  1. Screening for RYMV resistance using insect vectors A. Onasanya1, F.E. Nwilene1, Y. Séré1, E. M. Abo2 1Africa Rice Center (WARDA) 2National Cereals Research Institute Africa Rice Congress 31 July – 4 August 2006, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

  2. OUTLINE Introduction Management Strategy Key Issues Methodology Results Summary The Way Forward

  3. Distribution of RYMV in Africa Burkina Faso Mauritania Mali Niger Senegal Chad Gambia Guinea Bissau Guinea Sierra Leone Benin Ghana Liberia Kenya Togo Côte d’Ivoire Rwanda Tanzania Nigeria Cameroon Madagascar Countries with RYMV incidence Endemic countries

  4. Strategy for Integrated Management of RYMV Cultural practices Varietal resistance Vector management Alternative host management

  5. How is the virus transmitted? The virus is mechanically transmitted – gains entry into rice plants through injuries. The possible roots of entry are: Root damage during transplanting and roots intertwining in the soil Weeding operations with hoes Harvesting with sickle Insects

  6. Why focus on insect vectors ? The insect species feed on an infected plant 1 collect the virus particles 2 pass them on to the next plant that they feed on 3 The virus does not undergo any changes within the insect itself, but simply uses it as a vehicle

  7. Insect vectors of RYMV Trichispa sericea Oxya hyla Chaetocnema pulla Locris rubra Chnootriba similis Conocephalus longipennis

  8. Nature of damage of rice leaves by vectors 4. Chnootriba similis 5. Conocephalus longipennis • Chaetocnema pulla • Trichispa sericea • Oxya hyla 5 1 4 2 3

  9. Key Issues • High yielding rice varieties with stable resistance to RYMV are not yet available • Why do we want to modify our screening methodology by using insect vectors in place of conventional mechanical inoculation ? • Why in a uniform field of rice, only some plants become diseased ?

  10. Methodology Differential rice genotype used

  11. Identity of RYMV isolates from Nigeria

  12. I8 Highly Pathogenic I1 I7 I5 I4 Mildly Pathogenic I6 I2 I3 Virulent strainselection • 3 isolates ( I1, I7 &I8 ) were highly pathogenic and virulent • I7 isolate was selected for use in insect vector screening study

  14. Methodology (cont.) • Experimental design: RCB with 3 replications • Insect vector used : Oxya hyla reared on BG-2 in a paddy screen house • Cultivar used : 8 differential rice genotypes • Infected rows : BG 90-2 • RYMV Isolate : I7 from Nigeria • Data collection (42 days after inoculation): • - % disease incidence (visual score on a scale of 1-9) • % viral content (ELISA) • % yield reduction

  20. Summary Screening with mechanical inoculation produced: 7.8% viral content 45.5% disease incidence 77.8% yield reduction Screening with insect vector produced: 45.2% viral content 21.7% disease incidence 41.1% yield reduction

  21. Summary (cont.) • Insect vector was able to transmit higher viral content than the mechanical inoculation method • Virus pathogenicity (disease incidence and yield reduction) was higher in mechanical inoculation method than in the insect vector

  22. The Way Forward This preliminary study revealed the possibility and potential of using insect vector to screen for durable resistance to RYMV. However, information on other vector species is needed to further confirm its potential
