Tranzschel’s law
Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-028639
Commonly a heteroecious, macrocyclic rust species has a correlated autoecious, microcyclic form that occurs only on the aecial host. In virtually all cases when this occurs, telia of the microcyclic form are found instead of aecia on the aecial host. This pattern has been formalized as Tranzschel’s Law (Cummins and Hiratsuka, 2003). It has been proven to be useful in confirming alternate hosts of those heteroecious rusts that have a correlated microcyclic form, because the teliospores are identical in the two forms.
