A Study in Cereal Rusts; Physiological Races: A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Minnesota (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Rust science and the history of host adaptation explain how wheat resists—or yields to—disease.
In this scholarly work, Elvin C. Stakman surveys how cereal rusts adapt to different hosts and how resistant wheats can be developed. The book traces the idea of biologic forms and physiological races, showing how rust fungi specialize and how environment and biology shape infection.
- Learn the long history of rust forms and how scientists first recognized distinct parasitic tendencies.
- See how experiments compare aecidial and uredospore infections on resistant wheat varieties.
- Discover how weather, soil nutrients, and plant metabolism influence rust prevalence and virulence.
- Understand the practical aims of breeding for rust resistance and the challenges in breaking down specialization.
