Yellow leaf spot (YLS) or tan spot, caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is a major foliar disease of wheat. A bioassay was used to identify YLS seedling resistance phenotypes of Krichauff/Brookton and Cranbrook/Halberd doubled-haploid (DH) populations. Bulked-segregant analysis was used to identify amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers linked to a YLS resistance locus in the wheat cultivar Brookton. Three AFLPs were linked to YLS resistance and also to each other. One of these AFLPs was mapped to the interval Xbcd351–Xcdo400, which has been assigned to chromosome 5BL. Microsatellite markers in this region were selected from several maps and were genotyped on the Krichauff/Brookton population. Together with the bulked segregant analysis (BSA)-derived AFLPs, the microsatellite markers explained up to 39% of the total phenotypic variation (logarithm of odds ratio, LOD ≥� 7.32), confirming the chromosome 5BL assignment of a Brookton YLS resistance locus, at or near the previously identified Pyrenophora tritici-repentis toxin-insensitivity locus tsn1. The marker–trait linkage was validated in the Cranbrook/Halberd DH population, in which the same microsatellite markers explained up to 60% of the total trait variance for YLS. The markers identified can be used for the selection of the Brookton and Cranbrook YLS seedling resistance locus on chromosome 5B.

The purpose of the current work was to study the development of tan spot, the causative agent of yellow leaf spot Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Died) Drechsler on winter bread wheat in the conditions of the Saratov region of Russia. In 2018–2019 there was carried out an estimation of the resistance of 33 winter bread wheat samples to the causative agent of yellow leaf spot. It was established that the varieties “Gostianum 237” and “Levoberezhnaya 1” were characterized by a high level of resistance in the fields. There were identified such weak susceptible varieties as “Victoria 95”, “Gubernia”, “Mironovskaya 808”, “Donskaya bezostaya”, “Smuglyanka”, “Kalach 60”, “111-96 / Zhemchuzhina Povolzhiya”, “L 329 / Urozhaynaya”, “Gubernia / Zhemchuzhina Povolzhiya”, “Saratovskaya 90/ Ukraina”, “L 503 / M Freeman”, “81-93 / (Saratovskaya 11 / Kharkov 82)”. There was identified a moderate damage in the varieties “Lutenscens 230”, “Saratovskaya 80”, “Saratovskaya 90 / 14431 M”, “Sozvesdie”, “Anastasia”, “Saratovskaya 8 / Yubilyar”. The varieties “Zhemchuzhina Povolzhiya”, “Saratovskaya 17”, “Elvira”, “Saratovskaya 8 / B.Z.D.”, “(26-72 / N 49)/(L 15 / Pia)/Sar. 8)”, “Saratovskaya 8 / Yubilyar”, “L 503 / M Freeman”, “30-99/(Saratovskaya 11 / Kharkovskaya 82)”, “Sharada / L 31-98”, “346-06 / L 1334-5”, “Saratovskaya 90”, “L 329 / Saratovskaya ubileynaya”, “Istok/(Saratovskaya 90 / L 503)”, “Brigantina / Don 74” were found susceptible to the pathogen. It was identified that the proportion of winter soft wheat samples resistant to Pyrenophora tritici-repentis was 42% of the total number of varieties studied. There was studied dynamics of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis development in the winter soft wheat variety “Saratovskaya90”. It was found out that the damage degree of the winter bread wheat variety “Saratovskaya90” greatly depended upon the remoteness of the sowings from the source of infection.

Tan spot, caused by the fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, causes serious yield losses in wheat (Triticum aestivum) and many other grasses. Race 1 of the fungus, which produces the necrosis toxin Ptr ToxA and the chlorosis toxin Ptr ToxC, is the most prevalent race in the Great Plains of the United States. Wheat genotypes with useful levels of resistance to race 1 have been deployed, but this resistance reduces damage by only 50 to 75%. Therefore, new sources of resistance to P. tritici-repentis are needed. Recombinant inbred lines developed from a cross between the Indian spring wheat cvs. WH542 (resistant) and HD29 (moderately susceptible) were evaluated for reaction to race 1 of the fungus. Composite interval mapping revealed quantitative trait loci (QTL) on the short arm of chromosome 3A explaining 23% of the phenotypic variation, and the long arm of chromosome 5B explaining 27% of the variation. Both resistance alleles were contributed by the WH542 parent. The QTL on 5BL is probably tsn1, which was described previously. The 3AS QTL (QTs.ksu-3AS) on 3AS is a novel QTL for resistance to P. tritici-repentis race 1. The QTL region is located in the most distal bin of chromosome 3AS in a 2.2-centimorgan marker interval. Flanking markers Xbarc45 and Xbarc86 are suitable for marker-assisted selection for tan spot resistance.

