Yellowing of melon (Cucumis melo L.) incited by lettuce infectious yellows virus (LIYV) reduces yield and fruit quality of infected plants. LIYV is transmitted only by the sweetpotato whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Genn.). Two naturally infected field tests indicated several potential sources of resistance to LIYV. PI 124112 and `Snake Melon' had mild symptoms in both field tests whereas PI 313970 was asymptomatic in the test in which it was included. In greenhouse tests using controlled inoculation, PI 313970 was asymptomatic, had negative ELISA assays for LIYV, and was negative for LIYV in serial transfers to Chenopodium. `Top Mark' and `PMR 5' were symptomatic, had positive ELISA assays for LIYV, and were positive for LIYV in serial transfers to Chenopodium in these greenhouse tests. Limited data indicate that resistance in PI 313970 is conditioned by a single, dominant gene.

Resistance Breaking

Resistance to Meloidogyne chitwoodi was introgressed from Solanum bulbocastanum into the cultivated gene pool of potato. A single dominant gene is responsible for resistance to race 1 reproduction on the root system. An additional form of resistance was discovered in certain advanced backcross clones. A BC5 clone, PA99N82-4, resisted invasion of tubers by available nematode juveniles whether supplied by weeds or challenged by several root resistance-breaking pathotypes. This tuber resistance is inherited as a single dominant gene and is linked to RMc1(blb). Because this gene has been mapped to chromosome 11, tuber resistance genetic factors are inferred to be on the same chromosome in coupling phase. Among 153 progeny derived from crosses with PA99N82-4, 42 recombinants, comprising both resistant root/susceptible tuber and susceptible root/resistant tubers, were found while other progeny were doubly resistant (like PA99N82-4) or doubly susceptible. Therefore, the existence of two linked genetic factors controlling independently expressed traits is confirmed. The combination of the two phenotypes is likely to be a sufficient level of resistance to avoid tuber damage from circumstances that provide exogenous juveniles proximal to the tubers in the soil. These factors are weed hosts of M. chitwoodi host races and pathotypes of M. chitwoodi that overcome RMc1(blb). Under field conditions, where a resistance-breaking pathotype of M. chitwoodi was present, tuber-resistant PA99N82-4 breeding line produced tubers which were commercially acceptable and not culled. A related breeding line, root resistant but tuber susceptible, and Russet Burbank were severely tuber damaged and commercially unacceptable.

The inheritance of resistance to oat crown rust was studied in three accessions of Avena sterilis L. Accession CAV 4274 originated from Morocco, CAV 4540 from Algeria, and CAV 3695 from Tunisia. Seedling rust tests on F2 backcross families indicated the presence of two dominant genes for crown rust resistance in CAV 4274. One of these, a gene conditioning resistance to most races tested, was linked or allelic to gene Pc-38, and was designated gene Pc-62. The second gene conferred resistance only to one of the six races studied, and was not tested further. In CAV 4540, a single dominant gene, Pc-63 was possibly allelic with Pc-62 and linked or allelic to Pc-38. Genes Pc-62 and 63 are generally similar to Pc-38 in their resistance spectrum, but these three genes are differentiated by races CR 102, CR 103, and CR 107. A single dominant gene in CAV 3695 appeared to be Pc-50.

Four barley varieties, each immune to a Valki-attacking culture of loose smut (designated as race 2), were studied with respect to the inheritance of their resistance. Jet (C.I. 967) and Nigrinudum (C.I. 2222) were each found to possess two independent dominant genes determining resistance. Steudelli (C.I. 2266) proved to be immune to race 2 through the action of a single dominant gene, while resistance of Hillsa (C.I. 1604) was found to be conditioned by two complementary dominant genes. The absence of susceptible F3 families in crosses between Jet, Nigrinudum, and Steudelli indicated that these three varieties have in common a gene or genes for resistance to the race of smut used. The two complementary genes for resistance in Hillsa proved to be distinct from those of the other three varieties under study.The use of genetic analyses of disease resistance based upon classification of F3 families of the backcross to the resistant source is described and the merits of such a method are discussed.

