Assessment of Partial Resistance to Powdery Mildew (Podosphaera pannosa) in a Tetraploid Rose Population Using a Spore-suspension Inoculation Method

Powdery mildew (Podosphaera pannosa) is the most important fungal disease in greenhouse roses and is in practice controlled by fungicides. The creation of novel cultivars with durable resistance to powdery mildew is highly desirable. To understand the inheritance of mildew resistance, a tetraploid rose population with a size of 181 seedlings was obtained by crossing two tetraploid genotypes each having partial resistance. The population and its parents were tested under greenhouse conditions with two well-defined monospore isolates (2 and F1) using artificial inoculation with spore suspensions. Disease score at 11 days post-inoculation, latent period and rate of symptom development were used to describe seedling resistance. The tests for both isolates exhibited a wide and significant variation among genotypes for resistance. The distribution of the genotypic means of the disease scores was continuous and showed a considerable transgression. Statistical analysis, scatter plot of disease scores for the isolates, and correlation analyses indicated that the two isolates differed in pathogenicity. The outcome of the tests showed that the inoculation assay with spore suspensions was a reliable and effective way to screen large numbers of genotypes under greenhouse conditions for genetic and breeding studies. This is the first report on spore-suspension inoculation to be used successfully in rose.     

Note: First record in crete ofHercinothrips femoralis in greenhouse banana plantations

In 2004 the banded greenhouse thrips,Hercinothrips femoralis (Reuter) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), was recorded for the first time in greenhouse-grown organic banana in the area of Sitia (northeastern Crete). Banana fruits were severely damaged by the thrips infestation and a typical smoky-red discoloration of the fruit was observed. Pest control was poor using either high-pressure washing with potassium fatty acids, or commercially available thrips predatorsNeoseiulus cucumeris (Oudemans) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) andOrius laevigatus (Fieber) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae). During 2005H. femoralis was also found causing severe damage in conventional banana plantations in Arvi, the main banana-growing area of Crete. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting Sept. 17, 2006.     

尖角突脐孢菌在温室环境下侵染稗草的致病体系研究

稗属（Echinochloa）杂草是全世界水稻等作物生产中的一类恶性杂草。人工除稗安全但费时费力，化学除稗高效但伴随农产品安全和环境相融友好方面的潜在风险。因此，寻求安全高效的除稗活性成分和施药技术成为国际上除稗剂发展的重要方向之一。在研究和开发生物除稗剂的技术体系中，满足高通量筛选安全、高效的除稗生防因子的温室检测体系是极为重要的支持平台，同样，生物除稗剂的田间科学施药技术亦应依据生防因子在稗草上致病和致害所需的最佳条件来制定。基于此，亟需探明生防因子侵染稗草致病的相关条件并建立快速有效的生防因子除稗效果温室检测体系和田间施药技术。本文系统研究了影响尖角突脐孢菌侵染稗草的相关因子，建立了稳定的温室环境下尖角突脐孢菌侵染稗草的致病体系。
