Globally, the foliar phase of anthracnose is one of the most destructive diseases of sorghum. In most cases, anthracnose resistance screening relies on the use of a spore suspension. This method is usually conducted after sundown and when there is the possibility of dew formation the following morning. Using a spore suspension for sorghum anthracnose field evaluation in College Station, Texas over five years (1996, 1997, 1999-2001) yielded inconsistent linkage results and failed to identify any closely linked molecular markers. For large scale screening of sorghum germplasm for anthracnose (Colletotrichum sublineolum) resistance, plants are inoculated in the field or in the green house at either 30 d after planting or at the 8-10 leaf-stage. In field inoculation, the use of C. sublineolum-colonized sorghum grains was shown to be the most efficient and effective in identifying resistant sources. For effective, efficient, fast and accurate infection, approximately 10-20 seeds are placed in each plant leaf whorl and it takes about 16.7 kg of colonized grains to cover a 0.4 ha area. In the greenhouse, though colonized grains are equally effective, spray inoculation is preferred for easy and uniform coverage. Using this method of inoculum preparation, spore suspension was extracted and sprayed (106 conidia·ml-1), followed by 10 hr/d misting for 30 sec at 30-45 min interval continuously for a period of one month resulted in effective infection.

Sorghum anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum sublineolum, is widely distributed in most grain sorghum-producing areas in Arkansas, and localized epidemics continue to occur across the state. The objectives of this research were to determine the number of pathotypes of C. sublineolum in Arkansas and to determine where these pathotypes are located within the state. Ninety-eight isolates were collected from research stations and production fields located in the Delta region of Arkansas from 2003 through 2005 and were tested for virulence to eight differential grain sorghum breeding lines. Of these, 11 isolates produced conflicting and unreliable results and were excluded from further analysis. Among the remaining 87 isolates, 13 pathotypes were identified. Eleven of these pathotypes were previously unreported, with 53% of the isolates consisting of pathotype 9. Pathotype 9 was distinguished from all other pathotypes by its virulence to all eight differential lines. Pathotype diversity appeared to be more closely associated with the year than with the locations where isolates were collected. Although all host differential lines were susceptible to at least 50% of the isolates evaluated, inbred lines SC326-6, TAM428, and TX2536 were susceptible to more than 90% of the 87 isolates evaluated. These results showed that the C. sublineolum populations in Arkansas are diverse based on the comparisons of pathogenicity to previously published host differentials, and it appears that these field populations varied from year to year.

Different Levels

Sorghum anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum sublineolum, is found in most grain-sorghum-producing areas, including Arkansas. Yield losses can be severe in susceptible sorghum hybrids, suggesting that host resistance will continue to be critical for maintaining high yields. However, genetic control is often unsuccessful because of haplotype and pathotype variability within the C. sublineolum population. The objective of this research was to assess the levels of resistance of selected grain sorghum hybrids to isolates of the recently described pathotypes of C. sublineolum found in Arkansas. Field experiments were conducted in 2005 and 2006 to evaluate the reaction of 10 sorghum hybrids to eight C. sublineolum pathotypes by collecting anthracnose severity ratings at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after inoculation. Based on these disease severity ratings, the area under the disease progress curve was calculated for each pathotype by hybrid interaction. These data showed that different levels of resistance are available in the current grain sorghum hybrids to different pathotypes. Cargill 888Y was resistant to all pathotypes in both years. However, Asgrow A571, DEKALB DKS53-11, FFR 318, and Pioneer 84G62 were moderately susceptible to susceptible to all pathotypes tested in both years. Pathotype 9 caused the most disease on 7 of the 10 hybrids evaluated in 2005 but, in 2006, pathotypes 12 and 13 surpassed pathotype 9 for disease severity on 9 of the 10 hybrids. More work is needed to assess host resistance and the effect of sorghum anthracnose on yield parameters of grain sorghum hybrids planted in Arkansas.
