Rendimento de grãos de trigo e sua relação com as doenças e variáveis climáticas em Capão Bonito de 1994 a 2001 Wheat grain yield and the relationship with diseases and climatic variations in Capão Bonito, in the period 1994 to 2001

A influência do ambiente no rendimento de grãos de genótipos de trigo e sua relação com as doenças causadas pelos fungos causadores da ferrugem-da-folha e das manchas foliares e suas relações com as variáveis climáticas foram avaliadas no período de 1994-2001, no município de Capão Bonito (SP), latitude 24º02' S, longitude 48º 22' W e altitude 702 m. A interação genótipos x anos foi altamente significativa revelando que diferenças climáticas anuais tiveram influência direta no rendimento de grãos. Em 1998, o rendimento médio de grãos foi o melhor do período e em 1994, o pior. Os genótipos IAPAR 60, IAC 60, IAC 120 e BR 18 apresentaram maior rendimento de grãos na média dos anos considerados. IAPAR 60 mostrou instabilidade no rendimento de grãos no período. Os genótipos Anahuac, IAC 120, IAC 356, IAC 342 e IAC 373 foram imunes às raças prevalentes do fungo causador da ferrugem-da-folha. Como as manchas foliares foram favorecidas pelas condições climáticas, sua ocorrência foi generalizada no período. As precipitações pluviais de maio foram as que melhor se correlacionaram com o desenvolvimento dessa doença.<br>The environmental influence on grain yield and its relationship with leaf rust and leaf spots diseases was evaluated in the period 1994-2001, in Capão Bonito, State of São Paulo, Brazil, 24º02' S, 48º 22' W e altitude, 702 m. The genotype x year interaction was highly significant indicating that annual climatic differences have directly affected the grain yield. The averages of grain yield were the highest in 1998 and the lowest in 1994. The genotypes IAPAR 60, IAC 60, IAC 120 and BR 18 showed high grain yield means. IAPAR 60 did not present grain yield stability. The genotypes Anahuac, IAC 120, IAC 356, IAC 342 and IAC 373 are immune to the prevalent races of the fungus causing leaf rust. As the climatic conditions were favorable to the development leaf spot, its occurrence was generalized. Rainfall in May showed the best correlation with the occurrence of leaf spots

Preliminary assessment of resistance among U.S. wheat cultivars to the Triticum pathotype of Magnaporthe oryzae

Plant Disease, 96, 1501-1505. https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-11-11-0944-REMagnaporthe oryzae is the causal agent of blast disease on several graminaceous plants. The M. oryzae population causing wheat blast has not been officially reported outside South America. Wheat production in the United States is at risk to this pathogen if it is introduced and established. Proactive testing of U.S. wheat cultivars for their reaction to blast and identification of resistance resources is crucial due to the national and global importance of the U.S. wheat industry. In this preliminary study, the phenotypic reaction of 85 U.S. wheat cultivars to M. oryzae (Triticum pathotype) was determined. Although there was a significant correlation in the reaction to blast at the seedling and adult plant stages, only 57% of the head reaction was explained by the seedling reaction. Because of the importance of disease development at the head stage in the field, assessment of all 85 cultivars occurred at the head stage. Among cultivars tested, a continuum in severity to head blast was observed; cultivars Everest and Karl 92 were highly susceptible with more than 90% disease severity, while cultivars Postrock, JackPot, Overley, Jagalene, Jagger, and Santa Fe showed less than 3% infection. No evidence of the presence of physiological races among isolates T-7, T-12, T-22, and T-25 was found
