Greenhouse Screening of Peanut for Resistance to Peanut Rust

Abstract

Accessions of Arachis hypogaea, A. glabrata, A. monticola, and several other legumes were tested to Puccinia arachidis cultures PR-1-66 (from Puerto Rico) and TEX-1-67 (from Frio County, Texas). Accessions PI 314817 and PI 315608 of A. hypogaea were physiologically resistant to both rust cultures. One hundred seventy-one accessions tested to both cultures, 68 tested only to PR-1- 66, and four tested only to TEX-1-67 were susceptible. Five accessions of A. glabrata were immune, six non-peanut legume species were also immune, and one accession of A. monticola produced only small, weakly sporulating pustules when tested to PR-1-66.
