Stachybotrys elegans is able to parasitize the fungal plant pathogen Rhizoctonia solani AG-3 following a complex and intimate interaction, which, among others, includes the production of cell wall-degrading enzymes, intracellular colonization, and expression of pathogenic process encoding genes. However, information on the metabolome level is non-existent during mycoparasitism. Here, we perform...

A Myceliophthora thermophila laccase and a Rhizoctonia solani laccase were mutated on a pentapeptide segment believed to be near the type-1 Cu site. The mutation L513F in Myceliophthora laccase and the mutation L470F in Rhizoctonia laccase took place at a position corresponding to the type-1 Cu axial methionine (M517) ligand in Zucchini ascorbate oxidase. The triple mutations V509L,S510E,G511A ...

Bacillus subtilis strain NCD-2 and Pseudomonas protegens FD6 produce a range of antimicrobial metabolites known to be effective against soil-borne plant pathogens. Quantitative qPCR assays were designed from sequence characterized amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) diagnostic for each inoculant genotype. The minimum detection thresholds (MDT) ranged between 5.2 × 103 (log 3.71) 1.5 ...

Rhizoctonia cerealis and solani are considered to be among the most harmful soil-borne pathogens for crop plants globally. The lack of effective protection requirement minimize use chemical pesticides necessitate need develop alternative protective methods. One such method is resistance breeding against biotic abiotic stresses. Here, we present studies on presence traits in winter wheat genotyp...

Rhizoctonia solani isolates obtained from common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were included in an AG4 anastomosis group in accordance with hyphal anastomosis. In the subgrouping of AG4 isolates, PCR-RFLP patterns in the rDNA-ITS were used. After obtaining the genomic DNA belonging to R. solani AG4, an approximately 700 bp amplification product of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region was obtained with PCR...
