4.Basic Information Chinese name. Wheat dwarf smut fungus. Scientific name. Tilletiacontroversa J.G.Kühn. Taxonomic classification. Kingdom Fungi, Phylum Basidiomycota, Subphylum Ustilaginomycotina, Class Exobasidiomycetes (Exobasidiomycetes), Tiletiales, Tiletiaceae, Tilletia. Information on hosts, distribution, etc. can be found in Appendix A.
5 Identification Principles
5.1 Judgment Criteria The morphological characteristics, autofluorescence microscopic features, and germination physiology of the teliospores of this pathogen differ from those of other smut fungi, making it a key differentiator. The criteria for identifying the pathogen.
5.2 Morphological characteristics of teliospores The teliospores are stellate, elliptical, or irregular in shape, with reticulate ornamentation and a colorless to pale-colored gelatinous sheath, with a diameter (including the gelatinous sheath) of The micrometer diameter of teliospores ranges from 16.80 µm to 32.19 µm, typically from 18 µm to 24 µm; the optimal temperature for teliospore germination is 2°C to 8°C. During germination, promycelium is formed. (Basidiospores) produce primary microspores (basidiospores) at their apex. After "H"-shaped mating, the primary microspores produce crescent-shaped secondary microspores. The net ridge height value is the teliospore of *Tilletiacaries*, a close species of wheat dwarf smut. The most important distinguishing feature is that the former has a ridge height value (mean ± standard deviation) of 1.43 µm ± 0.14 µm, while the latter has 0.53 µm ± 0.19 µm. When the ridge height value of a certain teliospore is greater than the critical ridge height index value of 0.95 µm, it is considered to be a teliospore of wheat dwarf smut. Spores smaller than or equal to 0.95 µm are considered to be teliospores of the wheat net smut fungus.
5.3 Microscopic characteristics of autofluorescence in teliospores Under excitation by an excitation filter at 485 nm and a barrier filter at 520 nm, teliospores of wheat dwarf smut can be produced within 3 minutes. Self-fluorescence, a characteristic not found in its similar species, wheat smut.
5.4 Physiological characteristics of teliospore germination The teliospores of *Triticum aestivum*, the causal agent of wheat dwarf smut, germinate at 5°C but not at 17°C, while the teliospores of *Triticum aestivum*, the causal agent of wheat netted smut, germinate at both 5°C and 17°C. All of them can germinate.

9 Experimental Procedure
9.1 Weighing the sample Weigh out 50g of the mixed sample as the test sample.
9.2 Examination of bacterial galls If galls of the smut fungus are found, scrape off a small amount of teliospore powder, add an appropriate amount of Shear's solution, and examine under a microscope for preliminary examination. If wheat dwarfism is suspected... The height of the reticulate ridges of 30 mature teliospores of the smut fungus was randomly measured.
9.3.1 Washing and centrifugation
9.3.1.1 Add water Pour the test sample into a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask that has been sterilized by dry heat (165°C,
10.1.1 Or 10.1.2)
10.1.1 Microscopic identification method The morphology of teliospores is shown in Appendix A. Each teliospore was visualized by aligning it vertically and horizontally on the microscope monitor screen (or using an eyepiece micrometer). The height of four ridges was measured mechanically, and the average ridge height was calculated. This average ridge height was then used to represent the ridge height of the teliospore. Identification. If a gall is found, the average ridge height of 30 randomly measured mature teliospores should also be obtained.
10.1.2 Scanning Electron Microscopy Identification Method
10.1.2.1 Sample Preparation Perform the operation according to the sample preparation requirements of the selected scanning electron microscope.
10.1.2.2 Gluing the platform Use conductive double-sided tape to attach the dried sample to the sample stage.
10.1.2.3 Coating A metal film is sprayed onto the surface of the sample and sample stage to increase the sample's conductivity. Metals used for coating include gold, platinum, palladium, and silver. After coating, the product is observed.
10.1.2.4 Microscopic examination and measurement Follow the operating instructions for the scanning electron microscope instrument software. Examine at least five samples from each sample, ensuring all samples are examined within the field of view. Look. If suspected teliospores of wheat dwarf smut are found, randomly measure the height of the ridges of 10 to 30 mature teliospores and calculate the average ridge height. Ridge height value. If the number of teliospores is insufficient, increase the number of samples to be tested.
10.2 Autofluorescence Microscopic Identification Method for Teliospores
10.2.1 Production Scrape a small amount of teliospore powder from the gall onto a clean glass slide, add an appropriate amount of distilled water to prepare a teliospore suspension (concentration 10×100). (It is advisable to keep no more than 40 teliospores per field of view under magnification), and place them in a dust-free place to dry naturally. Then, collect the dried teliospores that have adhered to the slide. Add a drop of non-fluorescent microscope objective lens oil to the lens, cover with a coverslip, and then add the lens oil mentioned above.
10.2.2 Selecting the Filter Set The prepared slide was placed on an epifluorescence universal microscope with an excitation filter of 485 nm and a barrier filter of 520 nm.
10.2.3 Timing and Counting Determine the observation field and start timing simultaneously. After irradiating each field for
2.5 minutes, begin examining for positive and negative autofluorescence reactions. The required number of teliospores. The entire process should not exceed 3 minutes.
10.2.4 Calculate the percentage of autofluorescence At least 5 fields of view and.200 teliospores were observed in each gall sample. The percentage of teliospores showing positive autofluorescence was then calculated. This percentage represents the autofluorescence rate of the gall for identification.
10.3 Physiological Identification Methods for Teliospore Germination
10.3.1 Making a flat plate After being sterilized by conventional autoclaving and cooled to about 50°C, 3% water agar was poured into 9cm diameter petri dishes, 20mL per dish. When making flat plates, it is necessary to prevent the formation of surface water flow.
10.3.2 Coating Plate Take a portion of the gall and add an appropriate amount of sterile distilled water to prepare a teliospore suspension, which is then evenly spread onto a water agar plate. The concentration of the teliospore suspension... The optimal magnification is 40 to 60 teliospores per field of view at low magnification (10×10).
10.3.3 Cultivation Plates coated with teliospores were placed under continuous (or alternating with 12-hour darkness) light conditions at 5°C±1°C and 17°C±1°C. nourish.
10.3.4 Observation and Observation Time Observe the germination of teliospores under a microscope (10×10). The first observation can be taken after 10 days of culture, and thereafter every 3 to 7 days. Observe the germination of teliospores once and calculate the germination rate.
11 Result Evaluation
