1 Breeding resistant cultivars to reduce mycotoxin risks in oats International Oat Conference St Petersburg July 13, 2016

2 A collaborative research effort Trond Buraas Lars Reitan Åsmund Bjørnstad Selamawit Tekle Helge Skinnes Morten Lillemo Choice of resistant cultivars Norwegian University of Life Sciences 2

3 FHB in Norway (1) Severe FHB epidemics in Norway since 2000 Increased F. graminearum prevalence; major DON producer in Norway Reduced germination in certified seeds Cultivars Gere, Nes and Lena (Graminor) and Bessin (Norsaat) withdrawn from the market DEPARTMENT OF PLANT SCIENCES 3

4 FHB in Norway (2) Oat cannot be used as feed for monogastric animals in FHB-years For food 10% of the crop, but almost 1/3 imported every year due to FHB Due to FHB oat acreage should be reduced from 30 to 20%, but a key rotation crop in a specialized cereal production 22% in 2015, but no FHB! DEPARTMENT OF PLANT SCIENCES 4

5 Two types of trials Breeding trials: Designed by Graminor primarily to identify new varieties that are resistant to FHB and DON Genetic trials To study the resistance genetics of FHB, germination and DON in oats Choice of resistant cultivars Norwegian University of Life Sciences 5

6 Reliable field testing Spawn inoculation Mist irrigation in the evenings Field data (Flowering time, height, disease...) Parameters: FHB, Mycotoxin (DON), germination, seed infection Choice of resistant cultivars Norwegian University of Life Sciences 6

7 Parameter 1. FHB: Unreliable, confused with maturation- abandoned (Left cv. Hurdal, right Z615 )

8 Parameter 2. Degree of fungal infection left Belinda, right : Less infected Poor correlation with DON- abandoned

9 Parameter 3. Germination percentage used in breeding - but a composite problem: DON kills the seed at early infections Does not kill the healthy seed, but inhibits growth: Seedling blight: Reversible by dehulling and fungicides Choice of resistant cultivars Norwegian University of Life Sciences 9

10 Infection kills the seed. Effects on the ultrastructure 10

11 Surface infections: seedling blight

12 Parameter 4. Mycotoxin content: used in breeding DON measured by GC-MS: direct and efficient Used since 2008 NECESSARY to have strong infection levels DON-levels preferably between 3-30 ppm, but 1-10 may be significant Need several environments (two locations since 2011) Need repeated checks from the best to the worst Progress is possible: Recent varieties have 40% less DON DEPARTMENT OF PLANT SCIENCES 12

26 But low DON need not mean late and tall Mrg11/1C for FHB The previously identified Qdon-umb-17A/7C The CORE correlations reflect the very susceptible, tall and daylength sensitive Midwest lines They do not represent the truth about genetics of DON resistance in oats Progress in Norwegian oats despite limited variation in earliness and height! Resistant cv. Leggett is early and not so tall Bjørnstad et al, submitted DEPARTMENT OF PLANT SCIENCES 26

27 Anther extrusion (AE): a way to avoid FHB in oats, like in wheat and barley? Wheat Barley Wheat DEPARTMENT OF PLANT SCIENCES 27

28 Variation of AE exists, but high AE rare in modern varieties cv. Typhon: Closed cv. Norum: Wide open

29 Transgressive segregation for AE and as heritable as days to flowering Stormogul x Fia Stormogul x Svea P2 P1 P2 P1 Wald n.d.f F d.d.f P SE Genotype (g) < Year (y) g y <

30 Sources of error: drought, - and anthers remaining inside Anthers may remain inside, even at high AE! Sensitive to drought (and cloudy weather) Beware of drought when scoring AE

31 Does AE protect agains Fusarium? (1) Yes. In the field with spawn inoculation The higher the AE, the less FHB and DON FXS DTF Height FHB AE* Height ns FHB (P=0.00) (P=0.00) AE 0.33 (P=0.05) 0.53 (P=0.00) (P=0.00) DON (P=0.02) (P=0.03) 0.64 (P=0.00) (P=0.03) *16 RILs from each cross spawn inoculated in field 2015 Anther extrusion data was scored in previous greenhouse experiment. ns-non significant.

32 Does AE protect agains Fusarium? (2) No. The higher the AE, the more FHB and DON in the greenhouse: spray inoculated DTF FHB DON FHB ns DON ns (P=0.000) AE ns (P=0.022) ns

33 Conclusions Significant breeding progress possible in oats if testing is accurate and adequate NIR may be possible to supplement or replace expensive measurements Anther extrusion may have a role in infection, but confused with open flowering. Anther retention more accurate, but laborious to score Wide open flowers very susceptible to spray DEPARTMENT OF PLANT SCIENCES 33
