1 CLONAL PROPAGATION OF WALNUT ROOTSTOCK GENOTYPES FOR GENETIC IMPROVEMENT 2010 Wes Hackett, Chuck Leslie, Joe Grant, Bruce Lampinen, Gale McGranahan, Kathy Anderson, Bob Beede, Rick Buchner, Janet Caprile, Carolyn DeBuse, Janine Hasey, Nicolas Manterola, Reid Robinson, Dan Kluepfel, Greg Browne, and Mike McKenry ABSTRACT This year we produced more than 3800 liner-sized plantlets of 21 genotypes for use in greenhouse pest and disease screening and for growing in nurseries to a size large enough to graft and use in orchard trials. In addition, we produced over 1300 liner plantlets of 29 lines transformed for resistance to crown gall for greenhouse re-testing of susceptibility to gall formation. A field plot, established at UC Davis for horticultural evaluation of these lines, was partly grafted to Chandler and continues under observation for horticultural and disease performance. Six transgenic rootstock lines which show complete immunity to crown gall based on greenhouse screens will be proposed for regulatory approval and further testing in nursery and orchard trials. A new soil mix for growing liner plantlets, consisting of peat:perlite (50:50) plus lime and micronutrients, and which gives better growth than UC mix, was developed. A stageof-development and time-of-planting experiment shows that planting leafy, quiescent liner plantlets in late summer is the best practice based on survival and size of the resulting trees after growth in the nursery. A non-replicated field trial of 16 clonal rootstock/ scion combinations suggests, based on scion growth over two seasons, that there may be some unexpected rootstock/scion interactions in walnut. Field trials of clonal rootstocks continue to be developed by farm advisors in both replant situations and new orchard plantings at diverse locations to test the horticultural performance of rootstocks selected for disease and pest resistance and virus tolerance. Clonal rootstocks are now in commercial production by several laboratories and nurseries. GOAL AND OBJECTIVES The goal of this project is to provide the California walnut industry with new clonal rootstocks selected or designed to combat the most threatening pests and diseases. The overall objective is to devise clonal methods of propagation for candidate genotypes and to provide clonal plantlets so that they can be evaluated in greenhouse and field replicated disease and pest challenge tests. PROCEDURES AND RESULTS Propagation methods: We have used two approaches to clonally propagate candidate rootstock genotypes with nematode, crown gall, Phytophthora, Armillaria or blackline tolerance or resistance: A. Tissue culture micropropagation with in vitro and ex vitro rooting of microshoots. B. Dormant hardwood cuttings on bottom heated beds. California Walnut Board 65 Walnut Research Reports 2010
2 Tissue culture micropropagation: This year we produced over 3800 liner plantlets of 21 genotypes for replicated disease and pest screening tests by Greg Browne, Dan Kluepfel and Mike McKenry (Table 1). We also produced about 1400 liner plantlets of 28 lines transformed for putative resistance to crown gall plus non-transformed control lines for use in greenhouse screening re-tests for crown gall resistance (Table 1). Note that survival of rooted microshoots is high (60-80%) for most genotypes except for English, black and some backcross genotypes. To alleviate this poor survival of some genotypes we are working on methods using etiolated shoots of English and backcross genotypes to improve rooting. If successful this should also improve survival. We also provided 40 liner plants of each of 18 genotypes for use by Greg Browne for screening for Phytophthora citricola and P cinnamomi resistance in large plant screens. This past year s production plus hold-over plantlets from the previous year s production gives us a current inventory of about 4800 liner plantlets ready for immediate use in 2011 (Table 2). Growing liner plantlets in peat-perlite soil mix: To facilitate more rapid screening for Phytophthora resistance by Greg Browne, we developed a new system for growing liner plantlets in peat:perlite (50:50) plus lime( 84 gm/ft3) potting mix in 2 3/8 x 2 3/8 x 3 ¾ inch deep Anderson pots rather than a UC mix with equal parts of peat:sand:firbark in 1 x 7 inch Tree- Tainers. The new system facilitates easy inoculation of the soil with cultured Phytophthora species. We thought this change to a new soil mix would be a straight forward process but it turned out that the plantlets in the peat-perlite plus lime developed a crinkled leaf symptom with reduced growth. Analysis of soil samples showed that the ph of the peat-perlite plus lime mix was about 7.2 while that of the UC mix was 6.6. Consultation with plant nutrition experts suggested that the crinkled leaf symptoms could be due to a micronutrient deficiency, possibly nickel based on similar symptoms known to occur in pecan. These two pieces of information led us to hypothesize that the crinkled leaf symptoms we observed were due to micronutrient deficiency induced by high ph, possibly a nickel deficiency, even though the Hoagland fertilizer solution being