Wheat breeding for resistance to Septoria nodorum blotch in Croatia
1996
Koric, B. (Institute for Plant Protection in Agriculture and Forestry, Zagreb (Croatia))
Laboratory studies on the fungus Leptosphaeria nodorum Muller at the Institute for Plant Protection in Agriculture and Forestry, Zagreb, Croatia, have been aimed at selecting the best isolates for inoculum production to be used in artificial infection, based on individual morphology, physiology and virulence. Inoculum was produced on sterilized wheat (Triticum aestivum L. subsp. aestivum) kernels. Artificial infection was performed on seedlings in the greenhouse, and on adult plants in the field. The purpose of the investigation was to test domestic and foreign wheat for resistance to local isolates of this fungus, placing particular emphasis on the reaction of known sources of resistance
