FONTES DE RESISTÊNCIA À MANCHA-ANGULAR DO FEIJOEIRO-COMUM NO BRASIL / ANGULAR LEAF SPOT RESISTANCE SOURCES IN COMMON BEAN IN BRAZIL
Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the resistance of bean genotypes to different races of Phacoisariopsis griseola present in Brazil, by studying the reaction of nine potentially resistant bean sources (MAR 1, MAR 2, MAR 3, AND 277, G 5686, BAT 332, Cornell 49-242 and Mexico 54) inoculated with 61 fungus isolates and characterized in 25 pathotypes. The first trifoliate leaf of each plant was inoculated with a 2 x 104 spores/ml suspension. Plants were maintained at 2D-22°C and 95 % relative humidity for 48 hours. The evaluations were carried out 15 days after inoculation. The variety Mexico 54 presented a resistance reaction to 20 races thus being considered the best resistancesource tested. The varieties AND 27?, AVIAR 2, Cornell 4y-242, €`x5686 and SAT 332 were resistant to 17, 16, l2, 13 and 10 races, respectively. The Rudá variety was susceptible to most races. 'These results demonstrated the need to introduce more resistance genes to angular leaf spot in commercial varieties
