Genetic variation for ergot (Claviceps purpurea) resistance and alkaloid concentrations in cytoplasmic-male sterile winter rye under pollen isolation
2010-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Ergot caused by Claviceps purpurea results in the contamination of rye grain by sclerotia that contain alkaloids toxic to humans and other mammals. Ergot incidence and severity are affected by various factors including the availability of pollen during flowering. To test the presence of variation for ergot resistance due to anatomical and/or biochemical factors in rye, we studied cytoplasmic-male sterile (CMS) inb...
