This book was released on 2009-07-14 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is suf?cient need to document all the available data on biological control of rice diseases in a small volume. Part of this need rests on the global importance of rice to human life. In the ?rst chapter, I have tried to show that rice is indeed life for most people in Asia and shortages in production and availability can lead to a food crisis. While rice is cultivated in most continents, biological disease management attains special relevance to rice farmers of Africa, Asia, and also perhaps, Latin America. These farmers are resource-poor and might not be able to afford the cost of expensive chemical treatments to control devastating rice pathogens such as Magnaporthe oryzae (blast), Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (bacterial leaf blight), Rhizoctonia solani (sheath blight) and the virus, rice tungro disease. In an earlier volume that I developed under the title, Biological Control of Crop Diseases (Dekker/CRC Publishers, 2002), I included transgenic crops generated for the management of plant pathogens as biological control under the umbrella of a broad de?nition. Dr Jim Cook who wrote the Foreword for the volume lauded the inclusion of transgenic crops and induced systemic resistance (ISR) as a positive trend toward acceptance of host plant resistance as part of biocontrol. I continue to subscribe to this view.

Download or read book Mining for Biological Control Agents Against B. Glumae, the Causal Agent of Bacterial Panicle Blight of Rice written by Katherine Anne Wilkinson and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burkholderia glumae is the causal agent of the emerging disease, Bacterial Panicle Blight of rice, a serious disease that can significantly decrease yield and poses a threat to rice production worldwide. This thesis is concerned with searching for a biological control agent to control this disease. Plant associated microbes are a good source of beneficial bacteria which can be exploited for use as a biological control agent. It is possible that the microbiomes of cultivars which are known to be more resistant to plant pathogens may contain more microbes which inhibit those pathogens and therefore could be used as biological control agents in agriculture. This thesis can be divided into two parts, part one which is concerned with identifying inhibitory bacteria from the moderately resistant rice cultivar Jupiter and from the Rojas Lab collection, and part two which is concerned with identifying the mode of control these inhibitory bacteria use against B. glumae. The hypotheses for part one are that there are different rice associated bacteria present on the susceptible cultivar Bengal and the moderately resistant cultivar Jupiter, and that the rice associated bacteria unique to Jupiter add to its resistance to the pathogen. The hypotheses for part two are that the inhibitory bacteria identified in part one use either competition or antibiosis to inhibit B. glumae. These hypotheses were tested using a variety of experiments including microbiome isolation, inhibition assays, plant inoculations and inhibitory compound isolation experiments to find bacteria which could control B. glumae, and to discover their mechanisms of inhibition. Though the bacteria isolated from Bengal and Jupiter were comprised of different bacterial strains, the Jupiter-specific bacteria were not particularly good at inhibiting the growth of the pathogen. Two strains of bacteria from the Rojas lab collection, Burkholderia cenocepacia and Pseudomonas fluorsecens, however were found to be very successful at inhibiting the growth of B. glumae and successfully reduced symptoms of infection in vivo. Furthermore it was found that these two bacterial strains do in fact control B. glumae through the production of inhibitory compounds.

Download or read book Pseudomonas Syringae Pathovars and Related Pathogens written by K. Rudolph and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997-06-30 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decade, research on Pseudomonas syringae pathovars and related pathogens has progressed rapidly, opening up many new avenues. The application of molecular genetics has provided new insights into determinants of pathogenicity and virulence. Progress has also been made in elucidating the chemical structures and modes of action of phytotoxins from Pseudomonas syringae; by establishing novel strategies for disease control; in biotechnological applications; by studying the resistant reaction of the plant with a combined biochemical and genetic approach; and in the development of new detection and identification methodologies as tools in epidemiological studies. With such rapid advances it becomes more and more difficult to keep abreast of the developments and concepts within disciplines, all involving research on pathovars of P. syringae. In an attempt to provide a balanced overview, recent developments in these rapidly expanding fields have been critically reviewed at the beginning of each chapter by internationally renowned experts. Our comprehensive coverage has been made possible because all the contributors to this volume presented their latest findings at the `5th International Conference on Pseudomonas syringae Pathovars and Related Pathogens' in Berlin, September 3-8, 1995. In this way, it was possible to bring together contributions from a wide range of fields including phytopathology, genetics, bacteriology, plant breeding, plant protection, and taxonomy. This book is not intended simply as a record of the proceedings of the Berlin Conference, but as an extension of recent findings and hypotheses put forward at the meeting. All papers published in this volume have been reviewed by the Editors.
