Genetic analysis for resistance to bacterial blight (Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae) of 21 rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars was carried out. These cultivars were divided into two groups based on their reactions to Philippine races of bacterial blight. Cultivars of group 1 were resistant to race 1 and those of group 2 were susceptible to race 1 but resistant to race 2. All the cultivars were crossed with TN1, which is susceptible to all the Philippine races of X. oryzae pv. oryzae. F1 and F2 populations of hybrids of group 1 cultivars were evaluated using race 1 and F1 and F2 populations of hybrids of group 2 cultivars were evaluated using race 2. All the cultivars showed monogenic inheritance of resistance. Allelic relationships of the genes were investigated by crossing these cultivars with different testers having single genes for resistance. Three cultivars have Xa4, another three have xa5, one has xa8, two have Xa3, eight have Xa10, and one has Xa4 as well as Xa10. Three cultivars have new, as yet undescribed, genes. Nep Bha Bong To has a new recessive gene for moderate resistance to races 1, 2, and 3 and resistance to race 5. This gene is designated xa26(t). Arai Raj has a dominant gene for resistance to race 2 which segregates independently of Xa10. This gene is designated as Xa27(t). Lota Sail has a recessive gene for resistance to race 2 which segregates independently of Xa10. This gene is designated as xa28(t).

Resistance to Black rot was studied in B. oleracea, B. campestris and B. napus, using three different inoculation procedures. The results indicated that hydathode inoculation without wounding and the wound suspension technique were useful for differentiating levels of resistance found in B. oleracea and B. campestris, but not in B. napus. Only the wound colony method allowed differentiation between high and moderate resistance in B napus. B. napus, PI 199947 and PI 199949, exhibited the highest resistance found in cultivated Brassica species. In B. campestris, two chinese cabbage accessions showed quantitative inheritance for moderate levels of resistance. In B. napus, the high level of reistance was conferred by one dominant gene, to which the symbol Br was assigned, whereas the moderate resistance was due to one recessive gene bm.

The mode of inheritance of resistance to bacterial blight, Xanthomonas campestris pv. Oryzae was studied in 12 rice cultivars: 'BR51-282-8', 'DV85', 'CAS209', 'Java14', 'IR4613-54-5', 'Zenith', 'IR36', 'Neuli', 'BJ1', 'LZN', 'MRC603-303', and 'D204-1'. These resistance cultivars were crossed with a susceptible tester parent 'TN1'. The plants were inoculated at the maximum tillering stage by the clipping technique. From the reactions of F1, F2, and F3 populations, it was found that resistance in 'LZN', 'MRC603-303', and 'D204-1' was conditioned by a single recessive gene. The resistance in 'BR51-282-8', 'DV85', 'CAS209', 'Javal4', 'IR4613-54-5', 'Zenith', 'IR36', 'Neuli', and 'BJ1' was controlled by a single dominant gene. The allelic relationships of resistance genes in the test cultivars with Xa4 was studied. The Xa4 gene was originally identified and designated in 'IR22'. The resistance genes in the test cultivars were nonallelic to Xa4. The trisomie lines of 'IR36' were crossed with 'Jaya', a highly susceptible cultivar to bacterial blight. The segregation pattern of the F2 and backcross generations revealed that the resistance gene of 'IR36' was located on chromosome 12 of the rice genome.Key words: rice, resistance, bacterial blight, allelic relationship, trisomics.

Tan spot is a stubble-borne foliar disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Died.) Drechs. The potential for yield losses due to tan spot has increased with the adoption of conservation tillage practices. The main objective of this study was to determine the inheritance of resistance among seven wheat genotypes to the tan necrosis- and chlorosis-in ducing, race 1, isolate ASC1 (nec+ chl+), and the necrosis-inducing toxin, Ptr ToxA. Crosses were made between four resistant (Erik, ST6, 6B367, 6B1043) and three susceptible genotypes (Katepwa, BH1146, ST15). Parental, F1 and F2 populations were inoculated with ASC1 and infiltrated with Ptr ToxA under controlled environments. F2-derived F3 families were grown in the field and inoculated with ASC1. No reciprocal differences were observed. Resistance to the tan necrosis-inducing component of ASC1 and insensitivity to Ptr ToxA was controlled by a single recessive gene, whereas resistance to the chlorosis-inducing component of ASC1 was controlled by a single dominant gene. Genetic control of responses to each component (tan necrosis- or chlorosis-inducing) of ASC1 was independent. Lack of segregation among F2 progeny from crosses between resistant genotypes indicated that resistant genotypes carry at least one gene in common for resistance to ASC1. Key words: Triticum aestivum, Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, disease resistance, inheritance, Ptr ToxA, necrosis, chlorosis, toxin, tan spot, leaf spot

