Abstract
Rice (Oryza sativa) production is damaged to a great extent by sheath blight disease (ShB). However, the defense mechanism in rice against this disease is largely unknown. Previous transcriptome analysis identified a significantly induced eukaryotic protein phosphatase 2A catalytic subunit 1 (PP2A-1) after the inoculation of Rhizoctonia solani. Five genes encoding PP2A exist in rice genome, and these five genes are ubiquitously expressed in different tissues and stages. Inoculation of R. solani showed that the genome edited pp2a-1 mutants using the CRISPR/Cas9 were more susceptible to ShB than the wild-type control, but other PP2A gene mutants exhibited similar response to ShB compared to wild-type plants. In parallel, PP2A-1 expression level was higher in the activation tagging line, and PP2A-1 overexpression inhibited plant height and promoted the resistance to ShB. PP2A-1-GFP was localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus. In addition, R. solani-dependent induction kinetics of pathogen-related genes PBZ1 and PR1b was lower in pp2a-1 mutants but higher in PP2A-1 activation line compared to those in the wild-type. In conclusion, our analysis shows that PP2A-1 is a member of protein phosphatase, which regulates rice resistance to ShB. This result broadens the understanding of the defense mechanism against ShB and provides a potential target for rice breeding for disease resistance.

Abstract
Rice sheath blight (SB) disease is a global issue that causes great yield losses each year. To explore whether SB field resistance can be predicted, 273 rice genotypes were inoculated and evaluated for SB field resistance across nine environments from 2012 to 2019 to identify loci associated with SB resistance by association mapping. A total of 80 significant marker-trait associations were detected in nine environments, among which six loci (D130B, D230A, D304B, D309, D427A, and RM409) were repeatedly detected in at least two environments. A linear regression model for predicting SB lesion length was developed using genotypic data of these six loci and SB field resistance data of the 273 rice genotypes: y = 34.44 - 0.56x, where y is the predicted value of lesion length, and x is the total genotypic value of the six loci. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population consisting of 219 lines that was grown in six environments (from 2013 to 2018) for evaluation of SB field resistance was used to check the prediction accuracy of the prediction model. The average absolute error between the predicted lesion length and real lesion length for the RIL population was 6.67 cm. The absolute errors between predicted and real lesion lengths were <6 cm for 51.22% of the lines and <9 cm for 71.22% of the lines. An SB visual rating prediction model was also developed, and the average absolute error between the predicted visual rating and real visual rating for the RIL population was 0.94. These results indicated that the rice SB lesion length can be predicted by the development of a linear regression model using both genotypic and phenotypic data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plant pathogens and pests often occur together, causing damage while interfering with plant growth. The effects of phytopathogenic infections on plant-herbivore-natural enemy tri-trophic interactions (TTIs) have been extensively investigated, but little is known about how the interval of infection influences such relationships. Here, the effect of rice plants infected by the phytopathogen Rhizoctonia solani on the herbivorous rice brown planthopper (BPH) and associated egg parasitoid Anagrus nilaparvatae over a temporal scale was examined. RESULTS Our results showed that rice plants infected by R. solani showed increased volatile profiles and significantly attracted BPH and A. nilaparvatae at 5-15 days post infection (DPI) and 5-10 DPI, respectively, when compared with healthy plants. Jasmonic acid and salicylic acid content decreased significantly in BPH-damaged plants after 15 DPI, whereas oxalic acid accumulated soon after 5 DPI when compared with healthy plants. To adapt to adverse environment, BPH laid more eggs and developed into macropterous adults. Under field conditions, R. solani infection had no substantial effect on the arthropod community when compared with healthy plants. CONCLUSION Taken together, R. solani infection altered rice-pest-parasitoid TTIs over a temporal scale. This result will shed more light on our understanding of plant pathogen-insect cross-talk essential for developing novel pest management strategies. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:10412. [PMID: 34638750 PMCID: PMC8509013 DOI: 10.3390/ijms221910412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2021] [Revised: 09/22/2021] [Accepted: 09/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Long-term use of a single fungicide increases the resistance risk and causes adverse effects on natural ecosystems. Controlled release formulations of dual fungicides with different modes of action can afford a new dimension for addressing the current issues. Based on adjustable aperture and superhigh surface area, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are ideal candidates as pesticide release carriers. This study used Al3+ as the metal node and 2-aminoterephthalic acid as the organic chain to prepare aluminum-based metal-organic framework material (NH2-Al-MIL-101) with "cauliflower-like" structure and high surface area of 2359.0 m2/g. Fungicides of azoxystrobin (AZOX) and diniconazole (Dini) were simultaneously encapsulated into NH2-Al-MIL-101 with the loading content of 6.71% and 29.72%, respectively. Dual fungicide delivery system of AZOX@Dini@NH2-Al-MIL-101 demonstrated sustained and pH responsive release profiles. When the maximum cumulative release rate of AZOX and Dini both reached about 90%, the release time was 46 and 136 h, respectively. Furthermore, EC50 values as well as the percentage of inhibition revealed that AZOX@Dini@NH2-Al-MIL-101 had enhanced germicidal efficacy against rice sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solani), evidenced by the synergistic ratio of 1.83. The present study demonstrates a potential application prospect in sustainable plant protection through co-delivery fungicides with MOFs as a platform.

