Description:
Mutant plants appear extremely susceptible to infection by loose smut, Ustilago nuda (Jensen) Rostr. Spikes of infected sun1.a plants become entirely smutted under field conditions at Pullman, WA, USA, an environment where loose smut infection is rare (1). The occurance of infected plants is much more frequent in seed lots from sun1.a plants than in those from other susceptible cultivars (1).
