Extract

The problem of immunity to disease in plants is now receiving a large amount of attention from plant-pathologists. It has long been known that different varieties of the same species of plant may differ in their susceptibility to the attacks of fungi and possibly other parasites, but even now practically nothing is known of the factors which determine whether a plant will prove immune to a disease or not. The following paper is a record of investigations which it was hoped would contribute something towards the solution of this problem, or which might at least suggest lines of further research on this subject.
