Quantitative resistance to Cercospora leaf spot disease caused by Pseudocercospora cruenta in cowpea

Six populations (Parent 1, Parent 2, F1, F2, BC1 and BC2) generated from each of four crosses involving four resistant and two susceptible varieties of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) were evaluated for resistance to Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) disease caused by Pseudocercospora cruenta under induced epiphytotic conditions, in four separate field experiments. Climatic conditions determined the onset of CLS disease in the susceptible cultivar and varied in the four experiments from 35 to 48 days after planting (DAP). Genetic analysis revealed that the mode of inheritance of resistance to P. cruenta can be oligogenic or polygenic depending upon the cross. This is the first report of polygenic inheritance of CLS resistance. Number of nodes infected fitted a simple additive dominance model with predominance of additive effects based on generation mean analysis. Oligogenic resistance was observed for the other three crosses, with the most plausible models being: a single gene model with incomplete dominance in CB27 × IT87D-939-1; a single gene model with complete dominance in CB27 × VRB-10; and a triger model in Los Banos Bush Sitao × IT86D-792, based on segregation analysis of symptomatic : non-symptomatic plants. The role of minor genes was also indicated in the above crosses. Suggested approaches to breeding for resistance to CLS are discussed.     

Inheritance of Dry Root Rot (Rhizoctonia bataticola) Resistance in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum)

The inheritance of resistance to dry root rot of chickpea caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola was studied. Parental F₁ and F₂ populations of two resistant and two susceptible parents, along with 49 F₁ progenies of one of the resistant × susceptible crosses were rested for their reaction to dry root rot using the blotting-paper technique. All F, plants of the resistant × susceptible crosses were resistant; the F₂ generation fitted a 3 resistant: 1 susceptible ratio indicating monogenic inheritance, with resistance dominant over susceptibility. F³ family segregation data confirmed the results. No segregation occurred among the progeny of resistant × resistant and susceptible × susceptible crosses.     

Generation Mean Analysis of Inheritance of Resistance to Pyrenophora teres in Barley

F1, F2, Fl × parentl (BC1), and Fl × parent2 (BC2) generations resulting from four crosses among seven cultivars of barley used in national and international breeding programmes were tested at the seedling stage for their resistance to a mixture of five isolates of Pyrenophora teres. Four methods were used to assess disease resistance: infection type (IT), average lesion size (ALS), number of lesions per unit leaf area (NL) and percent leaf area infected (PLAI). Gene actions were estimated by generation mean analysis on each of the four crosses and on each of the evaluation methods. Significant additive and additive × additive epistatic effects were found. Infection type and percent leaf area infected were found to be highly correlated in all four crosses. These results suggest that barley breeders could improve the level of resistance to P. teres by making appropriate crosses between highly susceptible barley cultivars.

Inheritance of Russian wheat aphid resistance from tetraploid wheat accessions during transfer to hexaploid wheat

Identification of new sources of resistance to Russian wheat aphid (RWA) (Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has become very important with the identification of several new biotypes since 2003. Our objective was to characterize inheritance and expression of resistance to RWA biotype 2 from three tetraploid wheat landraces (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. dicoccon) during transfer to hexaploid wheat. Resistant tetraploid accessions PI 624903, PI 624904, and PI 624908 were crossed to the susceptible hexaploid cultivars ‘Len’ and ‘Coteau’. Resistant F1 progeny were advanced to the F2:3 by self-pollination and to the BC1F2 and BC2F1 by backcrossing. Leaf rolling and chlorosis were recorded in standard seedling screening tests on F1 and F2:3 individuals while the F2, BC1F1, BC1F2, and BC2F1 were scored as resistant or susceptible. Segregation in the BC1F1 and BC2F1 fit a 1:1 resistant:susceptible ratio, indicative of control by a single dominant gene. Segregation for resistance in the F2 did not fit 3:1, 13:3, or 15:1 ratios for any of the resistant accessions. Expression of resistance in homogeneous resistant F2:3 lines was greater than susceptible checks, similar to the resistant tetraploid accessions, and less than a line carrying the Dn7 resistance gene. Resistance derived from these tetraploid accessions will be useful to broaden the base of RWA resistance available for use in wheat breeding.     

