Abstract (portuguese)

A verrugose dos citros, causada pelo fungo Elsinoe fawcettii, encontra-se presente em todas as áreas citrícolas do Brasil. Dada sua importância, o comportamento de acessos e híbridos de tangerinas foi avaliado sob condições naturais de infecção. O estudo envolveu plantas não irrigadas, com 15 anos de cultivo, sendo coletados 100 frutos de três plantas por genótipo, na fase de colheita. Mediante o emprego de escala de notas que variaram de 0 (ausência de sintomas) a 6 (sintomas severos), procedeu-se a avaliação do nível de severidade da doença. Dentre genótipos que mostraram-se resistentes incluem-se Citrus deliciosa, C. tangerina, C. nobilis; um híbrido de mandarina (C. nobilis x C. deliciosa) e um híbrido de satsuma (C. unshiu x C. sinensis). Nos demais genótipos foram encontrados sintomas, cujos níveis de severidade variaram de 1 a 3, enquadrando-os como de moderada resistência.

Abstract (english)

A citrus scab disease, caused by Elsinoe fawcettii, is currently found in all citrus areas throughout Brazil. That being, given the importance of this casual agent, the behavior of tangerines and hybrids influenced by this pathogen was evaluated under natural infection conditions. This study was performed with plants around 15 years old without irrigation; 100 fruits of three plants were collected during harvest season, using a grade scale varying from 0 (absence of symptoms) to 6 (severe symptoms) the level of disease severity was determined. Among the cultivars, citrus scab resistance was observed in Citrus deliciosa, C. tangerina, C. nobilis; a mandarin hybrid (C. nobilis x C. deliciosa) and a satsuma hybrid (C. unshiu x C. sinensis ). Among the other genotypes, symptoms were observed with levels of severity ranging from 1 to 3, indicating moderate resistance.