Abstract
The necrotrophic phytopathogen Rhizoctonia solani (R. solani) is a fungus that causes disease in a wide range of plant species. Fungal genomes encode abundant, small cysteine-rich (SCR) secreted proteins, and the probable importance of these to pathogenesis has been highlighted in various pathogens. However, there are currently no reports of an R. solani SCR-secreted protein with evidential elicitor activity. In this study, the molecular function of 10 SCR-secreted protein genes from R. solani was explored by agroinfiltration into Nicotiana benthamiana (N. benthamiana) leaves, and a novel SCR protein RsSCR10 was identified that triggered cell death and oxidative burst in tobacco. RsSCR10 comprises 84 amino acids, including a signal peptide (SP) of 19 amino acids that is necessary for RsSCR10 to induce tobacco cell death. Elicitation of cell death by RsSCR10 was dependent on Hsp90 but not on RAR1, proving its effector activity. Two cysteine residues have important effects on the function of RsSCR10 in inducing cell death. Furthermore, RsSCR10 showed cross-interaction with five rice molecules, and the inferred functions of these rice proteins suggest they are instrumental in how the host copes with adversity. Overall, this study demonstrates that RsSCR10 is a potential effector that has a critical role in R. solani AG1 IA-host interactions.

Abstract
Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae and sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani, are the two major diseases of rice that cause enormous losses in rice production worldwide. Identification and utilization of broad-spectrum resistance resources have been considered sustainable and effective strategies. However, the majority of the resistance genes and QTLs identified have often been found to be race-specific, and their resistance is frequently broken down due to continuous exposure to the pathogen. Therefore, integrated approaches to improve plant resistance against such devastating pathogen have great importance. Silicon (Si), a beneficial element for plant growth, has shown to provide a prophylactic effect against many pathogens. The application of Si helps the plants to combat the disease-causing pathogens, either through its deposition in different parts of the plant or through modulation/induction of specific defense genes by yet an unknown mechanism. Some reports have shown that Si imparts resistance to rice blast and sheath blight. The present review summarizes the mechanism of Si transport and deposition and its effect on rice growth and development. A special emphasis has been given to explore the existing evidence showing Si mediated blast and sheath blight resistance and the mechanism involved in resistance. This review will help to understand the prophylactic effects of Si against sheath blight and blast disease at the mechanical, physiological, and genetic levels. The information provided here will help develop a strategy to explore Si derived benefits for sustainable rice production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rice sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani is a devastating disease of rice in China. However, indiscriminate use of chemical fungicides applied to control the disease raise major environmental and food safety issues. Ecofriendly biocontrol alternatives are urgently needed. Eugenol, one of the main ingredients in Syzygium aromaticum, has attracted much attention owing to its antifungal properties. However, its mode of action is still not clear. Herein, the antifungal activity and mode of action of eugenol against R. solani were investigated. RESULTS Results confirmed that the mycelia of R. solani treated with eugenol shrank and became dehydrated, the cytoplasmic wall separated, and the vacuoles and mitochondria decreased or dissolved. Moreover, we found that eugenol downregulated expression of C-4 methyl sterol oxidase, inhibited synthesis of ergosterol, increased membrane permeability and impaired the transportation of amino acids and glucose across the cell membrane. In addition, eugenol decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential and initiated an oxidative stress reaction by increasing reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, which together with membrane damage contribute to the antifungal activity of eugenol. Meanwhile, eugenol might inhibit R. solani by affecting oxidative phosphorylation and the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle). CONCLUSION In view of its multitarget properties against R. solani, eugenol provides an alternative approach to chemical control strategies against rice sheath blight. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Rhizoctonia solani is a highly destructive necrotrophic fungal pathogen having a diverse host range, including rice and tomato. Previously R. solani infection has been found to cause large-scale readjustment in host primary metabolism and accumulation of various stress-associated metabolites such as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in rice. In this study, we report upregulation of GABA pathway genes during pathogenesis of R. solani in rice and tomato. The exogenous application of GABA provided partial resistance against R. solani infection in both the hosts. Furthermore, by using the virus-induced gene silencing approach, we knocked down the expression of some of the tomato genes involved in GABA biosynthesis (glutamate decarboxylase) and GABA catabolism (GABA-transaminase and succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase) to study their role in host defense against R. solani infection. The silencing of each of these genes increased disease susceptibility in tomato. Overall the results from gene expression analysis, exogenous chemical application, and gene silencing studies suggest that the GABA pathway plays a positive role in plant defense against necrotrophic pathogen R. solani.

