Stripe rust (caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) and leaf rust (caused by Puccinia triticina) are the top two diseases of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) with a 20-year average yield loss of 4.9% in Kansas. Due to the significant yield losses caused by these diseases, the overall objective of this research was to identify environmental variables that favor stripe and leaf rust epidemics. The first objective was to verify the environmental conditions that favor P. triticina infections in an outdoor field environment. Wheat was inoculated with P. triticina and exposed to ambient weather conditions for 16 hours. Number of hours with temperature between 5 to 25°C and relative humidity >87% were highly correlated and predicted leaf rust infections with 89% accuracy. The results of this outdoor assay were used to develop variables to evaluate the association of environment with regional leaf rust epidemics. Before regional disease models can be developed for a forecast system, suitable predictors need to be identified. Objectives two and three of this research were to identify environmental variables associated with leaf rust and stripe rust epidemics and to evaluate these predictors in models. Mean yield loss on susceptible varieties was estimated for nine Kansas crop reporting districts (CRD’s). Monthly environmental variables were evaluated for association with stripe rust epidemics (>1% yield loss), leaf rust epidemics (>1% yield loss), severe stripe rust epidemics (>14% yield loss) and severe leaf rust epidemics (>7% yield loss) at the CRD scale. Stripe rust and leaf rust epidemics were both strongly associated with soil moisture conditions; however, the timing differed between these diseases. Stripe rust epidemics were associated with soil moisture in fall and winter, and leaf rust epidemics during winter and spring. Severe stripe rust and leaf rust epidemics were associated with favorable temperature (7 to 12°C) and temperature (15 to 20°C) with relative humidity (>87%) or precipitation in May using tree-based methods of classification, respectively. The preliminary models developed in this research could be coupled with disease observations and varietal resistance information to advise growers about the need for foliar fungicides against these rusts in Kansas winter wheat.

This investigation covers genetics of rust resistance in common wheat and durum wheat. Stripe rust resistance in AUS26615 was conferred by three QTL and these were temporarily named; QYr.sun-1B, QYr.sun-3D and QYr.sun-6B. QYr.sun-1B represented the previously named APR gene Yr29. The other two QTL appear to be new. The detection of QYr.sun-3D in late sown experiment points to its better expression at relatively higher temperature regimes. The all stage resistance gene, YrAW12, carried by AUS26674, was shown to be Yr34 based on its co-segregation with Yr34-linked marker sunKASP_112 and similar seedling expression. AUS26674/Avocet S RIL population was genotyped with Yr18 and Yr29 linked markers, and responses of RILs carrying different combination of these loci were compared. The RILs carrying combination of YrAW12, Yr18 and Yr29 produced adult plant responses equal to the parent AUS266674. Among the two gene combinations, YrAW12 and Yr18 combination, produced adult plant stripe rust score 3, lower than the score 4 exhibited by other two dual combinations). Four RILs that lacked YrAW12, Yr18 and Yr29 displayed stripe rust response scores 5 to 7 indicating the presence of an additional APR locus in AUS266674. Eight leaf rust genes (Lr1, Lr13, Lr16, Lr24, Lr26, Lr27+Lr31, Lr37 and Lr73) and 11 stem rust resistance genes (Sr2, Sr8a, Sr8b, Sr9b, Sr9g, Sr17, Sr23, Sr24, Sr30, Sr31 and Sr38) were postulated singly or in different combinations among a set 85 genotypes. Nine and five lines, respectively, appear to carry uncharacterised leaf rust and stem rust resistance. Adult plant leaf rust responses ranged from 2 to 6, while stem rust scores varied from 2 to 8. Genetic analysis of stem rust resistance in a durum landrace AUS26677 indicated involvement of a single resistance gene, temporarily named SrAW4. SrAW4 was located on chromosome 4B.

The responses of 92 barley genotypes to selected P. hordei pathotypes was assessed in greenhouse tests at seedling growth stages and in the field at adult plant growth stages to determine known or unknown resistances. On the basis of multipathotype tests, 35 genotypes were postulated to carry Rph2, Rph4, Rph5, Rph12, RphCantala alone or combinations of Rph2 + Rph4 and Rph1 + Rph2, whereas 52 genotypes lacked detectable seedling resistance to P. hordei. Five genotypes carried seedling resistance that was effective to all pathotypes tested, of which four were believed to carry uncharacterised resistance based on pedigree information. Field tests at adult plant growth stages indicated that while 28 genotypes were susceptible, 57 carried uncharacterised APR to P. hordei. Pedigree analysis indicated that APR in the test genotypes could have been derived from three different sources. The resistant responses of seven cultivars at adult plant growth stages were believed to be due to the presence of seedling resistance effective against the field pathotypes. Genetic studies conducted on 10 barley genotypes suggested that ‘Vada’, ‘Nagrad’, ‘Gilbert’, ‘Ulandra (NT)’ and ‘WI3407’ each carry one gene providing adult plant resistance to P. hordei. Genotypes ‘Patty’, ‘Pompadour’ ‘Athos’, ‘Dash’ and ‘RAH1995’ showed digenic inheritance of APR at one field site and monogenic inheritance at a second. One of the genes identified in each of these cultivars provided high levels of APR and was effective at both field sites. The second APR gene was effective only at one field site, and it conferred low levels of APR. Tests of allelism between resistant genotypes confirmed a common APR gene in all genotypes with the exception of ‘WI3407’, which based on pedigree information was genetically distinct from the gene common in ‘Vada’, ‘Nagrad’, ‘Patty’, ‘RAH1995’ and ‘Pompadour’. An incompletely dominant gene, Rph14, identified previously in an accession of Hordeum vulgare confers resistance to all known pathotypes of P. hordei in Australia. The inheritance of Rph14 was confirmed using 146 and 106 F3 lines derived from the crosses ‘Baudin’/ ‘PI 584760’ (Rph14) and ‘Ricardo’/‘PI 584760’ (Rph14), respectively. Bulk segregant analysis on DNA from the parental genotypes and resistant and susceptible DNA bulks from F3 lines using diversity array technology (DArT) markers located Rph14 to the short arm of chromosome 2H. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based marker analysis identified a single simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker, Bmag692, linked closely to Rph14 at a map distance of 2.1 and 3.8 cM in the populations ‘Baudin’/ ‘PI 584760’and ‘Ricardo’/‘PI 584760’, respectively. Seedlings of 62 Australian and two exotic barley cultivars were assessed for resistance to a variant of Puccinia striiformis, referred to as BGYR, which causes stripe rust on several wild Hordeum species and some genotypes of cultivated barley. With the exception of six Australian barley cultivars and an exotic cultivar, all displayed resistance to the pathogen. Genetic analyses of six Australian barley cultivars and the Algerian barley ‘Sahara 3771’, suggested that they carried either one or two major seedling resistance genes to the pathogen. A single recessive seedling resistance gene, Bgyr1, identified in ‘Sahara 3771’ was located on the long arm of chromosome 7H and flanked by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers wg420 and cdo347 at genetic distances of 12.8 and 21.9 cM, respectively. Mapping resistance to BGYR at adult plant growth stages using a doubled haploid population derived from the cross ‘Clipper’/‘Sahara 3771’ identified two major QTLs on the long arms of chromosomes 3H and 7H that explained 26 and 18% of total phenotypic variation, respectively. The QTL located on chromosome 7HL corresponded to the seedling resistance gene Bgyr1. The second QTL was concluded to correspond to a single adult plant resistance gene designated Bgyr2, originating from cultivar ‘Clipper’.

Full textAbstract:
The Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi, may promote significant damages in soybean crop. The disease is mainly controlled by sequential applications of fungicides following a calendarbased system. However, this practice disregards the weather favorability to recommend spraying to ASR control. The proposition of fungicide schemes to make the ASR control more efficient can be reached by the use of diseasewarning systems. Thus, the current study aimed to assess the performance of different disease-warning systems to determine better fungicide spraying schemes for the ASR control. The experiment was conducted in Piracicaba, SP, Ponta Grossa, PR, Campo Verde and Pedra Preta, MT, Brazil, over the 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 soybean growing seasons. The treatments were: Unsprayed check treatment; Calendar-based sprays in a 14-day interval from R1 stage (CALEND); Disease warning system based on rainfall data with less conservative threshold (PREC_1 - 80% severity cut-off); and more conservative threshold (PREC_2 - 50% severity cut-off); Disease warning system based on air temperature and leaf wetness duration with less conservative threshold (TLWD_1 - 6 lesions cm-2) and more conservative threshold (TLWD_2 - 9 lesions cm-2). The results confirmed that weather conditions in the field trials were favorable to ASR progress. Among the weather elements correlated to severity leaf wetness duration, cumulative rainfall and air temperature during leaf wetness duration influenced positively the ASR. By testing warning systems to control ASR it ones was evidenced that those based on rainfall data presented highest performances. PREC_2 showed a high performance considering all sowing dates; whereas, PREC_1 was better treatment during sowing dates between October and November. The TLWD diseasewarning systems, with both thresholds, overestimated the ASR, recommending more sprays compared to other treatments. Empirical models were efficient for estimation of LWD in Ponta Grossa, Campo Verde and Pedra Preta. High performances in estimating LWD were identified by using number of hours with relative humidity above 90% (NHRH>=90%), being these able to be use as input in the disease-warning systems (RMSE less than 2.0 h). The profitability of use rainfall based warning systems was conditioned by variations in the rainfalls regimes at the studied sites. PREC_1 and PREC_2 presented the highest relative yield gains in relation to CALEND during the period with the highest rainfalls in Piracicaba, Campo Verde and Pedra Preta. However, in Ponta Grossa, the rainfall based warning systems were not effective to control ASR.A ferrugem asiática da soja (ASR), causada pelo fungo Phakopsora pachyrhizi, pode ocasionar elevados prejuízos às lavouras de soja. O controle da doença é realizado por meio de aplicações sequenciais de fungicidas em sistema calendarizado. Este, por sua vez, não considera a favorabilidade climática para recomendar pulverizações. A proposição de esquemas de pulverização mais eficientes pode ser obtida pelo uso de sistemas de alerta fitossanitário. Assim, objetivou-se avaliar o desempenho de diferentes sistemas de alerta fitossanitário, visando à determinação de esquemas de pulverização de defensivos químicos para o controle de ASR nos estados de São Paulo, Paraná e Mato Grosso, Brasil. O experimento foi conduzido em Piracicaba, SP, Ponta Grossa, PR, Campo Verde e Pedra Preta, MT, Brasil ao longo das safras de 2014/2015 e 2015/2016. Os tratamentos foram: Testemunha (sem aplicação); Aplicações calendarizadas a partir de R1, espaçadas em 14 dias (CALEND); Sistema de alerta baseado em dados de chuva limiar menos conservador (PREC_1 - 80% de severidade) e mais conservador (PREC_2 - 50% de severidade); Sistema de alerta baseado em dados de temperatura do ar e a duração do período de molhamento foliar com limiar menos conservador (TDPM_1 - 6 lesões cm2) e com limiar menos conservador (TDPM_2 - 9 lesões cm2). Os resultados obtidos confirmaram que as condições meteorológicas nas localidades estudadas foram favoráveis para o progresso da ASR. Verificou-se que a duração do período de molhamento foliar (DPM), temperatura do ar durante o molhamento e chuva acumulada influenciaram positivamente a ASR. Ao testar os sistemas de alerta no controle de ASR verificou-se que aqueles baseados em dados de chuva apresentaram os melhores desempenhos. O PREC_2 apresentou melhor desempenho em análise geral considerando todas as épocas de semeadura, ao passo que PREC_1 foi melhor quando em semeadura de outubro a novembro. Os sistemas TDPM, com ambos os limiares de ação, superestimaram os valores de ASR acusando um número maior de pulverizações comparada aos demais tratamentos. Modelos empíricos mostraram ser eficientes na estimação da DPM em Ponta Grossa, Campo Verde e Pedra Preta. Estimações pelo método de número de horas com umidade relativa acima de 90% (NHUR>=90%) apresentaram RMSE menor que 2,0 h viabilizando o uso da DPM estimada como variável de entrada de sistema de alerta. A rentabilidade do uso dos sistemas de alerta baseado em dados de chuva foi condicionada às variações no regime dessa variável nas localidades estudadas. PREC_1 e PREC_2 apresentaram maior ganho de produtividade em relação à CALEND durante o período com maior índice pluviométrico nas localidades de Piracicaba, Campo Verde e Pedra Preta. Em contrapartida os sistemas de alerta não foram efetivos no controle de ASR em Ponta Grossa.

