by soybean haplotypes.  相似文献

The Rhizoctonia solani species consists of multinucleate isolates that belong to anastomosis groups AG1–AG3 and differ in virulence and host affinity. R. cerealis is a binucleate species of anastomosis group AG-D which causes sharp eyespot, a common plant disease in Poland. Rhizoctonia spp. is a ubiquitous soil pathogen that poses a significant threat for global crop production due to the absence of effective crop protection products. The aim of this study was to determine the virulence of R. solani and R. cerealis isolates towards Beta vulgaris, Zea mays, Triticum spelta and T. aestivum seedlings, to confirm the presence of endopolygalacturonase genes pg1 and pg5 in the genomes of the tested isolates and to evaluate the tested isolates’ sensitivity to triazole, strobilurin, imidazole and carboxamide fungicides. All tested isolates infected B. vulgaris seedlings. but none of them were virulent against Z. mays plants. R. solani isolates AG4 PL and AG2-2IIIB PL were characterized by the highest virulence (average infestation score of 2.37 and 2.53 points on a scale of 0–3 points) against sugar beet seedlings. The prevalence of infections caused by most of the analysed isolates (in particular R. solani AG4 J—11.8, and R. cerealis RC2—0.78) was higher in spelt than in bread wheat. The virulence of the analysed isolates was not correlated with the presence of pg1 and pg5 genes. The efficacy of the tested fungicides in controlling Rhizoctonia spp. infections was estimated at 100% (propiconazole + cyproconazole), 98.8% (penthiopyrad), 95.4% (tebuconazole) and 78.3% (azoxystrobin).  相似文献

Shot hole disease of stone fruits caused by Thyrostroma carpophilum has become a major threat to stone fruit industry of Jammu and Kashmir, India because of the failure in its management with fungicides. To understand the diversity in shot hole pathogen, a combination of conventional (morphological, cultural and pathological) and molecular (ISSR and ITS markers) approaches were employed to discern variability in 25 isolates of T. carpophilum isolated from peach, plum, apricot, almond and cherry leaves collected from Srinagar, Ganderbal, and Baramulla districts of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The studies revealed a high level of variability among the pathogen. Based on the morpho-cultural and pathological studies, the isolates were grouped into different categories based on colony growth, texture, margin and colour besides change in media colour, incubation period, leaf area infected, etc. Using ISSR markers, a high level of polymorphism in different isolates of T. carpophilum was observed which indicated that these markers are suitable for studying the genetic diversity in this pathogen. Based on dendrogram, the isolates were grouped irrespective of their geographical origin or host species. Phylogenetic analysis of the 25 sequences based on ITS region showed maximum similarity with T. carpophilum (Syn. Wilsonomyces carpophilus) sequences retrieved from NCBI and grouped them in a single clade which proved it as a powerful tool for authentic identification. The pathogen was highly variable based on morpho-cultural, pathological and molecular (ISSR) characterisation.  相似文献

Blight on leaves, stems and bulbs of lilies grown in a greenhouse were found in Hokkaido, Japan, in 2012. Two isolates obtained from the lesions were identified as Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group (AG)-11 based on morphology and molecular analysis. Original symptoms were reproduced after artificial inoculation with the isolates. Except for R. solani AG-2-1 and AG-4 HG-I, none of the AGs have been reported as pathogens causing lily Rhizoctonia disease in Japan; therefore, we propose adding AG-11 as a pathogen of the disease. More importantly, we report the first appearance of crop disease caused by AG-11 in Japan.  相似文献

Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum spp. is one of main strawberry diseases worldwide. The disease recently arrived in Iran and become epidemic in the Kurdistan province. A combination of morphological, molecular and pathogen-host interaction approaches (referred to the consolidated species concept) were applied to isolates from symptomatic strawberry tissues collected in Iran. Multi-gene phylogenetic analysis based on ITS-rDNA, beta-tubulin (TUB2) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) identified the species as the S5 clade of Colletotrichum nymphaeae. No significant intraspecies variation was observed in terms of morphology and pathogenicity. No significant genetic variation was observed among the isolates using inter simple sequence repeat analysis (ISSR) and primer pair combination of ERIC1/BOX and ERIC2/BOX fingerprinting markers. Based on the results of this study, it can be postulated that the C. nymphaeae population in Iran established itself from a single origin due to a founder effect. More generally, molecular dating based on relaxed clocks indicates co-radiation of C. nymphaeae S5 and strawberry plants and suggests high reciprocal specificity between the host and pathogen.  相似文献

