Data on contrasting sensitivities to seasonal warming among co-occurring diseases
Year: 2025
Type: dataset
Abstract: The included data provide observational and experimental information on the temperature sensitivities of the fungal pathogens, Microbotryum silenes-inflatae (anther smut) and Thecaphora melandrii (receptacle smut), when affecting the host plant, Silene vulgaris. The data show counts of plants observed in natural populations of numbers of plants that displayed the smut diseases caused by the two fungi or were healthy, recorded in spring, summer or fall seasons. Also included are data on the disease symptoms of infected plants experimentally exposed to summer-time temperatures, data on disease symptoms of plants inoculated in the field under summertime temperatures, and data on disease symptoms of plants inoculated under growth chamber conditions matching summertime or spring/fall temperatures. The data can be used in manners that comply with a CC0 license waiver, including to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the material in any medium or format, with no conditions. There were no legal or ethical considerations related to the data collection.