Prevalence of tan spot of wheat caused by the fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis has become more prevalent in Oklahoma as no-till cultivation in wheat has increased. Hence, developing wheat varieties resistant to tan spot has been emphasized, and selecting pathogen isolates to screen for resistance to this disease is critical. Twelve isolates of P. tritici-repentis were used to inoculate 11 wheat cultivars in a greenhouse study in splitplot experiments. Virulence of isolates and cultivar resistance were measured in percent leaf area infection for all possible isolate x cultivar interactions. Isolates differed significantly (P < 0.01) in virulence on wheat cultivars, and cultivars differed significantly in disease reaction to isolates. Increased virulence of isolates detected increased variability in cultivar response (percent leaf area infection) (r = 0.56, P < 0.05) while increased susceptibility in cultivars detected increased variance in virulence of the isolates (r = 0.76, P < 0.01). A significant isolate × cultivar interaction indicated specificity between isolates and cultivars, however, cluster analysis indicated low to moderate physiological specialization. Similarity in wheat cultivars in response to pathogen isolates also was determined by cluster analysis. The use of diverse isolates of the fungus would facilitate evaluation of resistance in wheat cultivars to tan spot.

Barley leaf scald disease, caused by the fungal pathogen Rhynchosporium secalis, can be economically damaging, causing both yield losses and lower quality from reduced grain size. Most genetic studies of scald resistance have concentrated on seedling reactions either because of a lack of access to field screening resources or else because of the more definitive phenotype obtained at the seedling stage. However, understanding the genetics of adult plant resistance (APR) to leaf scald could help to produce more durable resistance to this disease. APR to leaf scald in a Chebec/Harrington population (120 doubled haploid (DH) lines) and a Mundah/Keel population (95 DH lines) was determined at Turretfield, South Australia, in 2004. Two different conditions of scald infection were used for Chebec/Harrington, natural infection and inoculation with 2 known scald isolates, whereas Mundah/Keel was inoculated with 2 known isolates. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for scald resistance were identified using a previously published Chebec/Harrington map. Three QTLs (on chromosomes 7HS, 7HL, and 6HS) were identified using the natural infection data and one QTL on chromosome 6HL using the inoculated plant data. Two QTLs were identified on chromosome 3HL and 6HS, respectively, using a partial map of Mundah/Keel. An unmapped Schooner/O’Connor population, consisting of 116 DH lines, was also phenotyped for adult plant resistance to scald using natural infection at Turretfield in 2001. Bulked-segregant analysis was used to identify molecular markers linked to a scald resistance locus in the barley cultivar O’Connor on chromosome 6HS, at the same location as the QTLs identified from Harrington and Keel. Six of the QTLs for APR to leaf scald identified in this study were co-located with previously identified seedling resistance genes.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of crop sequence, summerfallow frequency, and fertilizer application, on the severity of leaf spotting diseases of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). In the field experiment examined, Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Died.) Drechs. was the pathogen most commonly isolated from lesioned leaf tissue, followed by stagonospora blotch (Phaeosphaeria nodorum [E. Müller] Hedjaroude). The severity of leaf spots in wheat after fallow was greater than in monoculture continuous wheat, or in wheat after a noncereal crop. Percent area with leaf spots in wheat grown after wheat was higher than in wheat grown after flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) or lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) in years with high disease pressure (1995 and 1996), but not in 1993 or 1994 when overall disease levels were low. Under soil N-deficient conditions, leaf spot levels increased in years with dry summers (1994 and 1996), whereas a P deficiency decreased leaf spot severity in years that had cool and wet springs (1995 and 1996). A survey of producers' fields confirmed the observations made in the research plots, in particular, wheat after wheat was not more severely diseased than wheat grown in rotation with a noncereal crop. We concluded that the use of fallow, or 1 yr of rotation with a noncereal crop, will not reduce leaf spotting diseases of spring wheat in southwestern Saskatchewan. The best rotation aimed at reducing the levels of disease appeared to be 2 consecutive years of spring wheat, followed by at least 2 yr of a noncereal crop, or by a noncereal crop and summerfallow.

