Summary
Wild oat accessions from the Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) Gatersleben were selected as potential sources of resistance to powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis f.sp. avenae). The Avena strigosa accessions AVE 128, AVE 488 and AVE 264, along with A. occidentalis accession CAV 3889 showed high levels of mildew resistance in tests at early and late growth stages over two years; the latter is a particularly useful source because it is a hexaploid species. Moderate levels of resistance were also found in A. fatua accession AVE 1981, AVE 2032 and A.sterilis accession AVE 1373 but this could be due to the later maturity of these genotypes.