Aureobasidium isolated from Vitis vinifera (cv Chardonnay) grapevine tissues were characterised using morphological and molecular techniques. Species level identification of 29 isolates was accomplished by partial amplification and sequencing of the ITS region (ITS1–5.8S–ITS2) using universal primers ITS1 and ITS4. A comparison of nucleotide sequences using BLAST followed by phylogenetic analysis revealed that all isolates examined were Aureobasidium pullulans. Strain level discrimination of a total of 100 epiphytic Aureobasidium isolates including three reference strains was successfully carried out using two inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers, (AAC)5 and (GTG)5 and the Intron Splice Junction R1 (ISJ-R1) primer in which 24, 24 and 15 scorable bands were produced for each primer, respectively. The high level of genetic variation recorded among the isolates further highlighted the high levels of strain diversity among A. pullulans residing on grapevines. Thirty-two epiphytic Aureobasidium isolates were examined for their ability to inhibit the growth of Greeneria uvicola, responsible for bitter rot of grapes. Using an in-vitro dual-culture antagonism assay, all isolates inhibited the growth of G. uvicola (Isolates DAR 77272 and DAR 77273) with inhibition ranging from 15 to 85%. Three Aureobasidium isolates were then examined for their ability to inhibit G. uvicola when co-inoculated onto detached berries, leaves and grape bunches growing on potted vines in a glass house. All isolates reduced the severity of bitter rot infection. The results indicate that A. pullulans has the potential to suppress bitter rot of grapes.  相似文献

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae (Fomg), causal agent of Fusarium wilt of eggplant, is a serious pathogen in open fields and greenhouses. Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) banding profiles, sequence analyses of inter-transcribed-spacer (ITS), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF-1α), and actin (actA) DNA regions were employed in this study to determine genetic diversity and population structure of Fomg isolates obtained from Turkey. For ISSR study, (ACTG)5, (GACAC)3, (GACA)4, (GATA)4, HVH(TG)7 and (CA)8RG primers were selected from a set of 16. Discriminative ability of the primers revealed with various indices including polymorphic information content (PIC), and mean PIC value was calculated as 0.26. The ISSR data revealed 31 loci belonging to 202 Fomg isolates and 14 of them were found to be polymorphic. The isolates on neighbor joining ISSR tree were grouped into two major clusters which separated Fomg and outgroup isolates. Population structure was investigated based on bayesian modeling and results indicated five subpopulations (K = 5, ?K = 205.42). Mean genetic and geographical distances among sampling locations revealed only a weak and insignificant correlation (r = 0.583, P = 0.06). Phylogenetic analyses were carried out with ITS, TEF-1α and actA DNA regions with a selected subset of 30 Fomg, along with one non-host and one outgroup isolates. Since ITS region were not able to provide a meaningful separation, TEF-1α and actA sequences of each organism were concatenated individually to build a dendrogram. The clustering tree successfully separated the Fomg, non-host and outgroup isolates in which all Fomg were located on the same branch, forming a monophyletic group in the dendrogram.  相似文献

Aphanomyces euteiches Drechsler is an oomycete pathogen of leguminous crops that causes root rot, a severe disease of pea (Pisum sativum L.) worldwide. An improved understanding of the genetic structure of A. euteiches populations would increase knowledge of pathogen evolution and assist in the design of strategies to develop pea cultivars and germplasm with stable disease resistance. Twenty six primers pairs were used to amplify Sequence Related Amplified Polymorphisms (SRAP) among 49 A. euteiches isolates sampled from pea. A total of 190 polymorphic SRAP bands were generated, of which 82 were polymorphic between all the A. euteiches isolates. The percentage of polymorphic bands per primer pair ranged from 22 to 75%. According to the PIC value estimated for each marker, 60% of the SRAP markers were highly to reasonably informative (PIC > 0.25). Genetic structure of A. euteiches populations sampled in different American and French locations showed low to high genetic diversity within populations. The largest variation occurred within countries, with a total estimated genetic diversity of 0.477 and 0.172 for American and French populations, respectively. This was particularly evident from a principal component analysis (PCA) and a Minimum Spanning Networks (MSN) based on genetic profiles of isolates, which generated two different clusters, one corresponding to the French isolates and four American isolates (MV1, MV5, MV7, Ath3), and the other to American isolates. A. euteiches populations from cultivated pea in France appeared as a single unstructured population, whereas American isolates of A. euteiches diverged into three different populations.  相似文献

