Bacillus velezensis CBMB205 (= KACC 13105(T) = NCCB 100236(T)) was isolated from the rhizoplane of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. O-dae). According to previous studies, this bacterium has several genes that can promote plant growth, such as the phosphorus-solubilizing protein-coding gene. Here, we present the first complete genome of B. velezensis CBMB205.

The Pyricularia genus includes several pathogenic fungi species that are associated with blast disease in more than 50 Poaceae plants (Ou 1985). Among these species, Pyricularia oryzae is the most important pathogen, due to its global distribution on plants from the Poaceae family. The blast disease caused by P. oryzae is responsible for severe losses in crops of high economic importance such a...

Previous studies based on morphological and molecular markers indicated that there are two cultivated and five wild rice species within the Oryza genus with the AA genome. In the cultivated rice species, Oryza sativa, a retroposon named p-SINE1 has been identified. Some of the p-SINE1 members characterized previously showed interspecific insertion polymorphisms in the species with the AA genome...

Wing (eds.), Genetics and Genomics of Rice, Plant Genetics and Genomics: Crops and Models 5, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4614-7903-1_2, © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 The wild species of the genus Oryza serve as a virtually untapped reservoir of genetic diversity that can be used to improve the world’s most important food crop—rice. The genus is composed of two domestic...

A huge amount of cDNA and EST resources have been developed for cultivated rice species Oryza sativa; however, only few cDNA resources are available for wild rice species. In this study, we isolated and completely sequenced 1888 putative full-length cDNA (FLcDNA) clones from wild rice Oryza rufipogon Griff. W1943 for comparative analysis between wild and cultivated rice species. Two cDNA librar...

Repeated application of diazinon granules to the soil Surface of rice fields affected the development of a biological factor that caused rapid degradation of diazinon. This factor was present in the paddy water, in rhizosphere soil of the rice plant, and in nonrhizosphere soils. Isotope studies showed that when incubated with water from diazinon-treated fields, diazinon was hydrolyzed to 2-isop...
