Use of local rice cultivars as additional differentials to identify pathotypes of Pyricularia oryzae

Abstract

Eight additional rice cultivars as differentials were selected to identify pathotypes occurring in the Tocantins State. They were BRS Jaburu, BRS Taim, BRS Biguá, BR IRGA-417, Epagri 109, Javaé, Metica-1 and Supremo. These differentials were used in addition to the international set to determine the pathogenic diversity of 193 Pyricularia oryzae isolates collected during 1994-2002 from irrigated rice cultivars. They were conserved in Pyricularia culture collection of Embrapa Rice and Bean Research center. From 193 P. oryzae isolates 38 pathotypes were identified based on leaf blast reactions of international set and 29 pathotypes based on these additional differentials. The predominant pathotypes (TI-1, TG-2, TD-15 and TF-2) were represented by 53% of the tested isolates. The major international pathotypes (IB-45, IB-41, II-1 and ID-13) were represented by 43% of the isolates tested. The virulence pattern of 28 isolates belonging to the pathotype IB-45 was further differentiated into nine local pathotypes using additional set of differentials. The irrigated rice cultivars used as additional differentials serve as complementary set to identify pathotypes of interest for breeding blast resistant cultivars for Tocantins State.Key words: Pyricularia grisea, rice leaf blast, physiologic races, Oryza sativa, virulence, resistance, differential varieties. Uso de cultivares local de arroz como diferenciadoras adicionais para identificar patótipos de Pyricularia oryzae ResumoUm conjunto de oito cultivares diferenciadoras de arroz irrigado foi selecionado como diferenciadoras adicionais para identificar patótipos que ocorrem no Estado do Tocantins. As cultivares foram BRS Jaburu, BRS Taim, BRS Biguá, BR IRGA-417, Epagri 109, Javaé, Metica-1 e Supremo. A diversidade patogênica dos 193 isolados Pyricularia oryzae, coletados de cultivares de arroz irrigado durante 1994 a 2002 e conservados na coleção de cultura de Pyricularia do Centro de Pesquisa de Arroz e Feijão, foi avaliada utilizando oito cultivares diferenciadoras adicionais. Foram identificados 38 patótipos utilizando as cultivares diferenciadoras internacionais e 29 patótipos com as diferenciadoras adicionais. Os patótipos predominantes foram TI-1, TG-2, TD-15 e TF-2 representando 53% do total de isolados testados. Com as diferenciadoras internacionais os predominantes foram IB-45, IB-41, II-1 e ID-13 representando 43% dos isolados avaliados. O padrão de virulência dos 28 isolados pertencente ao patótipo IB-45 foi divido em nove patótipos quando foi utilizado as diferenciadoras adicionais. As cultivares de arroz irrigado usadas como diferenciadoras adicionais servem como um conjunto complementar para detectar patótipos de interesse para o melhoramento genético do Estado do Tocantins.

Phylogenetic diversity and sensitivity to MBI and QoI fungicides of <i>Magnaporthe oryzae</i> in Taiwan

“…Previous studies also indicated that the high diversity of pathogenicity or molecular lineage of M. oryzae could be induced by different rice cultivars. [5][6][7]12) Our results demonstrated that the isolates of M. oryzae from Chiayi were diversely associated with a number of rice cultivars, and the predominant groups were distributed over the rice production area.…”

“…3,4) Recent studies also showed that pathogenicity of P. oryzae to different rice cultivars or lines differs in different countries, including Argentina, 5) Brazil, [6][7][8] China, 9) USA, 10) Thailand, 11) and Vietnam. 12) In Taiwan, more than 78 races of P. oryzae had been identified using 8 standard lines of rice as differentials.…”
