Fig. ig6. — Wheal rust: an aecidium (clustercup) arising froni the mycelium of the barberry leaf, and showing the rows of aecidiospores. — After Chamberlain. same mycelium, was named Puccinia; and the form parasitic on the bar- berry was named Aecidium. Now the name Puccinia is retained for the plant, and the other names are used for convenience in designat- ing the respective stages. Not all rusts include two hosts in their life history, and it is usual to distinguish rusts as autoicous (those having one host) and heteroicous (those having more than one host). Alternation. — Recently the nuclear changes in the life history of wheat rust have been traced. In the«aecidium, the cell which produces a row of aecidiospores contains two nuclei, the second nucleus having entered it from an adjacent cell of the mycelium. In the subsequent cell divisions the two nuclei divide independently, so that each aecidiospore contains two nuclei. This binucleate condition con-.
