  • The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) is an internationally funded, nonprofit scientific research and training organization. Headquartered in Mexico, the Center is engaged in a worldwide research program for maize, wheat, and triticale, with emphasis on food production in developing countries. It is one of 13 nonprofit international agricultural research and training centers supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), which is sponsored by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the Uruted Nations, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank), and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The CGIAR consists of a combination of 40 donor countries, international and regional organizations, and private foundations.

    CIMMYT receives core support through the CGIAR from a number of sources, including the international aid agencies of Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Federal Republic of Germany, Finland, France, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, the Philippines, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the USA, and from the European Economic Commission, Ford Foundation, Inter-American Development Bank, OPEC Fund for International Development, UNDP, and World Bank. CIMMYT also receives non-CGIAR extra-core support from Belgium, the International Development Research Centre, the Rockefeller Foundation, and many of the core donors listed above.

    Responsibility for this publication rests solely with CIMMYT.

    Acknowledgments: Data in this summary report were collected as part oft.he Wheat Disease Surveillance Project, whlch was funded by the Directorate of Private Organizations (DPO), Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The Netherlands.

  • SUMMARY REPORT OF THE REGIONAL DISEASE TRAP NURSERY (RDTN) FOR BREAD WHEAT,

    DURUM WHEAT, BARLEY, AND TRITICALE-198081

    J.M. Prescott, H.C. Young, Jr., E.E. Saari, and M. van den Berg

    Introduction

    This report covers the 1980-81 crop season and follows the pattern established in previous years. The former International Yellow Rust Nursery, European Leaf Rust Nursery, and Egyptian Trap Nursery are combined into this Regional Disease Trap Nursery. The objective of the nursery is to assist in strengthening national cereal improvement programs in their capacity to evaluate disease presence, recognize shifts in disease significance and in pathogen variability or races, and estimate crop losses. The purposes of the nursery, then, are:

    1. To monitor disease development A. To establish the potential for epidemic development B. To establish epidemic frequency for specific areas C. To develop a sound basis for cultivar or resistance gene

    deployment recommendations 2. To determine the virulence spectra (races) of various pathogens

    A. To measure the current spectra of, and/or changes in, virulence or virulence combinations (races)

    B. To locate new sources of resistance genes, or combinations of genes

    C. To assist in the establishment of an adequate level of resistance in the cultivar improvement program

    D. To help diversify the sources ofresistance or combinations of resistance

    3. To assist in studies related to epidemics and disease development A. To study the sources of inoculum and its spread in given areas

    in the region covered by these nurseries B. To study the weather and other factors related to disease

    development C. To study the heritability ofresistance in the host and

    virulence in the pathogen D. To study the relationship between disease incidence and

    severity and crop losses

    The region covered by the Regional Disease Trap Nurseries includes the countries of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, East and South Asia. Russia, Oceania, and the Americas are not included in the RDTN region. Data from Mexico and Ecuador, when available, are included only in Table 1.

    Nursery Entries

    The nursery in 1980-81 was made up of a single set. This set had 150 entries and consisted of commercial local, improved, or dwarf cul ti vars of bread wheat, durum wheat and barley that are grown widely in the region covered by the report. "Check" cultivars for various diseases, differential, experimental, and new lines or cultivars of bread wheat, durum wheat, barley, and triticale also were included. The susceptible "check" cultivars are used for

    1

  • measuring the extent of disease development in t.he area or region; t.he "local" cultivars are used for measuring improvement in levels of disease resistance over time; the "improved" cul ti vars are used for measuring the st.ability of local sources of resistance; the "dwarf' cultivars are used for measuring the stability of resistance of CIMMYT gennplasm; and the "differential" cultivars are for measuring the spectra of virulence of the various pathogens in the area and the distribution of combinations of virulence (races) over the region. There were 107 bread wheats, 23 durum wheats, 18 barleys, and 2 tritica)es in the nursery in 1980-81. Those entries. were as follows:

    the end of the season. Henderson--Cold in June and July and only started getting warm toward the end of August.

