Subject(s):

In: Nature v. 173, p. p 827Summary: JOHNSON1 reported that DDT (dichlorodiphenyl-trichloroethane) affected the metabolism of Khapli wheat so that the seedling leaves became susceptible to a race of Puccinia graminis var. tritici to which they are normally resistant. The response to DDT was highly specific, as only one other of the resistant wheats tested (Arnautka) showed any indication of susceptibility consequent on spraying.
