Abstract:To increase disease effect and stability of artificial inoculation of Ustilaginoidea virens, the inoculation effects caused by different inocula, culture time, concentrations of pathogen and inoculation periods of rice were studied by using methods of injection during booting stage of rice in greenhouse. The inoculation effects of pathogen in PSB culture liquid was obviously better than that in rice bran culture liquid with 100% and 23.33% of diseased panicles, respectively. The pathogen in PSB culture liquid cultured for 5-7 d had a better inoculation effect, and the effects were obviously decreased when prolong of culture days. The lower concentration of conidia resulted in lower percentage of diseased panicles and numbers of diseased grains with spore ball in a diseased panicle. When rice variety "Liangyoupeijiu" inoculated with pathogen at a concentration of 4×106 conidia/mL in PSB culture liquid in the middle and later stages of booting, the percentage of diseased panicles were 100%, and the average and the highest numbers of diseased grains were 35.1 and 87 respectively. The result indicated that the techniques of artificial inoculation established could receive stable disease effect and could be also used to distinguish differences of resistance to rice false smut among rice varieties in greenhouse.
