| Abstract: | Abstract Plants of susceptible and resistant varieties were inoculated with the brown rust pathogen Puccinia recondita. Rust reduced the average plant height, weight of grain, volume of grain and yield of susceptible varieties compared with healthy controls. Two varieties, Lerma Rojo and E.871 were resistant and are recommended for use in further hybridisation work. |
