Investigation on the Method of Rapid Identifying Resistant Tobacco Germplasms to Alternaria Alternata by Using its Mycotoxins

In order to find out an approach to rapidly identify resistant tobacco germplasm to Alternaria alternata, tobacco varieties Jingyehuang, Beinhart1000-1, NC89 and G140 were used as test materials. Using toxins produced by brown spot fungus (Alternaria alternata), we carried out a comparative test to choose a better screening method. Three kinds of screening methods were designed: toxins liquid soaking root of tobacco, toxins liquid soaking seeds of tobacco, and toxin-containing medium screening method. To verify the reliability of the toxin-containing medium screening method, Correlation between laboratory test results and field data on tobacco varieties Jingyehuang, Beinhart1000-1, NC89, G140, K326, G28 and Zhongyan100 was analyzed, and correlation coefficient of -0.9588 was found, which suggests the effectiveness of laboratory method is close to those of field.
