Inheritance of seedling resistance to races 15 and 161 of leaf rust was investigated in the varieties Webster, Loros, Brevit, Carina, Malakof and Centenario. Backcross lines were developed in Thatcher and/or Prelude with leaf rust resistance derived from all the varieties except Brevit. The varieties and backcross lines were tested with nine races of rust. Webster was found to have the Lr2 gene which accounts for all of its resistance to the races used. Carina has an allele, Lr22, at the Lr2 locus, plus a gene tentatively assigned the symbol LrB, independent of the Lr2 locus which confers a type 2 reaction to races 15, 161 and probably several others. Resistance present in Loros is accounted for another allele, Lr24, at the Lr2 locus. Brevit also has an allele at the Lr2 locus which may be the same as that in Loros. In addition it probably has gene LrB conferring a type 2 reaction. Gene Lr1, which was independent of the Lr2 locus, accounts for all the detected resistance in Malakof. Centenario has the Lr1 gene and in addition has resistance to races 5 and 126a.The susceptible parents Thatcher and Prelude influence the dominance of the Lr2 alleles. The Lr22 allele in Carina x Prelude6 was partially dominant in crosses with Thatcher and completely dominant in crosses with Red Bobs. The Lr24 allele in Loros x Prelude6 was recessive in crosses with Thatcher and completely dominant in crosses with Prelude and Red Bobs.The expression of resistance of the Lr2 alleles to race 161 in Webster and Carina was different in crosses with Red Bobs than in those with Thatcher. In the crosses with Red Bobs one or more genes, which modified the degree of resistance to race 161, appeared to be segregating. This was not observed in crosses with Thatcher.

The inheritance of seedling resistance to leaf rust was studied in the wheat varieties Democrat, Sinvalocho, Bage and Klein Aniversario and in the backcross lines developed from them. The Lr3 gene from Democrat and Sinvalocho conferred resistance to races 1, 9 and 11. Genetic analysis of the Sinvalocho × Prelude0 line (with Lr3), using a rust culture that was avirulent on Democrat × Thatcher6 and Sinvalocho etc., but virulent on Sinvalocho × Prelude6, indicated the presence of a suppressor gene in Prelude. The variety Bage has two genes for resistance to races 9 and 11, one giving a 0; reaction and the other a type 2. The former gene was present in Bage × Thatcher8 and was allelic to, or closely linked with, the Lr3 gene. It is temporarily designated Lr3bg. Klein Aniversario may have two independently inherited genes conferring resistance to race 11 and two to race 161. One of the genes conferred resistance to both races and was transferred to Thatcher and Prelude. This gene was also allelic to, or closely linked with, the Lr3 gene and is designated Lr3ka. These results suggest a complex Lr3 locus with a series of alleles or closely linked genes.

Abstract Leaf rust caused by the fungus Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici is one of the most dangerous diseases of common wheat. Infections caused by fungal pathogens reduce the quantity and quality of yields of many cereal species. The most effective method to limit plant infection is to use cultivars that show rust resistance. Genetically conditioned horizontal-type resistance (racial-nonspecific) is a desirable trait because it is characterized by more stable expression compared to major (R) genes that induce racially specific resistance, often overcome by pathogens. Horizontal resistance is conditioned by the presence of slow rust genes, which include genes Lr34 and Lr46. This study aimed to identify markers linked to both genes in 64 common wheat lines and to develop multiplex PCR reaction conditions that were applied to identify both genes simultaneously. The degree of infestation of the analyzed lines was also assessed in field conditions during the growing season of 2017 and 2018. Simple sequence repeat anchored-polymerase chain reaction (SSR-PCR) marker csLV was identified during analysis in line PHR 4947. The presence of a specific sequence has also been confirmed in multiplex PCR analyses. In addition to gene Lr34, gene Lr46 was identified in this genotype. Lines PHR 4947 and PHR 4819 were characterized by the highest leaf rust resistance in field conditions. During STS-PCR analyses, the marker wmc44 of gene Lr46 was identified in most of the analyzed lines. This marker was not present in the following genotypes: PHR 4670, PHR 4800, PHR 4859, PHR 4907, PHR 4922, PHR 4949, PHR 4957, PHR 4995, and PHR 4997. The presence of a specific sequence has also been confirmed in multiplex PCR analyses. Genotypes carrying the markers of the analyzed gene showed good resistance to leaf rust in field conditions in both 2017 and 2018. Research has demonstrated that marker assisted selection (MAS) and multiplex PCR techniques are excellent tools for selecting genotypes resistant to leaf rust.

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.

The inheritance of seedling resistance to races 1a, 5a, 11, 15a and 126a of leaf rust was studied in the varieties Exchange and Selkirk and to races 1a and 15a in the varieties Lee, Gabo, Timstein, Mayo 52 and Mayo 54. Thatcher was used as the susceptible variety. Rust tests were carried out on F1 and F2 populations of diallel crosses among these varieties and on F2 families from the backcrosses to Thatcher. Two genes were found. One gene LrE conditions a (2) type reaction to all five races in Exchange and Selkirk. The other gene LrL conditions a (; 1 =) type reaction to races 1a and 15a in all seven varieties. Isogenic lines possessing these genes are being developed in the varieties Prelude and Thatcher. The importance of such lines in future genetic studies and their application in other biological studies are discussed.The increase in amount of leaf rust found on Lee and Selkirk in Canada during the period 1951–1958 is accounted for by the increase of races which render the gene LrL ineffective in these two varieties.
