CROWN RUST REACTION SUMMARIES
The
purpose of these two summary tables is 1) to put all crown rust reactions from
each appropriate test site (where crown rust was present) into a single table to
enable easier line comparisons, and 2) to highlight those lines which had
minimally acceptable levels of crown rust resistance at each of the test sites.
The latter group (a subgroup of all 80 lines) represents the best candidates for
more durable crown rust reactions. For now, we are forced to use geography to
substitute for time as we attempt to identify more durable (longer lasting)
resistance.
