All the susceptible DH lines in the field experiment behaved accordingly in SSST. However, 35 of resistant 66 lines (53%) in the field, were categorized to susceptible groups in SSST. Likewise, there were no significant differences in WBPH immigrant densities among 70 DH lines that were highly resistant to susceptible in SSST. The results revealed that SSST could not evaluate properly WBPH resistance in the DH lines. Four QTLs for WBPH-resistance phenotyped by the immigrant density were detected on chromosomes 2, 3, 4, and 11. Of them, the QTL on chromosome 4 was the most effective (LOD 21.8, variance 78%). Five QTLs associated with seedling mortality were mapped on chromosomes 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. In addition to the QTL (LOD 10.5, variance 68%) on chromosome 4, there was another major QTL (LOD 12.7, variance 71%) located on chromosome 5, which was SSST-specific but might be irrespective of the WBPH resistance traits.展开更多

[ Method] Using Zhongxin No. 1 red edible seed watermelon advemitious buds as screening materials and fusaric acid (FA) as a stress agent, in vitro screen- ing of Fusarium wilt-resistant red edible seed watermelon clonal variants and identification of Fusarium wilt-resistance of the germplasm resources of red edible seed watermelon were performed. [ Result] The results showed that the appropriate FA for in vitro screening of Fusarium wilt-resistant red edible seed watermelon vari- ants was 15 mg/L. In vitro screening system for Fusarium wilt-resistant red edible seed watermelon variants was established preliminarily and FA-resistant regenera- ted plants were obtained. Among the 36 germplasm resources of red edible seed watermelon, there were 2 highly resistant materials, 6 moderately resistant materi- als, 11 slightly resistant materials and 17 highly susceptible materials. [ Conclusion] This study confirmed preliminarily that in vitro screening method is effective for obtaining resistant materials of red edible seed watermelon.展开更多

Le-sotho lies adjacent to one of the largest wheat producing areas in South Africa, the Eastern Free State, where winter wheat and facultative types are cultivated under dry land conditions. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an important crop adapted to all agro-ecological zones of Lesotho. Russian wheat aphid may have a significant impact on wheat yield. No monitoring or pest control is being done in Lesotho and at this stage there is very little information on the Russian wheat aphid resistance of wheat culti-vars cultivated in Lesotho. In view of this it is important to monitor the distribution of Russian wheat aphid biotypes in Lesotho and determine the level of Russian wheat aphid resistance in local Lesotho wheat cultivars. Two local Lesotho wheat cultivars, Bolane and Makalaote were screened together with South African cultivars Elands, Matlabas, Senqu, PAN3379, PAN3118 and SST387, in the glasshouse against all four known biotypes that occur in South Africa. All these cultivars were also planted in 5 m plots in the field at two localities Leribe and Roma in the lowlands of Lesotho. These cultivars were screened in the field for Russian wheat aphid resistance. The predomi-nant Russian wheat aphid biotypes in these areas were also determined. The Lesotho cultivar, Bolane had resistance against RWASA2 in the glasshouse, while Makalaote did not have any Russian wheat aphid resistance in either the glasshouse or field screenings. To contribute to food security an increasing wheat yield potential is a high priority. Russian wheat aphid has been included in the list of important international cereal pests. Russian wheat aphid adapts to changing environments and taking their ecology, distribution, virulence patterns, and variability into account is important in minimizing the gap between actual and attainable yields. Current management prac-tices for winter wheat in South Africa include the use of resistant cultivars, which is the most economical management strategy for Russian wheat aphid. Introducing Russian wheat aphid resistant cultivars in Lesotho will improve overall yield and as a result food security. This will also result in lower Russian wheat aphid pest pressure in the adjacent wheat production areas in the Eastern Free State, South Africa.展开更多

Survey of the disease was conducted in the wet and dry seasons in six major cassava-growing areas (Essien Udim, Ikono, Itu, Nsit Atai, Oruk Anam and Uyo) of the State to determine the incidence and severity of the disease. Ten commonly grown cassava varieties were then screened in the greenhouse by inoculating each variety with the spore suspension of virulent isolate of the cassava anthracnose pathogen. Disease severity was assessed using size of lesions on the inoculated plants and defoliation caused by the infection. Results of the survey showed that Nsit Atai is a high infection area for CAD. It recorded the highest disease incidence and severity in both the wet season (36.59% and 3.52) and dry season (9.26% and 2.20), respectively. The mean disease incidence (24.10%) and severity (3.23) for the six study areas were higher in the wet season indicating the importance of this season in the occurrence of CAD. Results of the screening test showed that TMS 98/30572 was resistant to the disease. The small lesion size (5.00 mm) observed in this variety would ensure less stem disruption and timely delivery of resources to the actively growing points. The low defoliation (5,65%) observed in the same variety would enhance the photosynthetic capacity of the plant. Therefore, TMS 98/30572 may be recommended to cassava farmers in Akwa Ibom State.展开更多

Most commercial cultivars are susceptible and the disease is usually managed with fungicides. Resistance breeding is the most effective in controlling the disease. In this study, detached - leaf assay and greenhouse inoculation were used to screen 200 Glycine soja accessions for resistance to Phakopsora pachyrhizi in China. Most of the accessions were susceptible, and W8214 was the only accession that demonstrated RB resistance to Phakopsora pachyrhizy. The further repeated tests confirmed the resistance in W8214.展开更多
