2011-2012WHEAT BLASTFIELD TRIALS IN BOLIVIA COMPLETED
Over eighty 1xbet online games login cultivars werecharacterized for disease phenotype atthe BiosecurityResearchInstitute at Kansas State University.Twenty-five cultivars that represented the array of phenotypes from very resistant to very susceptible were shipped to collaborators in Bolivia under permit of SENESAG, the Bolivian phytosanitary organization. The 1xbet online games login seedwere vernalized at ANAPO and then transplanted toa field test site in Quirusillas. Christian Cruz (Ph.D. student) and Jim Stackspent one week inBolivia (March 4-11) evaluating the 1xbet online games login cultivars for disease incidence and severity. Diseased 1xbet online games login tissues were collected from the test plots for isolation of the pathogen.
In addition,a survey of potential alternate hosts was undertaken. Weedy plants in and adjacent to 1xbet online games login fields were collected, bagged, and shipped to the biocont
ainment lab in Maryland for isolation of the pathogen.IfMagnaporthe oryzaeis isolated from these other plant species,single sporeisolates will be inoculated onto 1xbet online games login plants to determine pathogenicity. If these otherM. oryzaeisolates are pathogenic to 1xbet online games login , then a genetic analysis will be performed to determine ifthey arethe Triticum pathoype. If positive, then a more detailed survey of alternate host distribution will be undertaken to support epidemiological studies.
