Article Abstract
The phylloplane is an important habitat for yeasts and these yeasts may have antagonistic activities against pathogens and could be used as biocontrol agents. To investigate rice phylloplane yeasts, 282 strains were isolated from 89 rice leaf samples and identified as 15 known yeast species in the phylum Ascomycota and 35 known and two potential new species in the phylum Basidiomycota. The majority of rice phylloplane yeasts belonged to the phylum Basidiomycota. The evaluation of antagonistic activities of 83 yeast strains against rice pathogenic fungi , , , and revealed that 14 strains inhibited these pathogens. Among the antagonistic strains, DMKU-RP31, DMKU-RP35 and DMKU-RP25 inhibited all rice pathogens tested, and the production of volatile organic compounds, fungal cell wall degrading enzymes and biofilm were the possible antagonistic mechanisms against all rice pathogens tested in vitro. These yeast strains were evaluated for controlling rice sheath blight caused by in rice plants in the greenhouse and were found to suppress the disease by 60.0-70.3%, whereas 3% validamycin suppressed by 83.8%. Therefore, they have potential for being developed to be used as biocontrol agents for rice sheath blight.

Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, remains a major constraint to global rice production, typically presenting as necrotic lesions on infected leaves. To investigate the bacterial communities associated with these lesions, we employed a novel "Microbiome Imprinting-Metabarcoding" approach, which generated comprehensive microbial datasets (203.34 Mb) from two blast-infected rice cultivars, aromatic Pusa Basmati 1 (PB1) and non-aromatic VL Dhan 85.

Rice is a staple crop worldwide, providing sustenance to over half the global population. The rice microbiome represents the complex interaction between rice plants and their surrounding microbial communities. Plants host various microorganisms in different regions, including the rhizosphere, surface tissues, such as the rhizoplane and phylloplane, and inner tissues (endosphere).

The inclusion of biological control in the integrated management of rice blast ( [Mo]) reduces pesticide application. (Pha) has been shown to be a potential inducer of resistance to rice blast. Pha was isolated saprophytically from the rice phylloplane and studied for its interaction with Mo in the defense process of upland rice plants against the pathogen attack.

Foliar fungal blast and bacterial leaf blight have significant impacts on rice production, and their management through host resistance and agrochemicals has proven inadequate. To achieve their sustainable management, innovative approaches like leveraging the foliar microbiome, which collaborates with plants and competes against pathogens, are essential. In our study, we isolated three Pantoea strains (P.

Adaxial, abaxial phylloplane (leaf), and spermoplane (seed) are proximal yet contrasting habitats for a microbiota that needs to be adequately explored. Here, we proposed novel methods to decipher the adaxial/abaxial-phylloplane and spermoplane-microbiomes. Comparison of 22 meta barcoded-NGS datasets (size of total data set-1980.
