BLAST DISEASE OF BLACK GLUTINOUS RICE GERMPLASMS UNDER INOCULATION AT SEEDING AND TILLERING STAGES

Jetsadakorn LUANGMANEE, Poramate BANTERNG, Anan WONGCHAROEN

Abstract

Black rice is an alternative source of blast disease resistance and appropriate screening method is necessary to be proposed. The objectives were to 1) evaluate leaf blast disease of different black glutinous rice genotypes, and 2) determine correlations between disease symptoms at seedling and tillering stages. Leaf blast disease for 25 black glutinous rice genotypes and 3 check genotypes were observed at Khon Kaen University, Thailand in 2013 and 2014. HY 71, Niawdam Gs.no.21629, Khaokam Gs.no.88084, KKU-GL-BL-05-003, KKU-GL-BL-05- 004, KKU-GL-BL-06-010 and KKU-GL-BL-06-023 were high resistant genotypes across growth stages, times of evaluation and years. Seedling and tillering stages were significantly different for severity index. Correlation coefficients between severity indices at seeding and tillering stages in 2013 and 2014 for evaluation at 7 days after inoculation (DAI) were 0.34 (p<0.01) and 0.29 (p><0.01), respectively, and for evaluation at 14 DAI were 0.40 (p><0.01) and 0.41 (p><0.01), respectively. Correlation coefficients between severity indices evaluated at 7 and 14 DAI for growth stages and years varied from 0.34 to 0.50 (p><0.01). The results suggested that screening of leaf blast disease at only seedling stage was not enough to identify resistant genotypes.><0.01) and 0.29 (p<0.01), respectively, and for evaluation at 14 DAI were 0.40 (p<0.01) and 0.41> .01) and 0.41 (p<0.01), respectively.

Effects of Different Water Stress Levels on Biomass Yield and Agronomic Traits of Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) Varieties under Semi-Arid Conditio

Erdal GONULAL, Suleyman SOYLU, Mehmet SAHIN

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in the Wielkopolska region at the Gorzyń Research Station, Poland (52.34°N, 15.54°E) in Central Europe. The study was conducted over a 3-year period (2017, 2018, 2019) as a two-factorial design with four replications in the RCBD. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the cultivar (‘Bolero’, ‘Tytan’) and the inoculation (Nitragina–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora I–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora II–soil inoculation, HiStick® Lupin–seeds inoculation) on plant development, seeds chemical composition and yielding of narrow-leaved lupin. The weather conditions and experimental factors significantly influenced on productivity of narrow-leaved lupin ‘Tytan’. Drought during the growing season reduced seeds and protein yields. After inoculation of HiStck the seeds yield was significantly greater by 12.4% (p < 0.01) and the protein yield after application of Nitroflora I or HiStick by 13.9% (p < 0.01) and 19.2% (p < 0.01), respectively. Correlation coefficients showed strong relations between number of pods and seeds per plant in both cultivars regardless of the inoculation variant, however the strongest relations in both cultivar were proved on HiStick treatment.
