Development of oat germplasm with resistance to powdery mildew and barley-yellow dwarf virus
Project
Project code: JKI-ZL-08-3118
Contract period: 01.01.2008
- 31.12.2017
Purpose of research: Applied research
To develop germplasm with new resistances to powdery mildew and barley yellow-dwarf virus, genebank accessions are being screened and known resistances will be introgressed into Avena sativa cultivars by appropriate crossing programmes. In addition, resistances will be analyzed genetically. The project is focussed on the screening of genebank accessions for resistances, the introgression of resistance genes to A. sativa cultivars and analyses of the inheritance.
From the breeders point of view the resistances derived from A. macrostachya, A. pilosa and A. occidentalis are most valuable because of their stability against different powdery mildew races. Some high-yielding and resistant lines have been developed. The inheritance of most of the resistances has been clarified.
