Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation GZ3639 caused typical head scab and spread to neighboring spikelets.
- Observation GZT40 colonized only the inoculated floret and produced atypical symptoms.
- Intervention effect DON advanced GZT40 colonization by 2 to 4 days.
- Intervention effect DON enabled GZT40 to spread 1-3 spikelets.
- Intervention effect DON shortened GZ3639 floret colonization by 1 to 2 days.
- Intervention effect DON raised diseased spikelets to 100% versus 78% with GZ3639 alone.
- Mechanism Trichothecenes were concluded to be key to symptoms and spread.
