Relato de Rhizoctonia solani AG-4 HG I em crisântemo (Papiro Branco e Amarelo) e R. solani AG-4 HG III em gipsófila no estado de São Paulo, Brasil, e sua patogenicidade cruzada

Currently, anastomosis groups (AG) of Rhizoctonia sp. on chrysanthemum and occurrence of this fungus on gypsophila have not been reported in Brazil. However, in the present study, normal and cross pathogenicity and sequencing of ITS-5.8S rDNA regions were used to confirm the AG of isolate of Rhizoctonia sp. obtained from chrysanthemum (White Papyrus) and from gypsophila plants cultivated in Holambra / São Paulo, Brazil. After these tests, it was confirmed the report of Rhizoctonia solani AG-4 HG I on chrysanthemum (White and Yellow Papyrus) and R. solani AG-4 HG III on gypsophila in the São Paulo state, Brazil, and also their cross pathogenicity.

Rhizoctonia solani as causative agent of damping off of Swiss chard in Europe

During September 2011, post-emergence damping off of Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla L.) was observed in a greenhouse in Villa del Prado (Spain). About 20% of the seedlings showed damping off symptoms. Lesions were initially water soaked, dark brown necrosis of crown tissue, irregular in shape and sunken in appearance on large plants, causing the infected seedlings to collapse and eventually die. Rhizoctonia solani was isolated consistently from symptomatic plants. After morphological and molecular identification of the isolates, pathogenicity was tested by placing agar plugs of four isolates adjacent to the stem at the three or four true leaf stage. In inoculated plants, brown crown and stem necrosis occurred while control plants did not show disease symptoms. Pathogenicity using non-germinated seeds was also tested. All four isolates produced extensive damping off when inoculated on non-germinated seeds. To our knowledge, this is the first report of damping off of Swiss chard caused by R. solani in Europe.

A double-stranded RNA element from a hypovirulent strain of Rhizoctonia solani occurs in DNA form and is genetically related to the pentafunctional AROM protein of the shikimate pathway

M2 is a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) element occurring in the hypovirulent isolate Rhs 1A1 of the plant pathogenic basidiomycete Rhizoctonia solani. Rhs 1A1 originated as a sector of the virulent field isolate Rhs 1AP, which contains no detectable amount of the M2 dsRNA. The complete sequence (3,570 bp) of the M2 dsRNA has been determined. A 6.9-kbp segment of total DNA from either Rhs 1A1 or Rhs 1AP hybridizes with an M2-specific cDNA probe. The sequences of M2 dsRNA and of PCR products generated from Rhs 1A1 total DNA were found to be identical. Thus this report describes a fungal host containing full-length DNA copies of a dsRNA element. A major portion of the M2 dsRNA is located in the cytoplasm, whereas a smaller amount is found in mitochondria. Based on either the universal or the mitochondrial genetic code of filamentous fungi, one strand of M2 encodes a putative protein of 754 amino acids. The resulting polypeptide has all four motifs of a dsRNA viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RDRP) and is phylogenetically related to the RDRP of a mitochondrial dsRNA associated with hypovirulence in strain NB631 of Cryphonectria parasitica, incitant of chestnut blight. This polypeptide also has significant sequence similarity with two domains of a pentafunctional polypeptide, which catalyzes the five central steps of the shikimate pathway in yeast and filamentous fungi.

Characterisation of Rhizoctonia solani isolates causing root canker of lucerne in Australia

The fungus causing Rhizoctonia root canker of lucerne in western Queensland has been characterised as a new subgroup within anastomosis group (AG 6) of Rhizoctonia solani. Isolates from two sites showed identical rDNA ITS sequence homology but could be differentiated based on DNA fingerprints. The lucerne isolates did not cause disease on wheat, indicating they are genetically different from the AG 6 subgroup that causes crater disease on wheat in South Africa. Root canker symptoms were produced on all commercial Australian cultivars of lucerne tested.

Aspectos biológicos y epidemiológicos de enfermedades del tabaco causadas por Rhizoctonia solani, en el noroeste argentino

Las enfermedades en tabaco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), causadas por Rhizoctonia solani Künh, y en importancia de prevalencia la podredumbre radicular, son las enfermedades que causan mayores pérdidas en la producción. Cuanto mayor es el conocimiento de todas las características de una epidemia, más completa es la visión de la estructura del comportamiento del patosistema para poder desarrollar estrategias de manejo de la enfermedad. Por ello este trabajo de tesis se planteó diferentes objetivos, determinar la modelización espacial de la enfermedad en las provincias de Salta y Jujuy, obteniendo por geoestadística una distribución agregada en el inicio de la epidemia y aleatoria en con el avance temporal, ajustándose al modelo exponencial, asociado a factores de manejo y ambientales. Asimismo se realizó un análisis de las secuencias de ADNr-ITS, morfología y pruebas de patogenicidad que permitieron la identificación de R. solani AG 4 HG-I, AG 2-1 y AG 4 HG-III como causantes de enfermedad en tabaco en el NOA. En los aislamientos determinados como R.solani, los marcadores ISSR permitieron detectar gran variabilidad genética, la cual estaría influenciada por la existencia de diferentes factores como ser el flujo génico por dispersión de propagulos y las prácticas de manejo. Finalmente el análisis de la dinámica temporal de epidemias permitió interpretar y entender el comportamiento de la enfermedad en diferentes materiales genéticos de tabaco, generando una importante base de información para la toma de decisiones en la generación de una estrategia de manejo de la patología. La información generada contribuye al conocimiento del sistema epidemiológico y recalca la necesidad de encarar estudios que integren a la unidad de producción a un contexto regional, teniendo en cuenta que el patosistema debe ser abordado como parte reconocida de una complejidad biológica intrínseca a la sanidad.
