Genetic Similarity among Isolates of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, Causal Agent of Tan Spot of Wheat
2006-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Tan spot, a foliar disease of wheat, is caused by the fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis. On susceptible wheat cultivars, P. tritici-repentis induces two distinct symptoms: tan necrosis and extensive chlorosis. Presently isolates of P. tritici-repentis are classified into 11 races based on their virulence on a set of wheat differential genotypes. In nature, this pathogen reproduces both sexually and asexually, bu...
