Pseudomonas fuscovaginae is the most prominent bacterial sheath rot pathogen, causing brown disease in rice. This occurs worldwide and it characterized by typical necrotic lesions on sheath, as well a reduction number of emitted panicles filled grains. P. has been shown to produce syringotoxin fuscopeptin cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs), which have linked pathogenicity. In this study, we investigated role UPB0736 CLPs plant pathogenicity, antifungal activity swarming motility. To do so, sequenced...
Acid sulfate soils pose significant challenges to rice production due their negative impact on root development and nutrient uptake, reducing yield quality. The excessive use of fungicides by farmers control diseases has exacerbated the issue, as it contributes environmental pollution poses health risks. Our study aimed isolate indigenous bacteria from grown in acid with potential biocontrol activity against common fungal pathogens Vietnam. Using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, a total 91...
