Characterization of <i>Aphanomyces euteiches</i> Pathotypes Infecting Peas in Western Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Aphanomyces root rot, caused by the soilborne oomycete Aphanomyces euteiches Drechs., has developed into a serious disease in the pea- and lentil-producing areas of the Great Plains of North America. Based on six pea differentials previously used to differentiate 11 pathotypes in France, pathotypes were identified among field isolates from Saskatchewan (14) and Alberta (18). Four isolates from the U.S.A. and standard isolates for pathotypes I and III designated in the French study were also included. Each isolate was tested twice in replicated experiments by inoculating French pea differentials ‘Baccara’, ‘Capella’, MN 313, 902131, 552, and PI 80693, along with the Canadian susceptible pea cultivar ‘CDC Meadow’ and partially resistant USDA line PI 660736 under controlled conditions. Pea plants grown in vermiculite were inoculated 10 days after seeding by pipetting 5 ml of a suspension containing 1 × 10 3 zoospores ml −1 to the base of each plant. Root discoloration was scored 10 days postinoculation using a 0 to 5 scale. Testing revealed that 38 of the isolates, including standard pathotype I isolate RB84, belonged to pathotype I; four isolates including standard pathotype III isolate Ae109 were pathotype III; and U.S.A. isolate Ae16-01 was a pathotype II isolate. An alfalfa isolate from Quebec was avirulent on all pea genotypes. These findings indicate that pathotype I is predominant on the Canadian prairies.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