used contained micronutrients. To test this hypothesis we conducted an experiment in which we supplemented the peat:perlite plus lime by adding a commercially available blend of micronutrients (Micro-Max, 17 gm/ft 3 ) or lowered the ph to 5.7 by reducing the amount of lime by 50% (42 gm/ft 3 ). As shown in Table 3, the crinkled leaf symptom was eliminated by supplementing the peat:perlite medium with micronutrients and was reduced by lowering the ph. In addition, plantlets grown in peat-perlite plus lime plus Micro-Max are observed to grow more vigorously than those in UC mix. Using the improved peat-perlite mix, we have now provided Greg Browne with about 100 liners plantlets of five rootstock genotypes with varying degrees of resistance or susceptibility to P. cinnamomi and P. citricola which he has used to validate the use of small plants for screening for resistance. We have also produced an additional 250 plantlets in the new peat-perlite mix for his use as needed. Use of small liner sized plantlets for Phytophthora screening should reduce the resources needed for production of plants and the time required for Greg to screen for resistance. Screening small liner-sized plantlets for crown gall resistance: Based on the procedure we described in our 2009 report, we are now routinely using liner-sized plantlets from cold storage in screening trials for crown gall resistance. Table 4 shows the screening results of diverse genotypes and putatively crown gall resistant transgenic lines. We evaluated material using three measures of galling: gall score (estimate of the percent of the stem circumference that the gall surrounds), gall volume (gall height x width x depth) and the ratio of gall volume to stem California Walnut Board 66 Walnut Research Reports 2010
3 diameter. Note that a very high percentage of the lines with the inserted transgene for resistance show immunity or near immunity to galling, while the control lines form very large galls. Based on these results and preliminary observations of vegetative vigor, we are proposing six lines (J1 1A, J1 19a, J1 20A, RR4 4A, RR4 10A, and RR4 12A) for regulatory approval and plan to propagate these for further testing in nursery and orchard trials. We are also using the small plant screen to try to establish the relative susceptibility or resistance of black, English, paradox and backcross genotypes to crown gall. Based on both gall size and gall ratio it appears that we can detect some differences in galling severity between genotypes, with wingnut exhibiting the least severe galling followed by RX1. The black walnut selection W17 showed the most severe galling followed by UZ229, WIP3 and PX1, although the results for WI7 and for the English genotypes are based on a limited number of replicates. Hardwood cuttings: Hardwood cuttings were used to clonally propagate for re-testing 15 open pollinated seedlings from mother trees representing 3 species from the USDA National Repository that had no previous gall formation or only small gall formation 3 months (2 or 3 growing seasons) after inoculation with a virulent strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. A total of about 180 cuttings were made in early February using the protocol described in the 2009 report. A total of 120 rooted cuttings were grown in 1.5 liter Cetap pots for re-testing by Dan Kluepfel s laboratory. Nursery trial - determining optimum stage of plant development and time of year for transplanting liners to the nursery: Optimizing survival and growth of micropropagated liner plantlets in the nursery row is very important for successful commercial deployment of disease resistant walnut rootstocks to the California walnut industry. Because liner plantlets are propagated in tissue culture laboratories and then greenhouse grown, they may not be at the optimal stage of development and well acclimatized for transplanting to an outdoor nursery environment at the traditional time for transplanting (late spring- summer). We tested the effect of the developmental state of the liner plantlets and the time of transplanting to the nursery row both on survival and growth, using what we think are near optimal cultural practices. Drip-tape lines directly below the rootball provided irrigation frequently to keep the rootball at near optimal moisture at all times during new root establishment. Fertigation was provided weekly during establishment and during the periods of growth. The liner planting times were late summer (9/14/09), late fall (12/10/09), and mid-spring (1/29/10). For each planting time, one set of plantlets was given a cold treatment (42-45F) for five to eight weeks to ensure that the dormancy requirement was fulfilled and that the plantlets had maximum potential for growth. It was intended that a second group of plantlets would go quiescent in the greenhouse (leafy but no new leaves being formed) and a third group would be actively growing in the greenhouse at the time of transplanting. Due to the condition of the plants received from the laboratory supplier, the latter two conditions were difficult to attain, so most greenhouse-treated plants were leafy and quiescent for the 9/14/09 and 12/10/09 planting times and actively growing for the 4/29/10 planting time. Table 5 shows the results for survival and trunk diameter taken two inches above the soil of dormant plants on 12/10/10. Notice that survival was generally better for the 9/14/09 and the 4/29/10 planting dates than for the 12/10/09 planting date. Survival was % for the best California Walnut Board 67 Walnut Research Reports 2010
