Rib Discoloration in F2 Populations of Crisphead Lettuce in Relation to Head Maturity

Abstract: Rib discoloration is a physiological disorder associated with heat stress in crisphead lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). Rib discoloration resistance was studied in a 2-year field experiment using parental and F2 plant populations from a cross of ‘Emperor’, a resistant cultivar, and ‘Eldorado’, a susceptible cultivar. Rib discoloration was evaluated in terms of incidence (percentage of plants with symptoms) and severity (on a 1–5 scale) and was correlated with… Show more

“…The development of the symptoms has been directly associated with heat stress, the highest incidence being observed in controlled environments when the stress was applied 2 weeks after heading (Jenni 2005). As for tipburn, rib discolouration is strongly associated with advanced maturity and the resistance to the disorder varies among varieties and breeding lines (Jenkins 1962, Jenni et al. 2008).…”

“…According to Farmers, plant growth rates varies considerably, and the approximate days after emergence for a given leaf stage to appear is influenced most by temperature. Temperature extremes can impose major limitations on crop productivity and production in some areas (Figure 3) [7]. Cultivars 1,2,7,8 and control developed 5 leaves, 75 days after seedling emergence.…”
