LetgenPro|Real Time PCR Kit 300 rxn (Tilletia controversa)

Tilletia controversa is a fungal pathogen that affects plants, particularly soft white and hard red winter wheat varieties, causing a disease known as TCK smut. This fungus hampers the growth of the infected wheat and produces smut balls in the grain heads. When these grains are processed, the smut balls release a fishy smell, which negatively impacts the quality of the resulting flour.