Full textAbstract:
Wheat is one of the first domesticated and cultivated crops together with barley. Rust diseases are considered as one of the major threats to wheat production in almost all of the wheat growing areas worldwide and disease control relies mainly on the utilisation of genetic resistance. The general objective of this doctoral study is to reduce the risk of yield loss due to rust diseases by providing genetic knowledge on wheat-rust pathosystems at the molecular level. In this thesis, integrated efforts have been devoted to i: understand rust pathogen populations at the molecular level; ii: characterise genetic resistance in the host; iii: understand the functional mechanisms underlying the plant-microbial interaction; and iv: to inform the effective deployment of characterised genetic resistance. In Chapter 3, the relationship between virulence and molecular patterns using SSR markers on selected isolates of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) collected in Australia during a 52 year period was examined and an evolutionary pathway involving these isolates was proposed. In Chapter 4 and 5, I focused on the stem rust resistance locus Sr26, derived from Thinopyrum ponticum (tall wheat grass), as an excellent example of the successful utilisation of genetic resistance from a wild relative of a crop plant that remains one of the few durable sources of resistance currently effective against all known field isolates of Pgt. I undertook the cloning of Sr26 by MutRenSeq pipeline. A candidate gene of Sr26 was successfully identified and I demonstrated that this gene candidate encoded a CNL (CC-NB-ARC-LRR) type of R protein. In Chapter 6, candidate genes were successfully identified for the stripe rust resistance genes Yr7, Yr5, and YrSP. Chapter 7 comprised the addendum of Chapter 6, the complementary transgenic validation for Yr5 and YrSP were provided.

Full textAbstract:
Stem rust and Yellow rust diseases are the two major wheat fungal diseases causing
considerable yield losses in Turkey and all around the world. There are studies which
are carried out to identify and utilize resistance sources in order to obtain resistant
lines of wheat. However, virulent pathotypes are continuously being important
threats to wheat production and yield. For that reason, new approaches for rapid
identification are needed.
The aim of this study was to investigate and to understand the structural and
functional differences between the resistant and sensitive durum wheat cultivars to
the plant fungal diseases of stem and yellow (stripe) rusts. To aim this, forty durum
wheat recombinant inbred lines (RILs), which were previously determined to be
resistant or sensitive to stem and yellow rust diseases, were investigated by the noninvasive
Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR)
Spectroscopy. Also, classification of the resistant and sensitive lines depending on
the structural and functional differences has been attempted. The FTIR spectra for stem rust disease showed that, resistant durum wheat lines had
a significant increase in the population of unsaturation in acyl chains of lipid
molecules, an increase in lipid and in total protein content and also an increase in
carboxylic acids and alcohols. For yellow rust disease, resistant lines had a
significant increase in hydrogen bonding and they had also a more ordered
membrane structure.
In Principal Component Analysis for stem rust disease, according to 3700-650 cm-1
region, amide III band (1213-1273 cm-1 region) and C-H stretching region (3020-
2800 cm-1), the resistant and sensitive groups were separated successfully. For
yellow rust disease, according to 3700-650 cm-1 region, Amide A and Amide III
bands, the resistant and sensitive lines were grouped distinctly.
FTIR spectroscopy provides a useful approach to determine the differences in
molecular structure of durum wheat RILs regarding resistance of lines to fungal
diseases. However, further research is still needed to ensure if the structural and
functional differences in biomolecules of the samples could be used as molecular
markers for discrimination of rust resistant materials from rust sensitive ones.

Full textAbstract:
The interactions of two cultivars of bean, carrying the resistance genes Ur-D and Ur-Epi respectively, and two races of bean rust, designated P-D or P-Epi, gave a range of responses for a study of the role and cause of necrosis in resistance by optical and electron microscopy and by experimental manipulation.
The expression of incompatibility manifested as visible necrosis, was rapid in the P-D/Ur-D interaction (30-40 h after inoculation) and slow in the P-Epi/Ur-Epi interaction (72-144 h). Host cell necrosis occurred around haustorium-containing cells in the P-D/Ur-D interaction and in advance of fungal mycelia in the P-Epi/Ur-Epi interaction. Quantitative assessment on the basis of individual infection sites showed that necrosis was closely associated with inhibition of fungal growth in both interactions and suggested that the timing of necrosis played an important role.

The rust fungi are obligate biotrophic pathogens of a wide range of plants. The plant-pathogen interactions follow a gene for gene manner: a resistance (R) gene from plants can recognize a corresponding avirulence (Avr) gene from rust fungi. This thesis focused on searches for Avr gene in two rust fungi, the wheat stem rust pathogen Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), and the barley leaf rust pathogen Puccinia hordei (Ph), with Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. In Chapter 2, two Pgt isolates, one wildtype and one mutant derivative that differed in virulence to host R gene Sr50, were sequenced to identify the corresponding Avr gene AvrSr50. Genome comparison of the two isolates revealed amino acid-changing variations in 18 genes encoding haustorially-expressed secreted proteins. One of these genes was validated to encode the AvrSr50 protein, showing for the first time the effectiveness of Avr gene search via comparative genomics in rust fungi. In Chapter 3, a de novo genome assembly was performed for a Ph isolate Ph612, producing 15,913 scaffolds amounting to 127Mbp. A total of 16,354 genes were predicted, including 1,072 secreted protein-encoding genes. In Chapter 4, four additional Ph isolates derived from a same clonal lineage as Ph612 were studied. The five isolates differed in virulence for three barley R genes Rph3, Rph13 and Rph19. To identify the corresponding Avr genes AvrRph3, AvrRph13, and AvrRph19, the isolates were sequenced for genome comparisons, which revealed in 114, 99 and 120 candidates for the three Avr genes, respectively. The results and logical framework presented in this thesis have contributed to the knowledge pool of rust virulence, which will assist in development of novel resistance to these pathogens in both wheat and barley.

This disease can effectively be combatted by implementing rust resistant wheat cultivars. The release of new resistant wheat cultivars is however prolonged due to the time needed to fix resistance genes in a good quality background and develop pure breeding wheat lines. The aim of this study was the pyramiding of novel species derived leaf and stripe rust resistance genes in bread wheat lines through the utilization of high throughput marker assisted selection and microspore derived doubled haploid technology.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Wheat production is globally affected by several different wheat rust diseases. The rust diseases can effectively be controlled by the deployment of multiple resistance genes that confer durable resistance. One of the most effective strategies to incorporate resistance genes is by the implementation of recurrent mass selection as it maximizes opportunities for gene pyramiding. The implementation of a recurrent mass selection program in wheat can effectively be enhanced with the use of genetic male sterility and the incorporation of maker assisted-selection (MAS). The aim of the study was to pyramid wheat rust resistance genes in wheat lines by utilizing a male sterile mediated marker-assisted recurrent selection breeding (MS-MARS) scheme. An existing segregating MS-MARS base population and resistance donor lines carrying genes of interest (Sr26, Sr35 and Sr45) were used as female and male crossing parents. Potential markers for the genes of interest were first identified and validated on the male population. PCR based markers tested for Sr26 and Sr45 easily distinguished between resistant and non-resistant plants in the study, while markers tested for the detection of Sr35 and Sr45 in most instances failed to do so. The identified Sr26 marker (Sr26#43) was successfully added to the SU-PBL’s standardized marker set in a multiplex reaction. The standardized marker set and the co-dominant PCR marker for Sr45 were used to screen male and female populations before and after cross-pollination. Several wheat rust resistance genes were present in various frequencies in both male and female populations prior to the first crossing cycle, except Sr26 and Sr45. Increases in gene frequencies and combinations were obtained after the first crossing cycle, highlighting the effectiveness of the MS-MARS breeding strategy to improve gene frequencies of desirable genes. Two MS-MARS crossing cycles were successfully completed and large numbers of hybrid seeds were produced in a short period of time by selecting male sterile plants based on distinct characteristics induced by the dominant male sterility gene. Future studies will include the wide deployment of Sr26 and Sr45 in the MS-MARS breeding program as markers are now available and can be included in the SU-PBL’s standardized marker set for the effective detection of these genes, the development of gene-specific markers for Sr35 to ascertain the presence of the gene in the MS-MARS population and the specific selection of male sterile plants with wide open glumes to maximize outcrossing rates.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Koring produksie word wêreldwyd aansienlik deur koringroes siektes geaffekteer. Die siektes kan doeltreffend beheer word deur die ontplooing van veelvuldige weerstandsgene, wat langdurige weerstand tot gevolg het. Een van die mees doeltreffendste strategieë om weerstandsgene in n koring plant te inkorporeer is deur die implementering van herhalende massa seleksie (HMS), siende dat dit geleenthede vir geen stapeling maksimaliseer. Die implementering van 'n HMS program in koring kan effektief aangewend word met behulp van genetiese manlike steriliteit en merker bemiddelde seleksie (MBS). Die doelwit van hierdie studie was om veelvuldige koringroes weerstandsgene in koring lyne te stapel met behulp van die manlik steriliteits merker bemiddelde herhalende seleksie (MS-MBHS)-telingsskema. ‘n Gevestigde segregerende MS-MARS basis populasie en donor lyne, wat die gene (Sr26, Sr35 en Sr45) van belang dra, was onderskeidelik as vroulike en manlike kruisingsouers gebruik. Potensiële molekulêre merkers vir die gene van belang was eers geidentifiseer in literatuur en op die donor lyne getoets, voordat dit vir die opsporing van die gene in die nageslag gebruik was. Polimerase ketting reaksie (PKR)-gebaseerde merkers wat getoets was vir Sr26 en Sr45, kon maklik tussen weerstand en nie-weerstandbiedende plante in die studie onderskei, terwyl ander merkers vir die opsporing van Sr35 en Sr45 nie so doeltreffend was nie. Die geidentifiseerde Sr26 merker was suksesvol bygevoeg tot die SU-PBL se gestandardiseerde merkerpaneel, in ‘n multipleks reaksie. Die gestandardiseerde merkerpaneel en die ko-dominante PKR merker vir Sr45 was gebruik om die manlike en vroulike populasie te analiseer vir die teenwoordigheid van verskeie weerstandsgene voor en na kruisbestuiwing. Merker analise het die teenwoordigheid van verskeie koringroes weerstandsgene in verskillende frekwensies in beide die manlike en vroulike populasie voor die eerste kruising siklus aangedui. Sr26 en Sr45 was egter afwesig in beide populasies. ‘n Toename in geen frekwensies en kombinasies was waargeneem na die eerste kruising siklus. Dit het gevolglik die doeltreffendheid van die MS-MARS teling strategie beklemtoon. Twee herhalende kruising siklusse was suksesvol voltooi en groot hoeveelhede bastersaad was verkry vanaf steriele plante wat geselekteer was op grond van unieke eienskappe wat hulle vertoon as gevolg van die manlike steriliteits geen. Toekomstige studies sluit in, die groot skaalse gebruik van Sr26 en Sr45 in die MS-MARS teelprogram aangesien merkers nou beskikbaar is en gebruik kan word in die MS-MARS teelprogram vir die doeltreffende opsporing van hierdie gene, die ontwikkeling van ‘n geen-spesifieke merker vir Sr35 om die teenwoordigheid van die geen in die MS-MARS populasie vas te stel, en die selektering van manlike steriele plante met wyd oop kaffies om kruisbestuiwing te verhoog.