Inheritance of resistance to the chlorosis component of tan spot of wheat caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, races 1 and 3

The fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, causal agent of tan spot of wheat, produces two phenotypically distinct symptoms, tan necrosis and extensive chlorosis. The inheritance of resistance to chlorosis induced by P. tritici-repentis races 1 and 3 was studied in crosses between common wheat resistant genotypes Erik, Hadden, Red Chief, Glenlea, and 86ISMN 2137 and susceptible genotype 6B-365. Plants were inoculated under controlled environmental conditions at the two-leaf stage and disease rating was based on presence or absence of chlorosis. In all the resistant × susceptible crosses, F₁ plants were resistant and the segregation of the F₂ generation and F₃ families indicated that a single dominant gene controlled resistance. Lack of segregation in a partial diallel series of crosses among the resistant genotypes tested with race 3␣indicated that the resistant genotypes possessed␣the same resistance gene. This resistance gene was effective against chlorosis induced by P.␣tritici-repentis races 1 and 3.

Parial resistance in the barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivar 'Chikurin Ibaraki 1' to two PAV-like isolates of barley yellow-dwarf virus: allelic variability at the Yd2 gene locus

The Japanese barley cultivar, ‘Chikurin Ibaraki 1’, is partially resistant to the PAV serotype of barley yellow-dwarf virus (BYDV), but its induced mutant line, Ea52, is susceptible. The inheritance of resistance in cv. ‘Chikurin Ibaraki 1’ to BYDV-PAV was investigated. The F, and F2 plants of crosses of cvs ‘Chikurin Ibaraki 1’, Ea52, ‘Vixen’, carrying the Yd2 gene of resistance, and ‘Plaisant’, a susceptible French cultivar, were tested in growth chamber and field conditions. Isolate RG, against which ‘Chikurin Ibaraki 1’ is partially resistant in growth chamber and field conditions, and isolate 2t, which overcomes the partial resistance of ‘Chikurin Ibaraki 1’ in field conditions (Chalhoub et al. 1994) were used. The segregation of F2 plants of crosses between ‘Chikurin Ibaraki 1’ and the susceptible cultivars to isolate RG (one resistant to three susceptible) suggests that the resistance of ‘Chikurin Ibaraki 1’ is controlled by a single recessive gene. All 537 F2 plants of ‘Chikurin Ibaraki 1’בVixen’ tested with isolate RG in growth chamber and field conditions were resistant. The F2 plants of this cross were all resistant to isolate 2t in growth chamber conditions but segregated with a ratio of one resistant to three susceptible in field conditions owing to the susceptibility of ‘Chikurin Ibaraki 1’ to this isolate. Results suggest that the resistance gene in ‘Chikurin Ibaraki 1’ is tightly linked or allelic with the Yd2 gene in ‘Vixen’. However, it differs from this gene in ‘Vixen’ in that it can be overcome by isolate 2t in field conditions.     

Inheritance and allelism for resistance to Russian Wheat Aphid in an Iranian Spring Wheat

Russian wheat aphid (RWA), Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko), is an important pest of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the United States of America. Developing adapted wheat cultivars with genetic resistance to RWA is an effective control strategy. Genetic studies were conducted to determine the mode of inheritance of gene(s) conferring resistance to RWA in an Iranian landrace wheat line, G 5864. For the inheritance study, G 5864 was crossed with the susceptible wheats ‘Yecora Rojo’ and ND 2375. Seedlings of F1, reciprocal F1, F2, BC1 to the susceptible parent (BCS), and BC1 to the resistant parent (BCR) were screened for RWA reaction. Several phenotypic segregation ratios were tested in the F2 populations for goodness of fit; the 9:3:3:1 ratio (resistant: rolled leaves: stunted plants: susceptible) was an acceptable fit in all cases. Thus, resistance in G 5864 seemed to be controlled by two independent dominant genes with additive gene effects. The allelic relationships of gene(s) in this line with genes in other resistant lines, PI 137739 (Dn1), PI 262660 (Dn2), PI 372129 (Dn4), PI 294994 (Dn5), and PI 243781 (Dn6), were also studied. Segregation patterns observed in G 5864 × resistant (R × R) F2 populations were inconclusive. However, no susceptible plants were observed in these F2 populations. If previous reports concerning the number of resistance genes present in the other resistant lines are correct, then given the high manifestation of resistance observed in G 5864, and given the absence of susceptible plants in the R × R F2 populations, it is indicated that RWA resistance in G 5864 is either controlled by different alleles at the same loci as the other resistance genes, or that G 5864 shares a resistance gene with each of the other resistant lines. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Inheritance of Cercospora Leaf Spot Resistance in Mung Bean, Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek

Inheritance of Cercospora leaf spot resistance in mungbean was studied in 20 crosses involving crosses of resistant × susceptible, resistant × resistant, susceptible × susceptible lines. 3:1 ratio was observed in all 14 F₂s involving resistant × susceptible parents. The inheritance of Cercospora leaf spot resistance is thus controlled by a single recessive gene. Our results are contradictory to observations of Thaklk et al. (1977 a, b) who found monogenic dominant inheritance of Cercospora leaf spot resistance in mungbean.