Abstract
Plant diseases reduce crop yield and quality, hampering the development of agriculture. Fungicides, which restrict chemical synthesis in fungi, are the strongest controls for plant diseases. However, the harmful effects on the environment due to continued and uncontrolled utilization of fungicides have become a major challenge in recent years. Plant-sourced fungicides are a class of plant antibacterial substances or compounds that induce plant defenses. They can kill or inhibit the growth of target pathogens efficiently with no or low toxicity, they degrade readily, and do not prompt development of resistance, which has led to their widespread use. In this study, the growth inhibition effect of 24 plant-sourced ethanol extracts on rice sprigs was studied. Ethanol extract of gallnuts and cloves inhibited the growth of bacteria by up to 100%. Indoor toxicity measurement results showed that the gallnut and glove constituents inhibition reached 39.23 μg/mL and 18.82 μg/mL, respectively. Extract treated rice sprigs were dry and wrinkled. Gallnut caused intracellular swelling and breakage of mitochondria, disintegration of nuclei, aggregation of protoplasts, and complete degradation of organelles in hyphae and aggregation of cellular contents. Protection of Rhizoctonia solani viability reached 46.8% for gallnut and 37.88% for clove in water emulsions of 1000 μg/mL gallnut and clove in the presence of 0.1% Tween 80. The protection by gallnut was significantly stronger than that of clove. The data could inform the choice of plant-sourced fungicides for the comprehensive treatment of rice sprig disease. The studied extract effectively protected rice sprigs and could be a suitable alternative to commercially available chemical fungicides. Further optimized field trials are needed to effectively sterilize rice paddies.

Abstract
Rhizoctonia solani is an important phytopathogenic fungus with a wide host range and worldwide distribution. The anastomosis group AG1 IA of R. solani has been identified as the predominant causal agent of rice sheath blight, one of the most devastating diseases of crop plants. As a necrotrophic pathogen, R. solani exhibits many characteristics different from biotrophic and hemi-biotrophic pathogens during co-evolutionary interaction with host plants. Various types of secondary metabolites, carbohydrate-active enzymes, secreted proteins and effectors have been revealed to be essential pathogenicity factors in R. solani. Meanwhile, reactive oxygen species, phytohormone signaling, transcription factors and many other defense-associated genes have been identified to contribute to sheath blight resistance in rice. Here, we summarize the recent advances in studies on molecular interactions between rice and R. solani. Based on knowledge of rice-R. solani interactions and sheath blight resistance QTLs, multiple effective strategies have been developed to generate rice cultivars with enhanced sheath blight resistance.