Rhizoctonia cerealis causes sharp eyespot in cereals and the pathogen survives as mycelia or sclerotia in soil. Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) assays based on TaqMan chemistry are highly suitable for use on DNA extracted from soil. We report here the first qPCR assay for R. cerealis using TaqMan primers and a probe based on a unique Sequence Characterised Amplified Region (SCAR). The assay is highly specific and did not amplify DNA from a range of other binucleate Rhizoctonia species or isolates of anastomosis groups of Rhizoctonia solani. The high sensitivity of the assay was demonstrated in soils using a bulk DNA extraction method where 200 μg sclerotia in 50 g of soil were detected. DNA of the pathogen could also be amplified from asymptomatic wheat plants. Using the assay on soil samples from fields under different crop rotations, R. cerealis was most frequently detected in soils where wheat was grown or soil under pasture. It was detected least frequently in fields where potatoes were grown. This study demonstrates that assays derived from SCAR sequences can produce specific and sensitive qPCR assays.  相似文献

During surveys conducted in 2010–2012 Rhizoctonia symptoms were observed on 30 ornamental species in different nurseries located in eastern Sicily (Southern Italy). Eighty-eight isolates of Rhizoctonia spp. were obtained from symptomatic leaves, roots and stems. Fifty-six of the isolates were binucleate and 32 were multinucleate Rhizoctonia. Characterisation of anastomosis groups (AGs) was performed using morphological characteristics and sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer of ribosomal DNA ( rDNA-ITS) region. Most isolates collected were Rhizoctonia solani AG-4 HG-I (35.2% of all isolates) and one isolate was AG-2-2 IIIB. The binucleate isolates belonged to AG-R (27.3%), AG-A (21.6%), AG-G (12.5%), AG-V (1.1%) and AG-Fb (1.1%). The pathogenicity of 38 representative isolates collected from each host was tested on seedlings or cuttings grown in a growth chamber. All R. solani AG-4 HG-I isolates, most of the binucleate AG-R, AG-A and AG-G and AG-V were pathogenic and reproduced symptoms identical to that observed in nurseries, while binucleate AG-Fb and R. solani AG-2-2 IIIB isolates were nonpathogenic. This is the first report of the occurrence of Rhizoctonia species on some ornamental plants and the first report of binucleate Rhizoctonia AG-R and AG-V in Europe.  相似文献

Early blight and brown spot, caused by respectively Alternaria solani and Alternaria alternata, can lead to severe yield losses in potato-growing areas. To date, fungicide application is the most effective measure to control the disease. However, in recent years, a reduced sensitivity towards several active ingredients has been reported. To shed light on this issue, Alternaria isolates were collected from different potato fields in Belgium during two growing seasons. Subsequently, the sensitivity of these isolates was assessed using four widely used fungicides with different modes of action. Demethylation inhibitors, quinone outside inhibitors, a dithiocarbamate and a carboxylic acid amide were included in this study. Although all fungicides reduced spore germination and vegetative growth of Alternaria species to some extent, the interspecies sensitivity was very variable. In general, A. solani was more suppressed by the fungicides compared to A. alternata. The effectiveness of the dithiocarbamate mancozeb was high, whereas the quinone outside inhibitor azoxystrobin showed a limited activity, especially towards A. alternata. Therefore, a subset of the A. alternata and A. solani isolates was tested for the presence of, respectively, the G143A substitution and the F129L substitution in the cytochrome b. The frequency of A. alternata isolates bearing the resistant G143A allele (approximately 65%) was comparable in both sampling years, although sensitivity of isolates decreased during the growing season. This finding points to a shift of the population towards resistant isolates. Both the European genotype I and American genotype II were present in the A. solani population, with genotype I being the most prevalent. None of the genotype I isolates carried the F129L substitution, whereas in 83% of the genotype II isolates this substitution was present. Our results demonstrate for the first time that the Belgian Alternaria population on potato comprises a considerable broad spectrum of isolates with different sensitivity to fungicides.  相似文献

Fusarium is one of the most destructive fungal genera whose members cause many diseases on plants, animals, and humans. Moreover, many Fusarium species secrete mycotoxins (e.g. trichothecenes and fumonisins) that are toxic to humans and animals. Fusarium isolates from date palm trees showing disease symptoms, e.g. chlorosis, necrosis and whitening, were collected from seven regions across Saudi Arabia. After single-sporing, the fungal strains were morphologically characterized. To confirm the identity of morphologically characterized Fusarium strains, three nuclear loci, two partial genes of translation elongation factor 1 α (tef1α) and β-tubulin (tub2), and the rDNA-ITS region, were amplified and sequenced. Of the 70 Fusarium strains, 70 % were identified as F. proliferatum that were recovered from six regions across Saudi Arabia. Fusarium solani (13 %), as well as one strain each of the following species: F. brachygibbosum, F. oxysporum, and F. verticillioides were also recovered. In addition, five Fusarium-like strains were recognized as Sarocladium kiliense by DNA-based data. The preliminary in vitro pathogenicity results showed that F. proliferatum had the highest colonization abilities on date palm leaflets, followed by F. solani. Although F. oxysporum f. sp. albedinis is the most serious date palm pathogen, F. proliferatum and F. solani are becoming serious pathogens and efforts should be made to restrict and control them. In addition, the potential toxin risks of strains belonging to F. proliferatum should be evaluated.  相似文献

