Evaluation of Resistance to Zymoseptoria tritici Blotch andFusarium Head Blight in Some Genotypes of Bread Wheat

Authors

Abstract:

Using resistant cultivars is an effective method in management Zymoseptoria tritici Blotch and Fusarium Head Blight of wheat. This study was conducted to identify new sources of resistance to these diseases among a large number of Iranian cultivars and new wheat genotypes. The genotypes were cultivated in an augment design in the research farm of Aliabad Katoul Agricultural School. Artificial contamination of the genotypes were done using spreading infected leaves and inoculating with a pathogenic fungal spore suspension. Response of the genotypes to disease-causing were noted. Cluster analysis categorized genotypes into seven groups. Third and fourth groups were allocated as resistant and sensitive, respectively. Genotypes No 3 (Hirmand), 6, 10, 12, 13 (Golestan), 38 (Aftab), 40 (ghabous), 44 (Pishtaz), 51, 52 (shoosh), 59 (Pastor), 64, 68, 73 (Sepahan), 87, 92, 95, 97, 99, 110, 116, 127 (Line 7) and local check cultivar (Ehsan) were classified at group three (resistant). This group had the lowest area under the disease progress curve and showed high resistance to disease. Resistant genotypes identified in this study can be used in breeding programs for pyramiding resistance genes or using backcrossing method.

Quantitative expression analysis of candidate genes for Septoria tritici blotch resistance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the ascomycete fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola (asexual stage: Septoria tritici), is one of the most important foliar diseases of wheat. In this research, quantitative expression analysis of five candidate genes for the induction of resistance to STB (PR-1, Bsi, Msr, Per, and Ppi) was conducted in the wheat cultivars ‘Seri 82’ (susceptible) and ‘Fronta...

Evaluation of the Resistance of Some Indigenous Wheat Genotypes to Cereal Cyst Nematode, Heterodera Filipjevi

     Cereal cyst nematode (CCN) is one of the most deleterious pathogens of cereal crops worldwide including Iran. The species Heterodera filipjevi is widely distributed in the fields of wheat. Growing the resistant cultivars is a suitable environmental friendly and cost-saving procedure for nematode control. In current research, the resistance of 13 indigenous wheat genotypes and seven common ...

QTL Characterization of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in CIMMYT Bread Wheat Line Soru#1

Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistant line Soru#1 was hybridized with the German cultivar Naxos to generate 131 recombinant inbred lines for QTL mapping. The population was phenotyped for FHB and associated traits in spray inoculated experiments in El Batán (Mexico), spawn inoculated experiments in Ås (Norway) and point inoculated experiments in Nanjing (China), with two field trials at each loc...

Cross-resistance to azole fungicides in Zymoseptoria tritici disease of wheat

approved: _______________________________________________________ Christopher Mundt Fungicide resistance has become an increasing problem in North American populations of Zymoseptoria tritici, the causal agent of septoria leaf blotch of wheat. The goal of this experiment was to determine whether Z. tritici’s resistance to one azole fungicide would predict resistance in other fungicides within t...

Plasticity of the MFS1 Promoter Leads to Multidrug Resistance in the Wheat Pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici

The ascomycete Zymoseptoria tritici is the causal agent of Septoria leaf blotch on wheat. Disease control relies mainly on resistant wheat cultivars and on fungicide applications. The fungus displays a high potential to circumvent both methods. Resistance against all unisite fungicides has been observed over decades. A different type of resistance has emerged among wild populations with multidr...

Sources of resistance and susceptibility to Septoria tritici blotch of wheat

An association genetics analysis was conducted to investigate the genetics of resistance to Septoria tritici blotch, caused by the fungus Zymoseptoria tritici (alternatively Mycosphaerella graminicola), in cultivars and breeding lines of wheat (Triticum aestivum) used in the UK between 1860 and 2000. The population was tested with Diversity Array Technology (DArT) and simple-sequence repeat (SS...
