A stem rust resistant wheat-Agropyron derivative obtained from Dr. F. X. Laubscher was crossed and backcrossed to Triticum aestivum L. cv. Marquis to determine the inheritance of its resistance to stem rust. Resistance proved to be carried on an Agropyron chromosome. A substitution line was obtained in which the Agropyron chromosome had replaced wheat chromosome 7D. The Agropyron chromosome compensates well for 7D in both plants and gametes and must, therefore, be homoeologous with the chromosomes of group 7. It is homologous with chromosome 7el1, the Agropyron chromosome carrying leaf rust resistance in Agrus, and it is, therefore, designated 7el2. Like 7el1 it carries a gene that results in a high level of yellow pigment in the flour. The frequent occurrence of genes for rust resistance on Agropyron chromosomes of homoeologous group 7 suggests that they may be related by descent.

Cytogenetic Evidence

Backcross lines of gene LrT2 for resistance to leaf rust in the common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) 'Thatcher' unexpectedly show improved resistance to stem rust compared with that of the recurrent parent. Genetic–cytogenetic evidence indicates that LrT2 is on chromosome 7D, which is known to carry the "suppressor" gene(s) that prevent the expression of stem rust resistance conferred by other genes in 'Canthatch'. Thus, LrT2 may be a nonsuppressing allele of the suppressor gene(s) or be closely linked to such an allele. LrT2 has been designated Lr34. Key words: Triticum, wheat, rust resistance.

Or Genes

The rust resistance of a 56-chromosome wheat-Agropyron derivative was found to be controlled by a gene or genes on a single Agropyron chromosome. Resistant wheat plants having 21II of wheat chromosomes plus a single added Agropyron chromosome were produced. Spikes of these plants were irradiated with either gamma rays or X-rays and seeds were irradiated with thermal neutrons. As a result of the irradiation, in at least five lines and possibly seven a piece of the Agropyron chromosome carrying the gene or genes for rust resistance was transferred to a wheat chromosome. One of the translocations is transmitted normally through the gametes but the remaining six show irregularities in transmission particularly through the pollen.

Adult Plants

The wheat cultivars Agent and Agatha each possess closely linked genes for resistance to Puccinia graminis tritici and P. recondita derived from Agropyron elongatum. The genes in Agent, located in chromosome 3D, were designated Sr24 and Lr24. The gene in Agatha for resistance to P. graminis tritici was designated Sr25 and is linked with Lr19 in chromosome 7D. Both Agent and Agatha possess additional genes for resistance to certain cultures of P. graminis tritici. Sr24 is considered a valuable source of resistance for wheat-breeding purposes, but Sr25 conferred an inadequate level of resistance to adult plants. A translocation from an A. elongatum chromosome to wheat chromosome 6A, present in Australian cultivars Eagle, Kite and Jabiru, carries a third gene, Sr26, for stem rust resistance.

The Canadian common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar 'Roblin' is resistant to both leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm.) and stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. and E. Henn.). To study the genetics of this resistance, 'Roblin' was crossed with 'Thatcher', a leaf rust susceptible cultivar, and RL6071, a stem rust susceptible line. A set of F6 random lines was developed from each cross. The random lines and the parents were grown in a field rust nursery artificially inoculated with a mixture of P. recondita and P. graminis isolates and scored for rust reaction. The same material was tested with specific races of leaf rust and stem rust. These data indicated that 'Roblin' has Lr1, Lr10, Lr13, and Lr34 for resistance to P. recondita and Sr5, Sr9b, Sr11, and possibly Sr7a and Sr12 for resistance to P. graminis. In a 'Thatcher' background, the presence of Lr34 contributes to improve stem rust resistance, which appears also to occur in 'Roblin'.Key words: Triticum aestivum, wheat, leaf rust resistance, stem rust resistance.

The nullisomic for chromosome 7D (2n = 40) of the hexaploid wheat cv. Canthatch (Triticum aestivum L., 2n = 42) was found to be resistant in both the seedling and adult-plant stages to several races of stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. and E. Henn) to which normal disomic Canthatch (2n = 42) was susceptible. Since ditelosomic 7DL (2n = 40 + tt) reacted in the same manner as Canthatch, it appears that a gene(s) is present on the long arm of chromosome 7D that suppresses resistance determined by other genes, probably on chromosomes of the A and B genomes. Evidence indicated that the suppressor was derived from the ancestral, diploid progenitor of common wheat, Aegilops squarrosa L., rather than by mutation at the hexaploid level. The results provide a genetic explanation for apparent failures of some attempts to transfer stem rust and leaf rust resistance to hexaploid wheat from diploid and tetraploid relatives.

