AC Burman is a six-rowed spring feed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivar developed by the Eastern Canada Barley Breeding Group, Agriculture Canada and is adapted to Eastern Canada. It was selected from a Leger/Bruce/2/2*Leger cross. AC Burman has high yield, good test weight and is moderately resistant to loose smut (Ustilago nuda (Jens.) Rostr.).Key words: Hordeum vulgare L., six-rowed barley, feed barley, high yield

The reactions of 18 cultivars and selections of barley, Hordeum vulgare L., to inoculations with three cultures of the loose smut fungus, Ustilago nuda (Jens.) Rostr., were determined. The following conclusions were derived by analyzing the reactions of cultivars Jet (CI 967) and Milton (CI 4966) and derivatives from them to inoculations with cultures 244 of race 2, 49-70 of race 2, and 10 of race 1. Jet was shown to have two genes, Un3 and Un6, and Milton, one gene, Un8. Derivatives from Jet with only gene Un6 were distinguished from those with genes Un3 and Un6. Five host selections known to have a gene or genes at the same locus as Jet were shown to have gene Un6 or a similar gene at that locus.

Three collections of loose smut, Ustilago nuda (Jens.) Rostr., from Manitoba and and Saskatchewan were virulent on commercial cultivars of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) derived from Jet (C.I. 967): Bonanza (C.I. 14003), Conquest (C.I. 11638), Keystone (C.I. 10877), and Paragon (C.I. 13649). These cultivars were previously resistant to all races in North America. The virulence pattern of one of the cultures indicates that the genes Un and Un8 confer resistance and that the genes Un and Un3 are separate.

Resistance to loose smut (Ustilago nuda (Jens.) Rostr.) was identified in two introductions of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) from Ethiopia (CI9973 and CI14099). The gene(s) responsible for the resistance were different from gene Un8 and were equally effective against all strains of loose smut known to be present in western Canada. A synthetic culture of U. nuda containing a combination of virulence factors caused a low level of sporulation on CI14099, but CI9973 remained immune when tested against this strain.Key words: Barley, Hordeum vulgare, loose smut, Ustilago nuda, resistance

A pathogen transmitted by the eriophyid mite, Aceria tulipae, infects a number of Gramineae producing symptoms similar to wheat spot mosaic virus (1). An electron microscope study of leaf ultrastructure from systemically infected Zea mays, Hordeum vulgare, and Triticum aestivum showed the presence of ovoid, double membrane bodies (0.1 - 0.2 microns) in the cytoplasm of parenchyma, phloem and epidermis cells (Fig. 1 ).

Senescence is an ordered degenerative process leading to death of individual cells, organs and organisms. The detection of a conditional lethal mutant (achloroplastic) of Hordeum vulgare has enabled us to investigate ultrastructural changes occurring in leaf tissue during foliar senescence.Examination of the tonoplast structure in six and 14 day-old mutant tissue revealed a progressive degeneration and disappearance of the membrane, apparently starting by day six in the vicinity of the mitochondria associated with the degenerating proplastid (Fig. 1.) where neither of the plastid membrane leaflets is evident (arrows, Fig. 1.). At this stage there was evidence that the mitochondrial membranes were undergoing retrogressive changes, coupled with disorganization of cristae (Fig. 2.). Proplastids (P) lack definitive prolamellar bodies. The cytoplasmic matrix is largely agranular, with few endoplasmic reticulum (ER) cisternae or polyribosomal aggregates. Interestingly, large numbers of actively-budding dictysomes, associated with pinocytotic vesicles, were observed in close proximity to the plasmalemma of mesophyll cells (Fig. 3.). By day 14 however, mesophyll cells showed almost complete breakdown of subcellular organelle structure (Fig. 4.), and further evidence for the breakdown of the tonoplast. The final stage of senescence is characterized by the solubilization of the cell wall due to expression and activity of polygalacturonase and/or cellulose. The presence of dictyosomes with associated pinocytotic vesicles formed from the mature face, in close proximity to both the plasmalemma and the cell wall, would appear to support the model proposed by Christopherson for the secretion of cellulase. This pathway of synthesis is typical for secretory glycoproteins.
