Tilletia caries on Triticum spp.

Tilletia caries is a seedborne cereal disease with a high multiplication potential. Instead of seeds, bunt kernels are formed which are filled with millions of stinking smut spores. The bunt spores are located on the outside of the grain, on the seed coat. Picture 1: A wheat seed beside a broken bunt kernel with dark brown spores. Picture 2: Dark brown bunt spores seen with the eye. Picture 3: Bunt spores caught in the hair of a wheat seed and on its surface.

Tilletia caries is a seedborne cereal disease with a high multiplication potential. Instead of seeds, bunt kernels are formed which are filled with millions of stinking smut spores. The bunt spores are located on the outside of the grain, on the seed coat. The bunt spores are thick-walled, globose spores with a net-like surface. The spores have a diameter of 14-25 µm and the colour is yellow-brown to dark brown. Picture 1 and 2: Spores of Tilletia caries, 400x magnification. Picture 3 and 4: Spores of Tilletia caries, 1000x magnification.
sterilisation: Washing Method ISTA Working Sheet No. 53 | plate size: 25mm diameter | agar: Cellulose nitrate filter ( Sartorius) |
