THE HIBERNATION OF RUSTS

Abstract

The report contains a study of typical wheat rusts: Puccinia glumarum, P. triticina, and P. graminis. Their propagation through time has been attributed to spores of the winter type -- teleutospores; and their propagation in space was believed to be carried out by spores of the summer type -- urediospores. With this concept the possibility of the hibernation of the urediospores is considered as a secondary vital function tightly connected to circumstances of incidental nature.