4 pre-treatments and 0% for the worst. Cold pre-treatment tended to decrease survival for the 9/14/09 and 12/10/09 planting dates but had little effect on the 4/29/10 planting date. This poorer survival for the cold- treated late summer and late fall plantings may be because the cold-treated plantlets had more growth potential and were still actively growing and susceptible to injury when the first frost conditions occurred. For plantlet growth as measured by trunk diameter, the 9/14/09 planting date was substantially better than the 4/29/10 planting date for VX211 and Vlach and marginally better for RX1. Based on both plantlet survival and plantlet growth, the best practice, as indicated by these results, is to plant quiescent leafy plantlets in late summer. The superior growth of the late-summer-planted plantlets (9/14/09) maybe due to the establishment of a root system during the fall which provides a larger root system for water and nutrient uptake the next spring as compared with the liner plantlets that are planted in spring after the danger of frost is past (4/29/10). Field Trials: Rootstock/scion interactions: A non-replicated trial consisting of 16 clonal rootstock/scion combination using bare-root nursery size trees derived from root-grafts was established in the spring of 2008 at the Plant Pathology Experimental Fields at UC Davis. Each combination consisted of from three to 11 trees with a total of 94 trees. All but two of the combinations had five or more trees. The trees were planted in three rows six feet apart with 18 inch spacing between trees in the rows on 3/8/08. Trees of each combination were planted consecutively in the rows with no replication or blocking. Trees were unpruned for the duration of the experiment. The plot was furrow irrigated and fertilized using standard Plant Pathology Department cultural practices. Trunk diameter (just above the graft union) and height measurements were made on 7/29/10. The data presented in Tables 6 and 7 suggest, as expected, that rootstock clone has an effect on both trunk diameter and height of the scion cultivar grafted on it. Surprisingly, all three scion cultivars appear to be larger on RX1 than on VX211, the most vigorous clonal rootstock for which we have data. On the date that the growth data were taken, the Howards on RX1 had darker green leaf color than the Howards on VX211, which exhibited more yellowish colored leaves. Interestingly, the UX022 rootstock produced the largest trees of Chandler and Tulare but the smallest trees of Howard. This preliminary data suggests that there may be unexpected rootstock/scion interactions in walnut. Crown gall resistance rootstock trial: A field trial of lines transformed for resistance to crown gall, non- transformed back ground genotypes as controls, and other rootstock genotypes of interest, has been established on the UCD campus and was partially budded to Chandler this year. This trial continues to be evaluated for horticultural performance and natural occurrence of crown gall. This block includes budded trees of the six best genotypes recently selected to move forward in the testing and potential release process. Scion and rootstock material from this trial have been, and will continue to be, used for work now in progress to assess any possible transgraft union movement of DNA, RNA or other macromolecules. Farm advisor/grower county rootstock trials: Currently established clonal rootstock field trials in grower orchards in the various counties are summarized in Table 8. Most of the initial clonal rootstock field trials were established in replant situations but farm advisors have now established a number of clonal rootstock trials at newly California Walnut Board 68 Walnut Research Reports 2010
5 planted orchard sites in diverse counties, several with replicated plot designs, and with a variety of scions and soil types. Rick Buchner established a trial of RX1, VX211, and Vlach in a Tehama County orchard (H. Crain) in 2009 using nursery-grown trees developed from commercially produced liners. The clonal rootstock genotypes were planted in a replicated design and budded to Howard (see separate report in this volume). Joe Grant and Joe Conant established plantings near Wheatland of RX1, VX211, and Vlach grafted or budded to Ivanhoe, Sexton, Howard, and selection A portion of these plantings are under power lines and evaluations will include observation of rootstock and scion effects on tree height. Carolyn DeBuse has planted a replicated clonal rootstock trial in Solano County (Cilker) using trees grown at Suchan Nursery from liners produced at UCD.This trial is on a good soil site and includes RX1, VX211, Burbank and Vlach (see report in this volume). A