  • Rice bacterial blight and blast are devastating rice diseases in worldwide. Riboflavin, vitamin B2, is an essential nutrient for human health, and is known to be as a growth regulator and as a plant defense activator against pathogens in plants. In this study, we investigated possibility of increasing internal vitamin B contents and inducing resistances against rice diseases by external foliar application of a riboflavin-based formulator called BioDoctor. In planta bioassay indicated that pretreatment of the foliar application of 1,000-fold or 500-fold diluted BioDoctor significantly induced disease resistance against rice blast and bacterial blight. In addition, about four fold higher levels of riboflavin contents were detected in the BioDoctor treated rice grain and stem compared to those of untreated rice. Our results indicated that foliar application of the riboflavin has a great potential to control plant diseases and to enhance internal vitamin contents in rice.
