| Abstract: | Apothecia of Tapesia yallundae are reported for the first time in the UK. They were observed on decaying stems and leaf sheaths of unharvested wheat near Bristol in January 1989. Isolates from single ascospores produced cultures typical of the W-type form of the anamorph, Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides . Pathogenicity on wheat was confirmed by inoculation and re-isolation from glasshouse-grown wheat seedlings. |
