Genetic variation of winter rye cultivars for their ergot (Claviceps purpurea) reaction tested in a field design with minimized interplot interference
2010-02-01
Abstract excerpt
With 2 figures and 5 tables Ergot caused by Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul. is a serious threat to rye (Secale cereale L.) cultivation. It produces sclerotia containing a mixture of alkaloids toxic to animals and humans. For improving ergot resistance in rye a reliable field testing with a minimal disturbance by pollen transfer between plots is indispensable. We evaluated 85 rye cultivars of four types of cultivar (...
