Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Wheat leaves contained five named sterols and an unknown sterol comprising 75% to 80% of total sterols.
- Observation Stigmast-7-enol occurred in all infected wheat leaves and one of 11 healthy samples.
- Association Sterol levels were unrelated to wheat susceptibility or resistance.
- Association Stigmast-7-enol level in infected wheat leaves appeared correlated with fungal mass.
- Observation Stem rust uredospores contained trace unknown sterol, cholesterol and ergost-7-enol or stigmasterol, with more stigmast-7-enol.
- Observation Stigmast-7-enol tended to decrease after stem rust spore germination.
- Observation Sterol fractions from wheat leaves and stem rust spores were not phytotoxic.
- Intervention effect Sterol fractions did not inhibit rust development in susceptible wheat leaves.
- Intervention effect Sterol fractions did not promote rust development in resistant wheat leaves.
