Reaction of Czech pea varieties to races of Pseudomonas syringae pv. pisi
Plant Protection Science 34 (4), 126-130
Abstract: The reaction to seven races of Pseudomonas syringae pv. pisi (Psp) of the Czech variety Komet and three new varieties of field pea (Pisum sativurn L.) was tested under glasshouse conditions. Plants were inoculated separately by each of the races, and the intensity of disease symptoms was evaluated. The variety Komet and the new variety SG-L- 1 were relatively more resistant to all races than the other varieties, The symptoms on these two relatively resistant varieties developed slowly, mainly around the inoculum points on the stems, and only exceptionally did plants die. On the other hand the new varieties SG-L-7 and SG-L-38 showed high susceptibility to all seven races. The new variety SG-L-1 appeared to be the most resistant of all the tested varieties; it was only moderately susceptible to race 1, though highly susceptible to race 7. In the tested interactions, particularly race 7 and also 1 seemed to be relatively much more virulent than the other races.
