Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation The fungus had not previously been reported in Canada.
- Observation Naturally infected wheat seed did not germinate.
- Intervention effect Artificial inoculation of mature cereal seeds left germination unimpaired and produced healthy plants.
- Intervention effect Inoculation of developing wheat kernels led to failed germination or stunted seedlings after moist incubation.
- Intervention effect Inoculation of developing oat panicles led to failed germination or stunted seedlings after moist incubation.
- Mechanism The authors attributed seedling injury to a fungal toxin.
- Recommendation The fungus is unlikely to be economically important in western Canada.
