Resistance to soil-borne diseases of wheat: Contributions from the wheatgrasses Thinopyrum intermedium and Th. ponticum. Can. J. Plant Sci. 88: 195Á205. Eyespot, Cephalosporium stripe, and common root rot are soil-borne diseases that damage the stem bases, vascular system, subcrown internodes, and roots of wheat. Resistance in wheat to these diseases is insufficient to prevent significant yield loss when disease is severe. The wheatgrasses Thinopyrum intermedium and Th. ponticum are highly resistant to these diseases. Identification of disease- resistant wheat-Thinopyrum partial amphiploids, chromosome addition, substitution, and translocation lines makes them a valuable source of resistance genes for wheat breeding programs. Single chromosomes or chromosome segments containing resistance genes can be transferred into wheat to produce genetic stocks that afford a better understanding of the genetic control of resistance in wheatgrasses and new genetic resources for wheat improvement. Resistance to eyespot in Th. intermedium and Th. ponticum was associated with the homoeologous group 4 chromosomes, whereas resistance to Cephalosporium stripe was controlled by genes located on chromosomes 3 and 6 of Th. ponticum. Despite the fact that some eyespot- and common root rot-resistant wheat-Thinopyrum lines have blue kernels, resistance is not tightly linked to the blue aleurone trait.

The impact of these diseases reducing inoculum in the soil via cultural controls such on yield varies from year to year and ranges from minor as crop rotation and management of crop residues, and to major, depending on the climatic conditions that application of fungicides; however, these practices are favor each disease.

Rotation of winter wheat with spring porium stripe in winter wheat, and warm weather and cereals or non-host crops such as corn (Zea mays L.) drought favors common root rot in winter and spring and legumes helps reduce damage to winter wheat by wheat (Wiese 1991). Yield loss due to all three diseases is preventing inoculum build-up in soil, and summer most severe when wheat is subjected to moisture stress fallow provides a crop-free interval during which during grain fill. Resistant cultivars are generally pathogen populations in soil decrease (Diehl et al. considered to be a cost-effective method of reducing 1982; Wiese 1991). The shortage of profitable alternative yield losses caused by soil-borne diseases (Scott et al. crops in areas such as the prairie drylands makes crop 1989; Tinline et al. 1989; Jones et al. 1995).

    Plant Guide INTERMEDIATE It produces good hay yields, both in monoculture and in mixtures with alfalfa (Medicago spp.), where its WHEATGRASS stiff stems tend to keep alfalfa from lodging. Thinopyrum intermedium Intermediate wheatgrass has fairly slow re-growth (Host) Barkworth & D.R. following clipping and is best adapted to single crop- haying conditions (where rainfall patterns or limited Dewey irrigation prevents multiple cuttings in a season). Plant Symbol = THIN6 Intermediate wheatgrass responds very well to irrigation with initial production nearing the level of Contributed by: USDA NRCS Idaho Plant Materials orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata) and meadow Program brome (Bromus biebersteinii) and exceeding smooth brome (Bromus inermis) under full irrigation. Meadow brome and orchardgrass have much better regrowth characteristics and will normally produce more than intermediate wheatgrass for hay production in multiple cutting situations. Intermediate wheatgrass responds very well to limited irrigation. It is able to tolerate droughty conditions when irrigation ceases as long as about 12-14 inches or more total annual moisture is provided. It provides excellent spring, early summer, and fall pasture, but must be carefully managed to ensure maintenance of the stand and high production. Intermediate wheatgrass is palatable to all classes of livestock and wildlife. It is a preferred feed for cattle, sheep, horses, deer, antelope, and elk in spring, early summer and fall. It is considered a desirable feed for cattle, sheep, horses, and elk in summer and winter. Erosion control/reclamation: Intermediate wheatgrass is well adapted to the stabilization of disturbed soils. This grass can be used in critical and urban areas where irrigation water is limited and to stabilize ditch banks, dikes, and roadsides.

