Popis: Among 153 isolates ofRhizoctonia spp. obtained from 95 soil samples collected from different fields in the USA, 42 (27.5%) isolates were hypovirulent or non-pathogenic on cabbage (tested on tap water agar plus 250 μg/ml chloramphenicol plates). Of these, 14 (33.3% of the np-R) isolates protected >60% of the cabbage seedlings againstR. solani, and the best eight isolates protected 73–95% of the cucumber seedlings. The np-R isolates RU56-8 (AG-P) and RU89-1 [AG-B(o)] induced the highest resistance against hypocotyl challenge inoculation with virulentR. solani (38.3–85.7%), whereas most of the challenged control seedlings (85–100%) collapsed. Similarly, isolates RU56-8 and RU89-1 induced the highest resistance (22.2–87.5%) against hypocotyl challenge inoculation withPythium aphanidermatum, whereas most of the challenged control seedlings collapsed (90–100%). Isolates RU56-8 and RU89-1 significantly reduced the lesion numbers and area/leaf (to 8.9–42.0% of the control) caused by challenge inoculation of the first true leaves withPseudomonas syringae pv.lachrymans. No np-R isolate could be recovered from the upper hypocotyls or from the leaves, indicating that there was no contact between the inducer and the pathogen. Root colonization with some np-R increased seedling tolerance to low soil moisture levels.
