  • Effects of host resistance on Mycosphaerella graminicola populations

    Creator:
    Cowger, Christina
    Abstract:
    Mycosphaerella graminicola (anamorph Septoria tritici) causes Septoria tritici blotch, a globally important disease of winter wheat. Resistance and pathogenicity generally vary quantitatively. The pathogen reproduces both sexually and asexually, and the pathogen population is highly genetically variable. Several unresolved questions about the epidemiology of this pathosystem are addressed by this...

  • Ecology and biological control of an apomictic invasive plant, Chondrilla juncea (Asteraceae)

    Creator:
    Campanella, Donald M.
    Abstract:
    A study consisting of three parts was undertaken to investigate how variation in species interactions, population genetic structure, epidemiological parameters, and plant breeding system may influence the ecology and biological control of an apomictic invasive plant, Chondrilla juncea (Asteraceae). Interactions between natural enemy species may modify their net effect on...

  • Sensitivity of wheat genotypes to a toxic fraction produced by Cephalosporium gramineum and correlation with disease susceptibility

    Creator:
    Rahman, Mahfuzur
    Abstract:
    Cephalosporium stripe, caused by the soil-borne ascomycete Cephalosporium gramineum, is becoming an increasingly important disease of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) in several areas of the world, especially where stubble mulch is practiced to maintain soil moisture and prevent erosion. As cultural control of the disease is infeasible and no fungicides...
