Pathogenic variation among isolates of Rhynchosporium secalis from cultivated barley growing in Central Anatolia, Turkey
Plant Pathology Journal 5 (2), 244-247
Abstract: Pathotypes of barley scald pathogen, Rhynchosporium secalis (Oudem.) J.J. Davis, were determined based on the reactions of 50 single spore isolates of the pathogen obtained from the diseased leave samples collected from 8 provinces in Central Anatolia and 2 provinces in Aegean Region on 10 differential cultivars in the controlled conditions. Forty one pathotypes were distinguished based on the susceptible reactions formed on the differentials. Thirty six pathotypes were represented by 1 isolate, 1 pathotype by 3 isolates, 1 pathotype by 4 isolates and 3 pathotypes by 2 isolates, respectively. Osiris was susceptible against only one pathotype (pathotype 41), Nigrinidum being against 2 and Steudelli against 12 pathotypes. Tokak 157/37 showed susceptible reaction against 92.7% of the pathotypes (38 pathotypes). The other cultivars showed susceptible reactions between 18 and 29 of the pathotypes. The pathotype which is pathogenic to all of the differential cultivars (pathotype 41) was represented by 2 isolates collected from Eskisehir province. The pathotype (pathotype 40) which caused susceptible reaction on 8 differential cultivars was also determined from the isolates obtained from this province and in addition to this 7 more pathotypes were determined in this province. Distribution of the pathotypes in the provinces varied according to the number of the isolates, in other words the number of the pathotypes increased parallel to the increase of the number of the isolates. The most virulent pathotypes were detected from the isolates of Eskisehir, Kayseri and Yozgat provinces.
