Abstract

Investigations were made with ten varieties of tobacco types : Prilep (P- 23 , P- 76 , P- 66-9/7 , P-84), Yaka (YK 10-7/1), Djebel (Xanthe, XDj-M), Basmak (MB-3), Samsun (SM-1), Sirdili (SM-LL) and Virginia (MV-1) and their 45 diallel crosses for resistance to diseases, with an emphasis on black shank - Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae. The trial with parental genotypes and their hybrids was set up in 2011, 2012 and 2013 at the Experimental field of the Scientific Tobacco Institute - Prilep in randomized block design with three replications. Traditional agricultural practices were applied during the growing season. The resistance/susceptibility degree was estimated according to a scale recommended by FAO.
The aim of this paper is the detection of resistance to black shank and creation of resistant lines, using diallel analysis to obtain a knowledge on the genetics of this disease.
The highest resistance to the disease was recorded in YK 10-7/1 and SM-LL, while the varieties MV-1 and P-76 showed to be the most susceptible. The highest resistance in the diallel was recorded in the crosses where one of the parents was YK 10-7/1, which indicates a possession of dominant gene of resistance. In the process of breeding, the method of Back-cross hybridization was used in order to increase the varieties resistance to the black shank disease.
Keywords: tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), diallel crosses, Back-cross hybridization, resistance, black shank (Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae).
