... They also reported that the highest mycelium growth of A. alternata was observed at 25 °C, while the radial growth at 10 °C was approximately 30% of the maximum, while Pennypacker, (1988) showed that conidia germination of A. solani occurred at temperatures fluctuated 10-32 °C, with highest percentage of conidia germination at 25 °C. Similar results were also produced by Orozco-Avitia et al. (2013) and Grosch and Kofort (2003), who found the colony growth rate of R. solani isolates, measured in potatoagar-dextrose cultures, increased as temperature increased up to 30 °C, showing the highest values between 20-25 °C.

Preharvest fruit rots are serious tomato diseases. This study showed that Botrytis cinerea was a significant problem, and that Alternaria ( A. alternata, A. solani ) was the main pathogen identified from tomatoes showing the symptoms of preharvest fruit rots. Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia solani were also found causing important preharvest fruit rots in tomatoes. This is the first time F. oxysporum and R. solani have been identified in Greece as pathogens causing preharvest fruit rots on tomatoes. The optimal temperatures for A. alternata, A. solani, B. cinerea , and F. oxysporum mycelial growth and conidial germination were generally found to be between 20 and 30 °C, while the wetness duration of 24 hours seemed to be optimal for conidial germination and 84 hours for R. solani sclerotial germination. Based on the above findings, logistic regression models that adequately described the impact of pre-inoculation temperature and wetness on infection incidence in tomato fruit can be created. As the minimum, maximum, optimal temperatures and wetness duration are generally similar for the main pathogens causing preharvest fruit rots in tomato, it is possibly to develop a predicting predictive model to forecast the preharvest infection of tomato fruit. So enabling advice to be given to growers to when control methods should be applied.
... In nature, R. solani reproduces asexually and exists primarily as vegetative mycelium and/ or as sclerotia (Anderson, 1982;Ajayi-Oyetunde and Bradley, 2018). R. solani is present in most soils, and most members of this species complex have an optimal activity between 15 and 25 C in humid and wet soil conditions (Orozco-Avitia et al., 2013). ...

Rhizoctonia solani is a soilborne pathogen with a broad host range. An anastomosis group (AG) system based on hyphal fusions has been established to distinguish between different R. solani subgroups in this species complex. Members of the AG2-2IIIB subgroup can cause serious problems in sugar beet production, resulting in Rhizoctonia root and crown rot. In this review, we summarize the current molecular advances in the R. solani sugar beet pathosystem. The draft genome of R. solani AG2-2IIIB has an estimated size of 56.02 Mb, larger than any of the R. solani AGs sequenced to date. The genome of AG2-2IIIB has been predicted to harbor 11,897 protein-encoding genes, including a high number of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). The highest number of CAZymes was observed for polysaccharide lyase family 1 (PL-1), glycoside hydrolase family 43 (GH-43), and carbohydrate esterase family 12 (CE-12). Eleven single-effector candidates were predicted based on AG2-2IIIB genome data. The RsLysM, RsRlpA, and RsCRP1 genes were highly induced upon early-stage infection of sugar beet seedlings, and heterologous expression in Cercospora beticola and model plant species demonstrated their involvement in virulence. However, despite the progress achieved thus far on the molecular interactions in this pathosystem, many aspects remain to be elucidated, including the development of efficient transformation systems, important for functional studies, and the silencing of undesirable traits in the sugar beet crop.

The goal of this study was to characterize diversity of fungal biota in soil, roots and green leaves of onion plant. Seventy- nine fungal species belonging to 32 genera were isolated from soil (29 genera and 72 species), rhizosphere (25 and 52), rhizoplane (24 and 38), phyllosphere (17 and 41) and phylloplane (17 and 35) on PDA medium at 19º and 28ºC. The number of fungal genera and species in soil was higher than those on roots and leaves, while those on the surface of roots (rhizosphere) or leaves (phyllosphere) were higher than those adhering to roots (rhizoplane) or leaves (phylloplane). Aspergillus (A. niger and A. terreus), followed by Penicillium (P. funiculosum and P. chrysogenum), Rhizopus (R. stolonifer) and Fusarium (F. oxysporum) were the most common fungi. A new record species is reported for the first time to Egypt namely, Zopfiella latipes (from phylloplane of onion).

A biopesticide prototype consisting on a dry powder formulation based upon a combination of the Colombian isolates T. koningiopsis (TH003) and baculovirus (PhopGV-VG003) was developed to control simultaneously Rhizoctonia solani and Tecia solanivora on potato. Results showed that efficacy of the bioproduct to control both agents were at least 80% in seed-tubers stored for one month. For those seed-tubers treated with the prototype and then planted in soil infested with R. solani under greenhouse conditions, the results showed that the product had at least an 85% of efficacy. In conclusion, a formulation based on both biocontrol agents demonstrated its potential for controlling both pathogen and pest, suggesting that this approach is better than use single organisms in an Integrated Pest Management program.

