Disease Rating

Common root rot in Triticum aestivum cultivar Manitou caused primarily by Cochliobolus sativus was followed during plant development in 1969, 1970, and 1971 at Matador, Saskatchewan. Plants were sampled at intervals, and three variables based mainly on the occurrence of lesions on subcrown internodes were studied: number of diseased plants per square meter; percentage of diseased plants; and disease rating which integrated percentage of diseased plants and disease severity on each plant. All variables increased with time, and the progression curves in all 3 years were hyperbolic, indicating that the increases were like those of a simple interest disease as described by Van der Plank. In two of the years, almost 100% of the plants were diseased considerably before the end of the season. The transformation proposed by Van der Plank for simple interest diseases, log10[1/(1 − x)], was applied to the percentages of diseased plants, and regressions were calculated. The slopes of these lines (infection rates) were as follows: 1969, 0.99% plants per day; 1970, 1.32%; and 1971, 1.96%. In 1969 the onset of disease was later than in 1970 and 1971, and there was correspondingly less disease at the end of the growing season.

Common Root Rot

The effects of common root rot (Cochliobolus sativus) on components of grain yield in naturally infected Triticum aestivum cultivar Manitou were studied at Matador, Saskatchewan, by sampling plants at maturity in 1969, 1970, and 1971. Plants were sorted into severe (SE), moderate (MO), slight (SL), and clean (CL) categories based mainly on the extent of lesions on the subcrown internodes. The number of tillers per plant, the number and weight of grains per head, the weight per head, and the 1000-kernel weight in each category were determined. Increasing values of all five components were consistently associated with decreasing disease severity. SE was mostly significantly different from the other three categories in all components except 1000-kernel weight; differences between SL and MO were usually non-significant. CL and SL were mostly significantly different for the number of tillers per plant and weight per head but non-significant for the weight and number of grains per head and 1000-kernel weight. Apparently, the major effect of common root rot was to reduce the number of tillers per plant and number of grains per head.

High Level

One cultivar of einkhorn, one cultivar of emmer, three cultivars of durum and 43 cultivars of bread wheat were screened for resistance to common root rot (Cochliobolus sativus). The emmer cultivar, Yaroslav and the white-grained bread wheat cultivars, Festival and Mexico 120, showed a high level of resistance. This is the first record of resistance in white-grained cultivars and the advantage of using whitegrained rather than red-grained cultivars as sources of resistance in Australia is indicated. It is considered that the major source of resistance in Festival, Gamut and Spica has been derived from Pusa cultivars.

Kernel Color

Common root rot, caused by Cochliobolus sativus (Ito and Kurib) Drechs. ex Dastur, is a major soil-borne disease of spring and winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell.) on the Canadian prairies. Resistance to common root rot from Thinopyrum ponticum (Podp.) Liu and Wang was transferred into wheat via crossing with Agrotana, a resistant wheat – Th. ponticum partial amphiploid line. Evaluation of common root rot reactions showed that selected advanced lines with blue kernel color derived from a wheat × Agrotana cross expressed more resistance than the susceptible T. aestivum 'Chinese Spring' parent and other susceptible wheat check cultivars. Cytological examination revealed 41 to 44 chromosomes in the advanced lines. Genomic in situ hybridization, using total genomic DNA from Pseudoroegneria strigosa (M. Bieb) A. Löve (St genome) as a probe, demonstrated that the blue kernel plants had two pairs of spontaneously translocated J–Js and Js–J chromosomes derived from the J and Js genome of Th. ponticum. The presence of these translocated chromosomes was associated with increased resistance of wheat to common root rot. The lines with blue aleurone color always had a subcentromeric Js–J translocated chromosome. The subtelocentric J–Js translocated chromosome was not responsible for the blue kernel color. The genomic in situ hybridization analysis on meiosis revealed that the two spontaneous translocations were not reciprocal translocations.Key words: Cochliobolus sativus, genomic in situ hybridization, blue kernel color.

Differential Action

The effects of eight fungicide formulations on the microflora of 10 lots of naturally infested barley seed were investigated after 7 days’ incubation. Reactions of individual fungi to treatment with a given fungicide were generally independent of seed lot. Hoe 2874, Panogen Px, SWF 790 and Polyram 80 were nonselective in action, whereas specific effects were associated with Vitavax, G 696 and Hexa. The decreasing order of effectiveness of fungicides against Cochliobolus sativus and Alternaria spp. established internally in the seed was Hoe 2874, Panogen Px, SWF 790, Polyram 80, Vitavax, G 696 and Hexa. Because Hoe 2874 did not control Streptomyces spp., which are known to be antagonistic to C. sativus, it may be of merit for control of common root rot of cereals.