Leaf rust resistance in five triticale cultivars was controlled by a single gene designated LrSatu. This gene was closely linked in coupling with the stem rust resistance gene SrSatu believed to be located on chromosome 3R. Approximately 50% of lines in the 17th International Triticale Screening Nursery possessed SrSatu and LrSatu. Lines carrying SrSatu and LrSatu occurred more frequently among complete than in substituted triticale lines.Key words: × Triticosecale Wittmack, P. graminis f.sp. tritici, P. recondita f.sp. tritici, leaf rust, stem rust, rust resistnace, genetic linkage.

Inheritance Of Rust Resistance

Thatcher was the predominant wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar on the Canadian prairies in the 1950s. Until race 15B (TMH) of stem rust (Puccinia graminis pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & Henn.) became widespread, Thatcher had good resistance to stem rust, but was susceptible to leaf rust (P. recondita f. sp. tritici Rob. ex Desm.). Although genes for stem rust resistance have been identified in Thatcher, the inheritance of its resistance has never been fully understood. The objective of this research was to attempt to elucidate the inheritance of the resistance of Thatcher and to determine why it had a reputation as a poor parent for rust resistance. Over a period of 40 yr, crosses and backcrosses to a susceptible genotype and two sets of single seed descent (SSD) lines were studied. The second set of SSD lines was tested with isolates of six races of stem rust to which Thatcher is resistant. The data showed that Thatcher is a very heterogenous cultivar with individual plants differing widely in the genes for stem rust resistance that they carry. The inheritance of rust resistance varied greatly from race to race and was often quite complex. Either complementary genes or a gene plus a suppressor appeared to condition resistance to one race. Most genes gave resistance to only one race. The presence of Sr5, which Thatcher is known to have obtained from Kanred, was confirmed. Most of its many additional genes probably came from Iumillo durum wheat. Key words: Stem rust, Thatcher wheat, single seed descent

A partially dominant gene for adult-plant leaf rust resistance together with a linked, partially dominant gene for stem rust resistance were transferred to the hexaploid wheat cultivar 'Marquis' from an amphiploid of Aegilops speltoides × Triticum monococcum by direct crossing and backcrossing. Pathological evidence indicated that the alien resistance genes were derived from Ae. speltoides. Differential transmission of the resistance genes through the male gametes occurred in hexaploid hybrids involving the resistant 'Marquis' stock and resulted in distorted segregation ratios. In heterozygotes, pairing between the chromosome arm with the alien segment and the corresponding arm of the normal wheat chromosome was greatly reduced. The apparent close linkage between the two resistance genes, 3 ± 1.07 crossover units, was misleading because of this decrease in pairing in the presence of the 5B diploidizing mechanism. The newly identified gene for adult-plant leaf rust resistance, located on chromosome 2B, is different from adult-plant resistance genes Lr12, Lr13, and Lr22 and from that in the hexaploid accession PI250413; it has been designated Lr35. It is not known whether the newly transferred gene for stem rust resistance differs from Sr32, also derived from Ae. speltoides and located on chromosomes 2B.Key words: hexaploid, Triticum, Aegilops, aneuploid, Puccinia graminis, Puccinia recondita.

Resistance to Puccinia graminis tritici pathotype 34-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 in a South African wheat, W3757, was attributed to a dominant gene located in an alien (possibly Agropyron elongatum) chromosome that had substituted with wheat chromosome 6D. This gene, designated SrB, and present in two additional South African wheats, W3758 and W3759, conferred a high level of adult plant resistance to pathotypes used for field assessments. Because SrB is apparently different from other genes transferred from A. elongatum to wheat, its possible exploitation following translocation to a wheat chromosome seems warranted.

The genetics of resistance to stem rust (Puccinia graminis tritici) was investigated in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars Romany, Es.P 518/9, Bonny and Tama that are resistant to many races in both Canada and Kenya. Seedling resistance in the four cultivars to 12 Canadian races is controlled primarily by previously identified genes. The results indicate that the cultivars have the following genes: Romany — Sr5, Sr6, Sr7a, Sr9b and SrW; Es.P 518/9 — Sr5, Sr6, Sr7a, Sr8, Sr9b, SrW and possibly Sr17; Bonny — Sr6 and Sr11; and Tama — Sr6 and Sr8. Gene SrW confers moderate resistance and is also present in the cultivar Webster.