Thesis (PhD (Agric)) -- Stellenbosch University, 2003.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Stripe (yellow) rust of wheat, caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici, was first detected as a single introduction into South Africa in 1996. Two additional pathotypes have since been identified. Control of the disease may be achieved by use of genetic adult plant resistance (APR) as is present in the local cultivar 'Kariega'. The aim of this project was to understand the genetic basis of the APR in 'Kariega' to facilitate breeding of new varieties with genetic resistance to stripe rust. A partial linkage map of a 'Kariega X Avocet S' doubled haploid population covering all 21 wheat chromosomes was generated using 208 DNA markers, viz, 62 SSR, 133 AFLP, 3 RGA and 10 SRAP markers, and 4 alternative loci. The different marker techniques detected varying polymorphism, viz, overall SSR: 46%, AFLP: 7%, SRAP: 6% and RGA: 9%, and the markers produced low levels of missing data (4%) and segregation distortion (5%). A significant feature of the linkage map was the low polymorphism found in the D genome, viz, 19% of all mapped DNA markers, 11% of all AFLP markers and 30% of the total genome map distance. A region exhibiting significant segregation distortion was mapped to chromosome 4A and a seedling resistance gene for stem rust (Puccinia graminis f.sp . tritici), Sr26, mapped to chromosome 6A close to three SSR markers. The leaf tip necrosis gene, Ltn, which was also segregating in the population, mapped to chromosome 7D. Protocols for SRAP and RGA were optimised, and SRAP marker use in wheat genetic linkage studies is reported for the first time. The linkage map was used together with growth chamber and replicated field disease scores for QTL mapping. Chromosomes showing statistically significant QTL effects were then targeted with supplementary SSR markers for higher resolution mapping. The quality of disease resistance phenotypic data was confirmed by correlation analysis between the different scorers for reaction type (0.799±0.023) and for transformed percentage leaf area infected (0.942±0.007). Major QTL were consistently identified on chromosome 7D (explaining some 25-48% of the variation) and on chromosome 2B (21-46%) using transformed percentage leaf area infected and transformed reaction type scores (early and final) with interval mapping and modified interval mapping techniques. Both chromosomal regions have previously been identified in other studies and the 7D QTL is thought likely to be the previously mapped APR gene Yr 18. Minor QTL were identified on chromosomes lA and 4A with the QTL on 4A being more prominent at the early field scoring for both score types. A QTL evidently originating from 'Avocet S' was detected under growth chamber conditions but was not detected in the field, suggesting genotype-environment interaction and highlighting the need for modifications of growth chamber conditions to better simulate conditions in the field. The genetic basis of the APR to stripe rust exhibited by 'Kariega' was established by mapping of QTL controlling this trait. The linkage map constructed will be a valuable resource for future genetic studies and provides a facility for mapping other polymorphic traits in the parents of this population with a considerable saving in costs.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Streep of geelroes van koring word veroorsaak deur Puccinia striiformis f. sp tritici, en is die eerste keer in 1996 in Suid-Afrika na introduksie van 'n enkele patotipe waargeneem. Twee verdere patotipes is sedertdien in Suid-Afrika gei"dentifiseer. Beheer van die siekte word veral moontlik gemaak deur die gebruik van genetiese volwasseplantweerstand soos gei"dentifiseer in die plaaslike kultivar 'Kariega'. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die genetiese grondslag van die streeproesweerstand te ontrafel ten einde die teling van nuwe bestande kultivars moontlik te maak. 'n Verdubbelde haplo1ede populasie uit die kruising 'Kariega X Avocet S' is aangewend om 'n gedeeltelike koppelingskaart vir die volle stel van 21 koring chromosome saam te stel. Die kaart het uit 208 DNA merkers, nl., 62 SSR, 133 AFLP, 3 RGA, 10 SRAP merkers en 4 ander lokusse bestaan. Totale polimorfisme wat deur die verskillende merkersisteme opgespoor is, was as volg: SSR: 46%, RGA: 9%, AFLP: 7% en SRAP: 6%. Die mate van ontbrekende data was gering (4%) asook die mate van segregasie distorsie (5%) van 'n enkele geval wat op chromosoom 4A gekarteer is. 'n Prominente kenmerk van die koppelingskaart is die relatiewe gebrek aan polimorfiese merkers op die D-genoom, nl., slegs 19% van alle DNA merkers en 11% van alle AFLP merkers wat slegs 30% van die totale genoom kaartafstand bestaan het. Die stamroes (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) saailingweerstandsgeen, Sr26, karteer op chromosoom 6A naby drie SSR merkers. Die geen vir blaartipnekrose, Ltn, karteer op chromosoom 7D. Protokolle vir SRAP en RGA merkers is ge-optimiseer en gebruik van SRAP merkers in koppelings-analise word vir die eerste keer in koring gerapporteer. Die koppelingskaart is in kombinasie met groeikamerdata en gerepliseerde veldproefdata gebruik om die gene (QTL) vir volwasseplant streeproesweerstand te karteer. Chromosome met statisties betekenisvolle QTL is met aanvullende SSR merkers geteiken om die resolusie van kartering verder te verhoog. Die kwaliteit van fenotipiese data, soos in die proewe aangeteken, is bevestig deur korrelasies te bereken tussen lesings geneem deur onafhanklike plantpataloe (0.799 ± 0.023 vir reaksietipe en 0.942 ± 0.007 vir getransformeerde persentasie blaaroppervlakte besmet). Hoofeffek QTL vir die twee maatstawwe van weerstand is deur middel van die metodes van interval QTL kartering en gemodifiseerde interval QTL kartering konsekwent op chromosome 7D (25-48% van variasie verklaar) en 2B (21-46% van variasie verklaar) ge"identifiseer. In vorige studies is aangetoon dat beide chromosome 7D en 2B QTL vir volwasseplant streeproesweerstand dra. Die 7D QTL is waarskynlik die weerstandsgeen, Yr 18. QTL met klein effekte op weerstand is op chromosome lA en 4A ge"identifiseer. Die effek van laasgenoemde geen was meer prominent in die velddata in die vroee datum van weerstandsbeoordeling. Een QTL, afkomstig van 'Avocet S', is slegs onder groeikamertoestande identifiseerbaar. Dit dui op moontlike genotipe-omgewing wisselwerking en beklemtoon die noodsaaklikheid om aanpassings te maak in groeikamertoestande vir beter simulasie van veldproeftoestande. Die genetiese grondslag van volwasseplantweerstand teen streeproes in die kultivar 'Kariega' is deur QTL kartering bepaal. Die 'Kariega X Avocet S' koppelingskaart kan as 'n waardevolle basis dien vir toekomstige genetiese ontledings van ander polimorfiese kenmerke in die populasie.

One hundred and eighty, three year old lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Dougl.) seedlings, representing eighteen half sibling families were each inoculated with five different spore sources of western gall rust (Endocronartium harknessii (J.P. Moore) Hiratsuka) in June 1985 to investigate the genetics of disease interaction in this host:parasite system. Possible early symptoms of infection were recorded fourteen days after inoculation. Tabulations of the number of galls per shoot and shoot length were made in September 1985 and June 1986. Fifty-two percent (567 out of 1088) of the inoculated shoots became infected. The mean number of galls per infected shoot was 3.33. Statistical analyses indicated that only horizontal (quantitative) resistance was present in the lodgepole pine -western gall rust pathosystem. The lodgepole pine half sibling families and seedlings varied greatly in their horizontal resistance. The variation in levels of resistance found in lodgepole pine will allow for a successful western gall rust resistance breeding program. The number of galls per tree for the female parent trees did not significantly correlate with the percentage of shoots infected on the half-sibling progeny. Hence, tree breeders will have to test the resistance of progeny. Red staining was found more frequently on shoots that became infected suggesting that red staining is a possible early symptom of infection by western gall rust.Forestry, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
Switchgrass is a C4 perennial grass that is currently being developed for use as a second generation lignocellulosic biofuel crop. For switchgrass to be fully utilized as a bioenergy crop, large-scale plantings of elite switchgrass germplasm, possibly in monoculture, are likely to occur. This practice may increase the selection pressure on plant pathogens, such as switchgrass rust, which could result in devastating disease epidemics. The identification and deployment of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and major plant disease resistance genes (R) in switchgrass breeding programs could offer broad spectrum and durable disease resistance in commercial switchgrass cultivars. 'Alamo', a lowland cultivar, is generally resistant to switchgrass rust whereas 'Dacotah', an upland cultivar, is highly susceptible. I hypothesized that major R genes and/or QTLs were contributing to the differences in disease phenotypes of these two cultivars. In this dissertation, bioinformatics and molecular biology approaches were employed to dissect the genetic mechanisms underlying switchgrass rust disease resistance. Novel pseudo-F2 mapping populations were created from a cross derived from 'Alamo' and 'Dacotah'. RNA-sequencing of the pseudo-F2 progenies of 'Alamo' x 'Dacotah' was used to construct a genetic linkage map and to identify potential QTLs correlating with disease resistance. In addition, a homology-based computational method was used to identify 1,011 potential NB-LRR R genes in the switchgrass genome (v 1.1). These potential R genes were characterized for polymorphism and expression differences between 'Alamo' and 'Dacotah'. Moreover, I found that some NB-LRR genes are developmentally regulated in switchgrass. One of the major objectives of switchgrass breeding programs is to develop cultivars with improved feedstock quality; however, changes in the components of the plant cell wall may affect disease resistance. I hypothesized that genetically modified switchgrass plants with altered cell wall components will respond differently than the wild-type to switchgrass rust. Transgenic switchgrass plants overexpressing AtSHN3, a transcription factor with known functions in epicuticular wax accumulation and cell wall deposition, were created. I found that AtSHN3-overexpressing transgenic switchgrass lines were more susceptible than wild-type plants in their response to switchgrass rust. Overall, the results of this dissertation provide a platform for elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying resistance of switchgrass to switchgrass rust. These findings will help breeders create switchgrass cultivars with improved disease resistance, and will ultimately allow switchgrass to be used for sustainable biomass production.Ph. D.

Nineteen cultivars and fourteen breeding lines were evaluated for partial resistance to crown rust Puccinia coronata race 264. Multivariate statistical methods such as principal component and cluster analyses were employed to identify significant resistance parameters and to group oat genotypes with similar rust resistance characteristics. This involved two separate investigations consisting of two experiments each, the first experiment conducted under field conditions and the second conducted under growth bench conditions. From both of the investigations a group of oat genotypes with high partial resistance to P. coronata race 264 was obtained. These are OA 712-17, OA 712-33, Glen, Woodstock, QO 220.13, and QO 574.21. These oat genotypes are currently being used as parents in crosses in the Macdonald Campus of McGill University oat breeding program.

Full textAbstract:
Wheat (Triticum aestivum and T. Durum) is an extremely important agronomic crop produced worldwide. Wheat consumption has doubled in the last 30 years with approximately 600 million tons consumed per annum. According to the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center, worldwide wheat demand will increase over 40 percent by 2020, while land as well as resources available for the production will decrease significantly if the current trend prevails. The wheat industry is challenged with abiotic and biotic stressors that lead to reduction in crop yields. Increase knowledge of wheat’s biochemical constitution and functional biology is of paramount importance to improve wheat so as to meet with this demand. Pesticides and fungicides are being used to control biotic stress imposed by insect pest and fungi pathogens but these chemicals pose a risk to the environment and human health. To this effect, there is re-evaluation of pesticides currently in use by the Environmental Protection Agency, via mandates of the 1996 Food Quality Protection Act and those with higher perceived risks are banned. Genetic resistance is now a more environmental friendly and effective method of controlling insect pest and rust diseases of wheat than the costly spraying with pesticides and fungicides. Although, resistant cultivars effectively prevent current prevailing pathotypes of leaf rust and biotypes of Russian wheat aphid from attacking wheat, new pathotypes and biotypes of the pathogen/pest may develop and infect resistant cultivars. Therefore, breeders are continually searching for new sources of resistance. Proteomic approaches can be utilised to ascertain target enzymes and proteins from resistant lines that could be utilised to augment the natural tolerance of agronomically favourable varieties of wheat. With this ultimate goal in mind, the aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanism and synchronicity of wheat resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) and Russian wheat aphid (Duiraphis noxia) SA1. To determine the resistance mechanism of the wheat cultivars to leaf rust infection and Russian wheat aphid infestation, a proteomics approach using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was used in order to determine the effect of RWA SA1 on the wheat cultivars proteome. Differentially expressed proteins that were up or down regulated (appearing or disappearing) were identified using PDQuestTM Basic 2-DE Gel analysis software. Proteins bands of interest were in-gel trypsin digested as per the protocol described in Schevchenko et al. (2007) and analysed using a Dionex Ultimate 3000 RSLC system coupled to an AB Sciex 6600 TripleTOF mass spectrometer. Protein pilot v5 using Paragon search engine (AB Sciex) was used for comparison of the obtained MS/MS spectra with a custom database containing sequences of Puccinia triticina (Uniprot Swissprot), Triticum aestivum (Uniprot TrEMBL) and Russian wheat aphid (Uniprot TrEMBL) as well as a list of sequences from common contaminating proteins. Proteins with a threshold of ≥99.9 percent confidence were reported. A total of 72 proteins were putatively identified from the 37 protein spots excised originating from either leaf rust or Russian wheat aphid experiments. Sixty-three of these proteins were associated with wheat response to stress imposed by RWA SA1 feeding while 39 were associated with infection by Puccinia triticina. Several enzymes involved in the Calvin cycle, electron transport and ATP synthesis were observed to be differentially regulated suggesting greater metabolic requirements in the wheat plants following aphid infestation and leaf rust infection. Proteins directly associated with photosynthesis were also differentially regulated following RWA SA1 infestation and P.

Wheat is the most widely grown crop in the world and as such, is an essential source of energy and nutrition. The challenges that breeders presently face is to increase production to feed the rising population of the world, while also accounting for climate change, pollution, water and environmental stresses. As genetic uniformity of modern cultivars has increased vulnerability to pests and diseases, the wild relatives of wheat offer a rich source of genetic diversity and stress tolerance traits, that can be harnessed and transferred in to modern wheat.
In this study, we used array-based genotyping to explore genetic diversity in 385 domesticated and non-domesticated lines of wheat and their wild relatives. Genetic characterization using the wheat 90K array, and subsequent filtering and validation mapped 9,570 single nucleotide polymorphic markers onto the wheat reference genome. Phylogenetic analyses illustrated four major clades, clearly separating the wild species from the domesticated, and the ancient Triticum turgidum species from modern T. turgidum cultivars.
Using this diverse germplasm, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed for leaf rust, the most widespread rust disease of wheat. Identification of novel sources of resistance is necessary to maintain disease resistance and stay ahead in the plant-pathogen evolutionary arms race. GWAS was conducted using eight statistical models for infection types against six leaf rust isolates and leaf rust severity rated in field trials for 3-4 years at 2-3 locations in Canada. Functional annotation of genes containing significant quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) identified 96 disease-related nucleotide associated with leaf rust resistance. A total of 21 QTNs were in haplotype blocks or within flanking markers of at least 16 known leaf rust (Lr) resistance genes. The remaining significant QTNs were considered loci that putatively harbor new Lr resistance genes. Future efforts to validate these loci will help understand their role in disease resistance and promote their utility for marker-assisted selection in pre-breeding.

