Abstract

Rust resistance was shown to be highly heritable, and most genetic variance was shown to be additive. Thus, selection of rust-resistant parents should be effective in producing resistant progeny. Crosses between susceptible parents are rejected by the Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations computerised system for choosing crosses, and this strategy has resulted in the planting of very few crosses with high rust susceptibility.
