Effect of Altitude and Wounding on Blood Disease Progress of Plantain

Effect of Altitude and Wounding on Blood Disease Progress of Plantain. In the latest decade, the blood disease of banana has spread in almost all provinces in Indonesia and caused wilting of millions banana clusters in several provinces. It is very difficult to control the disease due to the base data about ecology and epidemiology of the pathogen are still poorly understood. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of wounding of inoculation site on blood disease progress of plantain. The experiment was arranged using randomized completely block design It was conducted at three locations with altitude of 100, 1000, and 1600 m above sea levels as replication block. The treatments were wounding, unwounding inoculation site, inoculation, and uninoculation of plantain cv. Kepok Kuning Wounding was applied by stabbing with an injection pin around the corm of 15 stabs/seedling. The seedlings were planted singly in one liter of non sterile soil in plastic bag. Each treatment consisted of 5 seedlings which was replicated 3 times. Inoculation was done by soil drenching of 20 ml bacterial suspension at concentration of 108 cfu/ml two week after planting. The pathogen used for inoculation originated from low land area (about 100 m above sea level). Observation was done weekly for 5 weeks. The variables observed were wilt intensity and area under disease progress (AUDPC). The results showed that blood disease was able to establish at altitude of 1600 m above sea level. The disease progress however was slower that those at 100 and 1000 m above sea level. On wounded seedling, the disease progress was more aggressive than those on unwounded one

Hubungan antara Aktivitas Poligalakturonase dengan Virulensi RAS 4 Fusarium Oxysporum F.sp. Cubense

One of the major constraints of banana plantation in Indonesia is the occurrence of fusarium wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense. The pathogen produced series of cell wall degradation extracellular enzymes which have important roles in pathogenicity. Many studies have been conducted to know the role of degrading enzyme banana pectin is the major component of cell wall. Many pectinolytic enzymes such as polygalacturonase and others have been isolated from many fungal plant pathogens. The study was aimed to know the role of polygalacturonase towards the virulence of race 4 of F. oxysporum f.sp. cubense. The result showed that from 10 isolates of race 4 of F. oxysporum f.sp. cubense, the most virulent isolate was Lmp1 followed by Srg1, Bgl6, Mln1, Bgl3, A13, Bnt2, Gnk3, Kjg1 dan Wsb5. This was indicated by high and low percentage of wilting leaves of banana cultivar Cavendish when they were inoculated with these isolates. Incubation period varied from 3 to 6 weeks after inoculation SDS-PAGE showed that polygalacturonase, mostly PG1 and PG2, was secreted by these isolates, whereas PG3 was only found in growing cultures of Gnk3 and Wsb5 isolates. Detection of polygalacturonase activity with diffusion agar and reducing sugar methods showed that the activity of polygalacturonase secreted by F. oxysporum f.sp. cubense in the growing culture had no correlation with the virulence of the fungal pathogen. Salah satu kendala utama dalam budidaya pisang di Indonesia adalah gangguan penyakit layu fusarium yang disebabkan oleh jamur Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense. Jamur patogen ini menghasilkan serangkaian enzim ekstraselular pendegradasi dinding sel yang berperan dalam patogenesis. Beberapa penelitian telah dilakukan untuk mengetahui peran enzim yang mendegradasi pektin, yang merupakan komponen penting dinding sel tanaman. Beberapa enzim pektinolitik seperti poligalakturonase dan yang lainnya telah berhasil diisolasi dari berbagai spesies jamur penyebab penyakit tanaman. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peranan poligalakturonase terhadap virulensi ras 4 F. oxysporum f.sp. cubense. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 10 isolat F. oxysporum f.sp. cubense, yang mempunyai virulensi tertinggi hingga yang terendah berturut-turut adalah Lmp1, Srg1, Bgl6, Mln1, Bgl3, A13, Bnt2, Gnk3, Kjg1 dan Wsb5. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan tinggi-rendahnya nilai persentase daun layu yang ditimbulkan oleh isolat-isolat tersebut pada bibit pisang kultivar Cavendish. Masa inkubasi bervariasi dari 3 hingga 6 minggu setelah inokulasi. Uji SDS-PAGE menunjukkan bahwa pada filtrat pertumbuhan isolat jamur-jamur patogen ini disekresikan poligalakturonase (PG) terutama PG1 dan PG2, sedangkan PG3 hanya dijumpai pada filtrat pertumbuhan isolat Gnk3 dan Wsb5. Adapun hasil deteksi aktivitas poligalakturonase dengan metode difusi agar serta gula reduksi menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas poligalakturonase yang disekresikan oleh F. oxysporum f.sp. cubense di dalam filtrat pertumbuhannya tidak berhubungan dengan virulensi jamur patogen tersebut

Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Rhizoctonia Solani Isolates From Two Different Rice Varieties

Six isolates of Rhizoctonia solani, i.e. two isolates collected from infected rice plants and four isolates from laboratory collection were studied by using morphological characters and molecular analysis. Un-weighted pair group method with arithmetic mean dendogram constructed based on cluster analysis showed that these isolates were grouped into three clusters at the 0.77 similarity coefficient. Cluster I consisted of BA, BNJ, and NBR isolates with 100% similarity and indicated that those were from AG 1 IA sub group, cluster II consisted of BND, and cluster III consisted of SL1 and SL2. Mycelium was very light brown or whitish with few and moderate sclerotia except SL1 and SL2. Molecular characterization showed that BA, BNJ, and NBR were amplified at 140 bp using Rs1F/Rs2R specific primer for R. solani AG1 IA. All isolates were amplified between 350−400 bp using Rhsp1 primer, meanwhile SL1 and SL2 were not amplified using AG2sp and AG22sp2 primers. Based on Maximum Likelihood tree analysis showed that SL1 and SL2 had high similarity based on ITS sequence data.IntisariEnam isolat Rhizoctonia solani yang berasal dari tanaman padi bergejala dan koleksi laboratorium diuji secara morfologi dan molekuler.

Karakterisasi dan Deteksi Cepat Bakteri Penyebab Penyakit Darah pada Pisang

Blood disease of banana is one of the most serious banana disease in Indonesia. Although the disease has became the subject of quarantine it eventually spread and found in most provinces in Indonesia. The aim of this research were to identify the blood disease bacterium (BDB) using morphological observation, biochemical assay, pathogenicity testing of hosts range using infectivity titration and rapid detection by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The results showed that the blood disease bacterium could be differentiated from Ralstonia solanacearum race 2, the causal agent of Moko disease and R. solanacearum tobacco isolates. BDB isolates were not able to hydrolyze gelatin, Tween 80, starch, and were not able to produce nitrite from nitrate. They were only able to produce acid from galactose and glycerol. The pathogenicity test indicated that the BDB was only able to infect the banana/plantain and was not able to infect tomato, eggplant, and chili. Rapid detection using PCR method showed that the 121F/R primers was able to amplify the BDB genome and was not able to amplify the genome of R. solanacearum tobacco isolates.Penyakit darah pada pisang masih merupakan kendala utama dalam budidaya pisang di Indonesia. Walaupun patogen penyakit darah sudah merupakan OPT karantina, namun saat ini penyakit sudah tersebar di seluruh provinsi di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi bakteri penyebab penyakit darah dengan karakterisasi morfologi, biokimia, kisaran inang, dengan infectivity titration dan deteksi cepat menggunakan PCR. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bakteri penyakit darah (BDB) dapat dibedakan dengan Ralstonia solanacearum ras 2, penyebab penyakit Moko dan R. solanacearum isolat tembakau. Isolat BDB tidak dapat menghidrolisis gelatin, Tween 80, pati dan tidak dapat menghasilkan nitrit dari nitrat. Bakteri ini hanya menghasilkan asam dari galaktosa dan gliserol. Hasil uji patogenisitas menunjukkan bahwa bakteri penyakit darah (BDB) hanya dapat menginfeksi pisang dan plantain dan tidak dapat menginfeksi tomat, terung dan cabai. Deteksi cepat dengan PCR menunjukkan bahwa primer 121F/R dapat mengamplifikasi genom bakteri penyakit darah (BDB) dan tidak dapat mengamplifikasi R. solanacearum isolat tembakau
