INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy.

  • Overexpression of BSR1 Confers Broad-Spectrum Resistance Against Two Bacterial Diseases and Two Major Fungal Diseases in Rice
    Breeding Science 66: 396–406 (2016) doi:10.1270/jsbbs.15157 Research Paper Overexpression of BSR1 confers broad-spectrum resistance against two bacterial diseases and two major fungal diseases in rice Satoru Maeda1), Nagao Hayashi1), Takahide Sasaya2,3) and Masaki Mori*1) 1) Institute of Agrobiological Sciences, NARO (NIAS), Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8602, Japan 2) NARO Agricultural Research Center (NARC), Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8666, Japan 3) Present address: NARO, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8517, Japan Broad-spectrum disease resistance against two or more types of pathogen species is desirable for crop im- provement. In rice, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), the causal bacteria of rice leaf blight, and Magnaporthe oryzae, the fungal pathogen causing rice blast, are two of the most devastating pathogens. We identified the rice BROAD-SPECTRUM RESISTANCE 1 (BSR1) gene for a BIK1-like receptor-like cytoplas- mic kinase using the FOX hunting system, and demonstrated that BSR1-overexpressing (OX) rice showed strong resistance to the bacterial pathogen, Xoo and the fungal pathogen, M. oryzae. Here, we report that BSR1-OX rice showed extended resistance against two other different races of Xoo, and to at least one other race of M. oryzae. In addition, the rice showed resistance to another bacterial species, Burkholderia glumae, which causes bacterial seedling rot and bacterial grain rot, and to Cochliobolus miyabeanus, another fungal species causing brown spot. Furthermore, BSR1-OX rice showed slight resistance to rice stripe disease, a major viral disease caused by rice stripe virus. Thus, we demonstrated that BSR1-OX rice shows remarkable broad-spectrum resistance to at least two major bacterial species and two major fungal species, and slight resistance to one viral pathogen.

  • The Phylogeny of Plant and Animal Pathogens in the Ascomycota
    Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology (2001) 59, 165±187 doi:10.1006/pmpp.2001.0355, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on MINI-REVIEW The phylogeny of plant and animal pathogens in the Ascomycota MARY L. BERBEE* Department of Botany, University of British Columbia, 6270 University Blvd, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada (Accepted for publication August 2001) What makes a fungus pathogenic? In this review, phylogenetic inference is used to speculate on the evolution of plant and animal pathogens in the fungal Phylum Ascomycota. A phylogeny is presented using 297 18S ribosomal DNA sequences from GenBank and it is shown that most known plant pathogens are concentrated in four classes in the Ascomycota. Animal pathogens are also concentrated, but in two ascomycete classes that contain few, if any, plant pathogens. Rather than appearing as a constant character of a class, the ability to cause disease in plants and animals was gained and lost repeatedly. The genes that code for some traits involved in pathogenicity or virulence have been cloned and characterized, and so the evolutionary relationships of a few of the genes for enzymes and toxins known to play roles in diseases were explored. In general, these genes are too narrowly distributed and too recent in origin to explain the broad patterns of origin of pathogens. Co-evolution could potentially be part of an explanation for phylogenetic patterns of pathogenesis. Robust phylogenies not only of the fungi, but also of host plants and animals are becoming available, allowing for critical analysis of the nature of co-evolutionary warfare. Host animals, particularly human hosts have had little obvious eect on fungal evolution and most cases of fungal disease in humans appear to represent an evolutionary dead end for the fungus.

  • Lecture-1 Diseases of Rice
    LECTURE-1 DISEASES OF RICE 1.1 BLAST Causal organism: Pyricularia oryzae (Sub-division: Deuteromycotina) Perfect stage - Magnaporthe grisea Symptoms The fungus attacks the crop at all stages from seedlings in nursery to heading in main field. The typical symptoms appear on leaves, leaf sheath, rachis, nodes and even the glumes are also attacked. Leaf blast: On the leaves, the lesions start as small water soaked bluish green specks, soon enlarge and form characteristic spindle shaped spots with grey centre and dark brown margin. The spots join together as the disease progresses and large areas of the leaves dry up and wither. Node blast: In infected nodes, irregular black areas that encircle the nodes can be noticed. The affected nodes may break up and all the plant parts above the infected nodes may die (Node blast). Neck blast: At the flower emergence, the fungus attacks the peduncle which is engirdled, and the lesion turns to brownish-black. This stage of infection is commonly referred to as rotten neck/neck rot/neck blast/panicle blast. In early neck infection, grain filling does not occur and the panicle remains erect like a dead heart caused by a stem borer. In the late infection, partial grain filling occurs. Small brown to black spots also may be observed on glumes of the heavily infected panicles. Fig 1.1: Leaf Blast of Rice Fig 1.2: Node Blast of Rice 1 Disease Cycle Primary Infection – Mycelium & Conidia in the infected straw & seeds Secondary Infection – Conidia spread by wind and rain splashes. Favourable Condition Application of excessive doses of nitrogenous fertilizers, intermittent drizzles, cloudy weather, high relative humidity (93-99 per cent), low night temperature (between 15-20 0C or less than 26 0C).

