Spread of anther-smut disease (Ustilago violacea) and character correlations in a genetically variable experimental population of Silene alba

1995-10-01

Abstract excerpt

The anther-smut fungus Ustilago violacea produces spores in diseased flowers of the dioecious plant Silene alba; spores are transferred to healthy plants by insect pollinators. To study the ecological and genetic determinants of disease spread and its demographic consequences, an experimental population of S. alba was created that contained both anther-smut inoculated plants (as an inoculum source) and uninoculate...
