The wheat curl mite (Eriophyes tulipae Keifer) is the vector of both wheat streak mosaic virus and the wheat spot mosaic agent, which cause damaging diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum). A spontaneous translocation between chromosome 6A of the hard spring wheat cultivar 'Cadet' and a group 6 chromosome (6Ag) from decaploid Agropyron elongatum (Host) Beauv. resulted in a transfer of resistance to colonization by the wheat curl mite from 6Ag to a wheat chromosome. Transmission of resistance was 50.2% through the egg and 28.2% through the pollen. In segregating progenies, 64.1% of the plants were resistant, and 25.5% of the resistant plants were homozygous resistant. Meiotic pairing of hybrids from crosses between the translocation line and ditelocentrics for chromosome 6A suggested that the translocated chromosome consisted of the short arm of 'Cadet' 6A and the p or short arm of chromosome 6Ag of A. elongatum that confers mite resistance. This postulation was confirmed by electrophoretic patterns of seed endosperm proteins; the translocation line produced α-gliadins coded by genes on the short arm of 'Cadet' 6A as well as β-gliadins coded by genes on the short arm of A. elongatum chromosome 6.Key words: electrophoresis, gliadins, wheat streak mosaic virus, Agropyron elongatum, Robertsonian translocation.

Wheat Curl Mite

Wheat curl mite (WCM), Aceria tosichella, is the vector of Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV), a destructive viral pathogen in wheat (Triticum aestivum). Genetic resistance to WCM colonization can reduce the incidence of wheat streak mosaic. Chromosome 6V in Hay-naldia villosa is a new source of WCM resistance. We compared variation in resistance among different sources of H. villosa chromosome 6V and 6VS lines to WCM and WSMV and their effectiveness in controlling the incidence of WSMV following exposure to viruliferous WCM. WCM resistance varied among the 6V and 6VS lines depending on the H. villosa parent. The 6V substitution lines Yi80928, GN21, and GN22 derived from an accession of H. villosa from China, and the 6VS translocation lines 92R137, 92R178, and Sub6V from an H. villosa accession collected from the United Kingdom were uniformly resistant to WCM colonization. In contrast, the 6V substitution line RW15 and a 6VS translocation line Pm33 developed from an H. villosa collection from the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics were susceptible to WCM. All 6V and 6VS lines were susceptible to WSMV when manually inoculated. However, symptom expression was delayed in the WCM-resistant 6V and 6VS lines after exposure to viruliferous WCM. The 6V and 6VS lines differed in their ability to control WSMV infection. WCM-susceptible lines RW15 and Pm33 had no effect on controlling the infection by WSMV. Lines GN21 and GN22 were the most effective of the three H. villosa sources in limiting the spread of WSMV. Their high yield potential and protein content, in combination with resistance to stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) and powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis f. sp. tritici), make GN21 and GN22 promising sources of WCM resistance.

Wheat streak mosaic is a destructive disease of wheat caused by wheat streak mosaic virus. Wheat streak mosaic virus is vectored by the wheat curl mite (Eriophyes tulipae Keifer). A single dominant gene conditioning resistance to colonization by the mite vector was transferred from Aegilops squarrosa L. to a synthetic amphiploid (AC PGR 16635) and then to common wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) through backcrossing. Because of its origin, the transferred gene was probably located in the D genome. Monosomics 1D through 7D were crossed with a homozygous resistant line with the pedigree Norstar*4/AC PGR 16635. Both 41- and 42-chromosome F1 plants were identified and selfed to obtain F2 seed. The observed proportion of resistant and susceptible plants in 6 of the 7 F2 families from monosomics, and in all 7 of the F2s from disomics, did not deviate significantly from a 3:1 ratio. However, the proportion of resistant plants from the F2 of monosomic 6D was significantly (p < 0.01) in excess of this ratio and susceptible plants from this family were nullisomic for all or part of 6D. In crosses with standard ditelosomic stocks, telocentrics from a ditelosomic derivative of susceptible individual of this F2 paired with 6D(L) but failed to pair with 6D(S). The F2 of heterozygous resistant plants that were monotelodisomic for the long arm of 6D(L) segregated approximately 19 resistant to 1 susceptible, while those from monotelodisomics for the short arm segregated normally (3 resistant to 1 susceptible, p = 0.27). These data show that the gene Cmcl for mite resistance is located on the short arm of chromosome 6D. Key words: Aegilops squarrosa, wheat streak mosaic virus.

