HURO/0901/1472.2.2Szeged-Timisoara axisfor the safe food and feedSZETISA1 MacroelementsintheRomanianwheatgenotypes. Effects of Fusariuminfectiononmacroelementconcentrationsinmaizegenotypes Erdei László, Vashegyi Ágnes, Pető Andrea Department of PlantBiology University of Szeged 3rd Progress Report Meeting Timisoara, 26-27 January, 2012 DisclaimerThe content of this page does not necessarily represent the official position of the European Union.
MacroelementsintheRomanianwheatgenotypes Sampleswerecollectedfrom 13 localitiesin Timis and Arad counties: Manastur – TM Sanandrei – TM Faget - TM Pietroasa - TM Lovrin – TM Aldesti – TM DudestiiVechi – TM Horea - AR Siria – AR Recas – AR Semlac – AR Paulis – AR Barzava – AR Ripenearswereseparatedintograins and chaff. K, Ca and Mg weredeterminedinbothpartsbyatomicabsortionspectrophotometer (Hitachi Z-8200)
Conclusions Potassiumconcentrationsweresimilarinthegrain, inBarzava and Fagetslightlyhigher. Ingarain and chaff K levelsnearequal, butinsomecasesingrainit is higherorlower. Calciumconcentrationsare 2 to 3-fold higherinchaffthaningrains. Ingrains, no fluctuationwasobserved. Magnesiumconcentrationsare 2-fold higheringrainscomparedtotoseinthechaff. The highest Mg concentrationsingrainswerefountatBarzavaand Aldesti. It is notknownwhetherthedifferencesaretheconsequences of thegentypeortheagricultural site.
Macroelementconcentrations inFusarium-infectedmaizegenotypes Fromfieldexperiments of Prof. Mesterházy Ákos, Cereal Research Nonprofit Ltd. Maizegenotypes ZeamaysL. cv. Sarolta – Fusariumresistant Zeamays L. cv. Boglár – more sensitive Fusariuminoculates Fusariumgraminearum (Fg), F. culmorum (Fc), F. verticillioides (Fv) Infection: 8-10 daysafterflowering, withmycelia, usingtoothpick Experimental design: 3 rowsin3siteswithrepetitiverows of control and the 3 Fusariumstrains. Fromeachrow 3 ears (withhusks) and theleavesbeneathwerecollected.
Effects of Fusariuminfectionon K concentrationinmaizekernels(fromthemiddle part of thecob). Comparison of twosamplingdates and 3 Fusarium species (Fg, Fc, Fv) in 2 maizegenotypes. Mean +- S.D., n = 9.
Effects of FusariuminfectiononCaconcentrationinmaizekernels(fromthemiddle part of thecob). Comparison of twosamplingdates and 3 Fusarium species (Fg, Fc, Fv) in 2 maizegenotypes. Mean+- S.D., n= 9.
Effects of Fusariuminfectionon Mg concentrationinmaizekernels(fromthemiddle part of thecob). Comparison of twosamplingdates and 3 Fusarium species (Fg, Fc, Fv) in 2 maizegenotypes. Mean+- S.D., n= 9.
Conclusions Elementconcentrations (K, Ca, Mg) werehigherintheinfectedkernelscomparedtothecontrol. Increaseinelementconcentrationswasproportionaltothetimepassedafterinoculation. Fist samlingdatewas 8-10 daysafterinculation, thesecondone 3 weakslater, atharvest. Bythattimetheinfectionwasmaximal and thekernelsshrivelled. Intensity of infectiondependedontheFusarium species. Most agressivewasF. graminearum, followedbyF. culmorum and F. verticillioides.
