Collaborative project: Development of an integrated pest management strategy to minimize yellow rust of wheat, Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici, in cereal crops - Subprojekt 2
Project
Project code: 2814706311
Contract period: 15.02.2013
- 14.02.2016
Budget: 75,520 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
Yellow rust, Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici, is one of the most important cereal pathogens. It can cause signifi-cant yield losses that can only be minimized by increased use of fungicides. Whether this has been already re-duced the effectiveness of commonly used fungicides is not yet known. The limited durability of race-specific resistances affords urgently a novel approach of integrated pest management that integrates intelligent fungicide strategies and durable resistant cultivars. For the discovery of new resistance mechanisms, which are especially effective in adult plants, biotechnological methods of modern plant breeding will be used. (1) Monitoring the German yellow rust populations with regard to the occurring virulences and pathotypes as well as their diversity and complexity. (2) Testing the sensitivity of yellow rust populations to the most common fungicides used to control wheat yellow rust. (3) Identification of race-specific resistance genes in new wheat germplasm with effective adult-plant resistance to yellow rust. (4) Selection of new, durable adult plant resistances by biotechnological methods of plant breeding (DH technique, QTL mapping).The project will develop innovative methods for the targeted use of cultivar resistance within the concept of integrated pest management and reduce the use of fungicides.
