Protoplast preparation and regeneration of Rhizoctonia cerealis
Rhizoctonia cerealis is the main pathogen of wheat sharp eyespot in China.In order to obtain high-quality protoplasts for the transformation of Rhizoctonia cerealis,the factors influencing preparation of R.cerealis protoplasts were studied.The results showed that the suitable conditions for protoplast preparation were as followed:mycelia of 6 d,a mixture of 15 mg/mL lywallzyme and 10 mg/mL snailase,digested at 30 ℃ for 4 h The protoplast yield reached 3.0 × 106 cell/mL.The optimal regeneration conditions for R.cerealis protoplasts were as followed:SuTC as osmotic stabilizer,TB3 medium,inoculating by mixing the protoplasts with unsolidified medium.The protoplast regeneration rate could reach 58.6%.This study is an important foundation for exploring the molecular genetics of the development and pathogenic mechanism of this pathogen.
