Vladimir Andreevich Tranzschel (
Russian: Владимир Андреевич траншель) (January16 [
O.S. January4] 1868 – January21, 1942) was a Russian and later Soviet
botanist,
mycologist and
plant pathologist, especially an expert on
rust fungi.
He is particularly known for Tranzschel's Law, that states that
telia of
microcyclic species of
rust fungi that are descendants of
macrocyclic,
heteroecious rusts simulate
aecia of the ancestral
macrocyclic rust and occur on the
aecial host of the latter.[3] Tranzschel devised his law to assists in identification of the aecial host of a suspected
heteroecious rust by looking for hosts attacked by a microcyclic rust with morphologically similar telia to the former. Modern evolutionary thinking about
rust fungi and
molecular investigations have confirmed its validity
