Bakanae disease, one of the most noteworthy seedborne rice diseases, is caused by Fusarium fujikuroi, a member of the Gibberella fujikuroi species complex. The decreasing availability of chemical seed-dressing products over the last few years has raised the concerns of rice seed companies regarding bakanae disease. Therefore, new research trends require a deeper investigation into the main aspe...

In our previous study, we reported that a novel endophytic bacterium Bacillus oryzicola YC7007 has suppressed bacterial diseases of rice via induced systemic resistance and antibiotic production. This endophytic strain, B. oryzicola YC7007 was used as a biological control agent against bakanae disease of rice caused by Fusarium fujikuroi, and its mechanism of interaction with the pathogen and t...

Bakanae disease is an emerging problem of Basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.) in India and most the basmati varieties are susceptible to this disease. Present study was carried out evaluate identify effective fungicide against bakanae for which 12 fungicides (single combination) were evaluated as seedling treatments during rainy (kharif) season year 2019 2020. Minimum incidence observed with Carbend...

Bakanae disease is a fungal of rice (Oryza sativa L.) caused by the pathogen Gibberella fujikuroi (also known as Fusarium fujikuroi). This study was carried out to identify novel quantitative trait loci (QTLs) from an indica variety Zenith. We performed QTL mapping using 180 F2:9 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived cross between resistant variety, Zenith, and susceptible Ilpum. A primary ge...

Fusarium fujikuroi causes bakanae ("foolish seedling") disease of rice which is characterized by hyper-elongation of seedlings resulting from production of gibberellic acids (GAs) by the fungus. This plant pathogen is also known for production of harmful mycotoxins, such as fusarins, fusaric acid, apicidin F and beauvericin. Recently, we generated the first de novo genome sequence of F. fujikur...
