Abstract

In an experiment twenty wheat and triticale genotypes including indigenous and exotic were evaluated three years (2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10) against different isolates i.e., BS 25, BS 34 and BS 75 spot blotch disease causing pathogen (B. sorokiniana). Seedlings of the wheat genotypes showed different degrees of Per cent Disease Index (PDI) with a range of 16.04 to 59.99. Maximum spot blotch severity was recorded on Lok Bharti (PDI 59.99) followed by in genotype Agra Local (PDI 56.7). Four wheat genotypes (Shisenzhary 86 (PDI 18.49), Synthetic-23 (PDI 16.04), Chuanmai-18 (PDI 19.02) and BVE x Atila (PDI 19.20) were showed moderately resistance whereas, one genotype (Chirya-3) was found moderately susceptible with PDI 29.83. URP profiles confirmed extremely high level of polymorphism/genetic variability (90%) among wheat genotypes. The URP dendrogram illustrated one major cluster of susceptible wheat genotypes and one minor cluster of four moderately resistant wheat genotypes (Shisenzhary 86, Synthetic 23, Chuanmai 18 and BVE x Atila). Principal component analysis performed on URP data explained 70.41% variation available among the wheat genotypes.
