Induction of defense responses by extracts of spent mushroom substrates in rice
Journal Title: Journal of Pesticide Science - Year , Vol 44, Issue 2
Abstract
We investigated the effect of treatment with hot water extracts from the spent mushroom substrates (SMSs) of Lentinula edodes and Hypsizygus marmoreus on the resistance of rice leaves to Pyricularia oryzae infection. The spraying of the SMS extracts clearly suppressed the development of lesions caused by Py. oryzae infection. The accumulation of phytoalexins momilactones A and B, oryzalexin A, and sakuranetin was markedly induced by the spraying of extracts. The enhanced expression of defense related genes PR1b and PBZ was also found in leaves sprayed with the extracts. Treatments with the extracts also affected phytohormone levels. The levels of N6-(Δ2-isopentenyl)adenine and trans-zeatin markedly increased in response to treatment, whereas the levels of salicylic and jasmonic acids were largely unchanged.

Compatibility of entomopathogenic fungi with insecticides and their efficacy for IPM of Bemisia tabaci in cotton
Bemisia tabaci, a vector of cotton leaf curl virus disease, is among the most devastating pests causing huge economic losses due to reduced cotton yield and quality. The excessive use of chemical pesticides causes insect...
Physiological disorder of plants depending on clopyralid concentration in the soil and plant
The influence of clopyralid in soil on plant growth was investigated over time using three plants. The order of clopyralid sensitivity was as follows: Solanum lycopersicum>Solanum melongena>Momordica char...
Effects of the insecticide esfenvalerate on zooplankton in an indoor synthetic model ecosystem
Effects of esfenvalerate on zooplankton and their recovery potential were studied using an indoor synthetic model ecosystem. Esfenvalerate was applied to the system by direct spiking to overlying water or the introductio...
Insecticide application and its effect on the density of rice planthoppers, Nilaparvata lugens and Sogatella furcifera, in paddy fields in the Red River Delta, Vietnam
The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, and the white-backed planthopper, Sogatella furcifera, are significant pest insects for rice. Both species are able to survive year-round in northern Vietnam’s Red River...
