Effect of sudden fluctuations of temperature on sporulation of Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici.
Six races of Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici were grown on detached leaves of Agra Local wheat and RS 6 barley. On both hosts each race grew and sporulated better when kept at one set of temperature conditions (25 degrees C for 24 hrs + 15 degrees C for 48 hrs + 20 degrees C for 20 days) than at another (25 degrees C for 24 hrs + 15 degrees C for 20 days).
