Very little information is available on neck blast resistance in Italian rice varieties under field conditions. In order to provide these data, 105 cultivars were tested very favourable conditions for the disease development; cultivars' response a single treatment of tricyclazole was also evaluated. Among varieties, 15 % showed disease, 17 moderate resistance, 30 susceptibility and 38 susceptibility. Generally, recently developed more tolerant blast, compared oldest ones. Furthermore, with...
Efficient germplasm exploitation in crop breeding requires comprehensive knowledge of the available genetic diversity. Linking molecular data to phenotypic expression is fundamental for profitable utilisation resources. Italian rice an invaluable source genes, being characterised by marked heterogeneity. A characterisation presented this paper, with a focus on evolutionary trends, and comparison studies. panel 351 varieties was analysed using seven key morphological traits, employing...
Abstract A panel of 48 Italian rice varieties recently included in the Common Catalogue Agricultural Species was evaluated for susceptibility to blast ( Magnaporthe oryzae B. Couch) open field conditions. Trials were performed under highly favourable conditions pathogen, and visual assessments focused on severity incidence panicle symptoms. Only 8% newly released classified as resistant, whereas 40% susceptible. Our results confirmed that a fungicide treatment with tricyclazole reduces...