Abstract
Rhizoctonia solani is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen that causes disease in diverse plant species. In recent years, the genomic and transcriptomic studies have identified several candidate pathogenicity determinants of R. solani; however, most of them remain to be validated. In this study, we report a viral vector-based host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) as well as a dsRNA (double-stranded RNA)-based approach to effectively downregulate genes of R. solani AG1-IA (BRS1 strain) during pathogenesis in tomato. We tested a few of the in-planta upregulated R. solani genes and observed that silencing of one of them, i.e., RS_CRZ1 (a C2H2 type zinc finger transcription factor) significantly compromises the pathogenesis of R. solani in tomato. The RS_CRZ1-silenced plants not only exhibited significant reduction in disease symptoms, but the depth of pathogen colonization was also compromised. Furthermore, we identified the R. solani genes that were coregulated with RS_CRZ1 during the pathogenicity process. The HIGS-mediated silencing of a few of them [CL1756Contig1; subtilisin-like protease and CL1817Contig2; 2OG-Fe(II) oxygenase] compromised the pathogenesis of R. solani in tomato. The ectopic expression of RS_CRZ1 complemented the crz1 mutant of yeast and restored tolerance against various metal ion stress. Overall, our study reveals the importance of RS_CRZ1 in managing the hostile environment encountered during host colonization. Also, it emphasizes the relevance of the HIGS and dsRNA-based gene silencing approach toward functional characterization of pathogenicity determinants of R. solani.[Formula: see text] Copyright © 2021 The Author(s).

Abstract
Bacterial blight, blast, and sheath blight are the commonest diseases causing substantial yield loss in rice around the world. Stacking of broad-spectrum resistance genes/QTLs into popular cultivars is becoming a major objective of any disease resistance breeding program. The varieties ASD 16 and ADT 43 are the two popular, high yielding, and widely grown rice cultivars of South India, which are susceptible to bacterial blight (BB), blast, and sheath blight diseases. The present study was carried out to improve the cultivars (ASD 16 and ADT 43) through introgression of bacterial blight (xa5, xa13, and Xa21), blast (Pi54), and sheath blight (qSBR7-1, qSBR11-1, and qSBR11-2) resistance genes/QTLs by MABB (marker-assisted backcross breeding). IRBB60 (xa5, xa13, and Xa21) and Tetep (Pi54; qSBR7-1, qSBR11-1, and qSBR11-2) were used as donors to introgress BB, blast, and sheath blight resistance into the recurrent parents (ASD 16 and ADT 43). Homozygous (BC3F3 generation), three-gene bacterial blight pyramided (xa5 + xa13 + Xa21) lines were developed, and these lines were crossed with Tetep to combine blast (Pi54) and sheath blight (qSBR7-1, qSBR11-1, and qSBR11-2) resistance. In BC3F3 generation, the improved pyramided lines carrying a total of seven genes/QTLs (xa5 + xa13 + Xa21 + Pi54 + qSBR7-1 + qSBR11-1 + qSBR11-2) were selected through molecular and phenotypic assay, and these were evaluated for resistance against bacterial blight, blast, and sheath blight pathogens under greenhouse conditions. We have selected nine lines in ASD 16 background and 15 lines in ADT 43 background, exhibiting a high degree of resistance to BB, blast, and sheath blight diseases and also possessing phenotypes of recurrent parents. The improved pyramided lines are expected to be used as improved varieties or used as a potential donor in breeding programs. The present study successfully introgressed Pi54, and qSBR QTLs (qSBR7-1, qSBR11-1, and qSBR11-2) from Tetep and major effective BB-resistant genes (xa5, xa13, and Xa21) from IRBB60 into the commercial varieties for durable resistance to multiple diseases.

[PMID: 33147714 PMCID: PMC7663646 DOI: 10.3390/s20216243] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2020] [Revised: 10/29/2020] [Accepted: 10/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Sheath blight (ShB), caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG1-I, is one of the most important diseases in rice worldwide. The symptoms of ShB primarily develop on leaf sheaths and leaf blades. Hyperspectral remote sensing technology has the potential of rapid, efficient and accurate detection and monitoring of the occurrence and development of rice ShB and other crop diseases. This study evaluated the spectral responses of leaf blade fractions with different development stages of ShB symptoms to construct the spectral feature library of rice ShB based on “three-edge” parameters and narrow-band vegetation indices to identify the disease on the leaves. The spectral curves of leaf blade lesions have significant changes in the blue edge, green peak, yellow edge, red valley, red edge and near-infrared regions. The variables of the normalized index between green peak amplitude and red valley amplitude (Rg − Ro)/(Rg + Ro), the normalized index between the yellow edge area and blue edge area (SDy − SDb)/(SDy + SDb), the ratio index of green peak amplitude and red valley amplitude (Rg/Ro) and the nitrogen reflectance index (NRI) had high relevance to the disease. At the leaf scale, the importance weights of all attributes decreased with the effect of non-infected areas in a leaf by the ReliefF algorithm, with Rg/Ro being the indicator having the highest importance weight. Estimation rate of 95.5% was achieved in the decision tree classifier with the parameter of Rg/Ro. In addition, it was found that the variety degree of absorptive valley, reflection peak and reflecting steep slope was different in the blue edge, green and red edge regions, although there were similar spectral curve shapes between leaf sheath lesions and leaf blade lesions. The significant difference characteristic was the ratio index of the red edge area and green peak area (SDr/SDg) between them. These results can provide the basis for the development of a specific sensor or sensors system for detecting the ShB disease in rice.

