Fire blight resistance of pear genotypes from different European countries

Several old cultivars, and breeding clones of European pear Pyrus communis L. originating from Belgium, England, Sweden, and Switzerland were evaluated for their resistance/susceptibility to fire blight. Studies were carried out during three consecutive years 2007–2009 in the greenhouse of Warsaw University of Life Sciences, Poland. Strain 691 of Erwinia amylovora was used for artificial infection of plants. Genotypes included in this study considerably varied in their resistance to fire blight. The most resistant was the old English cultivar ‘Hessle’. The other two genotypes, i.e., ‘Gr?nna R?dp?ron’ originating from Sweden, and Pyrus communis FG 1606 from Switzerland were included in a group of low susceptible ones. The most susceptible were Cra Py H 18, Cra Py V 22 and Cra Py W 14 from Belgium.     

Common Bean Reaction to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Phaseoli, the Cause of Severe Vascular Wilt in Central Africa

During the September‐December season of 1990, severe symptoms of Fusarium wilt were for the first time observed on a popular climbing bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivar. G 2333. introduced within the previous 5 years. Seventy‐three bean genotypes were screened for resistance lo the disease, using artificial inoculation. The effect of inoculation density on the reaction of four selected genotypes was also investigated. Of the 29 climbing bean genotypes evaluated, 19 were resistant, including 11 of the 15 pre‐release or released cultivars. Of the 44 bush bean cultivars evaluated, 28 were resistant, five were intermediate and 11 were susceptible. All susceptible cultivars showed vascular discoloration. In both susceptible and resistant genotypes, the fungus spread almost equally from the entry points in inoculated roots to the base of the plants, but colonization and vertical spread within the vascular system were markedly less in resistant than in susceptible cultivars. At 20 and 30 cm above soil level, the fungus was only recovered from susceptible cultivars. Increasing inoculum density from 10² to 10⁷ conidia/ml did not affect the resistance of cultivars RWR 950 and G 685 but. in the susceptible cultivars G 2333 and MLB‐48‐89 A. it resulted in early appearance, high incidence and severity of the disease.     

Variation for Resistance to <i>Alternaria tenuissima</i> and Potential Structural Mechanism among Different Cultivars of <i>Chrysanthemum morifolium</i>

Black spot disease, caused by the necrotrophic fungus Alternaria tenuissima (Fr.) Wiltsh (A. tenuissima), is considered a highly destructive disease of Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.). A set of 17 accessions of commercial chrysanthemum cultivars were evaluated for resistance to A. tenuissima by seedling artificial inoculation. It was found that the reaction of the accessions to artificial inoculation ranged from resistant to highly susceptible. Five varieties of chrysanthemum (‘Zhongshan Taogui’, ‘Jinba’, ‘Zhongshan Jinguan’, ‘Jinling Wanhuang’ and ‘Jinling Yangguang’) were resistant; two varieties of chrysanthemum (‘Zhongshan Xinggui’ and ‘Zhongshan Jinkui’) were moderately resistant; and others were susceptible to various degrees, four varieties of chrysanthemum (‘Zhongshan Zihe’, ‘Zhongshan Jiuhong’, ‘Zaoyihong’ and ‘Jinling Jiaohuang’) were highly susceptible, especially. Some leaf morphological features of two resistant and two highly susceptible cultivars were further researched. Trichome density, length, height, gland size and stomata density were found to be associated with plant passive resistance. Resistant varieties that were identified in present study will be promising germplasm for exploitation of breeding programmes aimed at developing A. tenuissima-resistant cultivars and increasing genetic diversity.     

Pear scab resistance QTLs via a European pear (Pyrus communis) linkage map

Pear scab caused by Venturia pyrina is an economically important disease throughout the world and can cause severe crop loss in susceptible cultivars. The varying range of susceptibility to pear scab in F1 populations has made it possible to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Ninety-five seedlings derived from the cross ‘Abbè Fétel’ (AF) × ‘Max Red Bartlett’ (MRB) were evaluated for scab resistance in greenhouse tests, with 39% being classified as resistant, 33 as moderately susceptible and 28 as highly susceptible. Amplified fragment length polymorphisms (157) and simple sequence repeats (41) were used to construct two maps, one of 908.1 cM (AF) and the other of 879.8 cM (MRB). The analysis of the resistance data collected made it possible to identify two major QTLs on linkage groups 3 and 7 associated with resistance to V. pyrina. Both QTLs explained 88% of the phenotypic variance and the log of odds values were higher than 10, suggesting the involvement of two major genes in pear scab resistance. L. Pierantoni and L. Dondini have contributed equally to this work.     

