Investigati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong> <strong>Barley</strong> Diseases and Their C<strong>on</strong>trol Brian J. Steffens<strong>on</strong> Department of Plant Pathology University of Minnesota ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT Executive Summary Plant diseases are <strong>on</strong>e of the most important c<strong>on</strong>straints to barley (Hordeum vulgare) producti<strong>on</strong> and quality in the United States. Our Cereal Disease Resistance Project is part of the Minnesota <strong>Barley</strong> Improvement Program team that develops sixrowed malting barley cultivars for the Midwest. The primary missi<strong>on</strong> of the Cereal Disease Resistance Project at the University of Minnesota is the c<strong>on</strong>trol of ec<strong>on</strong>omically important barley diseases. For many diseases, this goal is best achieved through the development of cultivars with genetic resistance. Thus, the l<strong>on</strong>g-term goal of this project is to develop the knowledge base, resources, and germplasm for achieving durable disease resistance in malting barley cultivars. In additi<strong>on</strong> to these goals, it is also essential to c<strong>on</strong>duct disease surveys and m<strong>on</strong>itor pathogen populati<strong>on</strong>s for new virulence types. In 2006, breeding lines were sown for evaluati<strong>on</strong> for resistance to spot blotch, Septoria speckled leaf blotch (SSLB), and net blotch. Durable resistance has been achieved for spot blotch. Our evaluati<strong>on</strong>s ensure that this resistance is not lost when exotic material is introgressed into the breeding program. Indeed, we identified several susceptible lines from Busch Agricultural Resources, Inc. (BARI) breeding program in this tests. These lines have now been discarded. We are also working <strong>on</strong> increasing the level of resistance to SSLB and net blotch in the Minnesota program. Toward this end, we have identified a number of agr<strong>on</strong>omically advanced lines with high levels of resistance to both diseases. Our annual disease survey was c<strong>on</strong>ducted <strong>on</strong> July 12-14 in 2006. Fusarium head blight, net blotch, and SSLB c<strong>on</strong>tinue to be comm<strong>on</strong> diseases <strong>on</strong> barley, but their severity was reduced due to dry weather in 2006. Bacterial blight also was found in a few fields in 2006. Additi<strong>on</strong>al pathogen isolates were collected from this survey and were stored in our pathogen collecti<strong>on</strong>. Pathogen isolates are an essential resource for resistance breeding efforts and the identificati<strong>on</strong> of novel sources of disease resistance. They are also useful as a historical record of virulence shifts in pathogen populati<strong>on</strong>s. Our research goals all directly address AMBA’s primary objective of developing malting barley cultivars with improved agr<strong>on</strong>omic and quality characters. The deployment of superior malting cultivars with disease resistance will help ensure that an adequate supply of high quality malting barley is available to the malting and brewing industry.
