Resistance to stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks, and Henn.), particularly adult plant resisitance to race 15B-1, was studied in seven wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars or lines: 'Bonza', 'Chris', 'FKN-II-50-17', 'MRFY', 'Thatcher', 'Marquillo', and 'Hope'. Each of the seven was crossed with a susceptible parent and either F4- or F5-derived lines developed by single seed descent. All of the lines were tested with race 15B-1 in field nurseries. Lines derived from parents carrying seedling resistance to race 15B-1 were also tested as seedlings in the greenhouse with race 15B-1, and in some cases races 56, 29, and C65. The data indicated that 'Bonza' carries Sr6, probably Sr5, an unidentified gene giving resistance to race 56, two unidentified genes for resistance to race C65, and two minor genes that combine to produce intermediate adult plant resistance. 'Chris' carries Sr5, Sr7a, Sr8a, and Sr12. In addition, it may have three minor genes for adult plant resistance. 'FKN-II-50-17' carries Sr6 and may have four minor genes that combine to produce moderate adult plant resistance. 'MRFY', which is seedling susceptible to race 15B-1, carries Sr9b, possibly Sr5, plus an unidentified gene for resistance to C65. In addition, it appears to have one major gene for adult plant resistance plus two or more minor genes. 'Thatcher', 'Marquillo', and 'Hope' had only limited resistance to race 15B-1 in the field and no genetic analysis of their crosses was possible. The four parents that had good resistance to race 15B-1 in the field, 'Bonza', 'Chris', 'FKN-II-50-17', and 'MRFY', all carry minor genes for adult plant resistance that had little effect individually but produced moderate resistance when combined. The genes Sr5 and Sr9b, which have no effect on resistance to 15B-1 is seedlings, were found to significantly increase resistance in adult plants in the field.Key words: stem rust, Puccinia graminis tritici, wheat, Triticum aestivum, adult plant rust resistance.

Tests were carried out to identify and locate the genes for resistance to races 15B-1L and 56 in Hope and H-44. The gene Sr1 which conditions resistance to race 56 was found to be either very closely linked or more probably allelic to Sr9. It is proposed that it be redesignated Sr9d. The gene Sr2 which conditions adult plant resistance to race 56 appears to be on chromosome 3B. The recessive gene conditioning resistance to race 15B-1L was identified as sr17 which is on chromosome 7B.

In Ethiopia, breeding rust resistant wheat cultivars is a priority for wheat production. A stem rust epidemic during 2013 to 2014 on previously resistant cultivar Digalu highlighted the need to determine the effectiveness of wheat lines to multiple races of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici in Ethiopia. During 2014 and 2015, we evaluated a total of 97 bread wheat and 14 durum wheat genotypes against four P. graminis f. sp. tritici races at the seedling stage and in single-race field nurseries. Resistance genes were postulated using molecular marker assays. Bread wheat lines were resistant to race JRCQC, the race most virulent to durum wheat. Lines with stem rust resistance gene Sr24 possessed the most effective resistance to the four races. Only three lines with adult plant resistance possessed resistance effective to the four races comparable with cultivars with Sr24. Although responses of the wheat lines across races were positively correlated, wheat lines were identified that possessed adult plant resistance to race TTKSK but were relatively susceptible to race TKTTF. This study demonstrated the importance of testing wheat lines for response to multiple races of the stem rust pathogen to determine if lines possessed non-race-specific resistance.

The wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars Bonza and Chris have adult plant resistance to stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & Henn.) in addition to genes for specific resistance. Both cultivars were crossed to a susceptible wheat, LMPG. Lines carrying the adult plant resistances of the two parents were produced by selecting for seedling susceptibility in the greenhouse and adult plant resistance in the field to race 15B-1 (TMH). Three homozygous lines derived from Bonza and two from Chris were crossed and backcrossed to LMPG. Backcross F2 families were grown in a field nursery inoculated with a multi-race mixture of eight stem rust isolates including 15B-1. Stem rust severities in percent were recorded. An analysis of the data indicated that adult plant resistance of Bonza was controlled by a single recessive gene and that of Chris by two complementary recessive genes. Since the resistance was effective against a complex mixture of virulent stem rust races, it should be of interest to wheat breeders. Key words: Stem rust, Puccinia graminis, common wheat, Triticum aestivum, adult plant resistance

Inheritance of resistance to race 15B-1 of stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks, and Henn.) was studied in six lines of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) having adult plant resistance. The six lines were crossed to a susceptible line and the progenies were advanced to the F5 generation by the single seed descent method. From 91 to 135 F5-derived F7 lines from each cross were tested with race 15B-1 in field nurseries and selected lines were tested in a multirace nursery. The number of genes controlling resistance was estimated by grouping the F7 lines into those as resistant as the resistant parent and other lines, and testing against the ratios expected with various numbers of genes. In 1982, for all six crosses, the segregations fit best to either three- or four-gene ratios. The mean rust severities for the F7 lines in each cross were concentrated at the susceptible end of the distribution. Apparently the genes for resistance had small effects that were multiplicative rather than additive. Under lighter epiphytotics in 1983 and 1984, additional F7 lines were classified as resistant as the resistant parents. The F7 lines were generally more resistant to the multirace mixture than to race 15B-1. The resistant parents probably carried genes for specific seedling resistance to some of the races but in some cases may have carried additional genes for adult plant resistance.Key words: stem rust, Puccinia graminis tritici, wheat, Triticum aestivum, adult plant resistance.

Using the recently developed monosomic aeries of Redman spring wheat in crosses with Prelude, genetic studies were undertaken on stem rust reaction and awn expression. It was found that chromosomes III, VIII and XIII of Redman carry factors for adult plant resistance to race 56 of Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Erikss. & Henn. These factors are complementary and dominant in action. Complementary dominant factors for awn suppression appear to be located on chromosomes IX and XVII. These results are discussed in the light of recent comparable monosomic studies.

Stem rust (incited by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) is a devastating disease of wheat and barley in many production areas. The widely virulent African P. graminis f. sp. tritici race TTKSK is of particular concern, because most cultivars are susceptible. To prepare for the possible arrival of race TTKSK in North America, we crossed a range of barley germplasm—representing different growth habits and end uses—with donors of stem rust resistance genes Rpg1 and rpg4/Rpg5. The former confers resistance to prevalent races of P. graminis f. sp. tritici in North America, and the latter confers resistance to TTKSK and other closely related races from Africa. We produced doubled haploids from these crosses and determined their allele type at the Rpg loci and haplotype at 7,864 single-nucleotide polymorphism loci. The doubled haploids were phenotyped for TTKSK resistance at the seedling stage. Integration of genotype and phenotype data revealed that (i) Rpg1 was not associated with TTKSK resistance, (ii) rpg4/Rpg5 was necessary but was not sufficient for resistance, and (iii) specific haplotypes at two quantitative trait loci were required for rpg4/Rpg5 to confer resistance to TTKSK. To confirm whether lines found resistant to TTKSK at the seedling resistance were also resistant at the adult plant stage, a subset of doubled haploids was evaluated in Kenya. Additionally, adult plant resistance to leaf rust and stripe rust (incited by Puccinia hordei and Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei, respectively) was also assessed on the doubled haploids in field trials at three locations in the United States over a 2-year period. Doubled haploids were identified with adult plant resistance to all three rusts, and this germplasm is available to the research and breeding communities.
