Breeding for Rust Resistance in Daylilies: Part 11
This installment will offer a list of links to websites, as well as a couple of books and a movie, that I think are of value in learning more about daylily rust, breeding for resistance to diseases in plants and plant rusts in general. This is not a complete list. There are many more sources of information on rust, breeding and genetics and the Puccinia genera. I would encourage anyone interested in any of these subjects to constantly research. New information can emerge at any moment.
