flag smut of wheat [2 records]

Record 1 2016-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plant Diseases
  • Grain Growing
DEF

A fungus disease of wheat caused by Urocystis tritici for Urocystis agropyri.

CONT

Geographic distribution. Flag smut of wheat has been reported from all continents (Purdy, 1965), and, being seed-borne, it has probably been introduced frequently into many regions. U. agropyri was important in parts of Australia, China, South Africa, northern Egypt, the Punjab of India and Pakistan, and in local parts of the U.S. Local farming practices and differences in the inherent resistance of wheats in a region influence the prevalence of flag smut, but climate is the main factor.

OBS

Fischer and Holton (1943) concluded that U. tritici arose from U. agropyri, and that U. agropyri, by priority, is the valid name of the wheat flag smut fungus.

DEF

Enfermedad que ataca principalmente a los trigos invernales en áreas con inviernos templados. También se presenta en trigos de primavera cultivados durante los meses de invierno en algunas áreas del Subcontinente Indio.

OBS

Una especie estrechamente relacionada con Urocysti agropyri produce el carbón del tallo del centeno. El carbón de bandera se identifica fácilmente, pero con frecuencia pasa inadvertido por el enanismo excesivo que causa en las plantas.
