Triticum monococcum L.
A fungal disease of einkorn wheat caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici. The crop serves as an important source of resistance genes, designated by the Pm index.
In the reference 4 varieties crop Einkorn wheat, where this is mentioned in the description.
The causal agent of powdery mildew on Triticum monococcum is the specialized fungus Blumeria graminis (DC.) Speer f. sp. tritici. The disease manifests as whitish powdery spots on leaves and leaf sheaths, which eventually thicken, acquire a gray hue, and develop fruiting bodies. The plant responds to the infection by expressing defense genes associated with the synthesis of peroxidases and methyl groups.
Einkorn wheat serves as a valuable genetic reservoir for wheat breeding for immunity to the pathogen. Known resistance genes in this crop include TmPm3, Pm72, PmTb7A.1, PmTb7A.2, as well as the gene Pm37 (PmNCA6). Einkorn populations exhibit high polymorphism for the resistance trait, ranging from complete susceptibility to pronounced immunity to various fungal isolates.