A Comprehensive Analysis of MicroRNAs Expressed in Susceptible and Resistant Rice Cultivars during Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA Infection Causing Sheath Blight Disease. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21217974. [PMID: 33120987 PMCID: PMC7662745 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21217974] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2020] [Revised: 10/08/2020] [Accepted: 10/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
MicroRNAs regulate plant responses to fungal infections and immunity. In this study, miRNAs were identified in six rice cultivars during a Rhizoctonia solani Kühn AG1-IA infection using a deep sequencing approach. Known and novel miRNAs were analyzed in these rice cultivars, and a set of fungal infection/immunity-associated miRNAs and target genes were quantified by reverse transcription (RT)-qPCR in six rice cultivars. Additionally, the relative expression of these miRNAs was analyzed in different time points of the infection, wild species of rice, and in response to different strains of R. solani. Osa-miR1320-5p showed preferential expression during the fungal infection in all the six rice genotypes, while Osa-miR156d, Osa-miR159b, Osa-miR820c, and Osa-miR1876 were differentially regulated in susceptible and resistant genotypes. A greater degree of downregulation of miRNAs was observed during the initial time points of infection (24-72 h), suggesting a maximum molecular activity of rice-R. solani interaction and resistance response of the host during the early phase of infection. After R. solani infection, the expression of Osa-miR820c and Osa-miR156d was downregulated in Oryza rufipogon, O. alta, O. latifolia, and O. minuta, while Osa-miR397b was downregulated in all the wild rice species except O. officinalis. This study provided comprehensive information on the repertoire of miRNAs expressed in six sheath blight disease-susceptible and resistant indica and aus rice cultivars.

Abstract
Early detection of plant diseases, prior to symptom development, can allow for targeted and more proactive disease management. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with machine learning for early detection of rice sheath blight (ShB), caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani. We collected NIR spectra from leaves of ShB-susceptible rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar, Lemont, growing in a growth chamber one day following inoculation with R. solani, and prior to the development of any disease symptoms. Support vector machine (SVM) and random forest, two machine learning algorithms, were used to build and evaluate the accuracy of supervised classification-based disease predictive models. Sparse partial least squares discriminant analysis was used to confirm the results. The most accurate model comparing mock-inoculated and inoculated plants was SVM-based and had an overall testing accuracy of 86.1% (N = 72), while when control, mock-inoculated, and inoculated plants were compared the most accurate SVM model had an overall testing accuracy of 73.3% (N = 105). These results suggest that machine learning models could be developed into tools to diagnose infected but asymptomatic plants based on spectral profiles at the early stages of disease development. While testing and validation in field trials are still needed, this technique holds promise for application in the field for disease diagnosis and management.

Identification of Genes Involved in Antifungal Activity of Burkholderia seminalis Against Rhizoctonia solani Using Tn5 Transposon Mutation Method. Pathogens 2020; 9:pathogens9100797. [PMID: 32992669 PMCID: PMC7600168 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens9100797] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2020] [Revised: 09/22/2020] [Accepted: 09/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Rhizoctonia solani is the causative agent of rice sheath blight disease. In a previous study, we found that the growth of R. solani was inhibited by Burkholderia seminalis strain R456. Therefore, the present study was conducted to identify the genes involved in the antifungal activity of B. seminalis strain R456 by using a Tn5 transposon mutation method. Firstly, we constructed a random insertion transposon library of 997 mutants, out of which 11 mutants showed the defective antifungal activity against R. solani. Furthermore, the 10 antagonism-related genes were successfully identified based on analysis of the Tn5 transposon insertion site. Indeed, this result indicated that three mutants were inserted on an indigenous plasmid in which the same insertion site was observed in two mutants. In addition, the remaining eight mutants were inserted on different genes encoding glycosyl transferase, histone H1, nonribosomal peptide synthetase, methyltransferase, MnmG, sulfate export transporter, catalase/peroxidase HPI and CysD, respectively. Compared to the wild type, the 11 mutants showed a differential effect in bacteriological characteristics such as cell growth, biofilm formation and response to H2O2 stress, revealing the complexity of action mode of these antagonism-related genes. However, a significant reduction of cell motility was observed in the 11 mutants compared to the wild type. Therefore, it can be inferred that the antifungal mechanism of the 10 above-mentioned genes may be, at least partially, due to the weakness of cell motility. Overall, the result of this study will be helpful for us to understand the biocontrol mechanism of this bacterium.

