Diversity of Mycoviruses Present in Strains of Binucleate Rhizoctonia and Multinucleate Rhizoctonia, Causal Agents for Potato Stem Canker or Black Scurf.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the diversity of putative mycoviruses present in 66 strains of binucleate Rhizoctonia (BNR, including anastomosis group (AG)-A, AG-Fa, AG-K, and AG-W) and 192 strains of multinucleate Rhizoctonia (MNR, including AG-1-IA, AG-2-1, AG-3 PT, AG-4HGI, AG-4HGII, AG-4HGIII, and AG-5), which are the causal agents of potato stem canker or black scurf, was studied using metatranscriptome sequencing. The number of contigs related to mycoviruses identified from BNR and MNR was 173 and 485, respectively. On average, each strain of BNR accommodated 2.62 putative mycoviruses, while each strain of MNR accommodated 2.53 putative mycoviruses. Putative mycoviruses detected in both BNR and MNR contained positive single-stranded RNA (+ssRNA), double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), and negative single-stranded RNA (-ssRNA) genomes, with +ssRNA genome being the prevalent nucleic acid type (82.08% in BNR and 75.46% in MNR). Except for 3 unclassified, 170 putative mycoviruses found in BNR belonged to 13 families; excluding 33 unclassified, 452 putative mycoviruses found in MNR belonged to 19 families. Through genome organization, multiple alignments, and phylogenetic analyses, 4 new parititviruses, 39 novel mitoviruses, and 4 new hypoviruses with nearly whole genome were detected in the 258 strains of BNR and MNR.

Project description:The potato, being an underground vegetable crop, faces consistent threats from soil- and tuber-borne fungal and bacterial pathogens. Black scurf and stem canker disease caused by the fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn is a critical global concern in the potato cultivation system. In this study, we evaluated the disease mitigation potential of five systemic acquired resistance-inducing chemicals viz., salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, β-aminobutyric acid, γ-aminobutyric acid and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Two common methods, tuber dipping and foliar spray, were utilized in this experiment to evaluate pathogen inhibition on inoculated tubers. The results revealed that all the systemic acquired resistance inducing chemicals were effective in disease suppression in a concentration-dependent manner compared to an inoculated control. Significant differences (P < 0.005) were evident among the various treatment combinations, with salicylic acid being the most effective in alleviating black scurf disease. Maximum reduction in disease incidence compared to the control was observed with salicylic acid (57.89% and 73.68%), followed by jasmonic acid (52.63% and 65.78%) and H2O2 (49.99% and 60.52%) under the tuber dipping treatment combinations. Whereas, in the foliar application, the maximum reduction in disease incidence compared to the control was observed with salicylic acid (44.73 and 63.15%), followed by jasmonic acid (42.10 and 60.52%) and H2O2 (39.46 and 52.63%). The tuber dipping treatments were significantly more efficacious (P < 0.005) compared to foliar spray for all treatment combinations. The biochemical analysis of defense-related enzymes and metabolites demonstrated the induced resistance activation under these treatments. The activity of peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, and phenyl ammonia-lyase was significantly higher in treated tubers as compared to inoculated and uninoculated control. The total phenol content was also elevated in treated tubers as compared to the respective control. Altogether, these resistance-inducing chemicals can be successfully included in integrated disease management programs.

Project description:Rhizoctonia cerealis is the pathogen of wheat sharp eyespot, which occurs throughout temperate wheat-growing regions of the world. In this project, the genomes of viruses from four strains of R. cerealis were analyzed based on Illumina high-throughput transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) data. After filtering out reads that mapped to the fungal genome, viral genomes were assembled. In total, 131 virus-like sequences containing complete open reading frames (ORFs), belonging to 117 viruses, were obtained. Based on phylogenetic analysis, some of them were identified as novel members of the families Curvulaviridae, Endornaviridae, Hypoviridae, Mitoviridae, Mymonaviridae, and Phenuiviridae, while others were unclassified viruses. Most of these viruses from R. cerealis were significantly different from the viruses already reported. We propose the establishment of a new family, Rhizoctobunyaviridae, and two new genera, Rhizoctobunyavirus and Iotahypovirus. We further clarified the distribution and coinfection of these viruses in the four strains. Surprisingly, 39 viral genomes of up to 12 genera were found in strain R1084. Strain R0942, containing the fewest viruses, also contained 21 viral genomes belonging to 10 genera. Based on the RNA-Seq data, we estimated the accumulation level of some viruses in host cells and found that the mitoviruses in R. cerealis generally have very high accumulation. In conclusion, in the culturable phytopathogenic fungus R. cerealis, we discovered a considerable diversity of mycoviruses and a series of novel viruses. This study expands our understanding of the mycoviral diversity in R. cerealis and provides a rich resource for the further use of mycoviruses to control wheat sharp eyespot. IMPORTANCE Rhizoctonia cerealis is a binucleate fungus that is widely distributed worldwide and can cause sharp eyespot disease in cereal crops. In this study, 131 virus-like sequences belonging to 117 viruses were obtained based on analysis of high-throughput RNA-Seq data from four strains of R. cerealis. Many of these viruses were novel members of various virus families, while others were unclassified viruses. As a result, a new family named Rhizoctobunyaviridae and two new genera, Rhizoctobunyavirus and Iotahypovirus, were proposed. Moreover, the discovery of multiple viruses coinfecting a single host and the high accumulation levels of mitoviruses have shed light on the complex interactions between different viruses in a single host. In conclusion, a significant diversity of mycoviruses was discovered in the culturable phytopathogenic fungus R. cerealis. This study expands our understanding of mycoviral diversity, and provides a valuable resource for the further utilization of mycoviruses to control wheat diseases.
