Six different inoculation methods have been tested to determine Pseudocercosporella herpo‐trichoides resistance of wheat using small seed‐samples. The observed differentiation among hosts corresponds to that known from the literature:‘Diplomat’ and ‘Caribo’ are susceptible whereas ‘VPM1’, ‘Rendezvous’ and ‘Roazon’ carry resistance transferred from Aegilops ventricosa. The modified method of Frauenstein and Roskothen (1979) seems to be most efficient: it is timesaving, easy to use and only small seed‐samples are necessary. Such resistance testing can be used in early generations of breeding programmes.
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.
