5 Known Hosts
Avena sativa
oat
No
No references found indicating seed is a pathway. There are only two reports that oat is a host for this pathogen (USDA ARS)
Hordeum vulgare
barley
No
No references found indicating seed is a pathway. Very few reports of barley being a host of this pathogen and is likely a minor host.
Secale cereale
rye
No
No references found indicating seed is a pathway.
Triticum aestivum
wheat
Yes
Seed contamination has been shown to affect seed quality and germination in laboratory tests. Transmission of the fungus was demonstrated, but only to cotyledon stage of the plant or was done with artificially inoculated plants. Reduction to seedling vigor has been demonstrated but seed borne inoculum appears insignificant in disease development.
Yes
Blotter test
This test has not been standardized or validated.
Fungicide seed treatments
Effectiveness varied with different fungicides and amount of fungicides applied. Resistant varieties are available.
Zea mays
corn
Not a host
No references found indicating seed is a pathway. Only one report of this fungus on corn from China (USDA ARS). There is no other evidence that corn is a host.
