With funding from the US Wheat and <strong>Barley</strong> Scab Initiative, obtained by Dr L Dahleen<br />

USDA-ARS Fargo, we are screening in the glasshouse 60 lines of transgenic C<strong>on</strong>l<strong>on</strong><br />

barley with anti toxin gene TRI101 and yeast metabolite transporter gene PDR5 for<br />

resistance to Fusarium head blight. Preliminary results indicate that lines c<strong>on</strong>taining<br />

either gene can be effective at reducing disease. Promising lines will be tested in the<br />

field in <strong>2002</strong>.<br />

Another future directi<strong>on</strong> will be to look at manipulating inoculum levels in the stubble of<br />

previous crops to reduce the disease pressure <strong>on</strong> barley. To date most disease c<strong>on</strong>trol<br />

methods are aimed at reducing disease levels <strong>on</strong>ce the infecti<strong>on</strong> has begun. Manipulati<strong>on</strong><br />

of stubble to reduce inoculum will take place by a combinati<strong>on</strong> of mechanical, chemical<br />

and microbiological methods. Collaborative research projects are under negotiati<strong>on</strong> with<br />

Dr D Schisler USDA-ARS Peoria Il to test biological c<strong>on</strong>trol strains of Cryptococcus<br />

nodaensis yeast and with Dr J. Kloepper Auburn University, AL to test a three<br />

comp<strong>on</strong>ent Bacillus mix for reducti<strong>on</strong> of inoculum potential and disease due to Fusarium<br />

graminearum.<br />

With Dr P Bregitzer USDA-ARS Aberdeen ID and Peggy Lemaux UC Berkley, we have<br />

negotiated a collaborative project in which we test transgenic Drumm<strong>on</strong>d barley with<br />

antifungal genes TLP1 and TLP4 and trichothecene pathway genes TRI101 and TRI102<br />

against a range of barley diseases. Germplasm is not expected to become available for<br />

this project for 12 m<strong>on</strong>ths at which time funding will be sought to support this comp<strong>on</strong>ent<br />

of the project.<br />

With Dr B Steffens<strong>on</strong> UM and Dr D Garvin USDA-ARS Minneapolis I have negotiated a<br />

collaborative project to screen 120 H. vulgare ssp sp<strong>on</strong>taneum introgressi<strong>on</strong> lines for<br />

resistance to disease caused by a range barley pathogens.<br />