Resistant Genotypes

Cercospora leaf spot (CLS), caused by Cercospora traversoana, is an important phyto-pathological problem of self-pollinated fenugreek (Trigonella-foenum graecum). Developing resistant genotypes in crop plants has been considered the best option to control diseases for economic, environmental, and social reasons. However, before this can be accomplished, knowledge about the inheritance of disease-resistant genes is necessary for creating high-yielding resistant genotypes. One susceptible fenugreek cultivar, Tristar, and two resistant accessions L3717 and PI138687 were used in two-way crosses using hand emasculation and pollination technique in a greenhouse. F1 plants were grown in a greenhouse and allowed to grow till maturity to produce F2 seeds. Some flowers from F1 plants were crossed back to both resistant and susceptible parents separately to generate backcross (BC1) seeds. Parents, F1, F2, and BC1 populations were grown in the greenhouse using a RCBD with four replications. Plants were inoculated 30 d after sowing with a suspension of C. traversoana at 2 × 105 conidia mL−1. Symptoms were observed and rated on individual plants 25 d after inoculation, and plants were categorized according to susceptible or resistant reactions based on rating scores. Mean disease score was significantly different (p < 0.0001) among generations. In both the cross combinations, results showed CLS resistance in fenugreek (from L3717 and PI138687) was governed by a single dominant gene which is moderately heritable (46% narrow sense heritability). This indicates a relatively simple pathway for transfer of genes to adapted fenugreek cultivars.

Leaf Curl

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) and Tomato yellow leaf curl Málaga virus are monopartite begomoviruses (genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae) that infect common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), causing bean leaf crumple disease (BLCD). This disease was found to be widespread in southern Spain and causes stunted growth, flower abortion, and leaf and pod deformation in common bean plants. Commercial yield losses of up to 100% occur. In the present study, we have identified and characterized a resistance trait to BLCD-associated viruses in the common bean breeding line GG12. This resistance resulted in a complete absence of BLCD symptoms under field conditions or after experimental inoculation. Our analysis showed that virus replication was not inhibited. However, a severe restriction to systemic virus accumulation occurred in resistant plants, suggesting that cell-to-cell or long-distance movement were impaired. In addition, recovery from virus infection was observed in resistant plants. The reaction of P. vulgaris lines GG12 (resistant) and GG14 (susceptible), and of F1, F2, and backcross populations derived from them, to TYLCV inoculation suggested that a single dominant gene conferred the BLCD resistance described here.

SUMMARYThe progenies of six crosses, made in 1987, between the best available hooded barley line and six selected awned barley lines were used to study the effect of the hooded gene on the performance of barley under rainfed conditions in Cyprus. A single dominant gene was found to control the hooded character. Awned genotypes on average outyielded hooded genotypes by 17%, but the difference between the two genotypes was smaller in the central plain than in the coastal area. The effect of the hooded gene on yield varied also with the combination of parents, as the superiority of the awned genotypes varied with cross from 13 to 30%. Hooded lines giving a higher grain yield than their hooded parent were identified. On average the awned genotypes had higher 1000-grain weight (5·0 g), were slightly later in heading date (1·1 days), had slightly higher volume weight (1·3 kg/hl) than hooded genotypes, but had similar plant height. The 1000-grain weight of most hooded lines was significantly higher than that of their hooded parent.In spite of the negative effects of the hooded gene on grain yield, it was concluded that it is possible to increase the yield of hooded barley for hay production by continued crossing and selection (with special emphasis on 1000-grain weight), by selecting special combinations of parents through the Bulk-Pedigree method and by growing hooded barley in suitable areas, making use of the locationdependent performance of the hooded gene.

Trigrain wheat normally produces up to three gynoecia in a single floret and forms three close-set grains. The gene conferring the multi grain phenotype was earlier designated Mg, the multiple gynoecia gene. Different genetic patterns controlling this trait have been reported. In the present work we studied the inheritance of the three grains trait and identified simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers linked to the Mg gene. Segregation analysis in the cross IGDB-TW (trigrain wheat)/Chinese Spring confirmed that a single dominant gene controlled the three grains trait. An allelism test showed that the same gene controlled the trigrain trait in line Trigrain-Yin 1. A total of 339 microsatellite markers were tested for polymorphism by bulked segregation analysis (BSA) in an F2 population. Six microsatellite markers, Xcfd233, Xgdm6, Xgdm87, Xgwm311, Xgwm349 and Xgwm539, on chromosome 2DL, were linked to Mg. Using the CS 2D deletion lines, Mg gene was localized to the distal region of chromosome 2DL. The microsatellite markers identified in this study have the potential for further mapping and map-based cloning of the gene.Key words: Simple sequence repeats, physical mapping, trigrain wheat
