- Abstract
The use of resistant wheat cultivars is a fundamental strategy to minimize the damages caused by blast, a disease caused by the fungus Pyricularia oryzae Triticum (PoT). The objetive of this stydy was to (a) evaluate the reaction to blast of Brazilian wheat cultivars and (b) determine whether there is correlation between severity of symptoms on wheat spikes and "sporulation rate of PoT conidia per gram of wheat spike rachis" (Rscon). Plants of 16 wheat cultivars were grown in greenhouse until flowering (Zadoks stage 65), when their spikes were inoculated with a suspension formed by mixing the conidia of three PoT isolates. The evaluated variables were blast severity on spikes at 5, 7 and 11 days after inoculation (dai) and Rscon. Rachis were evaluated individually to determine the Rscon. Correlation analyzes were carried out between blast severity means on spikes of cultivars at 5, 7 and 11 dai and Rscon. The cultivars TBIO Mestre, TBIO Aton, ORS 1401, ORS 1403, ORS Destak, ORS Feroz, and CD 116 stood out for being classified in the statistical groups with the highest resistance to blast for the four variables considered in the study. The correlation between blast severity on spikes at 5, 7 and 11 dai and Rscon is at most moderate.
