Extract

1. Observations have been made of the seedling reactions of species of Triticum and Aegilops and of amphidiploids between them to races of Puccinia glumarum, P. triticina, P. graminis and Erysiphe graminis. These observations have been compared with field observations on mature plants. The work on P. graminis and much of that on P. triticina was carried out by Dr R. C. McGinnis of the Dominion Rust Research Laboratories, Winnipeg, Canada.

2. Seedling and mature plant resistance to P. glumarum has been found in Triticum monococcum, Aegilops caudata and A. ovata. Resistance was not shown by amphidiploids of T. monococcum and A. caudata with susceptible species of Triticum, but was shown by some amphidiploids involving A. ovata; T. timopheevi and A. speltoides were susceptible to certain races as seedlings but resistant as mature plants in the field.

3. Seedling resistance to all the races of P. triticina used in these investigations was shown by A. caudata and resistance to certain races by certain other species. Amphidiploids involving A. caudata were resistant to all races, but other amphidiploids were resistant to some races and susceptible to others.

4. Seedling and mature plant resistance to P. graminis was shown by A. caudata. A. ovata and A. speltoides were resistant as mature plants, and only slightly infected as seedlings. None of the amphidiploids tested was completely resistant at the seedling stage; certain amphidiploids involving these three species were, however, only slightly infected as mature plants, and may be useful as sources of resistance to race 15B.

5. Resistance to E. graminis was shown by T. carthlicum, T. dicoccum, T. timopheevi and by numerous species of Aegilops. Amphidiploids of T. carthlicum, T. dicoccum, T. timopheevi and A. caudata with diploid wheat species were resistant to E. graminis, but those with susceptible tetraploid wheats were susceptible. Other intergeneric amphidiploids (with two exceptions) were resistant.