A demographic census and disease assessment was conducted in 2007 and 2015 in three Tennessee populations of the dioecious shrub,;Buckleya distichophylla (Santalaceae). Population sizes were relatively stable over time and plant heights and numbers of stems per clump were similar among populations. Seedlings were present in all populations, where they represented 14–19% of individuals. Two populations had an equal male:female sex ratio, but a third population was male-biased. Nonflowering individuals comprised 33–41% of individuals in a population. The majority of plants in all populations had high vigor. Spatial analyses revealed clusters of seedlings in two populations and a cluster of low-vigor plants in one population. Cronartium appalachianum, a rust fungus dependent upon;Pinus virginiana and B. distichophylla as primary and alternate hosts, respectively, was present in all populations with prevalences on B. distichophylla of 19–29%, but there was no spatial clustering of disease in populations. The tree species nearest to B. distichophyllavaried among populations with Tsuga canadensis predominant in one population, T. caroliniana in another, and P. virginiana in the third. Buckleya distichophylla in proximity to P. virginiana had a higher than expected prevalence of C. appalachianum infection.

Coffee crop is of major importance to Brazil, being cultivated on more than 2 million hectares. It is a strategic commodity for the country, which is the main world producer. Several factors influence the yields, mainly a disease known as coffee leaf rust (CLR), caused by the fungus Hemileia vastatarix. This disease can reduce yield up to 35% and the most common strategy for CLR controlling is by spraying fungicides, with interval based on the residual period and according to regional CLR intensity. This traditional way does not consider the climate influence on disease development. With the aim of developing a forecast system (FS) for CLR management, employing weather data from CLR field assessments since 1998, several steps were performed: a) CLR epidemiology analysis; b) correlation between disease progress rates and weather variables; c) development of a forecast system, in order to rationalize chemical control; d) assessment of the FS performance on field trials; e) generation of an agro-climatic index for CLR risk assessment in Brazilian coffee areas; and f) evaluation of possible El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influence on CLR epidemics. Analising 88 siteseason CLR epidemics, from Varginha, Boa Esperança and Carmo de Minas, MG, the best fit was obtained by Gompertz model. Using stepwise method, CLR infection rates were estimated with multiple linear regressions, using minimum temperature and relative humidity as inputs. The model performed well, presenting less than 9.5% of false negatives in the months assessed. To evaluate CLR forecast system, two field trials were performed during 2015-16 season (Varginha and Boa Esperança), and five during 2016-17 season (Varginha, Boa Esperança, Uberlândia, Buritizal, and Campinas). The FS treatments performed better than the calendar spray system in six trials, with the exception for Campinas. The poor FS performance in Campinas evidenced the necessity of FS threshold calibration at sites different from the region where the FS was developed, once it is empirical. In order to assess the risk, the estimated CLR infection rate was evaluated for 46 different sites in Brazilian coffee producing region. Historical weather data since 1961 to 2015 for each site was used to estimate daily values of cumulative infection rate (CIR). Each site and season were classified into five CIR scores from Very Low (score 0) to Very High (score 4). The risk was spatialized using multiple linear regression based on geographical coordinates and altitude. The Brazilian coffee region was classified into four risk classes, being most of them between Medium to High risks in the area currently cultivated with coffee. For the same historical serie, CIR was estimated for 45 locations and then classified by ENSO phases: El Niño (EN); Neutral (NT); and La Niña (LN). A predominant absence of ENSO effect on CLR in Brazil was observed. Only in Paraná and São Paulo states there was ENSO effect, with higher CIR during EN seasons.O cultivo do cafeeiro é de grande importância para o Brasil, sendo cultivado em mais de 2 milhões de hectares. Diversas doenças influenciam a produtividade, sendo a ferrugem do cafeeiro (CLR), a principal. Ocasionada pelo fungo Hemileia vastatrix, a CLR é capaz de reduzir a produtividade em até 35%. A estratégia mais comum de controle dessa doença é a aplicação de fungicidas foliares, baseado no período residual e de acordo com a intensidade da doença na região. Este método tradicional não considera a influência do clima no desenvolvimento da doença. Com o objetivo de desenvolver um sistema de previsão (FS) para o manejo da CLR utilizando dados de experimentos de campo obtidos desde 1998, diversas etapas foram realizadas: a) análise epidemiológica; b) relação da taxa de progresso da doença com variáveis ambientais; c) desenvolvimento do FS, visando racionalizar o controle químico; d) avaliação do desempenho do FS, em experimentos de campo; e) geração de índices agroclimáticos de favorabilidade para a ocorrência da CLR nas áreas produtoras de café do Brasil; e f) avaliar efeitos do fenômeno El Niño Oscilação Sul (ENOS) nas epidemias de CLR. Foram analisadas 88 epidemias de CLR, em Varginha, Boa Esperança e Carmo de Minas, MG, sendo o modelo de Gompertz o que resultou em melhor ajuste à curva de progresso da doença. Usando metodologia stepwise, as taxas de progresso mensais da doença foram estimadas com regressões lineares múltiplas, baseada em dados de temperatura mínima e umidade relativa do ar. O melhor modelo de estimativa resultou em menos de 9.5% de ocorrências de falso negativos, durante os meses avaliados. Para avaliar o desempenho do FS, dois experimentos foram realizados na safra 2015-16 (Varginha e Boa Esperança, MG) e cinco na safra 2016-17 (Varginha, Boa Esperança, Uberlândia, Buritizal e Campinas). Os tratamentos baseados no FS resultaram em melhor desempenho que o sistema tradicional em seis experimentos, à exceção de Campinas. Este desempenho inferior evidenciou a necessidade de calibração de limiares em diferentes locais, diferentes da região onde o FS foi desenvolvido, devido a sua base empírica. Para avaliar o risco da doença, a taxa de progresso diária foi estimada em 46 locais da região produtora de café, durante as estações de cultivo disponíveis, em uma base de dados históricos de 1961 a 2015, gerando as taxas de progresso acumuladas (CIR). Para cada local e estação, cinco classes com pontuação de Muito Baixo (0) a Muito Alto (4) foram atribuídas, gerando valores de risco. Utilizando regressão linear múltipla, o risco para a CLR foi espacializado em função dos valores de coordenadas geográficas e altitude. Os riscos Médio e Alto foram os mais comuns onde atualmente se cultiva café. No mesmo período de dados meteorológicos, a CIR de 45 locais foi estimada, sendo as estações classificadas em função das possíveis fases de ENOS: El Niño (EN), Neutro (NT) e La Niña (LN). Houve predominio da ausência de efeito do ENOS na CLR no Brasil. Apenas nos estados do PR e SP o EN induziu a uma maior CIR.

Full textAbstract:
Yellow rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici Eriksson is one of the most severe leaf diseases of wheat. Aim of this study is to illuminate the downstream signaling pathways upon incompetible infection of rust pathogen in wheat, thus to understand the genes involved in resistance mechanism. The strategy used is the dual bait yeast two-hybrid analysis which is the most powerful method for in vivo detection of protein-protein interactions. The bait proteins used arethe domains of Yr10 yellow rust resistance gene, Rad6 gene which is considered to have a critical role in R gene mediated signaling pathway, and WR5 gene fragment which is an unknown protein having homology to the WD40 repeat containing protein with apoptosis related activity. Screening of a yeast prey library with these baits revealed proteins having mostly apoptosis related functions (SRP72, POR1, CSE1), translation initiation control in response to stress conditions (Gcn2p, Eap1p), phosphorylation (SKY1) and dephosphorylation activities (GAC1), cell cycle control (FAR1), oxidative stress control (OXR1), protein degradation control (TOM1), protein folding control (CPR7) and ion homeostasis in the cell (POR1, GAC1). The significance of the study can be summarized as i) being the first yeast two hybrid analysis of a wheat R gene, ii) being able to detect interacting partners with anticipated functions, iii) most importantly, initiating further detailed analysis of the key interactors.

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) catalyses undesirable darkening in wheat products such as Asian noodles. Genetic variation for PPO activity is characterized in bread wheat. Australian wheat breeding programmes recognize that reduced PPO activity is an important quality target. Despite this interest from breeders, no varieties possessing extremely low and null PPO activity exist. The development of null PPO wheat varieties is dependant on an understanding of the genetic control of the null phenotype. Knowledge of these factors will accelerate efforts to develop them. The inheritance of PPO activity was investigated in two populations that were derived from hybrids between a null PPO genotype and Australian wheat varieties Lang and QAlBis. Observed genetic ratios were consistent with two and three gene control, respectively in these populations. QTL mapping was performed in the QALBis x VAW08-A17 population. The Diversity Array Technology (DArT) approach was employed to genotype the QALBis x VAW08-A17 population. Three highly significant QTLs that control PPO activity were identified on chromosomes 2AL, 2BS and 2DL. Close associations between PPO activity and DArT marker loci wPt-7024, wPt-0094 and wPt-2544 were observed, respectively. Collectively, these loci explained 74% of the observed variation in PPO activity across seasons. Significant QTLs on chromosomes 1B and 3B were also identified that together explained an additional 17% of variation in PPO activity. The relationship between PPO activity and yellow alkaline noodles (YAN) colour stability parameters was investigated in a DM5637*B8 x H45 doubled haploid population. PPO activity and changes in YAN brightness (ΔL* 0-24h) and yellowness (Δb* 0-24h) in both seasons were analysed. Quantitative trait analyses of PPO activity, flour yellowness (b*) and YAN colour stability was also conducted in this population. QTL mapping of variation in PPO activity in the DM5637*B8 x H45 DH population identified a highly significant QTL on chromosome 2AL, which explained 52% of the observed variation across seasons. Regression analysis identified that wPt-7024 was highly significantly associated with PPO activity in this population. A highly significant association between this marker and PPO was also identified in the QALBis x VAW08-A17 population. Collectively, the three identified QTLs (on chromosomes 2AL, 7A and 7B) explained 71% of variation in PPO activity across seasons. A highly significant (P<0.001) QTL on chromosome 2B along with significant (P<0.01) QTLs on the chromosomes 1A, 3B, 4B and 5B were found to control flour yellowness. The QTLs on 2B, 4B and 5B were detected in both seasons analysed and accounted for 90% of variation in flour b* across seasons. The study on YAN colour stability located two highly significant (P<0.001) QTLs and two significant (P<0.01) QTLs that controlled the change in brightness of yellow alkaline noodle. The 2A QTL accounted for 64% of observed variation across seasons. It was in the same location as the PPO QTL and shared a common closest marker wPt-7024. Only one significant QTL for YAN a* (0-24h) was identified. It accounted for 12% of variation across seasons and was only detected in one season. One highly significant (P<0.001) QTL and two significant (P<0.01) QTLs were identified that controlled the change in yellowness of yellow alkaline noodle. The 2A QTL accounted for 68% of observed variation across seasons. The location of this QTL corresponded with that of 2A QTLs for PPO activity and L* of YAN in this study. Furthermore, wPt-7024 was also identified as the marker with the most significant association with L*. The identification of a correlation between the characters and a common location of a highly significant QTL for each of these characters indicates that it is likely that PPO activity is directly responsible for a large proportion of the changes in brightness and yellowness of YAN. QTLs for L* and b* of YAN were detected in a common location on chromosome 1A. However, no corresponding QTL was identified that controls PPO activity, highlighting the complexity of the relationship between these traits. Resistance to three rust pathogens (Puccinia graminis, Puccinia striiformis, and Puccinia triticina) was also investigated in the DM5637*B8 x H45 DH population because they are major yield limiting diseases in wheat. Disease response data at the seedling stage were converted to genotypic scores for rust genes Sr24/Lr24, Sr36, Lr13 and Yr7 to construct a genetic linkage map. No recombination was observed between rust resistance genes Sr36, Lr13 and Yr7 in this DH population. Therefore, these genes mapped in the same position on chromosome 2B. The Lr24/Sr24 locus was incorporated into the chromosome 3D map. Interval mapping analysis identified QTLs on chromosomes 2B, 3B, 4B and 5B that control adult plant resistance (APR) to stripe rust. Two QTLs on chromosomes 2B and 3D were identified that controlled APR to leaf rust in this DH population.

