161Wheat Breeding<strong>for</strong> Scab ResistanceThe main sources of resistance to scabused in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Brazilian breedingprograms are descendants of Asiancultivars. such as Nobeoka Bozu.Pekin 8. Nyu Bay. Minami Kyushu 69.Abura. Inayama. Tokai 66 and o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>rs(7,9.14.15.16.17.18.19.20.21.22,32.35.36.44.45.52.53). Local cultivars.especially Toropi and Encruzilhada. arealso being used because. even though<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>y are moderately susceptible ingreenhouse tests. <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>y show someresistance under field c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s(26.27.28.31.59).Crosses followed by genealogicalselecti<strong>on</strong> have been used in attempts tocombine resistance to scab with o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>rtraits of local interest. such as yield.quality and resistance to o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r diseases.The EMBRAPA Nati<strong>on</strong>al WheatResearch Center at Passo Fundo has aspecial program <strong>for</strong> transferringresistance to scab. via back crosses, toseveral cultivars of good agr<strong>on</strong>omictype (49).Selecti<strong>on</strong> <strong>for</strong> scab resistance shouldstart with a preliminary selecti<strong>on</strong> of F2plants or. if entries are to be testedunder heavy inoculum in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> field orgreenhouse. in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> F3 and/or F4generati<strong>on</strong>s. According to Nakagawa(pers<strong>on</strong>al communicati<strong>on</strong>). selecti<strong>on</strong> in<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> F4 and F5 generati<strong>on</strong>s are moreeffective. In localities where scab doesnot occur every year. testing should berepeated over several generati<strong>on</strong>s untilreliable data can be obtained.Table 4 presents <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> percentage ofscabbed (shriveled) kernels ofsusceptible and resistant cultivars andTable 4.
