Abstract
An inducer race ofPuccinia striiformis inoculated two days before a challenger race on wheat seedlings of cv. Clement, reduced infection efficiency by 44% and lesion expansion by 7.7%; there was no effect on sporulation rate. In field epidemics, induced resistance restricted the disease intensity on cvs. Clement and Austerlitz in pure stands by 44% and 57% respectively. In the glasshouse at the seedling stage, disease intensity in a varietal mixture was reduced by 82% compared to the susceptible pure stands; one third of the total disease reduction was attributable to induced resistance.
