Phage combination alleviates bacterial leaf blight of rice (Oryza sativa L.).

ABSTRACT: Rice bacterial leaf blight (BLB) is the most destructive bacterial diseases caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). Phages have been proposed as a green and efficient strategy to kill bacterial pathogens in crops, however, the mechanism of action of phages in the control of phyllosphere bacterial diseases remain unclear. Here, the glasshouse pot experiment results showed that phage combination could reduce the disease index by up to 64.3%. High-throughput sequencing technology was used to analyze the characteristics of phyllosphere microbiome changes and the results showed that phage combinations restored the impact of pathogen invasion on phyllosphere communities to a certain extent, and increased the diversity of bacterial communities. In addition, the phage combination reduced the relative abundance of epiphytic and endophytic Xoo by 58.9% and 33.9%, respectively. In particular, Sphingomonas and Stenotrophomonas were more abundant. According to structural equation modeling, phage combination directly and indirectly affected the disease index by affecting pathogen Xoo biomass and phage resistance. In summary, phage combination could better decrease the disease index. These findings provide new insights into phage biological control of phyllosphere bacterial diseases, theoretical data support, and new ideas for agricultural green prevention and control of phyllosphere diseases.

Project description:Rice is an important source of calorie for the growing world population. Its productivity, however is affected by climatic adversities, pest attacks, diseases of bacterial, viral and fungal origin and many other threats. Developing cultivars that are high yielding and stress resilient seems a better solution to tackle global food security issues. This study investigates the potential resistance of 24 rice cultivars against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae (Xoo) infection that causes bacterial leaf blight disease and submergence stress. Bacterial leaf blight (BLB) resistance genes (Xa4, xa5, xa13, Xa21, Xa38) and submergence tolerance (Sub1) gene specific markers were used to determine the allelic status of genotypes. The results displayed presence of Xa4 resistance allele (78.95%), xa5 (15.79%) but xa13 and Sub1 tolerance allele were not found in any genotype. However, a new allele for Xa21 (84.21%) and Xa38 (10.52%) were identified in several genotypes. Phenotypic screening for both stress conditions was done to record the cultivars response. None of the genotypes showed resistance against Xoo, although varieties viz., Tapaswini and Konark showed moderate susceptibility. Likewise, survival percentage of genotypes under submergence stress varied from 0 to 100%. Tolerant checks FR13A (100%) and Swarna Sub1 (97.78%) exhibited high survival rate, whereas among genotypes, Gayatri (57.78%) recorded high survivability even though it lacked Sub1 tolerant its genetic background. A total of six trait specific STS and two SSR markers generated an average of 2.38 allele per locus. Polymorphism information content (PIC) value ranged from 0.08 to 0.42 with an average of 0.20. Structure analysis categorized 24 genotypes into two sub-populations, which was in correspondence with Nei's genetic distance-based NJ tree and principal co-ordinate analysis (PCoA). Swarna Sub1 could be differentiated clearly from BLB resistant check, IRBB60 and other 22 genotypes without having Sub1 gene. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed more genetic variation within population than among population. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that 9 morphological traits collectively explained 76.126% of total variation among all the genotypes studied. The information from this study would be useful in future breeding programs for pyramiding trait specific genes into high yielding cultivars that fall behind with respect to stress resilience.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12298-021-00951-1.
