Barakat , Fadel Al-Mahareeq , 2 1 Mohammed S. Ali -Shtayeh , and Mohammad I. AL- Masri 1Faculty of Agriculture, Hebron University, Hebron- Palestine 2Faculty of Science, An-Najah National University, Nablus- Palestine Abstract: The effect of indigenous Trichoderma isolates against the soil-borne phytopathogen Rhizoctonia solani was investigated in dual culture and bioassay on bean plants. Ap- plication of the bioagent isolates as a conidial suspension (3*107) greatly reduced the disease index of bean plants caused by R. solani in different rates and the most effective Trichoderma harzianum isolate (Jn14) reduced the disease by 65%. In dual culture, the T. harzianum (Jn14) overgrew the pathogen R. solani in an average of 16.75 mm/day at 30 °C. In addition, the results showed that T. harzianum (Jn14) and T. hamatum (T36) were the most effective isolates at 25°C and inhibited R. solani mycelial growth by 42% and 78% respectively, due to fungitoxic metabolites production. The Effect of Trichoderma on bean seedlings growth was obvious; height was nearly doubled (160% - 200%), while fresh and dry weights increased by 133% and 217%, respectively. Ger- mination of bean seeds in treated soil with Trichoderma isolates occurred about four days earlier than those in untreated soils. The results revealed however some variation between isolates which was due to genetic variation, mycelium-coiling rate, sporulation rate, fungitoxic metabolites, induced growth response and temperature effect.

Reliance on field symptoms to identify Rhizoctonia causal agents can be difficult and misleading. Different Rhizoctonia species and Anastomosis Groups (AGs) vary in sensitivity to commonly applied fungicides and they also have different temperature ranges conducive for causing disease. Thus correct identification of the causal pathogen is important to predict disease progression and make future disease management decisions. Grouping Rhizoctonia species by anastomosis reactions is difficult and time consuming. Identification of Rhizoctonia isolates by sequencing Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region can be cost prohibitive. Some Rhizoctonia isolates are difficult to sequence due to polymorphism of the ITS region. Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) is a reliable and cost effective fingerprinting method for investigating genetic diversity of many organisms.

  • Proteo-Metabolomic Investigation of Transgenic Rice Unravels Metabolic

Datta1 The generation of sheath blight (ShB)-resistant transgenic rice plants through the expression of Arabidopsis NPR1 gene is a signifcant development for research in the feld of biotic stress. However, to our knowledge, regulation of the proteomic and metabolic networks in the ShB-resistant transgenic rice plants has not been studied. In the present investigation, the relative proteome and metabolome profles of the non–transformed wild-type and the AtNPR1-transgenic rice lines prior to and subsequent to the R. solani infection were investigated. Total proteins from wild type and transgenic plants were investigated using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) followed by mass spectrometry (MS). The metabolomics study indicated an increased abundance of various metabolites, which draws parallels with the proteomic analysis. Furthermore, the proteome data was cross-examined using network analysis which identifed modules that were rich in known as well as novel immunity-related prognostic proteins, particularly the mitogen-activated protein kinase 6, probable protein phosphatase 2C1, probable trehalose-phosphate phosphatase 2 and heat shock protein. A novel protein, 14–3– 3GF14f was observed to be upregulated in the leaves of the transgenic rice plants after ShB infection, and the possible mechanistic role of this protein in ShB resistance may be investigated further.

The dual culture technique showed that Ta41 had a high antagonistic activity of 83.33%, while a light microscope bioassay demonstrated that the Ta41 isolate over-parasitized the pathogen completely. Under greenhouse conditions, the application of Ta41 was able to promote tomato plant growth and had a significant increase in plant height, root length, and shoot fresh, shoot dry, root fresh, and root dry weight. It also improved chlorophyll content and total phenol content significantly, both in protective and in curative treat- ments. The protective treatment assay exhibited the lowest disease index (16.00%), while the curative treatment showed a disease index of 33.33%. At 20 days post-inoculation, significant increases in the relative expression levels of four defense-related genes (PR-1, PR-2, PR-3, and CHS) were observed in all Ta41-treated plants when compared with the non-treated plants.

The most commonly observed symptoms were a greyish-white felt-like mycelium and black scurf, the latter often associated with Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group (AG) 3-PT on potato. An overall increase in disease incidence in all studied fields over time was observed for both symptoms. The majority of Rhizoctonia isolates sampled from carrot in the period 2015–2020 were identified as AG 3 (45%) and AG 5 (24%), followed by AG 1-IB (13%), AG Citation: Marcou, S.; Wikström, M.; 11 (5%), AG-E (5%), AG BI (3%), AG-K (3%) and AG 4-HGII (2%).

Rasmussen 10/04/13 Date Department Chair ABSTRACT Rhizoctonia crown and root rot of sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kühn is one of the most important production problems in Minnesota and North Dakota. Greenhouse studies were conducted to determine the efficacy of azoxystrobin to control R. solani at seed, cotyledonary, 2-leaf and 4-leaf stages of sugarbeet; compatibility, safety, and efficacy of mixing azoxystrobin with starter fertilizers to control R. solani; and the effect of placement of azoxystrobin in control of R. solani. Results demonstrated that azoxystrobin provided effective control applied in-furrow or band applications before infection at all sugarbeet growth stages evaluated; mixtures of azoxystrobin and starter fertilizers were compatible, safe, and provided control of R. solani; and azoxystrobin provided effective control against R. solani when placed in contact over the sugarbeet root or into soil close to the roots.

  • Biocontrol Potential of Trichoderma Viride, Pseudomonas Fluorescens for Fusarium Wilt of Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata L.)
    International Journal of Agricultural Technology 2020 Vol. 16(2): 377-392 Available online http://www.ijat-aatsea.com ISSN 2630-0192 (Online) Biocontrol potential of Trichoderma viride, Pseudomonas fluorescens for Fusarium wilt of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) Ramasamy, P. and Sundaram, L.* Department of Botany, School of Life Sciences, Periyar University, Salem. Tamil Nadu, India. Ramasamy, P. and Sundaram, L. (2020). Biocontrol potential of Trichoderma viride, Pseudomonas fluorescens for fusarium wilt of cow pea (Vigna unguiculata L.). International Journal of Agricultural Technology 16(2): 377-392. Abstract Trichoderma viride (MH333256), Pseudomonas fluorescens (Ps01), Fusarium oxysporum (Fu04) were morphological identified and biochemical characterization was determined under compound microscope. All isolates were phylogenetic confirmed by genetic DNA isolation and PCR analysis. The healthy seeds of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) were used in experiment. Results described in treatments of control, Ps01, Tr02, Fu04, Ps01+ Fu04, Tr02+ Fu04, Ps01+ Fu04+Tr02, after inoculation to the seeds sown in the pots. In pot experiment, the bio-inoculated plant (Tr02) significantly enhanced the plant biomass, chlorophyll, nitrogen, NPK content and soil microbial population after 45 DAI. Bioinoculant (Tr02, Ps01) highly inhibited plant pathogen (Fu04) and increased in plant fresh weight (13.4 g) when compared to the control (9 g) and Fu04 (6 g). Keywords: Trichoderma viride, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Fusarium oxysporum, Siderophore, Phosphate solublization Introduction Soil-borne pathogens cause the diseases leading to low quality and yield of the crops. Fungi is the most important soil-borne pathogens that damaged the several major crops. Pythium, Botrytis, Rhizoctonia and Fusarium are found to be the main pathogenic fungi (Djonovic et al., 2007).
