Certain plant-associated strains of fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. are known to produce the antimicrobial antibiotic 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG). It has antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antihelminthic properties and has played a significant role in the biological control of tobacco, wheat, and sugar beet diseases. It has never been reported from India and has not been implicated in the biological suppression of a major disease of the rice crop. Here, we report that a subpopulation of 27 strains of plant-associated Pseudomonas fluorescens screened in a batch of 278 strains of fluorescent pseudomonads produced DAPG. The DAPG production was detected by a PCR-based screening method that used primers Phl2a and Phl2b and amplified a 745-bp fragment characteristic of DAPG. HPLC,1H NMR, and IR analyses provided further evidence for its production. We report also that this compound inhibited the growth of the devastating rice bacterial blight pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae in laboratory assays and suppressed rice bacterial blight up to 59%–64% in net-house and field experiments. Tn5 mutants defective in DAPG production (Phl–) of P. fluorescens PTB 9 were much less effective in their suppression of rice bacterial blight.Key words: biocontrol, 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol, Pseudomonas fluorescens, rice, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae.

Attempts were made to isolate beneficial bio agents from rice rhizosphere which resulted in isolation of  46 Bacillus spp and 15 fluorescent Pseudomonas spp which were further investigated for their potential aginst BB of rice diseaseAmong twenty six isolates of Bacillus, two isolates were most antagonistic and showed highest inhibition percentage (57.09) The potential isolates of Pseudomonas (P-4, P-5, P-6, P-7 and P-8), Bacillus (ARI 1-2, ARI 2-4, ARI 1-3, D1-1-2 and D2-1-1) were tested in vivo under glass house conditions for antagonism against Xoo which revealed that P-7 was effective in reduction of lesion length (18.5cm) when compared to control (20.37cm). The potential isolates of Pseudomonas (P-4, P-5, P-6, P-7 and P-8), Bacillus (ARI 1-2, ARI 2-4, ARI 1-3, D1-1-2 and D2-1-1) were tested in vivo under glass house conditions for antagonism against Xoo which revealed that P-7 was effective in reduction of lesion length (18.5cm) when compared to control (20.37cm). The present study indicated that PGPR isolates P-4, P-6, P-7 and P-8 can be used as biofertilizers, which will add up for enhanced growth of rice.

AbstractThe rice bacterial blight pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) injects transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) that bind and activate host ‘susceptibility’ (S) genes important for disease. Clade III SWEET genes are major S genes for bacterial blight. The resistance genes xa5, which reduces TALE activity generally, and xa13, a SWEET11 allele not recognized by the cognate TALE, have been effectively deployed. However, strains that defeat both resistance genes individually were recently reported in India and Thailand. To gain insight into the mechanism(s), we completely sequenced the genome of one such strain from each country and examined the encoded TALEs. Strikingly, the two strains are clones, sharing nearly identical TALE repertoires, including a TALE known to activate SWEET11 strongly enough to be effective even when diminished by xa5. We next investigated SWEET gene induction by the Indian strain. The Indian strain induced no clade III SWEET in plants harbouring xa13, indicating a pathogen adaptation that relieves dependence on these genes for susceptibility. The findings open a door to mechanistic understanding of the role SWEET genes play in susceptibility and illustrate the importance of complete genome sequence-based monitoring of Xoo populations in developing varieties with effective disease resistance.

About 200 isolates of the bacterial blight pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae were obtained from infected rice (Oryza sativa L.) leaf samples from the Palghat District of Kerala State in southern India during January and February, 1998, when there was a severe epidemic of bacterial blight in the farmers' fields. One hundred and forty of these isolates were assayed for pathogenicity on rice cv. IR24 (no R gene), IRBB21 (Xa21), and NH56 (Xa4+xa5+xa13+Xa21) at their maximum tillering stage by the standard clip-inoculation technique (1) at the Regional Agricultural Research Station (Kerala Agricultural University), Pattambi. In two separate experiments, all the isolates were found to be pathogenic to IR24, producing lesions greater than 10 cm in length. None of the isolates induced susceptible symptoms on cv. NH56 and the average lesion length was less than 2 cm. Twenty of the 140 isolates, however, showed virulence to IRBB21 (seeds supplied by S. R. McCouch, Cornell University, and by P. Ronald, University of California-Davis) and induced lesions of 10.0 to 18.0 cm. We report here the presence of Indian races of X. oryzae pv. oryzae that are virulent to IRBB21 (Xa21), contradicting an earlier report of avirulence (2). These results suggest that the deployment of Xa21 alone will not be a sound strategy for the management of bacterial blight in southern India. References: (1) S. S. Gnanamanickam et al.
