– Three forms rusts can affect wheat (all fungal forms)
Stem rustLeaf rustStripe rust

Uredospores are brown and oval
Each cell of teleutospore has one pore
Size is about 25-30x15-20µm
![Page 6: Diseases of Wheat](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548745a8b4af9f640d8b5333/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• SYMPTOMS:
Reddish brown pustules The large number of
uredosori burst, release their spores
Infected parts bursting to expose a mass of brown uredospores
Brownish appearance even from a distance
![Page 7: Diseases of Wheat](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548745a8b4af9f640d8b5333/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Favorable conditions
o Temperature: Between 23-25° C
o In this condition large number of teliospores are produced.
Alternate hostsBerberis, Mahonia and Mahoberberis

Leaf Rust (Brown or Orange Rust)
Pathogen: Puccinia recondita
The pathogen is macrocyclic rust.Uredospores are brown and spherical16-28um in diameter
![Page 9: Diseases of Wheat](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548745a8b4af9f640d8b5333/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• SYMPTOMS:
The black telial pustules are usually formed on the dorsal side of leaves
The pustules burst early with mild displacement of the host epidermis
And deeply embedded into the host.

Stripe Rust(yellow rust)Caused by: Puccinia striiformis
Uredospores are spherical to ovate in shape
Uredospores are orange colored.Size measuring from 23-35x20-
35µmTeleutospores are dark brown
and flattened at the top when in contact with the epidermis
![Page 11: Diseases of Wheat](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548745a8b4af9f640d8b5333/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Symptoms
appear early in the spring. Rust pustules are yellow. Spores are blown in
from warmer areas. Disease
development is most rapid under cool, wet weather.

Alternate hosts• Agropyron,• Bromus etc.
Favorable conditions
Temperature: 10-15 °C

Loose smut of Wheat
Pathogen: Ustilago tritici(=U. nuda tritici)
The teliospores are single celled and formed irregularly from fertile hyphae.
Teliospores are olivaceous brown, spherical to oval
Measures 5-9µm in diameter
![Page 15: Diseases of Wheat](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548745a8b4af9f640d8b5333/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SYMPTOMS: Can only be seen at the time of flowering though the plants are infected right after seed germination. Ears of infected one emerge early than healthy one. and transformed into black powdery mass Whole ear is covered by delicate silvery membrane. Resulting in formation of very dark olive brown powdery mass

• Kernel bunt
• Pathogen: Neovassia indica
Spores are smooth walled Measuring 22-49µm in diameter Requires long rusting period The primary sporadia are
needle shaped and flexible The secondary sporadia are
sickle shaped
![Page 17: Diseases of Wheat](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548745a8b4af9f640d8b5333/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• SYMPTOMS:
Plants ripen early than the healthy one
Ears are dark green The glues are pushed apart
by the spore balls which are formed instead of kernels

• POWDERY MILDEW
• Pathogen: Erysiphe graminis var. tritici
• The conidia are elliptical, hyaline, single celled, thin walled and produced in chains
• Fungus produce septate, superficial, hyaline mycelium on leaf surface with short conidiophores
![Page 19: Diseases of Wheat](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548745a8b4af9f640d8b5333/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• SYMPTOMS:
Greyish white powdery growth appears on leaf, sheath, stem and floral parts
Powdery growth later become black lesion and
Drying of leaves and Other parts
![Page 20: Diseases of Wheat](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548745a8b4af9f640d8b5333/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Fungus remains infected in plant debris as dormant mycelium
Favorable temperature is 20-21°C and High RH
![Page 21: Diseases of Wheat](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548745a8b4af9f640d8b5333/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• FOOT ROT
Pathogen: Pythium graminicolum and P. arrhenomanes
This fungus produces sporangia, zoospores and oospores.

• SYMPTOMS:
The disease mainly occurs in seedlings
Roots and rootlets become brown in color
Seedlings becomes pale green and have stunted growth
Wet weather and high rainfall is favorable
