Bunt or stinking smut is a major disease of wheat. In the U.S.
common bunt, Tilletia caries (DC) Tul. and T. foetida (Wallr) Liro,
is a threat to wheat production in the Pacific Northwest. Screening
trials conducted by USDA Cereal Investigations Project in Oregon,
from 1955-1980, revealed that a number...
A study of populations characteristics of T. turgidum ssp.
carthlicum and T. aestivum ssp. carthlicoides was completed using
numerical analysis. A sample of 74 accessions of ssp. carthlicum
and 20 of ssp. carthlicoides were scored for 46 characters. It was
established that three morphological distinguishable groups of ssp.
carthlicum can...
Chromosome counts were determined for 152 accessions of Pseudoroegneria
spicata (Pursh) A. Löve and, combined with existing count
data, used to plot the distribution of diploid and tetraploid populations.
Morphological variation of 55 characters was examined in five
groups totaling 205 operational taxonomic units (OTU's), using
cluster, principal factor, and...
