| Popis: | Black shank, caused by Phytophthora nicotianae, is one of the most important diseases affecting tobacco worldwide and is primarily managed through use of host resistance. An additional source of resistance to P. nicotianae, designated as Wz, has been introgressed into Nicotiana tabacum from N. rustica. The Wz gene region confers high levels of resistance to all races, but has not been characterized. Our study found Wz-mediated resistance is most highly expressed in the roots, with only a slight reduction in stem-lesion size in Wz genotypes compared with susceptible controls. No substantial relationships were observed between initial inoculum levels and disease development on Wz genotypes, which is generally consistent with qualitative or complete resistance. Isolates of P. nicotianae adapted for five host generations on plants with the Wz gene caused higher disease severity than isolates adapted on Wz plants for only one host generation. Wz-adapted isolates did not exhibit increased aggressiveness on genotypes with other sources of partial resistance, suggesting pathogen adaptation was specific to the Wz gene. To reduce potential for pathogen population shifts with virulence on Wz genotypes, Wz should be combined with other resistance sources and rotation of varying black shank resistance mechanisms is also recommended. |
