They can also be prone to diseases such as
crown rust.
Due to a combination of
crown rust resistance and winter hardiness, this line will be suitable for growth in south, central and northeast Texas, as well as adjacent states with similar adaptation requirements.
Staff at Aberystwyth University's Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences (Ibers) will help develop oat varieties with improved resistance to the diseases of
crown rust and mildew.
We will not use that variety of seed again which has been affected by the fatal disease like fungus and
crown rust. We are also taught about modern sowing and irrigation methods.
Brown-Guedira's genotyping lab will then use the assays to quickly inform breeders which offspring plants inherited an intended trait--say, for
crown rust resistance.
Does partial resistance exert selection on oat
crown rust populations?
CROWN rust resistance should be a key consideration for farmers when selecting grass varieties for this autumn's reseeding, advises British Seed Houses.
It says a combination of warm temperatures and heavy dews have produced the perfect conditions for
crown rust, a fungal disease.
CROWN RUST is one of the most widespread and destructive diseases of cultivated oat.
Crown rust is the most damaging fungal disease of oats in the world, wiping out entire fields and causing epidemics that can reduce yields up to 40 percent.
