D. Washington State University December 2010 Chair: Lori M. Carris The 140 species of Tilletia (Ustilaginomycotina, Basidiomycota) are biotrophic pathogens that cause bunt and smut diseases of grasses (Poaceae). Among the most economically important species are the wheat bunt pathogens, T. caries, T. contraversa, and T. laevis. Most smut fungi infect relatively few hosts, but the host range of T. contraversa includes 65 species in 17 grass genera. The objective of this study was to incorporate sequence data from ITS rDNA, eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1-alpha (EF1-alpha), and the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB2) with three anonymous loci (A13, A16 and P18) to elucidate relationships and test the host range of the wheat bunt fungi and related Tilletia species infecting cool-season grasses in the Pacific Northwestern U.S. Sorus shape and teliospore size of 60 dwarf and common bunt isolates analyzed with k-means clustering revealed two groups, one largely corresponding to common bunt and the second to dwarf bunt. Network analysis based on three anonymous loci and RBP2 region revealed three clades, but none of the clades contained isolates of all three species. Phylogenetic analyses of the three anonymous loci, EF1-alpha, ITS rDNA v and RPB2 were used to test the conspecific status of Eurasian and North American isolates of T. contraversa infecting species of nine grass genera. Phylogenetic trees were reconstructed independently for RPB2/ITS/EF1-alpha and A16/P18/ITS/EF1-alpha loci. NeighborNet networks were estimated from A16/P18/ITS/EF1-alpha loci and compared with the NeighborNet networks constructed with “gene-jackknifing” method. All phylogenetic trees and networks suggested a wide host range for T. contraversa. The analyses failed to support dwarf bunt pathogen as genetically distinct from the common bunt pathogens, but Eurasian isolates of T. contraversa on Elymus repens and Thinopyrum intermedium were consistently placed in a clade distinct from the majority of T. contraversa isolates, suggesting that substructure exists among isolates in this group. In contrast to the broad host range supported for T. contraversa, phylogenetic analysis of Tilletia species on cool-season grasses based on ITS, EF1-alpha and RPB2 revealed well-supported clades corresponding to host. A new species, T. puccinelliae, was proposed for a bunt infecting Puccinellia distans (alkaligrass) in Washington. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................................... iii ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................................... v LIST OF TABLES ......................................................................................................................... ix LIST OF FIGURES ........................................................................................................................ x CHAPTER 1.

    report on RPD No. 121 PLANT June 1987 DEPARTMENT OF CROP SCIENCES DISEASE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN STINKING SMUT OR COMMON BUNT OF WHEAT Stinking smut or bunt is caused by three closely related species of fungi, Tilletia foetida, T. caries and T. contraversa. Only Tilletia foetida and T. caries occur in the Midwest. Both fungi have similar life cycles and may even occur together in a plant. Serious losses from these smut fungi have probably occurred since wheat was first cultivated by man. Stinking smut causes reduced wheat yields and grain quality by imparting a foul, fishy odor to the grain–making it unfit for milling. However, smut- infected wheat may be fed to all classes of livestock–including poultry–without ill effects. The two fungi also occasionally infect rye, wild barleys (Hordeum species), goatgrasses (Aegilops spp), wheatgrasses (Agropyron spp), and ryegrasses (Lolium spp). Stinking smut is generally distributed wherever wheat is grown in the world. In the United States it is most severe in the Pacific Northwest. In Illinois, data for 33 consecutive years show an average annual loss of approximately 3 percent caused by stinking smut of wheat. Losses of nearly 50 percent of the wheat heads to stinking smut have occurred in years favorable to infection. The prevalence of stinking smut varies greatly from year to year, depending on soil moisture and temperature conditions at the time the wheat seed is germinating and on whether the seed has been treated with a fungicide before sowing. Common bunt is less frequent and is usually less damaging in spring wheat than in winter wheat.

    Podsumowanie Analizy Zagrożenia Agrofagiem (Ekspres PRA) dla Tilletia indica Obszar PRA: Rzeczpospolita Polska Opis obszaru zagrożenia: Obszar całego kraju Główne wnioski Prawdopodobieństwo wniknięcia T. indica na teren PRA jest ściśle związane z importem zakażonego ziarna. Istnieje ryzyko zadomowienia się patogenu na obszarze PRA i wywoływania szkód w produkcji rolnej. W przypadku sprowadzania z miejsc, gdzie występuje choroba konieczne jest prowadzenie działań fitosanitarnych jak kontrola materiału nasiennego lub ziarna przeznaczonego na inne cele. Wskazane jest także zaniechanie importu w przypadku epidemii na nowym terenie lub z rejonów o silnym natężeniu infekcji. Sprowadzanie ziarna produkowanego poza obszarem występowania T. indica nie wymaga podejmowania specjalnych zabiegów fitosanitarnych. Wszelkie sygnały o obecności agrofaga powinny zostać poddane wnikliwej analizie, a zakażone rośliny lub materiał zniszczone. Ze względu na duże zdolności teliospor do przetrwania w niekorzystnych warunkach zwalczanie chemiczne lub płodozmian mogą okazać się nieskuteczne. Ryzyko fitosanitarne dla zagrożonego obszaru (indywidualna ranga prawdopodobieństwa wejścia, Wysokie Średnie X Niskie zadomowienia, rozprzestrzenienia oraz wpływu w tekście dokumentu) Poziom niepewności oceny: (uzasadnienie rangi w punkcie 18.

Abstract Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) is the most widespread invasive weed in sagebrush ecosystems of North America. Restoration of perennial vegetation is difficult and land managers have often used introduced bunchgrasses to restore degraded sagebrush communities. Our objective was to evaluate the potential of ‘Vavilov’ Siberian wheatgrass (Agropyron fragile [Roth] P. Candargy) to establish on cheatgrass-dominated sites. We examined Vavilov establishment in response to different levels of soil nitrogen availability by adding sucrose to the soil to promote nitrogen (N) immobilization and examined cheatgrass competition by seeding different levels of cheatgrass. We used a blocked split-split plot design with two sucrose levels (0 and 360 g ? m22), two levels of Vavilov (0 and 300 seeds ? m22), and five levels of cheatgrass (0, 150, 300, 600, and 1 200 seeds ? m22). Seeding was conducted in fall 2003 and 2004, and measurements were taken in June 2004, 2005, and 2006.