Genetics of resistance to Aphis craccivora in cowpea

Summary Inheritance of aphid resistance and allelic relationships among sources of resistance was studied in the parents, F₁, F₂, F₃, and backcross populations of cowpea crosses. Each 4-day old seedling was infested with five fourthinstar aphids. Seedling reaction was recorded 14–16 days after infestation when the susceptible check was killed. The segregation data from eight crosses between resistant and susceptible cowpea cultivars indicated that aphid resistance was inherited as a monogenic dominant trait. Segregation data from crosses among eight resistant cultivars indicated that one or two loci and modifier(s) were involved in the expression of resistance to aphids. It was suggested that further studies on allelism among sources of resistance needed to be conducted in order to resolve this.

Two genes and linked RAPD markers involved in resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Ciceris race 0 in chickpea

The inheritance of resistance to fusarium wilt race 0 of chickpea and linked random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were studied in two F₆:₇ recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations. These RILs were developed from the crosses CA2156 × JG62 (susceptible × resistant) and CA2139 × JG62 (resistant × resistant), and were sown in a field infected with fusarium wilt race 0 in Beja (Tunisia) over 2 years. A1:1 resistant to susceptible ratio was found in the RIL population from the CA2156 × JG62 cross, indicating that a single gene with two alleles controlled resistance. In the second RIL population (CA2139 × JG62) a 3:1 resistant to susceptible ratio indicated that two genes were present and that either gene was sufficient to confer resistance. Linkage analysis showed a RAPD marker, OPJ20600, linked to resistance in both RIL populations, which is present in the resistant parent JG62.     

烤烟品种‘Oxford207’青枯病抗性的遗传分析与分子标记初选

为了研究烟草青枯病抗性的遗传特性和开发抗性相关分子标记,以抗青枯病的烟草品种‘Oxford207’,感病品种‘红花大金元’为亲本,构建了F1、F2和BC1群体,并采用苗期恒温水培接种法鉴定了群体青枯病的抗性。结果表明,接种后定期调查的F1、F2和BC1F1的死亡率比较接近,均稳定介于抗病亲本和感病亲本之间。F1、F2和BC1F1死亡率曲线下面积比较接近,同样介于抗病与感病亲本之间。表明‘Oxford207’的青枯病抗性不符合典型的显性或隐性基因控制模型,属于加性基因控制。采用简单重复序列(SSR)和分离群体分组分析法初步筛选了抗性相关的分子标记。从800多条SSR引物中,筛选出263个在抗感亲本间有多态性且在F1中呈共显性的引物、3个在抗感池之间有多态性的引物。     

Genetic analysis of resistance to watermelon bud necrosis orthotospovirus in watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum & Nakai]

An experiment was conducted to study the genetics and nature of gene action of resistance to watermelon bud necrosis orthotospovirus (WBNV) in watermelon. The experimental materials comprised of two resistant (BIL‐53 and IIHR‐19) and one susceptible (IIHR‐140) parents. Each of the resistant parents was crossed with the susceptible parent to develop six generations (P1, P2, F₁, F₂, BC1 and BC2) to study genetics. The results of segregation in F₂ and backcross progenies suggested that resistance is governed by a major dominant gene along with other background minor genes in both the crosses. BIL‐53 was found to possess higher degree of resistance with simple inheritance and hence may be of interest to breeders. Simple selection can be effective for improving the trait in the cross BIL‐53 × IIHR‐140 as additive gene action is prevalent.     

Inheritance of resistance to angular leaf spot in Nicotiana tabacum L. cultivars burley 21 and kentucky 14

Summary The genetics of resistance to angular leaf spot caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci in Nicotiana tabacum cultivars Burley 21 and Kentucky 14 was investigated by studying disease reactions to three isolates of parental, F₁, F₂ and backcross generations derived from crosses between the resistant cultivars and the susceptible cultivar Judy's Pride. Studies were conducted in the greenhouse and in field plant beds. Chi-square values were computed to determine whether the observed ratios for disease reactions deviated from expected Mendelian ratios for a single, dominant gene controlling resistance to angular leaf spot in tobacco. Based on the resistance of the F₁ and the backcross generation to the resistant parent (BC-R), a 3 resistant: 1 susceptible segregation ratio in the F₂, and a 1 resistant: 1 susceptible segregation ratio in the backcross generation to the susceptible parent (BC-S), it was concluded that resistance to three isolates of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci is governed by a single, dominant gene.
