Fungal Group Zygomycota01:29

Fungal Group Zygomycota

802
Zygomycota, previously classified as a distinct fungal group, are primarily terrestrial, saprophytic molds that play a crucial role as decomposers. Recent phylogenetic studies have revealed that these fungi are now divided into two major clades — Mucoromycota, which includes many symbiotic species, and Zoopagomycota, which primarily consists of parasitic and pathogenic fungi. These groups exhibit distinct ecological roles and reproductive strategies while sharing key structural and...

Area of Science:

  • Plant Pathology
  • Agricultural Entomology
  • Microbial Control

Background:

  • Rhizoctonia disease significantly impacts potato yield and quality globally.
  • Effective management strategies are crucial for sustainable potato production.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of Metarhizium robertsii and Beauveria bassiana against potato Rhizoctonia complex disease.
  • To investigate the mechanisms of disease inhibition by these entomopathogenic fungi.

Main Methods:

  • Field trials in Western Siberia assessing preplanting tuber treatments.
  • Cocultivation assays to observe direct inhibition of Rhizoctonia solani.
  • Measurement of peroxidase activity in potato roots.

Main Results:

  • Beauveria bassiana treatment reduced Rhizoctonia disease in potato stems and stolons.
  • Both M. robertsii and B. bassiana decreased the sclerotium index on new tubers.
  • Direct inhibition of R. solani sclerotium formation and increased root peroxidase activity were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Beauveria bassiana offers effective management of Rhizoctonia disease during the potato growing season.
  • Both entomopathogenic fungi contribute to improved new tuber crop quality.
