Members of the form genus Rhizoctonia D.C. are considered as a complex mixture of filamentous fungi, having in common the possession of a non-spored imperfect state, usually referred to as the Rhizoctonia anamorph. The group includes several of the most devastating crop pathogens like Thanatephorus cucumeris (Frank) Donk (anamorph = Rhizoctonia solani Kühn), the majority of orchid mycorrhizal symbionts (mainly belonging to genus Ceratobasidium D.P. Rogers) and a collection of saprotrophic organisms of different systematic placement. The Rhizoctonia anamorph is characterized by several common features present among members of the entire Rhizoctonia species complex. Taxa from the group have been rearranged into several groups of higher fungi, including both Ascomycota and Basidiomycota, and split into several genera, employing criteria such as the analysis and ultrastructural comparison of septal apparatus. Until very recently, classification for some of the groups within the complex has been exclusively based on criteria such as hyphal anastomosis, since other types of diagnostic features are usually scarce in these fungi. Phytopathological studies in the complex have represented the major contingent of contributions in the group, especially in the case of R. solani. Some members of the complex have been reported to be protective isolates against pathogenic members of Rhizoctonia and some other fungal pathogens. This review focuses on the knowledge of several aspects of the species of Rhizcotonia s. lato, such as its current taxonomic placement, the biology and systematics of some groups of the complex, and a revision of the methodologies employed in studying it.Additional key words: Basidiomycetes, biocontrol, Ceratobasidiaceae, Ceratobasidium, fungal diseases, methodology, taxonomy, Thanatephorus. Resumen Biología y Sistemática del género forma RhizoctoniaLos miembros del género forma Rhizoctonia D.C. son considerados como un complejo de hongos filamentosos, presentando en común una fase asexual no productora de esporas, denominada anamorfo tipo Rhizoctonia. El grupo incluye algunos importantes patógenos como Thanatephorus cucumeris (Frank) Donk (anamorfo=Rhizoctonia solani Kühn), la mayoría de especies micorrícicas de orquídeas (principalmente del género Ceratobasidium D.P. Rogers), y algunos taxones de posición taxonómica variada. El anamorfo tipo Rhizoctonia es definido por una serie de características, presentes y comunes en todos los taxones del complejo. Los taxones del grupo han sido distribuidos entre varios grupos de hongos, incluyendo Ascomicetes y Basidiomicetes, y reubicados en varios géneros de ambas clases, empleando criterios de clasificación tales como el análisis y comparación de la ultraestructura del aparato septal. Habitualmente, la clasificación en algunos de los grupos del complejo ha estado basada en la aplicación de criterios tales como la anastomosis hifal, debido a que en este tipo de hongos es escasa la presencia de un número aceptable de caracteres diagnósticos.

“…For lupin, a higher ratio (1:10) of the binucleate to multinucleate AG was significantly more effective in providing protection and it appears that AG-Bo and AG-I are more effective than AG-A and AG-K. Although the potential use of binucleate Rhizoctonia AGs as biocontrol agents against multinucleate AGs has been investigated on other crops (Herr 1995), this appears to be the first report demonstrating a reduction in Rhizoctonia diseases of canola and lupin seedlings in response to soil inoculation with binucleate Rhizoctonia AG.…”

Several methods with potential for the management of Rhizoctonia diseases of canola and lupin including plant resistance, fungicide seed treatment and biological control using binucleate Rhizoctonia anastomosis groups (AGs) were evaluated under glasshouse conditions. Screening included the examination of resistance of eight canola and eight lupin cultivars/selections to damping-off and hypocotyl/root rot caused by the multinucleate Rhizoctonia solani AG-2-1, 2-2, 4 and 11. All canola cultivars were highly susceptible to AG-2-1, but Rocket, Spectrum and 44C11 were more resistant than the other cultivars. Spectrum and 44C73 were also more resistant to AG-4 than the other canola cultivars. On lupin, R. solani AG-2-2 and 4 were most virulent, and the cultivar Cedara 6150 and selection E16 were most resistant to AG-2-2; Cedara 6150, E16, Mandelup and Quilinock were more resistant to AG-4 than the other cultivars/selections. The Lupinus luteus selections, E80.1.1.2 and E82.1.1 were most susceptible to AG-2-2, 4 and 11. Seed treatment with the fungicides Cruiser OSR (a.i. difenconazole, fludioxonil, metalaxyl-M, thiamethoxam) and SA-combination (a. i. iprodione, metalaxyl, thiram) significantly increased survival of canola and lupin seedlings, decreased hypocotyl/root rot and improved the percentage of healthy seedlings, with the SA-combination being significantly more effective than Cruiser OSR. Application of the binucleate Rhizoctonia AGs (A, Bo, K and I) significantly increased the survival of lupin seedlings inoculated with R. solani AG-2-2 and 4, and AG-I and K significantly improved survival of canola in the presence of AG-4. This is the first report of the potential of binucleate AGs to protect canola and lupin seedlings against infection by multinucleate AGs.

“…In this study, among the two crops evaluated, a relatively higher incidence of binucleate AGs and lower incidences of multinucleate Rhizoctonia AGs were recorded on lupin and vice versa on canola. The greater overall incidence of binucleate compared to multinucleate isolates may reflect on the possible protection of plants against the more virulent multinucleate Rhizoctonia AGs by the less virulent binucleate AGs (Herr 1995), an aspect that will be evaluated later in this ongoing study.…”

Rhizoctonia spp. anastomosis groups (AGs) associated with canola and lupin in the southern and western production areas of the Western Cape province of South Africa were recovered during the 2006 and 2007 growing seasons and identified using sequence analyses of the rDNA internal transcribed spacer regions. The effect of crop rotation systems and tillage practices on the recovery of Rhizoctonia spp. was evaluated at Tygerhoek (southern Cape, Riviersonderend) and Langgewens (western Cape, Moorreesburg) experimental farms. Isolations were conducted from canola planted after barley, medic/ clover mixture and wheat, and lupin planted after barley and wheat, with sampling at the seedling, midseason and seedpod growth stages. In the 2006 study, 93.5% of the Rhizoctonia isolates recovered were binucleate and 6.5% multinucleate; in 2007, 72.8% were binucleate and 27.2% were multinucleate. The most abundant AGs within the population recovered included A, Bo, I and K, among binucleate isolates and 2-1, 2-2 and 11 among multinucleate isolates. Crop rotation sequence, tillage and plant growth stage at sampling all affected the incidence of recovery of Rhizoctonia, but certain effects were site-specific. The binucleate group was more frequently isolated from lupin and the multinucleate group from canola. AG-2-1 was only isolated from canola and AG-11 only from lupin. This study showed that important Rhizoctonia AGs such as AG-2-1, 2-2 and 11 occur in both the southern and the western production areas of the Western Cape province and that crop rotation consistently influences the incidence and composition of the Rhizoctonia community recovered from the cropping system.
