Abstract

Young wheat plants were fumigated with 170 μg m −3 ozone for 3 days, or with 210 μg m −3 ozone for 7 days, for 7 hours a day. At the end of the fumigation period the plants were inoculated with brown rust ( Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici) uredospores. The development of new uredospore pustules on fumigated and control plants was evaluated as a measure of rust disease potential. The number of pustules on the ozone fumigated plants was greatly reduced in comparison with the number of plants treated with charcoal-filtered air.
