Field screening of safflower genotypes for resistance to charcoal rot disease
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Nineteen safflower genotypes (Carthamus tinctorius L.) that originated from different geographical regions were screening for their response to infection with Macrophomina phaseolina, the charcoal rot pathogen at the research farm of Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Gorgan, Iran, in 2005. The plants were evaluated for length and width of necrotic lesion at the entry point of inoculum at flowering (LNF and WNF, respectively) and maturity stages (LNM and WNM, respectively), and penetration depth of necrosis in the stem (PDN). Some morphological characteristics including plant height, number of days to maturity, diameter of lower stem (DLS), diameter of vascular bundle (DVS) and relative water content of lower stems (SRWC) were also measured. Analysis of disease symptoms by clustering method revealed that there were four moderately resistance, ten susceptible and five moderately susceptible genotypes. However, no completely resistant genotype was found. DLS had a positive and significant correlation with all disease related traits including LNF, WNF, LNM, WNM and PDN. Therefore, this trait may be used as an index for indirect selection of resistant genotypes in safflower. The moderately resistant genotypes IUT-K115, GUA-Val6, CW-74 and AC-Stirling can be used in breeding programs to improve resistant safflower genotypes.

Screening of New Sugarcane Genotypes for Resistance to Red Rot (glomerella Tucumanensis)
Preliminary investigations in South Africa into determining the resistance of sugarcane varieties to red rot (Glomerella tucumanensis) by means of an inoculation procedure, conducted in 1988-89, showed promise. Results of these trials, together with findings from industry-wide red rot surveys in the late 1980s, were used to provide a preliminary ranking of a number of released varieties. Variet...
متن کاملCharcoal Rot of Sorghum
Charcoal rot of sorghum causedby the fungus ~acrophorfdna phaseolina is a root andstalk rot disease of great destructive potential in most sorghum-growing regions. Improved, highyielding cultivars under good management tend to be very susceptible to the disease. M. phaseolina is a common soilborne, nonaggressive, and plurivorous pathogen that attacks plants whose vigor has been reduced by unfav...
