Abstract

Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) is a recently discovered virus infecting wheat. A total of 170 isolates of TriMV, collected in 2010 and 2011 from wheat (Triticum aestivum L) or jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica Host) from Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota, were compared with the 06-123 Kansas isolate. These isolates were compared for the percentage of infected plants in N28Ht maize, ‘Gallatin’ barley and ‘Mace’ wheat (with temperature-sensitive resistance to Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV). The isolates were also compared for the effect of inoculum virus titre on the percentage of infected plants in WSMV-susceptible ‘Tomahawk’ wheat by mechanically inoculating the cultivar using 1:10 w/v, 1:300 v/v or 1:600 v/v dilutions of extracts. None of the isolates infected N28Ht maize but all isolates infected ‘Gallatin’ barley, ‘Mace’ and ‘Tomahawk’ wheat. Some isolates from Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska had low relative titre in wheat compared with the 06-123 isolate. This information is important in critical selection of TriMV isolates for use in greenhouse and field studies and in resistance screening protocols.

Résumé

Le virus de la mosaïque du Triticum (TriMV) est un virus récemment découvert qui infecte le blé. En tout, 170 isolats de TriVM, collectés en 2010 et 2011 sur du blé (Triticum aestivum L.) ou de l’égilope cylindrique (Aegilops cylindrica Host.) au Colorado, au Kansas, au Nebraska et au Dakota su Sud, ont été comparés à l’isolat 06-123 du Kansas. Ils ont été comparés relativement au pourcentage de plants infectés chez le maïs N28Ht, l’orge ‘Gallatin’ et le blé ‘Mace’ (avec résistance thermosensible au virus de la mosaïque-bigarrure [WSMV]). Les isolats ont également été comparés quant à l’effet du titre en virus de l’inoculum ou au pourcentage de plants infectés chez le cultivar de blé ‘Tomahawk’ réceptif au WSMV, en l’inoculant mécaniquement avec les dilutions d’extrait suivantes : 1:10 w/v, 1:300 v/v ou 1:600 v/v. Aucun des isolats n’a infecté le maïs N28Ht, mais tous les isolats ont infecté l’orge ‘Gallatin’ et les cultivars de blé ‘Mace’ et ‘Tomahawk’. Certains des isolats provenant du Colorado, du Kansas et du Nebraska affichaient de faibles titres relatifs chez le blé, comparativement à l’isolat 06-123. Cette information est importante sur le plan de la sélection critique des isolats de TriMV quant à leur utilisation dans les études menées en serre et en champ ainsi que sur celui des protocoles de criblage à l’égard de la résistance.
