To develop an effective biological agent to control Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, three endophytic Bacillus spp. strains with high antagonistic activity were isolated from maize seed and characterized. In vitro assays revealed that the endophytes could produce volatile organic compounds (VOC) reduced sclerotial production inhibited mycelial growth of S. sclerotiorum. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry selected produced 16 detectable VOC. Eight VOC exhibited negative effects on while a further...
Fusarium graminearum is a notorious pathogen that causes head blight (FHB) in cereal crops. It produces secondary metabolites, such as deoxynivalenol, diminishing grain quality and leading to lesser crop yield. Many strategies have been developed combat this pathogenic fungus; however, considering the lack of resistant cultivars likelihood environmental hazards upon using chemical pesticides, efforts shifted toward biocontrol plant diseases, which sustainable eco-friendly approach. Fengycin,...
Abiotic stress in plants pose a major threat to cereal crop production worldwide and cold is also notorious for causing decrease plant growth yield wheat. The present study was designed alleviate on by inoculating psychrophilic PGPR bacteria belonging Bacillus genera isolated from extreme rhizospheric environments of Qinghai-Tibetan plateau. genetic screening spp. CJCL2, RJGP41 temperate B. velezensis FZB42 revealed presence features corresponding response, membrane transport, signal...
Fusarium graminearum and verticillioides are fungal pathogens that cause diseases in cereal crops, such as head blight (FHB), seedling blight, stalk rot. They also produce a variety of mycotoxins reduce crop yields threaten human animal health. Several strategies for controlling these have been developed. However, due to lack resistant cultivars the hazards chemical fungicides, efforts now focused on biocontrol plant diseases, which is more sustainable environmentally friendly approach. In...
In previous studies, <i>Bacillus amyloliquefaciens</i> C06 has been proven to be effective in controlling brown rot of stone fruit caused by <i>Monilinia fructicola.</i> When tested vitro, cell-free filtrate <i>B. significantly inhibited mycelial growth and conidial germination the fungal pathogen. This study aimed determine role antifungal compound(s) an approach combining a DNA-based suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) method with MALDI-TOF-MS...
Fusarium verticillioides (teleomorph, Gibberella moniliformis) is an important plant pathogen that causes seedling blight, stalk rot, and ear rot in maize (Zea mays). During infection, F. produce fumonsins B1 (FB1) pose a serious threat to human animal health. Recent studies showed Set1, methyltransferase of H3K4, was responsible for toxin biosynthesis filamentous fungi. However, date, the regulation FvSet1 on FB1 remains unclear. In current study, we identified only one Set1 ortholog...
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a devastating necrotrophic pathogen that infects multiple crops, and its control an unremitting challenge. In this work, we attempted to gain insights into the pivotal role of lipopeptides (LPs) in antifungal activity Bacillus amyloliquefaciens EZ1509. comparative study involving five strains, B. EZ1509 harboring four LPs biosynthetic genes (viz. surfactin, iturin, fengycin, bacilysin) exhibited promising against S. dual-culture assay. Our data demonstrated...
Bacterial leaf pustule (BLP), caused by Xanthornonas axonopodis pv. glycines (Xag), is a worldwide disease of soybean, particularly in warm and humid regions. To date, little known about the underlying molecular mechanisms BLP resistance. The only single recessive resistance gene rxp has not been functionally identified yet, even though genotypes carrying have widely used for breeding. Using linkage mapping recombinant inbred line (RIL) population against Xag strain Chinese C5, we that...
Activation of immune responses leads to an enrichment beneficial microbes in rice panicle. We therefore selected the enriched operational taxonomy units (OTUs) exhibiting direct suppression effects on fungal pathogens, and established a simplified synthetic community (SynCom) which consists three microbes. Application this SynCom exhibits protective effect against pathogen infection rice. Beneficial exhibit positive health not only plants but also animals humans [1-3], give possibility their...
Bacterial blight caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycines (Psg) is a widespread foliar disease. Although four Resistance to glycinea (Rpg) 1 ~ 4 (Rpg1~4) genes that have been observed segregate in Mendelian pattern reported confer resistance Psg soybean, the genetic basis of quantitative bacterial soybean remains unclear. In present study, two association panels consisting 573 and 213 lines, respectively, were phenotyped multiple environments 2014 – 2016. Genome-wide study (GWAS)...
ABSTRACT Ectopic expression of the Harpin Xooc –encoding gene hrf2 in rapeseed ( Brassica napus L.) confers enhanced resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and improved agronomic performance. To better understand molecular mechanisms harpin‐mediated plant responses, we developed a 3’–tag digital (DGE) method compare mRNA patterns transgenic T‐4 harboring untransformed Yangyou 4 (Y4) at global level. Solexa Illumina sequencing yielded 5,645,091 6,007,037 clean tags, corresponding 14,237...
