IV BIOGRAPHY The author, Daniel Ketsela Tiruneh, was born on March 1992 at Gorfo villege in Hageremariam Kesem Woreda, North Shoa zone, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia from his father, Ketsela Tiruneh and his mother, Ayelech Ymane. He attended his Elementary School education at Gorfo Elementary School and Junior High School education at Bulga Secondary School. He pursued his preparatory school education at Hailemariam Mamo Preparatory School in Debrebirhan town. After that, he was joined Debrebirhan University, College of Natural and Computational Science for his Under Graduate Studies in Applied Biology from October 2010 to 2013. Then, he graduated with BSc Degree in applied Biology on 30 June 2013. After graduation, he has been joined Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR), Ambo Agricultural Research Center (AmARC) in the department of Agricultural and Nutritional Research Program as a junior researcher. After three years service at Agricultural and Nutritional Research Program he reassigned in Plant pathology program, Virology research department where he served for one year until he joined the graduate studies program of Ambo University, College of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, Department of Plant Sciences to pursue a graduate study leading to a Master of Science degree in plant pathology. V ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my Almighty God for His endowment of Grace, Peace, strength and Health to my life and family. I would like to acknowledge my supervisor Dr.Berhanu Bekele, Senior Researcher of Plant Pathology, for his patience, exceptional guidance and support during the study period. With the deepest gratitude, I wish to thank him for his support in providing reagents like primer, professional expertise and advice from the very planning of this work to its execution and critical review of the manuscript and made it scientifically sound. Without his enlightening guidance and consistent support, I would not have been able to overcome the obstacles I encountered. My heartful thanks go to Dr. Alemu Lencho, Associate Professor of Plant Pathology, My thesis Co-advisor, for his patience and thoughtful guidance throughout my study. With the deepest gratitude, I wish to thank him for his support, professional expertise and advice from the very planning of this work to its execution and critical review of the manuscript and made it scientifically sound. Professor Darren Martin and Oyeniran Kehinde, Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of Cape Town, South African, highly acknowledged for their support in running rolling circle amplification (RCA) and sequencing of dozens of MSV isolates from Ethiopia. I would like to extend my gratitude to the Head Department of Plant Sciences, School of Graduate Studies, Ambo University for well-organized and nice facilitations provided during my course work. My deepest gratitude goes to Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR), Ambo Agricultural Research Center (AmARC) for allowing me MSc study leave and provisions of full financial and material support for this research work. Last, but not least, I am also very grateful to my family and friends for their love, prayers and unwavering support.

  • Diseases-Of-Maize
    MAIZE DISEASES Presented by Dr. S. Parthasarathy, Assistant Professor Department of Plant Pathology Downy mildew -Peronosclerospora sorghi (Sclerophthora macrospora ) Crazy top The most characteristic symptom is the proliferation of leafy structures from the ears and/or tassels, In many cases, leafy protrusions occur in only the ears resulting in a mass of strap-like leaves protruding from the ear zone. Affected plants may also have profuse tiller development. Management Seed treatment with Metalaxyl fungicide metalaxyl @ 6.0 g/kg (or) Apron 35 WP @ 2.5 g/kg Rogue out infected plants at early stage. Spray with Metalaxyl 1g/lit or Metalaxyl + Mancozeb @ 2.5 g/lit. Philippine downy mildew - Peronosclerospora philippinensis Java downy mildew – Peronosclerospora maydis Sorghum Downy mildew - Peronosclerospora sorghi Sugarcane Downy mildew – Peronosclerospora sacchari Brown stripe downy mildew- Scleropthora rayssiae var. zeae Symptoms Lesions start developing on lower leaves as narrow chlorosis or yellow stripes,3-7 mm wide, with well defined margin and are delimited by the veins. The stripes later become reddish to purple. Lateral development of lesions causes sever striping and blotching. Seed development may be suppressed, plant may die prematurely if blotching occurs prior to flowering. Sporangia on the leaves appear as a downy whitish to wooly growth on both surface of the lesions. Floral or vegetative parts are not malformed, and the leaves do not shred. Management Resistant varieties -Prabhat, Kohinoor, ICI-703, PAC-9401, PMZ-2, SEEDTEC-2331. Seed treatment with Acylalanine fungicide metalaxyl @ 6.0 g/kg. Rogue out infected plants at early stage. Control - Apron 35 WP, @ 2.5 g/kg as seed treatment.

