Genetic variation in Ustilago bullata: molecular genetic markers and virulence on Bromus tectorum host lines.
2005-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The pathogen Ustilago bullata often causes epidemic levels of head smut disease in Intermountain populations of the inbreeding annual grass Bromus tectorum. We examined patterns of genetic variation for virulence and for amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers in four U. bullata populations on B. tectorum in northern Utah and southern Nevada. Patterns of disease incidence generally supported a gene-f...
