Abstract

A system to culture viruliferousPolymyxa betae and to produce zoospores is described. The zoo spores were used for inoculation of beet seedlings, grown in nutrient solution, in tests for resistance to beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV). On most occasions in a time course experiment, and with various zoospore cultures, the partially resistant cultivar Rima and the accession Holly-1–4 had virus concentrations similar to the susceptible cultivar Regina, but the virus concentration inBeta vulgaris ssp.maritima accession WB42 was significantly lower (P<0.05). ‘Regina’ could be distinguished from various resistant accessions by a significantly higher virus concentration (P<0.05) shortly after inoculation, or after transplanting the seedlings from the nutrient solution into sand. Results of screening for resistance to BNYVV, using zoospores for inoculation, did not correspond with results of a test in which infested soil was used.

Tests in which seedlings are grown in nutrient solution and inoculated with zoospores are suitable for the detection of accessions with a high level of resistance to BNYVV. To obtain virus infection in all plants, the optimal density of the zoospore suspension should first be determined and plants should be assayed shortly after inoculation.
