F1 hybrid cultures between Erysiphe graminis f.sp. agropyri (wheatgrass mildew fungus) and E. graminis f.sp. tritici (wheat mildew fungus) were produced by using a common host of the two formae spéciales. When three common wheat cultivars, Triticum aestivum cv. Norin 4, T. aestivum cv. Norin 10, and T. compactum cv. No. 44, were inoculated with a population of F1 cultures, avirulent and virulent cultures segregated in a 3:1 ratio. This indicated that two major genes are involved in the avirulence of E. graminis f.sp. agropyri, Ak-1, on each of the three cultivars. Further analyses revealed that the three pairs of avirulence genes have one gene in common. On T. aestivum cv. Shin-chunaga, T. aestivum cv. Norin 26, and a strain of T. macha, the F1 population segregated in the same pattern as on T. aestivum cv. Norin 4, indicating that the same pair of avirulence genes is operating on these four cultivars. On T. aestivum cv. Red Egyptian the distribution of F1 phenotypes was continuous, suggesting that no major genes are involved in the avirulence of Ak-1 on this cultivar.Key words: powdery mildew, Erysiphe graminis, avirulence, wheat, wheatgrass.

The progress of infection in leaves of wheat (Triticum aestivum), rye (Secale cereale), wheatgrass (Agropyron tsukushiense), barley (Hordeum vulgare), and oat (Avena sativa) inoculated with Erysiphe graminis f.sp. tritici, secalis, agropyri, and hordei was observed using a fluorescence microscope. Relative compatibility of each host–parasite combination was estimated by the incidence of cell wall penetration. Formae speciales tritici, secalis, and agropyri were highly compatible with any accession of wheat, rye, and wheatgrass, but less compatible with barley. On the other hand, f.sp. hordei was highly compatible with any of these four hosts. The four formae speciales had very low compatibility with oat, although f.sp. hordei was relatively more compatible with this host. These results suggested that (i) f.sp. tritici, secalis, and agropyri are phylogenetically very close; (ii) f.sp. hordei is less close to f.sp. tritici, secalis, and agropyri, and closer than these to the ancestral form of E. graminis; (iii) f.sp. avenae is remote from f.sp. tritici, secalis, agropyri, and hordei, but relatively less remote from f.sp. hordei than from the other three formae speciales.

Isozyme characteristics were examined for eight enzyme systems in five 50-tree populations of balsam poplar (Populusbalsamifera L.) collected at longitude 90°W, from latitudes 45 to 55°N. Fifty-four percent of the trees were polymorphic at one or more loci, and 8 of the 17 loci examined were polymorphic in one or more populations. Average heterozygosity was low (0.037) and varied little among populations (0.025–0.043). No significant departure of multilocus genotypic proportions from those expected under random mating was observed. Genetic distances and F-statistics indicated that there is little genetic differentiation among populations in terms of the observed enzyme systems.

Soluble proteins extracted from germinating urediniospores of 11 different species of Puccinia Pers. and from three formae spéciales of each of 3 of these species were subjected to starch gel electrophoresis and the resultant isozyme banding patterns compared.Isozyme patterns obtained for the 11 different species showed considerable differentiation between species, indicating that all species were distinct taxonomic entities. Patterns obtained for the formae speciales were, in general, much more similar and suggested relationships which agree with existing knowledge from taxonomic and fertility studies.
