Following international debate as to the risk associated with T. indica a revised Pest Risk Analysis (PRA) for Tilletia indica has been produced using a draft of the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organisations (EPPO) PRA scheme. This is the culmination of a 4-year EU Fifth Framework Project (‘Karnal bunt risks’) and reflects the work of 9 Partner Organisations in 7 countries including Australia and the USA. The views expressed within this PRA do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission who partly-funded the work or the National Plant Protection Organisations of any of the individual countries either contributing to or cited in the PRA. The risk of entry has been evaluated based upon trade data and data on interceptions of T. indica in the European Union (EU) and this shows that the pathogen has the potential to enter the EU. The risk of establishment has been determined by a range of methods. These include: 1. Experimental work with the pathogen in European field conditions to determine the longevity of teliospores of T.

  • Karnal Bunt Tilletia Indica What Is It? Karnal Bunt (Tilletia Indica) Is a Fungus Affecting Grains of Wheat, Durum and Triticale
    Fact sheet Karnal bunt Tilletia indica What is it? Karnal bunt (Tilletia indica) is a fungus affecting grains of wheat, durum and triticale. Karnal bunt is not present in Australia. It does occur in the USA, Mexico, India, Afghanistan, Pakistan and parts of Nepal and Iraq. If introduced into Australia, Karnal bunt would be almost impossible to eradicate as its spores can live in the soil for five years or more until conditions favour growth, usually a period of cool, wet weather. An incursion of this fungus could severely disrupt international trade and have a major economic impact on our agricultural industry, as a major exporter of wheat. Karnal bunt is most likely to enter Australia either on diseased grain or as spores on travellers' clothing. To prevent the introduction of this disease to Australia it is important that all seed imports to Australia occur through appropriate quarantine facilities, and that travellers to overseas farms thoroughly wash all clothing on return to Australia. Suspect samples must be reported to Biosecurity SA immediately. Two ears of wheat smutted What does it look like? Source: Ruben Durán, Washington State University, Karnal bunt is not easily detected prior to harvest, since it is usual Bugwood.org for only a few seeds in each head to be affected by the disease. The symptoms of this fungus are most easily seen in harvested grain, and range from pinpoint sized spots to thick black spore masses running the length of the groove in the grain. Usually only part of each grain is affected, although occasionally the whole seed will be blackened with a sooty appearance.

Decreased production of wheat in the major wheat growing countries may be attributed to prevalence of Karnal bunt disease. The major impact of Karnal bunt is yield reduction and a decrease in quality of grains by imparting a fishy odour and taste to the wheat. The disease has gained significant importance due to the fact that it is prevalent only in a few countries around the world.

  • Economic Analysis of Ending the Issuance of Karnal Bunt Phytosanitary Wheat Export Certificates
    Special Article Economic Analysis of Ending the Issuance of Karnal Bunt Phytosanitary Wheat Export Certificates Gary Vocke, Edward W. Allen, J. Michael Price1 Abstract: Karnal bunt is a wheat disease that is subject to regulation in the United States through quarantining of affected counties to limit its spread. Currently, the Karnal bunt regulatory program allows the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to issue phytosanitary export certificates stating that wheat in a given shipment is from an area where Karnal bunt is not known to occur. Ending this certifiation pro- gram would jeopardize U.S. exports to some countries. A model developed by the Economic Research Service was used to analyze a scenario of ending the certifica- tion. The loss of export markets for U.S. wheat producers would be only partially offset by increased domestic feeding of lower-priced wheat. Wheat prices would remain below baseline levels. Reduced wheat production and lower prices for wheat combine to reduce the total value of the wheat produced in the country, as well as the net income in U.S. agriculture. The cumulative reduction of national net farm income from 2003 to 2007 relative to the baseline is $5.3 billion. However, this includes cumulative marketing loan payments associated with all crops of $2.0 bil- lion above the baseline over the 2003-07 period. Keywords: Wheat, Karnal bunt. Introduction spread of Karnal bunt in the United States and con- ducts an annual voluntary survey of grain delivered to Karnal bunt (sometimes called partial bunt), caused by elevators to check for Karnal bunt across the country.

GURJAR*, A. JOGAWAT, M.S. SAHARAN and R.

Kolmer and Á. Mesterházy) Karnal bunt of wheat (Tilletia indica) is an important internationally quarantined disease from food security point of view. For understanding host specificity and host-pathogen inter- action, putative pathogenicity-related genes were analysed in Tilletia indica in response to host factor at different time points. Highest radial mycelia growth (3.4 cm) was recorded in media amended with susceptible host factor followed by resistant host (2.6 cm) and control (2.0 cm) at 30 days after incubation significantly. Fourteen homologous sequences of puta- tive pathogenicity-related genes, viz. TiPmk1, TiKss1, TiHog1, TiHsp70, TiKpp2, TiCts1, TiHos2, TiChs1, TiPrf1, TiSid1, TiSsp1, TiSte20, TiUbc4 and TiUkc1, were identified in T. indica by in silico analysis. Some of the pathogenicity-related genes were highly expressed significantly in T. indica in response to susceptible host factor as compared to resistant host factor. TiPmk1, TiHog1, TiKss1 were found highly upregulated up to 26-fold (3 days), 20-fold (3 days) and 18-fold (4 days), respectively, significantly in presence of susceptible host factor. The TiCts1 and TiChs1 showed transcripts up to 26-fold (4 days) and 20-fold (3 days) in the presence of susceptible host factor.