O milho é uma das culturas mais extensamente cultivadas em todo mundo. A incidência e a severidade de doenças têm aumentado significativamente nos últimos anos acarretando perdas no rendimento e afetando a qualidade dos grãos. Muitos trabalhos têm sido desenvolvidos na tentativa de identificar híbridos resistentes às principais doenças que acometem a cultura do milho, mas poucos são os relatos de estudos com linhagens. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi: 1) identificar linhagens resistentes e susceptíveis com base na área abaixo da curva de progresso de doenças (AACPD) para os sintomas de ferrugem tropical (TR), ferrugem polissora (SR), cercosporiose (GLS), helmintosporiose (NLB), mancha marrom (PBS) e mancha branca (PLS); 2) identificar linhagens resistentes e suscetíveis com base nos parâmetros de adaptabilidade e estabilidade fenotípica para os sintomas de cercosporiose, helmintosporiose, mancha marrom e mancha branca; 3) identificar as melhores datas de semeadura, com a maior ocorrência das doenças, para fins de avaliação de linhagens e outros genótipos para resistência. Cinquenta linhagens, derivadas de populações com grãos flint e dent, foram avaliadas em blocos casualizados com três repetições, aos 45, 60, 75 e 90 dias após a semeadura em duas épocas, para medição da AACPD. Para a análise de adaptabilidade e estabilidade, 41 linhagens foram avaliadas em blocos casualizados com três repetições, 30 dias após o florescimento feminino, em onze épocas de semeadura, usando o método de análise de regressão. Foram atribuídas notas de 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 e 9 correspondendo a 0, 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80 e > 80% de área foliar com sintomas de doença. Para a AACPD, a análise de variância conjunta foi significativa para TR, SR, GLS e PLS e a interação linhagens x épocas foi significativa para ferrugem tropical e polissora. Para GLS e NLB as 41 linhagens foram classificadas como resistentes, sendo que as maiores severidades de doenças ocorreram nas semeaduras entre Junho e Setembro. As linhagens IVF1-3, IVF1-7, IVF1 -9, IVF1-10, IVF1 -11, IVF1 -25, IVF1-230, IVD1-2, IVD1 -2-1, IVD1-3, IVD1-9, IVD1 -12, 2F, 3F, 6F, 9F, 10F, 4C, 2D e 7D foram classificadas como resistentes para as doenças estudadas, sendo indicadas para o desenvolvimento de sintéticos. Para a mancha marrom e mancha branca, as semeaduras de Abril, Junho, Julho e Agosto apresentaram maiores severidades de doenças. As linhagens IVD1-9, IVD1-10, 7D, 10D e 2F podem ser indicadas no desenvolvimento de sintéticos resistentes.
Corn is one of the most widely cultivated crops in the worldwide. The incidence and severity of diseases affecting crops have increased significantly in the past years, leading to yield losses and affecting grain quality. Many studies have been carried out with the attempt to identify hybrids that are resistant to the main diseases, but few reports have studied inbred lines. Therefore, the objectives of this study were: 1) identify resistant and susceptible inbred lines based on the area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) for tropical rust, southern rust, gray leaf spot, northern leaf blight, physoderma brown spot and phaeosphaeria leaf spot; 2) identify resistant and susceptible inbred lines based on adaptability and stability parameters for symptoms of gray leaf spot (GLS), northern leaf blight (NLB), physoderma brown spot (PBS) and phaeosphaeria leaf spot (PLS); 3) identify the best planting dates, with the highest occurrence of diseases, for the purpose of evaluating inbred lines and other genotypes for resistance. For AUDPC, fifty inbred lines, derived from populations with flint and dent grains, were evaluated in randomized block designs with three replications, at 45, 60, 75 and 90 days after planting in two seasons. For the analysis of adaptability and stability, forty-one inbred lines were evaluated in randomized blocks with three replications, 30 days after silking, in eleven planting dates, using regression analysis method. The scale of scores from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 corresponding to 0, 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80 and > 80% of leaf area with disease symptoms was used. For AUDPC, the joint analysis of variance was significant for TR, SR, GLS and PLS, while the interaction inbred lines x environments, was significant for TR and SR. For GLS and NLB, forty-one inbred lines were classified as resistant and the highest severities of diseases occurred in planting dates between June and September. The inbred lines IVF1-3, IVF1-7, IVF1 -9, IVF1-10, IVF1 -11, IVF1 -25, IVF1-230, IVD1-2, IVD1 -2-1, IVD1-3, IVD1-9, IVD1 -12, 2F, 3F, 6F, 9F, 10F, 4C, 2D and 7D were classified as resistant to the diseases studied and are indicated to produce synthetics. For PBS and PLS, the plating dates of April, June, July and August showed higher disease severity. The inbred lines IVD1-9, IVD1-10, 7D,10D and 2F may be indicated to produce synthetics.

Thesis ( MScAgric) -- Stellenbosch University, 1997.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Stem rust is considered the most damaging of the wheat rusts causing yield losses of more than 50% in epidemic years. Similarly, Russian wheat aphids (RWA) can be regarded as one ofthe most devastating insect pests of wheat. Yield losses due to R W A primarily result from a reduction in plant resources (sucking plant sap). Secondary losses are incurred by viruses transmitted during feeding. Mapping disease and insect resistance genes that are effective against prevailing pathotypes and biotypes of South Africa will optimize their utilization in breeding programmes. The wheat line, 87M66-2-l, is homozygous for a single dominant stem rust resistance gene located on chromosome lD. This stem rust resistance gene has been derived from Triticum tauschii accession RL5289 and is here referred to as Srtau. The aim of this study was to determine the chromosome arm involved. Following the chromosome arm allocation of Srtau, its possible linkage with the genes Rg2, Lr 21 , Sr X and Sr 33 was studied. A telosomic analysis has shown that Srtau is located on chromosome arm 1 DS and is linked to the centromere with a recombination frequency of 21 ± 3 .40%. Glume blotch and a heavy mildew infection of segregating families planted in the field in 1996 made the linkage study between Lr 21 (leaf rust resistance) and Rg2 (glume colour) impossible. However, estimated linkages of 9 ± 1.9 map units between Sr33 (stem rust resistance) and Srtau, ± 6 map units between Sr X (stem rust resistance) and Sr 3 3 and ± 1 0 map units between Sr X and Srtau suggested that SrX, Sr33 and Srtau are closely linked on I DS. Taking existing map data into consideration, it seems that the most likely order of the genes is: centromere - Srtau - Sr 3 3 - Sr X. A single dominant R W A resistance gene, Dn5, was identified in the T aestivum accession 'SA 463' and is located on chromosome 7D. The aim ofthis study was to determine the chromosome arm involved. The possible linkage of Dn5 with the endopeptidase locus, Ep-D1 b. and chlorina mutant gene, cn-D1, was then studied. Endopeptidase zymograms of 'SA 463' revealed two unknown polymorphisms. F 2 monosomic analyses involving the chromosomes 7 A, 7B and 7D were performed in an attempt to identify the loci associated with these polymorphisms. Dn5 was mapped on chromosome arm 7DL. A recombination frequency of60 ± 4.53% between Dn5 and the centromere suggested the absence of linkage. Linkage between Ep-Dl and cn-Dl could not be calculated as a result of similar isoelectric points of the 7DL encoded endopeptidases of the parental material studied. Recombination frequencies of32 ± 4.97% between Dn5 and EpDl and 37 ± 6.30% between Dn5 and cn-Dl were, however, encountered. The two novel endopeptidase alleles encountered in 'SA 463' were designated as Ep-Dle and Ep-Ald. A RWA resistance gene was transferred from the rye accession ' Turkey 77' to wheat and in the process the RWA resistant wheat lines 91M37-7 and 91M37-51 were derived. No rye chromatin could be detected in these plants following C-banding. The aim of this study was to determine (i) on which chromosome the gene(s) is located, and (ii) whether the resistance can be the result of a small intercalary translocation of rye chromatin. A monosomic analysis of the RWA resistance gene in 91M37-51 has shown that a single dominant resistance gene occurs on chromosome 7D. The use of rye-specific dispersed probes did not reveal any polymorphisms between the negative controls and RW A resistant lines 91M3 7- 7 and 91M37-51 which would suggest that it is unlikely that the resistance was derived from rye.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Stamroes word as die mees vemietigende graanroessiekte beskou en het in epidemiese jare oesverliese van meer as 50% tot gevolg. Russiese koringluise is eweneens een van die emstigste insekplae van koring. Russiese koringluise veroorsaak oesverliese deurdat dit plantsap uitsuig en die plant van voedingstowwe beroof. Dit tree egter ook as 'n virusvektor op en kan so indirekte oesverliese veroorsaak. Kartering van siekte- en insekweerstandsgene wat effektief is teen die Suid-Afrikaanse patotipes en biotipes, sal hulle gebruik in teelprogramme optimiseer. Die koringlyn, 87M66-2-l , is homosigoties vir 'n dominante stamroes-weerstandsgeen wat op chromosoom ID voorkom. Hierdie weerstandsgeen is uit die Triticum tauschii aanwins, RL5289, afkomstig en word hiema verwys as Srtau. Daar is gepoog om te bepaal op watter chromosoomarm Srtau voorkom, waama sy koppeling met betrekking tot die gene Rg2, Lr21 , SrX en Sr33 bepaal is. 'n Telosoomanalise het getoon dat Srtau op chromosoom-arm 1 DS voorkom en gekoppel is aan die sentromeer met 'n rekombinasie-frekwensie van 21 ± 3.40%. Segregerende populasies wat in 1996 in die land geplant is, is hewig deur aarvlek en poeieragtige meeldou besmet en dit het die moontlike bepaling van koppeling tussen Lr21 (blaarroesweerstand) en Rg2 (aarkaffie kleur) belemmer. Koppelingsafstande van 9 ± 1. 9 kaart-eenhede tussen Sr 33 (stamroesweerstand) en Srt au, ± 6 kaart -eenhede tussen Sr X ( stamroesweerstand) en Sr 3 3 en ± 1 0 kaart -eenhede tussen SrX en Srtau is geraam en toon dat SrX, Sr33 en Srtau nou gekoppel is. Die waarskynlikste volgorde van die gene op lDS is: sentromeer- Srtau- Sr33- SrX. 'n Enkele dominante Russiese koringluis-weerstandsgeen, Dn5, is in dieT aestivum aanwins 'SA 463 ' ge"identifiseer en kom op chromosoom 7D voor. Die studie het ten doel gehad om te bepaal op watter chromosoom-arm Dn5 voorkom, asook wat die koppeling van Dn5 met die endopeptidase lokus, Ep-Dl, en die chlorina mutante geen, cn-Dl , is. Endopeptidase simograrnme van 'SA 463' het twee onbekende polimorfismes getoon. Die gene wat kodeer vir hierdie twee polimorfismes is met behulp van F2 monosoom-analises wat die chromosome 7 A, 7B en 7D betrek, gei:dentifiseer. Dn5 is op chromosoom 7DL gekarteer. 'n Rekombinasie-frekwensie van 60 ± 4.53% is gevind vir die sentromeer en Dn5 en dui op die afwesigheid van koppeling. Koppeling tussen Ep-Dl en cn-Dl kon nie bepaal word nie omdat die endopeptidase bande geproduseer deur die ouerlike materiaal wat in die studie gebruik is, nie met sekerheid in die nageslag onderskei kon word nie. Rekombinasie-frekwensies van 32 ± 4.97% tussen Dn5 en Ep-Dl en 37 ± 6.30% tussen Dn5 en cn-Dl is egter bereken. Dit word voorgestel dat daar na die twee onbekende endopeptidase-allele wat in 'SA 463 ' voorkom, verwys word as Ep-Dle en Ep-Ald. 'n Russiese koringluis-weerstandsgeen is uit die rog-aanwins, 'Turkey 77', oorgedra na koring en in die proses is die Russies koringluis weerstandbiedende lyne, 91M37-7 en 91M37-51 , geproduseer. Geen rog-chromatien kon egter met behulp van C-bande in hierdie lyne waargeneem word nie. Die doel van die studie was om te bepaal (i) op watter chromosoom die geen(e) voorkom, en (ii), of die Russiese koringluis weerstandsgeen die gevolg kan wees van 'n klein interkalere translokasie van rog- chromatien. 'n Monosoom-analise van die Russiese koringluis-weerstandsgeen in 91M37-51 het getoon dat 'n enkele dominante weerstandsgeen op chromosoom 7D voorkom. Rog-spesifieke herhalende peilers het geen polimorfismes tussen negatiewe kontroles en die Russiese koringluis weerstandbiedende lyne 91M37-7 en 91M37-51 getoon nie. Dit is dus onwaarskynlik dat die weerstand in die lyne uit rog verhaal is.

Resumo: A utilização de pesticidas na agricultura é prática usual no controle de pragas, doenças ou plantas daninhas para que se consiga obter altos índices de produtividade e desta maneira atender à demanda mundial crescente de alimentos. Os pesticidas quando aplicados em condições brasileiras, podem apresentar algumas propriedades que possam prejudicar determinados compartimentos ambientais. Uma ferramenta importante para avaliar o destino ambiental destes produtos aplicados na agricultura é a utilização de modelos matemáticos nos quais permitem prever para qual ou quais compartimentos ambientais a molécula do fungicida tende a caminhar. Este trabalho teve por objetivos: (a) avaliar o efeito do tetraconazole no controle da ferrugem nos dois sistemas de semeadura; (b) avaliar o comportamento ambiental do tetraconazole, aplicando o conceito matemático de fugacidade nível I e II; (c) avaliar o destino ambiental do tetraconazole através das análises químicas de resíduo e (d) avaliar a acuracidade do modelo de fugacidade gerado com os de resíduo (analítico/laboratorial) obtidos. O método analítico consistiu na extração dos resíduos de tetraconazole com acetato de etila em presença de Na2SO4 e a determinação quantitativa foi realizada por técnica de cromtografia em fase gasosa, utilizando-se do cromatógrafo equipado com detector seletivo de massas (GC/MS). Os modelos de previsões nível I e II apresentaram resultados semelhantes à análise cromatográfica, onde indicaram que os compartimentos com maior afinidade ao tetraconazole foram o solo e a planta (folhas, caules, raízes e grãos em enchimento) para os sistemas de semeadura convencional e direta e a palha para o sistema de semeadura direta. Nos grãos de soja após a colheita, não foram detectados nenhum resíduo do tetraconazole após a terceira aplicação nos dois sistemas de semeadura. Os dados de previsão ambiental do tetraconazole através de modelos matemáticos, em específico o de fugacidade comprovaram-se como uma excelente ferramenta para a predição em quais compartimentos este fungicida estaria presente de forma simples e rápida, corroborados pelos dados analíticos de resíduos laboratoriais, estes por sua vez dispendiosos e demorados
Abstract: The pesticide utilization in agriculture is a common practice to control pests, diseases or weeds to obtain high levels of productivity and this way supply the increasing worldwide demand for food. Pesticides when used in brazilians conditions may show some proprieties that could cause damage in certain environmental compartments. A important tool to evaluate the final environmental destination of these products are mathematical models, which allow predicting which of the environmental compartments the pesticide molecule tends to go. This work aimed to: (a) evaluate the effect of the tetraconazole in the control of Asian rust on both sowing system; (b) evaluate the environmental behavior destiny of the tetraconazole, applying the mathematical concept of fugacity level I and II; (c) evaluate the environmental destiny of the tetraconazole through residual chemistry analysis and (d) evaluate the accuracy of the generated fugacity model results with the residuals results (analytic/laboratory) obtained. The analytic method consisted in the tetraconazole residual extraction with ethyl acetate and Na2SO4, and gas chromatography with a selective mass detector (GC/MS) was used for quantitative determination. The predictions models level I and II showed similar results to the chromatographic analysis, which indicated that the compartments with higher affinity to tetraconazole were the soil and plant (leaves, stem, roots and grain filling) for conventional and direct sowing system, and the straw for direct sowing system. After harvested weren't detected any trace of tetraconazole in the soybeans after the third application in both sowing system.

