Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Interspecific comparison of two Paspalum species has demonstrated that mating systems (selfing and outcrossing) contribute to variation (genetically and morphologically) within species through similar but mutually exclusive processes. Mating systems play a key role in the genetic dynamics of populations. Studies show that populations of selfing plants have less genetic diversity than outcrossing plants. Yet, many such studies have ignored morphological diversity. Here, we compared the morphological and molecular diversity patterns in populations of two phylogenetically-related sexual diploids that differ in their mating system: self-sterile Paspalum indecorum and self-fertile P. pumilum. We assessed the morphological variation using 16 morpho-phenological characters and the molecular diversity using three combinations of AFLPs. We compared the morphological and molecular diversity within and among populations in each mating system. Contrary to expectations, selfers showed higher morphological variation within populations, mainly in vegetative and phenological traits, compared to outcrossers. The high morphological variation within populations of selfers led to a low differentiation among populations. At molecular level, selfing populations showed lower levels of genotypic and genetic diversity than outcrossing populations. As expected, selfers showed higher population structure than outcrossers (PhiST = 0.301 and PhiST = 0.108, respectively). Increased homozygous combinations for the same trait/locus enhance morphological variation and reduce molecular variation within populations in selfing P. pumilum. Thus, selfing outcomes are opposite when comparing morphological and molecular variation in P. pumilum. Meanwhile, pollen flow in obligate outcrossing populations of P. indecorum increases within-population molecular variation, but tends to homogenize phenotypes within-population. Pollen flow in obligate outcrossers tends to merge geographically closer populations; but isolation by distance can lead to a weak differentiation among distant populations of P. indecorum.

Abstract
Wheat curl mite (WCM), Aceria tosichella, is the vector of Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV), a destructive viral pathogen in wheat (Triticum aestivum). Genetic resistance to WCM colonization can reduce the incidence of wheat streak mosaic. Chromosome 6V in Hay-naldia villosa is a new source of WCM resistance. We compared variation in resistance among different sources of H. villosa chromosome 6V and 6VS lines to WCM and WSMV and their effectiveness in controlling the incidence of WSMV following exposure to viruliferous WCM. WCM resistance varied among the 6V and 6VS lines depending on the H. villosa parent. The 6V substitution lines Yi80928, GN21, and GN22 derived from an accession of H. villosa from China, and the 6VS translocation lines 92R137, 92R178, and Sub6V from an H. villosa accession collected from the United Kingdom were uniformly resistant to WCM colonization. In contrast, the 6V substitution line RW15 and a 6VS translocation line Pm33 developed from an H. villosa collection from the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics were susceptible to WCM. All 6V and 6VS lines were susceptible to WSMV when manually inoculated. However, symptom expression was delayed in the WCM-resistant 6V and 6VS lines after exposure to viruliferous WCM. The 6V and 6VS lines differed in their ability to control WSMV infection. WCM-susceptible lines RW15 and Pm33 had no effect on controlling the infection by WSMV. Lines GN21 and GN22 were the most effective of the three H. villosa sources in limiting the spread of WSMV. Their high yield potential and protein content, in combination with resistance to stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) and powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis f. sp. tritici), make GN21 and GN22 promising sources of WCM resistance.

Abstract
Levels and distribution of genetic variation were assessed using six allozymes in 27 populations of Alaskan wheatgrass (Elymus alaskanus) from different locations in Canada, USA, Greenland and Russia to obtain information on the genetic structure of these populations. The enzyme systems were ACO, DIA, GPI, MDH, PGM and SKD. Allozyme variation at the species level was high, with 64.3% (Ps) of the loci being polymorphic, an average number of alleles per locus of 1.9 (As), and an average genetic diversity of 0.17 (Hes). Differentiation was found in the populations studied, with the following findings: (1) statistically significant differences were found in allele frequencies among populations for every polymorphic locus (P < 0.001); (2) 63% of the total allozyme variation at polymorphic loci was partitioned among populations (GST = 0.63); (3) relatively low mean genetic distances between the populations were obtained (mean D = 0.029); (4) the genetic structure of Russian populations are clearly distinct from the other populations, the cluster and principal component analyses revealed the same genetic patterns of relationships among populations. This study also indicates that E. alaskanus contains different levels of allozyme variation in its populations. Furthermore, some banding patterns at the loci Aco-1, Aco-2, Gpi-2, Mdh-1, Skd-1, Skd-2 can be used as markers to identify individual populations.

Abstract
Resistance to Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides (cause of eyespot) and Puccinia striiformis(cause of stripe rust) was evaluated in a germ plasm collection of Dasypyrum villosum (syn. Haynaldia villosa) and a set of disomic addition lines, a substitution, and a translocation line of D. villosum chromosomes in a wheat background. Three races of P. striiformis and a β-glucuronidase-transformed strain of Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides were used to inoculate plants and evaluate disease reactions. Of the 115 D. villosum accessions tested, 33 (28.6%) were resistant to one or more races of Puccinia striiformis and 8 accessions were resistant to all races. All 219 accessions of D. villosum tested were resistant to Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides and 158 (72%) of the accessions had lower β-glucuronidase activity than the resistant wheat line VPM-1. Most of the accessions of D. villosum resistant to the stripe rust pathogen originated from Greece; however, there was no distinction among origins for resistance to the eyespot pathogen. Chromosome 4V was confirmed to carry the gene for resistance to P. herpotrichoides. At least one gene for resistance to Puccinia striiformis was located on the short arm of chromosome 6V of D. villosum in the 6VS/6AL-translocation line; this gene was named Yr26.