Partial Amphiploids

Thinopyrum intermedium (2n = 6x = 42, JJJsJsSS) is potentially a useful source of resistance to wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) and its vector, the wheat curl mite (WCM). Five partial amphiploids, namely Zhong 1, Zhong 2, Zhong 3, Zhong 4, and Zhong 5, derived from Triticum aestivum × Thinopyrum intermedium crosses produced in China, were screened for WSMV and WCM resistance. Zhong 1 and Zhong 2 had high levels of resistance to WSMV and WCM. The other three partial amphiploids, Zhong 3, 4, and 5, were resistant to WSMV, but were susceptible to WCM. Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) using a genomic DNA probe from Pseudoroegneria strigosa (SS, 2n = 14) demonstrated that two partial amphiploids, Zhong 1 and Zhong 2, have almost the identical 10 Th. intermedium chromosomes, including four Js, four J, and two S genome chromosomes. Both of them carry two pairs of J and a pair of Js genome chromosomes and two different translocations that were not observed in the other three Zhong lines. The partial amphiploids Zhong 3, 4, and 5 have another type of basic genomic composition, which is similar to a reconstituted alien genome consisting of four S and four Js genome chromosomes of Th. intermedium (Zhong 5 has two Js chromosomes plus two Js–W translocations) with six translocated chromosomes between S and Js or J genomes. All three lines carry a specific S–S–Js translocated chromosome, which might confer resistance to barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV-PAV). The present study identified a specific Js2 chromosome present in all five of the Zhong lines, confirming that a Js chromosome carries WSMV resistance. Resistance to WCM may be linked with J or Js chromosomes. The discovery of high levels of resistance to both WSMV and WCM in Zhong 1 and Zhong 2 offers a useful source of resistance to both the virus and its vector for wheat breeding programs.Key words: GISH, genomic composition, J, Js and S genomes, Thinopyrum intermedium, partial amphiploid, WSMV, WCM resistance.

The wheat curl mite (Eriophyes tulipae Keifer) is the vector of wheat streak mosaic virus, a damaging disease of winter wheat. A translocation between a common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) chromosome and a group 6 chromosome (6Ag) from decaploid Agropyron elongatum (Host) Beauv. resulted in transfer of resistance to colonization by the wheat curl mite. Transmission of resistance through the pollen and the egg were similar and not significantly different from 50%. The frequency of resistance in the F2 generation (65.6%) was lower than expected for a single, dominant gene. In the F2, 26.7% of the resistant plants were homozygous for resistance. Selfed progeny from monosomic and disomic F1 plants from crosses between the translocation line and monosomics for 6A and 6B segregated with frequencies similar to normal F2 progeny but the progeny of monosomics for 6D were primarily resistant (93.2%). Crosses between the translocation line and chromosome 6D telocentrics and studies of four enzymes that are encoded by genes on the group 6 homoeologous chromosomes showed that the translocated chromosome consists of the q arm of chromosome 6D of 'Rescue' and the p arm of chromosome 6 of A. elongatum. Because the new stock was derived from a double monosomic, the translocation was probably a Robertsonian fusion of misdivided centromeres. The resistance is being backcrossed into winter wheat.Key words: Agropyron elongatum, Thinopyron, Elytrigia, Lophopyrum, Robertsonian translocation, isozyme structural genes, wheat curl mite.

Wheat Curl Mite

The wheat curl mite (WCM, Aceria tosichella, Keifer) is an eriophyid mite species complex that causes damage to cereal crops in the Northern Great Plains by feeding damage and through the transmission of plant viruses, such as wheat streak mosaic virus. Insecticide treatments were evaluated in the greenhouse and field for efficacy at managing the WCM complex on wheat. Treatments tested were carbamates, organophosphates, pyrethroids, a neonicotinoid seed treatment, mite growth inhibitors, and Organic Materials Review Institute–approved biocontrols, soaps, and oils. Treatment with carbamates, organophosphates, and pyrethroids decreased WCM in greenhouse trials compared with untreated controls 14 days after infestation. The seed treatment, mite growth inhibitors, and organic pesticides did not reduce WCM populations effectively and consistently. The timing of application was tested using a sulfur solution as the experimental treatment. Treating plants with sulfur seven days after mite infestation reduced mites compared with the untreated control. In contrast, prophylactically applied sulfur and sulfur applied 14 days after mite infestation were not effective. When tested under field conditions with plots infested with viruliferous mites, there was no yield difference detected between untreated control plots and plots sprayed with insecticides. Select carbamates, organophosphates, and pyrethroids have a potential for use in greenhouse mite management when appropriate.