  • A New Species of Bipolaris from Heliconia Rostrata in India
    Current Research in Environmental & Applied Mycology 6 (3): 231–237(2016) ISSN 2229-2225 www.creamjournal.org Article CREAM Copyright © 2016 Online Edition Doi 10.5943/cream/6/3/11 A new species of Bipolaris from Heliconia rostrata in India Singh R1 and Kumar S2 1Centre of Advanced Study in Botany, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi – 221005, Uttar Pradesh, India 2Department of Forest Pathology, Kerala Forest Research Institute, Peechi- 680653, Kerala, India Singh R, Kumar S 2016 − A new species of Bipolaris from Heliconia rostrata in India. Current Research in Environmental & Applied Mycology 6(3), 231– 237, Doi 10.5943/cream/6/3/11 Abstract Bipolaris rostratae, a new foliicolous anamorphic fungus discovered on living leaves of Heliconia rostrata (Heliconiaceae), is described and illustrated. The species was compared with closely related species of Bipolaris and similar fungi recorded on Heliconia spp. This species is different from other Bipolaris spp. reported on Heliconia due to its shorter, thinner and less septate conidia. A key is provided to all species of Bipolaris reported on Heliconia. Key words − fungal diversity – morphotaxonomy – Foliicolous fungi – Bipolaris – new species Introduction After several taxonomic refinements, graminicolous Helminthosporium were segregated into several genera including Bipolaris, Curvularia, Drechslera and Exserohilum (Sivanesan 1987). These genera belong to Ascomycota, Dothideomycetes, Pleosporales, Pleosporaceae. These genera can be distinguished on the basis of characters such as conidial shape and size, hilum morphology, origin of the germ tubes from the basal or other conidial cells, and the location and sequence in the development of the conidial septa. Illustrations of different hilum morphologies in graminicolous Helminthosporium species were given by Alcorn (1988).

ABSTRACT: Brown spot disease is one of the most destructive diseases of rice. The development of various molecular techniques has allowed for detailed molecular analyses of the interactions, which could open unexplored avenues to better strategize the prevention and control of the disease. This review article aims to present a synthesis of the current molecular bases of the disease. KEYWORDS: Rice; Brown Spot Disease; Hormone; Toxins; Innate Immunity. Corresponding Author: Syed Wasim Parvez* Department of Biotechnology, NIT-Durgapur, Mahatma Gandhi Road, Durgapur, West Bengal, India. Email Address:[email protected] 1.INTRODUCTION Rice is the staple food for more than 1.6 billion people of the world. One of the deadliest famines in history, the Bengal Famine of 1943-45, which claimed around 2 million lives, was caused mainly due to the loss of rice crops by the brown spot disease caused by the fungal pathogen Bipolaris oryzae(Teleomorph: Cochliobolus miyabeanus) [1].In spite of its great economic significance, research on the disease front, especially on the molecular understanding has been far from adequate. The following is a thorough discussion of the recent molecular studies on the disease and points to future directions of research so as to enable us to understand and manage it better. Silicon Succour Silicon (Si) fertilizers have emerged as potent sources for managing biotic and abiotic stresses [2]; [3]; [4].

Received 24 May 2018 This review provides a summary of some secondary metabolites isolated from the genera Accepted 17 September 2018 Curvularia and Bipolaris from 1963 to 2017. The study has a broad objective. First to afford an overview of the structural diversity of these genera, classifying them depending on their Keywords: chemical classes, highlighting individual examples of chemical structures. Also some in- Anti-malarial activity formation regarding their biological activities are presented. Several of the compounds re- Bipolaris ported here were isolated exclusively from endophytic and pathogenic strains in culture, Curvularia while few from other sources such as sea Anemone and fish. Some secondary metabolites Fungicidal activity of the genus Curvularia and Bipolaris revealed a fascinating biological activities included: Leishmanicidal activity anti-malarial, anti-biofouling, anti-larval, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, Secondary metabolites anti-fungal, anti-cancer, leishmanicidal and phytotoxicity. Herein, we presented a bibliog- raphy of the researches accomplished on the natural products of Curvularia and Bipolaris, which could help in the future prospecting of novel or new analogues of active metabolites from these two genera. ª 2018 British Mycological Society.
