Resistance of pepper germplasm to Phytophthora capsici isolates collected in northwest Spain
نویسندگان
چکیده
One single pathotype (race 0) was identified among eight tested isolates of Phytophthora capsici (Leonian) collected in northwest Spain, after inoculation tests using pepper cultivars of different origin, including the well known reference resistant cultivar Serrano Criollo de Morelos 334. Complete resistance to P. capsici was not found after the inoculation of 23 local genotypes of Capsicum annuum with three different isolates of this oomycete, collected in northwest Spain. However significant differences in virulence were found for the three P. capsici isolates inoculated into the local pepper germplasm, using disease data based on results of genotype-isolate interactions. Virulence test as well as breeding methods for resistance to the pathogen are also discussed. Additional key words: Blight, Capsicum annuum, pathogenic variation, races.

Survival and spread of Phytophthora capsici in Coastal Peru.
Phytophthora capsici is a soilborne pathogen that causes significant losses to pepper production in Peru. Our objective was to investigate the mechanisms by which P. capsici is able to survive and spread. During 2005 to 2007, 227 isolates of P. capsici were collected from four species of pepper (Capsicum annum, C. baccatum, C. chinense, and C. pubescens) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) at 33 ...

Phytophthora capsici is a soilborne oomycete plant pathogen that limits pepper production worldwide. The population structure varies significantly depending on the location (e.g. Peru vs. USA) and little is known about the diversity of P. capsici in Argentina. Our objective was to assess the diversity of P. capsici in Argentina at key pepper production areas. Forty isolates were recovered 2006-...

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is an important solanaceous crop with high phenotypic diversity and moderate genotypic diversity. Ninety-nine genotypes of eggplant germplasm (species (S. melongena, S. incanum, S. linnaeanum and S. gilo), landraces and heirloom cultivars) from 32 countries and five continents were evaluated for genetic diversity, population structure, fruit shape, and disease re...
متن کاملResistance to the Novel Fungicide Pyrimorph in Phytophthora capsici: Risk Assessment and Detection of Point Mutations in CesA3 That Confer Resistance
Pyrimorph is a novel fungicide with high activity against the plant pathogen Phytophthora capsici. We investigated the risk that P. capsici can develop resistance to pyrimorph. The baseline sensitivities of 226 P. capsici isolates, tested by mycelial growth inhibition, showed a unimodal distribution with a mean EC(50) value of 1.4261 (± 0.4002) µg/ml. Twelve pyrimorph-resistant mutants were obt...
متن کاملCharacteristic of the Pepper CaRGA2 Gene in Defense Responses against Phytophthora capsici Leonian
The most significant threat to pepper production worldwide is the Phytophthora blight, which is caused by the oomycete pathogen, Phytophthora capsici Leonian. In an effort to help control this disease, we isolated and characterized a P. capsici resistance gene, CaRGA2, from a high resistant pepper (C. annuum CM334) and analyzed its function by the method of real-time PCR and virus-induced gene ...
