Resumen:
Tan spot, caused by Pyrenophora tritici repentis, is a common disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum) responsible for economic losses in some wheat growing areas worldwide. In this study the pathogenic and genetic diversity of 51 P. triticirepentis isolates collected from different ecological regions of Argentina were analyzed. Virulence tests were conducted on 10 selected wheat cultivars: Buck Halcón, Chris, Gabo, Glenlea, Klein Dragón, Klein Sendero, Max, ND 495, ProInta Guazú and ProInta Imperial. Data revealed significant differences between all main factors evaluated and the interactions for 19 of the isolates analyzed. Based on the reaction type of each isolate/cultivar combination, 48 different pathogenic patterns were detected. The molecular analysis using Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) revealed the existence of 36 different haplotypes among 37 isolates of P. tritici-repentis originally selected for this study. These results indicate that P. tritici-repentis on wheat in Argentina is a heterogeneous fungus, implying that screening wheat germoplasm for resistance for tan spot disease requires a wide range of pathogen isolates.Pyrenophora tritici repentis, is a common disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum) responsible for economic losses in some wheat growing areas worldwide.
