Abstract
Pycnidia of S. tritici in leaves of moderately-resistant wheat [Triticum aestivum] cultivar TAM W-101 and susceptible cultivars Improved Triumph and Triumph 64 liberated 2.0-2.5 times more pycnidiospores per pycnidium than did pycnidia in leaves of resistant cultivar Oasis. This relationship of pycnidiospore liberation to disease reaction class of the cultivar occurred whether plants were incubated in a greenhouse or a growth chamber. However, the average pycnidium produced in a growth chamber released about twice as many pycnidiospores as the average pycnidium produced in a greenhouse regardless of cultivar.
