European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is a diploid with 11 pairs of chromosomes (2n = 2x = 22), monoecious, dichogamous and wind-pollinated. Eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by Anisogramma anomala is a serious disease of European hazelnut (Corylus avellana) in North America, and infection leads to cankers that girdle branches...
The European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is a diploid (2n = 2x = 22) tree crop important to the economy of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where 99% of hazelnut production in the United States is located. Corylus avellana exhibits sporophytic self-incompatibility (SSI), controlled by a single S-locus with at least 33...
European Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is an important crop in the Pacific Northwest where around 5% of the world's hazelnuts are produced. Hazelnut production in the Pacific Northwest is threatened by eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the pyrenomycete Anisogramma anomala. Host resistance is a useful strategy to control disease,...
European hazelnut is a significant crop in the Pacific Northwest, and the US ranks
4th internationally for hazelnut production. Production in the Pacific Northwest is
threatened, however, by the disease eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the fungus
Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. To meet the challenges faced by the...
Eastern filbert blight, caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Muller,
is a serious threat to hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) production. Resistant
cultivars offer the best control. Screening systems were needed to reliably
identify disease, particularly in immune progeny derived from 'Gasaway'. An
indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) was developed using...
Anthesis of both staminate and pistillate flowers of Corylus occurs in midwinter. To insure adequate pollination and nut set, these flowers must attain a sufficient hardiness level to withstand low temperatures. This study estimated cold hardiness of Corylus cultivars and species using laboratory freezing of shoots without artificial hardening. In...
Inheritance of eight enzyme systems, alanine aminopeptidase (AAP), aspartate
aminotransferase (AAT), aconitase (ACON), glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI),
malate dehydrogenase (MDH), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGD),
phosphoglucomutase (PGM), and shikimate dehydrogenase (SDH) was studied in
hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) by either polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
(PAGE) or starch gel electrophoresis. Three isozymes were detected...
To identify novel host genetic resistance to eastern filbert blight, caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Muller, ninety European hazelnut {Corylus avellana L.) varieties and interspecific hybrids (with C. americana Marsh, or C. colurna L.) were screened for response to the eastern filbert blight pathogen after inoculation in...
Using bulked segregant analysis, five RAPD markers were identified that were
linked in coupling to a gene conferring complete resistance to eastern filbert blight caused
by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Muller in hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.). Two
modified backcross populations were inoculated and scored for resistance to the pathogen
and...
Heritability in the narrow sense and in the broad sense, variance components and
correlation coefficients are important genetic parameters in a breeding program. The
estimates of these parameters can provide important information for a breeder in the
selection of parents, the most efficient design for evaluation of seedlings and advanced...