Orientador: João Antonio da Costa AndradeResumo: O milho é uma das culturas mais extensamente cultivadas em todo mundo. A incidência e a severidade de doenças têm aumentado significativamente nos últimos anos acarretando perdas no rendimento e afetando a qualidade dos grãos. Muitos trabalhos têm sido desenvolvidos na tentativa de identificar híbridos resistentes às principais doenças que acometem a cultura do milho, mas poucos são os relatos de estudos com linhagens. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi: 1) identificar linhagens resistentes e susceptíveis com base na área abaixo da curva de progresso de doenças (AACPD) para os sintomas de ferrugem tropical (TR), ferrugem polissora (SR), cercosporiose (GLS), helmintosporiose (NLB), mancha marrom (PBS) e mancha branca (PLS); 2) identificar linhagens resistentes e suscetíveis com base nos parâmetros de adaptabilidade e estabilidade fenotípica para os sintomas de cercosporiose, helmintosporiose, mancha marrom e mancha branca; 3) identificar as melhores datas de semeadura, com a maior ocorrência das doenças, para fins de avaliação de linhagens e outros genótipos para resistência. Cinquenta linhagens, derivadas de populações com grãos flint e dent, foram avaliadas em blocos casualizados com três repetições, aos 45, 60, 75 e 90 dias após a semeadura em duas épocas, para medição da AACPD. Para a análise de adaptabilidade e estabilidade, 41 linhagens foram avaliadas em blocos casualizados com três repetições, 30 dias após o florescimento feminino, em onze épocas de semeadura, us...

Full textAbstract:
Whitebark pine is an important keystone and foundation species in western North American mountain ranges, and facilitates tree island development in Rocky Mountain treelines. The manifestation of white pine blister rust in the cold and dry treelines of the Rockies, and the subsequent infection and mortality of whitebark pines raises questions as to how these extreme environments harbor the invasive disease, and what the consequences may be for treeline dynamics. This dissertation research comprises three studies that investigate abiotic factors influential for blister rust infection in treeline whitebark pines, how disease coupled with changing climate may affect whitebark pine treeline dynamics, and the connection between treeline spatial patterns and disease. The first study examined the spatial variation of blister rust infection in two whitebark pine treeline communities, and potential topographic correlates. Using geospatial and field approaches to generate high resolution terrain models of treeline landscapes, microtopography associated with solar radiation and moisture were found most influential to blister rust infection in treeline whitebark pines. Using field-based observations from sampled treeline communities, the second study developed an agent-based model to examine the effects of disease and climate on treeline pattern and process. Treeline dynamics were simulated under five hypothetical scenarios to assess changes in tree spatial patterns and populations. Blister rust-induced loss of whitebark pines resulted in a decline of facilitative processes, and an overall negative treeline response to disease—despite the beneficial effects of climate amelioration. The objective of the third study was to explore whether spatial patterns of tree proximity, size, and growth infer disease patterns. Comparing spatial patterns of tree characteristics between diseased and undiseased treeline communities, I found that trees growing near trees with larger stem diameters, and larger tree islands, tended to have more blister rust cankers, and displayed clustered spatial patterns. Undiseased treeline patterns revealed near neighbors smaller in stem diameter and tree island size, and were randomly dispersed. Blister rust diseased whitebark pines reveal spatial autocorrelation, despite the complex blister rust disease life cycle. Overall, findings from this dissertation reveal the implications of invasive disease on sensitive treeline ecotones dependent on a keystone species.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis was to study interactions between systemic fungal diseases and perennial plants. Using the systemic rust Puccinia minussensis on the host plant Lactuca sibirica, and the rust Puccinia pulsatillae on the host plant Pulsatilla pratensis, this thesis focused on: (i) the effects of systemic diseases on their hosts (ii) host and pathogen responses to abiotic factors, (iii) the importance of life history strategies for understanding host-pathogen interactions, and (iv) the evolutionary consequences of living in close associations. Results of greenhouse experiments showed that Lactuca sibirica had a high plasticity in growth, since it produced significantly more shoots in favourable than in unfavourable growth conditions. Both the disease levels and the number of healthy shoots (i.e. escape) were significantly higher under favourable conditions. Disease spread within the rhizome was found to be incomplete, and the risk of aecidial- infection decreased with distance from the parent. Furthermore, one isolate of the fungus had highest success and reduced the host plant biomass and shoot production more on the clone it was collected on compared to four other clones . In the field, disease levels were found to fluctuate more at localities subjected to disturbance, the host and pathogen abundances were found to be in phase and the pathogen showed no delayed response to increasing host densities. The rust Puccinia pulsatillae on Pulsatilla pratensis showed no fluctuations between years, low infection rates, and disease levels were higher in ungrazed compared to grazed sites. There was no escape from the disease in this system. A comparison of characteristics of different systemic fungi and hosts with different growth patterns indicated that the life history strategies of both host plants and pathogens need to be studied if the long-term consequences of host-pathogen interactions are to be predicted.Diss.

Com o aumento da população mundial, torna-se necessário a busca de tecnologias para o incremento da produção de alimentos. O cultivo da soja (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) destaca-se entre as atividades econômicas mundiais que apresentam crescimentos expressivos nas últimas décadas e apesar da crescente expansão territorial e produção agrícola, tem a produtividade influenciada por fatores externos e internos durante o cultivo, sendo o principal deles, a incidência de doenças. Atualmente, a doença mais preocupante é a ferrugem da soja, causada pelo fungo Phakopsora pachyrhizi Sydow & Sydow. Para o controle desta doença devastadora, recomenda-se a aplicação concomitante de fungicidas triazóis e estrobilurinas, que, conforme alguns dados da literatura, além de atuarem de forma protetora e curativa, apresentam efeitos na produtividade. O objetivo do trabalho foi esclarecer o efeito fisiológico do triazol ciproconazol e da estrobilurina azoxistrobina em plantas de soja sem incidência de ferrugem. O trabalho foi realizado em casa de vegetação no Departamento de Ciências Biológicas da ESALQ/ USP, em Piracicaba, SP no período entre dezembro de 2008 a maio de 2009 com plantas de soja cultivar Pintado. As condições hídricas e do solo foram mantidas conforme as recomendações para a cultura. Os tratamentos foram constituídos pelos fungicidas Ciproconazol (triazol), Azoxistrobina (estrobilurina) e Óleo mineral (Nimbus) e as aplicações realizadas nos estádios R1, R4 (duas aplicações) e R1, R4 R5,4 (três aplicações). Foram analisados aspectos de produção (Número, massa fresca, seca e média das vagens, massa seca de grãos e peso de 100 grãos) e aspectos anatômicos (espessura do limbo foliar, espessura e largura da nervura central, espessura do xilema e do floema), sendo que nestas análises, foram utilizados apenas os tratamentos em que foram realizados três aplicações do fungicida. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos inteiramente ao acaso, com 9 tratamentos e 5 blocos. Os resultados apontam redução no número de vagens por planta, massa fresca e seca das vagens, número de grãos e massa seca de grãos tratados com a mistura entre o triazol e a estrobilurina. Sob o aspecto anatômico, houve incremento na espessura do limbo foliar, espessura e largura da nervura central e a espessura do sistema vascular (xilema e floema). Com base nos dados obtidos no trabalho, conclui-se que, nas condições em que foi realizado, a aplicação do triazol e da estrobilurina em plantas de soja restringe o potencial de produção de grãos no cultivar Pintado.With increasing world population, it is necessary to search for technologies to increase food production. The cultivation of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) stands out among the economic activities that present significant growth worldwide in recent decades, and despite the increasing territorial expansion and agricultural production, productivity is influenced by external and internal factors during cultivation , the main one being, the incidence of diseases. Currently, the disease more worrying soybean is rust caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi Sydow & Sydow. To control this devastating disease, we recommend the application of triazole and strobilurin fungicides, which, according to some literature data, act so protective and curative, and have effects on productivity. The objective of this study was to clarify the physiological effect of the triazole cyproconazole and strobilurin azoxystrobin in soybean without rust incidence. The study was conducted in a greenhouse at the Department of Biological Sciences ESALQ / USP, Piracicaba, SP, Brazil in the period between December 2008 and May 2009 with soybean cultivar Pintado. The soil and water conditions were maintained as recommended for the crop. The treatments consisted of fungicides cyproconazole (triazole), azoxystrobin (strobilurin) and mineral oil (Nimbus) under applications at the stages R1, R4 (two applications) and R1, R4, R5, 4 (three applications). We analyzed aspects of production (number, fresh, dry and average pod dry grain and 100-grain weight) and anatomical aspects (leaf thickness, width and thickness of the midrib, thickness of xylem and phloem), and in these analyzis, we used only the treatments that were performed three applications of fungicide. The experimental design was a randomized block design with 9 treatments and 5 blocks. The results showed a reduction in the number of pods per plant, fresh and dry weight of pods, number of grains and dry grain treated with the mixture of triazole and strobilurin. Under the anatomical aspect, there was an increase in leaf thickness, width and thickness of the midrib and the thickness of the vascular system (xylem and phloem). By the data obtained in the study, it was concluded that, under the conditions in which it was performed, the application of triazole and strobilurin in soybean plants restricts the potential for grain production in the cultivar Pintado.

A cultura do eucalipto é uma das mais importantes do Brasil, constituindo-se em fonte de energia renovável e madeira, além de importantes processos agroindustriais para produção de celulose, papel entre outros. O eucalipto é infectado por uma diversidade de patógenos, principalmente fungos, desde o viveiro até em plantios adultos. O modelo de produção predominante é o monocultivo, adensado e intensamente adubado (adubação de base e duas a três coberturas). Em espécies/clones de eucalipto suscetíveis à Puccinia psidii, a ocorrência de epidemias é observada em condições climáticas favoráveis. Dessa forma, espera-se que o plantio consorciado com uma ou mais espécies não hospedeiras, a intensidade desta doença deva ser menor, devido a barreira física criada e dificulte a disseminação das estruturas reprodutivas do referido patógeno, diluindo o inóculo. Da mesma forma, o aumento do espaçamento também pode dificultar o estabelecimento do patógeno e, um plantio consorciado com uma espécie arbórea leguminosa que permita a fixação biológica de nitrogênio pode levar a redução da aplicação de adubos na forma química devido a ciclagem de nutrientes no sistema. Diante do exposto, os objetivos deste estudo foram: comparar o monocultivo de um clone oriundo da hibridação entre Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla e o cultivo do mesmo consorciado com a leguminosa Acacia mangium, com e sem adubação, em dois espaçamentos, quanto a intensidade da ferrugem e, crescimento das plantas (altura, diâmetro a altura do peito, volume e biomassa). Dentre os fatores testados, o uso da adubação no plantio foi o de maior relevância, afetando a intensidade da doença, bem como as variáveis de crescimento avaliadas. Até os dois anos de idade as plantas de acácia ocupam o estrato inferior quando consorciadas com o eucalipto, com isso não estabeleceram uma barreira física eficiente para o patógeno. O mesmo efeito não foi observado com o aumento do espaçamento. Apesar da maior intensidade da doença nos arranjos adubados, as plantas tiveram maior incremento em altura, volume e biomassa. Quanto ao consórcio, a acácia não foi eficaz como barreira física ao agente causal da ferrugem.
The eucalypt cultivation is one of the most important in Brazil, constituting in source of renewable energy and wood, as well as important agro-industrial processes for the cellulose production, paper and others. The eucalypt is infected by a variety of pathogens, mainly fungus, from the plant nursery to adult cultivation. The predominant production model is the monoculture, densely one and intensively fertilized (basic fertilization and two to three coverages).In eucalypt species/clones susceptible to Puccinia psidii, the occurrence of epidemics is observed in favorable climate conditions. Thus, it is expected that the combined cultivation with one or more non-host species, the intensity of this disease should be lower, due to the physical barrier created not to facilitate the dissemination of the reproductive structures of this pathogen, diluting the inoculum. Similarly, the increased spacing cannot also facilitate the pathogen establishment and a combined cultivation with a leguminous arboreal species allowing the biological fixation of nitrogen can lead to the reduction of the fertilizer application in chemical form due to the cycling of nutrients in the system. Based on the above, the objectives of this study were: to compare the monoculture of a clone from the hybridization between Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla and the same combined cultivation with the leguminous Acacia mangium, with and without fertilization in two spacing, about the rust intensity and the plant growth ( height, diameter at breast height, volume and biomass). Among the factors tested, the use fertilization at the cultivation was the most relevant, affecting the disease intensity, as well as the variables of the evaluated growth. Up to the age of two, acacia plants are on the lower layer when combined with eucalypt, thus failing to establish an efficient physical barrier for the pathogen. The same effect was not observed with increasing spacing. Despite the greater intensity of the disease in the fertilized arrangements, the plants had a greater increase in height, volume and biomass. About the combined cultivation, acacia was not effective as a physical barrier to the causative agent of rust.

