Near-isolines carrying four different genes for resistance to leaf rust were used to find linked molecular markers for these genes. Clones used to detect polymorphism were selected on the basis of the reported chromosomal location of the resistance genes. Both Lophopyron-derived resistance genes, Lr19 and Lr24, cosegregated with eight molecular markers assigned to chromosomes 7DL and 3DL, respectively. One clone cosegregated with Lr9 and two closely linked RFLP markers were found for Lr32, mapping at 3.3 ± 2.6 and 6.9 ± 3.6 cM from the resistance gene. The Lophopyron-chromatin segment in isolines carrying chromosomes 7E (Lr19) and 3E (Lr24) replaced a large portion of chromosome 7D and the distal portion of chromosome 3D, respectively. Clones assigned to these chromosomes on the basis of aneuploid analysis hybridized to 7E and 3E segments, thus confirming cytological results that these introgressed segments represent homoeologous chromosomes. The linked RFLP markers could be used to identify the resistance genes and generate new combinations in breeding populations, especially in the absence of disease in the environment or when virulence is lacking.Key words: leaf rust, RFLP, Lophopyron, gene tagging, wheat, Aegilops umbellulata, Triticum tauschii.

The article presents the results of the characterization of 277 lines of common wheat developed in the National Center of Grain named after P.P. Lukyanenko by the presence of molecular markers linked to leaf rust resistance genes Lr9, Lr19, Lr24, Lr37, Lr26. Lines with Lr9 and Lr19 were not identified. We detected 52 lines carrying Lr24; 80 lines with Lr26; 141 lines with Lr37. Lines carrying a combination of leaf rust resistance genes were selected using molecular markers. The presence of a combination of Lr37 + Lr26 was established in 31 lines. The combination of Lr24 + Lr26 was detected in 12 lines. Line 125-15 Ms 2 carries a combination of Lr37 + Lr24. A pyramid of three genes was found in the line 144-15 Ms 2. Currently, the selected lines are widely involved in the breeding process.

Improving resistance to barley leaf rust (caused by Puccinia hordei) is an important breeding objective in most barley growing regions worldwide. The development and subsequent utilisation of high-throughput PCR-based co-dominant molecular markers remains an effective approach to select genotypes with multiple effective resistance genes, permitting efficient gene deployment and stewardship. The genes Rph20 and Rph24 confer widely effective adult plant resistance (APR) to leaf rust, are common in European and Australian barley germplasm (often in combination), and act interactively to confer high levels of resistance (Dracatos et al. 2015; Zeims et al. 2017; Singh et al. 2018). Here we report on the development and validation of co-dominant insertion-deletion (indel) based PCR markers that are highly predictive for the Rph20 and Rph24 resistances.

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina (Ptr), is a significant disease of spring wheat spread in Kazakhstan. The development of resistant cultivars importantly requires the effective use of leaf rust resistance genes. This study aims to: (i) determine variation in Ptr population using races from the East Kazakhstan, Akmola, and Almaty regions of Kazakhstan; (ii) examine resistance during seedling and adult plant stages; and (iii) identify the sources of Lr resistance genes among the spring wheat collection using molecular markers. Analysis of a mixed population of Ptr identified 25 distinct pathotypes. Analysis of these pathotypes using 16 Thatcher lines that are near-isogenic for leaf rust resistance genes (Lr) showed different virulence patterns, ranging from least virulent “CJF/B” and “JCL/G” to highly virulent “TKT/Q”. Most of the pathotypes were avirulent to Lr9, Lr19, Lr24, and Lr25 and virulent to Lr1, Lr2a, Lr3ka, Lr11, and Lr30. The Ptr population in Kazakhstan is diverse, as indicated by the range of virulence observed in five different races analyzed in this study. The number of genotypes showed high levels of seedling resistance to each of the five Ptr races, thus confirming genotypic diversity. Two genotypes, Stepnaya 62 and Omskaya 37, were highly resistant to almost all five tested Ptr pathotypes. Stepnaya 62, Omskaya 37, Avangard, Kazakhstanskaya rannespelaya, and Kazakhstanskaya 25 were identified as the most stable genotypes for seedling resistance. However, most of the varieties from Kazakhstan were susceptible in the seedling stage. Molecular screening of these genotypes showed contrasting differences in the genes frequencies. Among the 30 entries, 22 carried leaf rust resistance gene Lr1, and two had Lr9 and Lr68. Lr10 and Lr28 were found in three and four cultivars, respectively. Lr19 was detected in Omskaya 37. Two single cultivars separately carried Lr26 and Lr34, while Lr37 was not detected in any genotypes within this study. Field evaluation demonstrated that the most frequent Lr1 gene is ineffective. Kazakhstanskaya 19 and Omskaya 37 had the highest number of resistance genes: three and four Lr genes, respectively. Two gene combinations (Lr1, Lr68) were detected in Erythrospermum 35 and Astana. The result obtained may assist breeders in incorporating effective Lr genes into new cultivars and developing cultivars resistant to leaf rust.

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina is a common and widespread disease of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), in Egypt. Host resistance is the most economical, effective and ecologically sustainable method for controlling the disease. Molecular markers help to determine leaf rust resistance genes (Lr genes) that may be present in a large group of wheat germplasm. The objective of this study was to evaluate and detect leaf rust resistance genes in Egyptian wheat cultivars. Ten out of fifteen cultivars were resistance to leaf rust disease in four locations i.e., Dakahlia, Kafr el-Sheikh, Beheira and Sharqia during seasons 2011/2012 and 2012/2013. As for, using specific SSR primers proved that Lr19 was present in five cultivars i.e., Sakha-95, Gemmeiza-9, Gemmeiza-10, Misr-1 and Misr-2. Lr21. Lr24, Lr47, and Lr51 were detected in all tested cultivars. These genes should be taken into consideration in wheat breeding programs for successful rust resistance. Furthermore these materials can be used as a parent for plant breeders to add new effective resistance genes to their breeding materials because of the dynamic change of leaf rust races which can breakdown the resistance.

Abstract Triticale (×Triticosecale Wittmack) is a commercial hybrid harboring wheat (Triticum sp.) and rye (Secale cereale L.) genomes. The limited genetic diversity of this crop resulted in the collapse of fungal disease resistance. Leaf rust disease, caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks. is reported to reduce the triticale yield significantly (more than 30%). There is a need to enlarge the genetic variability of this crop including leaf resistance genes. The main aim of this research was to transfer Lr39 and Lr54 leaf rust resistance genes into triticale from Aegilops tauschii and Ae. kotschyi, respectively. A reaction of seedlings of 200 plants of two triticale-Aegilops translocation lines (Bogo-2Dt.2R and Sekundo-2Sk.2R) was compared after inoculation with a natural mixture of P. triticina races, specific to triticale. Before inoculation, each plant was screened using molecular cytogenetics and molecular markers linked to leaf rust resistance genes. Presence of Aegilops chromosome segments was confirmed using genomic in situ hybridization (GISH). Lr39 and Lr54 leaf rust resistance genes were identified using Xgdm35 and S14 molecular markers, respectively. After inoculation, a significant improvement of resistance severity was observed in Sekundo-2Sk.2R in comparison with triticale cv. Sekundo plants. The resistance level of Bogo-2Dt.2R did not differ compared to triticale cv. Bogo plants. It was shown, that Lr39 gene did not increase the leaf rust resistance level of triticale cv. Bogo.