Inheritance of fertility restoration was studied in crosses involving ten elite restorer lines of rice viz. BR6839-41-5-1R, BR7013-62-1-1R, BR7011-37-1-2R, BR10R, BR11R, BR12R, BR13R, BR14R, BR15R and BR16R and one male sterile line Jin23A with WA sources of cytoplasmic male sterility. The segregation pattern for pollen fertility of F2 and BC1 populations of crosses involving Jin23A indicated the presence of two independent dominant fertility restoring genes. The mode of action of the two genes varied in different crosses revealing three types of interaction, i.e. epistasis with dominant gene action, epistasis with recessive gene action, and epistasis with incomplete dominance.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpbg.v24i1.16997

Four barley varieties, each immune to a Valki-attacking culture of loose smut (designated as race 2), were studied with respect to the inheritance of their resistance. Jet (C.I. 967) and Nigrinudum (C.I. 2222) were each found to possess two independent dominant genes determining resistance. Steudelli (C.I. 2266) proved to be immune to race 2 through the action of a single dominant gene, while resistance of Hillsa (C.I. 1604) was found to be conditioned by two complementary dominant genes. The absence of susceptible F3 families in crosses between Jet, Nigrinudum, and Steudelli indicated that these three varieties have in common a gene or genes for resistance to the race of smut used. The two complementary genes for resistance in Hillsa proved to be distinct from those of the other three varieties under study.The use of genetic analyses of disease resistance based upon classification of F3 families of the backcross to the resistant source is described and the merits of such a method are discussed.

Six parent diallel cross without reciprocal was studied to investigate the genetic behavior of different agronomic traits in rice. The analysis of Wr-Vr graph showed that panicle length, thousand grain weight and grain yield per plant did not follow the additive-dominance model indicating epistatic gene action responsible for the expression of these traits. All other traits under the study were conditioned by overdominance gene action except grains per panicle, which was controlled by partial dominance. The Yr? – (Vr + Wr)? graph revealed random distribution of dominant and recessive gene in expressing different traits in different parent, while correlation between parental mean and parental order of dominance indicated increasing effect of dominant gene for all the traits except days to heading and % spikelet sterility.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpbg.v20i2.17033

The symptoms of tan spot of wheat, caused by Pyrenophora triticirepentis, include a tan necrosis component and an extensive chlorosis component. Since tan spot has become the major component of the leafspotting disease complex of wheat in western Canada, the need for resistant cultivars has increased. This study was conducted to determine whether the resistance to tan spot found in a diverse set of spring and winter wheat genotypes was due to resistance genes not previously reported. The genetic control of resistance to necrosis induced by P. triticirepentis race 1 and race 2 was determined, under controlled environmental conditions, for spring wheat genotypes Erik and 86ISMN 2137 and winter wheat genotypes Hadden, Red Chief, and 6B-365. Plants were inoculated at the two-leaf stage and disease reaction was assessed based on lesion type. Tests of the F1 and F2 generations, and of F2:3 and F2:8 families, indicated that one recessive gene controlled resistance to the necrosis component of tan spot caused by both race 1 and race 2 in each cross studied. Lack of segregation in crosses between the resistant cultivars indicated that the resistance gene was the same in all of the cultivars.

ABSTRACT Root-knot nematode (RKN), [Meloidogyne arenaria (Neal) Chitwood race 1] can result in highly significant yield losses in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) production. Fortunately, very high levels of RKN nematode resistance have been identified and incorporated from wild species into newly developed peanut cultivars. In 2011-12 at Tifton, GA, a field site was artificially inoculated with M. arenaria race 1. A susceptible cultivar was used to uniformly increase the peanut-specific race 1 nematode population during the summer and fall; whereas, hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) was used for the same purpose each winter as a susceptible cover crop. During 2013 and 2014, space-planted F2 and F3 populations from cross combinations involving A. hypogaea susceptible × resistant parental lines derived from ‘COAN’ were evaluated, respectively. Several past inheritance studies had suggested a single dominant gene, Rma, controlled the resistance. However in this study, the occurrence of a second recessive gene (rma2) was also found to be involved in very high peanut RKN resistance. Inheritance data fit a 13:3 genetic model and confirmed an earlier report for two RKN-resistance genes (Rma1 and rma2) found in TxAG-6 and now COAN.
