  • Monocyclic Components for Evaluating Disease Resistance to Cercospora Arachidicola and Cercosporidium Personatum in Peanut
    Monocyclic Components for Evaluating Disease Resistance to Cercospora arachidicola and Cercosporidium personatum in Peanut by Limin Gong A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 6, 2016 Keywords: monocyclic components, disease resistance Copyright 2016 by Limin Gong Approved by Kira L. Bowen, Chair, Professor of Entomology and Plant Pathology Charles Y. Chen, Associate Professor of Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences John F. Murphy, Professor of Entomology and Plant Pathology Jeffrey J. Coleman, Assisstant Professor of Entomology and Plant Pathology ABSTRACT Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an economically important crop that is produced in the United States and throughout the world. However, there are two major fungal pathogens of cultivated peanuts, and they each contribute to substantial yield losses of 50% or greater. The pathogens of these diseases are Cercospora arachidicola which causes early leaf spot (ELS), and Cercosporidium personatum which causes late leaf spot (LLS). While fungicide treatments are fairly effective for leaf spot management, disease resistance is still the best strategy. Therefore, it is important to evaluate and compare different genotypes for their disease resistance levels. The overall goal of this study was to determine resistance levels of different peanut genotypes to ELS and LLS. The peanut genotypes (Chit P7, C1001, Exp27-1516, Flavor Runner 458, PI 268868, and GA-12Y) used in this study include two genetically modified lines (Chit P7 and C1001) that over-expresses a chitinase gene. This overall goal was addressed with three specific objectives: 1) determine suitable conditions for pathogen culture and spore production in vitro; 2) determine suitable conditions for establishing infection in the greenhouse; 3) compare ELS and LLS disease reactions of young plants to those of older plants.

  • CHARACTERIZING PEANUT RUST RESISTANCE: DETERMINING ITS MECHANISMS, and the GENETICS of the PEANUT HOST and PUCCINIA ARACHIDIS By
    CHARACTERIZING PEANUT RUST RESISTANCE: DETERMINING ITS MECHANISMS, AND THE GENETICS OF THE PEANUT HOST AND PUCCINIA ARACHIDIS by IMANA LEGISAH POWER (Under the Direction of Albert K. Culbreath) ABSTRACT Peanut rust, caused by Puccinia arachidis Speg., is an important foliar disease of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in tropical countries. Host resistance is the best option for disease management in these countries. Field, green house and growth chamber experiments were conducted to evaluate the response of peanut breeding lines with Bolivian genetic background, parents of mapping populations and peanut cultivars used in Georgia, U.S. to peanut rust. In field studies conducted over 2010-2013, several breeding lines developed in the UF150 project of the Peanut Collaborative Research and Support Program (Peanut CRSP) as part of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) demonstrated varying levels of rust resistance, and a select few were resistant to late leaf spot, caused by Cercosporidium personatum, as well. The greenhouse and growth chamber assays revealed that infection frequency and percent diseased area can be used as indicators for field resistance, as genotypes with longer latent periods typically had low infection frequency at 7 days after inoculation and smaller percent diseased areas. Newly developed CRSP breeding lines, plant introductions and commonly grown cultivars, were molecularly characterized using polymorphic SSR markers. These markers used detected polymorphisms but were not able to distinguish resistant from susceptible peanut genotypes. None of the 22 private bands generated for the resistant population were absolute and no marker alleles could be exclusively linked to all resistant or all susceptible genotypes.

A single species of rust fungi may produce up to five morphologically and cytologically distinct spore-producing structures thereby attracting the interest of mycologist for centuries. In India, the research on rust fungi started with the arrival of foreign visiting scientists or emigrant experts, mainly from Britain who collected fungi and sent specimens to European laboratories for identification. Later on, a number of mycologists from India and abroad studied Indian rust fungi and contributed a lot to knowledge of the rusts to the Indian Mycobiota.

Received: 13-03-2018 Accepted: 30-07-2018 DOI: 10.18805/LR-416 ABSTRACT Sustainable groundnut production can be realised through development and adoption of high yielding cultivars possessing durable rust resistance. Integrating conventional breeding with genomic tools in identifying candidate rust resistance genes, and introgressing the genes into adapted elite germplasm, with the aid of molecular makers, could enhance breeding for rust resistance. This review highlights breeding approaches for groundnut rust resistance, with emphasis on integrating conventional breeding with marker-assisted selection. The life cycle, symptoms and epidemiology of the pathogen are also discussed to understand the host-pathogen interaction and guide groundnut rust resistance breeding. Key words: Epidemiology, Groundnut rust, Host resistance, Marker-assisted selection, Puccinia arachidis.

It enumerates 68 species of which 57 are new reports for the department and French Guiana forms the easternmost part of the Guianan 3, Aecidium plukenetiae, Puccinia kourouensis and P. region in northern South America. With the exception of parianicola, are new to science. Dicheirinia guianensis and some low mountain ranges and a few inselbergs reaching an Hapalophragmium angylocalycis are excluded from the altitude of little more than 800 m, the landscape is flat or French Guianan mycobiota. New host plants are reported for undulating lowland clad in different types of evergreen Batistopsora crucis-filii, B. pistila, Cerotelium ficicola, broadleaf rainforest (de Granville 2002; ter Steege et al.

However, diseases have impeded groundnut cultivation in groundnut-growing regions. Of them, groundnut rust disease caused by Puccinia arachidis is one among the major diseases causing more than 50% economic yield losses. For decades, chemical pesticide application has been the most effective option for controlling groundnut in Tanzania rust disease. However, hazards associated with excessive usage of chemical pesticides and development of pathogen- resistance against pesticides has prompted intensive research on disease management alternatives that are effective and eco-friendly to the environment. Thus, this review will focus on groundnut rust disease etiology, epidemiology and expounds various management options with much emphasis on the potential of the selected pesticidal plant species (Azadirachta indica, Jatropha curcas, Parthenium hysterophorus and Moringa oleifera) in combatting the disease. * Corresponding Author: Magreth Francis [email protected] 524 Francis et al.
