Abstract
Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn (Teleomorph: Thanatephorus cucumeris Donk) is a ubiquitous soil-borne plant pathogenic fungus which causes significant yield losses in many agriculturally important crops. R. solani isolates were collected from the diseased root of mung bean (RDLM-1, RMPM-5, RMHM-6, RJHM-20 & RJKM-5), cowpea (RPBC-1) and rice (Rice-17) plants from different locations in India. Mass multiplication of isolates of Rhizoctonia solani was done on sorghum grains. Soil was mixed with fully colonized seeds of sorghum grains with R. solani isolates at 10 gm per 4 inches pots (containing 1 kg sterilized sandy loam soil in each pot). After proper mixing of inoculum in soil, 20 seed each of seven wheat cultivars viz., HD-2967, Agra Local, Suhzae, Ning-8133, Chiraya-3, Milan and Sonalika was sown. The pots were maintained at 28o C and 95% relative humidity under glass house conditions. Soil sampling were done at 0, 10, 21 days after sowing and after harvesting for quantification of inoculum level in soil. The soil DNA was extracted by using ZR Soil Microbe DNA Kit�. Ning-8133 wheat cultivar found resistant against six R. solani isolates (RDLM-1, RPBC-1, RJHM-20, RJKM-5, Rice-17 & RMHM-6) except RMPM-5. RJLM-20 and RMHM-6 were not able to produce symptoms after 14 days of sowing. Isolate RMPM-5 recorded most virulent in all cultivars among all the R. solani isolates. R. solani inoculum in the rhizospheric soil of different wheat cultivars were quantified at different time interval (0, 10, 21 days after sowing and after harvesting) using serial dilution and specific primer through real time PCR. Maximum concentration of inoculum was observed after 10 days of sowing. Inoculums started decline after 10 days of sowing and it was almost equal to the initial level after the harvest of the crop. Results indicated that R. solani disease incidence in wheat varies with cultivar and isolates of the pathogen. Wheat crop is not promoting R. solani after seedling stage and not reducing the inoculums concentration also. Information generated will be helpful for the management of pathogen in rice-wheat, mung bean-wheat cropping system.
