Abstract
AN isolate(WYR 69/10) of Puccinia striiformis Westend. (yellow rust) was collected from a crop of the winter wheat variety Maris Beacon in 1969 and found to represent a hitherto undescribed physiological race. This has been designated race 3/55D1 and as race 104E137 according to a new system of nomenclature2. Among the varieties susceptible at the seedling stage to this isolate were Maris Beacon and Joss Cambier. In field trials in 1970 and 1971 small scale epidemics of yellow rust were induced, using isolate WYR 69/10; Maris Beacon became heavily infected with yellow rust but very little infection developed on Joss Cambier.
