Leaves
Long grey raised streaks on the leaves, shafts and stems. Affected leaves are twisted and split lengthwise. (3)
Seed
At maturity smutted heads can be seen, grey brown bunts replacing the grain, the balls forcing the glumes apart. Premature bleaching of a section or all of a head. Pink and orange fungal strands appear over the head. Infected areas are most often sterile. Seeds are shrivelled and have a pinkish colour. (3)
