Other claims from this paper (14)
- Association Indian mustard is more productive than canola in hot, unreliable-rainfall regions.
- Observation South Asian mustard accessions were severely damaged by Pseudomonas blight.
- Observation Most mustard cultivars from above 45°N resisted the blight.
- Method / resource A phytotron seedling screening procedure was developed.
- Observation Responses to a Pseudomonas isolate were largely controlled by co-dominant PsmR and PsmS alleles at one locus.
- Association Field-resistant F3 families matched PsmR/PsmR parents, with few or no modifying genes inferred.
- Association Resistant families yielded 13.8% more seed than segregating and susceptible families.
- Observation Seed rot occurred in imported and local mustard seed samples and was attributed to a yeast resembling Nematospora sinecauda.
- Intervention effect Hot water seed treatment eliminated the seed-rotting disease.
- Intervention effect Control of presumed Nysius vinitor vectors eliminated seed rot.
- Observation Five improved Pseudomonas-resistant cultivars were released for cold-pressed low-erucic oil.
- Observation Yield of released cultivars increased 2.4% per annum between 1989 and 2001.
- Observation Flowering-time adjustment provided a one-off improvement.
- Recommendation The authors suggest field selection for pathogen, soil and climate tolerance and nutrient-use efficiency to sustain progress.
