Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe grisea is considered to be one of the most devastating diseases in most rice-growing regions. In order to search for an effective agent to protect against rice infection, the elicitor activity of algino-oligosaccharides was evaluated in germinating rice, in which accumulation of oryzalexin C could be detected sensitively. The maximal elicitor activity was detected in germinating rice seedlings when the fractions of alginate degradation products with a degree of polymerization of 7.9 (S3) and 6.5 (S4) were used as elicitors. Algino-oligosaccharides could induce the enzyme activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase, peroxidase and catalase in rice plant cells for protection of the plant against the invading pathogen. With utilization of algino-oligosaccharides, the disease index caused by Magnaporthe grisea could be reduced from 17.74% to 10.81% and the protection efficacy was 39.06%. These findings suggest that algino-oligosaccharides could be applied as a biological agent to control rice blast disease.
