Resistance of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) to terminal bud attack bySclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary

Abstract: Resistance of sunflowers to terminal bud attack by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum was studied by microscopical observations of infection processes and by genetical analyses of trials showing natural infections. Electron microscope studies showed that there were no differences in leaf morphology between susceptible and resistant genotypes, and that both were contaminated by ascospores. Only on the susceptible genotype was considerable ascospore germination observed, followed by mycelial development and leaf penetrati… Show more

“…the additive inheritance observed here most resembles the In the presence of a year x genotype interaction, correlations results found for resistance to terminal bud attack by Sclerotinia were calculated not only for the mean data, but also for each sclerotiorum (Achbani et al 1996). These authors observed year.…”

“…The standard deviations of the estimated distances may be as great as the distances and thus may affect local locus ordering and give some overestimation of distances between loci (Lorieux and Gonzales de Leon 1993). The inheritance of resistance to S. sclerotiorum terminal bud attack was reported by Achbani et al (1996) as quantitative, but under mostly additive control. Since cultivated sunflower genotypes show quite clear differences, from very susceptible to completely resistant, it has been thought that this characteristic may be less polygenic than resistance to capitulum attack.…”

“…Most papers show genetic effects preponderantly additive for disease resistance when single hybrids were artificially infected by S. sclerotiorum on plant organs such as capitula [13,19,27], leaves [5], terminal buds [1], basal stem [14] and cotyledons [24]. Conversely, Vrânceanu et al [28] showed strong SCA effects for resistance to mycelium infection of Sclerotinia basal attack in sunflower germplasm and Pîrvu et al [16] detected two inbred lines with a single recessive gene controlling mechanical resistance to initial penetration of the stem-surface tissues by Sclerotinia mycelium.…”
