A major locus conferring resistance to the causal organism of powdery mildew, Erysiphe polygoni DC, in mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) was identified using QTL analysis with a population of 147 recombinant inbred individuals. The population was derived from a cross between 'Berken', a highly susceptible variety, and ATF 3640, a highly resistant line. To test for response to powdery mildew, F7 and F8 lines were inoculated by dispersing decaying mungbean leaves with residual conidia of E. polygoni amongst the young plants to create an artificial epidemic and assayed in a glasshouse facility. To generate a linkage map, 322 RFLP clones were tested against the two parents and 51 of these were selected to screen the mapping population. The 51 probes generated 52 mapped loci, which were used to construct a linkage map spanning 350 cM of the mungbean genome over 10 linkage groups. Using these markers, a single locus was identified that explained up to a maximum of 86% of the total variation in the resistance response to the pathogen.Key words: mungbean, powdery mildew, Erysiphe polygoni, QTL, molecular markers.

Incidences of powdery mildew were repeatedly evaluated for two years on 1 420 young seedlings of 20 progenies (of different levels of mildew susceptibility) in a green house, and then for 10 years on 642 seedlings in an orchard. Part of the seedlings in the orchard were pre-selected for the characteristic and others not. Except for the first scoring done in the first year, there was no correlation between mildew incidence on individual seedlings in the green house and their mean performance in the orchard. The seedlings with scores above 6 (resistant or tolerant) at the first stage of evaluation in the green house, however, yielded four times more desirable seedlings after final selection in the orchard than the mean of the total. The progenies that had a better healthy state as a whole yielded more partially resistant genotypes than those with low mean scores. Therefore, the progenies that most rapidly develop infestation on the whole lot should be discarded, whereas those that retain a healthy state longer should be subjected to individual selection according to the previous item.

Temporal development of Erysiphe polygoni and responses of bigleaf hydrangeas (Hydrangea macrophylla) to the fungal attack were investigated using bright-field and fluorescence microscopy. Conidia germinated 2 h after inoculation (HAI) and formed primary appressoria at the tip of the primary germ tubes within 4 HAI. Secondary germ tubes were initiated from primary appressoria or other parts of conidia 12 HAI. Hyphae developed through elongation of secondary germ tubes, and paired lateral appressoria were formed along hyphae within 2 days after inoculation (DAI). Conidiophores and conidia were formed 5 DAI. In the susceptible cultivar Nikko Blue and the resistant cultivar Veitchii, the fungus established a parasitic relationship, which was indicated by the formation of haustoria under primary appressoria and development of secondary germ tubes at 1 DAI. A hypersensitive response (HR) and accumulation of callose were detected in both resistant and susceptible cultivars at 3 DAI. Resistance to powdery mildew in Veitchii was evident by manifestation of early accumulation of callose, relatively high percentage of necrotic infected cells, and restricted colony development compared to the susceptible cultivar Nikko Blue. Restricting hyphal growth and sporulation by early response of callose accumulation and HR are important resistance mechanisms that could be used in screening hydrangeas for resistance to powdery mildew.

Genetic control of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) resistance to powdery mildew (Erysiphe polygoni) was studied using segregating populations from the bean variety crosses Jalo x ESAL 686 and ESAL 550 x ESAL 686. F2 plants, together with the parents, were inoculated and evaluated using a scale of values from one (plant without symptoms) to nine (completely infected plant). F2 plants were harvested individually, and F2:3 families were obtained. These families were evaluated in an 11 x 11 and 12 x 12 simple lattice statistical design for the Jalo x ESAL 686 and ESAL 550 x ESAL 686 crosses, respectively, using the same value scale as the F2 generation. The segregation observed in F2 plants and F2:3 families indicated that two genes are involved in genetic control, due to a double recessive epistasis. The high linear regression coefficient (b) between F2 plants and their F2:3 family, 0.66 for ESAL 550 x ESAL 686 cross, and 0.71 for Jalo x ESAL 686 cross, showed that the trait is highly heritable.

Potentilla fruticosa L. (bush cinquefoil), belonging to the family Rosaceae, is an ornamental plant used in parks and gardens. During the spring and summer of 2005, severe outbreaks of a previously unknown powdery mildew were observed in several private gardens located near Biella (northern Italy). The adaxial and abaxial surfaces of leaves as well as the stems were covered with white mycelium. Buds and flowers also were affected. As disease progressed, infected leaves turned yellow and dehisced. Conidia formed in chains and were hyaline, ovoid, and measured 24.0 to 36.0 × 15.8 to 24.0 μm (average 30.1 × 20.0 μm). Fibrosin bodies were present. Chasmothecia were numerous, sphaerical, amber colored, and diameters ranged from 84.0 to 98.4 μm (average 90.4 μm). Each chasmothecium contained one ascus with eight ascospores. Ascospores measured 26.5 to 27.2 × 13.2 to 15.6 μm (average 26.8 × 14.0 μm). On the basis of its morphology, the causal agent was determined to be Podosphaera aphanis (Wallr.) U. Braun & S. Takamatsu var. aphanis U. Braun (1). Pathogenicity was confirmed through inoculations by gently pressing diseased leaves onto leaves of healthy P. fruticosa plants. Three plants were inoculated. Three noninoculated plants served as a control. Plants were maintained at temperatures ranging from 12 to 23°C. Ten days after inoculation, typical symptoms of powdery mildew developed on inoculated plants. Noninoculated plants did not show symptoms. The pathogenicity test was carried out twice. To our knowledge, this is the first report of powdery mildew on P. fruticosa in Italy. Erysiphe polygoni D.C. and Sphaerotheca macularis (Wallr.:Fr.) Lind were observed in the United States on P. fruticosa (2), while in Japan, the presence of S. aphanis var aphanis was reported (3). Voucher specimens are available at the AGROINNOVA Collection, University of Torino. References: (1) U. Braun and S. Takamatsu. Schlechtendalia 4:1, 2000 (2) D. F. Farr et al.
