The relationship between ratings following four inoculation techniques and field ratings and the usefulness of these techniques for screening large populations was determined. Plants of Brassica napus ’Westar,’ ’Wesroona’, ’Topas’, ’Hanna’ and ’R8314’ were inoculated with L. maculans using four techniques: cotyledon inoculation with cotyledon rating, leaf inoculation with leaf and stem rating, stem inoculation with stem rating and inoculation using infested oat kernels with stem rating. Plants from each combination of cultivar and technique were self-pollinated for evaluation of disease rating in the field. The highest precision was obtained with cotyledon rating following cotyledon inoculation. The correlation coefficient between the rating of inoculated plants and the field rating of their progeny ranged from 0.50** for oat kernel inoculation to 0.72** for cotyledon inoculation. Considerable variation for field rating was associated with each rating following artificial inoculation. Selection of resistant plants using low cotyledon reaction was a more efficient technique than leaf or stem inoculation; it was rapid, required less labour and space and correlated well with the field ratings. Key words: Leptosphaeria maculans, Brassica napus, blackleg, oilseed rape, inoculation methods, canola

With the growing aridity of the climate on the Don, it became necessary to improve the methodology for conducting the  breeding of spring durum wheat. The main method of obtaining the source material remains intraspecific step hybridization. Crossings were performed between genetically distant forms, differing in origin and required traits and properties. The use of chemical mutagenesis was a productive way to change the heredity of genotypes in terms of drought tolerance. When breeding for productivity, both in dry years of research and in favorable years, the most objective markers were identified — the size of the aerial mass, the mass of grain per plant, spike, and harvest index. The magnitude of the correlation coefficients between the yield per unit area and the elements of its structure is established. It was most closely associated with them in dry years, while in wet years it decreased. Power the correlation of the characteristics of the pair - the grain yield per square meter - the aboveground biomass averaged r = 0.73, and in dry years it was higher (0.91) than in favorable ones (0.61 - 0.70) , between the harvest and the harvest index - r = 0.81 (on average). In dry years, the correlation coefficient increased to 0.92. Research data confirms the greatest importance of the mass of grain from one ear and the plant in the formation of grain yield per unit area in both dry and wet years. In dry years, the correlation coefficient between yield and grain mass per plant was on average r = 0.80; in favorable years, r = 0.69. The relationship between yield and grain mass from the ear was greater — r = 0.84 and r = 0.82, respectively. Consequently, the breeding significance of the aboveground mass and the productivity of the ear, as a criterion for the selection of the crop, especially increases in the dry years. They were basic in the selection.

When conducting an exploratory analysis of the data and the subsequent construction of functional dependencies between the observed phenomena, it is often necessary to assess the degree of dependence between the studied data. The basis for obtaining such criteria with a probabilistic approach usually includes the correlation component of the sample. The choice of the used indicator directly depends on the methods of studying the sample, as well as the tools for constructing the model. In most cases, at the initial stage of modeling, it is precisely the homogeneity estimates of the sample that are studied, a good selection of which can reduce the complexity of constructing the relationship between the data.In this paper, we study a method for assessing  the uniformity of sample data when constructing a uniform regression model. The first part of the paper describes the correlation coefficient for the L∞ regression, studies the interval of its change, describes the geometric interpretation and the algorithm for constructing this indicator. In the second part of the paper, we study the method of constructing an indicator of "concentration" of the sample. For this, formulas are derived that relate the correlation coefficient to the magnitude of the original sample. In conclusion, a description is given of the algorithms for constructing the considered indicators, and conclusions are drawn about the complexity of these algorithms.

Hormone signaling plays a pivotal role in plant–microbe interactions. There are three major phytohormones in plant defense: salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET). The activation and trade-off of signaling between these three hormones likely determines the strength of plant defense in response to pathogens. Here, we describe the allocation of hormonal signaling in Brassica napus against the fungal pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans. Three B. napus genotypes (Westar, Surpass400, and 01-23-2-1) were inoculated with two L. maculans isolates (H75 8-1 and H77 7-2), subsequently exhibiting three levels of resistance: susceptible, intermediate, and resistant. Quantitative analyses suggest that the early activation of some SA-responsive genes, including WRKY70 and NPR1, contribute to an effective defense against L. maculans. The co-expression among factors responding to SA/ET/JA was also observed in the late stage of infection. The results of conjugated SA measurement also support that early SA activation plays a crucial role in durable resistance. Our results demonstrate the relationship between the onset patterns of certain hormone regulators and the effectiveness of the defense of B. napus against L. maculans.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between word predictability and sentence intelligibility. This relationship was examined by comparing intelligibility scores obtained with frequency-filtered sentences (CID Sentence Lists B and D and Revised List C) which were scored using key words empirically determined to be representative of three different degrees of predictability. We hypothesized that the scores obtained would be a function of the predictability status of the key words used in scoring. Results indicated significant differences between the three scoring procedures for each sentence list under two filtering conditions (420-Hz and 360-Hz low pass) and these differences were in the hypothesized direction. The results suggest that use of “easy-to-predict” words for scoring purposes will increase sentence intelligibility scores, while use of “difficult-to-predict” words will depress scores. We concluded that word predictability is a factor influencing sentence intelligibility and that careful selection of key words, based on their predictability status, is a method of controlling or influencing the intelligibility of sentences.

A study was carried out to determine the relationship of blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans) to ascospore loads from infested canola residue, and also to determine whether effects of chemicals on L. maculans development and ascospore discharge from residues would be reflected in subsequent disease on a freshly sown crop. Residues were dipped in a water-only control or solutions of flutriafol or glufosinate-ammonium and placed in the field prior to early winter rains where they remained through the growing season. Canola (Brassica napus cv. Dunkeld) was seeded adjacent to residues. Early seedling lesion and adult plant crown canker development were monitored. A significant exponential relationship between numbers of ascospores discharged from residues and seedling percentage disease index (SPDI; range 0–100%) and adult plant percentage disease index (APDI; range 0–100%) was evident. In particular, large variations in SPDI and APDI were evident in relation to changes in level of inoculum where less than 25 × 105 ascospores/stem (approx.) were discharged. A reduction in ascospore numbers discharged from 25 × 105 ascospores/stem to 5 × 105 ascospores/stem resulted in a significant reduction of SPDI and APDI. Above this ascospore/stem threshold, responses to inoculum increases were minimal, with relatively little further increase in SPDI or APDI. Our study established, for the first time, a clear response of disease severity to numbers of ascospores discharged. SPDI was lower in plots containing flutriafol- or glufosinate-ammonium-treated residues compared with water-only control plots. Nearly all seedlings remained symptom-free in flutriafol-treated plots compared with only 20% in the water-only control plots. Crown canker measurement on adult plants indicated significantly lower APDI in plots containing flutriafol- or glufosinate-ammonium-treated residues compared with the untreated control plots. SPDI was highly correlated to APDI.
