fh# mechanism of' japradaotion off the pathogen Is such that new and

lence of a new moo depends upon the selection pressures provided by host
plants* The hop# of maintaining disease resistance la a crop then
depends upon the location and transfer of geues for '©row rust resistance
to ag-roaoadcally desirable varieties*
The most efficient and satisfactory method to attain this objective
\ would b© to eatalegua sour##* of resistances to specific races and to
determine the genetic factors carried by those sources as measured by

varieties based on a genetic analysis of segregating populations from

an analysis should yield information of mime la an oat improvement pro
