Answer:
Smuts only target grains, whereas bunts only attack spikes and spikelets.
Explanation:
- Smut is a plant disease that mostly affects grasses, such as corn (maize), wheat, sugarcane, and sorghum, and is brought on by several fungal species. Fungal spores that gather in soot-like masses called sori, which grow inside blisters in seeds, leaves, stems, floral parts, and bulbs, are what give smut its name.
- Numerous smut fungi penetrate embryos or seedling plants, develop systemically, and don't show up on the outside until the plants are almost fully grown.
- Typically, a wheat bunt infection is only discovered after harvest because of the grain's overpowering, fishy putrid odor. Bunt balls, which are grains of wheat that have been replaced by a mass of foul bunt spores, can be seen when seed is examined more closely.
