Morphogenetic effects induced by pathogenic and non pathogenicRhizoctonia solaniKühn strains on tomato roots

Abstract: -The effects of two Rhizoctonia solani Kü hn isolates on root colonization and morphology of in vitro grown tomato plants were compared. Pathogenic hyphae (R1556) penetrated and filled all the parenchyma cells of the cortex and of the central cylinder; the vessel elements underwent a significant degradation. Several brownish sclerotia and cushion formations were observed. Roots colonized by the non-pathogenic strain showed phytoplane non-pathogenic growth: hyphae occurred in the external root portion and in a … Show more

“…In an evaluation of virulence of Pythium debaryanum and Pythium ultimum (causal agents of root rot) on T. aestivum , plants with high root length had less fungal infection ( Higginbotham et al, 2004 ). In contrast, infection of Rhizoctonia solani (causal agent of root rot) on S. lycopersicum caused reduction in total root length, number of root tips, and magnitude of root branching, which compromised water exploration from deep soil layers and consequently the shoot growth ( Berta et al, 2005 ; Simonetta et al, 2007 ). Thus there seems to be a correlation between RLD and the extent of pathogen infection by root infecting fungi.…”

“…Such impacts can be either direct (higher density of susceptible tissue in dense canopies) or mediated by altered microclimate gradients within canopies [3]. Conversely, architectural traits can Genes 2023, 14, 1399 2 of 26 be modified by the development of epidemics as evidenced for the root architecture of tomato [4,5], pea [6], or Medicago truncatula [7]. Similar effects are noted in aerial diseases, leading to partial or complete defoliation of the host.…”

“…It causes very serious diseases of wide varieties of plants ranging from damping-off till stem canker led to dramatic effects on plant nutrition and its physiology (Baker, 1970;Hanounik, 1978;Anderson, 1982;Salt, 1982;Ogoshi, 1987, Wallwork, 1996Hsiang et al, 2006, Simonetta et al, 2007Kammerer and Harmon, 2008). Infection structure of this fungus was studied either under light microscopy or by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).…”
