R. Rivoal et al., PARTIAL RESISTANCE TO HETERODERA-AVENAE IN WHEAT LINES WITH THE 6M(V)CHROMOSOME FROM AEGILOPS-VENTRICOSA, Journal of nematology, 25(2), 1993, pp. 265-269
Lines of wheat with the 6M(v) chromosome from Aegilops ventricosa disp
lay partial resistance to both pathotypes Ha12 and Ha41 of Heterodera
avenae. With either pathotype, the effect of this alien chromosome on
cyst production, size, and fecundity was expressed in resistance tests
. Partial resistance of five 6M(v)(6D) substitution lines varied accor
ding to the intrinsic cyst-forming capacity of the nematode pathotypes
and the recipient germplasms. Such partial resistance can be utilized
in wheat breeding lines for integrated management of the cereal cyst
nematode.
