Abstract
Nicotiana tabacum L., cultivated tobacco, is one of 65 species in the genusNicotiana. Over the past 30 years, varying numbers of the species have been included in tests of resistance to tobacco diseases by research workers in tobacco-producing areas throughout the world. This report summarizes these investigations in tabular form and discusses methods whereby interspecific transfer of disease resistance may be accomplished.
