Abstract
Sixty-one accessions of wild species, representing 5 sections of the genus Arachis, were tested under field and laboratory conditions for reaction to peanut rust (Puccinia arachidis) [an important disease of peanut, Arachis hypogaea]. Most of them were immune, 6 were highly resistant, and 2 were susceptible to the pathogen. Immunity to peanut occurred in all sections, but susceptibility occurred in only 1 of the 5 sections represented and in 1 sp. of a section of unknown affinity in the genus.Keywords
