Abstract
Abstract A description is provided for Sphacelotheca destruens . Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Panicum miliaceum (common millet) and other Panicum spp. and the weed Echinochloa crus-galli . Hybrid maize ( Zea mays ) has been experimentally infected (44: 2126). DISEASE: Head smut of common millet. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, N. and S. America; see CMI Map 219, 1951. TRANSMISSION: The disease is transmitted by seed (Noble et al., An annotated list of seed-borne diseases , p. 49, 1958) contaminated with spores. Spores have remained viable for eight years.
