| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses disease resistance in ryegrass with cereal crops. Explains that "perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is one of the important forage and turf grass species in temperate climate zones worldwide...Gray leaf spot (GLS) caused by the fungal ascomycete Pyricularia oryzae Cavara [teleomorph Magnaporthe oryzae B. Couch, formerly known as M. grisea (Hebert) Barr] has become a serious problem on perennial ryegrass fairways and roughs since it was first reported on golf course fairways in Pennsylvania in 1992. The causal agent, M. grisea, also causes blast disease on rice, as well as foliar disease on many grasses, such as blast on wheat and barley." Suggests that "breeding disease resistant cultivars is one of the best disease management strategies in ceral crops, although this may take considerable time and understanding of the genetics of host resistance...Development of molecular markers tightly linked to disease resistance traits provides a means to pyramid disease resistant genes in elite cultivars. This gene-pyramiding strategy exploits genes conferring quantitative resistance as well as qualitative resistance, which is ideal for managing different races or multiple diseases and precluding rapid breakdown of resistance by pathogens, which would be more likely from a few complete-race specific genes." Mentions a quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis conducted "to determine partial resistance to four different diseases: leaf spot (B. sorokiniana), stem rust (P. graminis), gray leaf spot (M. grisea), and crown rust (P. coronata)." Concludes that "the conserved synteny of disease resistance loci will facilitate transferring genetic resources of disease resistance between ryegrass and cerals to accommodate breeding needs for developing multiple diesease resistance cultivars." |