  • Studies on Sweet Corn: Stewart’S Wilt Forecasting, the Effect of Maize Dwarf Mosaic on Foliar Diseases, and Herbicide Sensitivity
    STUDIES ON SWEET CORN: STEWART’S WILT FORECASTING, THE EFFECT OF MAIZE DWARF MOSAIC ON FOLIAR DISEASES, AND HERBICIDE SENSITIVITY BY MICHAEL DEVIN MEYER THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Crop Sciences in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Jerald K. Pataky ABSTRACT Diseases and sensitivity to P450-metabolized herbicides can limit the production of high quality sweet corn. Separate studies were done to determine the probability of exceeding 1% and 5% incidence of Stewart’s wilt on sweet corn with different reactions to Pantoea stewartii, the effect of maize dwarf mosaic (MDM) on eight foliar diseases, and the effect of hybrid CYP genotype on sweet corn yield following postemergence applications of mesotrione or nicosulfuron. Stewart’s disease can be forecasted using the Stevens, Stevens-Boewe, or Iowa State forecasts. These forecasts assume a high degree of host susceptibility. Host resistance affects the incidence and severity of disease, and therefore can affect the accuracy forecasts of Stewart’s disease. Levels of host resistance affected the incidence of systemic seedling wilt within ranges of winter temperatures used by each of the forecasts. Frequency distributions of Stewart’s wilt incidence on moderate and resistant hybrids did not differ among the three temperature ranges above -2.8ºC (27ºF). Conversely, distributions of Stewart’s wilt incidence on susceptible hybrids differed among each of the four ranges of winter temperature from the Stevens-Boewe forecast (i.e., >0.6ºC, -1.1º to 0.6ºC, -2.8º to -1.1ºC, and <-2.8ºC).

  • The Effect of Potyvirus Resistance on Maize Lethal Necrosis (Mln)
    THE EFFECT OF POTYVIRUS RESISTANCE ON MAIZE LETHAL NECROSIS (MLN) THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By VICTORIA BIKOGWA BULEGEYA Graduate Program in Horticulture and Crop Science The Ohio State University 2016 Master's Examination Committee: Professor DAVID M. FRANCIS “Advisor” Professor MARGARET G. REDINBAUGH “Co-advisor” Professor PETER R. THOMISON Copyrighted by VICTORIA BIKOGWA BULEGEYA 2016 Abstract Maize lethal necrosis (MLN) is a viral disease of corn (Zea mays L.) currently affecting farmers in East and Central Africa. MLN is caused by a combined infection of Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) and any potyvirus. In East Africa, MLN was reported to be caused by a combined infection of MCMV and Sugarcane Mosaic virus (SCMV). Most of African maize germplasm is susceptible to the disease and there are no known sources of resistance. Resistance to MCMV has not been well studied but tolerant germplasm has been reported in the US. Resistance to the potyvirus pathogens of maize is well studied and sources of resistance are known and published. This study utilize available potyvirus resistance sources to control MLN and to link potyvirus resistance to white maize endosperm color which is preferred by consumers in Sub Saharan Africa. Lines with different QTL for potyvirus resistance were screened against MLN using artificial inoculation and natural infestation. Genotypes used for the study were Recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from Oh1VI, a line known for multi-virus resistance, and Oh28 which is a susceptible parent. Genotypes, with QTL for potyvirus resistance on chromosome 3, 6 and 10 alone and in combination were selected and screened against MLN.
