Abstract
THE greater tolerance of rusted (uredinial stage of Uromyces phaesoli on Phaseolus vulgaris var. ‘Pinto’) than healthy bean tissue to heat has been reported1. This study shows that with a properly chosen age of infection, heat dosage and period in darkness, rusted plants may outyield healthy plants, and may survive when healthy plants are killed by the same heat dosage (Fig. 1).
