An In-Depth Study of Phytopathogenic Ganoderma: Pathogenicity, Advanced Detection Techniques, Control Strategies, and Sustainable Management

Journal of Fungi, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10(6), P. 414 - 414

Published: June 7, 2024

Phytopathogenic Ganoderma species pose a significant threat to global plant health, resulting in estimated annual economic losses exceeding USD (US Dollars) 68 billion the agriculture and forestry sectors worldwide. To combat this pervasive menace effectively, comprehensive understanding of biology, ecology, infection mechanisms these pathogens is imperative. This review critically examines various aspects spp., including their intricate life cycle, disease mechanisms, multifaceted environmental factors influencing spread. Recent studies have quantified impact infections, revealing staggering yield ranging from 20% 80% across crops. In particular, oil palm plantations suffer devastating losses, with an reduction 50 million metric tons. Moreover, elucidates dynamic interactions between host plants, delineating pathogen’s colonization strategies its elicitation defense responses. analysis underscores imperative for adopting integrated approach management. By synergistically harnessing cultural practices, biological control, chemical treatments by deploying resistant varieties, substantial strides can be made mitigating infestations. Furthermore, collaborative effort involving scientists, breeders, growers paramount development implementation sustainable against pernicious pathogen. Through rigorous scientific inquiry evidence-based we strive towards safeguarding health dire consequences inflicted infections.

Unraveling the Association between Metabolic Changes in Inter-Genus and Intra-Genus Bacteria to Mitigate Clubroot Disease of Chinese Cabbage

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 11(12), P. 2424 - 2424

Published: Nov. 28, 2021

Clubroot disease caused by the obligate parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae is a serious threat to cabbage production worldwide. Current clubroot control primarily relies on fungicide, but this has negative impact environment and use of single biocontrol agent cannot efficiently disease. Thus, combined application different agents been proposed as promising alternative. In study, we used bacterial co-culture (inter-genus intra-genus) mono-culture mitigate Chinese cabbage. We evaluated their effect plant growth promoter (PGP) traits in vitro vivo experiments. This study revealed that inter-genus significantly suppresses incidence enhances compared with intra-genus mono-culture. pairwise interaction, observed Bacillus cereus BT-23 promotes Lysobacter antibioticus 13-6 co-culture), whereas L. capsici ZST1-2 (intra-genus microbial co-culture) are antagonists each other. Furthermore, total 5575 metabolites, 732 differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs), 510 unique were detected through LC-MS/MS technique co-culture. The number (393 metabolites) was higher than (117 metabolites). Further analysis DEMs showed mainly involved four kinds metabolism pathways, i.e., carbohydrate metabolism, amino nucleotide cofactors vitamins. contents some secondary activity growth-promoting functions increased co-culture, indicating solid potential suppress conclude interaction changes community improves several respect PGP ability.

Basal Stem Rot of Oil Palm: The Pathogen, Disease Incidence, and Control Methods

Plant Disease, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 107(3), P. 603 - 615

Published: July 12, 2022

Basal stem rot of oil palm caused by Ganoderma boninense is the most serious disease in Malaysia, Indonesia, and other oil-palm-producing countries. Economic losses can be up to USD500 million a year. For many years, basal was found infect older trees more than 25 30 years age. Only 1950s, began appear much younger trees, 10 15 old, and, last decade or so, as young 1 year were infected disease. The highest incidence occurs coastal areas Southeast Asia but has now inland areas, mainly planted peat soils. Disease also high previously growing coconut forest. infection spread occur through root-to-root contact, basidiospores that colonize roots play role. In early stages G. boninense, pathogen behaves biotroph later necrotroph, secreting cell-wall-degrading enzymes triggering host defense responses. Genes, gene products, metabolic pathways involved mechanisms against have been identified these metabolites potential used markers for detection Integrated management control includes cultural practices, chemical control, application biocontrol agents fertilizers. Early tools developed could assist infections. Development resistant tolerant still at an stage; therefore, existing integrated practices remain appropriate methods managing palm.

Microbial community structure in rice rhizosheaths under drought stress

Journal of Plant Ecology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 16(5)

Published: March 24, 2023

Abstract Rhizosheaths can form on the surface of rice (Oryza sativa L.) roots and improve water-use efficiency under drought stress. The microbes in rhizosheaths also offer potential to increase resilience future drought. However, little is known about microbial community rhizosheath In this study, we compared root traits, formation three irrigation regimes, including well-watered treatments I II. plays important roles influencing composition co-occurrence networks. Drought promote accumulation beneficial microorganisms rhizosheaths, such as bacteria that are members phylum Patescibacteria Massilia, Nocardioides, Frateuria Angustibacter genera fungi genus Talaromyces. induce risk factors for harmful rhizosheaths. Our results suggest both resistance future, isolation application scientific planting methods should be studied green cultivation rice.
