Probabilities of death of young slashpine infected byfusiform rustpathogen varied with timing and severity of infection. Trees in nine slashpineplantations varying widely in site quality and initial number oftreesperacre hadsimilarprobabilities ofdeathfrom rust. About 90% oftrees with stem infections in thejirst three growing seasons died by age 15 if the gall spanned more than 50% of the circu...

Eight cyperaceous Puccinia and Uromyces, viz. P. cariciola, P. conclusa, P. cyperi, P. eriophori, P. scirpi and Uromyces lineolatus subsp. lineolalus are reported as new to Iran. The uredinial stage of P. dioicae is reported as a new stage for this rust in Iran. Hosts new to P. eriophori are also given. Included is a key to the cyperaceous rust species in Iran.

Rust diseases remain a significant threat to the production of most cereals including wheat. New sources of resistance are continually sought by breeders to combat the emergence of new pathogen races. Rice is atypical in that it is an intensively grown cereal with no known rust pathogen. The resistance of rice to cereal rust diseases is referred to as nonhost resistance (NHR), a resistance mech...
