  • Patent number: 10264796
    Abstract: A method for producing a seed of a plant resistant to seedling diseases is provided which includes contacting a non-pathogenic microbe corresponding to a seed-borne pathogen with a flower part of a host plant around the flowering time and collecting a seed of the host plant colonized by the non-pathogenic microbe obtained thereafter, and a method for controlling seedling diseases using the seed.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20140037586
    Abstract: It is intended to exert a higher control effect on plant-pathogenic fungi. The mycovirus of the present invention has 5 types of double-stranded RNAs, wherein 4 types of double-stranded RNAs out of the 5 types of double-stranded RNAs have 81%, 75%, 72%, and 73% or higher homologies to the nucleotide sequences represented by SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 4, respectively. As an example, a novel mycovirus MoCV3 is used.

  • Patent number: 8187609
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel mycovirus that suppresses phytopathogenic fungi and a novel method for controlling plant diseases. A novel mycovirus that is present endogenously in a predetermined rice blast fungus, has four types of double-stranded RNAs of 2.8 to 3.6 kb, and suppresses a phytopathogenic fungus has been found. This virus suppresses phytopathogenic fungi such as rice blast fungus.

  • Patent number: 4880745
    Abstract: A new Pseudomonas gladioli having the identifying characteristics of Bikohken-kin No. 8805 has been discovered. The microorganism is a new bacteria separated from a bulb and roots of Miltonia. For separation, the bulb and roots of Miltonia are ground in a 1% solution of peptone followed by a streak culture on a bouillon agar at 25.degree. C. for 48-96 hours, and the colonies thus grown are isolated. This microorganism is inoculated into a bulb and roots of a plant selected from the group consisting of Welsh onion, sorgo, oats and maize. The plants inoculated with the grown microorganisms are grown together within the radius of rhizosphere of a plant to be protected (or companion or mixed crop) for further multiplication of Pseudomonas gladioli M-2196 in order to control soil borne plant diseases caused by Fusarium oxysporum. Very strong antibacterial activity on Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, Verticillum dahliae, Corynebacterium michiganese pv. michiganese, Sclerotium cepivorum etc. is observed.