VX211 planting in Kings County (Verboon) established last year by Bob Beede includes VX211 grafted to Tulare in a fumigation treatment trial with Vlach planted in the buffer rows. Three trials of cherry leafroll-tolerant rootstocks have been established by Janet Caprile and Joe Grant and are currently under evaluation. These are located in Contra Costa County (see Caprile report in this volume) and San Joaquin County (see San Joaquin County section of this report). Several additional rootstock trials to evaluate performance of English cultivars on their own roots have been established by farm advisors in Butte, Yuba, and Stanislaus counties. Observations for these have been reported in recent volumes. See also summary of rootstock trial locations in Table 8. San Joaquin County rootstock trials - Joe Grant: Concar Ranch Trial: Performance of clonal Paradox and blackline-tolerant walnut rootstocks in San Joaquin County Project leader: Joe Grant Cooperating personnel: Brett Lagorio, Concar Ranch, Linden Bonilla Nursery, Oakdale Location: North of Flood Road, East of Escalon-Bellota Road, approximately 5 miles east of Linden, San Joaquin County Approximate GIS location: N W Soil at the site is Redding Gravelly Loam. The site was previously farmed as irrigated pasture. Prior to planting the soil was ripped (two directions) to six foot depth. There is a moderately compacted sandstone layer (4 thick) at approximately four foot soil depth. Scion variety is Chandler. Rootstocks include Own-rooted Chandler, RX1 clonal Paradox, VX211 clonal Paradox, WIP3, Vlach (June-budded and standard budded), AZ025, and seedling Paradox (June-budded, J. hindsii x J. regia per Bonilla Nursery). Spacing is 17 x 22. Irrigation since planting is by single-line above-ground drip. California Walnut Board 69 Walnut Research Reports 2010
6 Experimental design: Randomized complete block design with five four- to eight-tree replications. All trees were hand-planted 2/18/2008 as finished bare-root nursery trees. First- through thirdyear vegetative growth was very good. All trees had developed multiple 6 to 8 foot tertiary scaffolds by end of 2010 season. Own-rooted Chandler trees have noticeably more upright growth habit than those on other rootstocks. Trunk diameters after the second and third growing season were largest for own-rooted Chandlers, smallest for VX211, with other rootstocks intermediate.

The site was previously planted to walnuts which died from Phytophthora root rot (isolated and identified from root and soil samples as P. cinnamomi), and were removed one or two years prior to planting. Tree sites were pre-plant fumigated with 1 pound methyl bromide. Rootstocks include RX1 clonal Paradox and seedling Paradox (J. hindsii x J. regia per Burchell Nursery). Tree site spacing is 28 x 28. Each tree site is planted to two trees - one RX1 and one Paradox seedling - spaced about 2 apart, paired roughly by tree size at planting. Irrigation is by impact sprinklers. Experimental design: Randomized complete block design with ten ten-tree (paired tree) replications. All trees were hand-planted in May 2008 as bare-root un-grafted nursery whips and budded in August 2010 to Serr. California Walnut Board 70 Walnut Research Reports 2010
7 There was no first-year tree mortality, though some seedling trees appeared weak and grew noticeably more poorly than RX1 trees. Tree growth, as measured by trunk circumference increment, was similar for the two rootstocks: Trunk circumference (cm) of trees at Chiappi Farms Rootstock Trial 7/15/ /10/2010 % Change Paradox seedling RX Anderson Barngrover Trial Project leader: Joe Grant Cooperating personnel: Dave Taylor, Anderson Barngrover Ranch, Linden, CA Location: Comstock Rd, San Joaquin County Planted 2004, 12 X 24 hedgerow, Chandler scions Trial includes WIP 3, WIP, and WIP6. The number of trees is variable. English seedling trees produced by Dave Taylor are inter-planted between the clonal rootstock. Observations for 2010: trunk circumferences taken 1 foot above soil WIP3 (n=11 trees). trunk circ. = 53.5 cm One of the 12 original trees has died. WIP 5 (n=3). trunk circ. = 56.3 cm. No trees have died since planting WIP 6 (n=4). trunk circ. = 44.4 cm. No trees have died since planting English seedling trees (n=19). trunk circ. = 50.0 cm. No trees have died since planting Based on visual observation while walking the plot in December 2010, the scion portion of the English trees looked 20% larger/more vigorous than WIP3 and 40% more than WIP 6. The WIP5 certainly appeared not more vigorous than the English seedlings. Generally WIP clones appeared to be less vigorous, especially WIP6. Nursery Propagation and Commercialization: We are prepared to provide cultures of microshoots to any laboratory or nursery that wants them for licensed production of plants. We can also provide microshoots of Vlach, a public domain clone, to any laboratory or nursery that wants to produce it. Appendix 1 of this report includes a list of laboratories currently licensed for in vitro production of clonal rootstocks RX1 and VX211 and for sale of clonal rootstock plantlets as liners for nursery or orchard planting.
