Ten potato cultivars were tested for susceptibility to infection by Erwinia carotovora subsp atroseptica (Eca) the causal agent of blackleg over two maincrop seasons in 200506 and 200607 The pathogen was inoculated into seed tubers using toothpicks charged with undiluted bacterial growth Blackleg incidence was assessed 56 weeks after planting The field experiments clearly confirmed that potato cultivars vary significantly in susceptibility to blackleg Some New Zealand cultivars had a lower susceptibility to blackleg than current commercial cultivars The new Plant Food Research release Summer Delight in particular had an exceptional level of resistance and will be used as a parent in efforts to develop potato cultivars with lower blackleg susceptibility than current local commercial cultivars Routine screening of Plant Food Research breeding lines and cultivars will continue to be carried out over several seasons to confirm results presented here and to determine further blacklegresistant germplasm

Subsequent to the detection of Pseudomonas syringae pv actinidiae (Psa) on kiwifruit in Te Puke (November 2010) isolates of Pseudomonas spp from kiwifruit stored in the International Collection of Microorganisms from Plants (ICMP) and at Plant Food Research (PFR) were tested by PCR for Psa A total of 139 isolates from ICMP were assayed with the previously published primer pairs PsaF1/PsaR2 and PAV1/P22 An amplicon of expected size for Psa was produced from 19 isolates using primers PAV1/P22 but no amplicons were obtained using the primers PsaF1/PsaR2 Amplicons produced by primers PAV1/P22 were sequenced and these isolates were identified as Pseudomonas viridiflava A further 52 Pseudomonas isolates collected from kiwifruit and stored at PFR did not amplify a PCR product with primers PsaF1/PsaR2 These PCR tests confirm that Psa was not detected in any of the cultures held in the ICMP or at PFR The screening of historical Pseudomonas isolates associated with kiwifruit suggests that Psa strains had not been isolated from New Zealand kiwifruit samples prior to the detection in 2010

Central Otago growers wishing to export apricots to Australia are required to have fruit graded packed and inspected by a registered packhouse as part of the Offshore PreClearance Inspection Programme As part of this programme an Australian government inspector is brought to Central Otago by the industry for approximately 6 weeks to carry out fruit inspections in the packhouse specifically targeting insect interceptions Any insects found in the 600 fruit sampled from each lot inspected (0530 pallets) are brought to Plant Food Research Clyde where a technician prepares the specimen for remote microscopy diagnostics (RMD) RMD enables sameday insect identification by experts from the Plant Health and Environment Laboratory Ministry for Primary Industries Christchurch A camera mounted on a compound or stereo microscope relays images in real time via the internet enabling the specimen to be manipulated by the technician in Clyde for identification by qualified staff in Christchurch Previously insect identification took approximately 3 days as specimens were sent by courier from Central Otago to a certified laboratory in Auckland RMD real time saving equates to less fruit spoilage and less disruption to transport systems awaiting shipments to be cleared

Austropuccinia Psidii

As the observed distribution of myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii) changes within New Zealand, many stakeholders are interested in the spread of this disease, resulting in a number of organisations carrying out various levels of monitoring. There is a need to compile these monitoring data from multiple sources and provide easy access to basic disease distribution information, for the benefit of all interested parties. This should include not only locations of positive myrtle-rust detections, but also the rate of monitoring in areas where it has not yet been detected (confirmed absence). This project provided visual information in the form of maps that are easy to interpret by general and/or specific users. Resolution was useful and informative while maintaining privacy of landowners. A series of maps is presented, showing the advance in sampling effort and the disease distribution across New Zealand, as measured from surveillance effort from Ministry for Primary Industries, Department of Conservation, botanical gardens, Plant and Food Research and the Myrtle Rust Reporter app (NatureWatch NZ). Further analysis of such data will inform ongoing management and research.
