Trials were carried out over three seasons in a field with natural inoculum sources of Wheat spindle streak mosaic virus (WSSMV) to evaluate the response to the virus of 71 cultivars of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.). Nine of these cultivars were assayed over three seasons, 18 over two seasons and 44 in one season only. The DAS (Double Antibody Sandwich) ELISA absorbance values obtained for single cultivars in each season were indexed to allow comparisons between results obtained in different years. Cultivar Claudio, assayed over three seasons, showed the lowest overall mean ELISA index, and thus represents, at present, the safest choice for soils infected by WSSMV. Relatively low mean ELISA indexes were observed also for cultivars Colorado, Rusticano and Provenzal.

Abstract
Trials were carried out over three seasons in a field with natural inoculum sources of Wheat spindle streak mosaic virus (WSSMV) to evaluate the response to the virus of 71 cultivars of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.). Nine of these cultivars were assayed over three seasons, 18 over two seasons and 44 in one season only. The DAS (Double Antibody Sandwich) ELISA absorbance values obtained for single cultivars in each season were indexed to allow comparisons between results obtained in different years. Cultivar Claudio, assayed over three seasons, showed the lowest overall mean ELISA index, and thus represents, at present, the safest choice for soils infected by WSSMV. Relatively low mean ELISA indexes were observed also for cultivars Colorado, Rusticano and Provenzal.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