  • Genome Wide Association Study Reveals Novel QTL for Barley Yellow
    Choudhury et al. BMC Genomics (2019) 20:891 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-6249-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genome wide association study reveals novel QTL for barley yellow dwarf virus resistance in wheat Shormin Choudhury1,2, Philip Larkin3, Rugen Xu4, Matthew Hayden5,6, Kerrie Forrest6, Holger Meinke1, Hongliang Hu1, Meixue Zhou1* and Yun Fan1* Abstract Background: Barley yellow dwarf (BYD) is an important virus disease that causes significant reductions in wheat yield. For effective control of Barley yellow dwarf virus through breeding, the identification of genetic sources of resistance is key to success. In this study, 335 geographically diverse wheat accessions genotyped using an Illumina iSelect 90 K single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) bead chip array were used to identify new sources of resistance to BYD in different environments. Results: A genome-wide association study (GWAS) performed using all the generalised and mixed linkage models (GLM and MLM, respectively) identified a total of 36 significant marker-trait associations, four of which were consistently detected in the K model. These four novel quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified on chromosomes 2A, 2B, 6A and 7A and associated with markers IWA3520, IWB24938, WB69770 and IWB57703, respectively. These four QTL showed an additive effect with the average visual symptom score of the lines containing resistance alleles of all four QTL being much lower than those with less favorable alleles. Several Chinese landraces, such as H-205 (Baimazha) and H-014 (Dahongmai) which have all four favorable alleles, showed consistently higher resistance in different field trials. None of them contained the previously described Bdv2, Bdv3 or Bdv4 genes for BYD resistance.

  • 2.8 Pearson Calvin
    Developing Low-Input, High-Biomass, Perennial Cropping Systems for Advanced Biofuels in the Intermountain West Calvin H. Pearson1,*, Catherine Keske2, Ron Follett3, Ardell Halvorson3, Steve Larson4, Andrew Brandess2 Abstract Lignocellulosic biomass studies are being conducted to evaluate perennial herbaceous feedstocks and to determine their field performance and adaptation potential for biomass production in the Intermountain West. Field performance of four biomass entries and four inputs are being evaluated over a long-term testing period at three western Colorado locations. Also, a native grass field trial was planted in 2011 to evaluate new crosses of basin wildrye (Leymus cinereus) x creeping wildrye (Leymus triticoides) as potential biomass resources. The Introduced Biomass Treatment, consisting of mostly alfalfa, has consistently had the highest biomass yield at the Fruita site. In the first cutting that occurred in 2012 in the native grass species study, tall wheatgrass (Thinopyrum ponticum) and intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium) had high biomass yields. An easy-to-use crop budget enterprise tool has been developed to model the economic viability of the various plant species being evaluated. There is agronomic and economic potential to develop 200-300,000 acres of marginal land within a 50-mile radius of Rifle for the production of dedicated, herbaceous biomass. A pilot plant nearing completion at the Colorado Mountain College will convert the various perennial biomass grass species into butanol. In order to advance production, further refinement of the definition of marginal lands for bioenergy crops is needed. Keywords: biomass, grasses, native plants, herbaceous perennial crops, dedicated energy crops, lignocellulosic biomass, biomass budget generator Introduction Biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass have potential to provide public benefits including increased energy independence and security, foreign exchange savings, rural development, and job creation (Rajagopal et al., 2007).

A subtractive library was constructed using the leaves of TAI-27, which were infected by Schizaphis graminum carrying the GAV strain of BYDV, and the control at the three-leaf stage. Nine differentially expressed genes were identified from 100 randomly picked clones and sequenced. Two of the nine clones were highly homologous with known genes. Of the remaining seven cDNA clones, five clones matched with known expressed sequence tag (EST) sequences from wheat and (or) barley whereas the other two clones were un- known. Five of the nine differentially expressed sequences (WTJ9, WTJ11, WTJ15, WTJ19, and WTJ32) were highly homologous (identities >94%) with ESTs from wheat or barley challenged with pathogens. These five sequences and another one (WTJ18) were also highly homologous (identities >86%) with abiotic stress induced ESTs in wheat or bar- ley. Reverse Northern hybridization showed that seven of the nine differentially expressed cDNA sequences hybridized with cDNA of T. intermedium infected by BYDV. Three of these also hybridized with cDNA of line 3B-2 (a parent of TAI-27) infected by BYDV. The alien chromosome in TAI-27 was microdissected. The second round linker adaptor mediated PCR products of the alien chromosomal DNA were labeled with digoxygenin and used as the probe to hy- bridize with the nine differentially expressed genes.
