Phytophthora root rot (PRR) is the most important constraint to the production of avocado, Persea americana, worldwide. The pathogen, Phytophthora cinnamomi, does not occur naturally in Florida, but has spread to all produc tion areas in the state. The use of PRR-resistant rootstocks is the most effective long-term management strategy for this disease. In previous work, resistant rootstocks from the program of the University of California at Riverside were tested in Homestead. Their generally poor performance prompted the described research. From 996 to, we screened 2, open-pollinated seedlings from 2 acces sions in the USDA-ARS National Avocado ermplasm Re pository in iami for resistance to PRR. Although most seedlings were highly susceptible (i.e., developed >% root necrosis), tolerance to PRR was observed in several families. In general, the greatest tolerance was found in progeny with a West Indian heritage. Four seedlings sur vived two rounds of screening with minimal PRR damage. These selections will be clonally propagated for screeningunder field conditions. Proc. Fla. State Hort. Soc. :.

Phytophthora root rot (PRR) is the most serious disease of avocado worldwide (Erwin and Ribiero, 996; Zentmyer, 9). It has decimated commercial production in many ar eas in Latin America and has destroyed germplasm collec tions throughout the region (C. W. Campbell, pers. comm.; R. Knight, pers. comm.). PRR is the major factor limiting pro duction in Australia and South Africa, and in California alone causes annual losses of ca. $3 million (Coffey, 9). PRR is caused by a soilborne organism in the Kingdom Chromista, Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands. The pathogen was thought previously to be a fungus, but is now known to be un related to the true fungi (Eumycota). One of the distinctive features of its life cycle is the production of motile zoospores. These propagules are chemotactically attracted to, infect, and kill root tips of avocado. Since free water is required for zoospore formation and motility, PRR is most severe in poorly drained and flooded soils. For example, hurricanes, tropical storms and, more recently, the artificial elevation of water ta bles adjacent to Everglades National Park, have resulted in se rious PRR-induced damage and mortality of avocado trees in southern Florida (Ploetz and Schaffer, 97; Ploetz and Schaffer, 99). PRR-resistant rootstocks have been selected at the Univer sity of California at Riverside for over years (Coffey, 9; Zentmyer, 9). In general, this program has relied on nat ural hybrids of the exican and uatemalan races of P. amer icana, vars. drymifolia and guatemalensis, respectively, and to a lesser extent, P. americana and P. schiediana hybrids. Although many of these selections have good resistance to PRR, they generally perform poorly in calcareous soils (Ben-Yaacov et al., 9; Ploetz et al., 99). oreover, they usually do not tolerate conditions in the lowland humid tropics as well as P. americana var. americana, the West Indian race. Work in Israel and the Canary Islands indicates that toler ance to PRR and to calcareous and saline soils exists in the West Indian race (Ben-Yaacov, etal, 9; Ben-Yaacov, 99; Table 2.

In this paper we report pre liminary work to identify avocado rootstocks that could be grown in periodically flooded, P. dnnamomnnfested soils in southern Florida. aterials and ethods A large collection of avocado germplasm is established at the National Avocado ermplasm Repositiory (USDA-ARS) in iami. The collection was started in 96 and currently contains genetically diverse accessions. From 996 tol99, fruit were collected from a total of 2 accessions in this collection (Table 2). Seeds were removed from fruit, dipped in benomyl fungicide (.2 g L), and stored in an air-conditioned greenhouse until they could be planted (usually within 2 d) in a peat, bark, and sand potting mix. Seedlings were grown for 3- months in a glasshouse be fore they were replanted in potting mix that was infested with P. cinnamomi. Inoculum was of a virulent isolate of the patho gen that was grown on autoclaved millet seed. It was mixed uniformly, at a rate of 2.2 g (fresh weight) L of potting mix, in a large Hobart blendor. No more than 2 seeds were plant ed per.7 x.3 m metallic tray. After 6- weeks, seedlings were removed from trays, gently washed, and examined for root necrosis. A visual estimate of the percentage of roots on each seedling that were necrotic was made, and note was taken of the characteristics of seed lings that appeared healthy. In general, seedlings that had less than 3% root mortality and/or possessed a large and vig orous root system were replanted in infested soil in 3 L pots to ensure that they were not disease escapes. After 3-6 months, the selections were rated again. Results and Discussion A total of 2, open-pollinated seedlings were screened from 996 to. In general, very high levels of disease de veloped under the described conditions (Table 3, Figs. and 2). For example, an average of 97% of the roots of 'Ein Vered' seedlings were necrotic, and more than 9% of the seedlings of several other accessions were affected. However, there was considerable variation in susceptibili ty among seedlings from the different accessions (Table 3). In, seedlings from 'Simmonds' and 'Winslowson seedling' developed about one-half as much root rot as the most sus ceptible seedlings, and in seedlings from 'Catalina' de veloped about one-third the amount of damage suffered by the most susceptible group (Table 3 and data not shown).

There was also variation in the susceptibility of seedlings with different racial backgrounds (Table 3, Figs. and 2). For example, in mean ratings for seedlings from West Indi an cultivars were % lower than for exican x uatemalan hybrids and cultivars with a background. In, the same relative ranking was repeated despite the analysis of seedlings from a much different group of cultivars that year. Of relevance to the objectives of this work, far greater num bers of seedlings of West Indian cultivars and uatemalan x West Indian hybrids were tolerant of PRR than any of the oth er backgrounds that were tested. Using an arbitrary standard of less than % root necrosis, 23 of the 6 (3.%) uatema lan x West Indian seedlings and 3 of the 69 (.%) West Indian seedlings were tolerant, but only four of the 777 seed lings (.%) from all other pedigrees were so ranked. Four seedlings survived two rounds of screening: one each from 'Dade' and 'Pollock' and two from 'Catalina.' We plan to clonally propagate these individuals to test them fur ther in infested soil in the field.