Full textAbstract:
Proportional loss models commonly used in disease surveys are based on the assumption that per cent yield loss is the same in all crops, regardless of their yield potential. Estimates of regional crop loss may be inaccurate if the relationship between disease and yield loss is affected by crop yield potential. The importance of crop yield potential in disease: yield loss modelling was investigated and models for more accurate regional crop loss estimates were developed, taking crop yield potential into account. Two spring sown barley (cv. Triumph) experiments were conducted in 1987/88 and 1988/89 in Canterbury, New Zealand, to study the effect of crop yield potential on the relationship between disease and yield loss. Crop yield potentials of 323 to 806gDM/m² were generated in seven crops by varying nitrogen and water inputs, sowing date (mid-spring and early-summer) and season. Leaf rust (Puccinia hordei Otth) epidemics of different severity were generated by applying fungicides at different times, frequencies and rates to control the natural epidemics. Disease was measured as per cent disease severity (%DS), green leaf area, radiation interception and near-infrared radiation (NIR) reflectance from crop canopies. Yield was measured as total and grain dry weight. Epidemics were severe in the fully diseased plots from GS 34 and 46 to maturity in the late and early sown crops respectively. Disease reduced grain yield by 50 to 63% in 1987/88 and 24 to 38% in 1988/89 in the fully diseased plots. Disease: yield loss models were derived by regression analysis for each crop in 1987/88. Single point, multiple point and area under curve models were derived from %DS and GLAI variables, and proportional (%) and actual (gDM/m²) grain yield. The effect of yield potential was determined by comparing regression equation coefficients for each crop with crop yield potential. An area under green leaf area index curve (AUGLAIC): actual yield model was best suited to determining the effect of yield potential on yield loss. This model was selected because AUGLAIC summarised the effect of disease on plant growth over the season and actual yield represented the crop yield potential in the absence of disease and the response of actual yield to disease. Crop yield potential did not affect actual yield loss caused by leaf rust. Disease measured as AUGLAIC explained most of the variation in yield (R²adj=0.93) for all crops in both years. Assessment of GLAI is not suitable for estimation of regional crop loss because of the requirement for a rapid and low cost method. Reflectance of NIR from the crop canopy was investigated as an alternative to GLAI measurements. Reflectance was correlated significantly (P<0.001) with GLAI (r=0.66 to 0.89) and green area index (r=0.76 to 0.92). Reflectance measured at grain-filling (GS 85-87) explained most (R²adj=0.94) of the variation in yield for all crops in both years. The relationship between AUGLAIC and yield was validated with data from independent diseased and healthy barley crops. The AUGLAIC: yield model described the effects of disease on yield accurately but overestimated yield by 49 to 108% in the healthy crops. Models based on accumulated PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) intercepted by green leaves explained the observed deviations in yield of these crops from the AUGLAIC: yield model. Accumulated PAR models accounted for differences in incident radiation, canopy structure, radiation interception by green leaves, radiation use efficiency and harvest index which are important in determining dry matter production and grain yield. Accumulated PAR models described the effects of disease on crop growth which were not represented by GLAI alone. Variation in crop yield potential at the regional scale is important in disease: yield loss modelling and can be accounted for by using either separate equations for each yield potential crop or crop category, robust models, inclusion of a form function for yield potential or choice of disease and yield variables which integrate yield potential.

O fungo Phakopsora pachyrhizi Syd. & Syd, representa grande ameaça à sojicultura nas principais regiões produtoras do mundo, onde perdas significativas foram relatadas. Na quantificação de danos causados por esta doença muitas são as variáveis a serem estudadas como Área abaixo da curva de progresso da doença (AACPD), Absorção da área foliar sadia (HAA) e Duração da área foliar sadia (HAD), além das curvas de progresso da doença. Visando seu controle químico torna-se necessário a aplicação de defensivos agrícolas, os quais podem afetar o crescimento e metabolismo das plantas, resultando em consequências negativas ou positivas. Existem relatos de que a aplicação de fungicidas do grupo das estrobilurinas na cultura da soja tem promovido aumento de produtividade mesmo em locais sem incidência de doenças, indicando que alterações de ordem fisiológica devem ser quantificadas. Este estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de verificar a influência dos diferentes fungicidas no progresso da doença, bem como suas implicações nas variáveis referentes à área foliar sadia, no crescimento e na produtividade de duas cultivares semeadas em época tardia. Os tratamentos testados nas duas cultivares foram: 1. Testemunha; 2. Testemunha com herbicidas (V4); 3. Herbicida + pyraclostrobin (V4); 4.

A análise dos resultados permitiu afirmar que a associação da estrobilurina (pyraclostrobin) com bentazon e chlorimuron-ethyl, em V4, possibilitou a antecipação da recuperação dos efeitos provocados pelos herbicidas citados. A mistura de estrobilurinas associado à triazol (pyraclostrobin + epoxiconazole) promoveu maior controle e período residual sobre o fungo Phakopsora pachyrhizi, em relação ao fungicida do grupo dos triazóis (epoxiconazole). O modelo logístico foi o que mais se adequou à severidade média das avaliações e à curva de progresso da doença. Para o terço inferior, posição da copa mais propicia ao desenvolvimento da doença, o modelo logístico com taxa variável foi o que mais se ajustou aos dados obtidos. As variáveis AACPD, HAA e HAD podem ser consideradas apropriadas para se quantificar os danos provocados por esta doença. Na análise de crescimento, foi observado que a referida mistura aplicada em R2 e R5.1, promoveu maior índice de área foliar e acúmulo de massa seca de parte aérea, resultando em maiores valores de taxa de crescimento absoluto (TCA), taxa de crescimento relativo (TCR), taxa assimilatória líquida (TAL) e taxa de crescimento da cultura (TCC) em estádios reprodutivo, diferenciando, inclusive, dos tratamentos com aplicação isolada de triazóis (epoxiconazole). Ainda, a utilização dos fungicidas estudados, a partir de R2, melhorou a qualidade fisiológica de sementes. Assim, de acordo com estes resultados a utilização da mistura pyraclostrobin + epoxiconazole resultou no aumento significativo dos valores dos componentes de produção, possibilitando a obtenção de ganhos de produtividade.Phakopsora pachyrhizi Syd. & Syd. is the worst threat for soybean crop in the main producers regions around the world, where significant loses has been observed. Many variables in the quantification of damage of this disease have to be studied, such as area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC), healthy leaf area absorption (HAA), healthy leaf area duration (HAD), in addition to disease progress curves. Aiming the chemical control of this disease, it becomes necessary fungicide applications, which may change the metabolism and the growth of the plant, resulting in negative or positive alterations. There are reports showing that fungicide applications of the strobilurin group on soybean crop have promoted yield enhancement, even in situations without the incidence of diseases, indicating that physiologic changes should be quantified. This study aimed at evaluating the influence of different fungicides on the progress of the disease and its implications on variables related to healthy leaf area, the growth and productivity of two cultivars sowed in late season. The treatments were evaluated in two cultivars: 1. Control; 2. Control with herbicides (V4); 3. Herbicide + pyraclostrobin (V4); 4. Herbicide + pyraclostrobin (V4) and pyraclostrobin + epoxiconazole (R2); 5. Herbicide + pyraclostrobin (V4) and pyraclostrobin + epoxiconazole (R2 and R5.1); 6. Herbicide + pyraclostrobin (V4), pyraclostrobin + epoxiconazole (R2) and epoxiconazole (R5.1) 7. Herbicide + pyraclostrobin (V4) and epoxiconazole (R2 and R5.1) 8. Herbicide (V4) and pyraclostrobin + epoxiconazole (R2 and R5.1). The analysis of the results obtained has made it possible to conclude that the association of pyraclostrobin with bentazon e chlorimuron-ethyl, in V4, allowed an early recovery from the effects caused by the above-mentioned herbicides. The spraying of strobilurins group associated with triazole (pyraclostrobin + epoxiconazole) promoted greater control and longer residual period of Phakopsora pachyrhizi, in relation to the group of ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitors fungicide (epoxiconazole). The logistic model was the one which best adapted to the mean severity ratings and the disease progress curve. At the bottom of the canopy, the most favorable position to the development of the disease, the logistic model with variable rate was the model that most fitted the obtained data. The variables AUDPC, HAA and HAD can be considered suitable to quantify the damage caused by this disease. On the growth analysis, it was observed that the mixture cited above, applied on R2 and R5.1, promoted higher leaf area index and shoots dry mass accumulation, resulting in increase of absolute growth rate (AGR), relative growth rate (RGR), net assimilation rate (NAR) and crop growth rate (CGR) in reproductive stages, differing even from the treatment with single triazole applications. The use of these studied fungicides, starting from stage R2, provided better physiological quality of seeds. Thus, according to these results, the application of strobilurin group associated with triazoles (pyraclostrobin + epoxiconazole) fungicide resulted in significant increase in values of the productivity compounds, resulting in yield gains.