<i>Pyrenophora tritici</i>-<i>repentis</i>, causal agent of tan spot, is one of the most important wheat leaf spot pathogens worldwide. The race structure of <i>P. tritici</i>-<i>repentis</i> isolates obtained from wheat (except one from noncereal grass species) in the Czech Republic was studied. The 86 monosporic isolates of <i>P. tritici</i>-<i>repentis</i> originated from different parts of the Czech Republic were grouped into five known races based on necrosis/chlorosis induction on standard differentials (Katepwa, Glenlea, 6B365, Salamouni). The isolates recovered from wheat were races 1, 2 and 4. Race 1 was the most frequent (50%), races 2 and 4 were found rarely (3% and 5% respectively). The isolate of <i>P. tritici</i>-<i>repentis</i> recovered from noncereal grass species was determined as race 4 which seems to be typical for noncereal hosts. The reaction of 30 isolates (42%) was difficult to be compared to reactions of so far identified <i>P. tritici</i>-<i>repentis</i> races. They have to be tested again on additional wheat genotypes.

Tan spot, caused by the fungal pathogen Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is a major leaf spot disease of wheat worldwide. To facilitate genetic analysis of this homothallic fungus, mutants resistant to the fungicide iprodione or hygromycin B were created through ultraviolet light mutagenesis and used in sexual crosses. Conidia from two isolates of P. tritici-repentis, sensitive to both chemicals (iprodione-S hygromycin-S), were exposed to ultraviolet light to obtain four mutants resistant to iprodione but sensitive to hygromycin B (iprodione-R hygromycin-S) and three mutants resistant to hygromycin B but sensitive to iprodione (iprodione-S hygromycin-R). The mutants were paired in all combinations, and the markers allowed crossed progeny to be distinguished from selfed progeny. Crossed ascospore progeny from pairings between iprodione-R hygromycin-S isolates and iprodione-S hygromycin-R isolates and between iprodione-R hygromycin-R isolates and iprodione-S hygromycin-S segregated 1:1 for resistance–sensitivity to both iprodione and hygromycin B. These results indicate that one locus controls iprodione resistance and a second independent locus controls hygromycin B resistance. This study should facilitate further genetic research on the tan spot fungus by providing a simple marker system. Key words: genetics, inheritance, Drechslera, yellow spot, leaf spot.

Intensified wheat production, changes in cultural practices including shifts from conventional tillage to reduced tillage practices, and wheat monoculture involving cultivation of susceptible cultivars has resulted in development of tan spot to epidemic proportions in Kazakhstan. Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, causal agent of tan spot on wheat. In recent years, there has been increasing distribution and harmfulness of P. tritici-repentis on wheat. The aim of the study was to identify and select wheat germplasm resistant to tan spot P. tritici-repentis using molecular markers. The results of field evaluation showed resistant reaction to tan spot in 76 wheat varieties (68%). Molecular screening of wheat germplasm was carried out based on the reaction to the fungal inoculum and to host-specific toxins (HST) produced by the P. tritici-repentis. The wheat germplasm insensitive to the toxins HST Ptr ToxA and Ptr ToxB was selected. As a result of molecular screening of 111 wheat genotypes using SSR marker Xfcp623 linked to insensitivity gene to the selective toxin Ptr ToxA of tan spot, 31 carriers of effective tsn1 gene were identified, which accounted for 27,9% of the genotypes studied. Ten samples of wheat (Jubileynaya 60, TOO11/TOOOO7, F3.71/TRM/VORONA/3/OC14, NANJTNG 82149 KAUZ, ECHA/LI115, Akmola 2, Kazakh-stanskaya rannespelaya, Kazakhstanskaya 25, 428g/MK-122A and 190-Naz/GF55) are characterized with complex resistance to the races Ptr 1 and 5, as well as to 2 toxins (ToxA and ToxB) and to the Septoria nodorum blotch isolate SNB7k. 20 promising wheat lines resistant to tan spot were selected. These genotypes also showed a moderate and high level of field resistance and recommended to use in the breeding programs for resistance to tan spot.

Tan spot and Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB), caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis and Stagonospora nodorum, respectively, are two destructive foliar diseases of wheat, causing significant yield reduction worldwide. The objective of this study was to evaluate 172 accessions of wild emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccoides) for seedling resistance to tan spot and SNB. All accessions were inoculated with P. tritici-repentis race 1 and a mixture of three diverse isolates of S. nodorum, respectively. The accessions were also evaluated for sensitivity to host-selective toxins (HSTs), including ToxA produced by both S. nodorum and P. tritici-repentis and culture filtrate produced by S. nodorum. A total of 34 accessions were resistant to tan spot, and 136 accessions were resistant to SNB. Among these accessions, 31 were resistant to both diseases. Significant correlations between HST insensitivity and disease resistance were observed. Our results showed that T. dicoccoides is a good genetic source of resistance to tan spot and SNB in wheat.
