Genetic studies of Tilletia spp. have been hampered by the lack
of genetic markers. The work discussed here is a first report of the
isolation of genetically marked strains of J. caries and their use in
wheat plant infection studies. Procedures for the isolation of auxotrophic and drug-resistant mutants in...
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...
Field microplot studies conducted over two seasons
(1982-1984) evaluated the influence of four physically and
chemically diverse soils collected from Pacific Northwest
wheat fields on the incidence of dwarf bunt of winter
wheat caused by Tilletia controversa Kuhn. These soils
were placed at Flora and Pendleton, Oregon to determine
the...
The objective of this study was to provide basic
information on the interaction of the bunt fungi
Tilletia caries and T. controversa with their host,
Triticum aestivum. Studies on the ability of haploid
strains to colonize wheat heads provided the basis for
experiments in which haploid strains were crossed in...
