Abstract:
A variable breeding population of phalaris has been developed; it is resistant to stem and leaf rusts that attack Australian phalaris cultivars in Israel but that are not yet present in Australia. The population also is seed retaining and low in tryptatmine alkaloids. Seed is stored at CSIRO, Canberra.
