Resistance is conditioned by single dominant genes in all four cultivars. The gene in PI 438970 demonstrated duplicate dominant epistasis with $Rbs\\sb1$ and $Rbs\\sb2$ indicating a third distinct gene designated $Rbs\\sb3$.","The third research phase objectives were to develop an efficient evaluation method for BSR resistance and determine the influence of pathogen isolate on cultivar reactions from two in vitro assay methods. One in vitro method utilized P. gregata phytotoxins to differentiate excised cotyledon reactions in a callus inducing medium containing 50% crude fungal culture filtrate. Ratings on degree of green color retained and level of callus initiation were compared to uninoculated broth control treatments. In the second in vitro method, callus pieces were placed on growth media with 17% culture filtrate. Among the ten cultivars by three isolate treatments--80, 100 and 90% of the BSR reaction classifications according to the cotyledon method corresponded to the greenhouse assay classifications. The callus piece method had a 73% average correspondence. Physiologic specialization was demonstrated in parallel in vitro assays.","Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-16T19:03:48Z (GMT).
