The genomes of five Cochliobolus heterostrophus strains, two sativus three additional species (Cochliobolus victoriae, carbonum, miyabeanus), and closely related Setosphaeria turcica were sequenced at the Joint Genome Institute (JGI). datasets used to identify SNPs between strains species, unique genomic regions, core secondary metabolism genes, small secreted protein (SSP) candidate effector encoding genes with a view towards pinpointing structural elements gene content associated...
Bakanae Disease of Rice in Malaysia and Indonesia: Etiology the Causal Agent Based on Morphological, Physiological Pathogenicity Characteristics disease rice has been recorded almost all countries where paddy is grown commercially, especially Asian countries, including Indonesia. was widespread Peninsular three provinces Indonesia with range severity from scale 1 to 5 incidence 0.5 12.5% during 2004-2005 main growing seasons. A total five Fusarium species belonging section Liseola their...
Cochliobolus miyabeanus causes brown spot disease of rice. For necrotrophic spp., some small molecule products nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS) and polyketide synthases (PKS) are known pathogenicity and/or virulence factors, often acting in a host-specific manner. Previous whole genome analyses across species identified 11 NRPS- 21 PKS-encoding genes C. miyabeanus. First purpose the current study was to examine effect deletion ten discontinuously distributed NPS/PKS (corresponding JGI...
Crop diseases caused by fungal infections have significantly impacted cocoa production, leading to substantial economic losses due ineffective disease management strategies. Leaf spot disease, in particular, threatens yield and quality, necessitating accurate identification of its causal agents for effective control measures. This study aimed isolate, identify, assess the pathogenicity species associated with leaf disease. A total 45 microfungal isolates were obtained from infected leaves...
The aims of this study were to identify the Fusarium isolates based on translation elongation factor (tef) 1α sequence, determine genetic diversity among and species using selected microsatellite markers examine pathogenicity causing fruit rot disease banana. One‐hundred thirteen microfungi obtained from infected banana in Peninsular Malaysia. However, was focused dominant number discovered that belongs genus Fusarium; 48 have been identified belonging 11 Fusarium, namely incarnatum,...
Agro‐based wastes were evaluated as a medium for mass micropropagule production and optimal efficacy of Trichoderma asperellum B1092 in controlling Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici promoting tomato growth. This study focused on biological control because pathogen persistence the soil makes disease difficult to control. Rice bran, biochar, empty fruit bunches, coconut fibres, compost, top mixed media multiplication T. asperellum, which is effective plant pathogens. Yielding most colony...
Fusarium has a cosmopolitan distribution, with some species able to cause diseases in agricultural crops. A number of isolates endophytic fungi were isolated from healthy roots Dendrobium crumenatum (Orchidaceae) at Universiti Putra Malaysia campus. The primarily identified as chlamydosporum based on morphological characteristics. cultures produced range chicory pink red and brown pigmentation. Only studies can not give any guarantee the levels identification but key putative names....
Brown spot disease, caused by Cochliobolus miyabeanus, is currently considered to be one of the most important yield reducers rice (Oryza sativa L.). Despite its agricultural importance, little known about virulence mechanisms deployed fungus. Therefore, we set out identify novel factors with a role in disease development. This article reports, for first time, production tentoxin C. miyabeanus as factor during brown and identification non-ribosomal protein synthetase (NRPS) CmNps3,...
Basal stem rot (BSR) of oil palm is a disastrous disease caused by white-rot fungus Ganoderma boninense Pat. Non-ribosomal peptides (NRPs) synthesized non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are group secondary metabolites that act as fungal virulent factors during pathogenesis in the host. In this study, we aimed to isolate NRPS gene G. strain UPMGB001 and investigate role boninense-oil interaction. The isolated DNA fragment 8322 bp was used predict putative sequence different domains...
Abstract Fruit rot of tomato is a serious disease caused by Fusarium species. Sampling was conducted throughout Selangor, Malaysia and fungal species identification based on morphological gene encoding translation elongation factor 1-α ( tef1-α ) sequence analysis. Five were discovered namely F. oxysporum (including f. sp. lycopersici ), solani, equiseti, proliferatum verticillioides . Our results provide additional information regarding the diversity associated with fruit tomato.
Setosphaeria rostrata, a common plant pathogen causing leaf spot disease, affects wide range of species, mainly grasses. Fungi were isolated from brown spots on rice leaves throughout Peninsular Malaysia, and 45 isolates identified as rostrata. The then characterized using morphological molecular approaches. mating type was determined PCR amplification the alleles, opposite types crossed to examine sexual reproduction. Based nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region (ITS) beta-tubulin...
The usage of plant growth-promoting (PGP) Streptomyces to improve growth is an alternative existing strategies chemical fertilizers that commonly caused environmental pollution. aim this study was isolate and characterize PGP from Malaysian rice fields with antagonistic activity against Bacterial Panicle Blight disease in by Burkholderia glumae. A total 50 bacterial isolates were recovered the soil, rhizosphere, endosphere; 22% showed B. Molecular identification using 16S rRNA amplification...
Relative to the established and well known rice diseases, sheath brown rot caused by Pseudomonas fuscovaginae can be considered new but getting widespread serious all over world.Our research was aimed monitor quantify incidence importance of disease in Malaysia.A series field monitoring sampling were conducted severity disease.Laboratory analysis collected diseased plant done identify causal organism.Disease resistance screening selected cultivars also overcome problem.The found become more...
Fusarium ear rot is a significant disease of corn caused by several toxigenic species including proliferatum and verticillioides. Forty-one isolates were recovered from with symptoms collected Peninsular Malaysia. Isolates classified into three described known as F. proliferatum, verticillioides, solani. Based on sexual compatibility test, four (MATD-1) crossed-fertile tester isolate D024853 (MATD-2), producing perithecia in the presence ascospores. Meanwhile, verticillioides (MATA-2)...
The Sfp-type 4'-phosphopantetheinyl transferase Ppt1 is required for activation of nonribosomal peptide synthetases, including α-aminoadipate reductase (AAR) lysine biosynthesis and polyketide synthases, enzymes that biosynthesize secondary metabolites, respectively. Deletion the PPT1 gene, from maize pathogen Cochliobolus heterostrophus rice miyabeanus, yielded strains were significantly reduced in virulence to their hosts. In addition, ppt1 mutants C. race T victoriae unable host-selective...
Endophytic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from papaya seeds, including a consortium of two LAB isolates, Weissella cibaria PPKSD19 and Lactococcus lactis subsp. PPSSD39 could previously inhibit dieback disease causative agent, Erwinia mallotivora BT-MARDI in vitro, indicating their potential as biofertilizer. However, further characterizations on other plant growth-promoting (PGP) properties the LABs are pre-requisite to use agricultural settings bio-inoculum. Hence, this study aimed...
