The development of resistance in winter-wheat seedlings to the cottony snow mold pathogen, Coprinus psychromorbidus Redhead et Traquair, was studied under controlled-environment conditions. Resistance was measured by the percentage of inoculated plants surviving after incubation at −3 °C for 8–12 weeks. The number of weeks of prehardening growth prior to inoculation, fresh weight, LT50, and tiller number were positively correlated with resistance to C. psychromorbidus. Prehardening temperatures of 7 and 15 °C favored development of snow mold resistance compared with 2 °C, but the LT50 (50% killing temperature) values of uninoculated plants were not significantly different. After 1 and 2.5 weeks growth at 20 °C, plants hardened at 2 °C and 12-h day length gradually increased in resistance to snow mold from 1 to 15 weeks of hardening. Development of resistance to C. psychromorbidus in winter wheat was most influenced by the amount of prehardening growth, and the development of freezing resistance played a minor role in disease resistance development. This form of resistance, which develops with increasing plant age, appeared to reduce the rate of infection and disease development by C. psychromorbidus.

Mold Resistance

Resistance to snow molds in winter wheat increases with plant age, and older plants express higher levels of resistance than young plants. Experiments were conducted to study the effect of plant age on percent crown water content (%CWC) and dry weights in fall rye and winter wheat cultivars grown under controlled environments and in the field at Lethbridge, AB. Under controlled environments, the oldest (6 wk of pre-hardening growth at 20°C) treatments accumulated the greatest dry weights following exposure of plants to 1 to 6 wk hardening conditions at 2°C, compared with younger (1 to 4 wk pre-hardening growth) treatments. Exposure of plants to hardening temperatures had the greatest effect on %CWC values, which decreased, gradually, from 82–89% (4.95–8.67 g H2O g–1 DW) in unhardened treatments to 67–72% (2.05–2.65 g H2O g–1 DW) in plants receiving the 6 wk pre-hardening and 6 wk hardening growth. However, the oldest treatments (4 to 6 wk pre-hardening growth) always exhibited the lowest %CWC values among all hardening treatments. The %CWC in the oldest (6 wk) unhardened plants was also lower ([Formula: see text] = 80.8% or 4.24 g H2O g–1 DW) than in the youngest (1wk) unhardened plants ([Formula: see text] = 91.2% or 11.31 g H2O g–1 DW ), demonstrating that water loss occurs in older plants in the absence of low hardening temperatures. In a field study at Lethbridge during the autumn, winter, and early spring of 1997–1998 and 1998–1999, different seeding dates were employed to obtain plants differing in age and developmental state. The %CWC in early-seeded treatments was lower during the autumn, and remained lower in early spring, compared with later seeded cultivars. The %CWC in crowns was negatively associated with the snow mold resistance rating of a fall rye and five winter wheat cultivars under controlled environment conditions, and among a fall rye and 13 winter wheat cultivars in the field; the highest correlation values in the field were observed from mid-November to mid-March during 1997–1998 (r = –0.84), and 1998–1999 (r = – 0.76). These results indicate that the type of snow mold resistance that increases with plant age is related to the accumulation of crown dry matter and the ability of wheat and rye plants to lose crown water in response to both extended growth at warm temperatures and hardening at low, above freezing temperatures.

Mold Resistance

The relationship between snow mold resistance and freezing resistance was studied under controlled-environment conditions, using winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell) cultivars varying in freezing resistance and resistance to cottony snow mold (Coprinus psychromorbidus Redhead & Traquair). Cultivars varying in freezing resistance were equally susceptible to C. psychromorbidus. There existed a negative relationship between snow mold resistance and freezing resistance. Sublethal, subzero freezing temperatures between −3 and −12 °C predisposed the winter wheat cultivar 'Winalta' to increased damage by C. psychromorbidus. A synergistic effect resulting in increased mortality was observed when winter wheat plants received a combination of low-temperature stress and inoculation with C. psychromorbidus. In hardened winter wheat plants, sublethal levels of snow mold damage following 6 weeks incubation with C. psychromorbidus resulted in a reduction in freezing resistance or LT50 (50% killing temperature) of approximately 7 °C compared with the noninoculated controls. The possible role of low-temperature stress on the susceptibility of winter wheats to C. psychromorbidus and of snow mold infection on the retention of freezing resistance in winter wheats during winter in the central and northern Canadian prairies is discussed.

Mold Resistance

A screening test was developed to determine the level of resistance of winter wheat to cottony snow mold (Coprinus psychromorbidus) under controlled conditions. The best separation in disease reaction among cultivars occurred following prehardening growth for 1 wk at 20 °C, hardening at 2 °C for 3 wk, and inoculation and incubation with the cottony snow mold pathogen at −3 °C for 9 wk. Percent survival was determined following a 3-wk recovery in the greenhouse. Extending prehardening growth to 6 wk increased the overall level of survival, but reduced the ability of the screening test to differentiate among cultivars. In general, there was a decrease in the percent survival in the 3-wk prehardening growth treatment compared with the 1- and 6-wk treatments. Percent survival and the ability to differentiate among cultivars decreased with increasing length of incubation with the cottony snow mold pathogen at −3 °C. The snow mold resistance and LT50 temperatures of 24 winter wheat cultivars, Kodiak fall rye and winter triticale were determined. Winter wheat cultivars CI14106, PI186822, Sprague, M81-8661, Münstertaler, and PI172582 exhibited high percentage survival following inoculation with cottony snow mold, but all cultivars exhibited low levels of freezing resistance except Münstertaler, which exhibited an intermediate level of freezing resistance.
