Interactions of Puccinia striiformis and Mycosphaerella graminicola on wheat by Ricardo Burrows Madariaga A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Pathology Montana State University © Copyright by Ricardo Burrows Madariaga (1984) Abstract: Puccinia striiformis and Mycosphaerella graminicola are frequently found attacking the same wheat leaf. The effect of one pathogen upon the other, and the effects of the interactions between pathogens upon the host-pathogen interactions are the subjects of these studies. Seedlings of four spring wheat cultivars were inoculated at different time combinations of P. striiformis and graminicola. In susceptible cul tivars, inoculations with both pathogens resulted in similar host tissue damage to the damage obtained by inoculation with each organism separately. The hypersensitive cultivar Anza responded in the same way to inoculation with M. graminicola regardeless or whether or not P. striiformis was present. Data from field plots inoculated with M. graminicola and naturally infected with P. striiformis confirmed data obtained in the glasshouse and growth chamber. A smaller amount of leaf area was damaged by P. striiformis when both pathogens were present than when this pathogen was present alone. Caution is needed in reading plants for stripe rust if septoria tritici blotch is present. Wheat leaves infected by P. striiformis remained green longer and were heavier than leaves infected by both pathogens. This may have been due to the sequestering effect known to be characteristic of rusts. It is possible than M. graminicola interferred with the redirection of translocation of assimilates that is a usual effect of rust.
