Barley yellow dwarf virus-host plant interactions affecting winter stress tolerance in cereals - 1990 - Printed

Production of winter cereals in temperature climate is greatly affected by winter stresses and disease incidence. In controlled environment studies, barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) infection reduced low temperature tolerance of plants most severly in oats (Avena sativa L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and less severely in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) OC but had no effect in rye C (Secale cereale L.) although rye developed high concentrations of the virus. BYDV caused a rise in the LT50 (temperature at which 50 % of the plants are killed) of 4 to 8degrees Celsius in barley and 2 to 4degrees Celsius in wheat; a change of even 0.5degrees Celsius in
