The genetics of seedling resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm.) was investigated in what (Triticum aestivum L.) introductions PI 268454, PI 58548 and PI 268316, originally collected in Afghanistan, China and Iran, respectively. PI 268454 was heterogeneous for resistance. A selection (PI 268454a) has a gene that confers a 1+ reaction while a second selection (PI 268454b) probably has resistance gene Lr2b. PI 58548 has two genes for resistance, one giving a 1+ reaction and the second a 2+. These two genes interact to produce a; 1 reaction. PI 268316 has three interacting genes, one giving a 1+ reaction, the second a 2+ and a third resistance gene similar to LrB. The gene giving the 1+ reaction was common to all three introductions. PI 58548 and PI 268316 carry different genes for infection type 2+. Backcross lines of the single genes were produced. Implications to breeding for disease resistance of genes interacting to produce different phenotype are discussed.

The common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) experimental line Prelude/8* Marquis was determined to have a gene that inhibits the expression of gene Lr23 for seedling resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm.) whereas the cultivar Prelude does not. This inhibitor had previously been reported in the cultivar Thatcher.

The inheritance of seedling resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm.) was studied in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars: Terenzio, Lageadinho, PI 321999, PI 197249, CRIC 26809-68, CIRC 32125-70, 72 Hills 175 and Frontana. They have in common two complementary genes (LrT2 and LrT3) that give a variable type of leaf rust resistance. Gene LrT2 is the most effective gene. In the Thatcher background, resistance to stem rust in the adult plant stage appears to be associated with this gene. The previously reported gene from PI 58548 that gives a 2+ infection type appears to be the same as LrT2. Terenzio also carries Lr3 and Lr30 while PI 197249 has Lr3.

The inheritance of seedling resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita) was studied in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars Rafaela and EAP 26127. Rafaela has genes Lr14b and Lr17 while EAP 26127 has Lr17. Lr17 was located on chromosome 2A, possibly the short arm, and was independent of Lr11.

Triticum aestivum L. cv. Etoile de Choisy possesses two genes governing reaction to Australian and Canadian strains of Puccinia graminis tritici: Sr23, a gene causing chlorosis and necrosis of infected tissue which is completely linked with Lr16 for reaction to P. recondita, and a second gene, designated SrEC, resembling a gene previously reported by Bartos et al., that produces infection type "2" to "3" with avirulent cultures.

The inheritance of seedling resistance to isolate RLR 213/78 of rye leaf rust (Puccinia recondita f. sp. secalis) and race 30 of wheat leaf rust (P. recondita f. sp. tritici Rob.) was investigated in six inbred lines of rye (Secale cereale). Inbred line UM8116 was used as the susceptible parent in crosses. Inbred lines UM8003, UM8071 and UM8301 each have a single gene and UM8336 and UM8340 each have two genes for resistance to rye leaf rust. For resistance to wheat leaf rust UM8071 has a single gene, UM8003 and UM8340 each have two genes and UM8301 and UM8336 each have three genes. UM8295 is heterogeneous for reaction to both rusts. One of the genes in UM8340 may condition resistance to both rusts. The genes for resistance to RLR 213/78 appear to be independently inherited while some of the genes conferring resistance to race 30 may be identical or very closely linked. The potential of rye as a source of disease resistance for wheat and triticale improvement is discussed.Key words: Secale cereale, disease resistance, wheat leaf rust

A gene for resistance to Puccinia recondita, originally detected in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) accessions PI58548, PI268454, and PI268316, has been located on the long arm of chromosome 1B, 3.1 ± 1.2 crossover units from the centromere. In a cross between the backcross line RL6057 containing this new gene, now designated Lr33, and the backcross line RL6078 containing gene Lr26, gene Lr33 is closely linked to gene Lr26 (or the translocation breakpoint) with an estimated 2.6 ± 0.8 recombination value. RL6057 and RL6078 differ in gliadin bands that are controlled by genes on the short arm of chromosome 1B or 1R. The banding difference was completely associated with the presence or absence of Lr26. Key words: Triticum, Puccinia, linkage.
