The genetics of resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici) was studied in the two common wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars Kenyon and Buck Manantial. Kenyon was shown to have genes Lr13 and Lr16, the same gene combination that is present in the cultivar Columbus. Buck Manantial, the leaf-rust resistant donor parent of Kenyon, has seedling genes Lr13 (or an allele), Lr16 and Lr17, and two for adult-plant resistance, Lr13 and an unidentified gene.Key words: Leaf rust resistance, Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici, wheat (hard red spring)

Gene Lr29 transferred from Agropyron elongatum to chromosome 7D of wheat and gene LrVPM transferred from VPM1 both segregated as single genes for seedling resistance to leaf rust when backcrossed into common wheat (Triticum aestivum). Although the seedling resistance of the VPM lines was intermediate, their adult plant resistance was excellent. This resistance was not on chromosome 7D. The VPM lines also had seedling and adult plant resistance to stem rust. Resistant backcross lines with either Lr29 or LrVPM had higher kernel protein levels than did susceptible sister lines under both rust and rust-free conditions. Although this higher protein content was associated with weaker dough mixing properties, the remix loaf volume remained constant. Leaf rust infection had a detrimental effect on grain yield and kernel weight and on wheat quality as shown by decreased kernel protein content and farinograph absorption. Dough mixing strength was higher for the rust infected lines than the rust resistant lines.Key words: Triticum aestivum, wheat (spring), leaf rust resistance, protein content, breadmaking quality

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.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar 'Frontana' and three globally leaf rust resistant CIMMYT spring bread wheats, 'Parula', 'Trap', and 'Mango', which displayed seedling susceptibility to Mexican pathotypes TCB/TD and (or) TBD/TM of Puccinia recondita f.sp. tritici and which displayed high levels of adult-plant resistance, were genetically analyzed. The four wheats were intercrossed and crossed with seedling and adult-plant susceptible cultivars 'Inia 66' or 'Yecora 70', and also with 'RL6058', a tester for leaf rust resistance gene Lr34. Adult-plant resistance to leaf rust appeared to be based on four additive genes in 'Frontana' and three additive genes in each of the other resistant wheats. Gene Lr34 was confirmed to be present in all four wheats and appeared to be important in conferring adult-plant resistance in conjunction with other partially effective adult-plant resistance genes. Some of these latter genes appeared to be common in the four wheats, since limited segregation occurred when intercrossed. Genes Lr3, Lr10, Lr13, and Lr26 appeared to be independent of the adult-plant resistance. The resistance is expected to be durable, since the source of Lr34 and the additional genes was traced to 'Frontana', which has retained its field resistance since its release in 1943.Key words: adult-plant resistance, genetics, Puccinia recondita f.sp. tritici, Triticum aestivum.

Genetic studies for leaf-rust resistance were conducted on four Indian (CPAN1235, HD2135, HP1209, and VL404) and two Australian (CSP44 and Oxley) bread wheat cultivars. The F2 and F3 plants from their crosses with each other and with susceptible cultivar Agra Local were tested against a mixture of pathotypes 77-1 and 77-2 (variants of race 77). Disease scores on F1's from resistant/susceptible parent crosses indicated partial dominance of resistance in these wheats. The six cultivars have two adult-plant resistance genes each. Their intercrosses revealed similar resistance gene(s) in CSP44 and Oxley, and CPAN1235 and HP1209. The six wheats appear to carry at least seven diverse leaf-rust resistance genes (temporarily named LrI to LrO) against pathotypes 77-1 + 77-2. Adult-plant resistance is additive and therefore the combinations of partially effective resistance genes identified in this study can provide higher levels of resistance. Because these genes are of hexaploid origin, they can be easily exploited in breeding programs. Furthermore, two or more resistance genes from the six wheat cultivars when combined with Lr34 are likely to impart durable resistance to leaf rust.Key words: adult-plant resistance, leaf-rust resistance, wheat, Puccinia recondita, Triticum aestivum.

Leaf rust is an important wheat disease that is a significant hindrance for wheat production in most areas of the world. Breeding resistant cultivars can effectively and economically control the disease. In the present study, a wheat collection consisting of 100 cultivars from China and 18 improved germplasms from global landrace donors together with 36 known single Lr gene lines were tested with 20 strains of Puccinia triticina Eriks. in the seedling stage to postulate the Lr gene in the cultivars and germplasms. In addition, 12 diagnostic molecular markers specific to 10 Lr genes were used to detect the presence of the Lr genes in the wheat collection. Resistance to leaf rust of these cultivars at the adult plant stage was tested in fields under natural infection during the 2016 to 2018 cropping seasons in Baoding, Hebei Province. The gene postulation combined with molecular marker detection showed that six Lr genes (Lr1, Lr26, Lr33, Lr34, Lr45, and Lr46) were identified in 44 wheat accessions, including 37 cultivars and seven improved germplasms. Among the 44 wheat accessions postulated with Lr genes, Lr1 was present in four accessions, Lr26 in 12 accessions, Lr33 in two accessions, Lr34 in 14 accessions, Lr45 in three accessions, and Lr46 in 16 accessions. In the collection of 118 cultivars/germplasms, 34 wheat lines displayed adult-plant resistance carrying Lr34, Lr46, and/or underdetermined genes. Therefore, a high level of leaf rust resistance can be achieved through the combination of all-stage resistance and adult-plant resistance genes together in wheat cultivars.

Two accessions, V336 and V618, of the A. E. Watkins wheat (Triticum aestivum) collection were studied genetically for their resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita). The two accessions have in common a dominant gene that gives a fleck infection type reaction to all the isolates of leaf rust used. This gene may be a previously unidentified gene and we have tentatively assigned the gene symbol LrW. Both accessions also have gene Lr33 and V336 has LrB.Key words: Triticum aestivum, wheat, leaf rust resistance

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks., is the most common disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the United States and worldwide. The objective of this study was to characterize seedling and adult plant leaf rust resistance in hard red spring wheat cultivars grown in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota, and postulate the identity of the seedling leaf rust resistance genes in the cultivars. Twenty-six cultivars, near-isogenic lines of Thatcher wheat that differ for single leaf rust resistance genes, and three wheat cultivars with known leaf rust resistance genes, were tested with 11 different isolates of leaf rust collected from the United States and Canada. The leaf rust infection types produced on seedling plants of the cultivars in greenhouse tests were compared with the infection types produced by the same isolates on the Thatcher near-isogenic lines to postulate which seedling leaf rust resistance genes were present. Seedling leaf rust resistance genes Lr1, Lr2a, Lr10, Lr16, Lr21, and Lr24 were postulated to be present in spring wheat cultivars. Seedling genes Lr3, Lr14a, and Lr23 likely were present in some cultivars but could not be clearly identified in this study. Most of the cultivars had some level of adult plant leaf rust resistance, most likely due to Lr34. Cultivars that had seedling resistance genes Lr1, Lr2a, Lr10, or Lr16 had poor to intermediate levels of leaf rust resistance in field plots. Cultivars with combinations of seedling resistance genes Lr16 and Lr24 with additional adult plant resistance were highly resistant to leaf rust.
