- Observation Podosporiella verticillata was isolated from single seeds in 13 wheat samples.
- 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.
