Genetics of Resistance to Wheat Leaf Rust1
نویسنده
چکیده
Leaf rust (caused by Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici) is the most widespread and regularly occurring rust on wheat. Genetic resistance is the most economical method of reducing yield losses due to leaf rust. To date, 46 leaf rust resistance genes have been designated and mapped in wheat. Resistance gene expression is dependent on the genetics of host-parasite interaction, temperature conditions, plant developmental stage, and interaction between resistance genes with suppressors or other resistance genes in the wheat genomes. Genes expressed in seedling plants have not provided long-lasting effective leaf rust resistance. Adult-plant resistance genes Lr13 and Lr34 singly and together have provided the most durable resistance to leaf rust in wheat throughout the world. Continued efforts to isolate, characterize, and map leaf rust resistance genes is essential given the ability of the leaf rust fungus to overcome deployed resistance genes.

Relationship between leaf stages and epistasis for resistance to Stagonospora nodorum in durum wheat
Ten varieties and eight generations (2F1, 2F2, 2B1 and 2B2) of durum wheat derived from two crosses were evaluated for resistance to natural infection by Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB) at the 2-3 and 6-7 leaf stages at two sites over two years. There were significant differences in the incidence of SNB between leaf stages in most of the wheat varieties, with resistance being most evident at ...

Physiological studies indicated that flag leaf has high contribution in wheat grain yield. In addition, number, distribution, and morphology of stomatal characteristics are important traits in the drought resistance and adaptation of wheat cultivars to fluctuating CO2 levels. A complete set of diallel crosses among seven durum wheat lines were used to study of genetic parameters of stomatal and...
متن کاملGenetics of leaf rust resistance in spring wheat cultivars alsen and norm.
ABSTRACT Alsen is a recently released spring wheat cultivar that has been widely grown in the United States because it has resistance to Fusarium head blight and leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina. Norm is a high yielding wheat cultivar that has been very resistant to leaf rust since it was released. Alsen and Norm were genetically examined to determine the number and identity of the leaf r...
متن کاملA review of wheat leaf rust research and the development of resistant cultivars in Canada
Wheat leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks., is of worldwide concern for wheat producers. The disease has been an annual problem for Canadian wheat producers since the early days of wheat cultivation in the 1800s, and research focused on combating this disease began in the early 1900s. Significant progress was made towards understanding the epidemiology of wheat leaf rust and developin...
