Components of Pink Snow Mould Resistance in Winter Wheat are Expressed Prior to Cold Hardening and in Detached Leaves
Resistance to pink snow mould, caused by Microdochium nivale, was investigated in four resistant winter wheat lines from the USDA World Cereal Collection (CI9342, CI14106, PI173440 and PI181268) and three Nordic wheat lines (Bjørke, Rida and V1004). Pink snow mould resistance was tested in non-harde...

Summary: | Resistance to pink snow mould, caused by Microdochium nivale, was investigated in four resistant winter wheat lines from the USDA World Cereal Collection (CI9342, CI14106, PI173440 and PI181268) and three Nordic wheat lines (Bjørke, Rida and V1004). Pink snow mould resistance was tested in non-hardened and cold-hardened plants incubated under artificial snow cover and in detached leaf segments mounted on water agar and incubated at either 3°C in darkness or at room temperature with light during the day. The wheat lines CI9342, CI14106 and PI181268 were more resistant than the Nordic lines, both before and after cold hardening. Thus, although cold hardening strongly increases the level of snow mould resistance in all the wheat lines, some resistance mechanisms are also present prior to cold hardening in some of the resistant lines. CI9342, CI14106 and PI181268 also had a higher level of resistance than the other lines in the detached leaf assay, indicating that these lines have some resistance mechanisms acting in the leaves. The resistance of PI173440 was expressed only in intact hardened plants and not in non-hardened plants or in detached leaves. This indicates that this line relies on cold hardening-related changes in the crown for its resistance. In the detached leaf assay the rate of lesion development varied greatly between leaves of different order. The highest correlation with the whole plant test was obtained when using secondary leaves and incubation at 3°C in the dark. |
