New Theory on Rust Control in Wheat Emerges
University of Nebraska scientists led by Dr. J. M. Daly propose a theory that rust may cause loss of wheat resistance rather than fungi building resistance. The research, funded by the Nebraska Wheat Division, explores biochemical changes to target rust control chemicals and aid plant breeding. Daly notes temperature limits affect resistance and emphasizes the theory needs further proof and publication.
