ORSS-1757 is a common soft white winter wheat variety developed by Oregon State University in cooperation with the USDA Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS). This publication describes its area of adaptation and agronomic characteristics.
Cephalosporium stripe, caused by the soil-borne ascomycete Cephalosporium gramineum, is becoming an increasingly important disease of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) in several areas of the world, especially where stubble mulch is practiced to maintain soil moisture and prevent erosion. As cultural control of the disease is infeasible and no fungicides...
Parental lines, Fi's and segregating populations (F₂, F₃ and BC's) including reciprocals were evaluated under field conditions to determine if genetic resistance per se exists for Septoria Leaf Blotch in a selected winter wheat cross. The experiment was conducted over a three year period with both natural infection and artificial...
Strawbreaker foot-rot is a major limiting factor to cost efficient winter wheat
production in the Pacific Northwest. Development of resistant cultivars has been
hindered by the lack of adequate levels of genetic resistance and screening techniques
which can consistently detect desired genotypes.
Studies were conducted to determine if the reported...
Influence of abiotic and biotic factors were examined in selected
winter wheats previously identified as representing a range of
responses to septoria infection. In the greenhouse two and three
inoculations identified resistance when disease severity was assessed
either for the top four leaves or the flag leaf respectively. Kernel
number...
Mycosphaerella graminicola (anamorph Septoria tritici) causes Septoria tritici blotch, a globally important disease of winter wheat. Resistance and pathogenicity generally vary quantitatively. The pathogen reproduces both sexually and asexually, and the pathogen population is highly genetically variable. Several unresolved questions about the epidemiology of this pathosystem are addressed by this...
Four isogenic lines possessing different combinations of height
reducing genes Rht₁ and Rht₂ from 'Norin 10' were crossed to a short
stature, early maturing, septoria susceptible cultivar identified as the
'Tibet Dwarf'. The isogenic lines originated from the backcross
population of 'Itana'/3/'Norin 10'/'Brevor 14'//6*'Itana'. Parents, F₁
and F₂ generations provided...
The septoria diseases of winter wheat are a limiting factor to wheat production in the Willamette Valley. This publication will describe the symptoms and development of the septoria diseases, including the influence of environmental conditions, the reactions of different cultivars to Septoria, the impact of Septoria on yield, and control...
Cephalosporium stripe (Cephalosporium gramineum) is an important disease limiting adoption of conservation tillage practices in the Pacific Northwest. The disease can cause severe loss of grain yield and quality in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Modified cultural practices can reduce disease incidence, but are not always dependable because of variation...