    For summary purposes the region covered hy the report. has been divided into six geographical zones. Later, when more information has been made available perhaps epidemiological zones may be established. Each area or country has been assigned a "Count.ry Number" in order to be able to manage the raw data and data summaries. Portugal and Spain are grouped into the dassification "Iberian Peninsula"; the c0tmtries on the Arabian Peninsula are grouped into the dassification "Arabian Peninsula"; India is divided into four separate geographical areas.

    DAtn for rtu'lt. were re

  • accurate. It is for thiB reason t.hAt readings below 5 percent are usually made as eit.her "t" for trace, or "2" for 2 perc.-ent. Bet.wP.en 5 and 20 percent readings are made with 5 percent intervals. Above 20 percent the readings are made with 10 percent intervals.

    Response refers to the most commonly observed infection type and is recorded for leaf rust and stem rust acco1ding to the following scale:

    Symbol Description

    0 No visible infection on plants.

    R Resistant; visible chlorosis or necrosis, no uredia are

    present.

    MR Moderately resistant; small uredia are present and

    surrounded by either chlorotic or necrotic areas.

    M Intermediate; variable sized uredia are present, some

    with chlorosis, necrosis or both.

    MS Moderately susceptible; medium sized uredia are present,

    possibly surrounded by chlorotic areas.

    S Susceptible; large uredia are present, generally with

    little or no chlorosis or necrosis.

    VR and VS These readings have occasionally been used to

    indicate supposedly high levels of resistance or

    susceptibility. Usually, however, it is not possible

    to consistently distinguish between R and VR or s and VS. Therefore, the readings of VR and. VS are of little

    value and should not be used in connection with this

    nursery.

    Not.e that t.he mesothetic response code is not listed. Mesothetic, or "X", response was established for seedling infection types to identify specific host and pathogen gene combinations and is not useful in the field. Sometimes the response code "M" is used for mixed infection types in the field. This code, used in this context, does not provide useful information and is difficult to use in the interpretation of the data. It is much more useful to use the "range of variability" designation described below.

    Somf'times there iR obvious variahility within a rultivar. ThiR varinhility may he of two types; clear cut separation of the plants in t.he cul ti var int.o two or more groups with distinctly different reactions, and a mixed or range of reaction within the cultivar without distinct groups. When either of these types of variability occur, the most useful readings are made as follows:

    Distinct Groups--Read t.he reaction of each group and rC>cord both react.ions with a coma between them, with the predominant group first. For example - "5R, 408".

    Mixf'd or Range of React.ions-- Read the extremes of reaction and record with a dash between them, for example: "15R - 58".

    * The Index Value was devised for work with seedlings. The Code Symbol should be used for a field response code.

    Regardless of whether the leaf-stem rust or the stripe rust response codes are used. readings of severity and response are recorded together with severity given first. For example:

    tR trace of severity of a resistant type of response

    SMR 5 percent severity of a moderately resistant response

    60S - 60 percent severity of a susceptible response

    40HM - 40 percent severity of a high moderate response (Stripe

    rust).

    Data for Septoria alrm may be recorded in two ways; on a 0 to 9 scale (Foliar Index), or with a severity reading of the percent of the plant infected. The 0 to 9 scale used is that published by Saari and Prescott (Saari, E.E. and .J.M, Prescott. 1975. A Scale for Appraising the Foliar Intensity of Wheat Diseases. Pl. Dis. Reptr. 59:377-380) given below:

    Number Description

    0 - Free from infection

    OE - Free from infection but proba.bly represents an escape

    1 - Very resistant: Few isolated lesions on the lowest moat

    leaves only

    2 - Resistant: Scattered lesions on the second set of leaves

    with th first leaves infected at a light intensity

    3 - Moderately resistant: Light infection of lower third of

    plant, lowest most leaves infected at a moderate level

    4 - Low intermediate: Moderate infection to severe infection of

    lower leaves with scattered to light infection extending to

    the leaf immediately below the mid-point of the plant

    5 - Intermediate: Severe infection of lower leaves. Moderate to

    light infection extending to the mid-point of the plant

    with upper leaf free. Infections do not extend beyond

    mid-point of plant

    6 - High intermediate: severe infection of the lower third of

    plant, moderate degree on middle leaves and scattered

    lesions beyond the mid-point of the plant

    7 - Moderately susceptible: Lesions severe on lower and middle

    leaves with infections extending to the leaf below the flag

    leaf, or with trace infections on the flag leaf

    8 - Susceptible: Lesions severe on the lower and middle leaves.

