| Description | Sixty-nine accessions, representing 30 species of Allium, were tested for resistance to Sclerotium cepivorum in a glasshouse. Allium seeds were sown in soil which had been inoculated with laboratory-grown sclerotiaof S. cepivorum. Seedling mortality was assessed for 7 weeks beginning 3 weeks after sowing. After the final assessment 61 of the accessions tested had mortalities of 76–100%. A. tel-avivense showed no evidence of infection to S. cepivorum. Five accessions which had mortalities ≤75% were tested again. A. tel-avivense still showed no evidence of infection; accessions of A. cernuum; A. ledebourianum, A. lineare, and A. galanthum were found to be significantly less susceptible than A. cepa. The A. cepa cultivars 'Pukekohe Longkeeper' and 'Early Longkeeper' used as controls, were very susceptible. Lack of infection in A tel-avivense is perhaps a result of the inability of the species to stimulate sclerotial germination. |
