  • Cephalosporium stripe of wheat : seedling-based resistance screening and pathogenic variability

    Creator:
    Cowger, Christina
    Abstract:
    Cephalosporium stripe of wheat (Triticum aestivum), caused by the soilborne fungus Cephalosporium gramineum, results in significant yield reductions in dryland winter wheat crops of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The development of resistant cultivars offers the best hope for disease control. Breeding for resistance is hampered by the long trial times...

  • 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...
