Where is Aberdeen? University of Idaho Research and Extension Center, Aberdeen, ID
Background • Previously the program targeted the Intermountain West– objective was high yield and quality • Currently a need to make Aberdeen material more widely useful by incorporating disease resistance
Objectives • Characterize crown rust resistance within Aberdeen cultivars and breeding lines: • Field reactions in “hot spot” locations (Castroville, TX; Baton Rouge, LA) • Seedling resistance to many isolates (CDL) • Field reactions to single isolates (isolated plots in Aberdeen, ID) • Assess partial resistance of selected materials in greenhouse inoculations with compatible isolates
Check cultivars • CDC Boyer • IA98822-2
Leaf segment inoculation technique: Provena 99Ab11862 95Ab11439 99Ab11813 99Ab12179
Conclusions • Most of the Aberdeen cultivars and lines are highly susceptible to crown rust • A few lines showed less disease in field trials • specific resistance to some isolates • partial resistance to compatible isolates in the greenhouse, thus field response probably due to partial resistance
