[Fusariosis of seeds of winter triticale]
Abstract:
The results of studying the mycoflora of winter triticale grains and seedlings after artificial and natural inoculation are presented. The species of Fusarium, Alternaria, Helminthosporium, Septoria, Cladosporium, Penicillium, Rhizopus were identified. Fusarium spp., prevailed over other fungi as to the number of its isolates. Its isolates (n = 142) were distinguished, 5 species were identified. It is significant, that most isolates of Fusarium graminearum caused a disease of grains. The species F. oxysporum dominated on winter triticale seedlings.
Insights
This study identified various fungi, including Fusarium, Alternaria, and Septoria, on winter triticale. Fusarium species were most prevalent, with Fusarium graminearum causing significant grain disease.
Area of Science:
- Agricultural Mycology
- Plant Pathology
Context:
- Investigating the mycoflora of winter triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack) is crucial for understanding crop health.
- Fungal pathogens can significantly impact grain yield and seedling establishment.
Purpose:
- To identify and quantify fungal species colonizing winter triticale grains and seedlings.
- To determine the prevalence of specific fungal genera, particularly Fusarium, and their association with disease symptoms.
Summary:
- A comprehensive analysis of winter triticale mycoflora revealed the presence of Fusarium, Alternaria, Helminthosporium, Septoria, Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Rhizopus species.
- Fusarium spp. were the most frequently isolated fungi, with 5 species identified among 142 isolates.
- Fusarium graminearum was strongly associated with grain disease, while Fusarium oxysporum was dominant on seedlings.
Impact:
- Findings highlight the significant role of Fusarium species in winter triticale pathology.
- This research provides essential data for developing targeted disease management strategies in triticale cultivation.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal chance to...
