Abstract
Loose and covered smut, and stem and crown rust are among the most destructive diseases of oats (Avena spp.). These diseases, caused by the pathogens Ustilago avenae (Pers.) Jens., U. levis (Kell, and Sw.) Magn., Puccinia graminis avenae Erikss. and Henn., and P. coranata avenae Corda, respectively, result in heavy annual losses both in yield and quality of grain. Frequently heavy losses are incurred from the rusts, which occur in epidemic form over large areas. The inheritance of reaction to the smuts and rusts of oats and its relation to other characters have been studied by a number of investigators. Such information is of great value to the plant breeder in developing strains of oats highly resistant to the major diseases and possessing desirable agronomic characters. The present study reports the results of experiments on the mode of inheritance of stem and crown rust and smut reaction in several oat crosses. In the cross Iowa No. 444 X Bond the mode of inheritance of certain kernel characters was investigated as well as the possible relation of these characters to smut and rust reaction.
