Popis: Multiple Allium accessions (garlic, and wild and ornamental Allium species) were screened for resistance using Penicillium allii and A. sativum (positive control). Single accessions of A. aflatunense , A. atroviolaceum , A. stipitatum , and Allium sp. remained asymptomatic. Single accessions of A. roseum and A. senescens , two accessions each of A. acuminatum and A. ampeloprasum and a single accession of A. moly displayed lesion expansion rates not exceeding 22%, 26%, 46%, 50%, 61%, 67% and 67%, respectively, of positive controls. Single accessions of A. sativum var. ophioscordon and A. scorodoprasum displayed rates not exceeding 68% and 55%, respectively, of positive controls with deep wounding, but did not consistently differ with shallow wounding. Accessions of A. canadense , A. sativum or A. longicuspis did not differ, differed inconsistently, or differed insubstantially from positive controls. Lesion expansion rates for A. acuminatum , A. ponticum and A. scorodoprasum were significantly less than in positive controls, but their small bulbs often rotted completely. Results document publicly available germplasm possessing significant resistance to P. allii .
