Abstract:

PCR detection was performed on 170 Magnaporthe oryza strains collected from various rice-growing regions in Zhejiang Province using specific primers for seven avirulence genes. The results revealed that six avirulence genes were detected in the tested strains, with varying occurrence frequencies across different regions. The most prevalent avirulence gene was Avr-pik, whose detection rate was 98.8%, while Avr1-co39 was undetected. Strains from the same region but infecting different host cultivars displayed distinct avirulence gene profiles. Similarly, isolates from different regions infecting the same host cultivar also exhibited differences in avirulence gene composition.

Key words: Magnaporthe oryzae, avirulence gene, occurrence frequency, Zhejiang Province
