Randomized trial assesses viral infection rates in winter rye cultivars, suggesting pathways for breeding resistant plants.
Key Points
This work aims to evaluate the prevalence of viral infections in winter rye cultivars in the Cis-Ural region and identify resistant genotypes.
Conducted ecological and genetic analysis of eight winter rye cultivars grown in Cis-Ural region.
Used reverse transcription followed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for detection of BYDV and WSMV.
Compared infection rates across different cultivars to assess resistance.
BYDV was detected as the dominant pathogen in most cultivars.
WSMV exhibited a lower incidence compared to BYDV.
Significant differences in infection rates among cultivars indicate genetically determined resistance, with certain cultivars showing reduced susceptibility.
