Genetic control of Eucalyptus urophylla and E. grandis resistance to canker caused by Chrysoporthe cubensis

Abstract: Chrysophorte cubensis induced canker occurs in nearly all tropical and subtropical regions where eucalypts are planted, causing losses in both wood quality and volume productivity, especially so in the warmer and more humid regions of Brazil. The wide inter and intra-specific genetic variability of resistance to canker among Eucalyptus species facilitates the selection of resistant plants. In this study, we evaluated resistance to this pathogen in five Eucalyptus grandis (G) and 15 E. urophylla (U) trees, as w… Show more

“…The genetic variability for resistance has been observed for several other diseases in eucalypt (Carvalho et al 1998;Zauza et al 2004;Guimarães et al 2010). The present study corroborates these results and confirms the existence of variability for resistance to E. psidii in eucalypt, what makes possible selection of resistant genotypes for commercial planting or for research purposes.…”

“…Unlike what occurs in the E. psidii 9 P. guajava pathosystem (Marques et al 2007), the variation in resistance of eucalypt clones and species to E. psidii was observed by artificial inoculations of the pathogen and confirmed observations of the disease under natural infection in the field. The genetic variability for resistance has been observed for several other diseases in eucalypt (Carvalho et al 1998;Zauza et al 2004;Guimarães et al 2010). The present study corroborates these results and confirms the existence of variability for resistance to E. psidii in eucalypt, what makes possible selection of resistant genotypes for commercial planting or for research purposes.…”

“…Due to the large difference between the two heritability values, it can also be inferred that the character has high allelic dominance and, or epistasis. Discrepant heritability estimates in the broad and narrow sense were also reported by Guimarães et al (2010b) in the pathosystem Eucalyptus-canker (Chrysoporthe cubensis) in E. grandis x E. urophylla hybrid progeny inoculated under field conditions.…”

“…Host resistance was based on lesion length, which is an appropriate estimate of relative host resistance in this and other canker and heart rot systems (Blodgett, Eyles, & Bonello, 2007;Brawner et al, 2015;Guimaraes et al, 2010). Trees were destructively harvested 23 days after inoculation with three C. manginecans isolates.…”
