Abstract

---

Changes in dry matter composition and nucleic acid content of a wheat leaves after increased both in rust infected and fungicide-treated leaves. Fungicidal treatment had little effect on dry weight basis. No significant changes occurred in plant moisture content (PMC) whereas a substancial increase in dry matter content was observed in infected and fungicide – treated leaves . increase in RNA and DNA contents were evident 2 days after inoculation (DAI) and remained high throughout the period of investigation.
