Growth properties of induced mutants of the common wheat-bunt fungus, Tilletia caries, in axenic culture and in planta

Creator:

Churchill, Alice Cynthia Louise

Abstract:

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...

The growth of wild-type and genetically-marked strains of Tilletia caries and T. controversa in susceptible and resistant wheat cultivars

Creator:

Trail, Frances

Abstract:

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...
