Potential of wild Solanum stramonifolium accesses as rootstock resistant to soilborne pathogens in tomato crops
<div><p>ABSTRACT Resistant rootstocks is one of the most effective method to control soilborne pathogens in tomato crops. Thus, this study was installed to evaluate the reaction of Solanum stramonifolium accesses to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) races 2 and 3 and to Meloidogyne enterolobii (Me). The seedlings were grown in trays and inoculated separately with Fol races 2 and 3 at 50 days after planting by immersing the roots in the spore suspension (1×106 microconidia mL-1). Then, seedlings were transplanted in pots containing sterilized soil and kept in greenhouse conditions. To study the reaction of S. stramonifolium accesses to nematodes, we used 27-day old seedlings that were also planted in pots and inoculated with 6,000 eggs and second-stage juveniles in greenhouse conditions. The experiments were evaluated in the 34th day (Fol) and in the 64th day (Me) after inoculation. The experiment consisted of a randomized block design with five replications, where each plot consisted of one pot with three plants (Fol) and one pot with one plant (Me). We observed that the plants used as controls, susceptible to Fol races 2 and 3 and Me, presented 100% of incidence. All accesses were resistant to Fol race 2 and the accesses CNPH-19, CNPH-22, CNPH-23, CNPH-25, CNPH-120, CNPH-122 and CNPH-349 presented multiple resistance to pathogens, indicating great potential for using as resistant rootstock. The CNPH-24, CNPH-119, CNPH-121 and CNPH-336 accesses also presented resistance to nematode. However, they presented slight browning symptoms of vascular tissues when they were inoculated with Fol race 3. This symptom was also observed in the CNPH-21, CNPH-107 and CNPH-117 accesses. All other accesses were resistance to Fol race 3 and susceptible to Me.</p></div
Selection of potato clones for tuber yield, vine maturity and frying quality
<div><p>ABSTRACT Development of Brazilian potato cultivars adapted to different growing conditions, production systems and regions of the country is very important to increase the competitiveness of the national potato chain. In this sense, the objective of this work was to verify the performance of advanced potato clones for tuber yield traits, vine maturity and frying quality. An experiment was carried out in Pelotas-RS in spring, 2014. A set of nine advanced potato clones and two control cultivars were evaluated using a randomized complete block design with four replicates. Plots consisted of single rows of 20 plants spaced at 0.80 m between rows and 0.30 m between plants. The data of each trait were submitted to the deviance analysis, estimated the genetic values and selected the best genotypes using selection indices of the sum of ranks and the lowest distance from the ideotype. Clones F131-08-26 and F183-08-01, and the check ‘Asterix’ were distinguished for yield of marketable tubers. F183-08-01 and the control stood out for specific gravity and average tuber weight. Clone F161-07-02 ranked among the best for specific gravity, frying color and vine maturity. F97-07-04 and F183-08-01 and the check ‘Asterix’ were the best according to the selection indices, however, would result in losses in the frying color and vine maturity traits.</p></div
Reaction of squash and butternut squash genotypes to Phytophthora capsici
<p></p><p>ABSTRACT Phytophthora capsici causes significant losses in squash (Cucurbita moschata) and butternut squash (Cucurbita maxima), including root and crown rot, leaf blight and fruit rot, which can result in up to 100% loss in production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the reaction of squash and butternut squash genotypes to P. capsici. Initially an experiment was conducted to evaluate the aggressiveness of isolates of P. capsici from different regions. Later two experiments were carried out in a greenhouse with 16 genotypes of C. moschata and seven of C. maxima in different years, using the most aggressive isolates, PCA 40 and PCA 43 identified as the most aggressive in a preliminary test. As control we used the hybrid cultivar Jabras and the pepper cultivar Cascadura Ikeda (susceptibility patterns to the pathogen). The genotypes were sown in pots of four liters containing autoclaved soil. Fourteen days later, plants were inoculated by depositing 3.0 mL of the suspension of 2.0x104 zoospores/mL in the soil, near to plant stem. The disease incidence was evaluated 8 days after inoculation. The experiments were conducted in a randomized block design with five replicates of four plants. The genotypes showed different levels of disease resistance, TX 10350, PHYT-043, CNPH-3001-1 and MAM-2523-1 stood out because they showed greater degree of resistance to P. capsici in both trials. However, none of the genotypes showed complete resistance. The results indicate the promising use of these genotypes to obtain resistant lines, aiming to obtain hybrid cultivars resistant to Phytophthora root rot.</p><p></p
Characterization of lettuce genotypes for resistance to root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.)
Seleção para resistência de genótipos de cenoura aos nematóides-das-galhas Selection for carrot genotypes resistance to root-knot nematodes in field and greenhouse
Foi verificada a relação entre caracteres avaliados em campo e casa-de-vegetação, relativos à avaliação de genótipos de cenoura quanto à resistência ao nematóide-das-galhas (Meloidogyne spp.), visando identificar quais caracteres possibilitam a diferenciação entre os genótipos e verificar a possibilidade de avaliação apenas em um ambiente ou a eliminação de caracteres que apresentem correlação alta. Avaliaram-se 38 progênies da população '0812518' e 31 progênies da população '0812519', além das cultivares Brasília e Kuronan como testemunhas tolerante e suscetível, respectivamente. Em campo naturalmente infestado por uma mistura de Meloidogyne incognita raça 1 e Meloidoigyne javanica, a seleção para resistência ao nematóide-das-galhas foi realizada com base na menor porcentagem de infecção na raiz principal dos genótipos de cenoura, rendimento de raiz e o fator de reprodução, enquanto que em casa-de-vegetação, para cada uma das mesmas espécies de nematóides e também para a mistura de ambas, foi medido o índice de galhas e índice de massa de ovos. Verificou-se que não houve possibilidade de seleção em apenas um dos ambientes testados ou a eliminação de caracteres, indicando que para a obtenção de cultivares mais produtivas e mais tolerantes é necessária a seleção combinada nos diferentes caracteres e ambientes. Para o experimento realizado em campo foi possível diferenciar os genótipos apenas para o rendimento de raiz. No experimento em casa-de-vegetação, para todos os caracteres foi possível identificar genótipos superiores. Porém, as médias das populações não foram melhores que a testemunha 'Brasília' da qual estas se originaram, confirmando a necessidade da busca por métodos mais eficientes de seleção.<br>We verified the relation among the evaluated characters in field and greenhouse, concerning to the evaluation to root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) for the carrot crop, to identify for which ones it is possible to differentiate among genotypes and to verify the possibility of evaluation only in one environment or the elimination of characters with high correlation. Thirty eight and thirty one families from the carrot populations '0812518' and '0812519', and the cultivars Brasília and Kuronan as tolerant and susceptible standards, respectively, were evaluated. In a field whose soil was naturally infected by a mix of Meloidogyne incognita race 1 and Meloidogyne javanica, the selection to resistance to root-knot nematode was based on lower percentage of infection in the root, of the major genotypes of carrot production in t/ha and reproduction factor; and in greenhouse, to each one of the same nematode species and too for a mix of both, was evaluated the index of gall and index of egg mass. There is no possibility of selection in only one condition or the elimination of some characters, indicating that, to obtain more yielding and more tolerant cultivars, the combined selection in the various characters and environments are necessary. In the field experiment, it was only possible to differentiate the genotypes for root yield. In the greenhouse, it was possible to identify superior genotypes for all characters tested. However, the average population was not better than the 'Brasilia' standard that originated these populations. This result confirms the necessity to search for more efficient methods of selection