The cereal cyst nematode Heterodera avenae is a pathogen of cereal crops and causes high yield losses worldwide. In this study, a collection of 37,348 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of H. avenae was mined for EST-based simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, which resulted in the identification of 5604 SSRs. A total of 210 pairs of SSR primers were further developed and used for validation of the amplification rate and assessment of the polymorphism. Eight SSR markers were finally identified and analyzed using 96 individual cysts of H. avenae sampled from three provinces in China. These loci were found to be moderately polymorphic with 3–8 alleles per locus. The observed and expected heterozygosity across the three populations ranged from 0.000 to 0.594 and from 0.000 to 0.731, respectively. The polymorphism information content (PIC) was medium and ranged from 0.080 to 0.562, with a mean of 0.409. The F ST ranged from 0.1034 to 0.1550, indicating moderate genetic differentiation among the three H. avenae populations. These EST-SSR markers can be used to study population genetic diversity and the dispersal route of H. avenae in China.  相似文献

Bacterial blight (BB) of rice caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), remains a major production constraint in rice cultivation especially in irrigated and rainfed lowland ecosystems in India. The pathogen is highly dynamic in nature and knowledge on pathotype composition among the Xoo population is imperative for designing a scientific resistance breeding program. In this study, four hundred isolates of Xoo collected from diverse rice growing regions of India were analyzed for their virulence and genetic composition. Virulence profiling was carried out on a set of differentials consisting of 22 near isogenic lines (NILs) of IR24 possessing different BB resistance genes and their combinations along with the checks. It was observed that different NILs possessing single BB resistance gene were susceptible to about 59–94% of the Xoo isolates except IRBB 13 (containing BB resistance gene xa13), which showed susceptibility to about 35% of the isolates. Based on the reaction of the Xoo isolates on the differentials, they were categorized into 22 pathotypes. Among the 22 pathotypes, IXoPt-1 and IXoPt-2 were least virulent and IXoPt # 18–22 were highly virulent. Pathotype IXoPt-19 which was virulent on all single BB resistance genes except xa13 constituted the major pathotype (22.5% isolates) and was widely distributed throughout India (16 states). This was followed by pathotype IXoPt-22 (17.25%) which was virulent on all the NILs possessing single BB resistance genes. Molecular analysis was carried out using two outwardly directed primers complementary to sequence of IS1112, a repetitive element of Xoo. A high level of genetic polymorphism was detected among these isolates and the isolates were grouped into 12 major clusters. The data indicated complex nature of evolution of the Xoo pathotypes and there was no strong correlation between pathotypes and genetic clusters as each genetic cluster was composed of Xoo isolates belonging to different pathotypes. The study indicated that none of the single BB resistance genes can provide broad spectrum resistance in India. However, two-gene combinations like xa5 + xa13 and different 3 or 4 genes combination like Xa4 + xa5 + xa13, Xa4 + xa13 + Xa21, xa5 + xa13 + Xa21 and Xa4 + xa5 + xa13 + Xa21 are broadly effective throughout India.  相似文献

Binucleate Rhizoctonia (BNR) spp. isolates were collected from taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) and ginger (Zingiber officinale (Willd.) Roscoe) (Yunnanxiaojiang cv.) in Yunnan province. These Yunnan (YN) isolates did not anastomose with any of the tester isolates of the known AGs of binucleate Rhizoctonia spp. The growth of YN cultures on PDA was appressed, mealy and matlike after 4 days of incubation, then turned white brown, producing brown to dark brown, irregularly shaped sclerotia were embedded in the PDA medium after 14 days. All attempts to induce basidiospore production were unsuccessful, but the length and sequence of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS1 + 5.8S rDNA + ITS2) regions of 5.8S rDNA from the YN isolates were identical in length and sequence to isolates of all the other AGs of binucleate Rhizoctonia /Ceratobasidium spp. The sequences of 5.8S rDNA-ITS from the YN isolates were unique among AGs of BNR. The YN isolates had sequence similarities of 94% with isolates of AG Fb and P, 93% with AG E, 91% with AG R, 79–94% with AG S, and 74–87% with AG A, Ba, Bb, Bo, C, DI, DII, DIII, Fa, G, H, I, K, L, O, and Q. Four isolates of AG YN caused minor virulence (lesions ≦1mm2) to ginger or taro in growth chamber studies. It was concluded that the YN isolates belong to a new anastomosis group AG-V of the Ceratobasidium spp..  相似文献

