Tolerance against mercuric chloride in mutants of Pyricularia oryzae Cavara induced by ultraviolet(UV) irradiation has been investigated. The tolerant isolates obtained using ultraviolet(UV) irradiation were maintained a high level of tolerance even after 15 times transfer to the chemical free media. Each isolate of mutants UM-1, UM-2, and UM-3 on the successive monoconidial culture has genetically homogeneous for tolerance. The tolerant isolates sporulated less and showed a higher percentage of germination of conidia on media without the chemical than the parental isolate. The xotins released from the parental and the tolerant isolates have been identified as piricularin and $\alpha$-picolinic acid by paper-chromatography. The tolerant isolates produced more piricularin and its virulence on seedlings of rice varieties were higher than the parental isolates. Both piricularin production and virulance on rice were highest in the UM-2 isolate.

Quantitative differences in pathogenicity of monoconidial subcultures of Pyricularia oryzae Cav. were examined. The subcultures had been isolated from a susceptible-(STL) and an intermediate type lesion (ITL), which originated from a single culture. The majority of the STL monoconidial subcultures produced more susceptible type lesions than did the ITL subcultures. The production of intermediate type lesions was similar in both groups of subcultures, whereas the ITL subcultures produced a high number of resistant type lesions. Within both groups, there was also some variation in numbers of lesions produced.

Classification of blast resistance type of 129 Korean rice cultivars was carried out based on reaction pattern to 10 Japanese blast pathogen isolates(Pyricularia oryzae). The cultivars were divided into 11 groups based on the presumed resistance genes as follows; Pia type(19 cultivars), Pita-2 type(4), Pik type(3), Pib type(5), Piz type(11), Pik-s type(8), Pik and Pii type(4), Pia and Pita type(8), Pia and Pik type(6), Pita, Pik and Pii type(4) and no-grouping type(57). These results would provide important information to rice breeding for durable and broad resistance to rice blast.

Twenty-six N-substituted-5-chloro-1,3-dimethylpyrazole-4-carboxamide were synthesized and their antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani, Pyricularia oryzae, Botrytis cinerea and Colletotricum gleosporiodes was compared. N-phenyl-5-chloro-l,3-dimethylpyrazole-4-carboxamides having electron releasing group at the meta position of phenyl ring demonstrated good fugicidal activity against R. solani.

World wheat production is now under threat due to the wheat blast outbreak in Bangladesh in early March 2016. This is a new disease in this area, indicating the higher possibility of this pathogen spreading throughout the Asia, the world's largest wheat producing area. Occurrence of this disease caused ~3.5% reduction of the total wheat fields in Bangladesh. Its economic effect on the Bangladesh wheat market was little because wheat contributes to 3% of total cereal consumption, among which ~70% have been imported from other countries. However, as a long-term perspective, much greater losses will occur once this disease spreads to other major wheat producing areas of Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan due to the existing favorable condition for the blast pathogen. The wheat blast pathogen belongs to the Magnaporthe oryzae species complex causing blast disease on multiple hosts in the Poaceae family. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the Bangladesh outbreak strains and the Brazil outbreak strains were the same phylogenetic lineage, suggesting that they might be migrated from Brazil to Bangladesh during the seed import. To protect wheat production of Bangladesh and its neighbors, several measures including rigorous testing of seed health, use of chemicals, crop rotation, reinforcement of quarantine procedures, and increased field monitoring should be implemented. Development of blast resistant wheat varieties should be a long-term solution and combination of different methods with partial resistant lines may suppress this disease for some time.

This study was conducted to investigate the association of race distribution of Pyricularia oryzae with rice cultivar and location. Races present in a given location were different in cultivars, and the races from a given cultivars were different by location. For precise study of race distribution, it needs to identify isolates by considering cultivation ratio and collection area. There are great differences between the resistant degree in the upland blast nursery and on the resistant degree of the leaf blast and panical blast in the paddy field. The number of virulent races in a rice cultivar was not related with the resistant degree in blast nursery or in paddy field.

Three rice cultivars, Aichi-asahi, Toyotama and Yamabiko, possessing a resistance gene $Pi-\alpha$ were evaluated for penetration, hyphal growth in the leaf epidermis and lesion formation using 6 isolates of Pyricularia oryzae by treating pre- and post disposing temperatures of $23/15^{\circ}C\;and\;29/21^{\circ}C$ (day/night) regimes, respectively. Percent penetration of the fungus was higher on the seedlings disposed at $29/21^{\circ}C$ regime and more lesions were formed at 7 days after inoculation than at $23/15^{\circ}C$ regime. Degree of hyphal growth and number of host cells with hyphal growth were remarkably increased from 72 to 96 hr after inoculation at $29/21^{\circ}C$ regime. However, lesion formation on the seedlings disposed at $23/15^{\circ}C$ regime was delayed, possibly as a result of the suppressed hyphal growth until 96 hr after inoculation.

The objective of this research was to determine controlling effects on rice blast (Pyricularia oryzae) in rice plants by using plant extracts from different extraction methods (water, boiling water, fermentation, and ethanol) from 38 agricultural materials of traditional agriculture. Rice blast was completely suppressed by 3% ethanol extracts in Rheum palmatum roots, and suppressed 97% and 77% by 10% ethanol extracts in onion bulb and pine tree leaves, respectively in a laboratory test. However, other agricultural materials showed low effect on suppression of rice blast. Additionally, in a seedling test, rice injury of two cultivars (Ilmibyeo and Hopyoungbyeo) against rice blast was reduced 40-71%, 29-63%, and 23-63% by 5 and 10% ethanol extracts in Rheum palmatum roots, onion bulb, and pine tree leaves, respectively, compared with non-treated controls. Rice injury of two cultivars (Ilmibyeo and Hopyoungbyeo) against rice blast was reduced by 21-55%, 23-46%, and 5-39% in response to Rheum palmatum roots, onion bulb, and pine tree leaf applications at 100, 200 and $400g/m^2$ at 0 day after seeding, respectively, compared with non-treated controls. Rice plants did not show any leaf injuries and growth reduction after treatments of the Rheum palmatum roots, onion bulb, and pine tree leaf extracts or soil application. Thus, the above materials may be used for controlling rice blast in organically produced rice fields.

Rice blast, caused by Pyricularia oryzae (P. oryzae), is generally considered to be the most serious fungal disease of rice by its widespread distribution and destructiveness (Manandhar et al., 1998). The pathogenic fungus directly penetrates into the rice plant from a cellular structure called an appressorium that is formed at the tip of the germ tube. And the fungus can attack any aerial part of the rice plant, including seeds, in which the fungus may overwinter for several years. (omitted)