Sheath blight (ShB) caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA, narrow brown leaf spot (NBLS) caused by Cercospora janseana and fertility are among the most important factors limiting rice production in the U.S. Greenhouse experiments were conducted to better understand the effects of temperature and cultivar resistance on the biocontrol efficacy of Bacillus subtilis strain MBI 600 for management of ShB. Also, lab and field trials were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of fungicides for control of C. janseana and NBLS. In addition, greenhouse and field trials were conducted to explore the use of microalgae-based biofertilizers for rice production. In the first study in the greenhouse, plants of two rice cultivars (moderately resistant and susceptible to ShB) were spray treated with strain MBI 600 and subjected to different temperatures for 24 hours in dew growth chambers. Disease severity was assessed after 8 days of incubation. In the second study under in vitro conditions, fungicide sensitivity of C. janseana based on the percentage relative germination and the effective concentration that inhibited 50% of conidia germination were assessed. A field trial was also conducted in 2012 and 2014 to evaluate the efficacy of fungicides for control of NBLS and yield improvement. In the third study, greenhouse and field trials were conducted to evaluate the effects of N2-fixing cyanobacterial biofertilizer, microalgal biomass concentrate, and urea fertilizer on rice plant height and yield. In the first study, temperature significantly affected the relative biocontrol efficacy of strain MBI 600 in reducing ShB development in either cultivar. Its efficacy linearly increased with the increase of temperature, reaching the maximum at 35 or 40°C. In the second study, the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicides fluxapyroxad and flutolanil were most and least effective, respectively, in inhibiting C. janseana conidia, indicating that there was no cross-resistance between fluxapyroxad and flutolanil. Fluxapyroxad, propiconazole alone and in combination with azoxystrobin iii or trifloxystrobin were highly effective controlling NBLS. However, azoxystrobin was not effective to control NBLS. In the third study in the greenhouse, microalgal biomass concentrate treatment significantly improved rice plant height. However, no biofertilizer treatments improved rice yield in the field. El tizón de la vaina causada por Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA, la cercosporiosis causada por Cercospora janseana y la fertilidad son los factores más importantes que limitan la producción de arroz en los Estados Unidos. Experimentos bajo condiciones de invernadero se llevaron a cabo para entender mejor los efectos de la temperatura y la resistencia del cultivar en la eficacia del control biológico Bacillus subtilis cepa deMBI 600 para el manejo del tizón de la vaina. Además, se realizaron ensayos bajo condiciones de laboratorio y campo para evaluar la eficacia de los fungicidas para el control de C. janseana y cercosporiosis. Además, se llevaron a cabo ensayos de invernadero y de campo para explorar el uso de biofertilizantes a base de microalgas para la producción de arroz. En el primer estudio en el invernadero, plantas de dos cultivares de arroz (cultivar moderadamente resistente y susceptible al tizón de la vaina) fueron rociadas con la cepa MBI 600 y se sometieron a diferentes temperaturas durante 24 horas en cámaras de crecimiento con humedad. La severidad de la enfermedad se evaluó después de 8 días de incubación. En el segundo estudio en condiciones in vitro, se evaluó la sensibilidad de C. janseana a fungicidas basados en el porcentaje relativo de germinación y la concentración efectiva que inhibe el 50% de esporulación. También se realizó una prueba de campo en el 2012 y 2014 para evaluar la eficacia de los fungicidas para el control de la cercosporiosis y mejora del rendimiento. En el tercer estudio, se llevaron a cabo ensayos de invernadero y de campo para evaluar los efectos del biofertilizante de cianobacterias fijadoras de N2, concentrado de biomasa de microalgas y el fertilizante urea en la altura de la planta de arroz y su rendimiento. En el primer estudio, la temperatura influyó significativamente en la eficacia relativa del control biológico de la cepa MBI 600 en la reducción del desarrollo del tizón de la vaina en cualquier cultivar. Su eficacia aumentó linealmente con el aumento de la temperatura, alcanzando el máximo a 35 o 40 ° C. En el segundo estudio, el fungicida a base del inhibidor de succinato deshidrogenasa, fluxapiroxad y flutolanil fue el más y menos efectivo, respectivamente, en la inhibición de conidios de C.janseana, indicando que no había ninguna resistencia cruzada entre fluxapiroxad y flutolanil. Fluxapiroxad, propiconazole solo y en combinación con azoxistrobina o trifloxistrobina fueron muy eficaces para controlar cercosporiosis. Sin embargo, azoxistrobina no fue eficaz para controlar cercosporiosis. En el tercer estudio en el invernadero, el tratamiento a base de concentrado de biomasa de microalgas mejoró significativamente la altura de la planta de arroz. Sin embargo, ningún tratamiento a bacse de biofertilizante mejoró la producción de arroz en el campo.

Isolates of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana originated from Jordan were evaluated for their efficacy against the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. Efficacy evaluation involved testing all isolates at a concentration of 1×107 conidia/mL followed by concentration dependent and greenhouse bioassays for the top virulent isolates. Growth characteristics related to virulence were evaluated for high, intermediate and low virulent isolates. Results showed that three isolates namely: BAU004, BAU018 and BAU019 were highly virulent to the aphid in the laboratory causing more than 75% infection. In the greenhouse, the three isolates caused infection from 41.3 to 46.5%. For the growth characteristics, isolate BAU019 produced more spores than the other highly virulent ones including the commercial isolate GHA. Highly virulent isolates also showed faster hyphal growth than low virulent isolates. These findings indicate that isolates BAU004, Bau018 and BAU019 might be developed as commercial microbial insecticides for safe and effective control of green peach aphid.
