Seven wild accessions of Coffea arabica from Ethiopia prospected by FAO Coffee Mission 1964-1965 were investigated concerning the resistance to 18 Brazilian strains and two Kenyan strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. garcae and four P. syringae pv. tabaci strains, causal agents of bacterial halo blight and bacterial leaf spot, respectively. The cultivars of C. arabica IPR 102, resistant to the diseases, and Mundo Novo IAC 376-4, susceptible, were used as experimental controls. Our results indicated that the Ethiopian accessions presented high levels of resistance to all Brazilian strains of P. syringae pv. garcae but were susceptible to infection caused by Kenyan strains, which causes different levels of severity in wild accessions and experimental controls. Ethiopian accessions were also considered resistant to the four P. syringae pv. tabaci strains, with low susceptibility observed, one point on the severity scale, in access E-268 in response to a strain of the bacterium.

Breeding for genetic resistance is an important method of crop disease management, due to the numerous benefits and low cost of establishment. In this study, progenies of 11 Coffea species and 16 wild C. arabica accessions were tested for their response to Pseudomonas syringae pv. garcae, the causal agent of bacterial halo blight, a widespread disease in the main coffee-producing regions of Brazil and considered a limiting factor for cultivation in pathogen-favorable areas; and also to P. syringae pv. tabaci, causal agent of bacterial leaf spot, a highly aggressive disease recently detected in Brazil. Separate experiments for each disease were carried out in a greenhouse, with artificial pathogen inoculations and ideal moisture conditions for disease development. The results showed that C. canephora, C. congensis, C. eugenioides, C. stenophylla, and C. salvatrix progenies, the wild C. arabica accessions Dilla & Alghe and Palido Viridis, and cultivar IPR 102 contain satisfactory levels of simultaneous resistance against bacterial halo blight and bacterial leaf spot. These results are useful in breeding programs for durable resistance to multiple biotic agents, providing new combinations of resistance alleles by hybridization, as well as for phytopathological studies, to identify infraspecific variability of the pathogens.
