Abstract Utilization of modern breeding techniques for developing high yielding and uniform plant types ultimately narrowing the genetic makeup of most crops. Narrowed genetic makeup of these crops has made them vulnerable towards disease and insect epidemics. For sustainable crop production, genetic variability of these crops must be broadened against various biotic and abiotic stresses. One of the ways to widen genetic configuration of these crops is to identify novel additional sources of durable resistance. In this regard crops wild relatives are providing valuable sources of allelic diversity towards various biotic, abiotic stress tolerance and quality components. For incorporating novel variability from wild relative’s wide hybridization technique has become a promising breeding method. For this purpose, wheat-Th. bessarabicum amphiploid, addition and translocation lines have been screened in field and screen house conditions to get novel sources of yellow rust and Karnal bunt resistant. Stripe rust screening under field conditions has revealed addition lines 4JJ and 6JJ as resistant to moderately resistant while addition lines 3JJ, 5JJ, 7JJ and translocation lines Tr-3, Tr-6 as moderately resistant wheat-Thinopyrum-bessarabicum genetic stock. Karnal bunt screening depicted addition lines 5JJ and 4JJ as highly resistant genetic stock. These genetic stocks may be used to introgression novel stripe rust and Karnal bunt resistance from the tertiary gene pool into susceptible wheat backgrounds.

Zhong 5 is a partial amphiploid (2n = 56) between Triticum aestivum (2n = 42) and Thinopyrum intermedium (2n = 42) carrying all the chromosomes of wheat and seven pairs of chromosomes from Th. intermedium. Following further backcrossing to wheat, six independent stable 2n = 44 lines were obtained representing 4 disomic chromosome addition lines. One chromosome confers barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) resistance, whereas two other chromosomes carry leaf and stem rust resistance; one of the latter also confers stripe rust resistance. Using RFLP and isozyme markers we have shown that the extra chromosome in the Zhong 5-derived BYDV resistant disomic addition lines (Z1, Z2, or Z6) belongs to the homoeologous group 2. It therefore carries a different locus to the BYDV resistant group 7 addition, L1, described previously. The leaf, stem, and stripe rust resistant line (Z4) carries an added group 7 chromosome. The line Z3 has neither BYDV nor rust resistance, is not a group 2 or group 7 addition, and is probably a group 1 addition. The line Z5 is leaf and stem rust resistant, is not stripe rust resistant, and its homoeology remains unknown.Key words: Agropyron, intermediate wheatgrass, leaf rust, stem rust, stripe rust, luteovirus.

Karnal bunt (KB) of wheat, caused byTilletia indica(Mitra) Mundkur, adversely affects international wheat trading and the movement of germplasm between countries due to quarantine restrictions. Breeding for host plant resistance requires the identification of KB resistance sources. Accessions of the D genome progenitor of bread wheat,Aegilops tauschii, were screened in a specially designed screen-house, where the optimum environmental conditions conducive for KB development were simulated by controlling temperature, humidity, fogging and shading. The 183 accessions were subjected to artificial inoculation with a mixture of nine KB isolates, and seven proved highly resistant and four moderately resistant over three rounds of screening over 3 years.

One way of incorporating useful traits from Aegilops biuncialis (2n=4x=28, U b U b M b M b ) into wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. 2n=6x=42, AABBDD) is to develop first addition then translocation lines. The 2M b , 3M b , 7M b , 3U b , 5U b and 5U b /6U b wheat- Ae. biuncialis addition lines were produced in Martonvásár. To facilitate the exact identification of the addition lines, it was necessary to analyse the fluorescence in situ hybridisation patterns of the parental wheat genotype, Ae. biuncialis and its diploid progenitors ( Ae. umbellulata 2n=2x=14, UU and Ae. comosa 2n=2x=14, MM). The great genetic variability of the Aegilops species causes polymorphism in the fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) patterns of the individual chromosomes. Due to the high level of FISH polymorphism, it is advisable to confirm the identification of the Ae. biuncialis chromosomes with the help of molecular (microsatellite, SSR) markers, so 119 wheat SSR markers were tested on Aegilops biuncialis , on Ae. geniculata (2n=4x=28, U g U g M g M g ), on five wheat- Ae. biuncialis addition lines (2M b , 3M b , 7M b , 3U b , 5U b ) and on an addition series of wheat- Ae. geniculata in order to select SSR markers specific to the U and M genomes of Ae. biuncialis and Ae. geniculata .

Development of stripe rust was observed on wheat cultivars that differed in reaction to the disease at the post booting stage of growth over 4 years (1984-1987) at Yanco and Wagga Wagga in southern New South Wales. In 1984, the epidemic began in August and the disease affected up to 20% of leaf area by the booting stage. The disease then ceased to develop in cultivars with moderately resistant or resistant adult plant reaction (APR) to stripe rust, but in susceptible wheats up to 82% of leaf area was affected by early milk stage of growth. The early onset in 1984 was associated with the highest rain in the previous summer-autumn (January-April) of the 4 years. In the other 3 years, the epidemics began laer. Stripe rust did not develop on cultivars with resistant APR, but it affected up to 97% of leaf area of the highly susceptible cultivar Avocet by early milk. The disease was more severe on later sown than early sown Avocet. The apparent rates of infection both before and after booting ranged from 0.02-0.41 per day. In each experiment, the rate was less on wheats with higher levels of APR while in 1984 the rate on all cultivars decreased from the pre-booting to the post-booting stage of crop growth. After booting, the apparent rates of infection on susceptible and moderately susceptible cultivars were postively correlated with the mean temperature during the period over which the rate was calculated, for the range 12.9-16.2�C. Over this range, the apparent rate of infection of susceptible wheats increased at 0.095 per day per �C while that of moderately susceptible wheats increased at 0.045 per day per �C. From 16.2-203�C the rate of susceptible wheats was negatively correlated with the mean temperature, and declined at 0.043 per day per �C. There was no significant relationship between apparent rate of infection and temperature for moderately resistant wheats after booting, or for rates before booting in 1984. Development of wheat, measured on the Zadoks scale, was linear from first appearance of the flag leaf (GS 37) to mid milk (GS 75) at both sites over the four years.

Rust diseases are considered to be responsible for significant qualitative and quantitative damages on wheat. However, the severity of rust diseases can be managed through development of resistant lines. The present study was aimed to scrutinize existing wheat germplasm against leaf rust and stripe rust of wheat. For this purpose 30 wheat genotypes were assessed for disease resistance under artificial inoculation conditions and 16 genotypes were evaluated under natural conditions at Nuclear Institute for Agriculture (NIA), Tandojam, Pakistan. The disease severity ratings were taken according to Cobs’scale. The studies revealed that wheat genotypes were markedly differed in their resistance to leaf and stripe rust. Among the tested wheat lines / varieties, 6 were rated as resistant, 6 moderately resistant, 13 showed MRMS type response, 2 showed moderately susceptible reaction, 3 lines/varieties displayed susceptible response against leaf rust under artificial conditions. Moreover, under natural conditions 1 was rated as resistant, 2 showed MRMS type response against leaf rust and all were found resistant or immune against stripe rusts under both the conditions. Hence, it was suggested that resistant genotypes evaluated from these studies can be deployed in the future breeding strategies to evolve the resistant varieties against leaf & stripe rusts of wheat
