TY - JOUR A1 - Hollaway, GJ A1 - Bretag, TW T1 - Occurrence and distribution of races of Pseudomonas syringae pv. pisi in Australia and their specificity towards various field pea (Pisum sativum) cultivars JF - Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture JO - Aust. J. Exp. Agric. Y1 - 1995 VL - 35 IS - 5 SP - 629 EP - 632 KW - UR - https://doi.org/10.1071/EA9950629 N2 - The occurrence of races among 65 Australian isolates of Pseudornonas syringae pv. pisi, the causal organism of bacterial blight of field peas, was investigated. Race 3 was most common in Victoria and New South Wales, while race 6 was most common in South Australia. Field pea cultivars were screened for their resistance or susceptibility toward the 7 races of P. syringae pv. pisi. The most common cultivars were susceptible to races 3 and 6, explaining the high incidence of these races in this survey. All cultivars tested were susceptible to race 6, which was identified in all 3 States. ER -
