'IPR 100' was derived from a crossing between "Catuaí" and a hybrid . 'IPR 100' is a medium size dwarf cultivar with high rusticity, with late ripening cycle, and with resistance to Meloidogyne paranaensis and to some M. incognita populations.
Nematode diseases have a worldwide importance for several economic agricultural crops, such as soybean. Frequently, new or secondary pathogens arise as emergent diseases due to the intensified use of agricultural lands, causing extensive yield losses.
Helicotylenchus dihystera
(Hd) and
Scutellonema brachyurus
(Sb) appear as potential pathogens for soybean in Brazil, since their spread and population densities have been increased on soybean growing areas. Aiming to evaluate the quantitative distribution of Hd and Sb in soybean fields in South Brazil, a survey was conducted during the growing seasons of 2014–2015 and 2015–2016 in which 1,088 soil samples and 1,043 root samples were analyzed. Besides, two greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate the pathogenicity of both nematodes to soybean plants, in comparison with
P
.
brachyurus
(Pb), a known pathogen of the crop. The survey demonstrated that Pb, Hd and Sb are widely distributed in the States of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Mato Grosso do Sul. Besides, we proved that Hd and Sb multiply and cause root lesions in soybean cv. Potência, since they were found inside roots, and can be considered as potential pathogens for soybean plants.
Cultivar IPR 106 resulted from a spontaneous hybridization between "Icatu IAC 925" and an unknow dwarf plant. It is a dwarf cultivar with high rusticity, late ripening cycle, large grains, excellent cup quality and resistance to some populations of the nematodes Meloidogyne paranaensis and M. incognita found in the state of Paraná.
Aphelenchoides besseyi is the causal agent of soybean green stem and foliar retention syndrome known as Soja Louca II. This nematode has recently been reported parasitizing cotton in Brazil. In Costa Rica, it causes the symptoms known as “amachamiento” and false angular spots in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). Due to the great importance of beans to Brazilian agriculture, the objective of this research was to study the pathogenicity of A. besseyi in common bean under greenhouse conditions, including its endoparasitic relationships by staining root and shoot system tissues with fuchsin acid. In addition, A. besseyi was collected and quantified from shoot systems 30 days after inoculation by washing the tissue in water and blender centrifugal-flotation. We observed the symptoms of “amachamiento”, leaf and vein deformation in the expanded trifoliate leaves, and also leaves with necrotic, brown to reddish and angular lesions, characteristics from false angular spot, and deformed stems characterized by enlargement of nodes, retortions and necrotic lesions. High numbers of nematodes were found inside common bean plants. This is the first report of the pathogenicity and symptoms caused by A. besseyi in common bean in Brazil. These findings are important for development of management strategies to avoid losses on bean cropped in infested areas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
