In the EU, no fungicides against Rhizoctonia in sugar beet are registered and existing control approaches cannot completely control the disease. Two fungicides were evaluated for their control efficacy using different sugar beet cultivars with varying levels of resistance. The effect on disease severity, white sugar yield (WSY) and soil-borne inoculum, analyzed by qPCR, was determined in naturally infested fields and inoculated trials. Both fungicides showed an excellent disease control with a similar efficacy, securing WSY and reducing the soil-borne inoculum. As an alternative, mycoviruses, which induce hypovirulence, were analyzed as a further approach in the future. They are highly pathogen specific and might deliver long lasting control, once suitable biocontrol agents for Rhizoctonia have been identified. A method for virome characterization based on randomly transcribed dsRNA extracts analyzed by deep sequencing in the combination with the identification of the RdRp domain as virus marker was developed. The virome analysis revealed that the hypovirulent Rhizoctonia isolate DC17 is infested with 17 different mycoviruses of which some show close relation to known hypovirulence inducing viruses.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book explains the ecology of viruses by examining their interactive dynamics with their hosting species (in this volume, in microbes and plants), including the types of transmission cycles that viruses have evolved encompassing principal and alternate hosts, vehicles, and vectoring species. Examining virology from an organismal biology approach and focusing on the concept that viral infections represent areas of overlap in the ecologies of the involved species, Viral Ecology is essential for students and professionals who either may be non-virologists or virologists whose previous familiarity has been very specialized.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book provides an overview of the latest advances concerning symbiotic relationships between plants and microbes, and their applications in plant productivity and agricultural sustainability. Symbiosis is a living phenomenon including dynamic variations in the genome, metabolism and signaling network, and adopting a multidirectional perspective on their interactions is required when studying symbiotic organisms. Although various plant-microbe symbiotic systems are covered in this book, it especially focuses on arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis and root nodule symbiosis, the two most prevalent systems. AM symbiosis involves the most extensive interaction between plants and microbes, in the context of phylogeny and ecology. As more than 90% of all known species of plants have the potential to form mycorrhizal associations, the productivity and species composition, as well as the diversity of natural ecosystems, are frequently dependent upon the presence and activity of mycorrhizas. In turn, root nodule symbiosis includes morphogenesis and is formed by communication between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The biotechnological application of plant–microbe symbiosis is expected to foster the production of agricultural and horticultural products while maintaining ecologically and economically sustainable production systems. Designed as a hands-on guide, this book offers an essential resource for researchers and students in the areas of agri-biotechnology, soil biology and fungal biology.

The growing global population necessitates reduced crop losses to improve food security, and the control of fungal plant pathogens is vital to help maintain food production. Providing a concise and balanced review of fungicides used in crop protection, this book describes the science of fungicide use, selection and resistance within the context of farming situations. Major updates and additions reflecting the emergence of two new classes of fungicides (strobilurins and SDHI) and the increased incidence of fungicide resistance are included in this new edition, which also discusses legislative requirements to reduce fungicide applications, and current trends in fungicide use.
