WASHINGTON, D.C. Sci entists from the world’s leading research center for com and wheat announced a victory in combatting "leaf rust,” a blight that has been a scourge of wheat since Ancient Roman times. Wheat is the world’s second most important food crop and is grown on more acres of land than any other cereal.

The Brazilian wheat’s resistance has been found to provide long-term defense against the disease even though it can change form and attack repeatedly. The development could have important implications for U.S. wheat farmers, particular ly in Kansas and northern Oklaho ma, where the winter wheat crop has recently suffered a major assault by the disease. “After more than two decades of research in the field, we’ve finally beaten leaf rust without the use of deadly chemicals,” said “Some 10 million acres of wheat harvested in the region suf fered an average yield loss of 15 percent, and some fields lost as much as 30 percent of their crop,” said Roelfs. This amounts to an estimated loss of $9O million for the region’s farmers.

However, with chang ing weather patterns and resulting mild winters, these wheal crops are now in peril. “Although the cure is at hand, much work needs to be done to install leaf-rust resistance into wheat worldwide and permanent ly remove it as an economic threat,” said CIMMYT’s Winkel mann. “This can only be done through systematic breeding pro grams and agricultural coopera tion among countries around the world.” CIMMYT is distrubuting the leaf rust-resistant wheat to farmers and scientists in more than 100 countries as part of its internation al testing network, which annually sends out one million packets of seeds. Other CIMMYT wheats provide protection against a range of diseases, drought, and toxic soils. CIMMYT is a nonprofit, scien tific research and training organi zation headquartered in El Batan, Mexico,
