A taxonomic study was made of 1348 isolates of Fusarium found in 206 soil samples collected in 1946. Approximately 70% of the samples, or 143, were obtained from 127 localities in Manitoba; the remaining 30%, or 63, came from seven other provinces.Of 25,973 colonies of fungi that developed on the 2060 soil-dilution plates involved in this study, Fusarium accounted for approximately 5%. A total of 14 species and varieties of Fusarium, classified in nine sections of the genus, were isolated; they are F. merismoides Cda., F. poae (Pk.) Wr., F. sporotrichioides Sherb., F. avenaceum (Fr.) Sacc., F. semitectum Berk. & Rav., F. acuminatum Ell. & Ev., F. equiseti (Cda.) Sacc., F. culmorum (W. G. Sm.) Sacc., F. sambucinum Fuckel, F. sambucinum var. coeruleum Wr., F. moniliforme Sheld. emend. S. & H., F. oxysporum Schlecht. emend. S. & H., F. oxysporum var. redolens (Wr.) Gordon, F. solani (Mart.) App. & Wr. emend. S. & H. F. oxysporum, F. oxysporum var. redolens, F. equiseti, and F. solani accounted for approximately 90% of the total Fusarium isolates. F. oxysporum was by far the most prevalent species isolated. With the exception of F. merismoides, all of the species isolated were found previously to be seed-borne by cereals and to be associated with common root rot of those crops.

A survey to determine the geographic distribution of common root rot in Queensland wheatgrowing areas was conducted in 1978, 1979 and 1980. In 1980, soil populations of Bipolaris sorokiniana were determined from the areas where common rot was assessed. Common root rot was found in all areas and was most severe in the South-western Downs, Western Downs and Northern Darling Downs and least severe in the Central Highlands. Incidence of common root rot over all areas changed from 77% in 1978, to 65% in 1979, and to 56% in 1980. This was mostly due to a reduction from 91 to 44% on the Darling Downs. The lower incidence in 1979 and 1980 was thought to be associated with lower rainfall in those years and in some areas with an increase in rotation to crops other than winter cereals. Severity of common root rot was significantly lower only in 1979. In general, the severity of common root rot in Queensland was higher than that recorded in Canada and lower than that recorded in Brazil. Soil populations of B. sorokiniana varied from 0 to 320 propagules per gram of soil with an overall mean of 58. They were highest in the Western and Southwestern Downs, and lowest in the Central Highlands. In general, the size of the populations were less than those recorded elsewhere.

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, caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana, is one of the most prevalent diseases of wheat and has led to major declines in wheat yield and quality worldwide. Here, strain XZ34-1 was isolated from soil and identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens based on the morphological, physiological, biochemical characteristics and 16S rDNA sequence. Culture filtrate (CF) of strain XZ34-1 showed a high inhibition rate against B.sorokiniana and had a broad antifungal spectrum. It also remarkably inhibited the mycelial growth and spore germination of B. sorokiniana. In pot control experiments, the incidence and disease index of common root rot in wheat seedlings were decreased after treatment with CF, and the biological control efficacy was significant, up to 78.24%. Further studies showed XZ34-1 could produce antifungal bioactive substances and had the potential of promoting plant growth. Lipopeptide genes detection with PCR indicated that strain XZ34-1 may produce lipopeptides. Furthermore, activities of defense-related enzymes were enhanced in wheat seedlings after inoculation with B.sorokiniana and treatment with CF, which showed induced resistance could be produced in wheat to resist pathogens. These results reveal that strain XZ34-1 is a promising candidate for application as a biological control agent against B.sorokiniana.

Due to the field soil changes, high density planting, and straw-returning methods, wheat common root rot (spot blotch), Fusarium crown rot (FCR), and sharp eyespot have become severe threatens to global wheat productions. Only a few wheat genotypes show moderate resistance to these root and crown rot fungal diseases, and the genetic determinants of wheat resistance to these devastating diseases have been poorly understood. This review summarizes the recent progress of genetic studies on wheat resistance to common root rot, Fusarium crown rot, and sharp eyespot. Wheat germplasms with relative higher resistance are highlighted and genetic loci controlling the resistance to each of the disease are summarized.
