The filiform basidiospores fuse in the middle with a basidiospore of the other mating type so that H-shaped structures are formed [...] wheat. Damage symptoms Plantsinfected by Tilletia tritici and Tilletia laevis are hard to distinguish from infected plants before head emergence, although affected

• Leaf stripe

  temperature during seedling emergence is critical for infection. Soil temperatures below 12 °C are most conducive for this disease and infection does not occur [...] first, second and third leaf and subsequently on other leaves. Yellow stripes are formed at the base of the leaf and the leaf sheath. They gradually extend [...] The leaf splits at the end which makes it look shredded. This is typical for this disease. Infected plants may be stunted and heads may be distorted and

• Fusarium head blight or scab

  conidia are produced that further spread the disease. Gibberella zeae (Fusarium graminearum ) primarily infects the older, lower leaves. The spores are dispersed [...] Fusarium is widespread and can infect a range of host crops. Many species are considered weak pathogens and can only infect wounded or stressed host plants [...] general, most Fusarium specieshave a similar life cycle. Fusarium overwinters for many years in the soil and on crop residues of infected plants as chlamydospores

• Early blight

  infection of the leaves. Survival can be several years, up to eight years for several Alternaria spp. Typically, Alternaria causes early blight of potato [...] These spots can be distinguished by the dark and brown concentric rings that are caused by sporulation. Species may differ in specific symptoms. Damage symptoms [...] halo restricted by leaf veins. Lesions can easily rupture. Other symptoms are brown lesions on stem and foot. On fruits, dark sunken, leathery lesions occur
