Abstract
The bakanae disease of rice, or foolish seedling disease, is a well-known pathogen infecting rice hosts. Several studies have characterized Fusarium fujikuroi isolates collected from distant geographical regions and within similar geographical areas for secondary metabolite production, population structure, and diversity analysis, but none have attempted to characterize the isolates for virulence in a differential set of rice genotypes. Based on the disease response, a set of five rice genotypes with differing resistance levels were selected as a differential set for further characterization of the pathogen. Ninety-seven Fusarium fujikuroi isolates collected from different rice-growing areas of the country during the years 2011 to 2020 were characterized and evaluated for bakanae disease. Rice genotypes PB1509 and C101A51 were found to be highly susceptible and highly resistant, respectively. Further, based on the disease response, the isolates were grouped into 15 pathotypes. Pathotype 1, with the maximum isolates (19), was observed to be most prevalent, followed by pathotypes 2 and 3. Pathotype 8 was classified as highly virulent, as all the genotypes were susceptible, except for C101A51. When we compared the pathotype distribution in different states, pathotypes 11 and 15 were found to have originated from the state of Punjab. A positive correlation could be established between six pathotype groups and the gene expression of virulence-related genes such as acetylxylan (FFAC), exopolygalacturanase (FFEX), and pisatin demethylase (FFPD). The present study provides the distribution profiles of different pathotypes in Basmati-growing states of India, which will be further helpful for the deployment of breeding strategies and bakanae disease management.
