Wandeler, Heiri Nentwig, Wolfgang Bacher, Sven 2008 An existing method to induce systemic rust infections in creeping thistles (Cirsium arvense) using an insect vector, the weevil Ceratapion onopordi, was successfully applied in the field. Urediniospores of Puccinia punctiformis were experimentally transmitted to naturally grown thistles, to our knowledge for the first time resulting in systemically infected shoots in an established thistle population. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/300615 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/300615/files/bacher_esr.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1080/09583150701727363 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Biocontrol Science and Technology. - 2008, vol. 18, no. 2, p. 209-214 biological weed control Ceratapion (=Apion) onopordi Cirsium arvense field experiment Puccinia punctiformis rust fungus systemic infection info:eu-repo/classification/udc/57 Establishing systemic rust infections in Cirsium arvense in the field http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
