-Seventy two wheat cultivars and breeding lines were tested for at least two years in up to ten European countries for resistance against leaf rust under field conditions. In addition, seedling resistance was determined with local races and with defined isolates to postulate resistance genes. Nine entries (Batis, Capo, RE9001, RE9801, Terza, Toronit, Titlis, Barra, Beaufort) were highly resistant at all locations, and were regarded as excellent sources of resistance for breeding programs. Two thirds of the 72 entries possess adult plant and/or partial resistance. Cultivars with the gene Lr13 differed greatly in disease response showing that Lr13 alone does not provide adequate resistance in Europe. Gene Lr37 provided generally good adult plant resistance but seedlings with this gene were moderately susceptible. Many of the wheat cultivars/lines investigated possess unidentified adult plant resistance gene(s). Seedling resistance was attributable mostly to the genes Lr1, Lr3a, Lr3ka, Lr10, Lr14a, Lr17b, Lr20 or Lr26.

Fusarium head blight (FHB, scab), caused by Fusarium graminearum or F. culmorum, results in yield and quality reductions and accumulation of mycotoxins. Two inoculation methods are commonly used. Spraying a spore suspension on the head (spray inoculation) will detect resistance to initial infection (type I) and to disease spread within the spike (type II). Injecting a spore suspension into individual florets (point inoculation) will detect type II resistance only. To analyze the association of spray and point inoculation, 20 elite winter wheat cultivars from Romania, Germany, and Switzerland were inoculated in factorial field experiments in seven environments (location x year combinations) in Germany and Romania. Response to FHB was assessed by the percentage of visually infected spikelets and head weight relative to the noninoculated control. Point and spray inoculations resulted in a mean disease severity varying from 52 to 63%. Significant (P = 0.01) genotypic variation was found within and across the environments. Genotype-environment interaction was important also. Estimates of entry-mean heritability were higher for spray than for point inoculation as assessed by percent infected spikelets (0.81 versus 0.77) and relative head weight (0.77 versus 0.52). Significant (P = 0.01) interaction was found between inoculation methods. Consequently, coefficients of phenotypic correlation between both methods were low to medium for percent infected spikelets (0.40, P > 0.1) and relative head weight (0.52, P = 0.05). We conclude that the application of both inoculation methods should provide additional information for selection and scientific studies. Spray inoculation, however, is less laborious for large-scale routine screening of breeding materials.

This study was undertaken to characterize the tance genes from Sumai 3 on the long arm of chromogenetic control of FHB resistance and to identify possible associations some 5A or 6B. Buerstmayr et al. (1997) positioned of resistance with several marker loci in winter wheat. Recombinant FHB resistance genes in one Sumai 3 derivative on inbred lines were derived from the cross of a susceptible winter wheat, chromosomes 5A, 1B, 3B, 4B, 6B, and 6D and in another F1054W, with a moderately resistant parent, Sincron, not related to derivative on chromosomes 3A, 3B, 6B, and 4D.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
