Sheath blight, caused by Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group 1 subgroup 1A (AG1-1A), is one of the most devastating rice diseases worldwide. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of R. solani AG1-1A strain 1802/KB isolated from a popular Malaysian rice variety. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second reported representative genome from AG1-1A.

Sakuranetin (1) is a rice flavanone-type phytoalexin. We have already reported that the metabolites from the detoxification of 1 by Pyriculariaoryzae are naringenin (2) and sternbin. In this study, we investigated whether the rice sheath blight fungus Rhizoctoniasolani, another major rice pathogen, can detoxify 1. The extract of R. solani suspension culture containing 1 was analyzed by LC-MS to...

Bean production is affected by a wide diversity of fungal pathogens, among them Rhizoctonia solani is one of the most important. A strategy to control bean infectious diseases, mainly those caused by fungi, is based on the use of biocontrol agents (BCAs) that can reduce the negative effects of plant pathogens and also can promote positive responses in the plant. Trichoderma is a fungal genus th...

abstract isolates of rhizoctonia spp., obtained from sugar beet roots and crowns with dry rot symptoms that had been collected from various sugar beet production regions in khorasan razavi province during 2008 and 2009, were investigated in this research. characterization by conventional techniques and molecular methods using species-specific primers was carried out. results showed that from 36...

HOWELL, C. R., and R. D. STIPANOVIC. 1979. Control of Rhizoctonia solani on cotton seedlings with Pseudomonasfluorescens and with an antibiotic produced by the bacterium. Phytopathology 69:480-482. A strain of Pseudomonasfluorescens antagonistic to Rhizoctonia solani Alternaria sp., and Verticillium dahliae. A Fusarium sp. was only partially was isolated from the rhizosphere of cotton seedlings...

The antagonistic activity of three bacterial isolates namely Microbacterium terregens, Cellulosimicrobium cellulans and Bacillus amylollquefaciens was evaluated through direct confrontation method and filtrates culture against the growth of Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani and Phytophthra cactorum. All bacterial isolates showed the inhibition of the mycelia growth of the ...
