Inheritance studies and physiologic specialization in bunt, Tilletia tritici (Bjerk) Winter and Tilletia levis (Kühn), of wheat
Abstract
Stinking Smut of wheat (bunt), Tilletia tritici (Bjerk) Winter and Tilletia levis (Kühn), is the most destructive dis- ease of this crop, according to Gaines (14). He estimates the loss in 1926 as 340,000,000.00. The disease has always caused considerable loss to the wheat growers of the Pacifie Northwest according to Bates, Bodnar, and Baldwin (1) who state that the loss in this section amounts to about 10,000,- 000.00 annually.Stewart and Cross (41) estimate the loss due to bunt in Nebraska in 1928 as more than a million dollars. They show that nearly 40% of the ears of wheat received at the Omaha, Nebraska terminal market in 1915 and 1926 were graded smutty.
