Seedling Infection

Control of blight (Ascochyta fabae Speg.) of fababeans (Vicia faba L.) was attempted by using systemic and non-systemic fungicides in laboratory and field tests during 1974–1976. In the laboratory assays, all seed treatments containing the systemic fungicides benomyl or thiabendazole effectively controlled seed-borne Ascochyta but only soaking seeds in benomyl-thiram (0.2% a.i.) for 8 h effected complete eradication. In the field tests none of the seed treatments significantly reduced the seedling infection. When evaluated as foliar sprays, chlorothalonil was the most promising and was evaluated further on V. faba cultivars Erfordia and Ackerperle. One spray of this fungicide (0.1% a.i.) significantly reduced the disease severity in both cultivars. Seed infection was prevented only in Ackerperle by a minimum of two sprays 3 wk apart. In untreated plots, the disease was more severe in Erfordia than in Ackerperle.

Important Disease

Ascochyta blight is an important disease of faba bean (Vicia faba L.). Yield losses can be as high as 90% and losses of 35–40% are common. The line 29H is one of the most resistant accessions to the pathogen (Ascochyta fabae Speg.) ever described. In this work, we aimed to validate across generations the main quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for ascochyta blight resistance identified in the cross 29H × Vf136 and to test their stability under field conditions. QTLs located on chromosomes II and III have been consistently identified in the recombinant inbred line (RIL) population of this cross, in both controlled (growth chamber) and field conditions and, thus they are good targets for breeding. In addition, a new QTL for disease severity on pods has been located on chromosome VI, but in this case, further validation is still required. A synteny-based approach was used to compare our results with previous QTL works dealing with this pathogen. Our results suggest that the QTL located on chromosome II, named Af2, is the same one reported by other researchers, although it is likely that the donors of resistance differ in the allele conferring the resistance. By contrast, the location of Af3 on chromosome III does not overlap with the position of Af1 reported by other authors, suggesting that Af3 may be an additional source of resistance to ascochyta blight.

Ascochyta blight, caused by Ascochyta fabae Speg., is a disease of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) of worldwide distribution. In this study we have conducted an experiment on Ascochyta fabae resistance in 165 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed by single-seed descent from the cross between resistant and susceptible lines (Vf6 × Vf136) in which A. fabae resistance QTLs (quantitative trait loci) have been previously reported in the original F2 population. Recombinant inbred lines were inoculated under controlled growth chamber conditions and evaluated for disease severity and infection type index. The linkage map was constructed by MAPMAKER V2.0 and the QTL analysis was carried out using QTL Cartographer. Two hundred and seventy-seven markers (238 RAPDs, 4 isozymes, 5 ESTs, 1 SCAR, 6 SSRs, 2 STSs, and 21 intron-spanning markers) mapped into 21 linkage groups covering 2.856.7 cM, with a mean inter-marker distance of 12.72 cM. Composite interval mapping identified two zones of putative QTL action in the RIL population for DSL (disease severity on leaves) and DSS (disease severity on stems) traits. Putative QTLs (Af1 and Af2) were identified on chromosome 3 and chromosome 2, respectively, and jointly explained 24% of the phenotypic variance of DSL and 16% of DSS. With this study we have (1) confirmed the QTLs for ascochyta blight resistance found in F3 families in the derived RILs (F6), (2) re-estimated their position and genetic effects, and (3) assessed the stability of these QTLs in different genetic backgrounds by comparison of the mapping data with a previous QTL study.

Auxin not only controls the development processes, but also regulates the stress responses of plants. In this investigation, we explored the potential roles of exogenously applied indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in conferring salt tolerance in the faba bean (Vicia faba L.). Our results showed that foliar application of IAA (200 ppm) to salt-exposed (60 mM and 150 mM NaCl) plants promoted growth, which was evidenced by enhanced root–stem traits. IAA application ensured better osmotic protection in salt-stressed plants which was supported by reduced proline and enhanced soluble sugar, soluble protein, and total free amino acid contents in the roots, stem, and seeds. IAA application also increased the number of nodules in salt-stressed plants, which may facilitate better nitrogen assimilation. Moreover, IAA mediated improvements in mineral homeostasis (K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+) and the translocation of Na+, while it also inhibited excessive accumulation of Na+ in the roots. Salt-induced oxidative damage resulted in increased accumulation of malondialdehyde, whereas IAA spraying relegated malondialdehyde by improving antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, and ascorbate peroxidase. Together, these results together with a principal component analysis uncovered that foliar spraying of IAA alleviated the antagonistic effects of salt stress via enhancing osmolyte accumulation, ionic homeostasis, and antioxidant activity. Finally, exogenous IAA enhanced the yield of broad beans under high salinity conditions.

Effect On Yield

Background: In Tunisia, faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is the first major food legume. The development of faba bean production is facing several biotic constraints. Faba bean Ascochyta blight caused by Ascochyta fabae is one of the most destructive diseases of faba bean and can cause significant yield loss under favorable conditions. As only incomplete resistance ABL varieties are available, some agronomic practices should be applied to control and reduce Ascochyta blight incidence wherever possible. Therefore, this work was undertaken to evaluate the effect of spacing row and seed rate on ABL severity, growth and yield of faba bean. Methods: A split-plot design with three replications was adopted to carry out this study during 2018 and 2019 cropping seasons. ‘Bachaar’ faba bean variety was sown at 40 and 60 cm row spacing and at three seed rates (100, 140 and 200 kg ha-1). ABL severity was assessed visually on a 0-9 scale and agro-morphological traits were measured. Analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. Correlations between agronomic traits, row spacing, seed rate and ABL severity were investigated. Result: Results showed that seed rate has a larger effect on yield than row spacing. In both cropping seasons, the highest grain yield was recorded in 60 cm row spacing and 140 kg ha-1 seed rate treatment. So, this treatment is recommended for obtaining high yield of faba bean. Most of the variation in disease severity was associated with seed rate (r=0.62). The highest ABL score severity was noted at 200 kg ha-1 rate. Over both years, wide row spacing and low seed rate reduced ABL severity. In this study, the small amounts of ABL disease (which reached a score of 5.3 and 4.7 in 2018 and 2019, respectively) had little or no effect on yield.

SUMMARYThe effect of breeding for the absence of condensed tannins in the testa ofVicia fabaL. on resistance to foot rot, Ascochyta blight and chocolate spot diseases was investigated in 1988–92 at Wageningen, The Netherlands. For this purpose the disease development in tannin-free and tannin-containing partners of six near-isogenic pairs was compared after exposure to causative pathogens. Except for one near-isogenic pair, in which both partner lines showed a relatively high resistance, the tannin-free lines were more susceptible to foot rot than the tannin-containing partners of the same pair. This observation indicates that the presence of condensed tannins in the testa prevents infection of the plant by the causative pathogens.Fusarium oxysporumandF. solani, isolated from faba bean tissues showing foot rot symptoms, were shown to be primary foot rot pathogens, whileF. avenaceumcaused wilting of young plantlets. No pathogenic isolates were obtained fromF. tabacinum. Resistance toBotrytis fabae(chocolate spot disease), scored on leaves and stems under glasshouse and field conditions in 1992, was not influenced by selection for the absence of condensed tannins which occur in the testa of mature seeds. Under the same environmental conditions, leaves, stems, pods and seeds of tannin-free lines showed similar levels of damage due toAscochyta fabae(Ascochyta blight) as the tannin-containing partner lines of the same near-isogenic pair. These results indicate that condensed tannins do not play a role in resistance to bothB. fabaeandA. fabae, probably because, except for the seeds, these polyphenols do not accumulate in the tissues affected by these pathogens.