Identifying QTLs for fire-blight resistance via a European pear (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Pyrus communis</Emphasis> L.) genetic linkage map

The existence of different levels of susceptibility to fire blight (Erwinia amylovora) in European pear (Pyrus communis L.) cultivars suggests that it is possible to identify QTLs related to resistance in pear germplasm. Given the polygenic nature of this trait, we designed two genetic maps of the parental lines 'Passe Crassane' (susceptible) and 'Harrow Sweet' (resistant) using SSRs, MFLPs, AFLPs, RGAs and AFLP-RGAs markers. RGA-related markers should theoretically map in chromosome regions coding for resistance genes. The 'Passe Crassane' map includes 155 loci, for a total length of 912 cM organised in 18 linkage groups, and the 'Harrow Sweet' map 156 loci, for a total length of 930 cM divided in 19 linkage groups; both maps have a good genome coverage when compared to the more detailed apple maps. Four putative QTLs related to fire blight resistance were identified in the map. A suite of molecular markers, including two AFLP-RGAs, capable of defining resistant and susceptible haplotypes in the analysed population was developed.     

Genomic characterization of self-incompatibility ribonucleases in the Central Asian pear germplasm and introgression of new alleles from other species of the genus Pyrus

The Pyrus species exhibit the so-called S-RNase-based gametophytic self-incompatibility system, which is considered to be the most widespread self-incompatibility system among flowering plants. In this study, 57 Iranian pear (Pyrus communis L.) domestic cultivars and wild genotypes, plus 21 European pear cultivars used as references, were genotyped adopting a PCR-based genotyping assay using consensus and allele-specific primers. The results revealed traces of significant genetic contribution in the Iranian traditional varieties and genotypes from other Pyrus species; the genetic contribution of Japanese pear clearly emerged with the detection of some Pyrus pyrifolia S-RNase alleles. Moreover, our results highlighted the presence of three new S-RNase alleles (named S₁₂₆, S₁₂₇, and S₁₂₈) that were not previously identified in P. communis, possibly introduced in the germplasm of cultivated pear through gene transfer from other cultivated or wild species.     

A new pear scab resistance gene Rvp1 from the European pear cultivar ‘Navara’ maps in a genomic region syntenic to an apple scab resistance gene cluster on linkage group 2

Scab, caused by the ascomycete fungus Venturia pirina, leads to severe damage on European pear varieties resulting in a loss of commercial value and requiring frequent use of fungicides. Identifying scab resistance genes, developing molecular markers linked to these genes and establishing marker-assisted selection would be an effective way to improve European pear breeding for scab resistance. Most of the European pear cultivars (Pyrus communis) are currently reported to be sensitive. The pear cultivar ‘Navara’ was shown to carry a major scab resistance gene whose phenotypic expression in seedling progenies was a typical stellate necrosis symptom. The resistance gene was called Rvp1, for resistance to V. pirina, and was mapped on linkage group 2 of the pear genome close to microsatellite marker CH02b10. This genomic region is known to carry a cluster of scab resistance genes in apple indicating a first functional synteny for scab resistance between apple and pear.     

Identification by suppression subtractive hybridization of genes expressed in pear (Pyrus spp.) upon infestation with Cacopsylla pyri (Homoptera: Psyllidae)

The molecular interaction between pear tree (Pyrus spp.) and the phloem-feeding psylla Cacopsylla pyri (Linnaeus) was investigated through the construction and characterization of cDNA subtracted libraries. Genes expressed upon insect infestation were identified in the susceptible pear cultivar Bartlett and in the resistant selection NY10355. In both interactions, genes involved in the plant defense response were induced, confirming the observed similarity between the response to pathogens and to insects with piercing/sucking mouthparts. However, the two expression profiles were found to be different, with more genes involved in the response to biotic and abiotic stress being activated in the resistant plant than in the susceptible one. Further characterization of the identified genes could lead to the development of molecular markers associated with tolerance/resistance to pear psylla.
