Comparisons of isolates of the take-all fungus, Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici, from different cereal sequences using DNA probes and non-molecular methods
Bateman, Geoffrey L.; Ward, Elaine; Hornby, D.; Gutteridge, R. J. (1997-08)A mitochondrial ribosomal DNA probe (pEG34) that distinguishes two main restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) types of isolate of the take-all fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici was used to compare ... -
Effects of root-infecting fungi on structure and function of cereal roots
Hornby, D.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (Cambridge University Press, 1981) -
Effects of root-infecting fungi on wheat transport processes and growth
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Hornby, D. (1978)Aurtobasidium bolleyi and Gaeumannomyces graminis damaged transport processes and decreased shoot growth of sand-grown wheat plants only if they colonized the stele and disrupted the phloem of most roots. One week after ... -
Gibellina cerealis, an unusual pathogen of wheat
Glynne, M.D.; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Hornby, D. (1985)The numbers of wheat plants infected by Gibellina cerealis in a long-term wheat and fallow experiment were recorded annually from 1935 to 1978. Infected plants were few in number and generally widely separated. Overall, ... -
Use of triple-labelled nutrient solution to study the effects of root-infecting fungi on uptake of potassium, calcium and phosphorus by wheat
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Smith, G.J.; Hornby, D. (1982)Triple-labelled nutrient solution was used to compare the effects of seven root-infecting fungi on uptake of K, Ca and P by wheat. Plants grown in sand or hydroponic culture were transferred to solutions that contained42K,45Ca ...
