Accession 8404 of Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides was shown to have excellent resistance to leaf rust. Genetic analysis of the F3 of 8404 and RL6089, a leaf rust susceptible durum, indicated that 8404 had three genes for leaf rust resistance. Two of these genes were transferred to hexaploid wheat (Thatcher) by a series of backcrosses. One of the genes transferred was the same as Lr33 (RL6057). The second gene, which gives a fleck reaction to avirulent P. recondita races, appears to be fully incorporated into the hexaploid where it segregated to fit a one-gene ratio. Backcross lines with this gene give excellent resistance to leaf rust, although race MBG is virulent to this gene. This may be a previously unidentified leaf rust resistance gene and should increase the genetic diversity available for wheat breeders. Key words:Triticum aestivum, wheat, Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides, leaf rust resistance

Abstract We report the map-based cloning of the leaf rust resistance gene Lr21, previously mapped to a generich region at the distal end of chromosome arm 1DS of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Molecular cloning of Lr21 was facilitated by diploid/polyploid shuttle mapping strategy. Cloning of Lr21 was confirmed by genetic transformation and by a stably inherited resistance phenotype in transgenic plants. Lr21 spans 4318 bp and encodes a 1080-amino-acid protein containing a conserved nucleotide-binding site (NBS) domain, 13 imperfect leucine-rich repeats (LRRs), and a unique 151-amino-acid sequence missing from known NBS-LRR proteins at the N terminus. Fine-structure genetic analysis at the Lr21 locus detected a noncrossover (recombination without exchange of flanking markers) within a 1415-bp region resulting from either a gene conversion tract of at least 191 bp or a double crossover. The successful map-based cloning approach as demonstrated here now opens the door for cloning of many crop-specific agronomic traits located in the gene-rich regions of bread wheat.
