Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation The Triticum pathotype of Magnaporthe oryzae (MoT) mainly infects wheat heads.
- Observation Wheat blast symptoms closely resemble Fusarium head blight.
- Intervention effect Fungicides have shown limited efficacy against wheat blast.
- Observation Some strains of the closely related Lolium pathotype, which causes gray leaf spot of turf grasses, already infect wheat.
- Observation The recent appearance of wheat blast in Bangladesh demonstrates the threat of global spread.
- Recommendation Wheat blast management requires identification of new resistance sources and a complete understanding of MoT ecology and wheat blast epidemiology.
