Dickeya zeae is a phytopathogenic bacterium causing soft rot diseases in a wide range of economically important crops. Here we present the draft genome sequence of strain ZJU1202, which is the causal agent of rice foot rot in China. The draft genome will contribute to epidemiological and comparative genomic studies and the quarantine of this devastating phytopathogen.

abstract the root and foot rot of wheat is one of the important disease of wheat over the world. the root and foot rot of wheat observed more frequently in the resent years at khorasan province (northeast of iran). for investigation the causal agents, several samples were collected from wheat fields of north khorasan in 2007 and 2008. culture of diseased parts of plants on pda resulted. fusariu...

In vitro studies with Trichoderma spp., soil-borne fungal antagonists, demonstrated that a number of isolates produced volatile and non-volatile metabolites capable of inhibiting the growth and sporulation of several soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi. Microscopic observations showed that T. harzianm and T. viride, isolated from soil samples from Ahwaz and Karaj, adversely affected the myce...

to study the population structure of gibberella fujikuroi species complex, the causal agent of rice foot rot, samples were taken from different rice growing regions of guilan province in 2004. among fourty-one isolates recovered from different cultivars; three isolates did not produce microconidial chain. in order to study the sexual fertility and determine the mating type as well as mating pop...

Fusarium fujikuroi, the causal agent of foot rot disease, infects all parts rice, causing serious yield losses in different world. In order to understand basis disease tolerance, various biochemical and anatomical traits ten days old healthy infected basmati non-basmati rice seedlings were compared. Total soluble sugar content was higher seedlings, while total phenols, orthodihydroxy phenols pr...

The root endophytic fungus, Piriformospora indica, colonizes roots of a large number of plant species including Cereals and Brasicaceae. There are several reports indicating that P. indica protects roots from different path- ogens. In the present study, rice plants were pre-inoculated with P. indica and were subsequently infected with Fusarium proliferatum, as the causal agent of root rot and c...
