Excerpt from Specialization and Hybridization of Wheat Stem Rust, Puccinia Graminis Tritici, in Canada
As the determination of physiologic forms is not an end in itself. But is rather a means for the attainment of other objectives, it seemed desirable to include in this paper also a discussion of the practical importance of physiologic forms in relation to plant breeding and agronomic problems. In this connection may be mentioned the role played by these forms in determining the rust resistance of wheat varieties, their use in studies on the genetics of rust resistance, and the value of physiologic-form survey-s in explaining Certain facts relating to the development of rust epiphytotics.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This comprehensive book explores the identification, distribution, evolution, and significance of physiological forms of Puccinia graminis tritici, the fungus that causes stem rust of wheat. The author delves into the historical significance of this fungus, detailing the discovery of physiological forms and the development of methods to identify them. It examines the distribution of these forms in Canada, focusing on factors that limit their prevalence and spread. The author also discusses the genetic basis of physiological specialization and explores the implications of hybridization in Puccinia graminis. Through the examination of physiological forms, the book highlights the complex parasitic behaviour of fungi and its impact on plant resistance. This book provides valuable insights for plant pathologists, agronomists, and researchers seeking to understand the nature and control of stem rust of wheat.
