Abstract

Emerging plant pathogens are characterized as newly discovered organisms, of recent evolution and which have increased in incidence. For presenting worldwide distribution in several agroecosystems, high genetic diversity and prevalence of a mixed reproductive mode, a high evolutionary potential is assigned to basidiomycetous fungi of the genus Rhizoctonia. There were recent reports of the emergence of R. solani AG-1 IA causing the blight disease on Brachiaria pastures in Colombia and in the Brazilian Amazon. Host shift due to overlapping crops in areas of rice cultivation (a highly susceptible host to Rhizoctonia diseases) is identified as the main mechanism for the emergence of the blight disease on pastures. In addition to R. solani AG-1 IA, two other pathogens from the sheath blight complex can attack rice: R. circinata and R. oryzae-sativae. In a recent survey conducted in five areas of rice cultivation in the Paraíba Valley, Sao Paulo state, we detected the predominance of R. oryzae-sativae associated with rice. It is not known, however, if local populations of these two other pathogens may come to adapt to Brachiaria and emerge as a new pathogen to this pasture crop. The main objective of our study is to determine the population genetic structure of R. oryzae-sativae from rice in the Paraíba Valley and its adaptive potential to Brachiaria. To characterize the population genetic structure of the pathogen in the region, the isolates of the pathogen will be genotyped using six small sequence repeats (SSR) co-dominant markers. To infer the adaptive potential of the R. oryzae-sativae to Brachiaria, we will determine the effect of three populations of the pathogen and three genotypes of Brachiaria on evolvability components associated with aggressiveness.
