| Triticale | Wheat | Rye | |
| B.g. f.sp. ‘triticale’ (n = 35) | +++ | ++ | − |

a + indicates infection, − indicates no infection; a higher amount of + corresponds to a higher aggressiveness. Aggressiveness is interpreted here both as a quantitative and qualitative component of pathogenicity. Quantitatively as a higher amount of colonies with well developed hyphae and abundant conidia. Qualitatively as more isolates which are able to infect a particular host or cultivar.
b Number in parenthesis indicates the number of isolates from each source host that were used in this experiment.
