Leaf rust occurrence in European winter wheat varieties and breeding lines

Registration of Five Wheat Isogenic Lines for Leaf Rust and Stripe Rust Resistance Genes

We report here the release of four germplasm lines of hard red spring (HRS) wheat (T. aestivum L.) [Yecora Rojo Yr36– Gpc-B1 (Reg. no. GP-793, PI 638740), Yecora Rojo Lr47 (Reg. no. GP-791, PI 638738), Kern Lr47 (Reg. no. GP-792, PI 638739), and Anza Lr37/Yr17/Sr38 (Reg. no. GP-795, PI 638742)] and one durum wheat (T. turgidum L.) [UC1113 Yr36– Gpc-B1 (Reg. no. GP-794, PI 638741)], isogenic for...

Genome Wide Association Study of Seedling and Adult Plant Leaf Rust Resistance in Elite Spring Wheat Breeding Lines.

Leaf rust is an important disease, threatening wheat production annually. Identification of resistance genes or QTLs for effective field resistance could greatly enhance our ability to breed durably resistant varieties. We applied a genome wide association study (GWAS) approach to identify resistance genes or QTLs in 338 spring wheat breeding lines from public and private sectors that were pred...

Wheat leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina.

UNLABELLED Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, is the most common rust disease of wheat. The fungus is an obligate parasite capable of producing infectious urediniospores as long as infected leaf tissue remains alive. Urediniospores can be wind-disseminated and infect host plants hundreds of kilometres from their source plant, which can result in wheat leaf rust epidemics on a continental ...

Sterility in Winter Wheat: Review of Occurrence in Different Varieties and Possible Causes

Diversity of Resistance Gene Analogues in Rust Resistance and Susceptible Bread Wheat Varieties

Fungal diseases, especially leaf and stripe rusts are wheat yield reducing factors in Iran and the world. In this study, genetic diversity of 20 wheat varieties with different response to leaf and stripe rusts were studied using primers designed based on the conserved regions of plant disease resistance genes. The banding patterns of polymorphic markers were scored as dominant and number of amp...
