Summary
-
(1)
The previously established fact thatTakase's geneRb, internationallyR 4, conferred a weaker resistance than that conferred by geneRa, internationallyR 1, was ascertained withBlack's geneR 4, especially on tubers.
-
(2)
It was disclosed by careful examination of necrotic responses thatBlack's geneR 4 is identical withTakase's geneRb, not only in respect to its specificity to races of the fungus but also as concerns inferior reaction.
