E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. The genetic control of rust resistance was studied using the Caiapônia x IAC-100 and Luziânia x Potenza crosses. The F2 and F3 generations were evaluated. Rust severity was quantified through visual assessment of the middle third of three leaflets per plant and performed by three different evaluators; the average score was calculated foreach individual plant. From these data, we estimated the mean and variance of the genetic components by employing the weighted least squares method. The estimated number of genes and broad- and narrow-sense heritabilities were also obtained. It was concluded that rust resistance is a characteristic controlled by 2 to 23 genes that are predominantly dominant. The estimate of narrow-sense heritability was greater than 70% for the Caiapônia x IAC-100 cross, and the wide-sense heritability was greater than 60% for the Luziânia x Potenza cross; thus, it is possible to successfully select resistant individuals in early generations.

Estudos sobre o controle genético da resistência à ferrugem asiática foram a conduzidos a partir dos cruzamentos Caiapônia x IAC 100 e Luziânia x Potenza. Foram avaliadas as gerações F2 e F3. A severidade da ferrugem asiática foi obtida pela estimativa visual de 3 folíolos do terço médio/planta. A partir desses dados foram estimados os componentes genéticos de média e de variância, empregando-se o método dos quadrados mínimos ponderados. Foram obtidas também a estimativa do número de genes e da herdabilidade no sentido amplo e restrito. Concluiu-se que o controle genético da resistência à Phakopsora pachyrhizi governado por 2 a 23 genes, com predominância dos efeitos dominantes no controle. A estimativa da herdabilidade no sentido restrito acima de 70% para o cruzamento Caiapônia x IAC 100 e amplo acima de 60% para o cruzamento Luziânia x Potenza, mostrou que há possibilidade de sucesso na seleção de indivíduos resistentes já nas gerações iniciais.

Introduction pathogen has high genetic variability, mainly in the Brazilian savanna (YORINORI et al., 2005). Thus, The Asian soybean rust (ASR) caused by the the identification of resistant cultivars is necessary. fungal pathogen Phakopsora pachyrhizi was identified Genetic studies confirm the existence of additive in Brazil in 2001 and quickly infected soybeans in genetic effects for ASR (PIEROZZI et al., 2008; several countries in South America. ASR is RIBEIRO et al., 2007). Quantitative studies of the responsible for severe economic losses because of its genes that express resistance to ASR genotypes are high damage potential and its constant presence in needed to support the development of effective almost all soybean-producing areas recently longer-lasting resistance in new cultivars. However, (HARTMAN et al., 2005). in Brazil, because of the recent re-emergence of the Brazilian breeding programs have not yet pathogen, there are few studies concerning the developed resistant cultivars, and therefore, inheritance of resistance to soybean rust chemical control is still used to reduce the losses (AKAMATSU et al., 2004; PIEROZZI et al., 2008; caused by ASR. Currently, the primary form of RIBEIRO et al., 2007). control is based on the use of fungicides of different Genetic models were fitted to these data to classes and action modes (MILES et al., 2007). This obtain estimates of the additive, dominance, is partially because the fungus has several races with epistatic, and environmental components. The fits multiple virulence alleles (SINCLAIR; enabled predictions of the cross potential to HARTMAN, 1999), which suggests that the ASR generate inbred lines with greater resistance to ASR Acta Scientiarum.