    Moderate to severe infection of upper third of plant. Flag

    leaf infected in amounts more than a trace.

    9 - Very susceptible: Severe infection on all leaves and the

    spike infected to some degree. Spike infections are scored

    as modified scale (1 to 9) or as percentage of the total

    area covered. The spike infection score is separated from

    the foliar score by a"/".

    N - Used to indicate no scoring possible due to necrosis as a

    result of other diseases or factors.

    Additional descriptors for t.he foliar index may include a severity reading by using a second digit haRed upon a scale where 1 = 10%, 2 = 20%, etc. When a severity reading is made in this way, that reading should follow the foliar index reading. For example, a foliar index of "9 8/2" wouJd mean a very susceptible entry on the 0 to 9 scale, a severity of 80% based on leaf area, and 20% of the spike area covered by disease.

    Data for 0U1er diReases Rnch as powdery mildew, Helminth!'lporium leaf blight and Rhynchosporium scald are 1ecorded using the same foliar index as described for use with Septo1;a.

    Readings sometimes may be difficult to make due to low levels of disease dev

  • Also, sometimes one disease will obscure t.he symptoms of nnot.her. For example, ifstripe n1st kills the lenves before lt>afmst. can develop, t.hen the reading for leaf rust for thnt cultivar would be the letter "N". If, for any other reason, the data for a cultivar can not be recorded (for example, if the cultivar did not survive) the space for the reading for that cultivar should be left blank.

    Description of Additional Terms

    When the data for the rusts were summarized, a coefficient of infection was calculated for each entry at each location. This was done by multiplying the severity reading by a constant value for the field response. Those constant values are:

    Field reponae Symbols Constant Value

    Reaiatant VR, R 0.2

    Moderately Reiatant MR, LM 0.4

    Intermediate M 0.6

    Moderately Susceptible HM, MS 0.8

    Suceptible s, vs 1.0

    Thmt, the coefficient of infection for a cultivar that. had a field reading of 5MR would he 2.0, and for a cul ti var that had a field reading of 208 the coefficient of infection would be 20.0. Average coefficients of infection have been obtained by adding the coefficients concerned and dividing by the number of coefficients involved. For example, the average coefficient of infection for a country was obtained by adding the coefficients of all entries at all of the locations in that country and dividing by the total number of coefficients used to make t.he average.

    For the leaf diseases ot.her than the nu:its, a foliar index was nsed instead of a coefficient of infection. An average foliar index was obtained by adding the foliar indices concerned and dividing by the number of indices involved.

    Since a "check" cultivar is not necessarily a check for all oft.he diseases meai:mred in t.he RDTN, and since the relative resistance of some cultivars in the nursery may vary from one location to another and from one year to another, t.he "Average Coefficifmt. of lnfoction" (A.C.I.) or the "Average Foliar Index" (A.F.l.l may not ndequately estimate the level of disease development to which the nursery at a given location was exposed as compared t.n nnother location or another year. Therefore, as a i:mpplemental index of t.he disease development level, a t.ype of "abst.ract." check was calculnt.ed hy oht.aining an average of the coefficients of infection or foliar indices of the five cultivars with the highest coefficient or index for any given location, country, or Zone. This "exposure index" (E.I.) may give a more adequate measure of the effect of weather on disease development.

    The breadth, or t.he spectrum, of virulence is discussed in terms of the percent of the entries in the nursery on which high infection types were reported. For instance, if the spectra of virulence is said to be wide, then over 50 percent of the entries in the nursery were reported to have had high infection types.

    ll

  • ('nltivani may~ considered to he "resi1:itant" t.o disease in t.his re~rt. if their average coefficients of infection or average foliar indices are low. For example, a cultivar may have had an average coefficient of infection of 2.0 and be considered to be "resistant", even though that coefficient was calculated from a single reading of "28" (a low incidence of a high infection type). However, in the discussions of differential cultivar performance an ':R" following the average coefficient of infection means that, in spite of the level of the coefficient, there were no high infection types reported.
