role of potato seed tubers in distribution of rhizoctonia solani ag-3

Authors
abstract

rhizoctonia disease of potato is one of the main causes of yield loss in this crop world- wide. in order to survey the importance of causal agent spread by seed tubers, 36 isolates of rhizoctonia solani were obtained from stored seed tubers and infected subterranean potato plant in the main potato production areas of hamedan and kurdistan provinces in the west of iran. the examination of anastomosis groups and nuclear conditions showed that all isolates were multinucleate and belonged to ag-3. in pathogenicity tests of 23 selected isolates, over 95 percent were able to cause rhizoctonia disease symptoms on potato sprouts in greenhouse. in molecular examinations, the genetic similarity of 10 selected isolates was surveyed through rapd marker using 12 random primers. results of band patterns revealed that collected isolates from different geographical areas were placed in one clued with 100 percent genetic similarity. presence of high genetic similarity among isolates obtained from various geographical areas is an indication that the pathogen has distributed in these areas through sclerotia on infested potato seed tubers. therefore, considering the importance of r. solani ag-3, as the main agent of potato rhizoctonia disease in hamedan and kurdistan provinces and the long survival time of this fungus in soil, the transmission and planting of potato seed tubers covered with rhizoctonia sclerotia to new fields need to be prevented.

Genetic structure of populations of Rhizoctonia solani AG-3 on potato in eastern North Carolina.

A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was developed to identify and differentiate genotypes of Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group 3 subgroup PT (AG-3 PT), a fungal pathogen of potato. Polymorphic co-dominant single-locus PCR-RFLP markers were identified after sequencing of clones from a genomic library and digestion with restriction enzymes. Mu...

Genetic diversity of Rhizoctonia solani associated with potato tubers in France.

The soilborne fungus Rhizoctonia solani is a pathogen of many plants and causes severe damage in crops around the world. Strains of R. solani from the anastomosis group (AG) 3 attack potatoes, leading to great yield losses and to the downgrading of production. The study of the genetic diversity of the strains of R. solani in France allows the structure of the populations to be determined and ad...

3-Methylthiopropionic Acid of Rhizoctonia solani AG-3 and Its Role in the Pathogenicity of the Fungus

Studies were conducted to determine the role of 3-methylthioproprionic acid (MTPA) in the pathogenicity of potato stem canker, Rhizoctonia solani, and the concentrations required to inhibit growth of R. solani under laboratory and plant house-based conditions. The experiments were laid out in a completely randomized design with five treatments and five replications. The treatments were 0, 1, 2,...

Transformation of Potato (Solanum tuberosumcv.Savalan) by Chitinase and β-1,3-Glucanase Genes of Myco-Parasitic Fungi Towards Improving Resistance to Rhizoctonia solani AG-3

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) an agro-economically important food crop in the world, is sensitive to many fungal pathogens including Rhizoctonia solani (AG-3), the causal agent of stem and root rot diseases. Chitinase and glucanase are cell wall degrading enzymes which have been shown to have high antifungal activity against a wide range of phytopathogenic fungi. In the present study, plasmid p...

Detecting Migrants in Populations of Rhizoctonia solani Anastomosis Group 3 from Potato in North Carolina Using Multilocus Genotype Probabilities.

ABSTRACT The relative contribution of migration of Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group 3 (AG-3) on infested potato seed tubers originating from production areas in Canada, Maine, and Wisconsin (source population) to the genetic diversity and structure of populations of R. solani AG-3 in North Carolina (NC) soil (recipient population) was examined. The frequency of alleles detected by multilocu...