Abstract
The root microbiome plays a key role that can influence host plant growth and abiotic stress. While there has been extensive characterization of community structure, spatial compartmentalization, and the impact of drought stresses on the root microbiome in rice and other plants, there is relatively little known about the differences in root microbiome among rice ecotypes in natural upland and lowland fields. Herein, we used two rice ecotypes, upland and irrigated ecotype rice (two Indica and two Japonica genotypes), as a model to explore the responses of the root microbiome under different environmental conditions. We aimed to identify environment-induced adaptation in the root bacterial and fungal composition of rice ecotypes by high-throughput sequencing. Rice from lowland field or upland had significantly altered overall bacterial and fungal community compositions of the two ecotypes, with diversity of both ecotypes greatly decreased from lowland field to upland. The overall response of the root microbiome to upland conditions was taxonomically driven by the enrichment of family Enterobacteriaceae and genera Serratia, and phylum Ascomycota. Interestingly, rice ecotypes specifically enriched root microbes when they were transferred from their original environment, such as the enrichment of class Thermoleophilia and phylum Actinobacteria when the irrigated ecotype rice was moved from lowland to upland field. These results revealed that different environmental conditions and rice ecotypes resulted in a restructuring of root microbiome communities, and suggested the possibility that components responsible for the beneficial attributes in the altered root microbiome might contribute to the adaptation of different ecotypes in natural fields.

Abstract
Rice sheath blight disease, caused by the basidiomycetous necrotroph Rhizoctonia solani, became one of the major threats to the rice cultivation worldwide, especially after the adoption of high-yielding varieties. The pathogen is challenging to manage because of its extensively broad host range and high genetic variability and also due to the inability to find any satisfactory level of natural resistance from the available rice germplasm. It is high time to find remedies to combat the pathogen for reducing rice yield losses and subsequently to minimize the threat to global food security. The development of genetic resistance is one of the alternative means to avoid the use of hazardous chemical fungicides. This review mainly focuses on the effort of better understanding the host-pathogen relationship, finding the gene loci/markers imparting resistance response and modifying the host genome through transgenic development. The latest development and trend in the R. solani-rice pathosystem research with gap analysis are provided.

Abstract
The prevention and control of pests and diseases are becoming increasingly difficult owing to extensive pesticide resistance. The synergistic use of pesticides for disease control is an effective way of slowing pesticide resistance, reducing the number of pesticide applications, and protecting the environment. In this study, a dual-functionalized pesticide nanocapsule delivery system loaded with two active ingredients (AIs)—validamycin and thifluzamide—was developed to prevent and control rice sheath blight; the nanocapsule system was based on a water–oil–water double emulsion method combined with high-pressure homogenization technology. Our results showed that the dual-functionalized pesticide nanocapsules were monodisperse spheres with a mean particle size of ~260 nm and had good storage stability. Compared with commercial formulations, the dual-functionalized pesticide nanocapsules exhibited good foliar spread owing to their small size, which is beneficial for reducing the loss of pesticides on the leaves. The 50% median effect concentration and synergistic ratio against Rhizoctonia solani of the dual-functionalized pesticide nanocapsules and commercial formulation were 0.0082 and 0.0350 μg/mL, and 2.088 and 0.917, respectively. These findings indicate that the bioactivity of the dual-functionalized system was significantly better than that of the commercial formulations and that the dual-functionalized system demonstrated a clear synergistic effect between the two AIs. The system presented here is simple, fast, and capable of dual-pesticide loading with significant synergistic effects. Our findings could help to facilitate the improvement of pesticides efficiency and the slowing of pesticide resistance.