O Brasil, maior expoente do setor sucroalcooleiro mundial, apresenta como um dos entraves para obter elevadas produtividades a ocorrência de doenças fúngicas, as quais limitam o potencial produtivo do canavial. Atualmente, um dos grandes desafios para a comunidade canavieira é a recém-introduzida ferrugem alaranjada, doença causada pelo fungo Puccinia kuehnii, a qual foi detectada pela primeira vez no Brasil na safra 2009/10, ano em que as chuvas excederam os valores normais e as temperaturas foram amenas. Dada a grande dependência que as doenças fúngicas têm das condições climáticas para se manifestarem, o presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar as condições meteorológicas que foram observadas durante as epidemias de ferrugem alaranjada ocorridas na província de Queensland, Austrália, em 1999/2000, e no estado de São Paulo, em 2009/2010, e a partir dessas elaborar modelos que possibilitassem estimar a severidade da doença, de modo a se estabelecer o zoneamento da favorabilidade climática para sua ocorrência. Com base nessas informações foram elaborados mapas de favorabilidade climática para a ocorrência da ferrugem no estado de São Paulo e na província de Queensland. As variáveis climáticas favoráveis à ocorrência da ferrugem alaranjada foram o número de decêndios com excedente hídrico (NDEXC) e o número de decêndios com temperatura média ideal para a infecção (NDTideal). Essas variáveis foram utilizadas no desenvolvimento de modelos lineares para determinação da severidade da doença, com base nos dados observados em diferentes regiões do estado de São Paulo. A elaboração do Índice de Favorabilidade Climática à Ferrugem Alaranjada da Cana-de-açúcar (IFAC) se baseou numa ponderação das severidades estimadas para séries de 15 a 30 anos. Posteriormente, o IFAC foi correlacionado com as coordenadas geográficas e a altitude o que permitiu se estimar o IFAC para todo o Estado de São Paulo. Esse modelo também foi aplicado para a Província de Queensland, Austrália. O IFAC foi empregado na confecção de mapas nos quais se estabeleceram os zoneamentos das regiões de favorabilidade climática à doença. Observou-se que as regiões canavieiras no oeste paulista apresentam risco muito baixo a moderado, enquanto que nas regiões no centro-leste do Estado, o risco é moderado-alto a alto seguindo uma tendência longitudinal. Para Queensland, a região mais favorável à doença é na faixa leste da província, exatamente nas regiões onde se concentra a produção de cana-de-açúcar.Brazil, the largest exponent of the sugarcane sector in the world, presents as one of the obstacles for obtaining high yields the occurrence of diseases, which limits the potential productivity of the crop. Presently, one the greatest challenge for sugarcane production is newly introduced sugarcane disease, named orange rust, caused by Puccinia kuehni, which was detected by the first time in Brazil during 2009-2010 growing season, when the rainfall exceed the normal values and temperatures remained mild. Considering the great influence of climate conditions on plant diseases occurrence, the present study aimed to evaluate the weather conditions that prevailed during the sugarcane orange rust epidemic in province of Queensland, Australia, in 1999-2000 growing season, and in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, in 2009-2010 growing season, and base on that to develop a disease severity model in order to establish the climate favorability zoning for its occurrence. Based on these data, maps of orange rust climatic favorability were elaborated for the state of São Paulo and province of Queensland. The climatic variables favorable for conditioning orange rust were the number of ten-day periods with soil water surplus (NDEXC) and the number of ten-day periods with average temperature within the ideal range for the disease (NDTideal). With these variables, linear models were developed to determine the severity of the disease, based on disease and weather data observed in different regions of the state of São Paulo. The Climatic Favorability Index for Sugarcane Orange Rust Occurrence (IFAC) was based on the weighting of the disease severities estimated for weather series of 15 to 30 years. After that, IFAC was correlated with the geographical coordinates and altitude which allowed estimating it for all the state of São Paulo. This procedure was also applied for the province of Queensland, Australia. The IFAC was used to generate maps for zoning the regions of climatic favorability for the disease. The maps allowed to observe that for the state of São Paulo, the west region presents vary low to moderate risk for the disease, while the center-east region presents moderate-high to high risk. For the province of Queensland, the most favorable region for orange rust occurrence is the east, exactly where the sugarcane production is concentrated.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The wild relatives are an important source of new genes for the genetic improvement of wheat. At Stellenbosch University the leaf and stripe rust resistance genes Lr54 and Yr37 were transferred from Aegilops kotschyi to chromosome 2DL of wheat. In an attempt to reduce the size of the whole-arm translocation on which the resistance genes occur, homoeologous pairing was induced between the wheat and corresponding Ae. kotschyi chromatin. The purpose of this study was to: (i) Evaluate the testcross progeny thus obtained; identify translocation recombinants that retained Lr54/Yr37 and to characterize these using molecular markers (ii) Test for the presence of genes for photoperiod insensitivity (Ppd) and reduced height (Rht) believed to be associated with the translocation (iii) Develop a SCAR marker for the most useful recombinant that could be recovered. Ten putative translocation recombinants were identified following the screening of 159 hemizygous testcross F1 plants with three microsatellite markers specific for chromosome arm 2DL. The recombinants were then characterized with another five microsatellite markers. Using the eight microsatellite markers the recombinants were ordered in two size categories with recombinant #74 being the shortest and having retained only proximal alien chromatin on 2DL. In addition to microsatellite markers, RAPDs, RGAs, AFLPs and SCAR markers were genetically mapped to the translocation and further resolved the recombinants into three size categories. In an attempt to find suitable markers linked to the shortest recombinant (#74) a polymorphic 410 bp AFLP fragment produced with the enzyme/selective nucleotide combination EcoRI – AAC/MseI – CAT, was converted into a dominant SCAR marker. In addition three microsatellite markers that mapped to recombinant #74 provided a useful recessive molecular marker system to detect Lr54/Yr37. Evaluation of the 10 recombinants with four 2DS-specific microsatellite markers revealed a large deletion of this chromosome arm in recombinant #74. This deletion may affect plant phenotypic characteristics and a strategy to replace the deleted region in recombinant #74 is proposed. To test for the presence of a gene for photoperiod insensitivity on the translocation, translocation-carriers plus controls were subjected to long and short day treatments, and the effect on time to flowering was studied. However, no evidence was found for the presence of such a gene. A height experiment to test for the presence of an Rht gene on the translocation confirmed its presence. This gene (designated H) appeared to be different from Rht8 on chromosome 2DS and was mapped on 2DL. While H does not occur in a chromosome region that corresponds with the location of Rht8, it does not rule out the possibility that they could be orthologous loci. Plant height data obtained for recombinant #74 suggested that H was lost through recombination in this particular recombinant. A greenhouse experiment suggested that the full-length translocation increased 100 kernel mass but had a detrimental effect on overall plant yield. Since a much shorter recombinant (#74) has been obtained, this will also have to be evaluated for associated effects. Such an evaluation needs to be done under commercial growing conditions and should involve the comparison of near-isogenic bulks with and without recombinant chromosome #74. The stripe rust resistance gene (Yr37) was mapped by screening hemizygous TF2 progeny of the 10 recombinants with Puccinia striiformis pathotype 6E22A+. Recombinant #74 retained both Lr54 and Yr37 and the two genes therefore occur towards the centromere.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Wilde verwante spesies is ‘n belangrike bron van nuwe gene vir die genetiese verbetering van koring. By die Universiteit van Stellenbosch is die blaar-roes en streep-roes weerstandsgene Lr54 en Yr37 vanaf Aegilops kotschyi na chromosoom 2DL van koring oorgedra. ‘n Poging is vervolgens aangewend om die vol-armtranslokasie waarop die weerstandsgene voorkom te verklein deur homoeoloë paring tussen die koring en ooreenstemmende Ae. kotschyi chromatien te induseer. Die doelstelling van hierdie studie was daarom as volg: (a) Evaluering van die verkreë toetskruis-nageslag asook die identifisering en karakterisering van translokasie rekombinante wat Lr54/Yr37 behou het. (b) Toetsing vir fotoperiode onsensitiwiteits- (Ppd) en verkorte plant-hoogte (Rht) gene wat moontlik op die translokasie kon voorkom. (c) Die ontwikkeling van ‘n volgorde-spesifieke polimerase kettingreaksie (PKR) vir die mees bruikbare rekombinant. Tien translokasie rekombinante is geïdentifiseer nadat 159 hemisigotiese toetskruis F1-plante met drie mikrosatelliet-merkers, spesifiek vir chromosoom-arm 2DL, ge-evalueer is. Die rekombinante is hierna met vyf verdere mikrosatellietmerkers getoets. Die data van die agt mikrosatelliet-loci het die rekombinante in twee grootte-kategorieë geplaas waarvan rekombinant #74 die kortste was met slegs die proksimale gedeelte van 2DL wat uit vreemde chromatien bestaan. Behalwe mikrosatellite-merkers is toevallig-geamplifiseerde polimorfiese DNS (RAPD), weerstandsgeen-analoog (RGA), geamplifiseerde volgordelengte polimorfisme (AFLP) en volgorde-gekarakteriseerde geamplifiseerde-streke (SCAR) merkers ook geneties op die translokasie gekarteer. Data van die addisionele merkers het dit moontlik gemaak om die rekombinante in drie grootte-kategorieë te skei. Pogings om ‘n merker vir die kortse rekombinant (#74) te vind, het gelei tot die omskakeling van ‘n 410 bp polimorfiese AFLP-fragment (geproduseer met die ensiem/selektiewenukleotied kombinasie EcoRI - AAC/MseI - CAT), na ‘n dominante, volgordespesifieke PKR-merker. Hierbenewens kan drie mikrosatelliet-merkers wat op rekombinant #74 karteer as resessiewe merkers vir die identifisering van Lr54/Yr37 gebruik word. Die evaluering van die 10 rekombinante met vier chromosoom 2DSspesifieke mikrosatelliet-merkers het ‘n groot delesie van chromosoom-arm 2DS in rekombinant #74 uitgewys. Die delesie mag plant fenotipiese kenmerke beïnvloed en daarom is ‘n strategie vir die vervanging daarvan in rekombinant #74 voorgestel. Ten einde te toets of ‘n geen vir fotoperiode-onsensitiwiteit op die translokaie voorkom is translokasie-draers en kontroles aan lang- en kortdag-behandelings onderwerp en is die effek hiervan op dae-tot-blom gemeet. Geen bewyse vir so ‘n geen kon gevind word nie. ‘n Hoogte-eksperiment om te toets vir die teenwoordigheid van ‘n Rht-geen op die translokasie, het bevestig dat so ‘n geen wel voorkom. Die geen (voorgestelde simbool H) is gekarteer op 2DL en verskil oënskynlik van Rht8 op chromosoom 2DS. Die verskillende chromosoom-ligging van H en Rht8 skakel egter nie die moontlikheid dat hulle ortoloë loci mag wees uit nie. Plant-hoogte data vir rekombinant #74 het daarop gedui dat H nie meer in hierdie rekombinant voorkom nie. Data van ‘n glashuis-eksperiment het daarop gedui dat die vollengte-translokasie 100-korrel-massa verhoog maar dat dit plant-opbrengs verlaag. Aangesien ‘n aansienlike korter rekombinant (#74) verkry is, sal dit ook vir gekoppelde effekte getoets moet word. So ‘n evaluering moet egter onder kommersiële toestande gedoen word met gebruik van naby isogeniese-lyne met en sonder rekombinante chromosoom #74. Die streep-roes weerstandgeen (Yr37) is gekarteer deur hemisigotiese TF2- nageslag van die 10 rekombinante te toets vir weerstand teen Puccinia striiformis patotipe 6E22A+. Rekombinant #74 het beide Lr54 en Yr37 behou en die twee gene karteer dus naby die sentromeer.

In order to have ASR efficiently controlled with reduced costs, studying and developing new techniques and equipments is of paramount importance to get the product better distributed and placed on the chosen targets. So, the objectives of this investigation were to determine the recovery of metallic ions used as markers in deposit studies, to evaluate the deposits and the covering of soybean plants by the fungicide mixture, and to evaluate the degree to which ASR was controlled. Different volumes of the fungicide mixture were applied by either centrifugally or hydraulically moved spray nozzles. Four experiments were carried out in the Experimental Farm of the Paulista State University (UNESP) on its campus of Jaboticabal, state of São Paulo, Brazil. In the first, the soybean plants were grown in vases and the objective was to determine the recovery of metallic ions used as markers in studies of the fungicide mixture deposits and also to verify the variations in surface tension in the solution resulting from the adding of those ions to the fungicide mixture. The treatments consisted of fungicides mixtures having one of the following markers: manganese sulfate, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, copper hydroxide, and copper oxychloride. The markers were applied onto the adaxial surface of soybean leaflets and on glass laminae and then quantified by means of atomic absorption spectrophotometry. After that, the recovered and the predetermined concentrations were compared. Copper oxychloride, manganese or copper or zinc sulfate were found to be adequate as the fungicide mixture markers in deposit studies since they do not modify surface tension and because they are highly recoverable. Copper hydroxide is not recommended because it alters the fungicide mixture surface tension. The second and the third experiments were carried out during the cropping seasons of 2009/10 and 2010/11 in which the ...

Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf é uma gramínea perene, de grande importância para a indústria farmacêutica e alimentícia, fornecedora de óleo essencial. Um problema limitante para a produção comercial é a ferrugem, causada pelo patógeno Puccinia nakanishikii Dietel. O trabalho objetivou estudar a interação patógeno-hospedeiro e availar princípios ativos naturais no controle da doença. Para os estudos anatômicos foram elaborados cortes, objetivando analisar as estruturas lesionadas e o desenvolvimento do patógeno. Foram avaliadas as trocas gasosas nas diferentes severidades da doença. Realizaram-se testes in vitro, com diferentes agentes de controle sobre a germinação de esporos do patógeno, sendo estes: óleos essenciais de eucalipto, palma-rosa, cravo-da-índia, menta, limão, citronela e mil-folhas; extrato pirolenhoso de eucalipto e mentol cristalizado. A partir destes testes foram escolhidos quatro agentes para os testes em campo, óleo de citronela e de eucalipto, extrato pirolenhoso e mentol. A área foi preparada a partir de mudas, sendo manejadas até os seis meses. Quando todas as plantas apresentavam sintomas, iniciaram-se os tratamentos com aplicações semanais. Foi avaliada ainda a doença após um corte. Os sintomas iniciais manifestam-se como manchas amareladas evoluindo para a formação de pústulas bronzeadas alongadas. Quanto à avaliação anatômica, após a infecção houve o desenvolvimento das estruturas fúngicas, prosseguindo com o rompimento da cutícula, possibilitando a observação das estruturas do patógeno de forma clara sobre as células da epiderme. Nas regiões lignificadas dos feixes vasculares não há desenvolvimento dessas estruturas. Com o aumento da severidade da doença observou-se a redução da assimilação de gás carbônico.

Cymbopogon citratus (DC) Stapf is a perennial grass, that has a large importance to the pharmaceutical and food industry, supplier of essential oil. One limiting problem to the commercial production is the rust caused by pathogen Puccinia nakanishikii Dietel. This work aimed to investigate the pathogen-host interactions and contribute to the researches with alternative methods of disease control. For anatomical studies were prepared anatomical sections, with the objective to analyze the structures injured and the development of the pathogen with different corants. On cultivated plants were evaluated gas exchange in different severity levels. In vitro tests were performed with different control agents, to the germination of pathogen spores, which are: essential oil of eucalyptus, palmarosa, clove, peppermint, lemon, citronella and yarrow; pyroligneous extract of eucalyptus and crystallized menthol. From these tests four products were chosen for the tests in a camp experiment, citronella oil, eucalyptus oil, pyroligneous extract and menthol. The area was prepared from seedlings, which were managed by six months age. When all plants had symptoms the treatments begin, with weekly applications. One avaliation happened after the cut of the lemongrass. The initial symptoms manifest as yellow spots progressing to formation of elongated pustules. These symptoms beginning with the development of fungal structures, after occurred the disruption of the cuticle, so the structures of the pathogen may be clearly observed on epidermis parenchyma cells of the leaf abaxial surface, however, in regions of vascular bundles, no development of such structures, these regions that have lignified structures. With the increase of the disease severity was a significant reduction in the assimilation of carbonic gas. The internal concentration of carbon dioxide was major...