Early blight of potato, caused by Alternaria solani, is a ubiquitous disease in many countries around the world. Our previous screening of several Iranian potato cultivars found that variation in resistance exists between two cultivars: ‘Diamond’ and ‘Granula’. Cultivar Diamond is more resistant to multiple isolates of A. solani when compared to cv. Granula. Furthermore, we have found that different pathogen isolates have varying degrees of infection. We monitored the activities of two pathogen-related (PR) glucanase proteins in Diamond and Granula in response to two isolates of A. solani with different degrees of virulence. ß-1,3-glucanase and ß-1,4-glucanase activities were recorded in healthy and diseased leaves of potatoes up to 10 days after inoculation. Their activities were found to be higher in diseased leaves when compared to those of uninfected leaves. Our data suggest that significantly reduced activities of theses enzymes in potato could be related to a lower degree of resistance or an increased ability of a more aggressive isolate to suppress PR protein expression.  相似文献

The toxins produced by Rhizoctonia solani are important causal agents of rice sheath blight. Effective detection of such toxins could improve the determination of the virulence of this agronomically important fungal pathogen. As such, the objective of the current study was to investigate the use of a variety of plant species [annual sowthistle (Sonchus oleraceus L.), Chinese cabbage (Brassica chinensis), spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. sativa), long leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. ramosa Hort) and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)] for qualitative detection of R. solani crude toxins (RHCT) to replace the current rice leaf sheath based assay. This is constrained as rice plant takes long time to grow before the leaf sheath can be harvested From the initial screen, it was found that detached lettuce leaves provided the best alternative to rice material. Quantitative determination of RHCT activity by the phosphorus extravasation method was then performed on both rice (Oryza sativa L.) and lettuce. The results demonstrated that the detached lettuce leaves had the advantages of fast onset of symptoms, high sensitivity and non-perishability after inoculation. The quantity of phosphorus exosmosis observed in both lettuce leaves and rice leaf sheaths were significantly positively correlated. These data indicate that lettuce leaves can be used as a substitute material for rice leaf sheaths, with which to study the RHCT both qualitatively and quantitatively. The current study provides a new way to qualitatively and quantitatively detect RHCT.  相似文献

The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is widely cultivated in Brazil and is known as a very important crop for families in this country. Fusarium wilt severely harms common beans and has become a big issue for this crop. In order to assist the breeding programs that target resistance to this disease, the evaluation of genetic diversity of the pathogen and its molecular characterization are crucial. Thus, the present goal was to identify Fusarium isolates obtained from several places in Brazil using molecular tools; select molecular markers for these isolates; and analyze their diversity. All of isolates were molecularly identified as Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli (Fop). By using seven selected SSR markers, the results of diversity obtained by the dendrogram and the Bayesian analysis formed four groups where a large diversity of this fungus was found within each state. However, the groups were more homogenous according to the collection source and the pathogenicity test. More specifically, group 2 was composed of the most virulent strains and originated from Minas Gerais State – UFV, and group 3 was mostly composed by isolates from Goias state. Group I was also more diverse in terms of location and virulence. The overall results indicated a positive correlation between Fusarium diversity and its virulence to common bean. Furthermore, the use of these markers was effective in molecular identification and in detecting polymorphism within F. oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli.  相似文献

In Hokkaido potato fields, tubers produced from the plants with leaf curl symptoms caused by potato leaf roll virus (PLRV) were noted to be more densely covered with Rhizoctonia sclerotia. This observation led us to hypothesize that potato infected with PLRV would have an increased susceptibility to Rhizoctonia solani. To test this hypothesis, in a pot experiment, we inoculated PLRV-infected mother tubers with Rhizoctonia. As a result, PLRV-infected plants produced significantly fewer and smaller tubers than virus-free plants did, suggesting that PLRV-infected plants are more susceptible than virus-free plants to R. solani. Virus-free seed tubers should thus be used to reduce Rhizoctonia diseases.  相似文献
